Magic Mouse works in Windows 7 x64... Until Reboot

So I've tried every troubleshooting solution I could find and after hours of fiddling around, and I finally got the Magic Mouse to work in Win 7 x64 (Boot Camp). However, after rebooting it no longer worked. I have downloaded the drivers listed on Apple's website and did the extract 64 bit version. I am using Boot Camp 3.0, so "Generic Bluetooth" is not listed in the Device Manager... only the correct Apple Bluetooth Radio is listed. The steps I went through to get the Magic Mouse up and running the first time are kind of a blur, but I believe they went something like this:
1. Uninstalled Magic Mouse and Apple Bluetooth drivers from Device Manager
2. Let Windows find new hardware and reinstall
3. Chose to search for Bluetooth devices > Right Clicked Magic Mouse > Checked HID Mouse (or something similar) in Services tab
4. Windows installed drivers and mouse worked. Magic Mouse was listed as Bluetooth HID instead of Apple Wireless Mouse (which I've seen before)
Tested this configuration out and everything seemed to be working great. However, I rebooted my system, ensured I didn't have any issues in Mac OS X (which I didn't) then booted back into Windows. At this point, the mouse no longer worked. I noticed in the Device Manager that there were 2x Bluetooth HIDs listed instead of the one I saw earlier. When I displayed the Bluetooth devices, the Magic Mouse was listed with a yellow exclamation point. I attempted to disable each and reboot to see if one was conflicting with the other, but it did not resolve the issue. Anyone know why this is happening or what I can do to get this mouse working?

Just to update... I can now add the mouse each time I load up Windows. I just need to uninstall any Bluetooth HIDs located in the Device Manager and remove the mouse from the list of bluetooth devices. However, each time I reboot into Windows, the first thing that happens is it install another Bluetooth HID. During the login screen the mouse is unresponsive and when going into the device manager after a reboot there is always two of the same Bluetooth HIDs listed. This seems to be the problem during the startup but how do I stop Windows from installing the same device twice?
I have also attempted to install the 64bit drivers supplied on the website and the mouse changes from Bluetooth HID to Apple Wireless Mouse. Once it finishes installing, the mouse no longer works. I have to repeat the steps and uninstall the Apple drivers to get it to work again

    you don't mention what mac you have because I suspect that the bluetooth driver for windows only support 1 input at the time over bluetooth

    so youre telling me all i gotta do is install the lastest bootcamp updates and thats it? its compatible?
    what about a non mac computer like a sony vaio for example, does it work there?
    Yes, it is compatible with Windows via Boot Camp on your Mac. I have been using it ever since it had come out. I love it! It has proved to be the best mouse that I have ever used.
    As for using it with a Sony VAIO, it will not work unless you have the specific drivers. At best, you will get limited functionality.

  • I have boot camp in my mac to use autocad. Can I use the magic mouse on my windows side and use it to work in autocad?

    I have boot camp in my MacBook Pro to use AutoCAD. Can I use the magic mouse on my Windows side and use it to work in AutoCAD?

    Yes and no. The gestures wont work so it just becomes a regular scroll-wheel mouse.

  • ITunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64

    iTunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64.
    Getting the following error message:
    Home sharing could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the account "iTunes account." Please authorize this computer and try again.
    This is a bug since my computer is authorized in iTunes and there is only 2 computer authorized for my iTunes account, so I have 3 more left till I should get this message.
    I've just upgraded my iPhone to OS 3.1 using it this morning.
    Please advise.

    I am using Windows 7 x64.
    I am running iTunes 9.0.2.25
    I am running Mcafee.
    I can see and play music from the iTunes installation on my Windows 7 machine, but I CANNOT access the library to copy songs from this computer to other computers on my network.
    YES, I have enabled "Home Sharing" using my iTunes account. NO, I have not authorized more than 5 computers on this account.
    I believe this to be a Windows 7 related issue, as Home Sharing worked as advertised when I was using Vista (before I upgraded to Windows 7).
    I CAN set up Home Sharing on two other (host) computers in my home network and it works. These computers are XP and a MacBook Pro. I CANNOT access my Windows 7 machine x64 to COPY music from one autorized library to another. Please help!!!
    P.S. - I have attempted to get this to work by turning OFF my McAfee firewall. Windows firewall is disabled.

  • Will the Apple Magic Mouse work with my Mac Mini?

    Hi
    I have a mid 2007 Mac mini — the Model 2,1 — running Mac OS X Snow Leopard, 10•6•8
    I’m thinking of treating myself to the Apple Magic Mouse, or Trackpad.
    Will the Magic Mouse, work with this model and version of the OS … ?
    (I’m ALSO told I need to have Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0: how do I go about checking that I do … ?)

    I'm not sure about the 2007 mini, but a quick check is to open your system preferences and look for Bluetooth preferences.  If there aren't any, then no magic mouse for you...

  • Magic Mouse worked for over a year, now no scroll no right click

    All of a sudden, in my 15" powerbook, no new software installed (only Software Updates and Flash update), all the Systems Preferences rechecked, no USBOverdrive. Tried all the suggestions in various communities/ Google, no change. Seems it's a problem shared by many.
    Strangely enough, with my iMac 20" Magic Mouse works perfectly. Has anyone found a fix?

    if you have had a few replacement HH3s and still the same problem then it is unlikely all of the HHs have the exact same fault so maybe you need to look nearer to home in that there is something causing interference to your wifi signal
    have you tried moving the router to a different location to see if that makes any difference?

    The above question. Will I have to download any extra drivers? Is the MM really that bad? Thanks.

    Officially...No: http://www.apple.com/mightymouse/specs.html
    In reality... probably. Why would you want it anyway? There are many many better mice out there.

  • Is apple's magic mouse compatible with windows that has Bluetooth?

    Is apple's magic mouse compatible with windows that has Bluetooth?

    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.

    Hi,
    Please also check Event Viewer if it identify this problem.
    In addition, also check Device Manager, if similar driver already installed, try to uninstall them and reinstall new driver again for test.

  • Does Magic Mouse work with ipad air?

    Does Magic Mouse work with IPad Air?

    Yes, it is a Bluetooth device. However, my iPad will not connect to the mouse.  Not sure why.
    I use my iPad as my personal computer. Mainly for surfing the web, social media, paying bills online... I already have a Bluetooth keyboard that connects to the iPad, so thought it would be nice to have a mouse.

  • Help -- Getting my Audigy Pro 4 RM-1500 working in windows 7 X64

    @Help -- Getting my Audigy Pro 4 RM-500 working in windows 7 X64. To anyone who can help
    ?I used the latest version of daniel_k's most excellent drivers to install?my Audigy Pro 4 ?(with external box) on a Windows 7 X64 operating system and all the audio devices I have tested so far have worked great.
    However, I can't seem to get the rm-500 remote working. I have installed the lasted (0/30) version of mediasouce5;? and the drivers for my remote do not seem to be included.
    The closest I can come is the beta version of the vista entertainment center which does install a remote control settings configuator. However, it doesn't seem to recognice the Audigy Pro 4's version of the rm-500, even though it is listed as an option. I get a "can't find an ir device" error.
    Any suggestions for me as to how I can get it working, if it all?
    Much Thanks!

    D When I was beta testing Windows 7, I had the same problem with my remote for X-Fi Platinum Fatalty Champion. I discovered a program called Intelliremote (just Google it) that worked great. It works with Creative remotes. I found for some reason the beta driver of entertainment center, in compatibility mode, works with the final version of Win 7. I hope this hel

  • 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

  • Bluetooth not working in Windows 7 x64

    Hi,
    My MBP is primarily used as a Windows 7 x64 box. Up until a couple of days ago, I've been using a bluetooth Logitech mouse and pairing with my iPhone without any problems. Two days ago, the mouse simply stopped working and I now cannot detect any Bluetooth devices from within Windows. Nor can my iPhone detect my MBP. The mouse works fine in Snow Leopard, however. Things I've tried so far include:
    * Changing the batteries on the mouse
    * Full power off, leave for a couple of hours, and back on again
    * Resetting the PRAM
    * Unpairing the mouse in Snow Leopard, then trying again in Windows
    * Uninstalling all Bootcamp drivers and services, then reinstalling Bootcamp 3.0
    * Updating to Bootcamp 3.1 and then 3.2
    * Swapping the Bluetooth radio driver from the Apple Broadcom Built-In Bluetooth to the Broadcom Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
    * Removing all hidden and absent devices from within Device Manager
    * System Restore (failed, for some reason)
    * Installing the WIDCOMM / Broadcom Bluetooth driver set from an installer for an Asus laptop.
    About the only thing I haven't done is a full re-install of Windows 7, but I'm really keen to avoid that if I can...
    Oh ... this did happen before, sort of. Bluetooth mouse simply stopped working. I could discover the mouse, but Windows couldn't connect. I put it down to the mouse itself and bought another one, which worked fine. A few weeks after that, the mouse stopped working again. The Bluetooth radios section in Device Manager was missing completely. Rebooted into Snow Leopard and it seemingly couldn't find the Bluetooth hardware either. Booked an appointment with the Genius bar, drove down, turned it on ... and everything worked fine.
    Any ideas?

    Check if your bluetooth is working under mac os - I had the same problem. When it's working under mac os then it's working under w7 64, too.
