Installing magic mouse

Hello... first time poster. Be nice to me!
Just had a first generation i-pad and went to the apple store today and bought a wireless keyboard and magic mouse. I specifically asked the person helping me at the Apple store if the Keyboard and mouse were compatible with the 1st generation i-pad. I have installed the keypad with no problems but would be grateful for any advice (with any links) of house to install the mouse
Many thanks

The keyboard is compatible with the iPad, the mouse is not (there is no cursor to move so the mouse would only be of use when entering text).

How Can I install Magic Mouse on my IPad 3?

Hi there,
I have just received new iPad with retina display. I want to install Magic Mouse on it, but I can't find anywhere instruction for it. Any suggestions ? Thanks

Other than a stylus, this is the only "mouse" that will work with the iPad.

Unable to wake screen using magic mouse or trackpad after installing magic mouse

Dear Everyone,
I am using mbp 15 inch early 2011 with 2 GHZ intel i7 processor and a 4gb ram. I would like to tell you that i have installed the mac os x lion and quite happy with the improvement. however, there are same changes which i am not sure whether it is that my mac that causeing theproblem or the bug from the lion itself. i am unable to wake my mbp screen using my magic mouse or trackpad after installing lion. i believe that my mbp has not really enter sleep mode as i dont see the sleep indicator at the bottom right corner flickering. i also believe that it is only the screen that goes to sleep while the hard disk is not. Normally a single swing of the magic mouse or a single swipe of the trackpad will normally wake the screen. in order to wake the screen now is only to click on the magic mouse or trackpad. furthermore, scrolliing page using magic mouse also become unusual after installing the lion. does any of u happen to come across these problems as well? Is there any other way to downgrade to snow leopard back? (i ask this in case that this issue really cannot be fixed). Please help me on this issue. Thank you very much for taking your time to read and reply this thread.

First, Lion does not wake on mouse or trackpad movement, only clicks or keyboard presses. This is presumably to avoid waking the computer from display or full sleep accidentally, and is just how Lion works. It's going to take some getting used to, personally, but I've noticed my mac hasn't woken up on it's own. Apparently moving about my apartment moves the mouse enough that Snow Leopard used to wake the iMac. This is not a glitch, and unfortunately, a downgrade is a complicated matter, involving erasing the HD entirely, and restoring from a backup created in Snow Leopard and not used with Lion at all, or manually importing important bits of data, as libraries upgraded by new versions of Mail, iCal, etc will not be compatible with the old versions.
In terms of your mouse scrolling, describe it in a bit more detail; Lion introduces "natural" scrolling, where instead of the mouse wheel moving the "window" over the contents, it moves the contents through the window, like scrolling on an iPhone or iPad. In other words, think of your finger on the mouse as pressing on the page you're looking at and dragging it upward through the field of view. I remember long ago thinking my very first scrolling mouse was backwards, and then adjusting to "down is down, up is up". If this is the behavior you're experiencing, this also is the way Lion works. This, however, can be changed in the mouse or trackpad preference pane in system preferences. Simply deselect "natural" scrolling.
In a more general sense, its usually not a good idea to do a major software upgrade on your primary machine unless you're willing to deal with some zero-day glitches. It sounds like the issues you're having aren't actually glitches, and you should be happy for that, but in the future, you might want to wait a few weeks for other users with more experience with major OS launches to find those bugs and point them out to the community for Apple to fix. In terms of an OS launch, I think this has been absolutely one of the best. I'm seeing very few major glitches resulting in lost data, few things that would really destroy my personal workflows, and compatiblity issues with other products seems to be well documented or negligible. It's also a bit hasty to assume that mere hours after launch Apple would have any ability to fix ACTUAL problems with the OS. My recommendation would be to get used to the change; having to click the mouse at least means you'll never accidentally wake your machine bumping against your desk.

Installing magic mouse on windows 7

I am trying to find a driver to install the magic mouse on my windows 7 laptop

I managed to get my magic mouse on my 64 bit windows 7 installed on a macbookpro
I updated bootcamp to 3.1
clic bluetooth devices icon
add device
switch on your magic mouse
i had the same "freezing" problem with detection when i clic the next button, so don't clic it...
instead right clic your newly discovered mouse
you should have 2 options - add device and properties
clic properties
the properties windows should have a services tab
check the only checkable box "drivers for keyboard, mice, etc...."
(what i did) i clicked apply first and i noticed windows was installing new stuff and then i clicked ok
my mouse works =D
the scrolling up and down IS working but not the left and right
i restarted my computer just to be sure with the mouse still on and it remained operational
i didnt try to fix the left and right scrolling, not really important anyway
enjoy

IMAC won't turn on after installing Magic Mouse

Hello
I Have an intel 2 core duo aluminum. I installed the magic mouse and now I cannot star it. I get the Grey screen, Some time with the apple, some times just the gray screen. When I load the installer disk and run disk utility, the hard drive does not show up. Any Idea on how to fix my problem?
Thank you
Raoul

I'm afraid so. Still. I wonder how it just happened the exact moment I installed the magic Mouse. Thought it could be a compatibility issue
Thanks anyway
Raoul

Unable to install Magic Mouse properly

Like many others before me I cannot get my new Magic Mouse to install correctly. In particular the preference pane is the one for a wireless mouse but not for a magic mouse. I have attempted to remove all of the drivers for my previous logitech mouse (including Steermouse) but to no avail. I've installed the Wireless Mouse Software update although I understand it is not required for 10.6.2. I'm at the point of thinking I wasted my money on the magic mouse and may have to return it to Apple. But before doing that I'd like to see if there is something else I can do.

In case others are suffering the same problem, I discovered that there is a Steermouse Driver for the Magic Mouse (which is still in Beta but it installed so flawlessly that I did not realize it was working until I accidentally invoked scrolling.) Why can a 3rd party developer do this and Apple can't? It will cost a bit more (when the release version is available) in order to get a working mouse but it will be worth it to avoid the aggravation.

Installing Magic Mouse Broke Trackpad

I have a PowerBook G4 and I can no longer use the Trackpad. I'm not exactly sure when this happened but I believe it might be related to getting a Magic Mouse and installing the software from Apple to use the Magic Mouse. Speculation aside, here are the facts:
The Trackpad preference pane is not visible in System Preferences.
The Trackpad preference pane is still there in:
/System/Library/PreferencePanes/Trackpad.prefPane
According to System Profiler, the version of Trackpad.prefPane is 1.7.
When I double click Trackpad.prefPane then System Preferences opens and displays this message:
"You cannot open "Trackpad" preferences pane because it is not available to you at this time. You might need to connect a device to your computer to see this preferences pane."
To be specific about the problem: Moving my finger on the trackpad no longer moves the mouse cursor. Clicking the trackpad button does not cause a click.
I usually use a Bluetooth mouse (like the Magic Mouse) so I didn't notice this for a while.

I have the same problem. Anyone out there who has an idea?

Magic Mouse - no click on whole surface

Hello,
I run SL 10.6.2, installed Magic Mouse update nevertheless, installed MagicMouse. Gestures work fine with one exception: I can click left and right, but only with the click noise as any other mouse.
I thought the whole surface will work for a left click, but it does not, only when I push so that the mechanik mouse click start. When I jut tap on the surface, there is no click at all.
Before this I used BT MightyMouse. But this I disconnected and deleted the preference-file for that as well.
Any ideas?
Am I right, that the click should do by just tapping somewhere on the (left) surface of the mouse?

You can click anywhere on its surface, but you have to press hard enough, so the surface moves down to make a click. The touchpad on Apple laptops works the same way. You have to press enough for the touchpad to move down for it to send a click.
If it sent a click just by touching, you would get accidental clicks when positioning your fingers on it for scrolling, or other gestures.

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.

Magic mouse lost at startup, WiFi dropping

Hello,
since Lion is running nearly each time I wake my iMAC from sleep, the magic mouse is lost and I need to completely reboot.
Yes, I did follow all tipps (delete and install magic mouse new,...). No change.
Additionally the WiFi-connection dropps every few minutes. And most often reconnects when switched off and on again.
And again: yes, I reinstalled the connection totally, no change.
These problems newer occured with SL. So I will not change anything on the router for the WiFi-problem.
I think Apple need to solve these problems asap, because I read about losts of people having the same sincere problems, because it hinders working...
When will there be a solution?

You are welcome. Those resets frequently fix odd problems.

HT1846 I have a windows 7, and i'm trying to make my Mac's Magic Mouse work on my PC... do i need to download this BootCamp? or should i install a driver especially made for Windows 7?

Is there any way that i can have my Magic Mouse to run on my PC (Windows 7)?
i am looking for drivers online, but i don't want to install something that Apple may not approve of. I'm sure if there were such a driver, then Apple would have provided it; unless i have missed something.

when one makes the bootcamp driver disc in bootcamp on osx it builds a cd with apple tested drivers for the hardware for windows

My Apple Magic Mouse is no longer recognized, and I have good batteries installed correctly in the mouse.

Is the green light showing? Is it steady or flickering? You should try re-setting the SMC.

Magic Mouse stumbles after installing SSD in Lion

For general information.
Sunday while spring cleaning my trusty Mac Pro 1.1 2006-2007 running Lion I decided to install Crucial's M500 SSD. It was easy and no issue loading Lion.
Then the Magic Mouse kept staggering and freezing up. Searched here and throughout the internet. I put back the original hard drive with all my setting and it kept lagging.
Just now as I was going to post for help I turned my Mac Pro around from the usual postion I put it in and lo and behold the mouse is working fine again. I loved the Mac Pro closer. Mouse was fine. I turned it around where the front of the Mac Pro is less than 8 inches from the mouse and the symptoms return.
Interesting huh?

Magic Mouse, Trackpad, Bluetooth not working after Mountain Lion install

Is anyone else having the same issue after installing ML? I first noticed that my Magic Mouse didn't scroll as usual when I opened Safari. When I went to preferences, it only gave me tracking & double-click speed options- no scrolling options. I check the Accessibility preferences, but that didn't seem to help either. When I tried my Trackpad to check the preferences, it said that one wasn't connected, even though that's exactly what I used to open it in the first place. Now when I look at the top right hand corner for Bluetooth connectivity- it says Bluetooth- not available in a grayed out font. When I check out the About My Mac and check the Hardware->Bluetooth section it says 'No information found'.
I've tried the SMC/PRAM reset, unclicked "Disable automatic login" option in Security & Privacy preference page. Shut down my iMac and turned off the keyboard, mouce, and trackpad and restarted them after restarting the iMac.
Now I can seem to find anything else to try.
Does anyone have anything else to try?

Hi There,
I am having the same issues - is there a fix for it yet?
