Windows XP & Magic Mouse

I have a MacBook Pro (Intel) and recently purchased a Magic Mouse. It works fine with Mac OS X (Snow Leopard), but not with Boot Camp (WinXP). The only way I can get the mouse to work under Boot Camp is, after finishing to boot in WinXP, to uninstall the Magic Mouse in the Bluetooth setup and then re-installing it. Then it will work. But it is time consuming. Also, I MUST use the passkey of "0000" (I even say "no passkey" during the setup) in order to install successful the mouse. Can anyone please help me? Thank you very much for any help I can get!

I don't know for sure if this will apply to you, but when I couldn't get my Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboard to work in Bootcamp Windows XP, I found this solution....and it worked for the keyboard. It may work with your Magic Mouse, too (some of the "thank you" messages said it worked with their wireless mouse, too).

  • Windows 7, Magic mouse, two finger swipe action

    I'm using the 27" iMac.
    Does the newer bootcamp supports two finger swipe action on the magic mouse on Windows 7?
    Also, the scrolling action works but I can't seem to control the speed of the scrolling.
    Are these normal at this point?

    Hi,
    if not already done, install the BC Driver update 3.1 http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/windows/
    Have a look here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3039

  • Magic mouse, Win XP all work fine? On boot camp?

    I currently have an Intel iMac 2007 Core 2 Duo with Snow Leopard on and use boot cMp with Win XP home on. I have a mighty mouse wireless at the moment and works fine. I used a magic mouse in the Apple retail store recently Nd thought it was reall good.
    So will the magic mouse work fine under boot camp on Win XP home? What functions work and what dont please? I only want one mouse for Mac and Windows
    Cheers

    The Magic Mouse will work fine with Bootcamp Windows and Mac OS X. Follow the instructions: un-pair it in Mac OS X, install the drivers and pair it in Bootcamp Windows, and then pair it with Mac OS X. This works great for me, but note that functionality in Windows is more limited: scrolling is just up and down and no gestures for back page and forward page.
    My experience with the Magic TrackPad is that I can get it to work properly in either Max OS X (10.6.4 or 10.6.5) and Bootcamp Windows. (It has the same limits on functionality in Bootcamp Windows as the Magic Mouse.) However, when rebooting into a different OS, the prior pairing does not work. You have to delete the device in the Bluetooth control panel and then re-pair it. This is a nuisance and I find that it is easier to simply plug in a USB mouse for occasional use in Bootcamp Windows rather than to constantly re-install the device. This is not fixed in the 10.6.5 update on my system.
    If you need to use Bootcamp frequently, then the Magic Mouse is a better choice. Note that what I describe here is my experience with my early 2008 MacBook Pro. YMMV.

  • Restart -- Magic Mouse does not auto-reconnect

    After I updated OS from 10.6.4 to 10.6.5 with the combo updater, upon restart my Magic Mouse no longer auto-reconnect via Bluetooth. I even applied the combo updater for the second time. But, every time I restart my Mac, I have to use a USB mouse to reconnect the Magic Mouse back to the Mac.
    How can I bring the auto-reconnect back? This is driving me crazy.

    I believe that I have solved the issue with the following procedure.
    [0] Let's suppose that, after a restart, the Magic Mouse did not auto-connect.
    [1] Use a USB mouse to open *System Preferences > Bluetooth*.
    [2] In the left-side window, select the Magic Mouse.
    [3] At the bottom of this left-side window, pull down the menu and select *Update Device Services*.
         It may take a moment or two for the update to occur.
    [4] In the left-side window, the Magic Mouse should now appear as Connected.
    [5] Restart the Mac and see if the Magic Mouse auto-connects now.

  • Cannot get Magic Mouse to work in Windows 7 64-bit using Boot Camp

    I recently purchased a Magic Mouse and installed it on the Mac OS X partition of my MacBook Pro. After successfully installing on the Mac side, I switched to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit using Boot Camp to install on the Windows partition. When I try to "Discover" a new Bluetooth device, the Magic Mouse does not show up in the list of devices (the mouse is powered on and next to the computer).
    I am using the most recent version of Boot Camp (3.0.2) and have updated Windows 7. Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, is there a fix for it?
    I appreciate any help!

    OK, that is a Bluetooth mouse so open Windows Devices and Printers>Add a Device Toggle the power (on the mouse) off and then on. he mouse should appear in the window, follow instructions to add it.

  • Magic Mouse and Windows 7: Discovered but will not Connect.

    Windows 7 (W7) can "Discover" the Magic Mouse (MM) but doesn't seem to be able to connect. Here is asolution.
    1. Turn Off your MM.
    2. Restart W7
    3. Connect a "Wired" USB mouse. (My Track Pad would not Right Click.)
    4. Open "Hidden Icons". (In the Right lower corner of your dispaly, in the "Tray" is a small "Triangle" icon. Mouse over this and you will see that this is the "Show Hidden Icons" icon. Click on it.)
    5. You should now see a Bluetooth icon. This is the "Bluetooth Devices" icon. Click on it.
    6. A Pop Up Menu appears. Click on "Add a device."
    7. Turn on your MM.
    8. Your MM should appear in the "Select a device to add to this computer." window.
    9. It will probably just say "Mouse" or "Bluetooth Mouse" If you have used your MM before on your Mac, it may display your Mac's "Short User Name". This means that W7 has "Discovered" your MM.
    10. Right Click on your displayed device.
    11. Click on "Add device..."
    12. Click on "Properties"
    13. Select/Click on the "Services" tab.
    14. Tick the "Box" for "Driver for mice, keyboard, etc. (HID)"
    15. Click "OK" and exit.
    Your MM should now work! Sort of!! Left & Right Click works and Up and Down scrolling works. Right & Left scroll does not.
    Also, you will note that your MM becomes "Inactive" after a few seconds of disuse. Just give it a single Left click to get it going again. I've posted a solution to this problem in another post.

    Thanks! That fixed my issues with my Apple bluetooth mouse and keyboard in Win7.

  • Magic Mouse and Windows 7: Wake up a Sleeping Magic Mouse

    For those of you who have managed to get your Magic Mouse (MM) working in Windows 7 (W7), you may have noted that the MM becomes unresponsive after a few seconds of not using it. This is a W7 "Feature" and not a "Bug". What is happening is the mouse has cycled into a "Power Saver" mode. You can re-activate the MM by giving it a single "Left Click". If having to do this every time you let the mouse sit idle for a few seconds in annoying to you, here is how to turn this "Feature" off.
    1. Click on "Start", (The circular Windows icon in the lower left corner of your display.)
    2. Select and open "Control Panel".
    3. Select and open "Device Manager".
    4. The Device Manager window displays a list of devices installed on your computer. If you can't see the list, click on the "triangle" to the left of the "Bootcamp" volume icon.
    5. Double Click on "Bluetooth Radios".
    6. Double Click on "Apple Built-in Bluetooth".
    7. In the "Apple Built-in Bluetooth Properties" window that opens, Click on the "Power Management" tab.
    8. Un-Tick the box that says "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
    9. Close everything up. I usually log off and log back in. You might also do a Restart.
    10. Done!

    Thanks! That fixed my issues with my Apple bluetooth mouse and keyboard in Win7.

  • Magic Mouse Guide for Windows 7 and Vista,,,

    Hello All,
    I recieved my Magic Mouse and it works great under OSX but I couldn't get it working under Windows at all. Searching here and around the web, I've compiled a guide on how I got it working. Hopefully, Apple will release proper drivers in the future but for now, here is what I did:
    Turn mouse off...if you have already tried installing, remove the device and then turn the mouse off. To remove it, open Start, type "Devices" and press enter. Select "remove device"...Now let's get started:
    1) Update the Bluetooth Driver.
    Open Device Manager.
    Start > (Right Click Computer) > Properties. Click Device Manager in upper left of this window. Double click (Bluetooth Radios), Right click on "Generic Bluetooth" and select "Properties". Open the Driver tab and then select "Update Driver". Click "Browse my computer for driver software". On the next screen, towards the bottom, click on "Let me pick from a list of device drivers...". Uncheck "Show compatible hardware". Select "Apple" and then "Apple built in bluetooth". Done
    2)In the notification area of the task bar, right click on Bluetooth icon and select "Add a device". Turn on your mouse. It will show up on screen. Right click on the mouse icon. Select Properties. Select the "Services" tab and check the "Drivers for keyboard, mice, etc". The mouse may disappear from the screen since it's been added. Windows is still looking for other devices so click "Cancel".
    3) Disable power management for Bluetooth Radio. Open device manager, open Bluetooth Radios and right click on "Apple Bluetooth". Select the "Power Management". Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
    4) Reboot computer. Mouse should be working in Windows 7/Vista now.
    * If you reboot and your mouse is still not working, click on the mouse two or three times. On my system, the mouse will not begin working until I do this, every time I boot my system. *
    Hope this helps,
    Al

    if you go to
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL952
    then download this package
    and extract the AppleWirelessMouse.exe or AppleWirelessMouse64.exe
    you then can run this on your windows PC and execute this
    this enables scrolling functionality of the Magic Mouse
    do not execute the downloaded file directly because it will tell you it doesn't run on this computer ( which is logical because of pc hardware =/= Mac hardware )
    i hope it works for everybody
    for me it does..
    it recognizes my Magicg Mouse and i now also have scrolling enabled

  • Magic Mouse wont close program or window when I left click.

    Hi,
    so I bought me a new set up iMac i7 with among others the magic mouse 3 months ago.
    Not everytime but quite frequently when I try to close a program or any kind of window, by left click the red button on top left corner, it wont work, nothing happens.
    Then I have to click somewhere outside that area and then go back to the red close button and it works.
    This is also present sometimes when I want to close a tab in safari by the tab cross-button.
    Anyone who has an idea of what the problem might be?
    At a first glance I thought it was a software bug, since it work when I click outside the red close button and then go back and it works.
    When it stops working it doesnt matter how many times I try, it just wont do until I click once outside the area.
    I also have a track pad but it works flawless!
    Thanks in advance for any hint into right direction!
    regards - Peter

  • Magic Mouse won't stay paired with booth Boot Camp and Windows 7

    So I have a Broadcom Bluetooth 2.1 dongle on Mac Pro 1,1, Lion, Boot Camp 3.3 and Windows 7 latest service pack and latest drivers/operating system. Everything is up-to-date.
    My problem started with Windows 7 not wanting to pair with mini alluminum keybord AND magic mouse. I followed a post somewhere and I was able to get the keyboard to pair and work when I switch between Lion and Bootcamp Windows 7 by removing it from Bluetooth Prefs in Lion, adding it to Windows 7 BC, and then adding it again in Lion.
    However, magic mouse will still work with onlly one: If I add it to Windows 7 and then restart to Lion, add it there and then restart in Windows, it shows as paired in Windows but it does not respond. I then remove it from Windows 7 and add it again, and it works. Then I reboot in Lion. It is on the list, but not connected. Even the option to connect is not available. I try restarting the mouse, no luck. The only way I can get it to work in Lion again, is to remove it and add it again. Now, I go back to Windows 7, It is there on the list, but it does not respond. In short, the Magic Mouse only seems to want to stay paired (or work) with either Win 7 or Lion. Getting it to work with one cancels the other.
    BTW, every time I pair it with Lion, I set it as a Favorite.
    Any suggestions?

    Some more info I have gleaned from my 13" white Core 2 Duo Macbook (not sure what generation - came with Tiger though). If I uninstall the Intel graphics drivers, the Sleep option is gone from Windows 7 but it will hibernate, and when resuming from hibernation the screen comes back on. However, when the Intel drivers are reinstalled the "screen off" problem is present for both hybernate and sleep. Two other data points: the power manager can't turn off the screen (after X minutes, etc) and I can't get any picture on an external monitor either. Just wanted to share.

  • Is Magic Mouse compatible with PC and Windows Vista

    Hello to everyone, I'm a new member of this forum, I hope someone will help me, please.
    I'm taking a look at the latest beautiful Apple's product and I felt in love with Magic Mouse, I'd like to have it for ma PC (not a Mac) with OS Vista.
    Is there anyboby who knows if this mouse is compatible with a Pc and Windows Vista OS?
    Actually I don't have bluetooth thecnology on my pc but if Magic Mouse were compatible I'd buy an usb adaptor.
    Thanks to everyone will help e!

    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.

  • Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK

    Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK with plug-in keyboard and mouse

    Hi, Derek -
    ...the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink.
    Sounds like Spaces is being activated somehow. With the wired keyboard and mouse in use, select the Exposé & Spaces control pane in System Preferences, click the choice in that pane for Spaces. See what the settings are. There are some activation settings in that pane - by default, F8 activates it.
    It could be that the bluetooth keyboard has some stuck keys and is activating Spaces; or that the activation command has somehow been reset to something that the bluetooth mouse, or bluetooth itself, is triggering.

  • Magic mouse no longer working in Windows 7

    Hi, I posted a topic under the Windows section but got no answer. When I first installed Windows 7 on my Mac (Sorry poor Mac but I had to), my Magic Mouse worked seamlessly with Windows until recently, I booted up in Se7en and my mouse no longer worked, I can't find any trace of bluetooth peripherals on the computer, in "Administration tools" and "Hardware manager" (or whatever it's called) I can't see a sign of my Broadcom Bluetooth adaptor. The bluetooth drivers are installed and I can see that in "Add or remove programs" so I don't know how to fix this. I already tried reinstalling the drivers from the boot camp DVD, and I also uninstalled Boot Camp, reinstalled it and updated it. Nothing works. If you have any ideas apart reinstalling Windows I would really appreciate because using my trackpad on a desk while having a Magic Mouse on the side (especially in Windows the trackpad *****) is driving me nuts. Thanks
    Scott

    Hi eg1978
    Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you are having issues with your two finger scrolling. I have a couple of things for you to try. This HP document Using and Configuring the TouchPad has a section on Turning individual gestures off and on and make sure that the two finger scrolling is enabled. If that does work then reinstall your Synaptics TouchPad Driver.
    Please click “Accept as Solution ” if you feel my post solved your issue.

  • 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

  • HOWTO: Magic Mouse in Windows XP Pro

    This is easiest to do when you have another mouse already working with the system...
    1. Install your bluetooth support and service packs for XP
    2. Go to Bluetooth devices from your control panel or system tray
    3. Connect the Magic Mouse and wait until the machine settles down.
    4. Click Add..
    5. Check my device is set up and ready to be found
    6. Click Next
    7. Click the device from the list - it should appear as the address of the mouse (looks like a Mac address)
    8. Click Next
    9. Don't use a passkey
    10. Wait until the bubble appears saying to click here because a device is requesting your attention (or whatever it says)
    11. Pass key is 0000
    12. Click Next
    13. Click Finish
    14. Go back to Bluetooth devices
    15. Click on the device from the list
    16. Click Properties
    17. Give the device a reasonable name (like Magic Mouse?)
    18. Click Services tab
    19. Check drivers for keyboard, mice, etc (HID)
    20. Click Ok.
    That should be it. This was not the first bluetooth device I added, so you may need additional steps to configure bluetooth to start with, but that it is out of the scope of this guide.
    As you have probably read, the left and right mouse buttons work, but the touch features (such as scrolling) do not.
    I suppose this should work in a VM system on OSX, if you have drivers to pass thru the machine's bluetooth functionality.
    If you have followed this steps and can't get it to work, maybe Windows is too much for you and you should buy a Mac (I haven't tried it on my Air yet, but expect the process to be much easier than this.. but then again, I already love the Air touchpad, why would I spoil it with a mouse?)

    If I boot directly from the BootCamp partition, MagicMouse is NOT recognized and no driver seems to be installed. If I run Win7 with VMWare Fusion from the BootCamp partition, MagicMouse runs just fine.
    I have installed the BootCamp 3.1 update and a driver for the MagicMouse does not seem to have been installed. I would really like to see a standalone Windows Installer for the MagicMouse driver.
    Apple's KB Article: TS3039 does not mention anything about Win7. "When using an Apple Magic Mouse with Microsoft Windows XP or Vista, vertical scrolling and two-finger swiping may not work."
