Magic mouse no longer working in Windows 7

Hi, I posted a topic under the Windows section but got no answer. When I first installed Windows 7 on my Mac (Sorry poor Mac but I had to), my Magic Mouse worked seamlessly with Windows until recently, I booted up in Se7en and my mouse no longer worked, I can't find any trace of bluetooth peripherals on the computer, in "Administration tools" and "Hardware manager" (or whatever it's called) I can't see a sign of my Broadcom Bluetooth adaptor. The bluetooth drivers are installed and I can see that in "Add or remove programs" so I don't know how to fix this. I already tried reinstalling the drivers from the boot camp DVD, and I also uninstalled Boot Camp, reinstalled it and updated it. Nothing works. If you have any ideas apart reinstalling Windows I would really appreciate because using my trackpad on a desk while having a Magic Mouse on the side (especially in Windows the trackpad *****) is driving me nuts. Thanks
Scott

Hi eg1978
Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you are having issues with your two finger scrolling. I have a couple of things for you to try. This HP document Using and Configuring the TouchPad has a section on Turning individual gestures off and on and make sure that the two finger scrolling is enabled. If that does work then reinstall your Synaptics TouchPad Driver.

Double Click on Magic Mouse No Longer Works after 10.9.1 Mavericks Upgrade

I just recently updated to Mavericks 10.9.1 and once the computer restarted, I noticed that double-click on my Magic Mouse no longer worked. I searched the forum and couldn't find anyone experiencing this. I also went into System Preferences --> Mouse but there is nothing about enabling double-click or adjusting double-click speed on there.
Would appreciate if someone were able to help me solve this. Thanks!

Try resetting the PRAM.
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Magic Mouse won't work in Windows 7 anymore

Hey there,
I've got an iMac running OS X 10.6.8 and Windows 7 via Boot Camp. I just updated a bunch of the Apple stuff on Windows -- iTunes, Quicktime, "boot camp" (I assume that meant drivers and such), and whatnot. Now my Magic Mouse won't work in Windows 7. It was fine before, so I assume the update screwed something up. Help? I know nothing of retrieving old drivers and stuff like that.
Note: I am running Snow Leopard, NOT Lion.

My apple magic mouse doesn't work in windows 7 after installing maverick os x

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

Magic Mouse no longer works on desk surface (varnished wood)

My magic mouse used to work fine without a mouse pad, but recently has become almost non-functional. As I move the mouse around on a varnished wood surface, it now seems to lag badly, almost stopping completely despite contined movement of the mouse. I've tried trashing the prefs, uninstalling MagicPrefs, reinstalling MagicPrefs, dumping MagicPrefs for BTT, etc. Nothing seems to work. I do have to regularly clean the plastic tracks on the bottom due to a buildup of dust, etc, but that, too, does not improve my performance. Does anyone have other suggestions for how to fix this problem? It would be a shame to have to use a different mouse.

WildBill,
I'd use a Q-tip and clean the laser light and sensor. Try new batteries (not rechargeables) and look for anything causing interference on the 2.4 mhz band.
I had this problem with a mighty mouse where it would only track on magazine or something with lots of color variation. I eventually just replaced it.
Regards,
Captfred
Edit: One addition thought. If you use the program USB overdrive, it's known to cause conflicts.

CP60-615DX Touchpad and external mouse no longer work after WIndows 7 SP1 update

Let me start by saying I am in the IT field, though clearly far from being great at it. I was updating a CP60-615DX at work with Win 7 x64 SP1. It installed with no errors or anything I'd consider abnormal. Once it was finished, the touchpad no long worked, as well as any mouse I'd hook up via Usb. So I checked Device manager, and the Touchpad is listed with the yellow exclamation mark, as well as mice I hook up. So I did what any respectable IT guy would do, I went to HP and downloaded x64 drivers for the Touchpad port and installed them. But they didn't fix the issue, literally nothing happened. So I installed the latest chipset drivers. Still nothing changed. So I uninstalled the device and manually added it by doing the advanced driver install for a new device, pointing it to the directory where the .exe file had placed the drivers. ...Nothing. So I uninstalled SP1,.... nothing. After uninstalling SP1, redid every aforementioned step, nothing. So my question is, **bleep**? Anyone know another way to fix an issue where the scrolling devices stop working and the drivers won't fix the issue?
Btw, the user had never set up windows restore, and my only other thought is pulling personal documents off and restoring to factory defaults. One more bit of info before I forget, when I went into Windows Recovery (which loads a pre-environment mini OS for you to restore and fix issues), the mouse worked, telling me it's not a hardware issue, it's a Windows vs devices issue.

Hi,
According to your description, since system reinstallation is not helpful, it's probably a hardware problem, it would be better to check if it is the device itself problem.

Scrolling on Magic mouse no longer work after OSX update

I have just performed an OSX update and after restarting I immediately noticed that the scrolling function and other gestures no longer work on the magic mouse. I have also noticed that no gestures work on the Mac Book Pro track pad. The only function that works on the mouse is moving the mouse pointer and the buttons. Same goes for the track pad. Some great update that was. Has anyone else discovered this and how do I repair this loss of function? When I first initiated the update, I saw that there was a download required which mention some improvements for the mouse/keyboard but mainly updates required to support the new magic track pad. Is it possible to revert this individual update and if so how? Thanks.

You were almost correct, but not quite. You can see updates in /Library/Updates. I'm not sure what receipts is, but it didn't contain the track pad/mouse update package I was expecting to see. However, I did eventually find it in Updates after a trip to my local Apple store. What happened was that the original update process completed about 95% but for some reason crashed. When I restarted, it appeared that there was nothing wrong, until that is I tried to use the mouse and track pad. I presume that the update process uninstalled the previous package but didn't actually install the new update. I downloaded the the latest update from Apple, but it appeared to be older than what I downloaded from the Update process, so it wouldn't install. I would suggest that here lies a bug. The package install process did detect the new trackpad / mouse package but it didn't detect that it wasn't installed and should have prompted me to install it.

Magic mouse no longer works, Magic mouse no longer works

Magic mouse will right and left click, but otherwise, is not responsive.

Go ahead and visit your local computer store (not Apple) and try out all different kinds of mice that best fits your person.
I am kind of fond of Logitech mice myself, but found a nice Targus that takes a beating and keeps on ticking, got a netbook bag with it for free.
Good thing, Mac's work with any old mouse and keyboards.

Magic Mouse no longer works on mousepad?

Don't know why, don't know if it was an update, or the fact that i just went to Lion, but now my mouse only works on my hard table surface, and barely moves (pointer just chunks along) if i try moving the mouse on the mouse pad, which it works fine on for a year.
Batteries are 100%, and mouse is clean as a wistle other wise. What gives?

Hello CC9799:
We both tried. Apparently a host decided to edit the thread (my remarks as well as yours). Your response (and, for that matter mine) were intended to help. Sadly, there are a few people who are so full of themselves they arrogantly dismiss people who volunteer assistance.
Keep posting.....as you see from my little purple dotsI have been doing this for awhile. I should have reminded myself it is sometimes best to just ignore things and move on rather than descend to the level of some people.

Magic Mouse will not scroll in Windows 7 boot camp, but works fine in Mac OS

I have a Magic Mouse that was working fine it would scroll and everything, then one day it just randomly stopped working in my Windows 7 bootcamp partiontion. I went to the Mac OS to see if there was anything wrong with the mouse, but it works fine in the Mac OS. I already made sure to install all available software updates but that doesnt seem to have helped. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

My wireless mouse is not recognized by Bootcamp bluetooth.
Have you been able to solve your mouse issue?

Keyboard and mouse no longer work when booting into Rhapsody

I still have a bootable partition with the last release of Rhapsody (aka Mac OS X Server) on my Power Mac G4 but it's been a while (years!) since I actually booted it up. The G4 also has bootable partitions with Mac OS X 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 (and is in daily use running 10.4.11).
I used to boot into Rhapsody occasionally, mostly for interest's sake, occasionally to test Unix software on legacy systems; I haven't tried to do so since installing 10.4 until now.
When I booted up from the Rhapsody partition today, all went well -- the system started up fine, and the login screen appeared -- but the keyboard and mouse no longer work. I even got out the original keyboard and mouse that came with the G4, with no luck.
I assume that recent firmware updates have bypassed support for Rhapsody. I guess I'm not surprised -- it was a developer-only release, after all. But has anyone a solution?

Adding to the above: I also tried plugging in an Microsoft USB keyboard at the point when Windows freezes at the Windows log-in screen. The keyboard is not recognized and the only way I can leave this screen is to power-off the computer.

Magic mouse no longer swipes

I'm lost as to why this has happened; it seems like a software problem rather than a hardware, but my magic mouse no longer swipes to go forward and backward between webpages.
Yes, the option is turned on in System Preferences. I've tried turning it off and on, to no avail.
Regular scrolling still works fine, which is why it leads me to believe its something software related.

Happened once to me. A restart of the Mac solved. Never occurred again.

APPLE mouse & keyboard not working with Windows (Bootcamp)

I installed Leopard and Windows XP on my Mac Pro. The installation went very smoothly. Only problem I have is that my Apple wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on Windows (frozen) although they work fine on Leopard. I tried a Logitech wireless trackball and it works fine on both Windows and Leopard. Any suggestion?

Thanks. I upgraded from Tiger and downloaded Bootcamp from Leopard Installation disc ( I did not have a beta version ). I then installed Windows XP SP2 ( brand new, just bought for that purpose ). Wonder if Mac wireless keyboard and mouse are compatible with Window. Everything else work beyond my expectation.
