Is apple's magic mouse compatible with windows that has Bluetooth?

Is apple's magic mouse compatible with windows that has Bluetooth?

I asked a similar question a few hours back and no answers yet. I think nobody knows since nobody has had the chance to test them. If previous releases are any indication, you'll probably get basic functionality because it is bluetooth, but for the advanced features or setting options you'll have to wait for a Windows driver, which can sometimes take a few months or more.

  • Is the magic mouse compatible with my 2006 iMac?

    I've had this iMac since 2006 (17" 1.83 intel core 2 duo) and just upgraded the OS to Snow Leopard. I got a Magic Mouse as a gift, but can't figure out how to enable it. I don't see a Bluetooth symbol on my toolbar, there's no Bluetooth icon in my system preferences, nor is there an option in my mouse settings. I tried searching "bluetooth" in finder and only found "bluetooth file exchange" in my utilities; in the system profiler, under hardware the listing bluetooth says "no information found."
    So I'm wondering, is my computer even bluetooth compatible? If it isn't, can I make it? If it is, how do I get this mouse to work?
    Thanks in advance ^_^

    Hi again Teresa:
    The "green nickels" is my puckish humor in action. I also wanted to indicate that while it does no harm, resetting the SMC is not going to make a non-existant Bluetooth module appear.
    Is there a way to use the AirPort function to detect the mouse? (some one mentioned this "AirPort" thing, so i connected it to a network and i have a nice little icon on my toolbar, but no mouse recognition).
    Nope. The Airport module allows wireless connectivity but it is not Bluetooth.

    This is an old article, so proceed carefully if you decide to buy a "dongle."

    I can rationalize most things and I would probably buy a new iMac (which would, in your case, make your gift mouse rather expensive)

    EDIT: I reread your profile (sloppy me) and I somehow decided before that your computer was older than it is. I think all Intel-based iMacs came with a built-in BT module. What is completely puzzling to me is that it does not show in system profiler or have a panel in system preferences. If you are anywhere near an Apple store, you might make an appointment with a "genius" and discuss it further. If you feel strong, you could take the computer with you. Be sure to take system documentation if you do not take the computer.

  • Is the Apple Wireless Keyboard fully compatible with Windows 7 in Boot Camp?

    If you have an iMac running Snow Leopard and Windows 7, will the Apple Wireless Keyboard work properly in Windows 7 (via Boot Camp)?
    I'm asking because a friend of mine has an Apple Wired Keyboard that they want to get rid of, and upgrade to an Apple Wireless Keyboard. However, their concern is that the Apple Wireless Keyboard won't work properly (or reliably) when they run Windows 7 on their iMac.

    I'm using an Apple Wireless Keyboard running Boot Camp and Windows 7 64 bit right now typing this.   Seems to run just fine under Windows 7 for me.  Some of the familiar Windows keyboard keys are not present, of course, though there are key mappings to get to those too.  I actually like this keyboard a lot, under Windows 7 or OS X.

  • Is CS5 Web Premium compatible with Windows 7 64 bit?

    I just placed an order for CS5 Web Premium. I just assumed that if a software states compatible with windows, that is sufficient. I bought a license for Quikbooks books Accounting Software and just read in the very fine print not compatible with 64 bit OS! I am worried if CS5 is also not compatible. Please some one reply before I decide to pay in full for the product in two days time!

    Thank you very much!

    Hello Bob,
    I tried to install quickbooks 2009/10 accounting on my pc and an error message 1603 appear something to do with microsoft net. framework. I am awaiting reply from the quickbooks support team.
    To my horror checking forums on this issue, I am not the only one with complaints about Quickbooks 2009/10 incompatibility with Win 7 64 bit and apparently poor customer support. I sincerely hope this is not true. I am worried my first investment as a small business owner is already a waste of cash. : (

  • Will the Apple Magic Mouse work with my Mac Mini?

    Hi
    I have a mid 2007 Mac mini — the Model 2,1 — running Mac OS X Snow Leopard, 10•6•8
    I’m thinking of treating myself to the Apple Magic Mouse, or Trackpad.
    Will the Magic Mouse, work with this model and version of the OS … ?
    (I’m ALSO told I need to have Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0: how do I go about checking that I do … ?)

    I'm not sure about the 2007 mini, but a quick check is to open your system preferences and look for Bluetooth preferences.  If there aren't any, then no magic mouse for you...

  • Will the wired Apple Mighty Mouse work with Windows Vista SP1?

    The above question. Will I have to download any extra drivers? Is the MM really that bad? Thanks.

    *" Will the wired Apple Mighty Mouse work with Windows Vista SP1?"*
    Officially...No: http://www.apple.com/mightymouse/specs.html
    In reality... probably. Why would you want it anyway? There are many many better mice out there.

  • Is wireless keyboard A1016 compatible with Windows 7?

    Does anyone know if the apple wireless keyboard model A1016 is compatible with WIndows 7? I installed Windows 7 on my late-2006 imac. The bluetooth add a device feature finds the keyboard, but it doesn't add it. The blue circle of death just keeps on spinning like it is contemplating adding the device, but it never does, no matter how long I let it go. I was able to add the mouse pretty easily.

    I am getting the blue circle of configuring device (the Apple Wireless (Bluetooth) A1016 keyboard)on my Mac-Mini after installing Windows 7 Ultimate and Boot Camp. Funny thing, it worked before running Boot Camp driver install from the Snow Leopard OS X install disc. On my previous install of Windows 7 beta, I made the note not to install Boot Camp...

  • "Compatible with windows applications"

    Yesterday I got an email AppleStore eNews which said
    You already have a perfectly healthy PC, not to mention lots of important Microsoft Office files. But you also know all about Apple's innovative design and ease-of-use features. And perhaps you've heard of all the incredible things you can do with photos, movies and music by using Apple's iLife '05 creativity suite. So what do you do? Check out the compact, affordable Mac mini. It's compatible with Windows applications and even works with your existing monitor, USB keyboard and mouse. Best of all, it comes preinstalled with iLife '05 and Mac OS X v10.4 'Tiger', the world's most advanced operating system.
    What do they mean by
    It's compatible with Windows applications
    If anyone can cast some light on this I'd be grateful.
    Stuart

    John,
    I have 1GB of RAM on my Mac MIni 1.4Ghz. I don't have any problems whatsoever running VPC with Windows XP Pro.
    As for needing 2GB of RAM, your salesman is misleading you. In VPC you cannot allocate any more than 512MB of RAM for running Windows.
    I've used this version of VPC on my brother's Mac G5 Dual 2.0Ghz with 1GB RAM. On both his G5 and my Mac Mini you cannot allocate more than 512MB RAM to VPC.
    Also, on both machines, VPC runs as a 686 processor running at 663Mhz. I had previously believed that the speed at which VPC ran was determined by the processor and allocated memory of the host Macintosh. This is completely false. Even so, compared to the legacy AMD Athlon-powered Windows laptop that I had previously been using, VPC on the Mac Mini offers surprisingly similar performance.
    Moreover, in my experience of using VPC on both my brother's G5 and my Mac Mini, somehow, my perception is that VPC is more 'fluid' in operation on my Mac Mini. Therefore, I don't think you will have any issues in running VPC on your intended PowerBook purchase.
    One last point, Virtual PC is much better in its performance than when I ran SoftWindows on my previous Macintosh 8200.

  • Is my HP wired mouse compatible with Mac mini?

    Hi.
    I am planning to have a Mac mini. I wanted to know if my 2009 HP wired mouse (Wired) USB 2.0 is compatible with the new Mac mini that supports USB 3.0. I just want to know before I purchase the Mac mini.

    USB3 will support USB2 devices much more easily than the other way around. Personally, I'd use more tham compatibility with a mouse I laready have to base a computer buying decision on, but I'm not everyone.
    I have a Microsoft mouse that works when I need a wired mouse, but I primarily use the Apple Magic Mouse.
    1. It's Bluetooth so it doesn't tie up a USB port (wired or with a receiver).
    2. It's much more "user friendly" once you learn all it can do.
    3. I prefer the ergonomics of it.

  • So apparently Itunes is not compatible with Windows 8.  Are you planning on fixing this problem any time in the near future?

    So apparently Itunes is not compatible with Windows 8.  Are you planning on fixing this problem anytime in the near guture?

    Hey kriscro2,
    Thanks for the question. iTunes 11.1.4 is compatible with Windows 8, as outlined on the System Requirements page:
    Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now

  • Is photostream compatible with windows 8?

    Is photostream compatible with windows 8?  I installed windows 8 on my computer now my photo's won't save to photostream on the computer they do on the phone just not the computer?

    Apple told me 8 was compatible after spending 4 hours on the phone with them in total. My laptop is an acer Aspire. In the end they said it is probably is my network that is the problem with photostream not syncing. How can it be my network when photostream works perfectly well when i use my husbands computer with windows 7. Also last night I removed icloud from my windows 8 laptop (not syncing photostream anyway) and installed Acer cloud which now supports IOS so happy to say my phone now syncs photos perfectly to my windows 8 acer aspire laptop.

  • Is there a version of iTunes that is compatible with Windows 8.1?

    Is there a version of iTunes that is compatible with Windows 8.1?

    Thanks! The procedure worked great for me (using iTunes 10), however there was one caveat. I also had to edit “AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi” with Orca and change the entry in “LaunchCondition” from
    VersionNT64>=600
    to
    VersionNT64>=501
    in order for the Device Manager driver update procedure to work, and iTunes to recognize my iPhone4. Prior to doing this, only “digital still camera” was displayed in the “imaging” entry in Device Manger. Once I did the above, “Apple Mobile Device USB Driver” was listed, and the procedure worked as written.

  • Is the wireless keyboard compatible with windows?

    I have recently used one of the stunning keyboards on a mac system and i desperately want one. Just before I buy one I wanted to make sure that it is compatible with windows. Plus do I need to buy a bluetooth receiver thing or is there one included in the box? Thankyou

    System requirements are here: http://www.apple.com/keyboard/
    You can use it on Windows which is running on a Mac via BootCamp because that comes with the required Bluetooth drivers.
    It doesn't come with a Bluetooth Adapter.
    Some info about getting it working on a Windows PC is here:
