HOWTO: Magic Mouse in Windows XP Pro (redirect)

Follow this link to the thread under Boot Camp
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2230472&tstart=0

If I boot directly from the BootCamp partition, MagicMouse is NOT recognized and no driver seems to be installed. If I run Win7 with VMWare Fusion from the BootCamp partition, MagicMouse runs just fine.
I have installed the BootCamp 3.1 update and a driver for the MagicMouse does not seem to have been installed. I would really like to see a standalone Windows Installer for the MagicMouse driver.
Apple's KB Article: TS3039 does not mention anything about Win7. "When using an Apple Magic Mouse with Microsoft Windows XP or Vista, vertical scrolling and two-finger swiping may not work."

HOWTO: Magic Mouse in Windows XP Pro

This is easiest to do when you have another mouse already working with the system...
1. Install your bluetooth support and service packs for XP
2. Go to Bluetooth devices from your control panel or system tray
3. Connect the Magic Mouse and wait until the machine settles down.
4. Click Add..
5. Check my device is set up and ready to be found
6. Click Next
7. Click the device from the list - it should appear as the address of the mouse (looks like a Mac address)
8. Click Next
9. Don't use a passkey
10. Wait until the bubble appears saying to click here because a device is requesting your attention (or whatever it says)
11. Pass key is 0000
12. Click Next
13. Click Finish
14. Go back to Bluetooth devices
15. Click on the device from the list
16. Click Properties
17. Give the device a reasonable name (like Magic Mouse?)
18. Click Services tab
19. Check drivers for keyboard, mice, etc (HID)
20. Click Ok.
That should be it. This was not the first bluetooth device I added, so you may need additional steps to configure bluetooth to start with, but that it is out of the scope of this guide.
As you have probably read, the left and right mouse buttons work, but the touch features (such as scrolling) do not.
I suppose this should work in a VM system on OSX, if you have drivers to pass thru the machine's bluetooth functionality.
If you have followed this steps and can't get it to work, maybe Windows is too much for you and you should buy a Mac (I haven't tried it on my Air yet, but expect the process to be much easier than this.. but then again, I already love the Air touchpad, why would I spoil it with a mouse?)

Using Magic Mouse under windows 7 (32/64)

Hello Apple;
it is my second issue after i solved the issue of duel OS (OSX & Win7), now every thing went good under win7 except the magic mouse, so when i open the Bluetooth and search the devices the system recognize the Magic mouse, but windows takes so long time connecting to Magic mouse, and finally it is not connected.
so how to solve this problem?

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).
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4079148
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.
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.

How to run Magic Mouse under windows 8

I am trying to use my Magic Mouse under Windows 8... no luck.
before that, I was using the old Apple BT mouse... without any problems.
now windows does not recognizes the mouse.
any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
As mentioned in the link posted by Steve, you can check the setting of Data Execution Prevention.
And according to the following blog, some hardware features that Hyper-V does not utilize and enabling them will prevent Hyper-V from loading. (If your BIOS doesn't have this hardware feature, then igonre this part)

Disable in the BIOS)

If your Windows computer has Bluetooth built in, then you cause your Magic Mouse with the computer, but you won't be able to use any of the multitouch gestures.

Magic Mouse in Windows 7 using Bootcamp

Hello,
Quite new to the Apple scene and generally, I love it BUT, does anyone know why my £60 Magic Mouse needs pairing every time I start Windows 7 and even when I do re-pair it, sometimes the gestures work and sometimes they dont. I have updated Mountain Lion to the latest version on my MacBook Pro 15. I only bought the mouse to get an extra USB slot...
Thanks for any answers

Hi all,
It seems that when you restart in Windows from Mountain Lion, you must switch off the mouse and then switch it back on. Wait a couple of seconds and then just click the mouse and it should start working without having to re-pair. I am happy again!

Magic mouse in windows

i have a MacBook Pro 17" and i am looking for a driver so that i can use my Magic Mouse with at least the scrolling. Is there something out there for me to download. I am using Bootcamp and running Windows XP Pro. some help would be great. or if not the magic mouse then just the track pad on the computer itself?

Magic mouse in windows 7

Nope, I keep reading everywhere about this "magic" drivers CD, but the truth of a matter is, I have done everything that Mac/Bootcamp have promted me to do, prit some kind of uselsess CD/DVD, out of which I couldn't install anything and call it a day.
Wait, wait, wait... That was a very important part of the instillation. That is what contains all the necessary drivers to run your Apple peripherals in BootCamp. I suggest creating a USB version instead of a CD version since that didn't go so well, make sure you install them off the USB flash drive into Windows, them reboot, you should be good to go. Installing Windows updates won't install drivers it'll only install updated security, and patches.

Magic Mouse and Windows 7: Discovered but will not Connect.

Windows 7 (W7) can "Discover" the Magic Mouse (MM) but doesn't seem to be able to connect. Here is asolution.
1. Turn Off your MM.
2. Restart W7
3. Connect a "Wired" USB mouse. (My Track Pad would not Right Click.)
4. Open "Hidden Icons". (In the Right lower corner of your dispaly, in the "Tray" is a small "Triangle" icon. Mouse over this and you will see that this is the "Show Hidden Icons" icon. Click on it.)
5. You should now see a Bluetooth icon. This is the "Bluetooth Devices" icon. Click on it.
6. A Pop Up Menu appears. Click on "Add a device."
7. Turn on your MM.
8. Your MM should appear in the "Select a device to add to this computer." window.
9. It will probably just say "Mouse" or "Bluetooth Mouse" If you have used your MM before on your Mac, it may display your Mac's "Short User Name". This means that W7 has "Discovered" your MM.
10. Right Click on your displayed device.
11. Click on "Add device..."
12. Click on "Properties"
13. Select/Click on the "Services" tab.
14. Tick the "Box" for "Driver for mice, keyboard, etc. (HID)"
15. Click "OK" and exit.
Your MM should now work! Sort of!! Left & Right Click works and Up and Down scrolling works. Right & Left scroll does not.
Also, you will note that your MM becomes "Inactive" after a few seconds of disuse. Just give it a single Left click to get it going again. I've posted a solution to this problem in another post.

Thanks! That fixed my issues with my Apple bluetooth mouse and keyboard in Win7.

Magic Mouse and Windows 7: Wake up a Sleeping Magic Mouse

For those of you who have managed to get your Magic Mouse (MM) working in Windows 7 (W7), you may have noted that the MM becomes unresponsive after a few seconds of not using it. This is a W7 "Feature" and not a "Bug". What is happening is the mouse has cycled into a "Power Saver" mode. You can re-activate the MM by giving it a single "Left Click". If having to do this every time you let the mouse sit idle for a few seconds in annoying to you, here is how to turn this "Feature" off.
1. Click on "Start", (The circular Windows icon in the lower left corner of your display.)
2. Select and open "Control Panel".
3. Select and open "Device Manager".
4. The Device Manager window displays a list of devices installed on your computer. If you can't see the list, click on the "triangle" to the left of the "Bootcamp" volume icon.
5. Double Click on "Bluetooth Radios".
6. Double Click on "Apple Built-in Bluetooth".
7. In the "Apple Built-in Bluetooth Properties" window that opens, Click on the "Power Management" tab.
8. Un-Tick the box that says "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
9. Close everything up. I usually log off and log back in. You might also do a Restart.
10. Done!

Thanks! That fixed my issues with my Apple bluetooth mouse and keyboard in Win7.

How can I use my Magic mouse in a Macbook pro?

I have an iMac and I'm using the magic mouse. I just got a Macbook Pro and would like to use the mouse with this computer too.
How can I make it work in both computers?
I won't use them at the same time of course. I use one during the day, and the other at night so I'm hoping to make the mouse work in both.
Thanks in advance!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
You have been very helpful! I will try that! Thanks!!
PS: One last question, will it work if I put it in "sleep" mode or it has to be shut down?
Thanks again!

Connect Wireless Mighty Mouse to windows xp pro sp2 on bootcamp

I recently installed windows xp pro sp2 on bootcamp i tried to hook up my Wireless Mighty Mouse and I got basically nowhere. I was able to get the computer to recognize it and i typed in the passkey "0000" and it knows that it is a bluetooth device and I changed the settings of the bluetooth to "always" be discoverable and still I have hit a dead end. I can still not seem to connect the wireless mouse in any way. What do I do???

I FUIGURED IT OUT!!! omg im so happy right now. For anyone who might be wondering I'll tell you how to make it work it you had the same problem. Once you establish the mouse a device, highlight it in the devices menu, then click properties, then services, and once it is done searching check the box for the driver and click apply and your mouse should work.
