3rd-party mouse drivers

I have a Kensington mouse on my MacBook which uses their Mouseworks software. A search here on "mouseworks" turns up zero, so I wanted to see if anyone with a Kensington mouse had success w/Leopard before I do the upgrade. Without the software the forward/reverse buttons don't work.
I already know now that the driver for the Logitech MX Revolution I bought on Saturday for the G5 isn't going to work as it uses the now-infamous Unsanity APE. Bleh.
(yeah I know about USB Overdrive)

OK, I can now CONFIRM that this problem IS with the latest (but rather old) Kensington V3.0 driver. From Kensington Tech Support:

Thank you for contacting Kensington Technical Support.
I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.
I understand your concern. I regret to inform you that Mouseworks 3.0 on 10.5 breaks the native Ctrl + Scroll to Zoom functionality, but for now the solution is to Uninstall Mouseworks if this functionality is preferred. As we test the Expert Mouse & MouseWorks on the release version of Leopard and found that all functionality/programmability works with MouseWorks installed except for scroll wheel zoom.
However as we have forwarded the issue to our software development team, we are expecting an updated release very soon.
I appreciate your understanding and patience.

Scroll direction with 3rd party mouse (Razer)?

Hi,
I've been wondering why my scroll direction went the wrong way after Lion. However, possible since I use a 3rd party mouse (Razer Deathadder), there is no option to change this under mouse.
Does anybody else have a workaround?
Daniel.

Unfortunately, thats not the window I get!! Here is mine.

Installing Windows XP professional and F6 (3rd party SATA drivers)

Forgive me if this is answered somewhere. I found a posting that was close but not quite the same, or maybe it is. This is my first system I have put together so please excuse the newby status. I am Using the K8T Neo2 motherboard (Via Tech VT8237 SATA) and the AMD 64 bit 3500+ chip. I have hooked up 2 Seagate 120 Gb Serial ATA hard drives. Also have a Sony DVD r/w drive and a 3.5 " floppy and they all seem to show up in the setup menu.
When I try to install the operating system (Windows XP professional) and the bottom of the screen says, press F6 for third party SATA drivers I press F6 and it does nothing but continue to load windows files up to the point when it does not recognize a hard drive and I have to exit with F3. Can anyone help???????? What is the possible reason hitting F6 does nothing, I have rebooted and tried several times. I cannot get to the point to choose the third party SATA driver. This is getting very frustrating...... Any help would be great. Thanks.

Hm...this is kind of a longshot, but you're not using the "Logitech Elite" keyboard ( http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=23-126-114&depa=0 ), are you? This keyboard has an annoying feature called the "F-Lock" because Logitech decided to apply custom functions to the various F-buttons (an okay idea in and of itself), and then foolishly decided to set the custom functions as being the default behavior of the buttons, so that the only way pressing "F6" actually causes the F6 keystroke to be sent is if the F-lock is enabled (which is extremely stupid...the keys should send the normal F-commands with the lock off, and having the lock on should enable the custom commands). If you have this keyboard, then just enable the F-lock and try again and it should work.
...if you have some other keyboard, then the above suggestions are good...always mash the hell out of F-buttons, and if it's a USB keyboard that isn't working right, try a PS2 keyboard. You might also be able to affect things by enabling "USB Legacy" support in the BIOS, though take note that having this enabled may cause your system to become unbootable (until the setting is turned back off).

3rd party mouse will not pair using Lion?

Just upgraded to Lion tonight. My HP Laser bluetooth Model N558 mouse which worked perfectly on the 17" macbook pro using Snow Leopard NOW will not pair with Mac. Downloaded the latest HP drivers, did a software update, restarted but mouse attemps to pair for about 1-2 seconds and then error message comes up saying the Mouce cannot pair with the Mac. Very frustrating and not finding any answers on MAC or HP forums. Error message on "select bluetooth device" says, "The device does not have the necessary services." It sure had the necessary services using Snow Leopard. Next error message, "The paring attempt was unsuccessful. The device is refusing the paring attempt..."
No matter what I have tried, new batteries, restarts, take out batteries for 10 minutes, holding down 'discover' button for 10 seconds. I've tried just about everything mentioned in the forums.
I don't enjoy the prospect of having to lug a usb mouse on my road trips but cannot find a solution.

OS X not pairing with 3rd party mouse

Hey Guys,
I got a new trust MI-5300p (there's no specification difference between this and the MI-5300m) mini bluetooth mouse yesterday.
I switched it on, the red scanning light came on and it behaved like a normal optical mouse (but with no cable or computer connection). That was good. I then pressed the connect button and tried to get OS X to connect to it. By default Bluetooth Setup Assistant uses a blank passkey. This failed so I tried no passkey (in "Any device" options) and got this:
Gathering information about your device
The computer needs information about your device to determine how it can interact with it. This should only take a few seconds.
Continue
then instantly:
Congratulations! Your computer is now set up to use your Bluetooth mouse.
Quit
But the mouse doesn't appear in any of the bluetooth or mouse settings in the control panel. (It hasn't paired.)
I have now tried booting in ubuntu (linux). The mouse connects just fine after running a few commands in the shell so I know the mouse isn't dead.
After trying to pair with OS X the mouse is still in connecting mode as it doesn't have its scanning light on (except briefly when switching off and on).
This problem has been replicated on an iBook which also has 10.4.6 installed.
Any ideas what is going wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!
12" Powerbook 1.5 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hey,
It seems that the problem is something to do with the paring process. I managed to get it working in the end by downgrading my system to 10.4.1 (I think), pairing the mouse and upgrading to 10.4.6 (now 10.4.7).
I haven't the guts to try re-pairing with 10.4.7 as I really don't have the time to reinstall.
When I didn't get any answers on the web I filled in an Apple bug report which is still "open" so I don't think the bug has been fixed anyway.
I hope that helps.
Is your mouse the same model as mine or a different one? If it is different in any way I think it would be worth letting Apple know as they may want to fix this sooner.

3rd party ASIO drivers for Creative external (USB) soundca

If you're using your USB soundcard for music making (recording) and you're suffering on
latency problems, you might want to check this out.
USB Audio (http://www.usb-audio.com/) is offering low latency USB ASIO driver, which is
statet to be compatible with Creative's external (USB) soundcard models:
- Audigy 2 NX (48 kHz only / not on Mac OS X yet),
- Extigy (48kHz only),
- MP3+ (48kHz only),
- SoundBlaster Li've 24bit external
<i>Limitations using Creative Extigy with this driver: 48 kHz, stereo output, line or
mic input (digital input only while output is muted), no MIDI, no remote control
functionality. We worked hard to change this, still it seems to be impossible at the
moment. </i>
USB ASIO is commercial product, but there is a demo version available, so you can test
if it would make your life feel easier (http://usb-audio.com/download.html).

Where can I get a 3rd party mouse pad for my HP Pavilion dv6 - left mousepad button broken again!

Broken AGAIN and just out of warranty. I had this replaced at 9 months and now it's broken again (at 15 mths) with light/moderate usage. I've seen lots of posts about this issue both on and off the HP forum. Please can you tell me where I can get a replacement mousepad that I can install myself.
Thanks.

The touchpad is part of the whole top cover so it is going to require a significant disassembly. The above is likely not your correct part either, but the top cover for all dv6's ought to be available on ebay for $50-80. Here is the Service Manual:

3rd Party SATA raid cards for internal drives?

All --
Apart from the discussion as to if RAID actually benefits a home desktop system, I am wondering if anyone has the lowdown on using 3rd party SATA raid cards to support the INTERNAL hard drives on the Mac Pro series?
My Mac Pro is still slated to be built at Apple and for now I have the minimum memory and HD spec being requested at Apple, with the plan to upgrade the memory and drives from OWC or another vendor.
I've toyed with the idea of utilizing Disk Utility's software RAID features (e.g. RAID 0 for scratch disks, RAID 1 for boot, RAID 0+1 for all else.) I've also toyed with the notion of searching for a hardware raid solution which would allow me to transfer the internal SATA cable runs from the motherboard to a host adapter card for an internal multi-channel experience (with options to create and break mirrors to external devices for backup purposes.)
So....
Has anyone experience or utilized 3rd party hardware raid controllers which can connect to the internal HD bays? Are there limitations to this (ie, does the boot drive HAVE to reside off the internal motherboard controllers, or can an internal hardware controller successfully boot the system) of which ought be noted?
Finally, in the event that a host adapter card cannot drive the interna bays, can anyone give feedback to hardware SATA cards to power external drive bays with support for Disk Utility (to allow RAID1 pairings of internal drives to external snapshot-backup drives)?
Thanks for your time,

I am wondering if anyone has the lowdown on using 3rd party SATA raid cards to support the INTERNAL hard drives on the Mac Pro series?
There are many 3rd party controllers that support the internal HDs if an internal iPass connector is used. The problem is that some are bootable but most are not.
The Areca ARC-1680ix-12 and the HighPoint RocketRAID 4320 are bootable. However, the system cannot be installed via the Apple DVD. Instead the user needs to clone a boot drive with the proper drivers to the boot volume on the controller and then boot from the 3rd party controller.
The other issue I found is that these controllers do not support Boot Camp. If Boot Camp is desired, my recommendation would be to leave the internal HDs on the Mac Pro internal bus intact and use the 3rd party controller for external storage. This method provides four internal bays that are bootable, support Boot Camp and can be used for system backups. I use the 3rd party controller for external storage for large RAID sets and hot swapping hard disks.
With the internal bays intact and external hot swap RAID storage available the user can support Boot Camp, multiple system volumes and large external RAID sets. From my experience using a 3rd party controller with the internal HD bays always has some limitations. The user usually does not realize it unit later when Boot Camp does not work or the computer fails on a system upgrade or the controller does not work at all with a new version of Mac OS X.
Staying with the standard internal Mac Pro bay configuration will be the best configuration to avoid compatibility issues with future versions of Mac OS X. It is rumored that the new Snow Leopard may require 64-bit drivers. If that is the case, I would expect most if not all existing 3rd party controller drivers to fail. Some drivers will be upgraded after a few months while others may not. Having the internal Mac Pro SATA controller intact should at least allow the Mac Pro to boot if my guess about compatibility issues is correct.
can anyone give feedback to hardware SATA cards to power external drive bays with support for Disk Utility (to allow RAID1 pairings of internal drives to external snapshot-backup drives)?
There are a large number of external controllers that work with Disk Utility. Here are some of my favorites.

3rd party USB mouse won't work with G4 iBook 10.3.9

3rd party USB mouse (see specs below)won't work with G4 iBook 10.3.9.
http://www.inland-products.com/singleproduct.asp?search=usb&partnum=07340-SpecR
I notice the specs say this mouse works with windows(no mention of Mac) yet the guy where I bought it assured me it would work fine with a Mac. The keyboard/mouse preferences shows a muouse but there is no movement or response from mouse. I would assume it was not reading it if not from appearance of "mouse" preference. I also have intalled UBBoverdrive in hopes that that might help but device/mouse menue does not appear to support mouse.
Is there a way to get this to work or should I just return it to the vendor?
Can anyone suggest a good CHEAP 3n button mouse for Mac?

The name of that mouse is deceiving. It is not a USB mouse it is a wireless mouse. Unfortunately without the proper OS X drivers for the USB/wireless adapter you won't be able to get that thing to work.
If you are looking for an inexpensive USB mouse, checkout the Kensington Mouse in a Box Optical.
Does your iBook have Bluetooth? If so take a look at the Kensington PilotMouse Mini Bluetooth Mouse. I have one of these and it works great.

3rd Party Access 2000 JDBC Drivers

Wondering if anyone can recommend or rate any 3rd party MS Access JDBC drivers - I am running an app using Tomcat 4.0.2, on Windows 2K, currently using the JDBC/ODBC bridge from Sun, looking for something a little more specific and reliable for my app - company willing to spend the $$ to get something good.
Thanks!
Geoff

hi Geoff ,
I would recommend you the aveconnect driver from Atinav. It is a type 3 driver, and is a reliable and nice implementation. We have been using it for quite some time now and our developers here have seen it to be quite efficient and good.
this url may help you..

they provide a 30 day trial, and was worth a buy..
hope that helps,

Upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro Update 1 and it killed all my 3rd party drivers

Hoping someone can help - my PC upgraded Windows 8.1 Pro (fresh install a few months ago) with the 'Update 1 patch' which was made available a few days ago. It was done via Windows Update - I let it do its thing for about 15 minutes, restart etc.
Once the machine restarted, I noticed the following:
- no network connection
- no sound
- no working camera
I went to the device manager and see a stack of 3rd-party devices with exclamation marks, all stating code 28 (the drivers for this device are not installed). I go to each device and try to update the drivers - it looks like its going to work and then
gives the error "The system cannot find the file specified".
I do some googling and find the setupapi.dev.log. The log for every device with a problem reads like this:

It seems like 'update 1' as crapped all over my driver store.
What can I do to fix this - I have tried a raft of things such as pnputil commands to add the driver INFs manually (they fail saying 'element not found'), but still I am stuck without sound, network and camera.
This will be the last time I let Microsoft update automatically install - it will now be 100% manual, and done after a few weeks to ensure there aren't bugs.

Audio volume and mouse scroll wheel-WMM inferior to 3rd party?

Whenever I can't use my Wireless Mighty Mouse (maybe I forgot it at home etc.) I try to use other mice lying around from bygone eras.
When I end up using a 3rd party bluetooth mouse, say a Kensington, or even a Microsoft, I notice that I can click on the Volume menulet on the menu bar at the top right of my OS screen, and with the volume bar expanded downwards I can then use the scroll wheel to adjust the volume.
When I use the Apple mouse and its scroll ball nothing happens. I have to actually click and drag the volume slider, a much more precision demanding exercise.
What gives? How come the mouse driver for a Kensington/Microsoft allows something the Apple's own seems to ignore? Is there some Terminal tweak I could do to enable this behavior on the WMM?
Many thanks, as always, people.

the mouse works fine doing all the other things. well, i dunno, how changing USB would make any difference. Though I did try that, with no effect.
i have a PS/2 mouse & keyboard connected with a PS/2-USB adapter.
And *sometimes the scroll wheel does work*, & then suddenly stops doing what its supposed to do!!??

SQL Developer and 3rd Party Drivers: JavaDB

Go the latest 3rd party drivers for MySQL and <ugh>MS Access</ugh> but what I am looking for is a third party driver for Apache_derby JAVADB. Anyone?
Manually adding the derby.jar in the thirdparty drivers under Preferences appears to do nothing in the SQL Developer GUI.

Currently, only the named third party database (MS SQL Server, Sybase, MYSQL and Access) are supported. Generic third party connection isn''t available until 2.0
You could try defining a custom JDBC URL, but i suspect there ins't enough underlying support to make it worthwhile.

Install 3rd party drivers when installing app

Running LabVIEW 2010. I have an application that runs with custom hardware plugged into the USB port. The device is not an NI device, and therefore, does not use NI drivers. I have 3rd party drivers for the device, and rather than install them separately, I would like the option of installing them when the user installs the application software. Is this possible?
Thanks.

On the Advanced page there is an option to specify an executable to run after your installer has completed.
Please review the LabVIEW documentation for this page of the installer

3rd party bluetooth mouse can't connect Lion

Hi there,
There is a problem I found in Mac OS X Lion, I found that the 3rd party bluetooth mouse that couldn't be connect to those computer that installed Mac OS X Lion, beside that, I also got connect and use normally with my bluetooth mouse when I using Snow Leopard, and also I get test with some computer running Snow Leopard that I have, its running good. But not in Lion.
I tried to reset nvram or reset the bluetooth setting on my Mac Book Air, also not working, and I tried my bluetooth mouse connect to HK Apple Store's demo iMac, also not working, but it just working at my brothers iMac that running Snow Leopard!
Could I have any advice about this?
Thank you!

On the Mac with Lion installed, the Bluetooth preferences may be corrupted.
Go to /LIbary/Preferences
Move the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
Make sure the batteries in the mouse are fresh.
Now open System Preferences > Bluetooth
Make sure On and Discoverable are selected.
Click: Set Up New Device ...
See if that works.
