Hello,

I recently finished my 2nd Hackintosh Build with OS 10.9 on a SSD and Win 8.1 on another HDD. Everythings working fine, except Wifi on OS 10.9. Couple of days ago I bought an Apple Magic Mouse. Unfortunaltey I am not able to get the mouse working without pairing each time I boot to the other system. In general the mouse runs fine on both systems, I use the bluetooth chip on the mainboard.

To get the mouse running without the annoying pairing process I followed older threads that discribed a way to pair bluetooth divices on OS X and Win 7, e.g.

http://www.tonymacx86.com/general-h...gic-trackpad-magic-mouse-bluetooth-setup.html

This procedure is not working for me. After changing the bluetooth link key in Windows registry with the OS X link key the mouse first is still working but if I reboot windows to check if these settings are saved, Windows won`t connect the mouse. The only option then is to delete the divice and pair again with a new key.

I hope someone already has solved this problem.

Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers,
Rob
 
I've had the same issue. I gave up after trying several work arounds.
 
Same Here, Any ideas?
 
Has anyone made any progress on this yet?

edit: missed the date... I'm actually trying to do this with Yosemite and Windows 8.1

nevermind... I missed the part about downloading PSTools. This actually worked for me with Windows 8.1 and Yosemite.
 
OK. I managed to get it to work. I was getting stuck on the Windows command:

Code:
[I]psexec -s -i regedit.exe[/I]

I didn't realize you need to download psexec.exe first. I thought the Windows command had changed or something. You can download it here...

Just unzip the file, and place psexec.exe in your windows\system32 folder.

After doing this I just followed the above instructions to the t, and sure enough everything worked perfectly.
