Will the magic mouse work well with my iMac G5?

I was wondering before i buy the Magic mouse cause my mighty mouse is getting old, if it will work with my iMac?
i did upgrade to leopard so i was wondering if it will work?
thanks!

Based on the system requirements, on the product listing page at the Apple Store
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB829LL/A
it will work. Scrolling works with Leopard. +Momentum Scrolling+ makes the scroll continue a bit after you stop the motion with your finger, like the action has "momentum." Snow Leopard is required for that feature to work.

  • Will the Magic Mouse Work with the new iPad?

    I know it can work with the wireless keyboard.... but will it work with the mighty mouse?

    You could argue that the iPad doesn't have a use for an external keyboard either. Yet it supports one. And truth be told this is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, reasons having optional mouse support would be nice.
    You see when typing on an external keyboard you have to reach up and over to tap the iPad. This gets tiring rather quickly. Ironically this is the very reason Steve Jobs argued that touchscreens don't work for notebook computers. A mouse would be more ergonomically sound in this situation. Also the method for selecting text with your finger kind of slow.
    As for the lack of a mouse cursor.... as unsanctioned software tweaks have proven, one could easily be added while the mouse is connected.

  • Is it possible to use the Apple wireless keyboard with the iPhone 6? Will the Magic Mouse work with iMovie on iPhone6 Plus?

    iPhone 6 page says that iMovie is a (free) application available for iPhone 6. When I use it on the desktop I need a mouse. Should I expect all controls to be touch-sensitive, or is it possible to use the wireless Magic Mouse? Similarly, if I want to type an email or a long document, is it possible to use the Mac wireless keyboard to enter text? With the iPhone 6 Plus taking over for laptops (phablet), it seems to me that input tools are relevant. Maybe what I'm asking is whether the iPhone6 (OS8) has drivers for these devices. Please advise.

    Apps that are designed for iOS devices such as the iOS version of iMovie are intended to be used entirely by touch. It's worth noting that iMovie for iOS is not absolutely identical to iMovie for Mac OS.

  • Can the Magic Mouse be paired with the original iPad?

    Can the Magic Mouse be paired with the original iPad ?

    No, neither the first nor the second gen iPad supports a mouse - there is no cursor for a mouse to control, all you have on the iPad is an insertion point when entering or amending text

  • I have a new Airport Extreme that works well with my IMac but is intermittent with our Windows 7 PC.  Any ideas?

    I have a new Airport Extreme that works well with my IMac but is intermittent with our Windows 7 PC.  Any ideas?

    Thanks planb77. Your instructions worked but I had to do a little more than you stated. I did not realize that transferring files to a new computer was not enough. When the iPod synced I was told I needed to "authorize" my new computer to get my iTunes purchases to sync to the iPod. So after the initial sync, I ejected and disconnected the iPod, went into the iTunes store, set up "home sharing" and then authorized the new computer. When that was done I reconnected the iPod and was able to sync all my books and music. The only thing I couldn't do was rename the iPod as iTunes never asked me to. Is there a way to rename it after it has been set by iTunes as "owner's iPod"?

  • Does the Magic Mouse work with Macbook pros?

    I've read on a website that the Magic Mouse only works with the iMacs they ship with.
    So, no Macbooks?
    Can someone confirm this?

    I just got my magic mouse and it indeed does work with my 2.8ghz MBP.
    HOWEVER, none of the scrolling features seem to work. The mouse connected to my bluetooth without any problems, it left and right clicks fine but zero touch surface scrolling seems to work.
    Tried reconnecting, on/off, computer restart etc. and no love from the magic mouse whatsoever.
    I'm all ears for any solutions.

  • Simple question.  Will my Magic Mouse work in Windows 8 Boot Camp 5.1 (Mavericks)

    I think my question says it all.  My magic mouse is not working and will not pair with my Windows 8 Boot Camp install done from the Mavericks Boot Camp setup.  Should it work?  Does it not work?  Thanks.

    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
    my magic trackpad works fine with bluetooth but my bluetooth mice require being run as usb device it can't connect using bluetooth at all

  • Does the iphone 3gs works well with ios 5

    I need to buy an iphone 3gs for my daughter and need to know if it works well with the new IOS 5 or what ?

    I have the nearly the same problem.
    My problem is exactly that the music will play, but not over the internal loud speakers.
    When in plug in the earphones i will hear the music.
    Also the loud speakers would be fine, because the loudspeakers would work when i make a hands free phone call.
    There must be a bug in the ios 5.1.
    I also had a phenomen when I was connected in my local network, I have some airport express, I see these airport express device, the dock connector, but not the internal speaker or the iphone to select as an sound source.
    And i tried to make a reset. Doesn't help.
    Maybe i try next to set back the phone to manufacturer settings and restore it.

  • Can the Magic Mouse work without clicking?

    I thought it would have the same options as the Magic Trackpad on my Macbook Pro, but see no way to open/close programs, etc. without clicking. I have an injury that makes the clicking action painful, so have been grateful for the tapping option on the trackpad, and bought the Magic Mouse thinking it would have the same features. I get the swiping between pages, scrolling etc. Anyone know if I'm missing something on this? The demos on the settings didn't give the option, so I'm thinking the Magic Mouse isn't as talented as the Magic Trackpad.

    If you want to, 'er, "teach" it more tricks you will need a third party utility like MagicPrefs.
    Other mouse utilities:
    BetterTouchTool
    SteerMouse
    MagicDriver
    I don't know if any of these guys will do exactly what you want but it may be worth looking at them.

  • Will  a Magic mouse work with a Ipad?

    I was told you can pair a magic mouse with a ipad! Tried to sync , but it won't work. Someone else told me you have to jailbreak the ipad. Is this the only way?

    To do what?
    There is no cursor to move around on the iPad.

  • Does the Magic Mouse work with a MacBook (early 2008)

    Just wondering before I decide to buy it.

    As long as bluetooth is installed it depends more on software level.  Since you show as 10.6.7 then a definite yes.
    Here are the software requirements:
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0* or Mac OS X v10.6.1 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0
    Note that the update isn't needed with 10.6.2 and later because it's already included.

    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.
