NEED Middle button for Magic Mouse in Bootcamp!

Hey guys!
I recently purchased a Magic Mouse, and my oh my is it AWESOME! Problem is that it hadn't occured to me there was no middle button and I DESPERATELY need a middle button to use Solidworks under Bootcamp. Anyone know of any drivers/programs/hacks that'll enable middle button for me? Else I've effectively wasted $70, and being a student, that hurts.
PLEASE let me know ASAP! I'd hate to have to get one of those generic mouses.
Thanks!

I am pretty sure that this is not possible, try finding a version of the software you use that is compatible with Mac OS X?

  • Magic mouse on bootcamp with cad files

    Hey,
    I want to know if can someone help me to figure out my problem.
    I am student to architecture and need the middle button for cad files like autocad, sketchup etc...
    For mac I have the magicprefs app - that enable the middle button.
    but for windows (run with bootcamp with the 5.1 driver) I don׳t see any solution for this. (and a lot of topic with this problem).
    I happy to see answer from you.
    thank you very much.

    I had the same issue and I finally make it work executing following steps:
    1. If the Mouse is displayed on Win 7 Bluetooth devices, remove it.
    2. Reboot the computer on Mac OS and change the name of Magic Mouse then remove the Magic Mouse from Mac OS Bluetooth list as well.
    3. Reboot the computer on Bootcamp/Win 7 and use Bluetooth add device to pair the Magic Mouse on Win 7. At this time it should work on Win 7.
    4. Reboot the computer on Mac OS and add again the Bluetooth device. At this point, the name of Magic Mouse will be the old name, so you have to change it to the new name you just set it at step #2.
    After this, my Magic Mouse works fine in Mac OS and Win 7 Ultimate/64bits.

  • Disable middle button for osx while in Parallels

    I've been trying to accomplish this for hours, maybe someone can help:
    I need to use AutoCad for PC, so I run a Windows XP VM in Parallels 7. In OSX (Mountain Lion) I have assigned Mission Control for the middle button of my mouse (Logitech V470).
    When I try to pan in Parallels's AutoCad, as obvious, it activates Mission Control. How can I disable the middle button for OSX only if I'm working in Parallels, so when I go back to OSX it will continue to launch Mission Control. Am I explaning my self good enough?
    Thanks for your help!!

    Actually the middle button  on a mouse has a specific function in OS X and you have overwritten that. If you hadn't it would work as it should in Win XP for ACad. You need to remove that change of assignments and go back to Default.
    There also may be an isolation feature in Parallels where once you are in Parallels the mouse and keyboard commands are only relayed to the OS in parallels. Not sure as I use VMware Fusion.

  • HT2845 do I need to pair the magic mouse each time I switch it off.

    Do I need to pair the magic mouse each I switch it off, or should the mouse be left in the on position all the time.

    It should pair automatically when switched back on. Having said that, I never turn BT devices off unless I am gone for a long time. BT devices automatically go into a low power mode after a short time of non-use.

    Which brand is THE best in rechargeable batteries for Magic Mouse AND last long ?

    I've been using the Apple rechargables in my keyboards/mice/trackpads for over a year now.  They last 3-4 weeks in my usage pattern but I have spares ready to go when they get weak.

  • Magic Charger  Mobee for Magic Mouse doesn't work with Mac OS X lion Mountain

    What could I do, other that disconnect Magic Charger?

    When you say you cannot add the printer, with the Add Printer pane open, is the 6250 visible in the Default Add Printer view? If no then it could be the USB cable at fault and I suggest you try another cable.
    If the printer is visible but the Mac fails to locate a driver when you select it then you may have to trash the contents of the BJPrinters folder (HD > Library > Printers > Canon) and then run the iX6250 driver installer again.

  • Middle Button in the Mouse, App selector

    Hi, I have a Mac Book Pro with one month running in Yosemite (I was in the beta program so I m running the last update, which I do not know if it is the same as the commercial release).
    I am used to have the application selector (which you can activate with Cmd + Tab) in the middle button of my mouse but in the preferences window of Yosemite I do not find the way to configure it like this.
    Am I missing something? Is there any way to do it??
    Thanks in advance

    Try going into the control panel, iCloud settings, Toggle iCloud syncing on and then off and then see if you can add events.
    It's an old glitch that sometimes pops up

  • More preferences for magic mouse needed.

    The magic mouse is really a nice piece of hardware, but the software is lacking.  Here are a couple of problems I have and suggestions that would make my life a lot easier.
    There scrolling feature is nearly useless in text editors.  It is always causing undesired scrolls of the text windows and various list boxes.  I end up turning off the scroll feature when using a text editor. I would like to see application specific preferences for the mouse scroll.  Allow user to enable mouse scroll on an application by application basis and set various scroll options on an application basis allowing me to disable scrolling for desired applications.  This would eliminate the need to open system preferences every time I switch apps.
    For text editing applications, I tend to disable scrolling, but I would like to retain the scroll feature, but restrict it to a center portion of the mouse so it must be activated using the middle finger as one would do with a wheel mouse.  To accomplish this, the mouse surface could be treated as three separate zones, left, center and right.  New mouse preferences would allow user to specify if the mouse surface was treated as a single zone, or as multiple zones.  User should be able to configure the mouse for individual applications to enable the multi-zone feature.

    Think back.   Was your mouse turned off at the point when you downloaded Mavericks.   

  • Magic mouse on bootcamp

    hi guys
    just bought the magic mouse, and i wanted to know how to make it run on my bootcamp.
    i have a macbook pro 13'' 2011.
    please help me

    You adjust and when using windows you have to go back and adjust again what makes it double-annoying. I understand your point and hope there will be natural solution soon. For now this seems to work: http://www.howtogeek.com/57542/how-to-get-the-worst-os-x-lion-feature-in-windows -reverse-scrolling/

  • How can I turn off dashboard from middle click on magic mouse?

    As the title says:
    Whenever  I have a gesture set up on my magic mouse to hit middle click, it automatically does the dashboard. This I don't want, and I cannot for the life of me work out how the **** to disable the dashboard from middle click.
    Any help?
    Suresh

    I was getting the same problem, I have Jitouch installed, but that really wasn't the issue, it was a setting in the system preferences as sureshk mentioned. It took me a little bit to figure out where the setting is located in case someone else has the same issue.
    System Preferences > Expose & Spaces (Snow Leopard & earlier) or Mission Control (Lion & later)
    The keyboard and mouse shortcuts are at the bottom. My "Show Dashboard" was set for F12 and Middle Click

  • Need some help! Magic Mouse or me accidental deleting?

    I also posted this under the bluetooth discussion but still hoping for some help:
    I've only had my new iMac and Magic Mouse for a month. Mostly the latter is fine but one issue is troubling. What am I doing to cause it to suddenly delete/undo what I just typed? is it the "swiping?" all I know is that I'm in the middle of writing an email when suddenly, my text is gone and there is no option for me to "undo" what has been erased. This is also causing me lots of grief while working in Finale....Thanks for any suggestions/help anyone can give me.
    Nan

    This is a pretty common problem for people with laptops and poor posture. Without even knowing it, you'll press on the trackpad with the heel of your hand and select some text, which is then overwritten when you keep typing.
    Most programs will respond to Command-Z for undo, even if there's no undo option in any of the menus. It's not universal, but pretty common none the less.
    I also find it happens from time to time that I'll go to hit the shift key or something, and also end up hitting the up arrow, which then highlights a bunch of text. So, for a few days, just be very aware of where you put your fingers, and I bet you'll find you're hitting things by accident.

  • Magic Mouse Drivers - Bootcamp

    Apple,
    The Magic Mouse is a great product but thus far you've ignored those who work in Bootcamp with Windows. My occasional jaunts into the Windows world are disappointing and should not be. Please release drivers that better utilize Magic Mouse features in Windows.

    This issue appears to be resolved (well, it never required resolution, just the proper drivers) by installing only part of the Apple Bluetooth Update 1.0 for Windows.
    The update can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL952
    Once the package is downloaded, you must extract the files using WinRAR or any other similar ZIP/RAR utility.
    You must extract the files from the update. If you simply try to install the entire update, you'll receive a prompt stating the update isn't required for your specific model, as this update is intended for the iMac.
    Once extracted, open the target directory and double-click the AppleWirelessMouse.exe that applies to your Windows OS (32 or 64 bit).
    I'm using my Magic Mouse with Boot Camp and Fusion 3.0 running Win 7 and both vertical and horz scrolling work just fine. The Magic Mouse also feels a bit more responsive. Both are welcome improvements.
    I'm not quite sure why Apple hasn't provided more information on this, it seems they're okay with the implication that Magic Mouse only works in Mac OS X.

  • No downloadable windows drivers for Magic Mouse?  Why not?

    My question is simple: Why doesn't Apple provide an easily downloadable Windows driver installer for the Magic Mouse?
    Apple has nothing to loose - the user would still have to purchase their Magic Mouse, and they might even gain some sales of the device from Windows users who prefer it.  Further, they already have a driver installer packaged and ready to go in the Boot Camp driver Bins (Binary.MultiTouchMouse_Bin) but to get it you have to download the ENTIRE Boot Camp archive, unzip it, extract the _Bin file in question, and rename it adding .exe to the end so Windows can run it.
    Other hardware manufacturers (including Microsoft) provide easily downloadable drivers for their products on multiple platforms, it would be nice to see the same courtesy extended by Apple.

    This is not a problem with the headset but a bluetooth issue in windows, the default microsft bluetooth driver does not support all profiles, you need to make sure you install the proper drivers for your bluetooth chip.
    When the proper bluetooth drivers are installed you will be able to pair it properly and then go into settings and select the headset profile.
    I also had to change the default speakers to the headset under the windows sound settings.
    If you have a laptop the bluetooth drivers is probably on the manufacturers website, if you purchased a bluetooth usb dongle then you probably received a cd with it.
