Magic Mouse software update

HI Adam and congrats on your new iMac.

The Magic Mouse update here is for a wireless Magic Mouse dated Oct. 27. A 63MB file for an update is normal. http://support.apple.com/downloads/#mice

If your mouse is wireless then yes, definitely install the update. It's very important to keep all system software up to date. An easy way to do this is to go to System Preferences (Applications folder), there should be a System Preferences icon in your Dock also)



After you open the System Preferences window select Software Update / Scheduled Check
At the bottom of that window where you see: Check for updates, make sure that box is checked. Click the pop up menu and select Daily / Weekly or Monthly. And you can also select:
Download updates automatically if you want.

For Safari... perform maintenance once a week.

From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...

from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.

HI,

Few users will see your post at the bottom of someone else's thread. For your benefit, start your own topic.

You can provide feedback here.

This being a user to user forum, we have no way of knowing when updates will become available.

You aren't alone... http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=806509

Hi Adam,

It can take awhile to get the hang of how forums work. You posted for help on for the same topic in two different forums. Intel-based iMac and Safari.

What happens when you do this is... if I'm helping you here in the iMac forum, I have to go back and forth between this post and your other one to see what kind of trouble shooting has been suggested by other posters there so we don't duplicate.

This is a user to user forum. We are volunteers just helping other Mac users.

Ok... for the software download. You do not need to go to the Software Updates page for updates. Let your iMac do that automatically for you. It will not download software that isn't needed for your system. Go to System Preferences / Software Updates - Scheduled Check
You can click: Check Now and check the box next to: Check for updates then click the pop up menu. I have mine set for Weekly.

You didn't do anything wrong... just trying to help you get acquainted with the forums! You are doing splendid.

Now... enjoy your iMac!

*"Just run a check from software update which returns no updates pending. I suppose this means that my iMac doesn't need the update."*

Correct!!

Here are some links to help you.

HI,

Is this a wireless mouse? In other words, is it connected to a USB port or does it require batteries?

*"I had downloaded the update, but didn't install it."*

Where did you download this file from?

Please do not post twice for the same topic.

You're welcome... you are a pleasure to talk to.

Hi,

does anybody know about an update, so that the magic mouse can control exposè?
Who needs the two finger swipe to left and right?! I need the exposè!

I wish they are updating this!
