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 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 - 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:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11491400&#11207285
    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.

  • 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 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

    I have the same issue. My MM works for a while until the comp goes into sleep or gets restarted.
    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.

  • 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.

  • Square Flickering around Mouse in Safari 4 topsites, World of Warcraft

    Ok, i'd love to be able to get a screenshot of this, but so far i've not managed it. what is happening is, in safari 4, on the topsite page, and in World of Warcraft, (only in windowed mode) there is a square flicker that follows my cursor. at the standard resolution on the screen, it is about the size of the side of a dice, and moves under and behind the path of the mouse. I have repaired permissions, reset the PRAM, re-installed both programs, to no end, the problem persists. i have not noticed it in any other windows or programs. has anyone else suffered this problem? or have any suggestions as to how to correct it? I would really like to fix it without having to do a full system re-install, as i do not currently have an extra drive to back up data to.

  • Cannot get Magic Mouse to work in Windows 7 64-bit using Boot Camp

    I recently purchased a Magic Mouse and installed it on the Mac OS X partition of my MacBook Pro. After successfully installing on the Mac side, I switched to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit using Boot Camp to install on the Windows partition. When I try to "Discover" a new Bluetooth device, the Magic Mouse does not show up in the list of devices (the mouse is powered on and next to the computer).
    I am using the most recent version of Boot Camp (3.0.2) and have updated Windows 7. Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, is there a fix for it?
    I appreciate any help!

    OK, that is a Bluetooth mouse so open Windows Devices and Printers>Add a Device Toggle the power (on the mouse) off and then on. he mouse should appear in the window, follow instructions to add it.

  • Magic Mouse and Windows 7: Discovered but will not Connect.

    Windows 7 (W7) can "Discover" the Magic Mouse (MM) but doesn't seem to be able to connect. Here is asolution.
    1. Turn Off your MM.
    2. Restart W7
    3. Connect a "Wired" USB mouse. (My Track Pad would not Right Click.)
    4. Open "Hidden Icons". (In the Right lower corner of your dispaly, in the "Tray" is a small "Triangle" icon. Mouse over this and you will see that this is the "Show Hidden Icons" icon. Click on it.)
    5. You should now see a Bluetooth icon. This is the "Bluetooth Devices" icon. Click on it.
    6. A Pop Up Menu appears. Click on "Add a device."
    7. Turn on your MM.
    8. Your MM should appear in the "Select a device to add to this computer." window.
    9. It will probably just say "Mouse" or "Bluetooth Mouse" If you have used your MM before on your Mac, it may display your Mac's "Short User Name". This means that W7 has "Discovered" your MM.
    10. Right Click on your displayed device.
    11. Click on "Add device..."
    12. Click on "Properties"
    13. Select/Click on the "Services" tab.
    14. Tick the "Box" for "Driver for mice, keyboard, etc. (HID)"
    15. Click "OK" and exit.
    Your MM should now work! Sort of!! Left & Right Click works and Up and Down scrolling works. Right & Left scroll does not.
    Also, you will note that your MM becomes "Inactive" after a few seconds of disuse. Just give it a single Left click to get it going again. I've posted a solution to this problem in another post.

    Thanks! That fixed my issues with my Apple bluetooth mouse and keyboard in Win7.

  • Magic Mouse and Windows 7: Wake up a Sleeping Magic Mouse

    For those of you who have managed to get your Magic Mouse (MM) working in Windows 7 (W7), you may have noted that the MM becomes unresponsive after a few seconds of not using it. This is a W7 "Feature" and not a "Bug". What is happening is the mouse has cycled into a "Power Saver" mode. You can re-activate the MM by giving it a single "Left Click". If having to do this every time you let the mouse sit idle for a few seconds in annoying to you, here is how to turn this "Feature" off.
    1. Click on "Start", (The circular Windows icon in the lower left corner of your display.)
    2. Select and open "Control Panel".
    3. Select and open "Device Manager".
    4. The Device Manager window displays a list of devices installed on your computer. If you can't see the list, click on the "triangle" to the left of the "Bootcamp" volume icon.
    5. Double Click on "Bluetooth Radios".
    6. Double Click on "Apple Built-in Bluetooth".
    7. In the "Apple Built-in Bluetooth Properties" window that opens, Click on the "Power Management" tab.
    8. Un-Tick the box that says "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
    9. Close everything up. I usually log off and log back in. You might also do a Restart.
    10. Done!

    Thanks! That fixed my issues with my Apple bluetooth mouse and keyboard in Win7.

  • Magic Mouse Guide for Windows 7 and Vista,,,

    Hello All,
    I recieved my Magic Mouse and it works great under OSX but I couldn't get it working under Windows at all. Searching here and around the web, I've compiled a guide on how I got it working. Hopefully, Apple will release proper drivers in the future but for now, here is what I did:
    Turn mouse off...if you have already tried installing, remove the device and then turn the mouse off. To remove it, open Start, type "Devices" and press enter. Select "remove device"...Now let's get started:
    1) Update the Bluetooth Driver.
    Open Device Manager.
    Start > (Right Click Computer) > Properties. Click Device Manager in upper left of this window. Double click (Bluetooth Radios), Right click on "Generic Bluetooth" and select "Properties". Open the Driver tab and then select "Update Driver". Click "Browse my computer for driver software". On the next screen, towards the bottom, click on "Let me pick from a list of device drivers...". Uncheck "Show compatible hardware". Select "Apple" and then "Apple built in bluetooth". Done
    2)In the notification area of the task bar, right click on Bluetooth icon and select "Add a device". Turn on your mouse. It will show up on screen. Right click on the mouse icon. Select Properties. Select the "Services" tab and check the "Drivers for keyboard, mice, etc". The mouse may disappear from the screen since it's been added. Windows is still looking for other devices so click "Cancel".
    3) Disable power management for Bluetooth Radio. Open device manager, open Bluetooth Radios and right click on "Apple Bluetooth". Select the "Power Management". Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
    4) Reboot computer. Mouse should be working in Windows 7/Vista now.
    * If you reboot and your mouse is still not working, click on the mouse two or three times. On my system, the mouse will not begin working until I do this, every time I boot my system. *
    Hope this helps,
    Al

    if you go to
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL952
    then download this package
    and extract the AppleWirelessMouse.exe or AppleWirelessMouse64.exe
    you then can run this on your windows PC and execute this
    this enables scrolling functionality of the Magic Mouse
    do not execute the downloaded file directly because it will tell you it doesn't run on this computer ( which is logical because of pc hardware =/= Mac hardware )
    i hope it works for everybody
    for me it does..
    it recognizes my Magicg Mouse and i now also have scrolling enabled

  • Magic Mouse wont close program or window when I left click.

    Hi,
    so I bought me a new set up iMac i7 with among others the magic mouse 3 months ago.
    Not everytime but quite frequently when I try to close a program or any kind of window, by left click the red button on top left corner, it wont work, nothing happens.
    Then I have to click somewhere outside that area and then go back to the red close button and it works.
    This is also present sometimes when I want to close a tab in safari by the tab cross-button.
    Anyone who has an idea of what the problem might be?
    At a first glance I thought it was a software bug, since it work when I click outside the red close button and then go back and it works.
    When it stops working it doesnt matter how many times I try, it just wont do until I click once outside the area.
    I also have a track pad but it works flawless!
    Thanks in advance for any hint into right direction!
    regards - Peter

  • Magic Mouse won't stay paired with booth Boot Camp and Windows 7

    So I have a Broadcom Bluetooth 2.1 dongle on Mac Pro 1,1, Lion, Boot Camp 3.3 and Windows 7 latest service pack and latest drivers/operating system. Everything is up-to-date.
    My problem started with Windows 7 not wanting to pair with mini alluminum keybord AND magic mouse. I followed a post somewhere and I was able to get the keyboard to pair and work when I switch between Lion and Bootcamp Windows 7 by removing it from Bluetooth Prefs in Lion, adding it to Windows 7 BC, and then adding it again in Lion.
    However, magic mouse will still work with onlly one: If I add it to Windows 7 and then restart to Lion, add it there and then restart in Windows, it shows as paired in Windows but it does not respond. I then remove it from Windows 7 and add it again, and it works. Then I reboot in Lion. It is on the list, but not connected. Even the option to connect is not available. I try restarting the mouse, no luck. The only way I can get it to work in Lion again, is to remove it and add it again. Now, I go back to Windows 7, It is there on the list, but it does not respond. In short, the Magic Mouse only seems to want to stay paired (or work) with either Win 7 or Lion. Getting it to work with one cancels the other.
    BTW, every time I pair it with Lion, I set it as a Favorite.
    Any suggestions?

    Some more info I have gleaned from my 13" white Core 2 Duo Macbook (not sure what generation - came with Tiger though). If I uninstall the Intel graphics drivers, the Sleep option is gone from Windows 7 but it will hibernate, and when resuming from hibernation the screen comes back on. However, when the Intel drivers are reinstalled the "screen off" problem is present for both hybernate and sleep. Two other data points: the power manager can't turn off the screen (after X minutes, etc) and I can't get any picture on an external monitor either. Just wanted to share.

  • Is Magic Mouse compatible with PC and Windows Vista

    Hello to everyone, I'm a new member of this forum, I hope someone will help me, please.
    I'm taking a look at the latest beautiful Apple's product and I felt in love with Magic Mouse, I'd like to have it for ma PC (not a Mac) with OS Vista.
    Is there anyboby who knows if this mouse is compatible with a Pc and Windows Vista OS?
    Actually I don't have bluetooth thecnology on my pc but if Magic Mouse were compatible I'd buy an usb adaptor.
    Thanks to everyone will help e!

    I asked a similar question a few hours back and no answers yet. I think nobody knows since nobody has had the chance to test them. If previous releases are any indication, you'll probably get basic functionality because it is bluetooth, but for the advanced features or setting options you'll have to wait for a Windows driver, which can sometimes take a few months or more.
