Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Have you set the iMac to Share Internet?
Make sure all of the sharing you will need is turned on in the iMac, file sharing if you want that, etc.

STILL cant get Windows 7 to connect to Magic Mouse

Hello All,
Firstly, pardon my ignorance. I am new to Macs and have been having a rough time adjusting.
My problem is: I have a dual partition (Mac OSX and Windows 7). I am having an unbelievably hard time trying to connect the Magic Mouse in Windows 7. I have tried installing the Mac OSX Bootcamp drivers etc. I have also followed the article that says to boot in OSX first and then unpair-repair your mouse. (Which I am still a bit confused as to how to do)
Anywho, I am not sure what else to do. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have checked Device Manager and the Apple "driver" is definitely present.
Thank you for your suggestions and time

The Magic Mouse is not supported by Windows. If you get it to work, it's functionality will likely be hampered by it's lack of official support and official drivers, etc. Any drivers that are being made available are non-official and likely unsupported.
Note the system requirements from Apple's site on the device:
System Requirements
* Mac computer with Bluetooth wireless technology
* Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0* or Mac OS X v10.6.1 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0
* Existing keyboard and mouse for setup
* Two AA batteries (included)

I cant get iphone 4 to connect with my macbook via bluetooth. IS there a way?

I can connect and pair my ipad to the iphone. I can pair it to the macbook pro - but when i try to connect the 2 the Iphone tells me it is not supported. Is there a way - or is this coming in Lion

No, and not coming in Lion. iPhones don't have the BT profiles for data transfer. The only BT connection possible between the iPhone and a computer is for tethering/hotspot internet connection.
WiFi data connection is far more reliable and faster.

Hi Christina, belated welcome to Apple Discussions if nobody said it already.
I've had some experiences with these new flash memory recording camcorders, and I'll give you a quick rundown of what I've learned. Many of them (JVC, Panasonic, etc.) tend to record in a .MOD file format, which is non-standard, proprietary, and unrecognizable by most software. I thought Canon was usually a little more standards-compliant, but it appears they also use this .MOD format in your specific camera model. There are likely a couple ways we can get around this though!
In order to play the files, you will likely need to change their file format (.MOD) to .AVI manually. You'll have to locate the files on your Mac, and then manually change the file names so that the file extension (after the period) is .AVI
At that point, a video player application such as http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html>VLC should play the files fine!
You should be able to transfer new video files from the camera to the Macbook Pro with no problems as well. Just plug in the camera to the computer via USB, and also make sure the camera is plugged in to charge. Once it's plugged in, open iMovie (came with the MBP, in the Applications folder) and the MBP should take care of the rest.
Let me know if you have any success with any of this!
FYI, the thread that I got some of the above information from is here:

Hello, waynemclno1.
Thank you for the question. Try the steps in the article below to troubleshoot your iPod touch not being recognized in iTunes. I would recommend seeing the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

HT4759 i cant get my iphone to sinc with my husbands Iphone or my laptop???

When using shared calendars, I cant get my iphone to sync with my laptop icloud calendar or the calendar my husband and I use on our Iphones.

If you have multiple calendars on your phone, you might check to be sure you are adding the events on your phone to the shared calendar you are trying to sync with, and not some other calendar such as On My iPhone, From My Mac, a Google, Yahoo or exchange calendar, etc.

How do you get iPhone 5 to connect to iMac through bluetooth?

How do you get iPhone 5 to connect to iMac through bluetooth?
I know the basic steps, but all I get is pairing unsuccessful. I'm using an older bluetooth, would that make a difference? I got connected once with a Motorola bluetooth, but can't reconnect. TIA!

Note that you need to have Personal Hotspot set up with your carrier and on your iPhone before you can connect the computer.

Hi starhalcomb,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPod touch. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on your exact configuration. If you are having issues with your iPod touch not being recognized in iTunes when you connect via USB, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in one of the following articles helpful:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support

HT4260 I have an AirPort Extreme and a linksys router. What is the best way to get 6-8 wired connections with ac speeds?

I have an AirPort Extreme and a linksys router. What is the best way to get 6-8 wired connections with ac speeds?
Appreciate your assistance.

The answer depends on whether the AirPort Extreme is your main router....or...the Linksys device is your main router.
In either case, the two devices must connect together using a wired Ethernet connection using CAT5e or CAT6 cabling.
Any version of the AirPort Extreme produced within the last 5 years will have Gigabit Ethernet ports. In order to get the same speeds from the Linksys router, it will also need to be Gigabit Ethernet capable.
If you need additional Ethernet ports, you will need to add a Gigabit Ethernet switch to either the AirPort Extreme or Linksys router.
It is assumed that your other devices connecting to the AirPort Extreme and Linksys router will also have Gigabit Ethernet capability.
Not sure why you mention "ac" speeds in your post. This relates to wireless connections, not wired.

Sorry, but what is a Kensington K9294? I can find no mention of that product ID on the web, not even on Kensington's site. Do you mean the K39294, the KeyFolio keyboard/case?
