Magic mouse software.

Sorry if this has been posted, but I can't find the answer. I have a Mac Pro with a blue tooth dongle attached. I just bought a magic mouse and it tracks, but the buttons don't work. It says that I have to update to software 1.0 I downloaded the software, but when I went to install it, it says that I have to have 10.6.2 or later. That version isn't out yet. Anyone else have this problem? How do I connect my new mouse? Any help would be appreciated/

I found this article...

not that it helps you out right now, but things appear to be in the works..

Is magic mouse software update necessary if you have 10.6.8

2009 iMac; OS 10.6.8
I just bought a Magic Mouse and successfully paired it. It seems to be working fine and the system pref is visible and configurable. I've read that one should download and install the software update 1.0. Is that so?

Here are some details on the initial launch of that update. It includes a link but reading the last paragraph my guess is that after OS 10.6.2, the update was probably incorporated into the OS.

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.

Alternative download site for Magic Mouse Software Update?

I've been trying for the last hour or so and cannot download the "Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0 for Snow Leopard" found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL950

Could you please fill out your profile better for us?
Just go over to the right, under "Welcome, Used to be k . . .".
Look at My settings, and then fill them out for us, so
that in the future, we'll have everything straight for helping you.
See where you can put in your computer model and OS?
Click "Save" when you're done filling it out.
Right now, you're settings are saying 10.4.9, which would have
required totally different advice.

Missing magic mouse software sought- do you know where it could be?

I purchased a new iMac with 27" inch screen over the weekend at my local Mac store. In the store you could set the mouse so that a tap and doubletap on the mouse surface would work to click and doubleclick the mouse.
Not so on my mouse! Options to activate tap to click are nowhere to be found under system preferences> mouse!
Could the Apple demo machines be using third party software? Is my system software install somehow deficient? I have checked for latest updates with software update and talked with Apple Tech Support without success. Using OS 10.6.2. Thanks for ideas...

Thank you for your comments Barry.
"Could the Apple demo machines be using third party software?"
The Apple Store iMac demoed to me by an Apple store employee had third party software. That was not a good idea!- without his identifying that the software being demoed, by all appearances a part of the Mac OS, was not a part of the deal.
So I will have to buy additional software to enable my new iMac to do what I thought it would be able to do, based on my visit and consequent purchase at the Apple Store. This is not good.
Apparently the software is called mouse wizard and is found at www.samuco.net
At least I do not have to take my new iMac in for repairs!
Best regards, thought you might be interested in my findings,

Magic mouse - certain items don't respond to click!

I've had no problem with my Magic Mouse ever - Model MB829/LLA
Am running Imac with OS 10.5.8.
Today I saw a Magic Mouse Software update listed in Software Updates and innocently
enough I chose to install it.
Upon restart the Mouse will click and select items, but there is no response to the
command invoked by that 'click' - ON CERTAIN ITEMS. Also it will click on and
allow drag and scroll down say, a pop up menu, but for example when i click on the
minimize or close button on a window, it may or may not respond - The wired mouse
operates fine doing the same event. The new "Mouse" preferences pane also gives
no option - at least that I can see- for choosing which "side" of the front end of the
mouse, if that makes any sense...-per screenshot. THe wired old Gateway mouse
i'm using right now still works normally btw. Any help or idea of what i'm missing here?
Thus far, not an improvement. Thanks!
Mike

Just adding another weird anomaly going on with it. If I simply click on the finder window it displays this(screenshot below) dialogue box.
Now if i select one of the items it will perform the action of opening a new window but...for example, i can't DRAG anything to/from the
new window it opened... or click/select certain items in this dialogue box. There's no response...well it's varying with different commands.
Very very strange

Magic Mouse Scroll Fail

Hi,
I have just bought a Magic Mouse, and am trying to install it. My MBP recognizes it, I can move the cursor and have use of the buttons, however I cant scroll. At All.
When I go into System Preferences>Mouse, I only have two sliders, Tracking Speed & Double Click Speed. When I click on 'Setup Bluetooth Mouse' it just says 'No Mouse Found' while the searching wheel continuously spins.
Im running Snow Leopard, and my previous Mighty Mouse worked fine until the scrollball called it quits, which is why i bought a new magic mouse, which doesnt scroll.....

If you are running 10.6 like your profile says, you need the Magic Mouse Software Update for Snow Leopard.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL950
The link above requires you to have 10.6.1 before installing the update so you might want to just move up to 10.6.2
You can update your machine to 10.6.2 and change your profile also.

No Scrolling on the Magic Mouse 10.5.8

I have installed my new magic mouse and have 10.5.8. All functions work except for the scroll feature. I ran all software updates but this is not working. The video about the magic mouse leads me to believe that I have to have Snow Leopard. Is this true? When I go to system preferences and click on Mouse, I can only adjust the tracking and clicking speeds, no options for the scroll feature. I'm sure there is an easy solution for this one.......

This thread should help. Note the link at the top for the Magic Mouse software is incorrect you need to go here

Cant use scroll on magic mouse

I just bought the mouse and set it up exactly how it said to. The mouse clicks and moves on the screen but the touch features do not work. I have OSX 10.5.8 and i put the magic mouse software update 1.0 on, but it still does not work. The system preferences window also does not show the same options that are on the instructions. Any help Please??

Note that the update doesn't take affect until after you boot. If you rebooted and it doesn't work, try the update again from here.

Simple directions for setting up a new magic mouse?

Have the original mouse, which keeps losing its connection. I am replacing it with a brand new Magic Mouse and have looked all over for directions to connect with with my MAC, discontinue the original mouse, and start using the new one. I have checked all my updates and downloaded the most current magic mouse software. A pop up says there is a new version of the download already loaded, but I can't find it.
Can someone tell me if I really need a new mouse and can help me correct my connection loss on my orginal mouse or help me, step by step, to connect the new one? Thank you all.

Reset the PRAM to see if that helps the old mouse.
Setting up the new one should be turn it on and it should pair.
Barry

I know that I am not the first one, but again troubles with the magic mouse

Perhaps somebody can help me?
I still have troubles connecting my magic mouse with a Mac Pro (Mac OS 10.6.4). The same mouse works fine with my Macbook (again with 10.6.4). I uninstalled all the additional mouse software that I previously installed (Logitech) and installed the magic mouse software, but it is always only recognized as an Apple wireless mouse, no matter what I do.
Any ideas what to do?

The window could be opening off screen.

Magic Mouse Unresponsive since battery replacement

So yesterday my Magic Mouse suddenly started losing its connection ("Connection Lost" icon displayed and MM would not move cursor) with annoying frequency. Its indicator light and laser were lighting up, but I finally had to stop using it. Last night I left the MacBook installing the Magic Mouse software upgrade and the ITunes upgrade. This morning the first thing on my MacBook was a "Magic Mouse Batteries Critically Low" message. Hmmm....that must have been why the MM was losing its connection!
Sadly, after replacing the batteries and moving the on-off switch to "on," the indicator light does not light up. Yes, I've checked to make sure the the + ends of the batteries are in the right place and yes, I've tried a different pair of batteries. The MM battery compartment cover seems to be latched back into place properly. In the Bluetooth preference pane the MM still shows as "paired" but obviously it is not "connected" and cannot be "found."
The MM is only a couple of months old so this is the first time I have had to replace the batteries. Did I do something that killed the MM? Any suggestions to revive it? Is suddenly starting to lose connection every few minutes a symptom that the MM is on its last legs?

I, too, am having the same issues. Also changed the batteries, twice. Scrolling and clicking works, but cursor refuses to move.

Magic Mouse Troubles After Software Update

I am having trouble with my magic mouse after a software update. I am using Lion (I think) 10.7.5. My trouble is that when I shut down my Mac, my magic mouse doesn't work until after I log in. I can't click on the user with the magic mouse; it simply doesn't work until after I log in. So I have to plug in my corded mouse and click on the user, type in my password, and then the magic mouse works again. This has only become a problem since I cannot type in a username and the users are now buttons/icons on the screen. Are there any fixes to this, or just have to deal with it? Okay, I did just notice I can use the arrow keys on my keyboard to go between users. Still, this is not an automatic thought that comes in my head when I see buttons/icons to click on. I want to automatically use the mouse. So if there are any other fixes beyond keyboard arrows, I would appreciate input. Thank you!!!

For those a little less into do it yourself I just found Mouse Wizard:
http://www.samuco.net/web/node/23
I will say that when I downloaded the demo the center button didn't work, but a very quick & courteous reply from their tech support suggested:
In terminal, can you try entering this command: "rm ~/Library/Preferences/.MagicalWizard.plist". Then, relaunch MouseWizard.
I did this & now I have center button nirvana! (Mouse Wizard also supports a version of the squeeze button (they call it fourth button) and squeeze/bloat gestures.)
So far so good--it's made me much happier with my magic mouse.

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.
Karen

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.

Falta ao Magic Mouse compatibilidade de hardware para o terceiro click! Aplicativo consome muito processamento da CPU. Haveria como a Apple tornar este um gesto padrão?

Caros,
Existem diversos programas que utilizam o terceiro click como atalho de comandos, principalmente os de criação e edição em 3D.
Estes atalhos realmente aumentam a produtividade do trabalho no software: zoom, orbit, pan, etc...
Entretanto, após adquirir um Apple Magic Mouse tenho de me abster de usar estes atalhos, causando uma grande lentidão na produção.
Tentei instalar aplicativos que fazem a interpretação de outros gestos no mouse a fim de suportar tais interações.
Entretanto, há o consumo de quase 10% da carga da CPU nesta tarefa! Não há condições de trabalho com os diversos "soluços"do sistema, além de que estes aplicativos falham na interpretação constantemente, tornando a solução inaceitável.
Acredito que com uma adoção via hardware do terceiro click, com um gesto nativo do próprio mouse, traria grandes benefícios para todos que utilizam este Magic.
Alguém sente falta, ou sou apenas o único?!
