Apple Mouse Slow - Anyway to speed up the tracking?

I've been using a Mighty Mouse for a while which is fine, but one thing that annoys me is that its quite slow tracking across the screen with the tracking on FULL fastest..
I have a nice small nifty PC mouse, which on a Windows machine is very nifty and quick, and its USB but when plugged into the Mac, it again becomes quite sluggish..
As the mouse is the main interaction between me and the computer, is there any other setting in order to speed this up?
I have this quite fast on an XP PC, and enhanced pointer position on, and its quite nifty getting alot of things done, and moved around.
I would love to use this PC mouse (I know, not ideal) with my MBP for the best of both worlds. I did try a Magic Mouse which looks good, but it felt the same.
I just wanted to know if there was

Anyway to change how the track pad behaves on Yoga 13?

Hi
I just bought a Yoga 13 and while I can change the speed the mouse moves is there anyway I can change:
1) the speed the track pad scrolls a page?
2) can I change the direction the page moves when I move my hand?
ON the pad when I swipe downward the the page moves upward ?
Is there anyway to make it to where I can swipe down and have the page move down?
The pads I use at work work that way and its far more natural to me that way
Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The're all in Control Panel>Mouse>Device Settings>Settings
Turn off Ënable Reverse Scrolling and you can adjust the scroll speed in the same place

How to slow down and speed up a track in an arrangement re remix query

Hi, I've been asked to do a house/dance remix for a track where the client wants the track to start at a typical dance bpm and then slow down to the original track tempo 2 minutes in, then speed back up to the dance tempo...here's an example...around 1.20 mins is where you'll see this happening...

How do I do this in Logic 9? I'm clueless...

you can set tempos in the Tempo List which is under the Options menu. In That window there is another options menu where the tempo operations window lives. You can set locators between which you can do tempo fades up or down.

Can i change the speed of the track?

I got one track that instrumental and other one is vocal..and i hope someone can teach me how to change the speed of the vocal in garageband.thanks!

"in every track you have the option to check or uncheck the 'follow tempo and pitch' option"
This does not appear anywhere in the interface.
"you have to change the region's color to purple first)."
The suggested (obscure) key combo does nothing.
If you delete all tracks and then drag a wave file from Finder into your project, GarageBand messes up both the playback speed and pitch. Furthermore, the so-called track "track info" on the right makes no sense. It always displays "Real Instrument" and "Master Track", even when this is not the type of track you're working with.

Has anybody solved the slow wireless connections speeds of the new Imacs

I have just purchased the new imac...and was made aware of the disastrous connections speeds using wireless.. Does anybody know if apple have come up with a solution...or are they just not dealing with the problem?

I am a brand new Mac user with a new 24 inch iMac purchase. Macs are supposed to be hassle free right? Right. No question I was about ready to throw it out the window because the wireless connection to the expensive AP base station was, oh, 100x slower than my Dell laptop side by side about 1 foot away. Nothing changed even if I connected directly to the AP using an ethernet cable. My connection consists of an Actiontec DSL gateway connected directly to my AP extreme that allows wireless to my PC laptop as well as my new iMac. Hours and hours go by until I find this help link on Mac Orchard Forums:

+WOW!! everyone else with this problem read this! i was having these same huge speed problems using the internet with my new 24" dual core intel imac with 2 gigs of ram and found a posting on another site's thread that fixed it completely.+
+"Try setting your DNS servers to OpenDNS (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220) and see if that helps at all. Maybe the ISP's changes increased the load on their DNS servers."+
+my guess is that somehow these DNS servers work the way tiger likes them to while others dont, i have no clue other than to say it works!!+
+heres a site i found that helped me understand how to change the settings:+

With the new Leopard installed I went to the "portforward" link first and followed the instructions exactly to set a static IP address, then I reset my DNS servers with the exact numbers you see above - IT WORKED IMMEDIATELY!!!!! I didn't have to call my ISP or anything, it just worked exactly as it should with both Safari and Firefox. Now this Mac is flying and I will not be tossing it back to Jobs.
Good Luck!

Anyway to speed up the response time of E62/E61?

I bought the E62 and found it is considerably slower than most smart phones specially when compared with Blackberry andsets. It really takes a while to open the mails or applications/folders.
Is there any way we can improve the response time for E62?

You aren't by any chance calling a function in your repeating frame that in turn goes back and queries the database, are you? If so ... don't. We regularly do 500+ page PDF-file reports, and one thing we discovered early on was that repeatedly going back to the database while generating the report output (in our case, in calculations that were being done on each line of a report) slowed the output down by an order of magnitude. Instead, we now retrieve all the data needed for each report up front (via functions or views called in the initial SQL for the report), and just use Reports to format the output. MUUUUUUUCH faster -- 200 page reports that used to take 15 minutes to complete now complete in just seconds.
One way you can visually see if this is part of your problem is to watch the report execute in the Report Queue Manager application. If it spends all its time on the "Opening" stage then breezes through each page, this is not your problem. If instead it seems to take a long time generating each page, I'd suspect that this may be at least part of your delay.

Is it possible to speed up the network between a host and a guest-vm?

I need to copy some template PVM files about 1GB-4GB size from my hosts into a guest VM under Oracle VM. I did a scp -p <sourcefile> [email protected]:/ (Destination of the guest-vm IP).
The copying took about 2.0Mb/s. It took 8mins+ for a 1GB file. I checked on my adapter. There's eth0 and bond0. I am using adapter1: bridge and adapter2: host-adapter. I noticed the copy is using the host adapter "bond0" which is much slower. Is there anyway to speed up the copy?

Hi Budachst,
I just recalled. I downloaded some Oracle media installer. These are zip files. I would like to get them installed into a guest-vm. These installer are currently residing in the Host OS. I need to copy them into the guest-vm.
My current OVM Server sits on top of Virtualbox in laptopA. In Laptop B, I have Virtualbox running and installed OVM Manager. OVM Mgr is able to discover OVM server and managed to get a guest-vm created as well. Two HOST computers are connected via bridge.
OVM Server is currently configured with bond0 and eth0. Yes, bond0 should be fast. I am getting 3Mbps while copying from Host OS in laptop A to guest-vm.

Have lost upward scrolling on Apple mouse

All of a sudden, can continue to scroll down, left and right, but not up. Is this likely to be a mouse hardware problem or software? If hardware, how on earth do I get into the Apple mouse?? (I'm using the mouse that came with this iMac, and up to press, I have been delighted with it.)

this happens to me occasionally, its annoying. however ive always got it to work again by turning it over and rubbing it fairly vigourously on a sheet of paper in a circular motion.
im positive its just a hardware thing

My Apple TV 2 is slow when trying to move through different menu selections. It is like a slow computer trying to catch up to mouse clicks. It eventually remembers the buttons that were pushed on the remote, but it freezes and takes a minute to catch up.

I had something similar a couple of week ago, it would scroll then stop, scroll then stop.
At some point the porblem went away.
Try unpowering and restarting your AppleTV. Rsetart iTunes too.

HT3176 How can the slow motion playback speed be adjusted on Apple TV (pause and clicking right/left)?

I am looking to adjust the paused slow motion playback speed of Apple TV. On one of my Apple Tv's when paused I can click right or left to view tv in frame advance (or one second advance) on a different Apple TV there does not appear to be any advance even after multiple clicks. But, it will jump 10 seconds when paused and left or right is held down as it should.
Third gen. (A1427) Apple TV Software version on both 7.0.3

Unfortunately with that speed you are not going to have a good experience with HD streaming. I would make sure everything is set to stream SD. Go into the settings - iTunes Store and you can switch there for any purchases/rentals made through them.
If you use Netflix (or other streaming sites) go into your account(s) and see if you can switch to a lower quality stream. I know Netflix has that in place.

Apple bluetooth mouse slow, possibly even sluggish?

Ok, my bluetooth apple mouse has started to annoy me, it seems to be quite slow (i usually use a MS wirless mouse, but decided to try out the apple one again) basically its just quite slow and very hard to move it just a small distance.
To fix it I have:
cleaned the optical sensor
changed batteries
moved it to fastest tracking speed
re-set it
used it on different surfaces
updated bluetooth firmware
basically everything I can think of but no joy, it still seems slow, is there anything I can do or is it likely to need to be replaced?
Also my microsoft one is on full speed, and its just about right although i would like it a bit faster, is there anything I can do?
also what does the small + and - switch do its the one under the battery cover
Cheers for the help guys

I am experiencing the same issue. I have done a good bit of troubleshooting to narrow down the problem, and i wanted to share those results with this thread in hopes that we can come to a conclusion and hopefully fix it.
First off, this issue seems to be isolated to bluetooth wireless devices and wireless network traffic. I have a Logitech G7 bluetooth wireless mouse, and my Macbook is the 5.1 version
I have seen other threads that are trying to blame their mouse lag on their monitor, and have said that plugging the monitor's power to a different wall jack fixed their problem. This made no difference in my situation. Even having my External monitor completely out of the loop, i still experienced issues with bluetooth mouse + traffic over the wireless causing significant hitching and lagging of the mouse during the period of the traffic (i.e. copying 500mb file over network).
When i have my bluetooth mouse hooked up and i am copying a large file over the wireless, it lags horribly. If i take my hand and use the trackpad on the laptop itself *during the same copy*, it works fine... it is ONLY the bluetooth mouse.
If i hook an ethernet cable directly to the laptop, all issues with lag are gone when i use the network.
So to recap:
ethernet cable + bluetooth mouse + network traffic = no mouse lag
wireless ethernet + trackpad + network traffic = no mouse lag
wireless ethernet + bluetooth mouse + network traffic = HORRIBLE MOUSE LAG
ON TOP OF THAT.... the issue is EXACTLY the same in Vista as it is in OSX
