Magic Mouse Windows 7 Bootcamp 3.1

Can someone confirm whether or not the new Bootcamp Magicmouse drivers for Windows enable all the finger swiping features of the mouse? If not, exactly what is enabled?
Thanks in advance

Have you unchecked the box in Device Manager/Bluetooth/Apple Bluetooth/Properties/Power Management, where it says "allow computer to turn off this device to save power" ?
If you leave it checked (default) Bluetooth will turn off after a few minutes.
Re-reading your post I see yours doesn't work after a restart so may not be this problem. For some reason my bluetooth mighty mouse always needs a single left click after a restart, then it is instantly fine. If you try and move the mouse before clicking it won't move and looks like its not connected.

Why does Magic Mouse sleep in Bootcamp?

After several seconds it will act as if it has gone to sleep. A left click wakes it back up but it's such a nuisance that I may have to go back to my previous wired Apple mouse.

I could not get Bluetooth to connect correctly by letting Windows do the pairing automatically but had to assign four zeros as my code. I've had to do that on otter stubborn Bluetooth and Windows connections. Four zeros is a common set to get it done.
This report is on a Windows 7 Professional BootCamp. When I go back and forth between partitions both the Mac and Windows recognize the Magic Mouse. However the sleep condition on the Windows partition is driving me crazy. I may have to give it up ad go back to my past mouse. It kills productivity having to fight it every time you stop mouse activity for just a few seconds then have the left click to wake the mouse. gggrrrr

Magic mouse - Windows middle click?

Yet another topic on so called magic mouse, which seems not so magic now. Though I'd still love to buy it!
Anyway, I've been looking into it for days, and once MagicPrefs became available middle click issue for OS X was solved. However, both my work and studies require frequent use of Windows CAD applications (hope remains it will feature Mac versions one day), where navigating with middle button is essential.
I've tried to look through discussion boards, but didn't find anything similar to this. Thanks in advance!

<rant> This is a big deal, but not really being taken seriously. Apple hasn't even bothered to work it out in their own OS yet. Thanks @vladalexa [MagicPrefs], a developer from Romania, for the final decision on the 70$ purchase )@steve(. Otherwise, the native software cannibalizes too much of the hardware's built-in functionality to justify the investment. Virtual machines would solve this issue, but I just don't have the free hardware resources to accommodate the kind of software I run. </rant>
i don't care how )magicprefs for windows / other manufacturer's driver / whatever works!(, there needs to be support for middle click in windows )native, not virtual(. it's like have a scroll wheel that doesn't work on a 70$ mouse...
fingers crossed

Magic Mouse, Windows 7, World of Warcraft

I using Apple Magic Mouse on Windows 7. But I found there are some problems when I use this mouse play WOW.
1). Some time right click will stop auto-run.
2). When I didn't use mouse few second. The mouse will "sleep" for save power I think. I have to click mouse to wake it up. But it will make mistake sometimes. I have disable power management for Bluetooth Radio. But seems it still not work.
Anyone have the same problem?

Hello mjy78,
Just an FYI for you.
It is always best to check with the software manufacturer FIRST. They will tell you if they have tested the product and the version, as well as whether or not it will work with Windows 7.
Check out the Windows 7 Compatibility site: (There you will find out about hardware and software compatibility.)
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/en-us/default.aspx
There is a pulldown from which you can choose "hardware" and "software".
There are also some great articles, instructional videos and such to help with your Windows 7 at our Springboard site:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/default.aspx
In any event a lot of the times, Vista drivers will work in lieu of Windows 7 drivers, however, it's not 100%!
As stated previously, it's best to have the Windows 7 certified drivers installed.
Thanks again,
John M.

Magic mouse windows 7

I have a magic mouse and it works but everytime i restart my pc i need to remove my magic mouse in the devices and then reconnect it is there any way this can work just normal with bootcamps and stuff
Thanks
Rick

I realise this is an old post, pity no one answered it earlier, but I use VMWare 3 and Win 7 on my MacBook Pro. The Magic Mouse works just fine for l.mouse, r.mouse and scroll in VMWare/Win7 (also bootcamp - but I've given up on bootcamp and am just sticking with VMWare), but the gestures, (two finger swipes for back and forward) don't work. Also for some reason when you try to use CTRL+Left click to select multiple items (eg, multiple cell ranges in Excel) doesn't work, however, this can be often overcome by using command (the apple key)+Left click. In Excel however, Command+LeftClick works like CTRL+Middle click rather than CTRL+LeftClick. I'm about to post a request to see if anyone has solved this problem.

Magic mouse - windows 7 - one click is required

i have to click my magic mouse one time to make it working in windows 7 os.. is there any idea to eliminate this problem ?

It is not a 'problem' the Mouse 'sleeps' when you are not using it, the click wakes it up, otherwise the battery would go flat while you are not using it.

Pairing Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Magic Mouse Windows 7 64-bit

Evening Apple Forum!
I'm camping with a problem regarding the pairing of my two bluetooth devices: the bluetooth keyboard by Apple and the Magic Mouse in Windows.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit through Boot Camp 3.1.
I have tried pairing them as I normally would, turn on the device and then let the MacBook search for bluetooth devices. This, however, didn't work out for both the keyboard and the mouse.
After some searching in several forums, I wondered if I had to update the driver operating Bluetooth in general. I came to the conclusion this wasn't needed after checking the 'Device Manager' in Windows. The Device Manager displayed under 'Bluetooth Radios' two drivers:
- Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth
- Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator
This seemed fine.
After this, I read through a .pdf file regarding Boot Camp directly from Apple, which pointed me towards another method of pairing the bluetooth devices: the devices had to be turned off before or while the MacBook was searching and turned on again after that. Sadly this didn't do anything either.
I'm clueless, I have no idea whatsoever how to get this to work. This support forum is always a last resort for me because usually I can deal with a problem myself by basic knowledge or reading some forums. This isn't the case this time.
If anyone has an idea of how to pair these devices to my MacBook, feel free to reply.
Thanks!

I've found the solution here on the forum:

All I did was unpair my mouse on Mac and then pair the mouse on Windows 7 and finally re-pair the mouse on Mac. It worked perfectly. It seems that Windows 7 likes exclusivity.

I would like to purchase a Bluetooth Apple Magic Mouse to use on my new HP Windows 8.1 laptop. Will it work?

Would a Bluetooth Apple Magic Mouse work on my new HP PC laptop running windows 8.1? The laptop has bluetooth on it. I like the mouse and would like to have it bluetooth enabled on a PC laptop. Has anyone had any success with this? Thanks

It's not officially supported, but Google "magic mouse windows 8" for a variety of potential solutions.

anyhelp how i can get this code ? and any suggestion to make my mosue work in windows 7 i already updated to bootcamp drivers to the latest

Take a look at the bluetooth driver under device manager. You need to change the bluetooth driver.
Here is a detailed step-by-step from gloss over at macrumors. (Forum post: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=630024)
"Boot into Windows.
Click on the Bluetooth control panel, and go to settings. Under Hardware, it probably says 'Generic Bluetooth Adapter'.
Click 'Properties' and 'Change Settings'.
Go to drivers, and 'Update Drivers'. Have Windows look on your machine to find all available drivers ('Let me pick from a list')
UNselect 'Show Compatible Drivers'.
Look for 'Apple' in the manufacturer names, then select the Apple Bluetooth Driver. Install.
Once this is done, pair your keyboard through the wizard. It should now bring up a passcode and confirm it much more quickly than before."
Before the bootcamp 3.1 update the drivers were not very stable and required you to change back to the generic driver to not have the keyboard keep disconnecting.
You should not need the passcode, at least I didn't but the passcode should be 0000 (four zeros)
Good Luck!

HT1846 I have a windows 7, and i'm trying to make my Mac's Magic Mouse work on my PC... do i need to download this BootCamp? or should i install a driver especially made for Windows 7?

Is there any way that i can have my Magic Mouse to run on my PC (Windows 7)?
i am looking for drivers online, but i don't want to install something that Apple may not approve of. I'm sure if there were such a driver, then Apple would have provided it; unless i have missed something.

when one makes the bootcamp driver disc in bootcamp on osx it builds a cd with apple tested drivers for the hardware for windows

Magic Mouse still not connecting on Bootcamp 3.1 with Windows 7

I had windows 7 ultimate x64 running on Bootcamp the last few months and was thrilled to see that the last update would work with my shiny new magic mouse.
To my disappointment it didn't. I tried reinstalling the update (x64 version of it) a few times, and manually deleting the drivers related to bluetooth and mouse from the control panel so it would make a clean reinstall, but without any luck... I followed every instruction, rebooted a zillion times and still nothing.
It detects the mouse on bluetooth devices, it even knows it's mine (has my name on it), but keeps on trying to connect forever...
Anybody has this problem?

All,
Here's how I got it to work:
Go to Device Manager > Bluetooth Radios > Generic Bluetooth Adapter
Right click > Update Driver Software > "Browse my computer for driver software" > "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
Uncheck "Show compatible hardware"
Under Manufacturer select > "Apple Inc."
Select the "Apple Built-in BluetootDFU" and click "Next" a bunch of times.
Then, go to the Bluetooth Icon in the system tray or in the control panel. Turn off the Magic Mouse before you try to discover the device. It should do it's thing automagically and come right up after you turn the Magic Mouse back on.
At least these are the steps that worked for me.
The problem I'm seeing is that the mouse stops responding if you're not constantly moving it. I'm going to try the different Bluetooth adapters from "Apple Inc." to see which one works best.

Magic Mouse Middle Click Problem on Bootcamp Windows 7

Hi, I am using Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro via Bootcamp. My magic mouse working good but I need middle click for some design softwares. I found some softwares can simulate middle click but the softwares just running under Mac OS. Are there any Windows compatible software like Magicprefs or Middleclick?
Thanks...

Hello,
I have the same mouse and after searching a solution, I found this article:
http://superuser.com/questions/814156/hp-bluetooth-mouse-works-in-osx-on-macbook -but-not-in-windows-8-1-boot-camp
You only need to unpair the Mouse from your Mac System, Reboot to Windows Boot Camp and pair the Mouse...
Now you can pair again on Mac OS and "voilà", your mouse can now work's in both Systems...
For me, it works!

Pair Magic Mouse With Both OS X and Windows (BootCamp)

Hi everyone!
So the other day I setup bootcamp on my mac. I can now access windows but when I do, I have to first boot up OS X, disconnect my magic mouse then switch back to windows to pair it again. Is this supposed to happen because its really annoying.
Thanks!

FFor anyone with this issue I have found a solution here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/general-help/72201-dual-booting-windows-7-mac-mountain -lion-both-magic-trackpad-magic-mouse-bluetooth-setup.html

Have to delete Magic Mouse from MacOS to pair with Windows Bootcamp

Like many I couldn't get my Magic Mouse to pair in Windows when dual booting with BootCamp to Windows 8.1 on my 2012 MacBook Air.
Whenever I searched for bluetooth devices it wouldn't be found, or would sporadically appear but fail to pair.
The solution for me was to reboot into MacOS (where my mouse had already been paired, and automatically connected) and Delete (not disconnect) the mouse from Bluetooth settings.
Then when I rebooted back into Windows the mouse was detected under Bluetooth devices and could be paired.
I hadn't found this particular solution on the forums, and so thought I'd share.

Another follow up to this. I unpaired my Mac Mouse from Windows and gave it to a friend to try out on his Bootcamp MacBook Pro.
It unpaired from my Windows and re-paired to his Windows fine.
Then when he unpaired it from his Windows and gave it back, it wouldn't come up in the list of bluetooth devices for pairing on my Windows. It would in his though.
The solution was to boot back into MacOS on my laptop, where the mouse spontaneously connected, and delete it there. Then I could reboot back into Windows and find the mouse under bluetooth devices for pairing in Windows again.
This was despite not having logged into MacOS for over 6 months.
It's almost like the mouse reverted to being bound to the first device it ever paired with.

Magic mouse lagging or unresponsive when using bootcamp windows 7 on Mac Mini but works fine in Mac OSX 10.8.4

I updated the Apple Broadcam built-in bluetooth radio software through Windows and it found an update. Updated Boot Camp software/drivers to version 5.0.33, the latest which includes a wireless mouse piece. Replaced the batteries again and turn it off/on several times. In the Bluetooth menu, this mouse usually does not show up in connected devices or will not show up as a device that can be added. Once it did show up right after turning it off/on but took forever to connect then lost its connection right away and couldn't be discovered again.
I don't think drivers are the issue, seems to be some kind of conflict with wireless adapter & bluetooth maybe.
I found this which looked promising but no luck: http://kemal.co/index.php/2012/09/laggy-magic-mouse-boot-camp-windows/
Any ideas?
