Magic mouse driver issues

I have a magic mouse and wireless keyboard that i am using on windows 7. After what feels like 15 seconds of inactivity, both devices will go to sleep and take 5 seconds to wake. I have tried reinstalling the drivers and i am running the latest version of bootcamp. Both products work fine on mac. Any help?

Both. Wired trumps wireless until you have driver support for wireless devices which are no-starter.
Or, to put it another way, seems like common sense if you can't use wireless deivces.
Take everything with a grain of salt, it will help. And not everything written was probably technically proofed and checked by someone that knows Windows as well as Windows on Mac. Probably written by different people even.

  • Magic Mouse connectivity issue

    Magic Mouse after power on button is switched on, no light indication at all. Frequent connection timed out before it becomes totally unusuable. I bought the Magic Mouse only for 7 months and had changed the mouse once. I had also changed the batteries to alkaline ones but didnt help reviving the mouse. Is this a hardware quality issue or setup issue? please advise.

    HellO:
    No light at all seems to indicate a faulty mouse.  I suggest you contact Applecare (or an Apple store) for a warranty replacement.

  • How do I uninstall the Magic Mouse driver or downgrade it?

    I am using the magic mouse.
    However, I want to use one button bluetooth mouse instead of magic mouse.
    That old mouse isn't paired with macbook pro.
    I think the driver should be downgraded for old one.
    How do I uninstall the driver for magic mouse and reinstall it for the old one?

    Hello sure:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    I do not think you need (or want) to play with the drivers.
    Go to system preferences>bluetooth. Disconnect the device (highlight it and use the little gear. Delete it with the minus sign.
    Now add the mouse you want into your system (gear and +).

  • Magic mouse driver for windows 7

    Hi Guys,
    Im running windows 7 (64 bit) from bootcamp on my macbook (late 2008 aluminum). I have had a few error messages from windows telling my that W764 doesn't support this notebook but I have nevertheless managed to work quite comfortably on this OS. My problem is that I have not managed to install the drivers for my computer from bootcamp assistant (trying to do so results in the aforementioned error message); this is not really a problem unless I really value scrolling on my computer - which I do, since I am working on CAD drawings - could you guys help me out to get drivers for my magic mouse? Would also really appreciate addressing these error messages.
    Thanks!

    Which version of bootcamp drivers are you trying to install? If you are trying version 4, maybe try an earlier 3 series that still has MM support. Even if you get them installed, getting the MM to work is a pain. You have to replace the generic bluetooth driver in device manager with the apple one and then do some other tweaks to get it to connect. Lots of posts on this.

  • Magic Mouse intermittent issues moving side to side

    The Magic Mouse is connected and it will scroll up and down and also, I can move the mouse up and down.  The problem is, sometimes it gets stuck and will not move to the right. 
    This has actually been an issue for some time now.  Since it happens intermittently, it's more of a nuisance than anything else because ti will always eventually start working again....
    I bought a brand new mousepad thinking that, perhaps, it was the surface causing the inconsistency; but it persists.  It always has working batteries in it.  Not quite sure what it is.
    Anybody want to take a stab at a diagnosis?  Maybe the sensor? If it's the sensor, how would I clean it?

    Go to bluetooth menu, and delete all previous mice, then try to re-pair again.
    Make sure you turn off mouse AND computer.  Then boot up computer, THEN turn on mouse when you get to the MOUSE preferences to add it.

  • Magic Mouse connectivity issues

    My magic mouse has been losing its connection lately. I have a 2012 MacBook Pro with Retina display with the latest version of Yosemite. Could it be that the mouse is nearing the end of its life? I bought this mouse when the magic mouse first came out maybe 5 years ago. Any suggestions?

    I've followed several threads and agree with Seventy One, the problem is mechanical and simple to solve.  Cleaning the terminals is sensible, but I also did this which has made my mouse connection robust.
    My Solution:
    I took a thick rubber band cut it to about 1 inch in length.  I placed it across the negative end of the batteries between the batteries and the compartment lid (not between the batteries and the terminals as that would cause a different problem).  When I close the lid, without forcing it, the rubber band holds the batteries firmly in place.  The batteries last longer and there is no drop in connection.  You might need to experiment a little with the thickness of the rubber band.
    I can now lift the mouse, tap it on the mouse pad, turn it upside down and use it on the ceiling, although I do need a ladder and it does make my arm go to sleep after a while.
    I've read about resetting parts of the operating system, but I really don't like doing that because of the law of unexpected consequences.
    The words "glue" and "precision piece of electronic equipment", should not usually be used in the same sentence and are not natural companions, but in this case, now that I have the right thickness and position, I'll glue the band or a similar piece of foam to the inside of the compartment lid.  I expect a future Magic Mouse may have this built in as it is such a common issue.

  • Magic Mouse lag issue.. new insight

    Hey guys, as many of you i've purchased new magic mouse and been having problems with lag, and unresponsiveness.. I own a 24' imac which i bought a month before the latest update.. This whole situation is so bad for me that it really renders the mouse useless. However, i did find out few interesting things.. First off it only happens during the time HD is working overtime... For example if i am using apps that load up the cpu after a while it will start to lag. As soon as i turn them off, it all back to normal.. Games as well.. I recently tried to play world of warcraft with the mouse and it worked fine until the game made the imac go into overdrive and fans began spinning fast. The mouse started acting up again.. And most recently I realized it lags like **** when my time capsule is doing a back up.. As soon as time machine finishing working its all back to normal.. Very strange.. still no fix but that's what i could figure out so far.. Try it and see if you have those same symptoms.

    A quick update to the jumpy mouse saga:
    After a year of problems with a jumpy mouse (see videos below) *I purchased a Magic Mouse to see if the Magic Mouse would solve the jumpiness issue. It did but the tracking speed was very slow. Therefore, I installed MouseZoom to increase the tracking speed. After installing MouseZoom I started noticing the jumpy mouse problems again.*
    _*This finding is very interesting!*_
    _*It implies that the faster the mouse movement the more likely one is to see an erratic mouse with the pointer making unrequested jumps around the screen.*_
    My hypothesis is that the operating system or processor is not allocating enough resources to the mouse if the tracking speed is set to a high level.
    _*The "jumpy mouse" problem seems to be far worse when the hard disk is running - either copying or downloading a large file*_. Some users are reporting that watching a high resolution flash video will also cause the mouse to skip and jump.
    I have tried three routers (two linksys, one Airport Extreme, three bluetooth mice, unplugging all peripherals still the same result.
    I am certain the problem is software related because the same exact mice work perfectly in Bootcamp 2.1 and Bootcamp 3.0 in Windows XP SP3.
    _*Youtube now has two videos showing the problem*._ You can view the videos here:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxLY3-pH-rs
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBzisliiVpg
    If you are suffering from similar problems may I suggest three actions:
    * Use the Quicktime X screen recording function to record a video of the problem.
    * Post the video to YouTube.
    * Contact Apple Care and share your video problem description with them.
    * Send a note referencing the video and description to www.apple.com/feedback
    Category: Mac OSX Feedback
    Feedback Type: Bug Report
    Feedback Area: Peripheral/Device Support
    I will update this video to let you know if the problem has been solved. I am hopeful that Apple will be able to find the source of the problem and solve it quickly. I really like my Mac and I can hardly wait for the problem to be resolved.
    Here is hoping that 10.63 will resolve this issue once and for all!

  • Magic mouse scrolling issue

  • Magic mouse driver lack?

    Magic mouse is truly a design item, beautiful.
    Can detect strange movements like tracking, scrolling etc BUT....
    cannot detect a single/double click like a touchpad do?
    Let me explain.
    I have a mac book pro whose touchpad is similar to the magic mouse multitouch surface.
    So why the touchpad can detect single "tap" clicks and, instead, the magic mouse can detect only "physical" single clicks?

    Magic mouse can detect single, double, triple tap, swipe, and other gestures.
    I hope apple devs will implement some of this gestures:

  • Ultimate solution to Magic Mouse connection issue?

    I have found that many users of Magic Mouse are experiencing frequent connection dropouts. I am another user who has been having trouble with this but unable to find a permanent solution.
    I know that whenever this happens, usually by switching off the bluetooth on the computer and switching it back on would make it work again, but sometimes when this problem gets intensified, within a minute after I switch back on the bluetooth and reconnect the mouse,  the mouse would appear laggy again (and disconnect too at times).
    I would like to know if there is a permanent solution to this problem.

    I would add the Magic Mouse to bluetooth favorites. I use Snow Leopard but I think the process is the same for Leopard.
    Go to System Preferences > Bluetooth > Highlight the Mouse on the left > click the gear icon below the list > check "show more information" if not already checked. > return to the gear icon and select "add to favorites".
    That should help with a speedy reconnect.

  • Magic Mouse scrolling issues in Yosemite

    Ever since updating to Yosemite (10.10.1) on my MacBook Air (2014 - 1.4 GHz i5, 4GB ram), my Magic Mouse has been exhibiting some odd behavior.  Often times when I try scrolling up and down a page in Chrome with a one-finger vertical motion, it decides to interpret the gesture as a one-finger right swipe instead, and ends up browsing back to the previous page.  I have checked carefully and the scroll gesture I am making is definitely vertical, not at all horizontal or diagonal.  Usually if I remove my hand from the mouse and try again it will be correct, though sometimes it takes a few tries.  It's very annoying and only started happening after I updated to Yosemite.
    Any ideas what could be causing this or how to fix it?

    UGH my mouse is doing the same thing and it's ******* me off, I keep going back/forward between webpages when I only want to scroll. It seems 50/50 though...sometimes it scrolls, sometimes it just goes back but it's super annoying. Anyone have a fix?!?!?

  • Magic Mouse Wifi issue

  • Suggestion for Apple Magic Mouse scrolling issue...

    I have a Magic Mouse, approximately 3 years old. Recently, and suddenly, the horizontal scrolling stopped working. I tried every fix I saw suggested, here and on other sites, with no success. I had resigned myself to the fact that I would have to part with another $80 to get another one (because I really do like it), or try a different type of mouse (but none other seems to offer what this one does). This mouse has lasted through 3 years of heavy use, 3 young boys learning how to use it, several drops, 1 complete non-Genius tear-down and re-build, a couple of liquid spills, etc. So I figured I had nothing to lose; it didn't owe me anything.
    So I dropped it. I banged it on the desk. Pretty hard. 3 times.
    And now the horizontal scrolling works. Just fine.
    When all else fails, try the inconceivable (what, bang or drop an Apple product on purpose??!!). It worked for me.

    Love to watch you do that with your computer or your TV. Be sure to post the video.

  • Bluetooth Mouse Driver Issues after updating to SP1

    Greetings!
    After upgrading to SP1 my bluetooth mouse stopped working.  The dongle I'm using is being detected fine, and when I scan for the mouse I can find it, but when I try to connect to it I get a "Locate driver" message from Vista.  When I let it scan for the driver it is unable to find anything compatible, so when I tell it to scan the CD that came with it again it finds nothing.  It's like the Bluetooth HID Device driver is no longer working.
    This is the dongle:
    http://us.kensington.com/html/9403.html
    This is the mouse:
    http://us.kensington.com/html/12635.html
    Some of the things I've tried:
    Uninstalling and reinstalling the WIDCOMM Bluetooth stack.  I've tried using Vista's Bluetooth stack instead of the WIDCOMM stack, with no luck.
    I've also tried the Bluesoleil drivers with no luck there either, in fact those seem to break the dongle and Vista is no longer able to detect it.
    I've tried the install CD that came with the mouse, but it seems that is for Windows XP only.
    I've tried another Bluetooth mouse that produces the exact same results, with a CD that is for Vista.
    Anyone else having this issue?

    Just wanted to update this with an answer.
    I'm pretty sure that running vsp1cln.exe was the reason why my Bluetooth and iPod stopped working.  I reinstalled Vista and upgraded to SP1 without running that tool to clean up the install files and both bluetooth and my iPod are working again.  It must clean up the driver files that they were using and the new files are not compatible or something.  Not sure really.

  • New apple wireless magic mouse & itunes playlists grayed out

    Today I started using a new apple wireless magic mouse after installing the wireless mouse software.
    Ever since that all my playlists in itunes are grayed out & I cannot play any songs from a playlist.
    I have run disk first aid, rebooted, & still cannot resolve this issue. I am thinking of returning this mouse & going back to my original wireless mouse.
    Anyone know why this mouse would cause itunes issues & how to resolve this?
    I did go back to my old wireless mouse, rebooted the mac, then itunes & the issue was resolved.
    I must be doing something wrong if I cannot use this neat new wireless mouse. Anyone know what it could be?

    I suggest you update to 10.5.8 (or change your signature), since teh magic mouse needs 10.5.8.
    They won't be selling too many of these new "Magic Mice" if this issue isn't resolved.
    See your previous sentence...
    Seems to me like someone else besides me would have had this issue
    If it was a problem yes, is seems others would have brought it up.
    & they would have come up with a solution
    If it was a problem, likely they would. Sounds like it is not the mouse but some setting on your system.
    Have you checked the System prefs -> Keyboard & Mouse? And have you downloaded the latest -> Magic Mouse driver?
