Is two-finger swiping on Magic Mouse ever going to work in Boot Camp?

I recently installed Boot Camp w/Windows 7 Enterprise (64-bit) on my Macbook Pro. Everything works great, except two-finger swiping on the Magic Mouse in Firefox 4.
Do you think that Apple will address this in the future, or is this a Windows limitation with no solution? The Magic Mouse is pretty sweet, but I got used to using two-finger swiping, and it's driving me nuts not having it.

If you have not made any disk partition changes or resized windows or used OSX Disk Utility after Windows was installed, you are in a relatively safer position. I would highly recommend backups of both OSX and Windows with the ability to rollback, before you attempt the upgrade.

  • Magic Mouse Not Working with Boot Camp.

    Hi All,
    I have a wired issue here. I installed Windows XP on my iMac 27" using bootcamp and all worked fine till one day my Magic Mouse stopped working in Windows. Now the funny part is windows is able to detect my mouse and says that the device is working normally but the green light under my mouse is OFF. No matter what i try i cannot get it to come on. But the moment i boot to Mac OS X the mouse works perfectly fine. My Apple Wireless KB works just fine in Windows. A USB mouse also works fine. I have also installed Parallels on my Mac and when i boot into the Windows partition using Parallels the Magic Mouse works fine. Any idea as to whats going on here.?
    John.

    I have a new (July 2009) iMac24 and neither the wireless mighty mouse nor keyboard work with Boot Camp XP Home Edition SP3. They install OK with the Bluetooth control panel, but then after five or ten seconds, drop out of the control panel and have to be discovered again. I spent two hours today with a Mac support expert, but no joy. We both gave up. It seems the wireless mouse/keyboard does not work with Boot Camp. If anyone hears of a solution, please let me know.

  • Mouse not working with Boot Camp after 10.5.7 update

    I upgraded to 10.5.7 recently, and now my mouse doesn't work on Boot Camp. It doesn't seem to register, and I can't move the pointer. I tried this with two mice that worked just fine on the Mac OSX side. Any ideas? Has anybody else noticed this?

  • Can't turn off swiping with Magic mouse

    I have the magic mouse with a brand new 27 inch iMac, running OS 10.6.2. The magic mouse is almost unusable in any spreadsheet because the sheet will suddenly shift left and right because of my tendency to have two fingers on the mouse. This is true in Excel as well as Google's online spreadsheets. So I decided to turn off two finger swiping, but it still does it! Do I need to revert to a regular mouse or is there an easy fix?

    I am experiencing a somewhat similar problem with the Magic Mouse: I cannot disable the lateral scroll feature. This is terribly frustrating whenever coming across a page that extends beyond the width of the screen: It is virtually impossible to scroll vertically without some concomitant lateral scrolling!
    I've spoken with Apple Care about this... and the techs there were "surprised" that lateral scrolling could not be disabled! Their advice: wait until some 3rd party utility comes along to solve the problem!

  • Magic mouse and trackpad not working

    All of a sudden my magic mouse and trackpad stopped working.
    I tried everything, preferences, bluetooth config, but nothing works.
    Sometimes in the mouse prefpane, I get the message that the mouse is connected, then after a few seconds  it shows disconnected.
    In Bluetooth config I get the message that the mouse is connected but the wheel keeps spinning and then it says "connection failed. software configuration and bluetooth may be invalid or are not supported".
    Same for the trackpad.
    My second mac is also seen, and "connected ?" , but when I try to open the connection it fails also.
    System is lion 10.7.5. imac 3,6 Ghz corei5 from 2011.

    Found out myself how to solve the problem.
    Simply resetting the PRAM and everything was ok.
    Thanks anyway

  • Double finger swipe on magic mouse NEVER works

    i've got my 21.5" iMac for about two months. the magic mouse works well except the double finger swipe function has never been worked. i tried installing the wireless mouse software update file as suggested by other users and it doesn't help. i'm sure that this function has been checked in preference. what should i do?

    I had the same problem. I fixed it by delete the file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. This resets the mouse and keyboard preferences but my swipe started working again after doing it.
    Note: ~ means home directory.

  • Macbook Pro keyboard and track pad freezes after a day or two of using bluetooth Magic Mouse

    The first time this happened I thought my 3 y/old 17" Macbook Pro had died. The mouse cursor had frozen to the top left of the screen and the keyboard was also frozen and no matter what I did it didnt unfreeze. Even restarting. I searched extensively online and the only solution offered was to re install the system software.
    The next day I took it into work, opened it ip there and the cursor and keyboard was working again.
    This led me to believe there was a conflict with my recently purchased Magic Mouse and/or bluetooth.  Even though I had been using the mouse for well over 3 weeks with no problem.
    I resumed using the Magic Mouse with the computer for another week and then the keyboard/trackpad froze again. The Magic Mouse remained active.  This time, I took the batteries out of the mouse and took the computer downstairs. After a couple of hours everything is working fine again.
    Has anyone had this experience and knows how to fix? Or am I resigned to using a wired mouse?

    I have never encountered anything similar. However, try resetting the PRAM and SMC.

  • Magic Mouse - scrolling doesn't work on some web pages

    The scroll function on my Magic Mouse isn't working on some web pages. The main ones it struggles with are news sites (e.g. The Telegraph), or things that regularly update (e.g. BBC Sport live commentaries). When this is a problem the page won't scroll at all, even if you enable the scroll bars at the side of the page and try to drag manually. The majority of web pages do work however. Thoughts?

    Hello Halifax:

    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0* or Mac OS X v10.6.1 or later >with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0

  • Magic mouse, Win XP all work fine? On boot camp?

    I currently have an Intel iMac 2007 Core 2 Duo with Snow Leopard on and use boot cMp with Win XP home on. I have a mighty mouse wireless at the moment and works fine. I used a magic mouse in the Apple retail store recently Nd thought it was reall good.
    So will the magic mouse work fine under boot camp on Win XP home? What functions work and what dont please? I only want one mouse for Mac and Windows
    Cheers

    The Magic Mouse will work fine with Bootcamp Windows and Mac OS X. Follow the instructions: un-pair it in Mac OS X, install the drivers and pair it in Bootcamp Windows, and then pair it with Mac OS X. This works great for me, but note that functionality in Windows is more limited: scrolling is just up and down and no gestures for back page and forward page.
    My experience with the Magic TrackPad is that I can get it to work properly in either Max OS X (10.6.4 or 10.6.5) and Bootcamp Windows. (It has the same limits on functionality in Bootcamp Windows as the Magic Mouse.) However, when rebooting into a different OS, the prior pairing does not work. You have to delete the device in the Bluetooth control panel and then re-pair it. This is a nuisance and I find that it is easier to simply plug in a USB mouse for occasional use in Bootcamp Windows rather than to constantly re-install the device. This is not fixed in the 10.6.5 update on my system.
    If you need to use Bootcamp frequently, then the Magic Mouse is a better choice. Note that what I describe here is my experience with my early 2008 MacBook Pro. YMMV.

  • Magic mouse right click not working

    am i the only one? after downloading the latest os x updates, i'm unable to do any secondary click (right / left) with the magic mouse...tried everything via internet trouble shooting & even spoke with apple support...i have an appointment with their genius bar but there must be a way??? any advice apple fam? thanks.

    No, you are not alone. I had exactly that situation with my magic mouse on my 27 inch iMac after the recent update of Yosemite.
    I assumed it must be the mouse - just over a year old, so surprising.
    But searching this forum I found the helpful posts suggesting deleting the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file from Preferences. (Use Finder to go to your hard drive, open Library/Preferences and look down the long list of files to find com.apple.Bluetooth.plist. Drag a copy to your desktop, just to be safe. Then delete it from the Preferences. Restart your Mac and the file will be recreated.)
    It's surprising that Apple staff aren't aware of this.

  • Magic Mouse Right Click Stopped Working

    My magic mouse is acting up, the secondary right click has stopped working, if you select left click it will work but not right click.
    i have changed the battereis, restarted my mac, turned the mouse on and off but no joy, the left click just wont work, any idea on how to solve it?

    Have you checked your settings?
    Settings > Mouse > Point & Click that Secondary click is checked?

  • Apple Magic Mouse--right click not working, left-right scroll not working

    Brand new out of the box, right click does not work and neither do the left-right swipe. Is it likely I have a faulty mouse, or is there a software update or setting I have failed to find? Running 10.6.4 on brand new MacBook Air. Experts--help please

    I have the same issue.  My magic mouse is only about a year old and i honestly don't use it that often... it seems to me the right click is not "connecting" well as i have to click several times or very hard to get it to make a clicking sound.  not sure if its stiff or broken or not.
    Overall I'm pretty frustrated as this thing was EXPENSIVE. 
    Any ideas how to fix it?
