Macbook not working with Microsoft Mouse

Hey guys. I'm not really sure this is the right place to post this, but I'll try anyway (if you can think of a better place, please let me know).
I got a Microsoft Mobile Mouse 4000 for Christmas and have been having some issues with it. I installed the CD it came with and everything, and it works, but the tracking speed of the cursor on the screen is really slow. When I go into my settings to try and make it faster, it will work while the settings window is still open, but as soon as I close it, the tracking goes back to being really slow.
I called Microsoft about the problem and the guy pretty much said "Oh... you have a Mac? pause Yeah, I can't help you" EVEN THOUGH the box said that the mouse is compatible with Macs.
It's too late to take this thing back now, and I don't want to because I really like the mouse, but the tracking speed is just too slow to be efficient. Can somebody PLEASE give me some help on how to make the tracking speed stay fast??

You can try this: [MouseZoom - 2.2|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/mac/12205]. I use it with my Magic Mouse and it works well. It adds a Pref in System Preferences called MZoom and when you goto it, a message comes up that it must close and re-open. When you click OK, a scale pops up that lets you adjust your speed from faster to incredible. Give it a try... it's free.

  • Does Lion really not work with Microsoft Office?

    does Lion really not work with Microsoft Office?

    I am afraid I have reverted to Snow Leopard as I was having one problem after another with Lion and for every problem I was solving, two new ones cropped up. I won't bore you with a long list, but one example is whenever I clicked on a single saved document to view, Microsoft Word would open not only that particular document, but also half a dozen other ones as well. Also, my Canon printer did not operate properly nor would Aol. With a lot of other weird stuff happening every day, the final straw was when my Time Capsule wouldn't backup properly, but just 'hang' indefinitely.
    Luckily, I have two HD disks on my iMac and I had installed Lion on HD2 while still retaining Snow Leopard on HD1. I also made a Lion installation disk for future installation when all these software bugs have been sorted.
    I am back to normal service with Snow Leopard and shall not return to Lion until at least the next upgrade/patch becomes available. I so looked forward to Lion as well, but I was fighting a losing battle.
    I would suggest anyone who is in my position trying to stem the tidalwave of software problems with Lion, make an installation disk for Lion and go back to SL until the next upgrade.

  • HP Simple Pass not working with Microsoft Edge in Windows 10

  • Re: auto save not working with microsoft office on OS Lion

    Is there anyone else having issues with the auto-save/versions not working with Microsoft office on the OS Lion Upgrade?

    It seems (from some testing I've just done) that:
    1. It's not an explicit choie or preference - it's just there, in the background, invisible
    2. Your textedit document has to have been saved once (i.e given a name), or you've reopened a previously saved document
    If those conditions are met, Textedit will keep the doc saved.
    My test was:
    Open existing docuement
    Make changes
    Wait a few seconds
    Quit Textedit
    Reopen Textedit - and there's the doc with all the changes.
    I ran the test again, quitting Textedit immeditaley I had made the change - and it saved the change successfully.
    Hope that helps

  • ICloud 2.1.1 not working with Microsoft Outlook 2013?

    HI, I needed some assistance from the experts here.
    I just had my laptop reformatted and redownload & installed the latest version of iCloud 2.1.1 Control Panel for Windows & Microsoft Office 2013.
    When I click on the buttom "Apply" to setup outlook for iCloud, i got this error message at Step 4 of 7. It keeps refreshing these 2 sentences "Downloading Contacts from iCloud" & "Uploading Contacts to iCloud" & eventually errored out with this error message "Your setup couldn't be started because of an unexpected error".
    I checked my Microsoft Outlook 2013 & there is an iCloud Plug-In.
    But clicking on the "Go Online" button doesn't do anything.
    I used to be able to click on a "Go Online/Refresh" button in the past (with Microsoft Office 2007) and able to then synchronise new contacts in my outlook to iphone. But apparently, this doesn't work anymore.
    Thereafter, I tried uninstalling iCloud 2.1.1 and reinstalling it again immediately (without rebooting my laptop) & the same error message occurs when i tried to setup outlook for iCloud. And the worst thing is now the "iCloud plug-in" disappear inside Microsoft Outlook 2013 totally.
    I tried reading several threads and got confused.
    Is iCloud 2.1.1 Control Panel for Windows not compatible with Microsoft Outlook 2013 yet?
    Do I just have to wait for a new release from Apple or did i do something wrong in the installation of the softwares?
    Aprpreciate the assistance from some experts here.

    Well it's now the 14th and no replies, so have you sorted it.
    I could not get Outlook 2013 working with the control panel, although was working it was saying it was not configured.
    Worse still tried going back to Outlook 2007 and it did not want to know, in the end a disk image restore was required.
    I will try Outlook 2013 again in a few months maybe.

  • Ifilter not working with Microsoft Indexing Service

    I'm running the Adobe Reader 9.3.1 on our Windows 2003 Server utilizing the Indexing Service.  Our indexing was working until something changed and we lost all indexing for any pdf.  Other documents were operating fine.
    I ran the install for the latest reader believing that maybe some other update had caused the problem.  I've set up a test environment with a clean Windows 2003 Standard Server utilizing the Indexing Service and successfully recreated the issue.  On the clean server, I installed Adobe Reader 9.3.1, created a catalog with 5 pdf files in the target folder, indexed the files, and attempted to search using the query tool available for managing the Indexing Service.
    Adobe ifilter v6 solves the problem but does not generate the Characterization (Abstracts) nor is the VPath available.  I've been at this for two days trying different alternatives, searching the web, and coming up with a whole lot of nothing.
    Any thoughts, hints, or ideas appreciated!

    Update: I uninstalled 9.3.1, installed 8.2.0, manually added an item to the registry and I'm indexing and searching again.  I had manually added the line for the 9.3.1 install as well but to no avail.
    Here's the working edit
    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex
    Multi-String Value:  DLLsToRegister
    Add "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRdIF.dll" to the end of the string as an extra line.
    Viola, you're working again.
    By the way, indexing doesn't work in 9.3.0 either.

  • One of USB ports not working with wireless mouse USB receiver (MBP mid-2009

    Hi,
    I've got a weird problem with one of the USB ports (the one next to SD card slot). I use a Logitech VX Nano (wireless) mouse.
    When I plug the usb receiver to the USB port, no device can be detected. But when trying the other USB port, all works fine.
    I also tried using a usb extension cable with the USB port (problematic one). All works fine again.
    The same happens with windows xp pro.
    Any help appreciated.

  • Strange- A 1" horizontal strip on the screen (which includes the tabs + 0.5cm above and below) does not work with the mouse pointer, only with firefox

    The mouse wont click anywhere over a 1" strip that includes the area where the tabs are lined, and extends 0.5cm above and below this. So, to open or close a tab I can only use Ctrl T or Ctrl W respectively. And, for ex, I cannot click on the top most line on Facebook (which has the Home, messages, news feeds options etc) or that of Twitter, and so on. I have used Mozilla Firefox all my life and this has never happened before. I don't have this problem with any other browser like Internet explorer or Google Chrome. I find it very strange.

    Both the Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause this issue. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

  • My macbook is loaded with microsoft work and every time I try and open the program I get an error reading and it will not open.  Powerpoint and the other applications still respond!

    my macbook is loaded with microsoft word for macs and every time I try and open the program I get an error reading and it will not open. This is what it says:
    The application Microsof Word quit eunexpectedly.  Powerpoint and the other applications still respond!

    The joys of Microsoft!
    Maybe the preferences file is corrupted.  You should be able to find the Word preferences file in the folder:
    your user name/Library/Preferences
    Its name is com.microsoft.Word.plist
    I suggest you drag this another folder and try Word again. 
    If that doesn't work then you might find clearing the cache files will fix the problem.  You can do this manually but I never bother. Instead I use a program like Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner (shareware) or Onyx (free). These programs do lots of other maintenance jobs so it's worth having at least one of them.

  • Modifer keys do not work with mouse in Illustrator

    Below is a copy of a bug report I just submitted to Adobe. I don't suppose any users have run across this and found a solution or workaround?
    I found someone else with this problem in an archived topic thread, but the only response that poor fellow got was an accusation of not following instructions (His problem wasn't user error, BTW).
    Thanks
    ******BUG******
    Concise problem statement:
    Modifer keys do not work with mouse: For example, free transform or rotate behaviors that require "Click-Ctrl" .
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. select object
    2. select free transform tool
    3. left click (without releasing) a corner of the bounding box.
    4. start dragging
    5. press ctrl
    Results:
    object behaves as though the ctrl key was not pressed. i.e. the cursor does not change shape and the object scales rather than distorts.
    Expected results: The cursor should change shape as the ctrl key is pressed and the object should distort rather than scale.
    Additional information: This behavior is intermittent. Occasionally Illustrator recognizes the "Click-Ctrl" combination and behaves exactly as the help file predicts it will. The cursor changes shape and the object distorts rather than scales. I can offer no rhyme or reason for when Illustrator will behave as advertised and when it will ignore the modifier keys.
    The example above involves the free transform tool, but the problem occurs just as often with other tool behaviors that require a modifier key + mouse combination.
    Primarily using Wacom Intuos3 tablet. (with latest drivers), but have also tried combinations with microsoft mouse or both mice installed.
    Also, immediately after an occurrence Illustrator bug, left AI open, went to a different app that uses mouse+modifier (Ctrl+Click). That different app recognizes Ctrl+Click with no problems whatsoever.

    Thanks Guys,
    Good to know it's working for you. I guess that's the nature of intermittent bugs. Of course, Adobe's bug report form has a field for version, which I, of course, filled in. Sorry I didn't add it to this post. I'm using the latest version CS3 v13.0.2.
    Stephen,
    Sorry I was not more clear when I said, "For example, ...". I was talking about the modifier keys not working with several different tools. The Free Transform tool advertises functionality that is supposed to work with a "Click (down, but don't release)then hold down Ctrl" combination. The Rotate tool advertises a behavior that is supposed to work with an "Alt-Click" combination. These are just 2 examples of the modifier keys not working. I focused primarily on one example in the bug report(ctrl after and in addition to click in the free transform tool, not alt-click in the rotate tool).
    Here is what I expect(quoted from Adobe's CS3 help file)
    (From the "Distort Objects with the Free transform tool" help topic)
    "Select one or more objects.
    Select the Free Transform tool .
    Start dragging a corner handle on the bounding box (not a side handle), and then do one of the following:
    Hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) until the selection is at the desired level of distortion.
    Hold down Shift+Alt+Ctrl (Windows) or Shift+Option+Command (Mac OS) to distort in perspective."
    (from the "Rotate an object by a specific angle" help topic:)
    You can control the exact angle of rotation with the Rotate command.
    Select one or more objects.
    "Do one of the following:
    To rotate around the center point, choose Object > Transform > Rotate, or double-click the Rotate tool.
    To rotate around a different reference point, select the Rotate tool. Then Alt‑click (Windows) or Option‑click (Mac OS) where you want the reference point to be in the document window.
    Enter the rotation angle in the Angle text box...."
    These Tool based mouse-key combinations do occasionally work as they are supposed to, so I know what the expected results are supposed to look like, but whether they work or not appears to depend on the phase of the moon, the day of the week, and the color of the president's underwear.
    Other non-tool based mouse-key combinations in Illustrator work consistently all the time - Ctrl-A for Select All as just one example that always works.
    Thanks Again

  • Application is not working with mouse

    Dear All,
    We have a strange issue in the our application (Oracle form) in the one of our client machine.
    Some times the forms are not able to work with the mouse but is able to work with the keyboard. After one or two machine restart its again working. When the issue occur we can able to work in other applications using mouse.
    Our Applications server is in Other country and client are accessing from India.
    This occurs for some user and not for all.
    Application server Version          10.1.2.0.2.
    Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit
    Java Plug-in version 1.6.0_31 .
    Please any info will help us lot.

    Thank you for the quick replies Michael Ferrante and HamidHelal.
    But since its occurring for some users (perticulary indian users) and some times. And also its occurring in production environment not in development environment.
    Even the java control panel is not working with mouse.
    For other country customers everything working fine.
    So its difficult for me to apply the patch with these uncertainties.
    Checking with fresh java installation and let you know the status.
    Thanks.

  • Macbook Pro 2011 DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected

    My Macbook Pro (Early 2011) DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected. If get the blue screen and then can use the macbook but nothing is displayed on the TV. If i go into display I can see that there are two screens but nothing displayed on the TV. If i take the power cable out at this point the TV shows the second desktop as expected. If i then reconnect the cable, the screen flickers, as though it is being affected by the power cable, and the screen goes blank on the TV. Only if i remove the DVI cable do i get the blue screen again. If i remove the power cable and reconnect it will do it every single time, so i cannot see it being a TV issue or a minor glitch.
    I have had this working previously but at the minute it seems to not be playing ball....any thoughts
    Thanks
