Does Magic Mouse still eject CDs at Startup when holding down?

Now that the mouse that comes with the new iMac 21.5 and 27" are wireless Magic Mouse, will they still force eject a CD at startup if you hold the mouse button down at startup time? I always thought that is why Apple still sent wired mice and keyboards with new iMacs but it appears now at least the mice shipped are wireless while the keyboard remains a wired one if you get the extended keyboard.
Just curious if wireless magic mouse will eject a cd at startup.

Even before the current iMac, you could order your iMac with only a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard, as extra cost options; then you would not have received a wired mouse or keyboard with the new iMac.
The startup key presses should work, as long as that wireless keyboard has already been paired with the iMac. They come paired from the factory. I've not specifically read that the mouse button press works too, but I'd guess that it does, since the keyboard startup keys do work.
(I guess someone who has a new iMac with Magic Mouse can give it a try... )
If it does not, you can start up with the Option key held down to get Startup Manager. At that screen, press the Eject key on the keyboard.

  • Does Magic Mouse sleep when Mac sleeps?

    Just out of curiosity, when I put my iMac to sleep, does the Magic Mouse sleep, too? Or is the Magic Mouse still "on"?

    Hello c:
    Apple Bluetooth devices go into a very low power mode after a brief period of non-use. The devices are still on, but not using much battery power.

  • Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK

    Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK with plug-in keyboard and mouse

    Hi, Derek -
    ...the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink.
    Sounds like Spaces is being activated somehow. With the wired keyboard and mouse in use, select the Exposé & Spaces control pane in System Preferences, click the choice in that pane for Spaces. See what the settings are. There are some activation settings in that pane - by default, F8 activates it.
    It could be that the bluetooth keyboard has some stuck keys and is activating Spaces; or that the activation command has somehow been reset to something that the bluetooth mouse, or bluetooth itself, is triggering.

  • Does Magic Mouse work with ipad air?

    Does Magic Mouse work with IPad Air?

    Yes, it is a Bluetooth device. However, my iPad will not connect to the mouse.  Not sure why.
    I use my iPad as my personal computer. Mainly for surfing the web, social media, paying bills online... I already have a Bluetooth keyboard that connects to the iPad, so thought it would be nice to have a mouse.

  • Netinstall images not showing up when holding down option key at startup

    Hi,
    I have setup two Netinstall images on my 10.5.5 server. On the clients I can see the two images via the 'Startup Disk' tab in System Preferences. But the images are not showing up when holding down the option key at startup. As I am getting ready to deploy to two labs of new iMacs, I would like to be able to get the Option key at Startup method to work as per the documentation.
    Any ideas why these images are not showing up as they should?

    I am having this problem on a 10.5.5 NetBoot server too. I can NetBoot clients by selecting a network volume in System Preferences > Startup Disk, but I can not see the network volumes when option-booting. I am having problems NetBooting while holding down the N-key too. The funny thing is that it works on new Intel iMacs, but not on Mac Pro1.1 (even with the latest firmware updates). NetBooting the Mac Pro works fine when selecting a NetBoot volume in System Preferences > Startup Disk.
    Does anybody have a solution? Is this a problem with Leopard Server 10.5.5?
    I am running DeployStudio Server v1.0rc9, and the NetInstall set is made with DeployStudio Assistant.
    Everything looks right with my bootpd.plist and log file.

  • While playing a game my iphone went completely frozen, it does not respond to any input, not even to holding down the on/off hey. Any ideas?

    While playing a game my iphone went completely frozen, it does not respond to any input, not even to holding down the on/off hey. Any ideas?

    Try a reset. That is holding the sleep/wake and home button together until you see the Apple logo and release. That will reset the iPhone, but will not affect your data.
    Thanks! It worked just fine!

  • Why does Magic Mouse use much more battery power than the keyboard?

    I have the Bluetooth versions of the keyboard and the Magic Mouse. I use the same rechargeable batteries in each. Yet the mouse has now come to the end of a THIRD set of AAs, while the keyboard still has 60% of its first set.
    Why? They are both constantly in use, so why does the Mouse drain batteries so much faster than the keyboard? Viz: the mouse about once a week (two, max), while at this rate, it will be another month or more before the keyboard drains.

    Actually I don't! I consider myself a 'power user' in that I will always use the keyboard first, and I learn keyboard shortcuts for nearly everything I do regularly.
    I would guess my use is 50:50 at worst?

  • Magic Mouse still not connecting on Bootcamp 3.1 with Windows 7

    I had windows 7 ultimate x64 running on Bootcamp the last few months and was thrilled to see that the last update would work with my shiny new magic mouse.
    To my disappointment it didn't. I tried reinstalling the update (x64 version of it) a few times, and manually deleting the drivers related to bluetooth and mouse from the control panel so it would make a clean reinstall, but without any luck... I followed every instruction, rebooted a zillion times and still nothing.
    It detects the mouse on bluetooth devices, it even knows it's mine (has my name on it), but keeps on trying to connect forever...
    Anybody has this problem?

    All,
    Here's how I got it to work:
    Go to Device Manager > Bluetooth Radios > Generic Bluetooth Adapter
    Right click > Update Driver Software > "Browse my computer for driver software" > "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
    Uncheck "Show compatible hardware"
    Under Manufacturer select > "Apple Inc."
    Select the "Apple Built-in BluetootDFU" and click "Next" a bunch of times.
    Then, go to the Bluetooth Icon in the system tray or in the control panel. Turn off the Magic Mouse before you try to discover the device. It should do it's thing automagically and come right up after you turn the Magic Mouse back on.
    At least these are the steps that worked for me.
    The problem I'm seeing is that the mouse stops responding if you're not constantly moving it. I'm going to try the different Bluetooth adapters from "Apple Inc." to see which one works best.

  • Why does magic mouse keep disconnecting?

    I've got an Apple Magic Mouse  that is less than one year old and it keeps disconnecting from my Mac Mini.  It just started doing it.  I've put in fresh batteries and restarted the computer.   I've got all the latest operating system software.   Nothing is out of date.   Every couple of minutes it just randomlly disconnects then reconnects and so on, over and over again.  It's only about 2 feet away from my Mac Mini.
    Anybody know what to do?
    Thanks.
    David

    I thank you for your help, Ascendi, but I have no idea what you're saying.  I'm guessing I stand alone, because others do understand.  What I got from it was that the batteries don't fit snuggly, and to shove aluminum foil... somewhere.  I'm don't have a PhD in battery terminal dimensions and their terminonolgy.  But I do appreciate that you helped.
    David / Flashkube2... EXACTLY!  After years and years with my wonderful white Magic Mouse, just today the exact same thing started happening, only I was losing connection every 20 seconds.  Half the time, I'd get it back.  I feared it was a Bluetooth error, or a hacker was "stealing my juice"  So I got online here, read this stuff, wiggled my batteries around (for years and years, I've only used Duracel), and for the last 10 minutes, I have kept connection with Mr. Mouse and Mr. Mac.  Keep your fingers crossed!
    So if this problem arises again, I just stuff aluminum foil in there?  (I'll be a wee bit neater than "stuff").  Speak "positive terminal" and "negative terminal" and "top of the batteries" to me, because "depth of the recess" and "vernier caliper" are Chinese to me.  Does "battery recess" mean how the two batteries sit in its casing?
    Maybe I just didn't have enough coffee this morning.  I'm not ususally shtooo-pid.  (don't go there!)

  • Why does Magic Mouse lag with new Mac Pro?

    My magic mouse worked great on the old G5. Works fine an mini mac. Unusable on the brand new mac pro.
    I have a $10 laptop mouse from an old pc that is wireless through a tiny usb connector that works 1000 times better.
    Why?
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    I have three MM. One just does not work well. The other two are fine with the 2013 Mac Pro. Sometimes you have to clean the optical lens and sometimes they just don't work on any machine.

  • Does magic mouse track pad functions work with OSX10.5.8?

    Does the Magic Mouse track pad function work with OSX 10.5.8? Or do I need updated software to use all of the functions?

    The Magic Mouse system requirements:
    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
    The Magic Trackpad requires 10.6.4 or later.

  • Why does magic mouse not work with duracel batteries

    I bought an iMac a few months ago.
    Now the batteries from the magic mouse are empty and I had to buy new ones.
    Only they don't work. I had to pick cheap batteries from others devices.
    Can anyone tell me which brand wil work?
    Thanks,
    Bernadette

    I bought my iMac 2 years ago, it came with a Magic Mouse, within several months I started having the same battery issues. I looked here, and on the Internet to find out if the problem was already known about, but found only people guessing wrongly at what the problem is. I do hope Apple has fixed this, but unfortunately many of got stuck with a junk Magic Mouse. As an Engineer with 25+ years of experience in the design of electrical contacts & connectors which includes over 2 dozen patents ... believe me when I say the problem here is that the recessed positive contacts (at the on/off switch end) are too deeply recessed to make contact with the industry allowed variation in AA batteries. Those contacts are too deeply recessed because the plastic is too thick (in the hole that forms the recess) and the metal contacts are not tightly up against the backside of that plastic wall, in fact it looks like they are installed with a gap and/or can deform/bend away further opening that gap even larger. As mentioned above many industry AA battery standards define the positive button contact height as being 1.0mm or larger ... however that plastic wall is about 1mm thick, add the gap for the metal contacts and you have no electrical contact no matter how much contact spring force there is at the negative end. Unfortunately, there is no simple good fix for the average person to perform, the recessed contacts can't be accessed to bend them to remove that gap and the pastic is too thick anyway .. leaving us with a "duct tape" fix, like wadding some tin foil into that positive terminal recess and swearing when it falls out during battery changes. A nice elegent fix, would involve disassembling the mouse, machining plastic, backing up those terminals... absurd right?... would be easier if Apple sent us a new mouse that works.
    This problem has nothing to do with overall battery length, battery diameter, or inadequate spring contact force from the negative mouse contacts. Also I doubt the brand or type of battery is the issue for anyone, the positive button heights vary among brands/types, but probably are 1.0mm or larger per the industry specs, Apple just didn't design this mouse to that industry spec, or they did not control their manufacturing quality to yield what they designed. This iMac was my FIRST Apple purchase after decades of avoiding and dismissing Apple, ironically they won me over with their progress and high quality products ... I'm rather disappointed.

  • Why does magic mouse quits working constantly?

    I have two Magic Mouse(s) and both worked fine from day one - early last year, and both now act up constantly with the same symptoms. I am among those who believe it has something to do with Lion. When I boot up, they don't get recognized and when I go to Mouse and search for bluetooth devices - sometimes they are found and most of the time they are not. I can reboot and sometimes get the mouse but often do not.
    I know about adding the paper to help cushion the batteries, hasn't helped. I have the Advanced setting to wake computer with mouse - doesn't help. I saw some reference to booting with a control option and deleting some setting but can't find out exactly what that is all about. Love using this mouse, especially swiping, and want to make it work.
    Right now I have one of those huge "ergonomic" bricks in my palm and can't stand it! Please let there be an answer.
    Thanks

    I think I have solved my own problem. My wife's Mac is just on the other side of the wall in the adjacent room. She came in to my room to tell me her cursor was moving all over the screen without her control. Guess what? My mouse was paired to her computer and while I was moving mine around to see if it would work, it was moving around on her screen! Not sure exactly how that happened but I went in and removed the mouse from her's and now my computer pairs with it as it is supposed to. Case closed for now.

  • Why does Magic Mouse sleep in Bootcamp?

    After several seconds it will act as if it has gone to sleep.  A left click wakes it back up but it's such a nuisance that I may have to go back to my previous wired Apple mouse.

    I could not get Bluetooth to connect correctly by letting Windows do the pairing automatically but had to assign four zeros as my code.  I've had to do that on otter stubborn Bluetooth and Windows connections.  Four zeros is a common set to get it done.
    This report is on a Windows 7 Professional BootCamp.  When I go back and forth between partitions both the Mac and Windows recognize the Magic Mouse.  However the sleep condition on the Windows partition is driving me crazy.  I may have to give it up ad go back to my past mouse.  It kills productivity having to fight it every time you stop mouse activity for just a few seconds then have the left click to wake the mouse.  gggrrrr
