10.5.2 crasing while using wireless logitech mouse

Having just installed the 10.5.2 update my mac was constantly crashing. Unable to work out what was wrong, I had a suspicion it was my mouse. After disconnecting my Logitech trackball, everything was fine. My colleague who is also running 10.5.2 and a logitech mouse experienced the same problem all yesterday. I'd submit this issues at the logitech site - though there is nowhere to do so.

Hi hunthunthunt-
greetings and welcome to the Apple boards
Good job troubleshooting. Is this a BlueTooth device or does it use a dongle?
Unfortunately it is up to Logitech to release updated compatible drivers. Is there anything on the support section of the site that refers to updated drivers?
Luck-

I'm having problems with a wireless Logitech mouse

Since upgrading to ML i'm having problems with a wireless Logitech mouse that worked well prior to the update. I'm using the current Logitech Control Center software. No other mouse software is on my Mac Mini. If I use a Guest Aacount the problems ( wheel and back button ) are not present. Any suggestions?

You might try the Logitech support site. There are communities on there:
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/keyboard-mice-combos
Here is a link to drivers:
Logitech Drivers
You might check your home folder/Library to see if you can find a Logitec .plist.
You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Hold down the option key while using the Finder "Go To Folder" command. Enter ~/Library. Delete the .plist(s) for the mouse.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

I just purchased a used wireless Mighty Mouse. Do I need to have Blue Tooth installed on my machine to use it?

Hey
So I just purchased a used wireless Mighty Mouse at a Goodwill very inexpensively on the 50/50 chance it would work. Right out of the gate I figured I might need to have Blue Tooth installed on my machine to use it, is this the case?
I have a Mac Pro Tower running 10.6.7, but I didn't opt for the Blue Tooth a few years ago when I purchased it. I knew I should've!
Thanks.

Well I purchased the Mac Pro in 2009 I believe. It could've been late 2008, but I can't quite remember. When I ordered it from the Apple store online I customized it. I had the amount of Ram I wanted put into it, and had two hard drives installed. While doing all of my customizations I could've opted to have the Blue Tooth card installed into the computer but for some reason I didn't see myself using it. I did get the generic wired mouse that came with the computer.

Wireless Logitech mouse with Leopard

I just bought a wireless Logitech optical mouse that uses a usb receiver. Every time I move the mouse when my Macbook Pro is asleep, the computer wakes up. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
Thanks

No. That is normal behavior. If you don't want the movement to wake up the computer, then turn off the mouse before putting the computer to sleep. There should be an on-off switch or button on the bottom of the mouse.

Unable to connect wireless print server while using wireless modem to ISP

Unable to connect an HP Laserjet 1320 thru the JetDirect ew2400 External Print Server to an imac G5 that uses the 2WIRE352 modem for ISP access thru ATT. Either the ISP is connected and works, or the printer works but no internet access. HP (after 1hr 15 min.) said I need to change/access the "infrastructure" in the OSX. Is that correct? & if so, how do I do this? Do I need to hire Apple Tech Support to do this? How much will that cost. I'm ready to send the Print Server back to HP for a refund.

I would post your issue in the Printing & Faxing forum area. More chance for some of the gurus like Greg Sahli to respond.

While using firefox, when mouse over link causing monitor to crash

Windows 7; Dell studio xps
On mouse over a link/photo link and/or click on a link and my monitor goes into standby mode. Monitor still on (as is my computer) but cannot reestablish visual on monitor. Have used Explorer in the past and never had this problem. This error happens almost every time when I perform an image search with Google then mouse over a resulting image.

Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].

HT3986 Hello, as a extremely advanced user, after trying to install Targus AMB09EU on 64bit Windows 7, I have reached a stage where no new Bluetooth devices are detected, while Apple wireless kb+mouse still work perfectly, can somebody give any input plea

The device I tried to install was Targus AMB09EU mouse.
The end result was losing ability to detect any new Bluetooth devices, although Apple kb+mouse works.
Any input would be appreciated.

This really is a question best aimed at Microsoft and Targus user forums, you may not get an answer here.

Can't Connect to Apple TV using Wireless

I am having a problem connecting to my Apple TV from my Macbook while my mac is wireless. I see the Apple TV just fine in iTunes but it syncs really slow while using wireless. It connects just fine when my mac is using an ethernet cable. It does not matter if the Apple TV is using ethernet or wireless. If my Mac is using wireless the connection is really slow.
I see the Apple TV just fine in iTunes all the time but when I try to sync or stream it's slow going. I have a Linksys 802.11n router. Could it be interference? Any help would be appreciated.

I have a sim. problem. My Mac Book Pro works perfectly with the Apple TV when I turn off Air Port and plug in a Cat5. But It will not do anything not even show it in iTunes when using the Air Port. I have a older Power mac Dual G4 using a belkin wireless USB adapter and it syncs perfectly I have it set up as the main source so I don't tie up my laptop but I do have music on my Mac Book Pro that I like to stream, and it's a pain to plug in the ethernet cable every time.

Middle-clicking woes in X11 Apps using a mighty mouse

Hi,
This has been a frustrating issue ever since I got my new work computer (it's been over a year and a half) and I've just suffered through it. While middle-clicking a half dozen times today until it worked, I finally decided to ask to see if there's a solution other than scrapping the mighty mouse.
The problem is that when I use XEmacs (an X-windows app I use for coding), I like to use the middle click to paste, but I almost always manage to make the scroll-ball scroll inadvertently which causes the middle-click to not work and hence, nothing gets pasted. I know that there are other methods I could utilize, like setting up option-left-click or by command-c/command-v, or by using menus, but that's not what I want. I just want to highlight and middle-click. I want to have a middle-click that works with one try every time. I use all the clicking surfaces, so I don't want to map middle click to some other button. Is there a way I can tell X11 to ignore the scroll and middle-click anyway? Can someone give me a pointer on how to middle click better? This is crazy.
Thanks,
Rob

Have you tried an alternate Mouse driver?
USB Overdrive
<http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/13443>
SteerMouse
<http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/27620>
I think they have demo modes.
Personally, I use a Logitech mouse with about 9 buttons. My scroll wheel can be pushed left or right. Left is configured to Copy and Right is configured for Paste. Via USB Overdrive it does Command-C/Command-V for Mac applications, and the correct thing for X11 applications. That is to say, I can have the buttons do different things for different applications.

New iMac using supplied Mac Mouse

When I was using my iBook with Tiger, I used a Logitech Mouse which had left and right clickers and scroll wheel. Now I'm using the supplied white Mac mouse (single click with scroll) that came with my iMac, and Leopard. With the Logitech, I could highlight a word holding down the left click, then move the cursor to the highlighted word, and hold down the right clicker, and a scroll down had dictionary. When moved to dictionary, and let go, the dictionary would show that word. Also, if I held down the right click on a blank area of a web page, the scroll down had "back" and "forward" etc., thus I could go back a page. Now I have to move my cursor to the arrows at the top left of the page to go backward, or forward. Do I have to get my old Logitech out again to do this, or is there some kind of set up that would enable the above shortcuts? Thank you for any help. pdm

The Apple mouse does have left and right click, but you have to enable it in the "Keyboard & Mouse" system preferences. (If right-click is not enabled, you can press Control while left-clicking.) When using right-click on the Apple mouse, be sure your finger is lifted from the left side of the mouse.

F9 and F10 keys and my Logitech Mouse

I've been using the wireless Logitech Mouse with my iMac G5 and have got all my buttons set juuuuuust the way I like them. I recently got the PB G4 17" and I am trying to set my mouse buttons like my iMac G5. I having problems with the F9 and F10 keys ( all windows and application windows ) When I press them the keyboard illumination thingy pops up. If I look in keyboard shortcuts in system preferences F9 and F10 are set for all windows and app. windows?? two actions for the same buttons??

To use the F9 and F10 keys to control Exposé, you need to do one of two things:
- Press the fn key with F9 and/or F10
- Go to System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard and check the box 'Use F1-F12 keys to control software features' and use the fn key with F9 and/or F10 to control the keyboard backlighting. If you check that box, then Exposé will behave in the same way it does on your iMac wrt your mouse buttons.

Logitech Mouse (MX 1000), Logitech Control Centre 2.3.1, Leopard and iTunes

I have installed Leopard ever since it came out in Late Oct. On my Mac mini (PPC), I use a logitech mouse (MX1000) with the latest software from Logitech. Everything was fine until this morning, whenever I use iTunes if I move my mouse pointer anywhere near the volume slider, it automatically moves the slider to the far left (no volume). So now I cannot control the volume or even skip tracks because as I mentioned, if the mouse pointer is anywhere near the volume slider it moves the slider.
I am wondering if anyone with a similar setup of mine is experiencing the same problems as me.

Hi, all!
Just a "me, too" to add to oceans' comments about SteerMouse.
I tried then purchased it recently, primarily because it provides what I consider superior mouse tracking speed/acceleration control for my Apple wireless mouse, well beyond the built-in drivers. When I switch to an older Logitech mouse (OpticalMouse11), SteerMouse enables some handy programmable functions I'd never been able to manage before. Thus, worth it to me... [1]
Of course, the new Logitech Control Center 2.0.0 is free, so I'd suggest trying both to evaluate what provides acceptable performance.
Regards,
Dean
[1] I'd guess the tried-and-true USB Overdrive would also be excellent for this case; I simply haven't tried recent versions because Bluetooth support hasn't been added yet. But it's been the favorite of many Mac folks for years.

Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse internal speaker not working !!!

Recently I bought an used Wireless Mighty Mouse (first version with grey side buttons), the mouse is working perfectly minus the single little detail that I can not hear any clicking sound from the internal tiny speaker inside the mouse when I use the little scroll ball above the mouse or when I press the grey side buttons, is this normal or should I hear the clicking sound simulated by the internal speaker? is there a way to enable or disable the internal speaker by software? Maybe is disabled by default, I don't know. I really don't think the speaker could be damaged due to the rest of the mouse is working like a charm but maybe mine came without a speaker, could be? or maybe it got disconnected somehow. Any clues or ideas would be very helpful. Thanks !

I know what a microswitch is, please look at these links, here are the proof there is (or maybe there was) a tiny speaker in some mighty mouse and wireless mighty mouse:

and this:
http://macdailynews.com/2005/08/02/apples_new_mighty_mouse_provides_audio_feedba ck_for_clicking_and_scrolling/
and I can keep giving you tens of links to proof you that actually there is (or maybe there was) a tiny speaker inside the mighty mouse and the wireless mighty mouse, If yours came without one it doesn't necessarily mean all came without one, right? That is why I asked you what version you have in order to figure out which ones does have the speaker and which one doesn't.

Logitech mouse scroll not as smooth as trackpad

Hello all, I have Logitech G700s mouse for my new Macbook pro 15" Retina (2013 Haswell).
When using my Macbook with the built in trackpad, scrolling is super smoth and very easy on the eyes. But when using the Logitech mouse, scrolling is very (choppy, stuttery, jitter - whatever you want to call it) just not as smooth as the trackpad. Is anybody else having the same problem?
I tried with and without Logitech drivers. Logitech drivers actually did help a bit, but scrolling still not as smooth as the trackpad. Is this something I will just have to deal with? or is there a fix? is it the mouse problem?
Any help would be appreciated.

Right Logitech mice aren't the best at scrolling. I have 2 of their mice and both work OK accept for the scroll wheel. They work but they jump around. Moving the wheel forward sometimes makes the system think it is first moving backwards. I find the Wheel scroll detents very weak and any pressure applied to it can cause it to think it has move forwards or backwards without really moving it at all. Just something I have gotten use to over the 2+ years I used them.

Logitech Mouse

Before I took my computer to the genus bar for repair, I didn't have this problem.
When my computer goes to sleep (white Macbook) and I want to wake it up, I used to move the mouse and it would wake up. Now when I move the mouse it doesn't wake up. I have to touch a key or move the trackpad mouse. I am using a logitech mouse connected to the USB. It is a regular mouse, with a cord/wire.
How do you guys/girls wake up your computer from sleep?

only one way - any key
