Magic Mouse and Windows 7

I recently installed Windows 7 in boot camp on my iMac. I cannot get the mouse to move at all. I installed the drivers from the OS X disk. Any suggestions?

There are plenty of problems with the BT mouse and KB. I had that problem before and the last solution I tried work till now. Please try to see if it can help.
First, you have to remove (NOT DISCONNECT) the BT mouse and KB in OS, then boot into Windows 7 (need wired mouse and KB to do so), then open the BT setting to remove the BT mouse and KB (if any) and run detect to detect the BT mouse and KB, if it connects (you should be half way through). Restart and boot it into OS (don't disconnect the wired KB and mouse yet), then open the BT and allow it to detect the BT mouse and KB. Someone told me that it is the sequence, Windows must be set first, if not it cannot write the setting and cannot connect. Further, simply moving the mouse around will not wake the BT mouse, you have to click the mouse to wake it up. Good Luck!

  • 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.

  • Magic Mouse and windows

    I have the new mouse and it's my only mouse problem is in bootcamp how will it work?

  • How I got the Bluetooth Magic mouse and Aluminum keyboard to work in XP

    NOTE: The following steps fixed my issue. I thought I would share what worked for me but I really don't ever visit these discussion groups. I used a combination of Sysinternal tools to isolate what was causing my issue and rectified it.
    I couldn't for the life of me get the bluetooth magic mouse and keyboard working in a bootcamp'd windows xp. Here are the steps that I performed to finally get it to work. The assumptions are that you are running a clean XP build with SP3 and all windows updates installed.
    1. Using a USB mouse and keyboard. Insert the OS X install disc into the drive and run through the bootcamp drivers install. (These steps are outlined at Page 12 in the Apple Boot Camp Installation Guide: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/bootcampinstall-setup.pdf). Let the installers run per apple instructions in the bootcamp installation guide. At the end it will want to reboot. Reboot the system.
    2. After the system reboots login and run the Apple Software Update utility to update from bootcamp 3.1 to 3.2. It will run through a bunch of installers and ask to reboot at the end. Reboot.
    3. After the system reboots login and go to start=>run and type "services.msc" to bring up the services control panel.
    4. Double-click the "Bluetooth Support Service" to open the properties.
    5. Go to the "log on" tab and look to see what is set. If it is set to "NT Authority\LocalService" then click above it to change to "Local System account." Then click "OK." It will tell you the changes won't take effect until the service is restarted. No worries.
    6. You will be back in the main services control panel. Make sure the "Bluetooth Support Service" is highlighted and look up to the left and select "restart the service."
    7. Close all the open windows and then go to start=>run and type "control panel" and hit enter.
    8. Double-click the "Bluetooth devices" control panel applet and follow the Apple instructions provided on Page 18 of the guide referred to earlier. Start with the mouse first. Stop when done with the mouse and don't continue on to the keyboard yet.
    9. At this point my mouse was "installed" but did not show "connected" in the bluetooth devices applet. I then highlighted the mouse and clicked the "properties" button down to the right.
    10. Once in the properties of the mouse I selected the "services" tab. My issue before making the switch to "Local System" account for the Bluetooth services was then when I tried to click the check box to enable "Drivers for keyboard, mice, etc (HID)" I would get an "access denied" error. Now that the switch has been made you should be able to click that check box without error. Click OK after enabling.
    11. You will suddenly see systray (lower right of the screen where the clock is) saying that new hardware has been detected and enabled. Once this is all done you will see "connected" below the device in the Bluetooth applet. Give your mouse a go. It should be working now. Sweet!
    12. Follow the steps in the Apple guide for your keyboard. This should work too now. Sweet!
    Best of luck.

    It depends on how far it is and how thick your walls are. If there plasterboard partitions and only 10 feet apart then probably.
    If you have a mobile phone with bluetooth, then try sending the computer a picture of file from similar distances to that you intend using the keyboard, if it works then a bluetooth keyboard and mouse should.

  • 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?)

    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."

  • 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.

    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)

    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 and Apple Wireless Keyboard with Bootcamp and Win XP Pro 32-bit

    Does the Apple Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard work with Boot Camp running Windows XP Pro (32-Bit)... I read something leading me to believe there maybe a problem and you need to use a wired USB mouse/Keyboard.
    Is this true?

    Apple Wireless Keyboard is able to work in Boot Camp via Window XP Pro, it's good enough.
    but the Magic Mouse, it's not able to work completely in Window XP Pro,
    it's just work like a normal bluetooth wireless mouse,
    all the Multi-Touch features like scroll, rotate, swipe, pinch and tap click are not gonna work,
    even you are configure via the snow leopard, so please be reconsider.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Been losing connection for magic mouse and wireless keyboard

    When I have my MBP running Mavericks in clamshell mode, I lose connections to both magic mouse and apple wireless keyboard in clamshell mode. I've tried all the PRAM SCM, aluminum foil and paper tricks. What I then did was test what happens when I leave the MBP open rather than in clamshell mode and it appears to avoid losing connection, at least that is what I've concluded with Mavericks for now..... anyone else able to replicate this? Having to leave the MBP open is not ideal.

    Barry, thanks, still not working.  I've tried every thing I can think of or have read, what I'm concluding is that there is either a problem with Mavericks or something has changed on how bluetooth works in Mavericks. Did not have this problem for the last 4 years. I can reproduce the problem when I close the laptop. I had the Bluetooth and wireless card checked out and replaced about 3 weeks ago. Problem has continued.
