Can't I use my wireless mouse and trackpad in different ways when scrolling?

Since I'm a Chinese user, I prefer describing my question in my mother language...I will translate it...
在系统偏好设置里,倒是可以分别设置鼠标和触控板,但是当我打开触控板的“自然滚动”,同时取消鼠标的“滚动或导航时,使内容按手指方向移动”,之后,鼠标恢复原来的滚动 方式,郁闷的使触控板的滚动方式也跟着变化了⋯⋯
但这时打开触控板的设置,“自然滚动”依然是选中的啊⋯⋯
如果这时关闭“自然滚动”,再重新开启,鼠标设置界面的“滚动或导航时,使内容按手指方向移动”虽然是为选中的,但使用时滚动方向又变成反向了⋯⋯
各位有遇到么⋯⋯我觉得是个BUG吧,期待修复⋯⋯
我的鼠标是雷柏的6900,蓝牙无线

Well, there is two setting items in system preference for "mouse" and "trackpad", and there do have the checkbox for "Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling or navigating" and for "Scroll direction: natural". I checked the "Natural Scroll"---- if I may call it this way ---- option and unchecked the same option in mouse setting wishing to use my mouse and trackpad in different ways...
However, it turned out to be a confusing phenomenon like I can only use my mouse and trackpad in the way "Natural Scroll" or the way it used to be. If I double click the checkbox of "Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling or navigating" to refresh my settings, both my mouse and trackpad will turn into the way it used to be in scrolling while if I double click on the "Natural Scroll" checkbox, both of them will turn into the new way.
At the same time, eventhrough the setting of my mouse has been changed by the changing of trackpad setting, the checkbox in "mouse" is still unchecked and that's where makes it seems like a BUG....
So, is there anybody who meets the same problem? The reason I want to use this two device in different ways is I just don't like to use mouse in the new way, it's unconfortable for me.
And, I use a new MacBook Air 11' and a wireless mouse called Rapoo 6900
Here comes the link of my wireless mouse.

jhawk,
I can see the appeal of your desired setup, but is the limitation the inability to "Pair" the mouse/keyboard to more than one computer at a time? (Practically, that makes sense, you don't want to be blindly moving both cursors around at the same time, since you can only see one screen at a time)
You CAN operate bluetooth devices on Windows without pairing-you just need to locate the device each time before using:

So maybe you can pair the Mac version, and just search out the device each time you switch over? (but then you would have to "unpair" it off the Mac too) Maybe you need to write two scripts for each platform: pair/unpair devices.
Sounds like it would be easier to buy two wireless keyboards and mice :P
What you really want is a utility like this:

(its only Mac to Mac though, unfortunately)
Good luck!

    My pointer keeps turning into a colorful spinning pinwheel. Mac OS X(10.5.8) using a wireless mouse and keyboard ,desktop computer.

    The spinning wait cursor (or "beachball") generally means there's some problem that's causing the current app to freeze, or slowing down the current application, or that's slowing down the whole system. 
    Here's an overview of the spinning wait cursor.
    Make a backup first, using the Disk Utility tool booted from your installation DVD to external storage.  This backup to ensure you still have access to your most current and complete data, shut this be a problem with your hardware.
    Then use Utilities > Activity Monitor.app and the Utilities > Console.app tools to see what's going on, and whether there are related errors being logged. 
    There are some general troubleshooting articles around, too.

  • Can I use one wireless mouse and keyboard for a MB and a pc?

    Hi,
    I am planning to buy a lcd display which basically has both dvi and vga ports. So, I thought I will plug my pc into the vga and my MB into the DVI and use the same display for both machines. I just need to switch between the source through the display menu in order to switch. Now the problem is I can't seem to fiigure out how to use a single wireless KB and a mouse to run in both systems.
    Anyone has any idea?

  • Wired mouse, wireless mouse and trackpad -- none can click

    My MacBook ignores clicks from both the trackpad and any mouse (wired or wireless) attached to it.
    The keypad works fine and mouse clicks executed on the laptop from a remote computer work appropriately.
    The problem is intermittent and does not appear to be related to any installs, since there haven't been any in weeks and the problem is only days old.
    Any ideas?

    In case it's nighttime in roam-land, I'll comment. Bluetooth was never standard on the eMac. It was optional on the 1.25 and 1.42G emacs (the "USB 2.0" models) and not at all available on the older USB 1.1 eMacs.
    The probelm is I don't recall seeing the eMac's optional Bluetooth module offered as an after-market part. You'll have to do some Googling.
    If System Profiler (in Applications > Utilities) says your eMac's machine model is "PowerMac6,4" you have the slot for a BT module. If your have "PowerMac4,4" you'll have to look for a third=party system (check the big keyboard makers like Logitech) and make sure their wireless KB/mouse adaptors works on a USB 1.1 port.
    Basically, Bluetooth is a very short-range wireless protocol--perfect for mice and keyboards that sit very close to the computer.

  • Wireless mouse and Keyboard Issue after closing the lid - external display

    Can anyone give any insight. Recent purchase of a new Late 2008 15" MBP. I have connected it to an external 24" Apple monitor on my desk and use a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard on my desk top. I have configured the laptop to wake on bluetooth devices. So here is the problem: The laptop when the lid is up recognizes the bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I close the lid/screen. Laptop powers down... the after several seconds I move the mouse and the laptop comes alive... But after that there are no bluetooth devices attached. When I use the mouse, I get "connection lost" with a white figure of the mighty mouse on the screen. The wireless keyboard is not there and I have to open the lid and manually find the mouse and reconnect. The keyboard seems to work however....
    Apple..... any thoughts..... anyone?????

    Hi Stentdoc; I'm thinking, 'connection lost ~= sorta low AA batteries in the Mighty Mouse? (I would put in fresh AA batteries in the mouse and keyboard, to eliminate as an issue that the 'connection lost' is due to low batt voltage; that this is causing the failure to wake.) ... then, in System Preferences > Hardware > Energy Saver, settings for Power Adapter > Sleep, set to "never" for "Put the computer to sleep when it is inactive for ..." to eliminate that as a conflict when trying to wake with bluetooth from sleep induced by closing the lid ...
    Check your current "Sleep" setup (I left my MBP as "3")
    go to Utilities > Terminal
    After you launch Terminal, the first step is to determine which sleep mode your Mac is currently using. You can both view and change the sleep mode using the Unix program pmset. To see your current settings, type (or, copy and paste)
    pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
    press 'enter'
    You should see something like this:
    $ pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
    hibernatemode 3
    So your machine is using mode 3 ... thanks to the documentation for the handy Deep Sleep Dashboard widget, which puts your machine immediately into hibernation mode (so you don’t have to yank all the power sources to invoke it):
    * 0 - Old style sleep mode, with RAM powered on while sleeping, safe sleep disabled, and super-fast wake.
    * 1 - Hibernation mode, with RAM contents written to disk, system totally shut down while “sleeping,” and slower wake up, due to reading the contents of RAM off the hard drive.
    * 3 - The default mode on machines introduced since about fall 2005. RAM is powered on while sleeping, but RAM contents are also written to disk before sleeping. In the event of total power loss, the system enters hibernation mode automatically.
    also, I enabled this (to change back, input "lidwake 1":
    go to Utilities > Terminal
    type in sudo pmset lidwake 0 then "enter"
    it will ask for your password. type it in, that's it!
    Now, when your computer is sleeping with the lid closed, when you open the lid nothing happens until you press any key ... nice: keeps it off when accidentally opened, like in a backpack?
    WARNING: Improper use of the sudo command could lead to data loss
    or the deletion of important system files. Please double-check your
    typing when using sudo. Type "man sudo" for more information.

  • I have Mac Pro 2007, which have no bluetooth hardware. What should I do to use Apple wireless keyboard and magic mouse??? Can 'third party's internal bluetooth card' be used for this purpose? Help please...

    I have Mac Pro 2007, which have no bluetooth hardware. What should I do to use Apple wireless keyboard and magic mouse??? Can 'third party's internal bluetooth card' be used for this purpose? Help me please...

    You can find the Apple Bluetooth card on eBay for as little ten dollars (says its for the 2008 model Mac Pro, not sure about the 2007).
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bluetooth-Board-iMac-and-Mac-Pro-922-8233-922-8233-/1208 49278570
    Here is a link to a full explanation of the card and how to install it. Part numbers may differ a bit as that is an old article and newer models have come out.
    http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/Mac_Pro/Bluetooth_MacPro_install/Bluetooth_Ma cPro_install.html
    Just make sure that the part will work in your model Mac Pro. To that end, you may be better off avoiding eBay and going to a parts reseller. There are even third party cards that use the internal Apple bluetooth slot.
    http://fastmac.com/bluetooth.php
    In theory, using a USB or PCI card will work at login so long as it is recognized by Apples drivers. You say you need to launch an application to use your current USB Bluetooth dongle? If it is not controlled by the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar then it must be using a third party driver of some sort. Unfortunately, I don't know off hand which USB and PCI cards are supported.

  • Can I use my wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse with my 15 inch MacBook Pro retina display

    Can I use my Magic Mouse and wireless keyboard with my MacBook Pro retina display

    It has bluetooth.  Why not?  Please do so.  (assuming both are functional)
    Ciao.

  • Why do I sometimes suddenly lose Bluetooth from my Imac? I use it for my wireless mouse and keyboard. I then can't find it in system preferences but have to shutdown my Mac and hope it comes back

    This is an infuriating problem and wondered if it happens to other people too and if I am doing the right thing by turning the Mac off then on again.

  • Macbook Pro Retina (15") can't connect to wireless mouse and external USB keyboard

    Hi All,
    I got my new MacBook Pro Retina (15 inch) about 3 weeks ago. It works fine. I got a 30" Dell screen that I am using via thunderbolt/usb adapter. Also, I am using a thunderbolt ethernet adapter. Both adapters work fine without any problems.
    I have an apple usb keyboard connected to the USB hub of the screen, as well as my iphone cable. It is a regular, full size apple keyboard. In addition to this, I have a logitech nano connected directly to the right usb port of the macbook pro.
    This setup was working well until a few days ago. I lost connectivity with my mouse. Initially, I thought the batteries are empty. After replacing them, I still had no connection (again, the usb receiver is *directly* connected to the macbook).
    I changed a few cables here and there and noticed that I can get either the keyboard to work or the mouse but not both at the same time. A reboot did not help.
    Did anybody encounter such a strange problem already? If so, what could I possibly do?
    Thank You,
    --Martin

    Hello nikkig00,
    It is certainly difficult to use the computer if your wireless keyboard and mouse do not connect.  I found a few resources I recommend for this issue.
    I recommend reviewing this article first:
    Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3048
    If the issue persists, I recommend reviewing the section titled "Top troubleshooting tips" in the article below.  Step 9 specifically stands out to me for the issue you described:
    9. Restart your computer
    Sometimes a simple restart of your Mac is all it takes to get things running smoothly again. You may also want to try resetting your computer's PRAM and NVRAM.

  • Wireless mouse and keyboard not recognized

    I know that I have had this issue before, but can't remember what the solution is (old age?) My iMac G5 PPC has a wireless mouse and keyboard (the old apple white one). The iMac came with these as an option but WITHOUT the bluetooth card inside. (I still don't know how this works, but it does). Anyway, the mouse and keyboard were not recognized when I tried to get on today. The batteries are good. If I go to system prefs (using an even older wired mouse) there is no bluetooth option (since no card is present). I don't know how to get the computer to try to recognize both. Any help is definitely appreciated.

    HI David,
    If the iMac didn't come with Bluetooth software/hardware, then are you using a USB Bluetooth dongle?
    And open System Profile (Applications/Utilities)
    Select Bluetooth on the left under Hardware. You may need to click the gray disclosure triangle so it faces down. What does it say on the right?
    If the Bluetooth icon is in your Status Menu Bar (top right in your screen). Click the icon and make sure Bluetooth is turned on. Then click: Open Bluetooth Preferences and try re-pairing the mouse and keyboard.

  • UN-pairing wireless mouse and keyboard ?

    I have a new(ish) 27" iMac, OS X 10.6.3 [ with two-tone display ...but that's another story ]
    I set it up with the wireless mouse and wireless keyboard that came with it.
    The instructions were pretty clear how to "pair" the mouse and keyboard.
    So I paired them both up and got started with my new iMac.
    But I really didn't like either one (to each his own).
    Tried my best but just never warmed up to them.
    So, I have just gotten me new, third party, wired mouse and wired keyboard.
    Question: am I supposed to formally UN-pair the mouse and keyboard?
    Seems like you ought to.
    Tell the iMac to quit looking for them?
    There's an on/off switch on the mouse.
    I can just turn it off.
    But do I UN-pair it first.
    Or anything?
    And...there's what the manual says is an on/off switch on the keyboard.
    But it seems to be an "on/on" switch.
    Maybe this is a "small deal".
    Or maybe it is a "no deal at all".
    But I find that some times it DOES make a difference whether you do something just the right way or not.
    So, just trying to find out.
    Thanks,
    James

    David,
    I have also invoked the wrath of someone that I was assisting with an issue who accused me "assuming" that they were a beginner and of talking down to them. It is often a thankless position.
    I was mainly poking fun at myself for being so basic in my understanding of some of this stuff.
    But I understand exactly what you're saying.
    Hard to know isn't it?
    I believe that if you highlight each device separately in the list, that you can then select the - symbol next to the cogwheel and delete the device altogether from your iMac.
    Well, I WAS highlighting each device separately, but all the "cogwheel" was giving me was the "disconnect" option.
    Then I wondered, hmmm... what's these little "+" and "-" symbols next to the cogwheel mean?
    BAM! yep, the minus sign removes them from the computer completely.
    ..which, if I'm not going to be using them again was what seemed TO ME the thing to do.
    Thanks for your help!
    James
    P.S. And I just now noticed, someone deemed my passing comment in my OP about my display to be politically incorrect. Didn't realize it would have been a big deal. Oh well, live and learn.
