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.

  • 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)

  • Magic Mouse under Win7 - full functionalities

    Dear all,
    I don't have a choice - my company runs Win7.
    Nevertheless, I don't want to miss my Magic Mouse and my Apple Keyboard that I know from my home devices.
    To connect the Mouse with my Dell Nogebook hasn't been a challenge but, I miss functionalities like the move with fingers - so far only right & left (double) clicks work fine.
    Can anybody help / advice what to do to obtain full functionalities of my Magic Mouse under Windows 7?
    Thanks a lot in advance from Germany!

  • How to pan using magic mouse in Autocad 2012 for Mac?

    Hi. I'm loving Autocad 2012 on my Macbook Pro Retina (although, it is not yet supporting Retina Display). The problem is, I want to be able to pan using magic mouse but, there seems to be no option for this. If I use two finger swipe, it switches between desktops.

    I'm disliking the navigating too, but instead of the spacebar, I have to hold down the Command button at the same time. The problem with that is it takes me out of Model Space and into Paper Space. Two double clicks to get back in and all is well, but it took a while, and when you're concentrating on eg, dimensioning, you don't always notice.
    Re: inactive windows. No zooming, but side to side movement is ok. A fix would be nice.
    My other problem bugged me so much I went out and got a (insert feeling of embarassment here) Logitech wheel mouse, and that was trying to control the zoom rate. When it's set as slow as possible, it's too slow for everything else and when it's in AutoCAD, it's ok but most of the time it takes 3 or 4 swipes on the scroll to get it to move. The wheel mouse was ok, but zoom control doesn't work well, even tho it's an expensive mouse, and exchanging it for a new one brought the same problem. (let go of the wheel and it bounces back a little...or a lot... from the direction in which you zoomed). I think I'll take the magic mouse...

  • Unable to wake screen using magic mouse or trackpad after installing magic mouse

    Dear Everyone,
    I am using mbp 15 inch early 2011 with 2 GHZ intel i7 processor and a  4gb ram. I would like to tell you that i have installed the mac os x lion and quite happy with the improvement. however, there are same changes which i am not sure whether it is that my mac that causeing theproblem or the bug from the lion itself. i am unable to wake my mbp screen using my magic mouse or trackpad after installing lion. i believe that my mbp has not really enter sleep mode as i dont see the sleep indicator at the bottom right corner flickering. i also believe that it is only the screen that goes to sleep while the hard disk is not. Normally a single swing  of the magic mouse or a single swipe of the trackpad will normally wake the screen. in order to wake the screen now is only to click on the magic mouse or trackpad. furthermore, scrolliing page using magic mouse also become unusual after installing the lion. does any of u happen to come across these problems as well? Is there any other way to downgrade to snow leopard back? (i ask this in case that this issue really cannot be fixed). Please help me on this issue. Thank you very much for taking your time to read and reply this thread.

    First, Lion does not wake on mouse or trackpad movement, only clicks or keyboard presses.  This is presumably to avoid waking the computer from display or full sleep accidentally, and is just how Lion works.  It's going to take some getting used to, personally, but I've noticed my mac hasn't woken up on it's own.  Apparently moving about my apartment moves the mouse enough that Snow Leopard used to wake the iMac.  This is not a glitch, and unfortunately, a downgrade is a complicated matter, involving erasing the HD entirely, and restoring from a backup created in Snow Leopard and not used with Lion at all, or manually importing important bits of data, as libraries upgraded by new versions of Mail, iCal, etc will not be compatible with the old versions.
    In terms of your mouse scrolling, describe it in a bit more detail; Lion introduces "natural" scrolling, where instead of the mouse wheel moving the "window" over the contents, it moves the contents through the window, like scrolling on an iPhone or iPad.  In other words, think of your finger on the mouse as pressing on the page you're looking at and dragging it upward through the field of view.  I remember long ago thinking my very first scrolling mouse was backwards, and then adjusting to "down is down, up is up".  If this is the behavior you're experiencing, this also is the way Lion works.  This, however, can be changed in the mouse or trackpad preference pane in system preferences.  Simply deselect "natural" scrolling.
    In a more general sense, its usually not a good idea to do a major software upgrade on your primary machine unless you're willing to deal with some zero-day glitches.  It sounds like the issues you're having aren't actually glitches, and you should be happy for that, but in the future, you might want to wait a few weeks for other users with more experience with major OS launches to find those bugs and point them out to the community for Apple to fix.  In terms of an OS launch, I think this has been absolutely one of the best.  I'm seeing very few major glitches resulting in lost data, few things that would really destroy my personal workflows, and compatiblity issues with other products seems to be well documented or negligible.  It's also a bit hasty to assume that mere hours after launch Apple would have any ability to fix ACTUAL problems with the OS.  My recommendation would be to get used to the change; having to click the mouse at least means you'll never accidentally wake your machine bumping against your desk.

    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.

  • How I can highlight, copy and paste using magic mouse?

    I'm wondering how I can use Magic Mouse to highlight, copy and paste documents. I look at directions in manual and preferences, but could not find the answer.

    Just like any mouse. Click down at the start of text you want to highlight, drag to the end of the text. To copy, either use cmd-C, or ctrl-click (hold down the ctrl key and click) or right-click, and click Copy in the popup menu. For paste, cmd-V, or use Paste in the right-click menu.

  • 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.

    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?

  • Magic Mouse in Windows 7 using Bootcamp

    Hello,
    Quite new to the Apple scene and generally, I love it BUT, does anyone know why my £60 Magic Mouse needs pairing every time I start Windows 7 and even when I do re-pair it, sometimes the gestures work and sometimes they dont. I have updated Mountain Lion to the latest version on my MacBook Pro 15. I only bought the mouse to get an extra USB slot...
    Thanks for any answers

    Hi all,
    It seems that when you restart in Windows from Mountain Lion, you must switch off the mouse and then switch it back on. Wait a couple of seconds and then just click the mouse and it should start working without having to re-pair. I am happy again!
