Magic Mouse and 27" iMac Store Availability

Do Apple sotres have the magic mouse available? At least as a floor model to try it out? What about the 27" iMac?

Well I went to the Naperville, IL store to look at the 21.5" iMac since the 27" was not in stock. Surprise -- they had 3 of the 27" on display and a supply of the dual core for sale. Not sure why the person on the phone said they did not have them.
The 27" is absolutely beautiful!!! Opening iPhoto and being able to see your "thumbnail" photos so large is great. It also opened iPhoto almost instantly.
The wireless keyboard & Magic Mouse were tethered with a security cable so they could not be taken. The Magic Mouse works well - definitely tough to go back to a normal mouse.
I'm looking forward to ordering one. I will need to order online as I want the dual core with upgraded graphics card.

  • Just installed OSX Mavericks.Bluetooth disappeared from menu bar and system preferences. I have a magic mouse and my IMac no long recognizes it as such, nor can I scroll with it. What's wrong?

    Just installed OSX Mavericks. Bluetooth disappeared from menu bar and system preferences panel. I use a Magic Mouse but my iMac no longer recognizes it as such, and I can no longer use it to scroll screen. What happened?

    Since Mavricks installed: My Spotlight icon disappears from the menu bar, but the space stays there. If I click on the blank space where the
    spotlight icon is supposed to be - the spotlight menu opens. So, for me, the icon is there, it works except that it is invisible at times. IF I do a re-start it is there. If I let the computer set, sleep or other wise stay on for days, the icon will hide and re-appear at random.

  • I would like to AirPlay mirror my iMac and be able to use both my magic mouse and wireless keyboard, but the bluetooth range won't let me. Is there a way to extended its range?

    I am buying an iMac to AirPlay mirror on my big screen TV with AppleTV (2nd generation). But my TV is located far away from my iMac and I won't be able to use my magic mouse or wireless keyboard via bluetooth connection. I know I can use an app to simulate both mouse and keyboard, but I really need to use the actual devices.  
    I wish there was a way to pair them to my iPad or iPhone, via bluetooth, and control my iMac via network. It is a cheap solution, as I wouldn't need to buy any other device. I believe all these devices, without modifications, have enough technology to be able to work as I've imagined. The only need was to adapt the software.
    Is there a solution simple as this one, or do I have to buy a Bluetooth extender in order to use my magic mouse and wireless keyboard? If so, which BT extender do you suggest and what is its range?
    Thank you!

    If you are still under warranty, contact Apple to get it serviced. You can also visit an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get it looked at.

  • Will magic mouse and wireless keyboard work with my G4?

    hello, i have a 1.25 Ghz ppc g4 imac and have leopard installed. i was wondering if i get a bluetooth dongle and a magic mouse and wireless keyboard would it work? would i also need a special kind of bluetooth adapter? i already have airport extreme, im going for the modern mac one wire (power cord) look. thank you.

    According to this on the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB829LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1Mg
    the Magic Mouse requires at least OS 10.5.8 whcih you don't have.
    The current wireless keyboard requires 10.6 which cannot run on a G4 iMac.
    I would look to third-party solutions. I like Logitech input devices:

    However, even the Logitech devicez may require a higher version of the Mac OS than you have. Be certain to check system requirements very closely before buying something.

  • 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

  • Right-click on Magic Mouse and Volume Controls on Wireless keyboard suddenly stopped working

    I am running Mavericks 10.9.2 on an Late 2012 iMac.
    One morning the right click on my Magic Mouse and the volume controls on the wireless keyboard stopped working.
    These mouse and keyboard themselves seem fine; they work okay ehn used on a MacBook.
    Everything else about the mouse and keyboard is fine.
    This seems to be a problem what has been around for a whole, with a wide variety of solutions.
    I have read

    and have tried
    Clicking on and off the 'right click' checkbox in the Mouse System Preferences - No effect
    Deleting /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist - No effect
    Restarting in Safe Mode - When starting in safe mode, the computer crashes out and restarted
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM - Is it CTRL+CMD+P+R or CMD+OPT+P+R ?  Neither work for me (I do try it using a wired keyboard, but never get the double chime)
    Upgraded to 10.9.2 - no effect
    Moved the /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHIDMouse.kext and AppleHIDKeyboard.kext and and back in (and re-authenticate) - No joy
    Moved the /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHIDMouse.kext and AppleHIDKeyboard.kext from a working MacBook on same OS - Made the keyboard misbehave even more
    Has anyone got any other cures for this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Here is what worked for me.  My scrolling on the mighty mouse and a few buttons on my wireless keyboard weren't working properly.  I reset the SMC, a link explaining the process is below.  Hope it helps you too!

  • Apple Magic Mouse and ID

    I've recently purchased the lovely Apple Magic Mouse and am finding it quite difficult to use with InDesign CS4 - other ID versions would be the same I imagine. With this mouse you scroll by stroking its top surface, rather like a trackpad. This is excellent in other applications but in ID, because the pasteboard area is so large and the sensitivity of the mouse so high (even when scrolling is turned down to the minimum in its preferences), it's very easy to make your document shoot sideways off the screen. I expect Illustrator would have similar problems.
    Is there a way in which the ID pasteboard can be resized or constrained? Maybe someone will come up with a prefs panel to control the new mouse's scrolling more precisely - but not yet.
    Thanks for any ideas.
    John Mallinson

    I agree, it's far too sensitive. The core problem is that we have become so accustomed to resting our fingers on the surface of mice, because they always require a *definite* press, or scroll action. Now the magic mouse is so sensitive to ANY touch that it reacts to touches meant to push the mouse or were not meant to contact the surface of the mouse.
    At first I liked it a bit, but the more I use it, I think it's Apple's worst mouse ever. Puck included (at least you could buy a housing to put them in). This mouse doesn't "seem" to track the same as all other wired mice I've ever used. The touch interface is great for vertical scrolling, but as pointed out here, far to sensitive in circumstances where such scrolling is not desired. Perhaps this could be rectified with a *very* comprehensive preference panel, ie one that lets a user specify the amount of scroll or movement required to initiate a swipe/scroll. The Wacom tablet panel has such prefs, for each program and an overall control as well (ie all unspecified apps). My other major complaint against the mouse is the overall shape. It is simple not comfortable or natural. I prefer a more bulbous mouse, since like many of you I imagine, I end up using the back of my palm to "push" the mouse around or rest my fingers on it. The Magic doesn't lend to resting on it at all. I also need to lift it up, or scroll it farther to the side of the screen than the room I have on my mouse surface. With my Mighty Mouse I pick it up by the sides and put it back down somwhere in the center of my mouse area. I have a dual screen setup, and my coworkers all have 24" iMacs, so it can still be a lot of screen space to traverse.
    My Magic Mouse was a gift, but I still feel the $70 for it was a waste. I use it primarily because the scroll ball on the Mighty gets dirty fast and does not respond, and at that I rest the Magic next to my keyboard to scroll but still use the Mighty 95% of the time. If Apple would have made the exact same Mighty Mouse but only made the center area where the ball is, a touch sensitive surface, I would be in mouse heaven (they could delineate the area with a small inscribed line or something).
    IMHO big Apple Fail.

  • Which brand is THE best in rechargeable batteries for Magic Mouse AND last long ?

    Which brand is THE best in rechargeable batteries for Magic Mouse AND last long ?

    I've been using the Apple rechargables in my keyboards/mice/trackpads for over a year now.  They last 3-4 weeks in my usage pattern but I have spares ready to go when they get weak.

  • I can't connect my wireless keyboard or magic mouse to my iMac

    Hello there! Both my magic mouse and my keyboard went out of battery life so I charged the batteries.
    Then when the batteries where charged and i booted my iMac, neither the magic mouse or the keyboard would connect (through bluetooth) and that results to no logging in to the computer.
    So I tried to connect the mouse and the keyboard to my macbook pro and there it worked.
    It seems that the bluetooth isn't on on my iMac, so how can i turn it on manually because I can't log in.
    Thank you.

  • Magic Mouse and acceleration

    Does anyone know if there's a way to completely disable OS X's acceleration curve with the Magic Mouse? I really want to use this mouse with my new iMac, but unless I can find a way to disable acceleration like I could with my Razer (and older Apple mice), this thing is just a fancy paperweight.

    Enter the following in Terminal:
    defaults write -g com.apple.mouse.scaling -1
    Once you do this do NOT adjust the speed setting in the Magic Mouse preference pane. If you do it will override what you did in Terminal and you will have to do it again. By completely disabling mouse acceleration I can finally use my Magic Mouse and and get from one side of the screen to the other with small mouse movements. The only downside is that very small movements is much more difficult. Takes a bit getting used to but for the most part I'm happy with it.

  • Magic Mouse and Parallels Desktop

    I would like to get the Magic Mouse for my iMac, but I run some Windows apps in XP under Parallels Desktop. Is the mouse going to function at all in this mode? From other threads, it looks as though it might work with reduced functionality, but those discussions pertained to Boot Camp. I want to figure this out before buying the new mouse.

    My Magic Mouse does left-click and scroll only in Windows XP Pro (SP3) running on Parallels Desktop 4.03846. I'm on a 2.8 GHz MacBook Pro with OS 10.5.8.
    For what it's worth, I do love the mouse and its design, but no right-click prevents me from using it at work (where I primarily use Windows). It really hurts to plug in my USB Microsoft mouse!
    If you have any tips to get the three basic functions working (left-click/right-click/scroll), I'm listening...

  • Magic Mouse and battery life....

    Well, today my Magic Mouse died...had to replace batteries. So I didn't get 3 weeks out of the original batteries....I received it on October 28...if this keeps up, I can see where the mouse will go on craigslist....very disappointed. Anyone else have to replace batteries already? I don't physically turn it off; the mighty mouse would automatically power down after period of no use....i'll try to power it off everytime I'm going to stop using it for awhile but there's no way this will work for me.....

    Actually, the Magic Mouse is only for wireless keyboards and the extended keyboard is only available wired.
    That's rubbish. I have a WIRED extended keyboard and a Magic Mouse. Which keyboard you use has absolutely nothing to do with which mouse you use.
    Rechargable batteries have a lifespan and eventually end up in the waste stream like other batteries
    After hundreds of uses. So instead of sending hundreds of batteries to the waste, you're only sending one. How can that not be better for the environment?
    they don't have the power or charge life of a precharged disposable
    As long as they have enough power to power the thing they're powering, what does it matter? And if they don't last as long (which is also bogus, just buy higher mAh ones) what does that matter? You just recharge them. Anybody who knows anything about environmental waste will tell you rechargeable batteries are better.
    What would be the reason not to have a wired version Magic Mouse and what would be the reason not to have a wireless extended keyboard?
    Once again - there is absolutely NOTHING stopping you from having both a wireless Magic Mouse and a wired extended keyboard.

  • Bluetooth problem with OSX Yosemite: Magic Mouse and Keyboard

    Hello everyone,
    I've a problem on my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 13" (late 2013).
    I've always used it plugged with an external monitor (I love double screen), magic mouse and bluetooth keyboard. On Mavericks everything was perfect with this setup.
    Yesterday I installed OSX Yosemite and I've found a boring problem: my Magic Mouse and my Bluetooth Keyboard have a 0.5 second of latency, lag. This happen when the Macbook is not plugged with battery charger. When he is on charge, the problem don't exist.
    I noticed this bug also on the public beta of this summer and submit the feedback.
    I hoped that they fixed this before release but the bug is still here.
    How can i solve this boring problem?

    I also reported this issue again and again during each beta release.
    This makes the MacBook basically unusable in battery power for doing any kind of design and coding work.
    I don't have any bluetooth addons or third party utilities. I also tried clearing PRAMs, and reinstalling Yosemite, to no avail.
    Here are some threads about the issue, which, I'm noticing, is common.

    Note that while the issue is kind of tolerable using the mouse, it's tragic with the keyboard.
    Does this prevent you from using OS X Yosemite?
    The issue makes it very difficult for me to use OS X Yosemite

  • Magic Mouse and Employing Pinch to Open and Close Feature

    I have purchased a magic mouse and would like to employ the "pinch to open & close" features (option on multi-touch trackpad) with the magic mouse. This is not the same as zoom (e.g. hold control key with mouse wheel).
    I have tried using bettertouchtool and magicprefs, but it appears that neither accommodates this feature easily. If there were a keyboard shortcut to employ this feature then I think I can assign it to a magic mouse gesture via BTT or Magic Prefs, but I cannot find such a keyboard shortcut.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    It could be you are approaching it incorrectly.   It can be a tricky little gadget that actually works with minimal pressure.
    Try turning over the mouse so the compartment panel faces you, optical sensor topmost.  Then holding the mouse at each side but not on the panel itself, flick the small, black rectangular panel downwards.   The top of the panel should spring out, though it may require you to manipulate it fully away from the mouse.
    Once you have replaced the batteries, starting at the bottom reverse the procedure then clip into place.   Remember to move the small switch next to the optical sensor upwards which should turn on the green light.   Then click twice to connect.
