Attaching a corded mouse to Mac

Can I attach a corded 2 button HP mouse with a scroll wheel to my G5 OSX V10.4 Mac (Tiger Operating System)? If so, how do I do it?

Hello Carol:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
Assuming the mouse is compatible with OS X 10.4 (the HP web site should tell you that) and you have the proper driver, simply plug it into a USP port. Apples are plug and play.
I use Apple mice, so I have no frame of reference for two button mice. However, I do know that many Mac users have two button mice attached to their systems.

  • What would cause my corded mouse to stop working?

    Mid 2010 Mac Pro running OSX 10.6.8.  Was checking e-mail this a.m. and suddenly lost all mouse connection.  Tried different USB ports, and different corded mouse as well as wireless mouse.  Any thoughts as to the cause?  FYI I checked the mouse on a PC at home and it works fine.  Thanks!

    At 4 years the PRAM battery starts dying, causing all sorts of peripherals to start to misbehave.

  • I need a new power cord for my Mac book Pro its the T type mag connector. I don't need a Tech just a new cord. How do I buy one. The closest Aplle store is 75 miles away and I do not drive.

  • OS 10.8 just installed. "Hot Corner" to put new iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5  to sleep mode doesn't work. Have tried cordless and corded mouse with same result. Momentary sleep, immediate wake. Any idea how to fix?

    Set "hot corner" to put iMac to sleep.  Doesn't work.  Selecting the corner will momentarily put to sleep, but immediately rewakes.  Have tried all four corners with same result.  Have tried with wireless mouse and with corded mouse with same result.  Any ideas as to how to fix?

    You've been so great, I want to thank you for all the help over a very frustrating day.  Last evening, I redownloaded and installed the fresh copy of Mountain Lion.  The problem remained.  After installing the new OS 10.8, any clicks on a web page (Firefox browser) didn't open the page, but instead made a copy of the page on the desktop. Felt it must be hardware  degrading, so I set up a case with Apple support for today.  Early in the diagnostics, I had swapped out for a corded mouse and the problem remained.   As a last try, I changed out my wireless mouse for a different wireless mouse. That seems to have done the trick. My Logitech mouse is incompatible with OS 10.8.
    Thank you again, so much!

  • Will AIR ac power cord work for Mac Book Pro?

    will AIR ac power cord work for Mac Book Pro? I've lost my MBP cord.

    No. It does not provide sufficient power for a MBP unless you have a 13" model that uses a 60 watt adaptor.

  • What adapter to buy to attach the power from my Mac Monitor to my Mac Pro

    I bought a Mac Monitor but I need to know what I need to attach the power to the Mac Pro.  I can attach the video and it has some USB connectors but I can not figure out how to plug it in to the power.

    Go to sounds in system pref and select outputs. When the hdmi cable is plug into the tv it will show as an option under output. Just select that option.

  • Optical Corded Mouse stopped working

    I have a Pavilion P6215UK PC. Optical Corded mouse was working perfectly until yesterday, now it is ceased to work. i have replaced it with 3 other known good ones,problem still exists. i have tried the following;
    1: System restore, i took the PC back 7 days to a known good state
    2: I have deleted the mouse from the device manger and Re-booted ( there is a yellow exclamation symbol on this )
    I have noticed when the PC is in its final booting up sage, the corded mouse is working. it suddenly stops and a message appears the driver cant be found. I reloaded the driver from a known good HP mouse and the problem still exists.
    I'm currently using a cordless optical mouse with no difficulties
    I would really appreciate any help 

    Try to go into safe mode by tapping the F8 and check if the mouse is working fine in safemode
    if its working then create new user account and check if its still not working then you have to reinstall the Windows.
    As the same mouse is working fine on the notebook then there is no issue with the mouse.

  • Whats a good mouse for mac other then a mighty mouse?

    cause i've been though afew mighty mouses and i'm kinda getting tired of them breaking no matter what I do I can't get it to scroll up or to scroll left.
    and i've tried cleaning it didn't work so just going to get another mouse for it.
    what is a good alternative mouse for mac.
    around 50-75$?
    thats the only problem i've had out of apple is the mice they sell aren't as good as everything else they sell.

    Hi, 
    Apple mice have always been awful; I only ever liked the +ADB Mouse II+.
    I'm very happy with my Microsoft Intellimouse Optical six years on. The five buttons work really well with Dashboard, Exposé (and Spaces) and worked just as well back in OS9. The cable is also a decent length. I've also got a wireless version (1000) in grey/white with just three buttons, although the transceiver is quite chunky.
    Here's a five button Bluetooth version (link) that I've got my eye on at the moment.
    cheers

  • My bluetooth is off on my mac so my wireless mouse does not work how do I turn it on --i have no corded mouse, my bluetooth is off on my mac so my wireless mouse does not work how do I turn it on --i have no corded mouse

    my bluetooth is off and I have a wireless mouse- i have turned mac off and disconnected all usb and then turn back on but wireless wont come on so how do I turn it back on (have no idea how it got turned off) without a wired mouse???

    Hello:
    According to Apple's documentation, you cannot turn Bluetooth off unless there is a USB device connected.
    Do you have a wired keyboard?  If so, you could try resetting the PRAM and SMC - although I do not think that would help.

  • I am having problems with my optical corded mouse that came with my iMac (it's about 2 years old) It stops working periodically, and I can't figure out how to fix it; doesn't look like I can open it to clean it, or anything like that.

    My corded optical mouse (model A 1152),which came with my desktop  iMac, stops working periodically.  The little tracball may work scrolling down a page, but not up, sometimes, and I have yet to figure out how to fix it, or why it happens at all.  Is there someone who has had that problem, and what did you do?

    Hello:
    Turn the mouse upside down and run it (vigorously) over a piece of paper.  Better yet, run it over a microfiber cloth.

  • Can I attach my HP monitor to Mac air with a DVI cable?

    Can I attach my HP monitor w1907 to Mac air with a DVI cable?

    You need to use a DVI to Mini DisplayPort adapter; for a 30-inch display, the adapter needs to be dual-link.

  • Razer Kayboard/Mouse and Mac Mini first Setup/Boot

    G'day Apple Support Communities,
    I'm purchasing a new MacMini in a few weeks. I'm wondering whether the new mac can detect/setup the mac compatible Razer kayboards and mouses upon first boot/setup. As I understand, a new mac will go through various steps, to select language and timezone. But when it needs to pair kayboards and mouses, will it detect the Razer gaming keyboards/mouses.
    Kayboard: Razer BlackWidow Ultimate
    http://au.razerzone.com/gaming-keyboards/mechanical/razer-blackwidow-ultimate/
    Mouse: Razer DeathAdder
    http://au.razerzone.com/razer-deathadder/
    Both peripherals claim to be Mac Compatible
    Ta, flakefrost

    hey!
    any mac can detect any usb mouse or keyboard, but depending on the company and the peripheral it's full functionality can be impaired or completely absent. for example the blackwidow ultimate keyboard has specific function keys for mac os x (mission control/expose) and a built-in macro automatization system which cannot be used without the driver for the keyboard. so the point is that you need the drivers :-)
    i have a razer blackwidow ultimate mac edition and a razer mamba 2012.
    the correct installation is as follows:
    1.) go to razerzone.com
    2.) move mouse over support
    3.) klick on drivers, software, manuals
    4.) find your product
    5.) download mac drivers
    6.) install drivers
    7.) plug in devices
    you have to restart after each individual driver installation and you should plug in the device after both drivers are installed, not before or during installation.
    last but not least the mac drivers are only compatible with mac os 10.5-10.6, mac os 10.7 lion is not compatible with the drivers. i found out the hard way through freezing of the computer and kernel panics. after a clean install of lion and the drivers, i had a kernel panic the second time i turned it on after the clean installation. @ Razer: where are the updates??!! :-(

  • Sluggish mouse on Mac Mini

    I have a Mac mini 2,7 Ghz i7 and a Mac bluetooth magic mouse and it is very sluggish, it sometimes swims around like it's not connected to my hand movements.
    I work fast, and I often have all my applications open (8Gb ram) - I used to work on a iMac 27" until recently - same workspace, same work surface, same environment, same work pattern -  but noo way did this mouse swim around like that.
    Anyone with the same experience?
    Could it be that the Mac mini simply isn't fast enough to handle it, or could it be a faulty motherboard??

    Reset your PRAM.
    Shut the Mac down completely.
    Holding the Cmd+Opt+P+R keys, press the power button.
    Listen for the "Startup chime" to sound three (3) times, and release the keys.
    It should work after that.

  • 2 button mouse for MAC

    I'm authoring a project on a PC but also need a MAC version.
    There are some functions that require a right mouse click. They
    work fine on the PC but can't get them to work on the MAC. I have
    emulateMultiButtonMouse = TRUE. I have a two button mouse on my
    MAC. Right clicking does not work and Control clicking does not
    work. Any ideas?

    Have you set;
    the emulateMultiButtonMouse = TRUE
    or;
    emulateMultiButtonMouse = TRUE
    If it isn't preceded by 'the' then it's just another
    variable. In MX2004 you could also use;
    _player.emulateMultiButtonMouse = TRUE

  • I cannot attach any documents using my mac. Why?

    Hi. I have had my Mac for about 2 months now, and about 2 weeks ago or so, it stopped allowing me to add attachments, in any program. I have tried yahoo email, secure emails with my bank, attaching documents in my online classroom, and nothing happens. I haven't changed anything, at least that I am aware of. Anyone have any ideas?

    Hey Deb!
    In my experience this issue is caused by a dodgy Internet Plugin.
    If you navigate to Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plug ins - This is where most plugins are likely to be found.
    Now, the easiest way to find the faulty one, is take them all out (just drag them to the desktop) and test in Safari again, if the issue is still happening, you can determine that it's not one of those plugins.
    If it DOESN'T happen, drag 1/2 of those plugins back into the folder and test again, if it happens now, one of the plugins that was just dragged back is causing the issue.
    Note: Make sure you QUIT Safari before you test each time.
    Hope this helps,
    Regards,
    Zet.
