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.

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,

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?

I paired magic mouse with my laptop in windows, but can't scroll, any solution ?

HOWTO: Magic Mouse in Windows XP Pro

This is easiest to do when you have another mouse already working with the system...
1. Install your bluetooth support and service packs for XP
2. Go to Bluetooth devices from your control panel or system tray
3. Connect the Magic Mouse and wait until the machine settles down.
4. Click Add..
5. Check my device is set up and ready to be found
6. Click Next
7. Click the device from the list - it should appear as the address of the mouse (looks like a Mac address)
8. Click Next
9. Don't use a passkey
10. Wait until the bubble appears saying to click here because a device is requesting your attention (or whatever it says)
11. Pass key is 0000
12. Click Next
13. Click Finish
14. Go back to Bluetooth devices
15. Click on the device from the list
16. Click Properties
17. Give the device a reasonable name (like Magic Mouse?)
18. Click Services tab
19. Check drivers for keyboard, mice, etc (HID)
20. Click Ok.
That should be it. This was not the first bluetooth device I added, so you may need additional steps to configure bluetooth to start with, but that it is out of the scope of this guide.
As you have probably read, the left and right mouse buttons work, but the touch features (such as scrolling) do not.
I suppose this should work in a VM system on OSX, if you have drivers to pass thru the machine's bluetooth functionality.
If you have followed this steps and can't get it to work, maybe Windows is too much for you and you should buy a Mac (I haven't tried it on my Air yet, but expect the process to be much easier than this.. but then again, I already love the Air touchpad, why would I spoil it with a mouse?)

If I boot directly from the BootCamp partition, MagicMouse is NOT recognized and no driver seems to be installed. If I run Win7 with VMWare Fusion from the BootCamp partition, MagicMouse runs just fine.
I have installed the BootCamp 3.1 update and a driver for the MagicMouse does not seem to have been installed. I would really like to see a standalone Windows Installer for the MagicMouse driver.
Apple's KB Article: TS3039 does not mention anything about Win7. "When using an Apple Magic Mouse with Microsoft Windows XP or Vista, vertical scrolling and two-finger swiping may not work."

Has anyone figured a way to use the Magic Trackpad with Windows 7 on a partitioned disc using Bootcamp?

Has anyone figured a way to use the magic trackpad with Windows 7 on a partitioned disc using Bootcamp?

Yes. After Windows/Bootcamp discovers your bluetooth device (Magic Trackpad or Mouse, be sure to make it discoverable), right click, with your wired mouse, of course, on the icon and select Properties.
Then check the mouse drivers box and your device should work. (I located this solution on another thread)
It works for both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad.
Must admit, the solution was not intuitive within the Windows environment. But we all must remember. It IS Windows, after all.
Another thing. Keep in mind that the gestures on these devices that work just dandy in OSX do not carry over into Windows.
It's Windows.

Magic mouse in windows

i have a MacBook Pro 17" and i am looking for a driver so that i can use my Magic Mouse with at least the scrolling. Is there something out there for me to download. I am using Bootcamp and running Windows XP Pro. some help would be great. or if not the magic mouse then just the track pad on the computer itself?

Using Magic Mouse under windows 7 (32/64)

Hello Apple;
it is my second issue after i solved the issue of duel OS (OSX & Win7), now every thing went good under win7 except the magic mouse, so when i open the Bluetooth and search the devices the system recognize the Magic mouse, but windows takes so long time connecting to Magic mouse, and finally it is not connected.
so how to solve this problem?

bluetooth connection is incredibly unreliable/intermittent when in Windows (I run Windows 7 64-bit and Boot Camp 4.0, and got both devices connected without any trouble via Bluetooth).
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4079148
After much testing, I have found the cause of lagging/jumpiness on the Bluetooth Magic Mouse and Magic TrackPad in Boot Camp.
Hopefully this will help others:
The drivers for the Broadcom 802.11n Wireless Adapter have a setting called "Bluetooth Collaboration" that is Disabled by default. Enabling this option removes the problem instantly.
My Magic Trackpad now works flawlessly, even if I stand 6 metres from the machine. It now works just as well as under Mac OS. The setting can be found under:
Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter (right click and choose "Properties".
Under the "Advanced" tab, highlight the setting named "Bluetooth Collaboration", then change it to Enable. Then click OK.
I narrowed the problem down to the wireless card by disabling ALL startup services and processes for Windows, then re-enabling one by one.
As soon as I enabled the Windows Wireless Service, the problem came back.
Similarly, disabling the Wireless Card inside the Network and Sharing Center (or Device Manager) removes the problem.
This led me to believe it must be a driver issue with the wireless card, since the problem didn't occur with the Magic TrackPad under Mac OS, or on my mother's Windows 7 64-bit computer.
So when I went into the Driver Properties to check for an update, I found this setting about Bluetooth Collaboration.
All Apple notebooks use the Broadcom card (and have done for years), so this driver is installed for almost anybody using Boot Camp on an Apple notebook. I'd assume this problem would affect anybody using Boot Camp + wifi + a Bluetooth device.

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?

How to run Magic Mouse under windows 8

I am trying to use my Magic Mouse under Windows 8... no luck.
before that, I was using the old Apple BT mouse... without any problems.
now windows does not recognizes the mouse.
any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
As mentioned in the link posted by Steve, you can check the setting of Data Execution Prevention.
And according to the following blog, some hardware features that Hyper-V does not utilize and enabling them will prevent Hyper-V from loading. (If your BIOS doesn't have this hardware feature, then igonre this part)

Disable in the BIOS)

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