Magic mouse installation

According to the Magic Mouse insructions to use your Magic Mouse and its full range of features, update your Mac to Mac OSX version 10.5.8 or later (which is already done) and install the Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0 for Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard; requires a paired Apple Magic Mouse and Mac OS X v10.5.8. I clicked the apple to update and could not find the Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0 for Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard. Could someone please tell me what I am missing, any help would be greatly appreciated as I am greatly challenged.

Once you have installed the software that Niel has given you the link for you might want to have a look here

Issue with Software updates and Magic Mouse installs

Having the same problem with Magic Mouse install as the Airport Utility Update
My machine: Mac os x; 10.5.8
My Problem: Got Magic Mouse for Xmas. Prior to getting download for Magic Mouse I checked for any software updates. It called for Airport Utility 5.4.2 and MacBook EFI Firmware 1.4. I ran the software update for each, started the install and received the message:
*The source media you are installing from is damaged. Try installing from a different copy of the source media or contact the manufacturer for a replacement.*
(When I hit OK; or what ever it asked me to do the window closed and then the Software Update window showed w/ the message:
An error occurred during installation) -Duh
This is a shared machine... I am not the administrator so I went over to the ‘administrator side’ and tried to install the update software.
It installed the EFI Firmware 1.4
It DID NOT install the Airport Utility upgrade. It gave the same message:
*The source media you are installing from is damaged. Try installing from a different copy of the source media or contact the manufacturer for a replacement.*
I then tried to download the Magic Mouse Download. Went to apple.com for download:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/wirelessmousesoftw areupdate10forleopard.html
I got the download, then ran the install guide:
Intro/readme/license/destination select / installation type/installation
got to about 87% installed... and got the message:
Install Failed (yellow triangle):
The source media you are installing from is damaged. Try installing from a different copy of the source media or contact the manufacturer for a replacement.
What now?
I don’t understand how the source media can be damaged... it comes right off the apple site. Is there something on my end and if so WHAT?
Any help/direction appreciated.

I don't have a right arrow key issue but I do have a problem where the center wheel click option gets completely lost. I have hit set to use Expose all windows.
Well, I'll be going around just fine...the I notice I loose center wheel click. If I try and change center wheel click in System Center, then I'm really screwed. Then any thing I left click becomes selected and I have to drag it all of the place.. no way to release. I'll disconnect the usb receiver for the mouse.... a Logitech wireless laser mouse, MX 620.
I never had a problem until the Jan update, then the latest this week seems to have made it even worse.

I lost my bluetooth after installation of Maverick2. Can anyone help me please, i cannot use my magic mouse on my Mac Book Pro retina???

I lost my bluetooth after installation of Maverick2. Can anyone help me please, i cannot use my magic mouse on my Mac Book Pro retina???

There is a fix; I finally discovered how to clear the Windows 7 xx64 Device Manager's warning of a missing Bluetooth Peripheral device.
Thinking Boot Camp 4.0 would correct thid, I installed it ititially today only to have the warning remain.
The Bluetooth company called Broadcom (you notice the reference during the installation of Boot Camp) offers a BlueTooth "device finder" (my phraseology) that detects all BlueTooth devices in your Apple or PC but withing a Windows operating system; included are Windows 7 , Vista, XP and even 2000 operating systems.
So download the 3 MB file, from Broadcom.com. While your Bluetooth equipment is plugged in to the computer, run the program. The program searches for any BlueTooth peripheral activated equipment and BlueTooth devices that makeup your MacBook Pro, or other Apple or a plain PC computer having a Windows operating system installed. It then downloads the appropriate software required.
The company's URL address:
http://www.broadcom.com/support/bluetooth/update.php
In my case, I ran the program, rebooted my MacBook Pro (in Windows 7 x64 and with the new Boot Camp 4.0 installed) and the missing BlueTooth peripheral device indication was eliminated. It took 10 minutes to complete.

How uninstall Magic Mouse software? due Wacom installer conflict?

I am quite happy with my Magic Mouse but I am 90% certain it is causing the latest Wacom update installer to fail.
I have three OS partitions on my Mac Pro:
1. Main boot drive: Installed magic mouse....OK, then installed latest Wacom update....failed.
2. Clone of main boot drive: Installed Wacom update...OK, then installed magic mouse...OK, both working.
3. Utilities OS: Installed wacom update....OK, then installed magic mouse....OK, both working.
So any help uninstalling the magic mouse mouse software so I can put the wacom update on, then reinstall magic mouse, would be very welcome.
Thanks

HI Mike,
Try repairing disk permissions and then try the Wacom software install.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
Something I learned years ago with Wacom and Apple mice. Keep the tablet and pen away from the mouse. If I try to use the pen within a foot of the mouse, the entire system freezes. There's definitely a conflict between tablet software and wireless devices. Not sure if that's a help to you or not...
Also, when trying to install the Wacom software, turn the mouse off. See if you can get the Wacom software installed that way.
And if you installed the Magic Mouse update here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL950
Open System Preferences / Software Updates - Installed Software. If that update is listed there, delete it. It might be the culprit easy enough to reinstall.

I use an iMac (27" 3.4) and have problems with the Magic Mouse. It does not use contact, but opens useless and unrelated submenus with every click, even on the empty desktop. I can't shift, open or close pages. Has anyone out there the same problem?

I use an iMac 27" (mid 2011). Until recently I had OSX 10.6.8 installed, but both, the HDD and SSD had to be replaced, and I lost all the memory.
After the repair through Apple Care I had OSX 10.7.5. (Lion) installed, which developed a Magic Mouse problem.
Unlike with most users, I have no problems with connection, but grapple with a different kind of erratic behaviour.
All fancy stuff is turned off in the mouse preferences. When I try to move, open or close pages, unrelated submenus pop up and hinder the
required task. No matter how often I click, these menus stay there, and they even come up when clicking on the bare desktop.
It renders the mouse absolutely useless, as no work can be done with it.
The first 'Magic Mouse' had depleted batteries every few days, despite switching it off after use.
I was supplied a new Mouse, which does better battery-wise, but the problems are the same. I can't get a result by clicking on any link, due to
the pop-up menus, so both 'Magic Mice' are totally useless.
At present I am using the old USB mouse from my Mac Pro, and that works still o.k.
The problem are not the mice, but the software. The first 2 weeks after installation of OSX 10.7.5 the Magic Mouse worked though.
I have no idea as to what the reason may be.
Has anyone in the community ever experienced that particular problem. Any hint would be welcomed.
Thank you!

Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee
Cheers, Gerd

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.

Magic mouse no longer works after Lion upgrade

After upgrading to Lion my magic mouse failed to work. I plugged in an older USB mouse and thankfully it does work. It appears the System Preference for Blue Tooth no longer has my machine name in it, instead it has "Name not available" and the "On" check box will not stay checked when I reopen the preference. The syncing process "Set Up New Device..." doesn't seem to work either, it searches but doesn't find eventually the flashing LED on the mouse goes out.
I've tried to solve this but failed. I believe its something wrong with the installation of Lion on my iMac because I installed Lion on my lap top and the magic mouse WILL sync with it.
What do you suggest I do to remedy this situation?

Solved it myself. Re installed Lion.
Thanks Radio for your help

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."

MAC OS X 10.6.3 issues with iTunes/Magic mouse

This is strange. Somehow I was able to upgrade Snow Leopard 10.6 to 10.6.3. How was that possible? I did this about a week or so ago. 10.6.3 is not available on Apple's download site today 2-7-2010. How did I get access to it?
A couple of weeks ago, I bought the Snow Leopard CD and installed it over my Tiger OS, without any problems. Then i bought a wireless keyboard and magic mouse which prompted me to upgrade Snow Leopard to 10.6.2., as well as upgrade the software to the wireless peripherals. Went to Apple's download page and somehow downloaded OS X 10.6.3. Hmmm? I also installed the latest security update at this time too. After all installs, at this point, I wasn't experiencing any issues with my laptop.
But then, I upgraded iTunes to 9.0.3. At this point I started experiencing problems after shutting down and then booting up the next day. iTunes began playing music slowly, music wasn't garbled, but the songs sounded out of tune (playing from my hard drive). Also, my wireless magic mouse got jumpy and exhibited delayed reaction. I ended up reinstalling OS X 10.6 (from the cd) over the existing OS (10.6.3), and now iTunes works just fine. The reinstall of OS X 10.6 from the cd did wipe out my software upgrades for the wireless peripherals and i have yet to upgrade them. i'm just glad iTunes is working well again.
My questions are: Was the problem with iTunes playing slowly an iTunes issue? Or was the root problem from the upgrade to OS X 10.6.3, and therefor an OS problem? Why was my mouse also displaying problems? And how was I able to get OS X 10.6.3 from Apple several days ago when they don't have that version available for download on the site today? Confusing.

My questions are: Was the problem with iTunes playing slowly an iTunes issue? Or was the root problem from the upgrade to OS X 10.6.3, and therefor an OS problem?
Even if a user has access to the beta, and knew of an issue they are working on, he/she would not be able to comment on it here. This forum is only for OS's that have been released and is covered by a Terms of Use agreement.
Sounds like you got an unintended update in some sort of fluke accident, and since you've removed it, there's no way of telling what caused the problem or if it was the OS or program or both.

Problem with magic mouse gestures in safari

iMac 27", mid 2011
16 GB 1333Mhz
Using OS X Yosemite, Safari, Magic Mouse
one day no problem at all, the next day, without any new installations:
Whenever I use the swipe gesture to go back to a previous page,
It does not work and I cannot scroll on this page anymore.
Shutting down Safari and restarting it works.
I read a lot about this, it seems to be a known problem.
I did not use terminal to use direct command for remedy, but tried everything else I read:
power own the mouse, taking battery out, switching off BT for Mouse, several restarts of the iMac etc.
Nothing helps.
As I am so used to the gestures for a very long tome, it takes only seconds, before I swipe back-- and that´s it!
I have to restart Safari.
I would be very thankful for your help!
best,
Fred

Hi seventy one,
many thanks for your efforts to help me!!
but I just solved my problem doing the exact same as someone else did:
I cite him here:
BidgeMar 10, 2015 7:05 PM Re: Magic Mouse Scrolling Issue
Re: Magic Mouse Scrolling Issuein response to Linc Davis
Hi Linc
Thank you for the extremely detailed response.
I think I have the issue solved for the minute at least.
I not only disconnected every cable from the Mac, as I had previously done, I also disconnected every cable from my peripherals and powered down every peripheral as well, then re-wired my set-up. This seems to have solved the issue. Not sure of the technical reason that this would have fixed my problem, but it seems to have fixed the issue for the moment anyway.
So, my problem is solved too!!
Many thanks

Can't drag and drop in Finder with trackpad or magic mouse

I can't seem to drag and drop anthing in the Finder window since updating to Mavericks (10.9). I've tried changing all magic mouse and trackpad settings. I can drag and drop windows and apps on the dock. No sure what the issue is....any help is appreciated!

Had the same problem. Reinstalled the software - all is well. Cured many ills with the initial installation - don't bother trying to play with permissions, etc. Just reinstall.
Thank goodness this isn't Micro$oft or you'd have to sit in front of the computer to keep answering the "Okay to reboot" questions every time a chunk of code is installed.

Random Magic Mouse stuttering: driving me crazy

My Magic Mouse has been having intermittent problems when used with my 2012/13 MBP. It has been happening for over a year now and is driving me insane.
The symptoms: Sometime I loose and regain connectivity. Sometimes the mouse is stuttering or jittery - you cannot move smoothly or scroll smoothly. Sometimes a reboot fixes it, sometimes not. I have tried a different Magic Mouse (so I do not think it is a problem with this mouse) and have removed all preferences and tried to turn off all other bluetooth devices near my MBP. I bought an external dongle for my MBP. I have tried to cast a spell on the computer. In short I think I have tried just about everything.
I did install my own SSD in the MBP and so it is possible that I messed up the antennae but wouldn't the dongle fix that?
Is there something that I can look at in the log that might tell me something?
Is there some program that will allow me to test bluetooth strength?
Any help would be greatly apprecicatd.

Do you have access to a wired mouse you could test with to try and make sure it is a Bluetooth Problem?
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Magic mouse in windows

i have a MacBook Pro 17" and i am looking for a driver so that i can use my Magic Mouse with at least the scrolling. Is there something out there for me to download. I am using Bootcamp and running Windows XP Pro. some help would be great. or if not the magic mouse then just the track pad on the computer itself?

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.

Magic Mouse on Windows XP PC

Hi,
I know this question has been asked before butI have still not found a solution that works for me. I have a Magic Mouse which I use on my Macbook but would also like to use on my work PC.
I know there were drivers available at UneasySilence but these links are now dead.
Does anyone know where I can find XP 32-bit drivers for the Magic Mouse?
Any help is much appreciated.

I told, you, the Windows (PC) drivers for the Magic Mouse are included in the Windows software that is included on the Windows portion of your Mac OS install DVD. Just put the DVD in and run the boot camp installer, or if you so desire, browse the disc and run just the MSI file that is the drivers for the mouse.
There are two portions to Boot Camp. The Mac side which prepares your Mac OS for the second partition and prepares the emulation for a PC BIOS. The second part is the Windows portion which is simply a set of device drivers and support software for the Apple hardware. That second piece is what you are looking for to get your Magic Mouse drivers.
