Does it compatible with mac? does anyone ever buy this mouse? Is it worth to buy? I read review on apple bluetooth mouse and it seems that it's not worth a penny..or you can give alternative option..seriously i'm thinking to buy bluetooth mouth because macbook is short of usb port...
Any help is appreciate.

It doesn't say it's compatible with Mac at all.
This is the Bluetooth mouse I have: Logitech V470

Good bluetooth mouse for MacBook

I just got a MacBook Pro and I'm looking for a good bluetooth mouse. I use a Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX on my other computers and really like it, but it uses up one of the USB ports, which isn't the end of the world. But if there's a good blueetooth mouse out there I'd like to give it a try. I read some reviews on the Logitech V470 and it seems decent. It appears to go into power saving mode very quickly, which I think would be annoying. Any recommendations?

Perhaps I am missing something, but I can certainly recommend the Apple Magic Mouse. It works very neatly for me, and because it uses the same "stroking" gestures as on my trackpad, it's an easy transition between the two.
Looking at the Logitech mice to which you referred, the only advantage they may have is size - thought the MM is smaller than you think and very portable.

Does Apple make a silver bluetooth mouse for Macbook Pro and Air?

White looks out of place and really doesn't match.

no only white. provide your suggestion here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

No bluetooth mouse or keyboard on login on MacBook

Dear experts,
Over the weekend I made a fresh SL install (plus update to 10.6.1) onto a new harddisk on my white MacBook2,1. Imported my old users from the old 10.5.8 harddisk. So far things have been fine except for one:
At the login screen my bluetooth Mighty Mouse and Apple bluetooth keyboard do not work. I have to use the MacBook's built-in trackpad and keyboard. After login both bluetooth keyboard and mouse will work fine. Over time it is annoying as I normally work with an external HD display and the MacBook is positioned across the desk.
I have already tried enabling and disabling the "wake from sleep" and "open assistant if no bt mouse/keyboard is found at startup" options in the bleuthooth preferences. No assistant will come up. As stated above, once I log in the bluetooth devices will work after a few seconds.
Under Leopard 10.5.8 the bluetooth peripherals worked for login as well.
It seems like the bt driver is only loaded after login. Is this a "feature" in SL or can it be helped?
Your help and advice is appreciated.

Yes, I already tried re-pairing twice: Once using the bluetooth assistant and the second time the options provided in the mouse and keyboard preferences (configure bluetooth mouse). Neither did solve the problem. I should have written that in my initial post, sorry.
When I searched the discussions for my problem before posting I did see that some users have bt problems. But my devices work fine, they do not "disappear" in normal operation. They are only not reacting at the login screen.
Is maybe anybody else using a portable Mac together with bt mouse & kb? I was already thinking that if Snow Leopard detects the internal trackpad and keyboard it does not try to connect the bt ones (as you only need one strictly speaking). But then once I log in they work both and also in parallel (internal and bt) as they did in Leopard (sans Snow).

Macbook Pro won't pair with my existing Bluetooth Mouse.

I used a bluetooth mouse with my macbook pro and had no problems. Since the lastest Mountain Lion Updapte (10.8.2), the laptop finds the mouse but the pairing with the device doesn't work. I've changed the batteries and restarted the laptop several times. Any suggestions other than buying a new bluetooth mouse?

My apple bluetooth mouse is not being recognized by my macbook air - and it was yesterday!

My apple bluetooth mouse was working perfectly with my macbook air until I had to change the batteries. Now it is not discoverable and I really can't operate without a mouse. I tried another logitech usb mouse and that was not discoverable either. Please help!

Today, when I turned on my iMac, neither my bluetooth mouse or keyboard were recognized. I had to connect my old USB keyboard-mouse to type this message.
And yes, I restarted my iMac, didn't help.
Can someone help?
PS: Barry, "resetting SMC" doesn't help

If I use my bluetooth mouse with my MacBook Pro will it drain more battery?

Bluetooth mouse (Razer Orochi) paired with MacBook Pro with Retina Display. Will it drain my battery drastically?

Not drastically but wil use at the minimum around 30 mins of battery life.....Depending how much you're using your mouse....

MacBook Pro Bluetooth Mouse Issue - Possible Bug??

I recently purchased the new MacBook Pro and I have a weird issue with both the bluetooth Mighty Mouse and another Microsoft bluetooth mouse.
So first, I purchased the mighty mouse thinking it would work great with my new MacBook, however, after pairing it and turning up the scrolling to the highest setting it was still way to slow for movement across the screen requiring me to pick up the mouse and move it to get all the way across.
I had also installed Windows 7 on Parallels and was able to install my Microsoft Presenter Mouse 8000 on that with a dongle and it moved super fast just like I liked it. I had to use the dongle because for some reason Parallels didn't show the internal bluetooth. So I thought I would try using my Microsoft Presenter Mouse 8000 on the Mac side so I downloaded the Intellipoint 6.3 software that is made for mac and installed it on the machine then paired up my MS mouse. I then went in and set the settings to their highest settings for scrolling and once again I had the same issue as with the Mighty Mouse. Way too slow.
So then I took it to one of the Geek Squad guys at Best Buy in my area to see if he could figure it out and he was stumped as well. However, after playing with it a bit we discovered that if you went into the native keyboard/mouse settings in the system preferences folder and dragged the scrolling setting to it's lowest setting and then back to the highest setting the Microsoft Mouse would move super fast like it is supposed to. I got all excited, however, the problem is that as soon as you closed that dialog box it goes back to slow again. Weirdest thing ever.
So I have no idea what would cause that and would love some feedback from you all. I think it is a bug because in my opinion the Might Mouse should work better than anything else. Any thoughts anyone?

This problem can be caused because of the mouse pad. Try using a dark color one with no reflective glare. Sometimes the light bounces.

Best bluetooth laser mouses for macbook ??

Hi,
Could anyone suggest me couple of good bluetooth laser mouses for macbook ?
I wish to have these features
1).No transceiver
2).It should support back button
3).Battery Life Indicator (preferable)
4).Price under 50 $ ..:)
Anyone using "Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 " ??.. i read that mac users are having problem with using back button in this particular model .. is that true , if so, any workaround to overcome it ??
Thanks ,
Nelson

Hey Nelson, I happen to use a logitech bluetooth travel mouse. I think the model is a M-RCQ142. It needs no transmitter, or receiver to be hooked up to the laptop. You just turn it on, and boom, you're working. It was under 50$, around 35 i think. It has a back button, its white, and works great. The Mac salesman at CompUsa sold it to me when i bought my Mac, But i think you should be able to find it at Best Buy or online.

Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse problems with new macbook pro.

Got a Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse to use with my recent 2011 macbook pro running 10.6.7. There appear to be several problems with this combination.
1. If the mouse is not moved for a few seconds and I move it, the pointer does not respond immediately, and when it does, the pointer motion stutters and jerks across the screen for a few seconds before it starts moving smoothly. I don't see any spike in CPU usage when this happens.
2. When I shutdown/reboot or sometimes even put the macbook pro to sleep and wake it up, the machine fails to communicate with the mouse, nothing happens even if I reset/restart the mouse or click, scroll or move it around. The only fix is to go to the bluetooth settings and set it up as a new device.
I suspected a hardware problem on either the mouse or the mac, but (a) the mouse works perfectly fine on an older Sony Vaio laptop and (b) the apple wireless keyboard works pretty fine with none of these problems with my macbook. Would getting an apple magic mouse magically solve this problem?
Has anyone else faced this situation, and could it be fixed?

Any issues you are having with a "Logitech" product, should be dealt with their tech/customer support department.

New Macbook Pro does not see bluetooth mouse

I have just purchased a new Macbook Pro and wish to use the bluetooth mouse from my desktop Mac. However, the Macbook does not seem to see this device when I try to connect. Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Norm

Do you still have the instructions for your mouse? Most have a button somewhere that puts it in a discoverable state.

Bluetooth Mouse cannot be paired with win7 on Bootcamp, MacBook Air... Please Help

I had installed Windows7 by Bootcamp on MacAir (OS 10.7.5) several weeks ago. In order to use external mouse and save USB port, I bought a Bluetooth mouse from Logitech. It is successfully done pairing with MacOS and working well, and it is definitely pariing with other Windows 7 PC as well.
But... when I tried to make pairing under Windows 7 under Bootcamp of my MacAir, it failed.
I tried it by Control Panel -> add device. The device name was successfully searched and shown on screen, and I selected it and press "next" to make pairing.... but I couldn't see the successful message and didn't work. The screen was not changed from "connecting....." message and did not go further....
Please help me. Someone said that I should upgrade or change the Bluetooth driver of Bootcamp, but I cannot find out how I do that.

I found the solution in another posting. Bluetooth setup data brought over by migration assistant is incompatible with the new Bluetooth chipset in the latest Air. This fix worked for me:
Go to:
Macintosh HD->Library->Preferences
delete (the old migrated files)
com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.lockfile
stop Bluetooth and logout.
Login and restart Bluetooth.
You my need to delete any devices and re-pair.

URGEND: After cloned backup neither usb nor bluetooth mouse recognized

ahhhhhh, help needed....
after bootcamp kills my complete system disc during installing xp i've cloned my backup copy onto my ereased system disc. every things fine (besides some errors) but now my macpro don't recognize neither the usb nor the bluetooth mouse.
the keyboard works fine and i've tried every usb slot and a powered hub without no luck.
the bt mouse getting recognized by the bt assistant, connect and ready, BUT it's not working. the "tray" symbol shows it's connected.....
i've tried the following: pr reset, board reset, permission repaired, new directory by diskwarrior = nothing
behind the error window of chronosync is another one from parallels which says that the "connectusb.kext" extension wasn't correctly installed.
i've tried to copy the extensions from my macbook parallels but the error still occurs.
i'm not sure but i think there can't be any connection between the parallels extension error and my overall mouse dis function, or can it be???
plz help, cause i've got no possibility to archive and install the system cause i'm on an non authorized tiger 10.4.11 system on an early macpro
thx sooooooo much/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
cheers and sorry for double posting

Just watching various posts on forums to see what I should do next. I updated to 10.6 from DVD, then went to 10.6.5, and my keyboard and mouse would stop working, and then start working again when I unplugged and replugged the keyboard (I have the mouse plugged into the keyboard). I don't want to spend all day unplugging and plugging my keyboard. I just went back to core 10.6 from the DVD, all my main software seems to work, so unless I have problems, I'm just sticking with core 10.6 until things get resolved.
I might try updating to 10.6.2, or 10.6.4, but not until I'm forced into it (when something is really not working on unstable). I do mostly music and video work. The only reason I updated was because something new I want to run (Wavelab 7) only works with 10.6. I usually never update my OS unless I'm forced into it, I'm way not an OS early adopter, I have work to do! I was truly expecting 10.6.5 to be OK, they've had plenty of time to get the kinks worked out. I wasn't expecting Apple to introduce new ones. Sounds like I'm not bothering with 10.6.6 now. 10.6.7 anyone? Do I hear .8?
Way to go Apple.
