Magic Mouse Not Working

Hey everyone,

Just got my magic mouse, really pleased with it, amazing design and quality.

The only problem is the 'touch' side if things completely doesn't work and the system preferences for mouse don't show the gestures part at all. I have Snow Leopard and have installed the Wireless Mouse Update but still now joy.

I may not have installed it and connected in quite the right order, anyone know what can be done?

I have an Intel Mac Mini, about 2 years old, is all hardware supported?

Any info would be great.

Thanks
Darren

Mac Mini, Mac OS X (10.6.1)

Hey guys, sorry but this is a basic beginner question, by reading most of the other posts here. I just can't seem to figure something out...

I've got the new Magic Mouse, it's just the downloading part thats got me. I download the Mouse Software, but then tells me I need to have Os X 10.6.1 to work, then I read here that I actually need the 10.6.2, so I download that(6 hours), then it tells me that I need OS X 10.6 in order to work, and I can't seem to find it on this site?, or is it something I need to purchase?(I currently have 10.5.8)

Any help much appreciated 🙂

...anyone?

10.5.8 is Leopard. 10.6.X is Snow Leopard, so the answer would be yes, you need to purchase Snow Leopard.

I had to create an account just to express my relief that this is now working, i had usb overdrive installed, i removed it from the preferences pane, still didn't work. i reinstalled usb o/d and uninstalled it with the uninstaller and hallelujah it works. i can understand your grief though if it still isn't working, persistence though.

Alot of people have had this problem for a very long time, so heres my fix:

1) Go into you system drive and then head into the system folder. From there you should see 'extensions'. Click into that and you need to find 'AppleBluetoothMultitouch.kext' and 'AppleMultitouchDriver.kext'. Delete these two (you may have to change folder permissons) and then restart your computer.
then head over to apple ( http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/wirelessmousesoftw areupdate10forsnowleopard.html) and install the magic mouse update. your computer should restart and everything should work 🙂
