How do I uninstall the Magic Mouse driver or downgrade it?

I am using the magic mouse.
However, I want to use one button bluetooth mouse instead of magic mouse.
That old mouse isn't paired with macbook pro.
I think the driver should be downgraded for old one.
How do I uninstall the driver for magic mouse and reinstall it for the old one?

Hello sure:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I do not think you need (or want) to play with the drivers.
Go to system preferences>bluetooth. Disconnect the device (highlight it and use the little gear. Delete it with the minus sign.
Now add the mouse you want into your system (gear and +).

How do you hold the Magic Mouse?

I've had my Magic Mouse for about a month now and the one thing that's really got me on the verge of swapping it out is how I inadvertently move the canvas when I'm working with Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. With standard mice you don't really have to care about the state of your index finger after you click or how it may slightly touch the surface as you move the mouse around, but with the MM it's something to be conscious of. When I stop to inspect the mechanics of how I use a mouse, it's amazing how often my index finger inadvertently bounces back and forth from the surface. When I'm lifting up, setting back down, considering a click, scrolling, etc. I'm gonna try to consciously keep my index finger down when I'm moving the mouse around in hopes that it'll stop this unwanted result.
So how do you hold the Magic Mouse? Is your index finger always down when you move it around?

Good question. Seems i use the middle finger for everything except for when I need to swap desktops or do other stuff with mission control.

How to uninstall the magic mouse progam ?

Hello , happy new year !
I got just a little question, i am on leopard and after a test of the magic mouse i would like to remove the magic mouse program, do you know what files i have to removed and where ? thanks!
Cause now i got big trouble with my logitech mouse !!! help lol

Check /Library/Receipts/boms/ for the one associated with the magic mouse and run this command in the Terminal.app:
*lsbom <path to bom file>*
Easiest way to get the path is to type in lsbom followed by a space followed by dragging the bom file into the Terminal window. Hit the return key and you'll get a listing of every installed file and its location.

How Do You Rename the Magic Mouse's Actual Name (Not the Display Name)

Hi. The Magic Mouse's display name is Servant777 but it's actual name is really something like mouse no. 1 which I take was from the store that first paired the mouse to test it ( I usually have it tested first after buying things, not all the time but sometimes, can't remember, it was 3 years ago).
How do you kind of "reset" the Magic Mouse like it's the first time it's being used and paired. I've tried: disconnecting and removing it from the bluetooth preference as well the on in the Mouse settings. It'd be nice if there's some kind of reset but it doesn't change the actual name, only the disply name could be changed. Is there any Terminal command for this?
Thank you in advance. Have a great upcoming sunday mass/great weekend.
God bless,
Alvin

How can I make the magic mouse screen ARROW bigger?

I need to enlarge the screen ARROW from the magic mouse - it is way too small for me to find it! Is this possible?

Yes it is possible. Go into settings>accessibility>display> then adjust the cursor size slider.

How do I use the magic mouse with a windows pc

Is it possible to enable touch features of the magic when using it with a PC running windows 7?

Hi.
I've used the iMic myself, and I don't believe it is capable of doing what you are attmepting.
The iMic is designed to provide a USB input for an external microphone, and USB output for external speakers for your Mac. It has a mic input port, and a speakers out port.
Neither port is specified for use with a gaming headset (mic with headset on a single plug).
You will need to look elsewhere for a USB gaming headset.
I hope this is helpful.

Hello
Simple problem - don,t know how to solve it.
With Premiere CC when I try to do a selection (click... drag... release the click) very often it stop way before the end of the move I'm swinging the Magic Mouse. I taught that the mouse clicking was defective and went to get a new Magic Mouse after lots of frustration. Today, I have an edit to do it it does the SAME thing !!
I was like ????#$%?&*(???
Opened all the lights and taught I've trow the new mouse to the garbage and was using the defective mouse again... no !! - ??
Actually, the bran new mouse is doing the same thing. What I understand after investigating on the motion and watching carefully my fingers !! - is that when I click I have to keep my finger at the EXACT same place on the mouse... drag and release and it's fine. If I click by pushing on the mouse and my finder is moving of a 1/32th of a millimeter, it will release and my selection will be to redo. You can understand my frustration ! - 75$ later... same problem, but I know that if I click with about 5 pounds of pressure and trying to pass my finger through the plastic of the mouse, it you stay steady and make it !
The problem is that scrolling is enable while clicking and it bugs.
How to disable it ??
Simple question - can't find the answer !

Helllooo !?
sorry but the Magic Mouse is just useless with the new Adobe Premiere CC and since I'm not the only one but can't find answer this is really disappointing. This mouse is just fantastic and now I have to swap from a USB mouse to the Magic Mouse every times I do some editing. My USB mouse if hurting my hand somehow and I want to got back to the Magic Mouse asap. Please - for sure there is a simple solution !
Thanks !!

How to Sleep an IMac using the Magic Mouse

I received a Magic Mouse as a Christmas present. It works really nice but I
must be doing something wrong as it is battery hog. It is just the middle
of January (less than a month of use) and the 2nd set of batteries are now
down to 40%. I noticed it starts getting a little flakey at 30% so I may have
to replace the 2nd set soon. Yes they were good when installed as it read
100%.
I have not figured out how to Sleep the iMac and turn off the bluetooth
Magic Mouse. If I put the iMac to sleep with the Mouse, it wakes when I
slide the Magic Mouse power switch to OFF. I must be doing something
wrong.
Again, I like the Magic Mouse but really likes it suck down batteries.

Same problem here. Batteries last about 10 days. Checked each with a digital multimeter. One battery was drained, the other was perfect.
I replaced the dead battery and marked the other one I left in. One week later, the new battery was dead. The marked battery was fine. The mouse is defective, it is only using the power on one side. Time for a return to the Apple Store. I hope it will be a quick swap.

How do I uninstall the wrong driver

I have the MacBook Pro and am using OS X10.9 Because I am in an RV Park with a weak wifi signal, I installed the driver for an ALFA Network antenna booster (model AWUS036NH) BUT I goofed and installed the 10.8 driver instead of the 10.9 driver. How do I uninstall the 10.8?

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to reboot in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, the uninstallation may have no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

I am an 86 year old family historian/ genealogist and a 30 or more year Mac User.
I am becoming increasingly limited by Rheumatoid Arthritis and am no longer able to use the Magic Mouse or the Scroll Mouse with ease. Fingers are curled/crippled to a varying degree of significance. The contextual menu is a headache for me. I am better able to use what I call a "plain jane Logitech" Mouse. I am familiar with the dictate function and need to learn more about its use specifically indexing with spread sheet type applications.
All suggestions appreciated.

How best to clean the bottom of the magic mouse?

The two black strips on the bottom of the magic mouse collect a lot of schmutz that I have to scrape off with a fingernail once or twice a day. My desk is not that dirty, I swear! Is there anything I can do to prevent this endless dirtying/cleaning cycle?

Is anybody else struggling with an intermittent connection when using the Magic Mouse/Trackpad ONLY on Boot Camp?

Hi,
I've seen thousands of posts about Bluetooth connection issues and interference and stutter/lag for both the Magic Mouse and Trackpad (affecting both Mac OS X and Windows under Boot Camp) but my problem is different.
To summarise my setup, I use:
- Retina MacBook Pro (lid closed or open, doesn't make a difference to this problem)
- Thunderbolt Display
- Wireless Keyboard
- Magic Trackpad (have also tried a Magic Mouse and experience similar issues to the Trackpad)
And in Mac OS X, everything works perfectly. The keyboard and trackpad work smoothly when I'm 6-7 metres from the machine, whether or not the laptop lid is open or closed, and whether or not the Thunderbold Display is connected.
But on to my problem: the bluetooth connection is incredibly unreliable/intermittent when in Windows (I run Windows 7 64-bit and Boot Camp 4.0, and got both devices connected without any trouble via Bluetooth).
But during usage, the cursor stutters/lags frequently, and tap to click (when enabled) seems to get triggered by mistake all the time (even when I'm not touching the Trackpad or even at the computer, clicks get registered).
The Wireless Keyboard is perfect, and works well 5 metres from the machine. The Mouse and Trackpad, though, don't even work reliably when they are 6 inches from the machine. The built-in trackpad on the laptop works perfectly too, in Windows and Mac.
I spent a week assuming I was suffering from Bluetooth interference, so I tried:
- using the laptop with the lid open
- removing the Thunderbolt display completely and trying the Magic Trackpad
- repositioning items on my desk
- disabling wifi
All of these adjustments made minor differences to how good/bad the Trackpad was, but none came close to fixing the problem or making it work as smoothly as under Mac OS X. It was only after doing all of this that I realised perhaps it was just a Apple driver for Windows issue, so I booted into Mac OS X and tested everything out, and sure enough, it's all perfect. But back into Windows, the Trackpad doesn't work reliably at all.
Obviously, the hardware is not at fault, and I assume the signal strength doesn't vary between operating system (why would it?) so I'm left believing this must be a driver issue. The TrackPad and Magic Mouse drivers have been out for a couple of years, so I'm surprised they can still be this bad. I tried both the latest driver from Boot Camp 4.0 (3.2.0.0) for the Trackpad, and also the older one from Boot Camp 3.2 (3.1.0.7) and both are equally bad for me.
So my question is: has anybody else struggled with using the Trackpad (or Magic Mouse) with Boot Camp 4.0 and Windows 7 64-bit, whilst finding it to be perfect under Mac OS? I haven't found many posts complaining about the Windows driver, which is why I assumed it was an interference issue. But I'm almost sure it isn't, having spent 2 weeks investigating.
Any thoughts/suggestions/answers much appreciated!
Kyle

SOLVED!
After much testing, I have found the cause of lagging/jumpiness on the Bluetooth Magic Mouse and Magic TrackPad in Boot Camp. Hopefully this will help others:
The drivers for the Broadcom 802.11n Wireless Adapter have a setting called "Bluetooth Collaboration" that is Disabled by default. Enabling this option removes the problem instantly. My Magic Trackpad now works flawlessly, even if I stand 6 metres from the machine. It now works just as well as under Mac OS. The setting can be found under:
Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter (right click and choose "Properties". Under the "Advanced" tab, highlight the setting named "Bluetooth Collaboration", then change it to Enable. Then click OK.
I narrowed the problem down to the wireless card by disabling ALL startup services and processes for Windows, then re-enabling one by one. As soon as I enabled the Windows Wireless Service, the problem came back. Similarly, disabling the Wireless Card inside the Network and Sharing Center (or Device Manager) removes the problem. This led me to believe it must be a driver issue with the wireless card, since the problem didn't occur with the Magic TrackPad under Mac OS, or on my mother's Windows 7 64-bit computer. So when I went into the Driver Properties to check for an update, I found this setting about Bluetooth Collaboration.
I really hope this helps others trying to use Bluetooth devices under Boot Camp. All Apple notebooks use the Broadcom card (and have done for years), so this driver is installed for almost anybody using Boot Camp on an Apple notebook. I'd assume this problem would affect anybody using Boot Camp + wifi + a Bluetooth device.
Cheers

Is it possible to disable the magic mouse scrolling in windows 7?

I've partitioned my hard drive with bootcamp to run windows 7 for a handful of games that aren't mac friendly. The problem is that once I installed the drivers to use the magic mouse, the scroll keeps jumping around at inconvenient times while I'm playing which makes it pretty difficult. How can I turn the scrolling off? I like having the scroll on the trackpad, but I only want the left and right click on the mouse.

I use MagicMouse on iMac with Windows 7 running (installed through BootCamp). Got sick of annoying horizontal scrolling. The solution described above has helped me to disable it. Here is what I've done in steps:
1) go to http://www.autohotkey.com/ and download an app (a script editor).
2) Install and run the program - please note that it will not open as it runs in the background
3) Rightclick on the desktop -> choose "New" -> "AutoHotkey Script" (a new script file will be created on the desktop) -> name it as you wish (e.g. "Mouse_HScroll")
4) Rightclick on the file you've just created and choose "Edit Script" from the menu.
5) Add these three lines below existing text in the file:
WheelLeft::return
WheelRight::return
#MaxHotkeysPerInterval 5000
6) Save file
7) Run "Convert .ahk to .exe" program from the package installed earlier and browse the file you've just created, hit ">Convert<" -> .exe file should be created. Run this file -> the scrolling should be disabled now.
7) You may wish to move this file to Start/"Autorun" folder, so it would be launched automatically each time you reboot your Mac/PC.
Hope this helps! Good Luck
