10.4.5 killed Mighty Mouse?

None of the extra buttons (apart from scroll wheel) seem to work after update. Preference's are still set.

Mighty Mouse is still working here. Do you have another mouse driver installed, or some third party peripheral which may conflict with it that needs updated drivers, or are you using USB Overdrive (which an update for 10.4.5 compatibility has recently become available)?

  • Apple Wireless Mighty mouse

    Hi,
    I have a wireless mighty mouse, and over the past couple of weeks I have noticed that the scroll wheel is acting funny. It will scroll down and side to side, but not up. This will happen sometimes then the mouse will start working normally again. It's still within the years warranty, but I'm not sure if I could find the receipt but was wondering if they would have a way to locate my purchase because I paid by card? Is there an easy way to fix this or should I just return it to Apple for a refund?
    Regards,
    Michael

    It takes a lot of caution, but I use a cleaning solvent (light fluid). I've tried cloth and dry t-shirts, but nothing had worked quite as well for me. The polycarbonate shell won't get marred by the solvent and I haven't had any problems with the rubber on the scroll bar.
    Of course using flammable liquids means you're doing so knowing the risks and can take responsibility for your own safety. I've heard of people who tried killing head lice with gasoline and the fumes were ignited by a water heater.

  • Turning off Mighty Mouse wakes computer from sleep

    Two part issue:
    After sleeping the computer I find that the "power down" on the Mighty Mouse causes the computer to awake!! Does anyone have a solution to this Mouse-killing problem?
    I find no instruction about shutting the Mighty Mouse (MM) off when it is not in use (say for overnight). I do see references to relatively short battery life so I imagine that we should power-down the MM when possible. But, the MM appears to be engineered pretty cheaply and it appears that it may not survive many cycles of power up-down. Anyone with thoughts on this?

    Bluetooth or USB devices won't wake up a portable running off of battery power. That probably doesn't help you, but I thought I'd note that. I don't think moving the switch actually triggers the wakeup. Of course you can't do that without holding it by the shell, which almost always senses a button press because of the design of the entire shell as right or left buttons.
    If you leave your mouse powered-on for a while, it should eventually go into standby mode with reduced power consumption. I use rechargeable batteries, so I don't worry too much about battery life. The batteries lasts several weeks before I need to recharge them and I can keep a charged set handy.
    So I take it you're using the mouse to select going to sleep in the pull-down menu and then try turning off the mouse. At least with a portable I can turn the mouse off first then either use the trackpad to put it to sleep or just close the lid.

  • Mighty Mouse broken

    I know it's not really for this area but I can't find anywhere else. My Mighty Mouse appears to be broken. Or more specifically, the scroll ball. Every so often it won't scroll down and feels really smooth. Those of you who have a MM should know what I mean. Usually the scroll ball has a clicking feel but it isn't and is just smooth. Its really getting annoying cos I cant find anything to fix it with. Can anyone suggest anything? Like if it just needs cleaning or a brand new mouse all together.
    Thanks

    It's a well-known problem. I put a splash of switch cleaner (or something similar), onto a couple of layers of tissue, turn the mouse upside down so the trackball is in contact, and give it a good roll-about. If you Google the problem, there are instructions as to how to dismantle your mouse to clean the rollers, but I wouldn't recommend it until you arrive at a "kill or cure" crossroads.

  • Does IceMat work with Mighty Mouse Wireless?

    I am looking for the perfect mousepad. I am tired of the tiny and flimsy mousepads that move all over the place.
    After looking around I found the IceMat. It looks pretty nice and seems like it might be a very good mousepad (It better for $30+).
    Has anyone used the IceMat with the Mighty Mouse (Wireless)? If so, how was it? Has anyone used the IceMat at all? What do you think?
    Any other suggestions for the perfect mousepad?
    IceMat Manufacturer site:
    http://www.icemat.com/
    IceMat on Amazon
    http://www.amazon.com/Icemat-10012-2nd-Edition-Blue/dp/B000BCZ8Q8

    I used IceMat before and I won't suggest it for any mouse from apple.
    If you really want a nice mousepad, go for FUNC1030. I am using it
    with apple mighty mouse and they work pretty well together.
    You can find more information about it on www.func.net
    The reason I don't suggest IceMat is that if you read the description from its website carefully, you should notice it's made of glass. It will kill your mouse very fast. That's why they also sell Icemat Padsurfers to protect your mouse. However, none of them work with mighty mouse. Also, for a mousepad which has a hard material surface, you need to clean it very often. At least once a week or might be more often.

  • Problem with Left Click (mighty mouse) and flash content

    Hi, Guys!!
    And you have some right cosmic_hippo , Why?
    Well think that the real problem it's something between Firefox and Flash content...
    because if i use Safari and i try make what i describe in the first post, i don't have any problem with the mouse settings.
    Only Happens when i use Firefox...
    Cheers.
    Well the issue is still there...

  • New Mac Mini and 2006/2007 Wireless Keyboard and Mighty Mouse

    Will my old wireless keyboard and mighty mouse from 2006 and 2007 work with the new Mac Mini?

    Thank You!

  • I have messed up the settings on my Mighty Mouse and don't know where they should be.  I cannot open a document by double-clicking anymore.  I don't know what setting adjusts that.

    I need help with my Mighty Mouse settings.  Don't understand the settings.  I can no longer open a document by double-clicking.  I think I changed my setting someway when I was trying to correct or find my up and down scrolling.   Please help. 

    I think you need to un-pair your mouse.   Leave it a few minutes than re-pair it as if you were starting from scratch and using the following details.   Item 1 will probably meet your needs.

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse keeps freezing after upgrading to Leopard

    My bluetooth mighty mouse has frequent, intermittent freezes (which appear to be a loss of sync to the iMac) after upgrading to Leopard (now 10.5.1) from 10.4.11 on my iMac 24" alum body. This mouse was rock solid on my iMac running Tiger. Luckily I do have a corded mouse which I've been forced to use the past week or so.
    Can anyone suggest anything?
    Thanks.

    I was just trying to help my Dad with the same exact issue (Mighty Mouse stops working on waking from sleep & trying to open bluetooth prefs at that point causes the system to lock up. Have to hold down power button to reboot)
    Oddly I have Leopard on my iMac 2.16 Core 2 Duo and have no issues with my Mighty Mouse.
    Hopefully someone comes up with an answer .... My Dad is 80 and just bought a new Powerbook and Mighty Mouse. It's hard to explain why the mouse doesn't work.

  • Mighty mouse alternative for OSX and XP

    Just ordered a Mac Pro - upgrading from G5 Powermac. I got the mighty mouse with the G5 and of course the MP comes with the same. I have gotten used to the mighty mouse to a point but part of the reason for getting the MP is for Windows and gaming. For this I think another mouse with 'real' buttons might be better. What are your recommendations for a quality wired multi-purpose mouse (XP and OSX) and are there any mouses (mice/moose/meece) that have a scroll wheel similar to the might mouse one (very useful in PS etc). I'm not keen on trackball types btw.
    Thanks

    The Logitech MX510. Love it w/ Mac and Windows.
    I'm a QA engineer w/ Avid and purchased this mouse for multi-button assignment mouse testing on mac and pc. I have one at home now too, it's the cat's meow. (sorry bad joke).
    I just couldn't get use to the mighty mouse. Don't dig the "Touch-sensitive top shell".

  • Connect Wireless Mighty Mouse to windows xp pro sp2 on bootcamp

    I recently installed windows xp pro sp2 on bootcamp i tried to hook up my Wireless Mighty Mouse and I got basically nowhere. I was able to get the computer to recognize it and i typed in the passkey "0000" and it knows that it is a bluetooth device and I changed the settings of the bluetooth to "always" be discoverable and still I have hit a dead end. I can still not seem to connect the wireless mouse in any way. What do I do???

    I FUIGURED IT OUT!!! omg im so happy right now. For anyone who might be wondering I'll tell you how to make it work it you had the same problem. Once you establish the mouse a device, highlight it in the devices menu, then click properties, then services, and once it is done searching check the box for the driver and click apply and your mouse should work.

  • Mighty Mouse no longer working properly

    The Mighty Mouse has been irritating me quite a bit because the scrollbar frequently stops working. Usually, the cleaning method provides a temporary solution (very temporary considering I've lost count of the number of times this has happened) but now, something different has happened. While trying to use the cleaning methods suggested, nothing worked. I kept on trying and now, not only does the scrollbar not work but the buttons don't work, either. Whenever I try to left- or right-click, my dashboard keeps popping up.
    Maybe if Mac could make a mouse that we could open up and fix, this wouldn't be a problem...

    Well there you go then.
    Contact Apple with regards to a replacement as I do believe the mouse has a 1 year warranty.

  • My wired mighty mouse no longer scrolls down - only up and sideways.

    My wired mighty mouse no longer scrolls down; only up and sideways. It could be a hardware problem and I guess I should go and by a new mouse but before I do I thought I'd check whether there was any parameter I could change to fix or test this. Anyone else had this problem? Cheers.

  • Wireless keyboard and mighty mouse do not work with windows Vista

    I have a new iMac core 2 duo 20" used by my granddaughter.
    The drive has been partitioned using 50-50 with Boot Camp Assistant to form 2 250 GB partitions and windows Vista has been installed on one of them. The installation process runs smoothly as does the process when the OSX disc is installed for the relevant drivers for keyboard, mouse, isight camera etc. At the end of this process it is necessary to click a :"finish" button but at this point the mouse and keyboard have frozen and there is no other way of inputting information. Restarting in windows takes me to the log in page but there is no way to input the user name and proceed further.
    Apple support has suggested hat I use a wired keyboard and mouse or call Microsoft support. Microsoft support have told me that they do not support Vista on a Mac.
    Any suggestions would be helpful.

    I had the same problem on the mac mini from my dad with windows XP.
    I could install everything smoothly but when i wanted to connect the mighty mouse and a wireles apple keyboard i had the same problem.
    I fixed this by using a mouse with cable and then add the keyboard and mouse via bluetooth in the configurationscreen. i had to do do this 6 times (the same thing) before it worked so maybe its the same in vista

  • Does apple care warranty cover mighty mouse?

    hi.
    as many has experienced, i experienced problems with scrolling up and/or down w the mighty mouse. i tried to clean it with a few methods, and the one that worked was when i used a clean piece of paper, turned the mouse upside down, and rubbed it forwards and backwards several times.
    unfortunately, it now seems that i might have solved the scrolling problem (but its slowly not scrolling as well already!). but i cant activate the 3rd button anymore. i press down on the ball and instead of activating the 3rd button, it right clicks or left clicks instead.
    i also notice the ball is not as smooth as before. there is some fraying on the surface of the ball.
    my intel imac has apple protection care plan till june 2009. can the mighty mouse be replaced?

    Actually in 2 months my Mighty Mouse will be 3 years old.
