How uninstall Magic Mouse software? due Wacom installer conflict?

I am quite happy with my Magic Mouse but I am 90% certain it is causing the latest Wacom update installer to fail.
I have three OS partitions on my Mac Pro:
1. Main boot drive: Installed magic mouse....OK, then installed latest Wacom update....failed.
2. Clone of main boot drive: Installed Wacom update...OK, then installed magic mouse...OK, both working.
3. Utilities OS: Installed wacom update....OK, then installed magic mouse....OK, both working.
So any help uninstalling the magic mouse mouse software so I can put the wacom update on, then reinstall magic mouse, would be very welcome.
Thanks

HI Mike,
Try repairing disk permissions and then try the Wacom software install.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
Something I learned years ago with Wacom and Apple mice. Keep the tablet and pen away from the mouse. If I try to use the pen within a foot of the mouse, the entire system freezes. There's definitely a conflict between tablet software and wireless devices. Not sure if that's a help to you or not...
Also, when trying to install the Wacom software, turn the mouse off. See if you can get the Wacom software installed that way.
And if you installed the Magic Mouse update here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL950
Open System Preferences / Software Updates - Installed Software. If that update is listed there, delete it. It might be the culprit easy enough to reinstall.

  • Is magic mouse software update necessary if you have 10.6.8

    2009 iMac; OS 10.6.8
    I just bought a Magic Mouse and successfully paired it. It seems to be working fine and the system pref is visible and configurable. I've read that one should download and install the software update 1.0. Is that so?

    Here are some details on the initial launch of that update.   It includes a link but reading the last paragraph my guess is that after OS 10.6.2, the update was probably incorporated into the OS.

  • Magic mouse software.

    Sorry if this has been posted, but I can't find the answer. I have a Mac Pro with a blue tooth dongle attached. I just bought a magic mouse and it tracks, but the buttons don't work. It says that I have to update to software 1.0 I downloaded the software, but when I went to install it, it says that I have to have 10.6.2 or later. That version isn't out yet. Anyone else have this problem? How do I connect my new mouse? Any help would be appreciated/

    I found this article...

  • Alternative download site for Magic Mouse Software Update?

    I've been trying for the last hour or so and cannot download the "Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0 for Snow Leopard" found here:

    Could you please fill out your profile better for us?
    Just go over to the right, under "Welcome, Used to be k . . .".
    Look at My settings, and then fill them out for us, so
    that in the future, we'll have everything straight for helping you.
    See where you can put in your computer model and OS?
    Click "Save" when you're done filling it out.
    Right now, you're settings are saying 10.4.9, which would have
    required totally different advice.

  • Missing magic mouse software sought- do you know where it could be?

    I purchased a new iMac with 27" inch screen over the weekend at my local Mac store. In the store you could set the mouse so that a tap and doubletap on the mouse surface would work to click and doubleclick the mouse.
    Not so on my mouse! Options to activate tap to click are nowhere to be found under system preferences> mouse!
    Could the Apple demo machines be using third party software? Is my system software install somehow deficient? I have checked for latest updates with software update and talked with Apple Tech Support without success. Using OS 10.6.2. Thanks for ideas...

    Thank you for your comments Barry.
    "Could the Apple demo machines be using third party software?"
    The Apple Store iMac demoed to me by an Apple store employee had third party software. That was not a good idea!- without his identifying that the software being demoed, by all appearances a part of the Mac OS, was not a part of the deal.
    So I will have to buy additional software to enable my new iMac to do what I thought it would be able to do, based on my visit and consequent purchase at the Apple Store. This is not good.
    Apparently the software is called mouse wizard and is found at www.samuco.net
    At least I do not have to take my new iMac in for repairs!
    Best regards, thought you might be interested in my findings,

  • Magic Mouse works in Windows 7 x64... Until Reboot

    So I've tried every troubleshooting solution I could find and after hours of fiddling around, and I finally got the Magic Mouse to work in Win 7 x64 (Boot Camp). However, after rebooting it no longer worked. I have downloaded the drivers listed on Apple's website and did the extract 64 bit version. I am using Boot Camp 3.0, so "Generic Bluetooth" is not listed in the Device Manager... only the correct Apple Bluetooth Radio is listed. The steps I went through to get the Magic Mouse up and running the first time are kind of a blur, but I believe they went something like this:
    1. Uninstalled Magic Mouse and Apple Bluetooth drivers from Device Manager
    2. Let Windows find new hardware and reinstall
    3. Chose to search for Bluetooth devices > Right Clicked Magic Mouse > Checked HID Mouse (or something similar) in Services tab
    4. Windows installed drivers and mouse worked. Magic Mouse was listed as Bluetooth HID instead of Apple Wireless Mouse (which I've seen before)
    Tested this configuration out and everything seemed to be working great. However, I rebooted my system, ensured I didn't have any issues in Mac OS X (which I didn't) then booted back into Windows. At this point, the mouse no longer worked. I noticed in the Device Manager that there were 2x Bluetooth HIDs listed instead of the one I saw earlier. When I displayed the Bluetooth devices, the Magic Mouse was listed with a yellow exclamation point. I attempted to disable each and reboot to see if one was conflicting with the other, but it did not resolve the issue. Anyone know why this is happening or what I can do to get this mouse working?

    Just to update... I can now add the mouse each time I load up Windows. I just need to uninstall any Bluetooth HIDs located in the Device Manager and remove the mouse from the list of bluetooth devices. However, each time I reboot into Windows, the first thing that happens is it install another Bluetooth HID. During the login screen the mouse is unresponsive and when going into the device manager after a reboot there is always two of the same Bluetooth HIDs listed. This seems to be the problem during the startup but how do I stop Windows from installing the same device twice?
    I have also attempted to install the 64bit drivers supplied on the website and the mouse changes from Bluetooth HID to Apple Wireless Mouse. Once it finishes installing, the mouse no longer works. I have to repeat the steps and uninstall the Apple drivers to get it to work again

  • Cant use scroll on magic mouse

    I just bought the mouse and set it up exactly how it said to. The mouse clicks and moves on the screen but the touch features do not work. I have OSX 10.5.8 and i put the magic mouse software update 1.0 on, but it still does not work. The system preferences window also does not show the same options that are on the instructions. Any help Please??

    Note that the update doesn't take affect until after you boot. If you rebooted and it doesn't work, try the update again from here.

  • I know that I am not the first one, but again troubles with the magic mouse

    Perhaps somebody can help me?
    I still have troubles connecting my magic mouse with a Mac Pro (Mac OS 10.6.4). The same mouse works fine with my Macbook (again with 10.6.4). I uninstalled all the additional mouse software that I previously installed (Logitech) and installed the magic mouse software, but it is always only recognized as an Apple wireless mouse, no matter what I do.
    Any ideas what to do?

    The window could be opening off screen.

  • Magic mouse - certain items don't respond to click!

    I've had no problem with my Magic Mouse ever - Model MB829/LLA
    Am running Imac with OS 10.5.8.
    Today I saw a Magic Mouse Software update listed in Software Updates and innocently
    enough I chose to install it.
    Upon restart the Mouse will click and select items, but there is no response to the
    command invoked by that 'click'  - ON CERTAIN ITEMS.  Also it will click on and
    allow drag and scroll down say, a pop up menu, but for example when i click on the
    minimize or close button on a window, it may or may not respond -  The wired mouse
    operates fine doing the same event.  The new "Mouse" preferences pane also gives
    no option - at least that I can see- for choosing which "side" of the front end of the
    mouse, if that makes any sense...-per screenshot.  THe wired old Gateway mouse
    i'm using right now still works normally btw. Any help or idea of what i'm missing here?
    Thus far, not an improvement.  Thanks!
    Mike

    Just adding another weird anomaly going on with it.  If I simply click on the finder window it displays this(screenshot below) dialogue box.
    Now if i select one of the items it will perform the action of opening a new window but...for example, i can't DRAG anything to/from the
    new window it opened...  or click/select certain items in this dialogue box.  There's no response...well it's varying with different commands.
    Very very strange

  • Magic Mouse Scroll Fail

    Hi,
    I have just bought a Magic Mouse, and am trying to install it. My MBP recognizes it, I can move the cursor and have use of the buttons, however I cant scroll. At All.
    When I go into System Preferences>Mouse, I only have two sliders, Tracking Speed & Double Click Speed. When I click on 'Setup Bluetooth Mouse' it just says 'No Mouse Found' while the searching wheel continuously spins.
    Im running Snow Leopard, and my previous Mighty Mouse worked fine until the scrollball called it quits, which is why i bought a new magic mouse, which doesnt scroll.....

    If you are running 10.6 like your profile says, you need the Magic Mouse Software Update for Snow Leopard.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL950
    The link above requires you to have 10.6.1 before installing the update so you might want to just move up to 10.6.2
    You can update your machine to 10.6.2 and change your profile also.

  • No Scrolling on the Magic Mouse 10.5.8

    I have installed my new magic mouse and have 10.5.8. All functions work except for the scroll feature. I ran all software updates but this is not working. The video about the magic mouse leads me to believe that I have to have Snow Leopard. Is this true? When I go to system preferences and click on Mouse, I can only adjust the tracking and clicking speeds, no options for the scroll feature. I'm sure there is an easy solution for this one.......

    This thread should help. Note the link at the top for the Magic Mouse software is incorrect you need to go here

  • Using Aperture with a Magic Mouse

    Is anyone else having issues using a Magic Mouse while editing photos? Somehow I'm accidentally activating the swipe motion which causes me to scroll through my library while editing. I've tried turning off swipe motions, which works in Finder, but Aperture still swipes.

    I too am not enjoying at all how the Magic Mouse functions in Aperture. All too often just touching the mouse to do an aperture specific task, the mouse misinterprets the touch as a go to start scrolling through my large libraries. Then I have to get back to the right image (usually one I am editing) and be extremely careful with how I touch the mouse. This is not only aggravating but also a BIG waste of time -- two things that Apple has always (and should always) avoid. There was no issue with this with my old Mighty Mouse as the "ball" was very unlikely to be triggered accidentally and start the application scrolling through the images. On the other hand, I will most certainly NOT miss the balls propensity to "crud up". Hopefully this new purchase does not involve a Sophie's Choice - constantly cleaning the mouse or constantly having to get back to the image you were working on. Apple should be shooting for the best of both worlds.
    On the other hand the MM is great when I'm working many other applications. I strongly agree with the previous comment that the MM control panel should have an application specific tab. That way I could disable the scroll feature when working in Aperture. Another alternative might be the ability to narrow down the "active" part of the mouse surface to minimize the chances of inadvertently activating the scroll feature.
    I really hope there is a fix for this as I am frustrated enough that the MM is about to head to the drawer and I'll either go back to my Mighty Mouse or more likely a 3rd party traditional interface but blue tooth mouse.
    Cheers

  • Simple directions for setting up a new magic mouse?

    Have the original mouse, which keeps losing its connection.  I am replacing it with a brand new Magic Mouse and have looked all over for directions to connect with with my MAC, discontinue the original mouse, and start using the new one.  I have checked all my updates and downloaded the most current magic mouse software.  A pop up says there is a new version of the download already loaded, but I can't find it. 
    Can someone tell me if I really need a new mouse and can help me correct my connection loss on my orginal mouse or help me, step by step, to connect the new one?  Thank you all.

    Reset the PRAM to see if that helps the old mouse.
    Setting up the new one should be turn it on and it should pair.
