Magic Mouse still not connecting on Bootcamp 3.1 with Windows 7

same problem here! Anyone have a solution?

I turned the mouse off, then clicked look for bluetooth devices, then turned the mouse back on. It worked! I hope that helps!

Same here. Just updated to Bootcamp 3.1, running Windows 7 Enterprise and when I go to add my bluetooth Magic Mouse, it shows up in the box but will not connect. I tried shutting it off and then turning it back on, and no luck!

i too am experiecing this, i can connect rather easily with the Mighty Mouse, but not with the Magic Mouse...what givessssss?

I too am experiecing this, I can connect flawlessly with the Mighty Mouse, but it hangs on connecting when i attempt with the Magic Mouse.

update: its working now, what i did was turned off the magic mouse when it hung, turned it back on and tried to connect it again, i repeated the process a few times and it finally connected, idk if I was lucky but its working beautifully now!

I recently installed Boot Camp 3.1 update. I had to go into Bluetooth preference and remove the magic mouse from the device list in OSX then boot into Windows 7 and add device in Bluetooth and the mouse is now working great! When you boot back in OSX you can add the magic mouse back in and still work after you go back into windows 7. Does this make sense?

Works for me.

All,

Here's how I got it to work:

Go to Device Manager > Bluetooth Radios > Generic Bluetooth Adapter

Right click > Update Driver Software > "Browse my computer for driver software" > "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"

Uncheck "Show compatible hardware"

Under Manufacturer select > "Apple Inc."

Select the "Apple Built-in BluetootDFU" and click "Next" a bunch of times.

Then, go to the Bluetooth Icon in the system tray or in the control panel. Turn off the Magic Mouse before you try to discover the device. It should do it's thing automagically and come right up after you turn the Magic Mouse back on.

At least these are the steps that worked for me.

The problem I'm seeing is that the mouse stops responding if you're not constantly moving it. I'm going to try the different Bluetooth adapters from "Apple Inc." to see which one works best.

Thanks, that all worked great. I chose the "Apple Built-in BluetootDFU" drivers, and I was able to detect, and connect to my Magic Mouse immediately.

What I had to do to make sure the mouse wouldn't disconnect, was go into the Device Manager, find the "Apple Built-in BluetootDFU" device, right click it to go to the properties, and then the Power Management tab. Uncheck the box that says, "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". Click "OK" and you should be all set. My mouse has been working well since I did that.

Hope that helps, and thank you for the tips!

Specs (in case it matters)
MacBook Pro 15" (late 2009)
Bootcamp Version 3.1
Windows 7 Professional (fresh install)

Awesome! That works like a charm!

I also tried setting my Bluetooth adapter to "Apple Built-In Bluetooth" and that worked without issue. I'm not sure what the differences are between the "DFU" and non-"DFU" version.

Thanks for the help!

Try clicking on the mouse icon then Windows will install the correct drivers so the mouse will then work.

Tried this solution. Pretty sure I messed up somewhere. Now bluetooth is not running at all. Tried reinstalling the driver and it simply says "Apple built-in bluetooth has a driver problem." Stuck.
