(Mighty) Mouse with Windows7 and BootCamp

Hi,
I am trying to get my Mighty Mouse running on Windows7 using Bootcamp. I have read several threads but it still does not work!
What is more problematic: I am using my old USB mouse from my Quicksilver mac (a "Pro Mouse" - transparent look), and even here I cannot manage to get the right click enabled properly...
When I click on the "Add Bluetooth device" button in the system settings, the mighty mouse is found, but the installation is not finished and I am not able to right click on it (because of the problems with the existing USB mouse), in order to change some settings of it ... if that would be possible..
Any ideas?
PS:
iMac (2007), Snow Leopard, BootCamp says version 4.0 (from Windows System Control)

Found some hint in the web that fixed my issue:

It seems as if I really had to remove the mouse in MacOS from the bluetooth device list.

Bluetooth Mighty Mouse & Windows XP using Bootcamp

Are there plans to add functionality for the bluetooth mighty mouse in Windows XP using bootcamp??
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7) I run Bootcamp, as well as OS X

I was able to get it to work in Windows XP. I was not using Boot Camp since I have a IBM ThinkPad T41p, but it should work the same.

Hello everyone   I wonder if you can advice me.   I got myself a Power PC G5 which is bluetooth enabled but has no bluetooth antenna.   Can I still use a magic or mighty mouse with it? OR do I need an antenna?   Many thanks

Mighty mouse with two computers

Is there a way to pair a Mighty Mouse with two computers and to them switch back and forth between them easily? I realize I could unpair from one and then pair with the other, but I’m trying to use a Mighty Mouse in lieu of a KVM switch with a wired mouse.

Yes and no. It all depends on the device, and I can't speak from experience when it comes to the Mighty Mouse, but I can speak from experience with other Bluetooth devices.
You can pair a device with multiple computers, but you cannot use it with multiple computers simultaneously. When switching, you'll have to tell your computer to disconnect from the mouse before the other computer can connect to it. Since we're talking about a mouse, reconnecting the mouse might be a little tricky, if you want to use only one. Perhaps adding something like an Optimus Mini Three (or similar HID) with an AppleScript attached to one of the buttons to trigger mouse reconnection could work.
There are software based solutions to your problem, enabling you to connect any HID (Human Input Device) to your computer, and then use a virtual KVM over the network. I've seen a few pieces of software like this in the Apple Downloads Database, but I don't know if they're free.

Problem with Windows7 and Adobe Flash freezing computer?

Hello All, There is a problem with Windows7 and my Adobe Flash causing my computer to freeze. So, Skype, videos, etc will not work. Have tried many things to solve problem. Can Oracle VM be used to run a different operating system...such as XP or Vista where Flash will work properly? I would hate to have a new operating system installed on a new computer. thanks

If you mean Oracle VM VirtualBox, then yes, definitely. A free download, it installs and runs great on Windows 7. http://www.virtualbox.org/

Trouble with Windows7 and Gigabit link on Cisco 3560X switch

Hello,
In my company, we are using Cisco IP Phones 7945G (with 2 gigabit network ports) and Cisco 3560X-48P (1GB ports) switches for our users.
Our client computers are running on Windows 7 SP1 (64bit - Enterprise edition) and are connected behind the IP Phone. We use a "Boradcom
Xtreme Gigabit" onboard network card on the computers. All ports (on the switch site and IP Phone side) and on the network card of the computer are configured in "auto negotiation". Duplex and speed are set to "auto".
We tried now to deploy a new engineering software and we are facing a very strange problem. This means that the engineer software fails to download some files from the server. We are using a flat network, all the servers and computers are on the same network segment with no firewall inbetween.
The firewall and Anti-virus on the computers are configured to allow all incoming/outing connections.
To troubleshoot, I tried to change all the network cables but I still get same result --> download fails.
I connected the client computer directly to the Cisco 3560X switch, without the IP Phone and I get the same result.
I installed a separate network card from INTEL (Intel PRO1000 PT) but I get the same result.
As last test, I have connected to same client computer directly to a Cisco 2960-8TC switch (100Mbit; auto negotiate) and here is working fine. The software successfully downloads all the files from the server.
If I connect the computer behind the Cisco 7945 IP Phone, set the speed and duplex of the PC-Port on the Cisco IP Phone 7945G to "100MBit/full duplex" is also working fine.
Is there any know issue with Windows7 and Gigabit network connections?
Do I need to set any Registry key on my Windows 7?
The firmware version of my Cisco 3560X-48P switch is 12.2(53)SE2; do I need to update it?
The firmware version of the IP Phone 7945G is 9.2.1.
Thanks in advanced for your help.
Marc Hoffmann

Hello, Thanks for your answers. First of all, I have updated the firmware of my Cisco Catalyst 3560X-48P switch to the version 12.2(55)SE5. Unfortunately, this did not solve my problem. As second step, I ran an TDR test on my 3560X switch but I do not get any result. The "Pair status" always says "not completed". Even if I wait for 5 minutes, the status remains at "Not completed". Am I doing something wrong ? To do the TDR test, I use the commande "test cable-diagnostics tdr interface gigabitEthernet 0/XY". For your information, the port gigabitEthernet 0/XY is in a "Connected" status when I run the "show int status" command. Jeff, I think there is no issue on the server side, because if I connect my workstation on a 100MB switch (example Cisco Catalyst 2960-8TC-L) the application works absolutely fine. Also, if I run the application locally on the server, it works fine. As next step, I will connect the workstation directly on our backbone switch and try the same test. Is there perhaps any Registry key in our Windows7 which could cause this trouble? If you have any other ideas or options, please let me know. Thanks a lot, Marc Hoffmann

I'm having problems with Windows7 and latest itunes

There seems to be a compatibility issue with Windows7 and the latest version of itunes. The app will initailly launch when you boot up the pc, but if you exit and try to relaunch the app it dos not respond. I've installed an older version and it seems to work fine.
Any ideas?

Here's an explanation of what those processes are.

I'm curious about what you did to uninstall just those.

How To Quesiton Re: Using Wirless Mighty Mouse with Windows PC

I would like to use my wireless Mighty Mouse with my work PC. I need some type of wireless dongle but have no idea what type or brand. Could anyone suggest one that has worked for them?
The PC I will be using at work is running Windows 7.
Thanks !
Chuck :- )

The Mighty Mouse utilizes Bluetooth for wireless connectivity, thus any standards compliant Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR dongle should work. Here is a link to one that should work great:

Difference between Apple Mighty Mouse MB112LL/A and MB112LL/B?

What's the difference between the wired Apple Mighty Mouse MB112LL/A and MB112LL/B?

I did a search for "MB112LL/A" on the Apple support website:
[http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search&product=&q=MB112LL/A]
As you can see, it comes up in several pages giving information about the Mac Mini and MacBook, where it's given as the part number for the Apple Mouse in the "Options" section, under "Configure-To-Order." A search for MB112LL/B turns up no results of this sort.
Furthermore, the Apple Online Store sells the /B part but not the /A part. So it seems logical to assume that the /A is offered only as a CTO part, and the /B is a standalone part.
Like I said, I'm not sure that the difference is the configure-to-order status. It's just an educated guess.

AVRCP Buetooth issues with Mighty Mouse interference (?) and SONY CMT-HX5BT

Hello:
Just got a SONY Bluetooth enabled mini stereo system (CMT-HX5BT). Knowing my iMac with OS X 10.4 doesn't support AVRCP Bluetooth (another issue entirely!) I downloaded the Softstick Audio Gateway for Mac. This will allow me to play my iTunes music on the SONY stereo. However, when the Mighty Mouse is switched on, the playback is exceptionally fragmented and almost non-existent except very short bursts. When the MM is switched off everything works wonderfully.
I am hoping that whomever is responsible for BT in general did think that BT Mice would be used at the same time as stereos/headphones. Hopefully this is an issue with something other than BT in general such as Softstick, the MM, or OS X. Any ideas?
Does anyone think upgrading to Leopard, and using the operating system's built -in AVRCP support be better than a third party application? Although I haven't found conclusive proof that OS X 10.5 actually has AVRCP support either. Does this mean Logitech will be getting my business as I switch back to a regular radio frequency cordless mouse?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks for your answer, no problem... it's OK
why don't you try with OS X 10.5... I guess the A2DP is built in Leopard (natively)
Today I saw the CMT-HX5BT at the local shop, they obviously have no clue about its functionality with a Mac, but that mini hifi looks great and it's not even that expensive...
maybe I should buy it anyway...

Windows 7 and Wireless Mighty Mouse, Wireless Keyboard and sound problem

Hi,
I just installed Windows 7 x64 Ultimate on my iMac 24" white ( OS X Leopard 10.5 ). Surprisingly, it installed without any problems. The only problems I have now are the Wireless Mighty Mouse and the Wireless Keyboard ( alu ).
After I installed Windows I inserted the Leopard Instal DVD and installed Boot Camp. I got a message right away saying that: "This program has known compatibility issues...". I clicked Run program and continued. Soon I got the same warning, but this time not for Boot Camp, but Intel Chipset Device Software. I clicked Run program yet again and it continued installing. Then I got a different warning: "Service KeyAgent' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." I clicked Ignore and installation continued. I got another "Service Mac HAL' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." warning, clicked Ignore again and after that it finished soon and I restarted the computer.
When I came back into Windows there was no Apple folder anywhere or any sign that I have just installed Boot Camp ( should there be? )
I installed Boot Camp Update 2.1 for Windows XP ( because Vista x64 version wouldn't start ) and basically I got the same warnings I did when I installed Boot Camp from the Leopard DVD ( described above ). I also tried to instal Boot Camp Update 2.2 for Windows, but it didn't start. I also downloaded Bluetooth Update 1.0, but all I got was a message saying: "This update is not intended for this computer and will not be installed.".
There is also no sound.
This is basically it, I really hope some of you who run Windows 7 with wireless keyboards and mice can help me, because I desperately need this to work ( I use a Windows only program for school ).
PS. I have a 2007 iMac 24" white and while it is not on the we're-not-supporting-that list for the infamous Windows 7 Boot Camp update, all other iMacs from its generation are. Any ideas?

Found a solution for the "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model" message. Here is the link: http://www.techulous.com/hardware/how-to-apple-boot-camp-64-bit-for-windows-7-on -unsupported-macs.html
Everything works ( for ) now. Yay!

Mighty Mouse, Programmable Buttons, and Universal Access

I give up. I asked the folks at the Apple Store if I could program the Mighty Mouse such that one of the "primary" buttons could perform a "double-click" and the other "primary" button perform a "single-click" (i.e., so I don't have to push my finger down twice to both select and open an item). I was told the MM was "fully programmable" but if I can't make the thing do that, I wouldn't call that "fully" programmable. Not good for those of us with severe hand and arm problems and any hand surgeon, PT, OT, and ergonomist will tell you that this is a big deal - all the clicking and finger pushing.
Maybe I'm not seeing something or some way to do this, please advise. I have a Kensington old wired mouse recommended by many ergonomists and PTherapists for this reason but thought that with the advent of Apple's new MMouse, Apple would have thought of this and allowed for such programmability in this new mouse. Too bad... I'll likely have to return it unless one of you can tell me how to program one of those buttons to do the 'double-clicking' for me for the price of 1 click.

Can it be programmed, though, such that one click on an item will both select and open it? Please let me know. It seems impossible to get answers to this question from mouse manufacturers. I have now waited almost a week for Kensington to answer me even after calling and talking to a supposed "technician".

Randomly jumpy mighty mouse (bt) pointer and trackpad too (once only)

Gents,
I have recently noted that, sometimes (randomly and rarely for the time being), the pointer of my bluetooth MM (Mighty Mouse) moves farther than what I was expecting it to move. This happened probably in concomitance with the opening of some application, as Iphoto. In other words, it appeared to me that the pointer accelerated more than what I demanded it to move with the displacement of the mouse. It was not really a jump but almost one, like a transitory, but contained, loss of pointer control.
I believe that a similar event occurred also once with the trackpad pointer when I went to the bottom of the screen to make dock appear in concomitance with a skype call launch....the pointer seemed to move fast to the right although I am quite sure it was not my finger to command this motion on the pad.
I have tried (with respect to MM) to delete and recreate the bluetooth .plist but it did not prevent from having this occurrence (note also that the batteries are OK).
I have read in some other forum that this might be due to OSX pointer acceleration (not perfect) management, but I would like to be comforted by any similar feedback / experience of yours.
Thanks
Cheers

I had a similar problem. I would move my mouse across the screen but randomly it would "catch" or "get stuck" very briefly throughout its movement. Like something was holding it back. I tried replacing mousepads, deleting the Bluetooh connection and re-pairing, deleting preference files...nothing. I even tried buying two new mice but they all had the same problem.
I headed to an Apple Store and a Genius reproduced the problem. He had not heard of this before but it was clearly reproducible in front of his eyes. And sure enough, my Mighty Mouse was working fine on other Macs. So they set up repair job to replace my Bluetooth chipset (which is integrated into the display so they had to replace the display). A day later I picked it up and it works perfectly!
I suggest going to an Apple Store and getting your Bluetooth chip replaced!

Mighty Mouse/ OS Tiger and Apple Studio Display

Not really sure that this topic should go here or in the studio area, but here goes. A few months back I updated my G5 to apple OS X 10.4.x. Up until that point, I had a USB mightly mouse plugged into my 17" apple studio display and could restart my system with no issues.
After updating to 10.4.x, when I boot my system, the USB mightly mouse acts only as a USB mouse and is very sensitive to movement. When I move the mouse a small amount, the point zips across the entire screen.
Once the system is up - if I unplug the mouse from the display and replug it in, then it works correctly and is not sensitive - that is, it acts like it should with the settings I have setup for "speed" in the control panel.
I have searched high and low for others with the same issue and have come up empty. Anyone with any ideas?
Thanks
Brian

To clarify, upon restarting, the system sees the mouse as a two button USB mouse. Once the system is up, when I unplug the mouse and plug it bak in, the keyboard/mouse control panel, switches to reflect that this is a USB mightly mouse with all the various options.
This same behavior occurs when I use the USB port on the front of the G5's case.
Currently under the System Information ( apple in the upper left corner of the screen ), the system lists the mouse as an Apple Opticl Mouse, version 1.08
Thanks
