Magic Mouse with 2 iMACs

How can I prevent a Magic Mouse on a new 27" iMac in another room to stop moving the cursor on my iMAC? Is there a pref. that needs set? As I know this isn't happening in the Apple Store, but it sure is at my home office! Please help.

Welcome to the Forum.
Make sure the other mouse doesn't show up as a device in your Mac. Turn off discoverable in BT preferences. That should stop it.

  • Help magic mouse with imac early 2006 (4,1)

    Hello i have a problem with my new magic mouse, the mouse lost connection frequently. The old mighty mouse work correctly 100%.
    I tried delete the bluetooth preference and start imac with DVD leopard and snow leopard (the mouse don't work in installation gui because lost connection).
    This is a known bug? How can i fix it?
    Thanks

    If you have read my post, I can only recommend -
    1) shut everything down and disconnect your Mac at the wall socket, wait about a minute, then plug back in and restart; then
    2) remove the batteries and press the silver connector buttons in the battery compartment a few times, replace the batteries, reconnect using the Bluetooth Preferences panel, and
    3) repair 'Permissions' using Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities/DIsk Utility)
    I don't know if this works but I did all these and the problem has gone away. It least I haven't had the problem for the last ten or so hours now, so there you go.
    I think the answer is in either 1 or 2 above, maybe both.

  • Apple Magic Mouse from iMac to PC

    Hi there! I'm going to purchase new iMac 2011, but for the first week or two I can't use it for some reason (it's a present and I don't wanna show it). But I got my PC mouse broken so can I use iMac's magic mouse with my PC somehow?

    I don't think it will work, here is what Apple says it's requirements are:
    System Requirements
    Mac computer with Bluetooth wireless technology
    OS X v10.5.8 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0* or OS X v10.6.1 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0
    Existing keyboard and mouse for setup
    Two AA batteries (included)

    No, it can take input from the screen or keyboard.

    Sorry, but no. Because the iPad does not have a cursor for you to use the mouse with.

  • Magic Mouse with FCPx or Magic Trackpad or both?

    I've been using the trackpad with FCPx for sometime, it works well but sometimes it's nice to use the mouse. Was wondring if the Magic Mouse would be better, anyone using the Magic Mouse with FCPx and prefer it as apposed to the Matic Trackpad

    I'm a fan of the MTP!
    e.g. scrolling thru the timeline by just 'wiping' on the pad is great.
    plus, the OS-gestures to switch windows/screens is very helpful, e.g. I'm using QuicktimePro to select only short parts of longer files, import those to FCPX - so screen#1 is FCPX, screen#2 is QTpro, screen#3 Pixelmator (to create 'live' graphics for my project) ...... very ... handy < pun intended > 
    have you seen this method?

    I suggest that you request this feature, as I have, at Apple's feature request site. Maybe if enough of us request this it will come in a future iOS release.

    If your Windows computer has Bluetooth built in, then you cause your Magic Mouse with the computer, but you won't be able to use any of the multitouch gestures.

  • Using Apple Magic Mouse With Windows 7 64 bit and Parallels Desktop 8 questions

    I will be getting an iMac in the coming months and installing Parallels Desktop 8 and Windows 7 64 bit.
    I was wondering if I would have the functions of been able to left click, right click, scroll (preferably vertically but also occasionally horizontally) with the Apple Magic Mouse when I'm running Windows 7 through Parallels Desktop 8?
    I just wondered if anyone has installed Parallels Desktop 8 and Windows 7 and have you been able to do what i mentioned above and also have you come across any other issues, problems whilst using the Apple Magic Mouse on the Windows side?
    If there is any problems/issues with doing the above, is there anything I will need to do to get the above functionality to work?
    Thanks in advance.

    - leftclick and rightclick is working
    - i miss the middle button in my cad-software
    The same with the trackpad!
    Sometimes scrolling is a bit too fast, becuase Win 7 isn't made to use with the Magicmouse or trackpad.
    The only thing i miss / doesn't work ist the middle mouse button!
    Thanks very much for the help stz-42 its much appreciated.
    Providing I can left click, right click, scroll, then that's OK for me as I will be spending the vast amount of my time on the Mac side.
    Are you able to scroll both horizontally and vertically when using Parallels 8 Win 7 64 bit on your iMac?

  • Issue: Magic Mouse from iMac 27"

    My Magic Mouse is having a will of it's own.
    If I'm reading a pdf, then at a random point the view is scrolled back to the beginning. Sometimes even without my hand touching the mouse.
    It's the same with watching videoclip in Quicktime. Half way through and suddenly the playhead is back to start.
    It's anoying when studying homework or movies at i.e. lynda.com. The flaw is both with content on the web like from lynda.com or on my iMac 27".
    I tried to update the driver to the Magic Mouse from apple.com but when installing I was informed that a newer version was already nested in my computer.
    I hope the will be a fix for this soon, because this bug is disturbing my work flow as a multimedia designer.

    I don't think it will work, here is what Apple says it's requirements are:

  • Lost connection between Magic Mouse and iMac

    My Magic Mouse is constantly losing the bloototh link with the iMac. I read in some forums that this bug is frequent with Mac OS X 10.6.8 but I haven't found any answers. BTW, batteries are not the problem since I have already tried it with several new batteries.
    Could anyone please give me a solution to it?
    Thanks!

    Paul,
    I don't think you did anything wrong.  I think it was just "one of those things".  Things should be OK now.
    Give a shout if they aren't.

  • Magic Mouse with Windows 7 Boot Camp

    I get that this discussion has been posted here and on other forums throughout the web. I still don't get it. My Magic Mouse works when I use Mac, but when I use Boot Camp Windows 7 Professional 64-bit I can't get it to install. The number 2 step people keep saying is "right click" on the magic mouse. Do I right click the actual mouse or the magic mouse icon? Also, how do I right click if the Mac I have only has the pad? I'm new to Mac's and tried clicking the right side of the pad and nothing different happens.
    I'm really bad with computers so if someone can break it down as easy as possible I would much appreciate it.

    NotGood,
    Can you help those of us who are still struggling with this issue, by explaining what you did?
    Thanks,
