Cannot get Magic Mouse to work in Windows 7 64-bit using Boot Camp

I recently purchased a Magic Mouse and installed it on the Mac OS X partition of my MacBook Pro. After successfully installing on the Mac side, I switched to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit using Boot Camp to install on the Windows partition. When I try to "Discover" a new Bluetooth device, the Magic Mouse does not show up in the list of devices (the mouse is powered on and next to the computer).
I am using the most recent version of Boot Camp (3.0.2) and have updated Windows 7. Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, is there a fix for it?
I appreciate any help!

OK, that is a Bluetooth mouse so open Windows Devices and Printers>Add a Device Toggle the power (on the mouse) off and then on. he mouse should appear in the window, follow instructions to add it.

Magic Mouse not working in Windows 8.1 via Boot Camp

Hi,
I'm using Windows 8.1 on a Mac Pro 64 bit with Mavericks.
On an internal SSD I installed Boot Camp 5.1.5621 and Windows 8.1.
Everything is working fine, except for the Bluetooth mouse, which is not recognized.
If I try to add the Bluetooth mouse via Settings/Change PC settings/PC and devices/Add a device, the system can't see it.
The Bluetooth icon is not visible in Device Manager:
I remember that with Windows 8 for a while I had the same problem, till it was solved after installing a generic Bluetooth driver, but now I don't remember where I found it and which it was.
I have been looking for that piece of software for months, I've tried with many, but with no result.
I've been googling any kind of article, doing many trials, with no result, and I'm getting crazy.
The Apple support directs me toward Microsoft support, while Microsoft support directs me toward Apple support.
Maybe that with 8.1 there are no chances?
Or there is a workaround?
Can someone help?
Many thanks in advance!

In the $WinPEDriver$ folder I can see the same files I see in yours: I'm enclosing a picture.
I'm enclosing also the picture of the About This Mac -> More Info -> System Report -> Bluetooth window, describing the hardware.
Thanks!

Can not install windows 7 pro using boot camp as mouse and keyboard will not work Help please

I have a new iMac and trying to install Windows 7 Pro using boot camp. I have reached the stage of starting to load windows from the DVD then discovered the mouse and the keyboards not working so I could not interact with windows installation.

Open, if not so already, the Windows formatter. Identify the BC Windows partition. It will be the one listed with the proper size you created and/or will be labeled as a C: drive. Be careful you select the right one or you may be corrupting the entire drive.
Format the partition as NTFS.

Just installed windows 7 Ultimate using Boot Camp. Problem is when I chose to boot the windows partition, I get the windows icon on the sreen showing that it is starting, but few second after I get a black screen

Just installed windows 7 Ultimate using Boot Camp. Problem is when I choose to boot the windows partition, I get the windows icon on the screen showing that it is starting, but few second after, I get a blank screen. I suspect a driver (screen) issue, since I also installed Parallell using the boot camp partition and that works fine.
Do anybody out there has an ideal of what to do to solve this issue.
Thanks

Cannot install Windows 7 32-bit using Boot Camp

I have one of the new iMacs (late 2012) and I can't install Windows 7 32-bit using Boot Camp. Whenever I try to being the installation using the Boot Camp Assistant, I always get the following message: "Need 64-bit Windows installation USB drive or DVD. Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use an USB drive or DVD which contains 64-bit Windows". I have successfully installed 32-bit Windows on my Macbook Pro that is running the same version of Mac OS X and Boot Camp, but I don't know why on this new iMac it doesn't allow me to. Apple's documentation states that I should be able to install either 32-bit and 64-bit without any problem, but this is not the case here. I can't find anything about this problem/error on the Internet either. HELP!!!

Yes, circumstances do change but if Apple is, as they claim to be, serious about seamlessly migrating what is still a large and dominant market share of users from Windows, supporting 32 bit versions is not a nice to have, but a must have.
I don't see why users have to make excuses when there is a clear shortfall of what is promised.
In other discussions, there is talk of an opportunity for Apple to make a significant impact, as Windows 8 has deviated so much from the comfort zone of traditional Windows users. But to make that change, Macs have to support what is still a primarily 32 bit environment in the installed base.
As for the use of VMs, I had a tough time migrating out of Parallels 6 after an upgrade to Mountain Lion broke compatibility so IMHO it is not a long term solution unless you are happy to hand out $50 every 2-3 years just to support the same functionality.
Use Virtual Box, it's free.
32 bit may have a reasonable user base but it's going away fast, if you must use 32 bit Windows and won't use a VM your choice is limited.
Buy a PC, or buy an older Mac.
The rest of your post is speculative and I won't go there.

Need Working Drivers for Macbook 2,1 running Windows 8 (64-bit) using Boot Camp 5 (Mountain Lion)

So I found my old Macbook 2,1 on Leopard the other day and decided to make it my dedicated Windows computer. I wanted to run Windows 8 on it, so I figured out I needed Boot Camp 5. Then I realized Boot Camp 5 only runs on Mountain Lion, so I went though the process up updating it (had to use MLPostFactor since it's techincally unsupported on my mac.) After getting it updated to Mountain Lion, I went and used Boot Camp 5 to install Windows 8 64-bit. However, when I try to load any Boot Camp Driver Files (I've tried the drivers for BootCamp 3, 4, and 5) it says it is unsupported on my computer model. I suspect this is because of the fact that Windows 8 shouldn't be on my computer. Without these files, I can't right click, among other things, which is pretty important. Can anyone help me get these drivers loaded?

Unable to boot mac OS X Lion after windows 7 installation using boot camp!

Hi,
I'm first time mac user & recently bought the latest entry level mac mini model 2.3GHz 599$ (http://www.apple.com/macmini/specs.html).
The machine by default came with OS X Lion.
I was trying to install genuine windows 7 on my mac mini using boot camp. I had the windows installation CD the download part for windows support software was taking too long & I foolishly skipped this crucial part set aside 70GB for win7 & continued the installation. The windows installation was done successfully with no machine specific drivers installed yet. I thought I would get some grub like thing to select OS at boot time but everytime it boots to windows. Is it since I missed downloading/installing windows support software? Please help me out to get my mac back
I've not done much of googling to troubleshoot it but bit of nervous for my foolishness at skipping that downloading part.

That was quite dumb question, the RTFM issue
Booted from macintosh HD at startup & removed the windows installation.

Opening windows side by side in windows 8 installed using boot camp installer

I currently have windows 8 installed on my macbook pro (Mountain Lion) using boot camp 4 (updated boot camp drivers on windows 8 to boot camp 5). I wanted to keep skype and wordament app open at the same time side by side, but I was unable to keep the two app windows in this mode (it looks like it allows only one active window. I tried other apps, but none of them worked. I tried the suggestions listed in this link (http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/place-two-windows-side-by-side-in-windows- 8.html), but again this failed. Unfortunately,everything that I tried seems to not work. . So is this issue with my macbook pro or is it that boot camp does not support it. I would really appreciate it if someone could give me a solution or at least explain to me what is causing this issue..Thanks.

Then you are more then likely using the Metro Apps that only allow one program on the screen at a time. You need to switch to the Desktop versions of those programs and then you can resize and move the program windows wherever you like on the screen. Side by side, Top and bottom, one high right the other low left, Whatever.

Can't boot into Windows 7 after using Boot Camp

So I installed Windows 7 on a separate 70GB partition using Boot Camp. Everything seems fine, but once installation finished and the computer restarted for the final time, the computer shows the blinking "_" on the black screen and then promptly reboots and this cycle continues without end.

Sounds stuck at the Windows bootloader. It's not clear why. I would zap PRAM by holding command-option-p-r at the startup chime until you hear a 2nd startup chime. Let it boot back into Mac OS. Insert the Windows 7 install disk and reboot, holding down 'c'.
Read this, in particular the 3rd option below the screen shot To open the System Recovery Options menu using the Windows 7 installation disc or a USB flash drive, or a system repair disc

Install windows 7 32-bit using boot-camp on snow-leopard

I have Snow-Leopard running on my MacBook. I want to install Windows 7 32-bit Professional. I have already purchased copy of Windows from Amazon. I never'ed install Windows on my MacBook till date, so I don't know what to do, and how to install it.
Please share your experiences of installing Windows using Boot-Camp. I need screen-shots or video that can help me with installation.

Windows 7 requires Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard and the Boot Camp 3.1 Update. For complete system requirements information, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1899

Tapping no longer works after installing Windows 7 RC using boot camp.

After installing it i found that tapping to click no longer works in either OS X or Windows. I've checked system preferences and it is still ticked and all other gestures work except double tap and single tap. How do i fix this?

OK, here's what you do. I'm assuming that you've got the partition laid out and your drivers ready:
Insert your Win 7 Upgrade DVD and hold down the C key while restarting the Mac This boots Setup
Run through Setup once, formatting your Boot Camp volume. For this go-around, use a Custom install
You will get to a point where you are asked for your Product Key. Skip this request now!
Install the Boot Camp software
Next, go back to your Win 7 Upgrade DVD and allow the AutoRun. Click Install Now on the window that opens.
You're in Setup again. This time, do an Upgrade. You should be back at your Desktop when this runs through. If asked for the key again, skip it.
Click Start > Computer
Now click System properties
At the bottom of the System Properties window is a link, Change product key. Click this link.
Enter the Upgrade key now while you walk through activation. It should be accepted this time.
We've just tricked Windows into thinking it was upgraded, thereby fulfilling the license requirement. This method works because the installer makes no check as to what specific versions of Vista or 7 the upgrade will qualify on. In this way, it is possible to "clean install" an upgrade copy for about $100 less than a full copy.
