Bluetooth Mighty Mouse - right click works for a while and then stops...

I recently bought a wireless Mighty Mouse, installed all the supplied software and paired it with my Macbook Pro. I've set up the right click as Secondary button and have been using it without any problems.
Then recently I've noticed that after using it for a while (in general applications like Aperture, Firefox etc), the right click will perform a Primary (left) click instead. Even if I take my hand completely off the mouse and click on the right side, it will perform a left click function. If I switch the Mighty Mouse off and back on, it starts to work normally again.
Is this a general issue with these mice? Or is mine just faulty? I can't see that it's a hardware fault as it returns to normal when I turn off/on the mouse. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

My new MacBook Pro and Wireless MM just arrived Friday and I spent Saturday transferring files from my PB G4 and installing Parallels/WinXP.
My Mighty Mouse worked fine initially, but then the Right Click (Secondary) reverted to Left Click (Primary). I reversed the settings to a "Left-handed" setup, the settings stuck. But the right button would not hold a Secondary setting.
I then paired the PB G4's Wireless Mighty Mouse (that I've had for several months) with the MacBook Pro - same issue surfaced. Both mice work consistently as represented with the PowerBook AND my IOGear bluetooth mouse works perfectly with both the PB and MBP (although the Mouse Preference Pane that comes up for the IOGear mouse is a reduced feature set that does not allow any additional button programning.)
I think it's a Preference Pane code issue. If the others who have posted here have ALSO installed Parallels, then the Parallels tools may be creating conflicts.
MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.33 and just about everyting that came before it   Mac OS X (10.4)

    I have been unsuccessfully trying to extend the wifi of my Time 2T Capsule with an Airport Extreme 2nd Gen. It works for a while and then loses configuration. I have done everything possible, disconnected it, reset it but it keeps failing, what to do?

    What model and firmware is the 2TB TC?
    What firmware is the AE?
    Does the AE get good signal from the TC in its current location?
    Signal can only be extended that is received intact.
    Is it extending on 5ghz? As I remember it a Gen2 AE is only single band, although you can choose either 2.4ghz or 5ghz.
    I am fairly sure you are going to tell me your TC is AC model..
    I would do a couple of things..
    1. Fix the wireless name, make it short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    2. Fix the wireless channel for 2.4ghz so it is not going to jump around.
    3. Get real results from the AE in its current location for signal strength.. this is really only possible on v5 utility. And that is a double pain with Mavericks because you cannot use it.
    Apple have removed all the useful diagnostics from the airport utility. There is next to nothing left. So you need to use the computer and its diagnostics to find signal levels in the location.

  • Multicast works for a day and then stops

    I'm running multicast in unicast mode on our WLC because I can't enable PIM on wired side yet for a couple reasons.  It works consistently on 3 out of 6 WLAN's.  And the weird thing is the other 3 WLAN's will work for a day, and when I come in the next day, multicast traffic has stopped flowing.  I have verified this through IGMP snooping, using a bonjour browser, testing airplay, and using packet capture on a wireless NIC.  2 of the WLAN's are configured almost identically, but one works consistently day after day, and the other only works for a day after resetting the wlan.  I have been coming in the morning and changing a single setting back and forth just to reset the WLAN so it will work for the rest of the day.  I'm just writing this to see if someone can think of why it would work fine for the shole day and then stop working by the next morning.  It's not an IGMP timeout setting, because it works for much longer than the timeout and behaves the same way even without IGMP snooping on.  It started doing this after upgrading to 7.0.240.0.  We have very little amount of multicast traffic on wireless, and low channel utilization.  It does the same exact thing whether 802.11a or 802.11g so I don't think it has to do with data rates.  When I have IGMP snooping on, and on the WLAN's where it's not working, the controller will see the multicast group join message from the client, but the client doesn't see the IGMP query from the controller.  It shouldn't be wired config related since it's unicast mode.  I've tried with and without broadcasting enabled.  Any ideas?

    Okay, so I discovered two things, but I still don't know what caused this problem.  When I was running 7.0.230.0 I had increased my EAP-Broadcast key interval to 86400 due to a bug.  This seems to be related to the fact that on the wlan's where multicast was not working, it stopped by the next day.  When I backed this interval down to 3600 the multicast stopped working after an hour instead of a day.  So that's why I believe it was somewhat related to the broadcast key, since that key is used for multicast. 
    What I realized is that multicast was working on all the wlan's on all AP's that had been rebooted since the controller upgrade (They had been rebooted due to a switch losing power).  This is weird because all the AP's were rebooted when they received their own 7.0.240.0 software upgrade, so I don't know why they would have needed to be rebooted again.  Anyway, I rebooted a few more AP's and multicast works properly on all wlan's on those.  I'm just replying to my own thread here in case someone has a similar problem after upgrading your controller - try rebooting all your access points again.  Or maybe reboot after changing EAP-Broadcast Key interval.

  • Airport Express that works for I while and then quits

    I have an airport express that I connect with an Ethernet wire to my wifi network base station to be able to extend the wifi to other areas of the house. It used to work perfectly and I had the green light on it for days and days on, in fact it never quit it could be on for weeks.
    Now it works for a  while, an hour or so, and then the light goes out completely (no orange light, just no light) and there is no longer any wifi communication. Is the Airport broken or could it have something to do with the originating wifi provider base station which is in fact hardwired to the the Express?

    Now it works for a  while, an hour or so, and then the light goes out completely (no orange light, just no light) and there is no longer any wifi communication.
    Unfortunately, this is a sign that you are likely going to need to replace this Express.
    Here is what I think is happening based on experience with these devices:
    The internal components on the Express heat up significantly and after an hour or so, the heat build up is causing a weak electronic component to change in value, or heat expansion is causing a loss of an electrical connection at a tiny solder joint.
    When the device cools down, it will work again for awhile, but the same pattern will likely repeat. Internal repairs on the Express are not really feasible since the labor costs will likely exceed the cost of a new Express.
    If you are really handy with small electronic repairs and you have the time, you could carefully saw the case open along the center seam to open up the Express and take a look at connections and solder points. It 's unlikely that you will find something obvious, but might be worth a shot.

  • Exchange Admin Center 2013 SP1 worked for a day and then stopped working, possible OAB problems

    Here is a problem that has me confused. On a fresh Windows Server 2012 R2, I installed Exchange 2013 SP1. It was successful and for the first day everything was working well. I then installed all security updates. The next day, I could no longer log in to
    the Outlook Web App or Exchange Admin Center. I get the generic "something went wrong" message, and the only details are X-FEServer: LAKEVIEW-SERVER (our server name). Nothing else. In the event viewer, I have the logs below every time I try to log
    in. This is repeatable. Every time I attempt to log in the same 3 things appear in the Application Log.

    My first guess is to reset the Outlook Address Book by using the Remove-OabVirtualDirectory Exchange commandlet. But I am not so sure this will work because Exchange worked for a day. Any help understanding what caused the problem (and thus help avoid it
    happening again) and how to fix it are appreciated. Thanks.

    hi,
    If nothing works try resetting the Virtual Directories.
    For  owa 
    Open Exchange Management Shell (EMS), and then run the following cmdlet to change the authentication method of the "owa" virtual directory to Windows authentication:
    set-Owavirtualdirectory -identity "MBX\owa (Exchange Back End)" -WindowsAuthentication $True -Basicauthentication $false
    -Formsauthentication $false
    Run the following command on both the Client Access and Mailbox servers to restart Internet Information Services (IIS):
    iisreset /noforce
    For  ECP
    Start Windows PowerShell.
    Type the following commands, and then press Enter after each line:
    Add-PSSnapin *exchange*
    Set-EcpVirtualDirectory -Identity "MBX\ecp (Exchange Back End)" -WindowsAuthentication $true -FormsAuthentication $false
    Run the following command on both the Client Access and Mailbox servers to restart Internet Information Services (IIS):
    iisreset /noforce
    For Ref: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123752(v=exchg.150).aspx
    I did those commands. But remember, the original error I gave was related to the OAB virtual directory, not ECP or OWA. I also did the Remove-EcpVirtualDirectory, Remove-OabVirtualDirectory, and Remove-OwaVirtualDirectory commandlets and the corresponding
    EcpVirtualDirectoryOabOwaVirtualDirecoty ones. I still cannot log in to the Exchange Admin Center. And I still have the same original generic unhelpful error message.
    However, there are some changes. After I removed and re-added the virtual directories I no longer received the original error logs given above. I now get this log in the event viewer:
    Event 2001, MSExchange Front End HTTP Proxy
    [Owa] Failed to load SSL certificate.
    The first logs I gave above always appeared after attempting to log in. This log that I gave appears infrequently and is not connected to any log in events. This log occurs only
    after a similar log given below:
    Event 1001, MSExchange Front End HTTP Proxy
    [Owa] Application Starting.

    So yes like mentioned above...i am a new mac user...have only had it about four days and have had a windows based system always before this.  The issue I am having is that I will be in safari and it will work perfect for a while and then i will open a new tab and attempt another website and it will either be extremely slow or will give the error that it cannot connect to the server, however, when i run diagnostics my internet is fine.  The only solution i have found is to reboot and geeksquad has been unable to replicate the problem while connected to my computer to try to do so.  Does anyone have any suggestions or anyone else with this problem?  If you have a "fix" please try layman's terms because again I have no idea about macs haha.  Thanks,

    im using an iphone 4s with the latest firmware which is 6.1.3 but my wifi button keeps going grey how can i fix it? i rested network connections and it worked for a while and went grey again,what can i do?

    Have you worked through the Troubleshooting iOS and WiFi knowledge base article?  If not, see if there is info in there that might help.
    Is the WiFi greyed out on all WiFi networks or just the one?  If it does this on all then there may be a hardwaer problem that needs attention from the techs at an Apple store genius bar.
    Before that, however, try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appears.  That clears a lot of iOS hang ups that occur.
