Disable low on battery warning for Mighty Mouse?

How do I do this? This is VERY annoying. I've got more than 20% of battery life left, but OSX keeps telling me I need to change batteries! Also, the menu icon keeps placing itself into the menu! I keep on disabling the bluetooth menu item, but it always comes back!! help!

Depending on where the real issue is, in the system, other options may include
performing an "Archive & Install" then upgrade the system using the latest bits.
Since that gives you an option to move user and account settings over to an
all new System Folder, you would only have to find and reinstall anything not
otherwise up to date. Things to include the latest Flash & Shockwave, or any
parts not automatically put into place through the update to the last OS X step.
There are some details in this Archive and Install, plus update, which may be
tedious; while most should be straightforward. No telling if this would fix the
problem, but it should be able to resolve it.
When did this problem begin? Have you replaced the battery in the mouse
more than once since you bought it? (Is the mouse under warranty? To
hope the problem was only in the mouse itself may be optimistic.)
The non-hack answers may be best; since some hacks may later be a
source of a new problem when later system updates are applied. But
not always. Another thing to try, if the mouse battery issue is recently
developing and no direct cause is known, you could get the last OS X
Combo update and see if reapplying it over the current installation may
help; be sure to start up in SafeBoot, then run Disk Utility's 'repair disk
permissions' then quit Disk Utility, and restart normally to get out of the
SafeBoot mode.
Sometimes just going into a computer in Terminal or Single-user and
revalidate the correct and original settings and then exiting, rebooting
into the OS X GUI, may help correct an issue; while changing nothing
except the symptom. Hard to say if that's an answer in this case.
Hopefully someone with more tweaking experience or an issue similar
to your computer's symptoms will reply here and offer another insight.
Sometimes general system and preventative maintenance may help
resolve some odd issues in the system; to include utilities that can
run scripts for you to perform routines often overlooked. ie: OnyX.
Good luck & happy computing!

  • Low battery warning for my iMac keyboard

    I keep getting a low battery warning for my iMac keyboard even when it has brand new batteries. Is there a way to switch this off or reset it so that it doesn't keep informing me?

    Hello! I also have this problem. My keyboard is brand new and so also the batteries. I have tried with different types of batteries but get the same warning. I also have tried to erase the device in the bluetooth settings and add it again. Nothing works. It is a pity because I like mac.

  • Where is the support forum for Mighty Mouse?

    Hello,
    does Apple have a support forum for Mighty Mouse.
    my Mighty Mouse will not scroll down...
    all information will be appreciated,
    thank you..!

    does Apple have a support forum for Mighty Mouse.
    No there is not a specific forum for the Mighty Mouse, generally you would normally post in the peripherals/input section of the forum related to your Mac, so if you have an iMac post in the iMac section.

  • Ibook - low level battery warning

    hello:
    all of a sudden the low level battery warning indicator stopped working. i checked the system profile and it informed me that it's not on. how do i turn this back on, again.
    please help. this is more of an annoyance than anything.
    thanks.
    -angela

    My understanding is that it indicates the current status of the indicator. In other words, if your battery is charged and the iBook is running off of it, there is no low level warning.
    If, though, you run the battery down on a given cycle and you've received the low level battery warning-- then it will say Yes!
    At least that's what I've found out reading on these boards and on line. I just made the very same discovery you did about this and was curious.
    I was checking it out because, oddly, I'm not getting the low level battery warning any more-- and with, supposedly 30 minutes or so left, the iBook will suddenly shut OFF entirely--no warning-- and that means losing anything that's not been saved!
    Haven't figured out what's with that... my battery cycles are only 187 way below the number expected... the Full Charge Capacity (mAh), however, is only 1689mAh instead of the NEW 4400.
    Anyone have some suggestions? I reset PRAM which did not work, power cycled the battery, which did not work, and have recently reset the PMU. I haven't run it down again, so let's see if the PMU tip/trick works!

  • Low battery warning for  low signal?

    Every once and while I get the screen showing the battery at red and asking to plug the Iphone in. When I looked at the battery life it's still had more than 30%, but my signal was on like 1 bar, could this be a reason why the Iphone might show a low battery warning?

    I've seen this before, and believe it's a Bug:

  • Getting more battery life with Mighty Mouse

    Hi,
    is there a way to make the Mighty Mouse read accurately the level of energy left in its batteries?? I have over 20 AA batteries of any kind (rechargeable or not, lithium or not, 1.2v or 1.5v, 2300 mah or else, etc.) and they all read "good-70%" when I test them with a simple battery tester. Still, the Mighty Mouse reads them very low, if not dead. What to do with that??
    Thanks.

    How interesting. I've been relying on the computer reading as valid. I guess I'll have to get a battery tester myself and check it. You might bring the batteries into a nearby Apple Store and show the techs there what's happening. If you do that, post again with whatever you hear. If I can get the same results, I'll bring the mouse and the batteries into an Apple Store and let them figure it out.

  • Software for mighty mouse, airport extreme won't load?

    My old mouse won't work with mini. Mighty Mouse and Airport Extreme Software won't load (Macintosh HD 74.4 GB, 64.06 GB Free).
    Mighty mouse is connected, but wont let me do what I need.
    I want to use mini to surf net, manage ipod, email. I was assured at Apple store that I was buying a more powerful competer than my needs.
    How do I get this thing to work properly?
    TX

    When did you buy your Mini ? Has it got Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4) on it ? Most of the Mighty Mouse's functions will only work under Tiger ...
    What do you mean by "Mighty Mouse and Airport Extreme Software won't load" ? Your post is very unclear and we need more information in order to help you. Does it give an error message ?
    You might try to open Disk Utility (located under Applications > Utilities) and repair your hard drive's permissions (simply highlight Macintosh HD, and then click on "Repair Disk Permissions"), and then try to install the software.
    I don't think you need to install anything to use AirPort Extreme, the software is preloaded, but since not all Minis come with AirPort as standard, the "backup" disk comes separately from the main Install Disc. Or is it software for the AirPort Extreme Base Station ?
    Another question : is it your first experience with OS X / the Mac platform ?

  • Removing pairing for Mighty Mouse on non-existant computer

    Hello people,
    I have a Might Mouse and today my Macbook Pro crashed and it looks like the logic board is dead and I might have to get a new computer etc. My Mighty Mouse was paired to it but as I can no longer access the broken Mac I can't unpair the mouse. Is there a way to 'force' unpair a Might Mouse?
    Thanks,
    Hamish

    Barry, I know the subject can be confusing but I have an Apple wireless keyboard and Magic mouse sitting here paired to 2 Macs. I don't know about other bluetooth devices but the keyboard and mouse don't care. Pairing just tells the Mac to ignore other M/K uids and accept the input from the paired M/K.
    Captfred
    Also the advice you gave him:
    Go to system preferences>bluetooth. Turn the mouse off, highlight the device, delete it, and then restart. Turn the mouse on. The BT setup assistant should open and try to locate the device.
    He stated that he now longer has access to that computer.

  • How to disable the annoying security warning for all users in Windows Server 2008 R2

    Hi,
    The employees from the administration complain all the time about the different types of security warning that they get when trying to run some applications which are used frequently.
    Since the number of the users is too big it is unfeasible to go through all the users and disable the User Access Control at their account settings.
    Is it possible to achieve this through given account policy settings. I want to perform the changes on the server so it applies to *all* (or maybe those of Administration department) users.
    One useful information here can be the following: we use 2 different severs, the application which cause the errors are in the terminal server, and the users are in the main server. Where should I perform the changes?
    Best,
    D

    Hiya,
    It could sound like that one indeed. There are a few options to go for, however it should be fairly easy to find out :)
    Create a test GPO and apply to a limited amount of users. GPUpdate and verify that the GPO has been applied using rsop.msc
    Then open the application to test and see if it has the desired effect. You might need to change more than one setting, depending on the application and desired behavior.

  • How do you disable low phone space warning?

    I have a Nokia 520.  I currently have 3/4 of a GB left.  Plenty of room for what I use the phone for.  At least once a day I get this warning about low phone space and it wants me to use the SD card.  The SD card actually has almost no available space on it. 
    All I want is for the phone to stop sending me a warning about the low phone space.  I haven't found a way to diable it and it is becoming a huge annoyance for me.  Is there a way to turn it off or is the phone designed to be a permanently be an annoyance? 

    if unchecking the "all other notifications" doesn't do it for you in (Settings/ringtones+sounds) it may be reminders.
    but if you uncheck reminders, you may not be able to get any other "reminders" like calendar and alarms, etc.
    last option is going to be to open up some memory and delete some of that 32GB of data you are storing.

  • Apple script for mighty mouse

    I'm not sure where I should post this but I guess I'll start here. Does anyone know or know how to write a script so I can make the side button of the mouse go back a page while using Safari?

    the following will do it (you'll have to save it as an application):
    <pre style="
    font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 10px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 5px;
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    width: 720px;
    color: #000000;
    background-color: #ADD8E6;
    overflow: auto;"
    title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
    tell application "Safari"
    activate
    do JavaScript "history.back()" in document 1
    end tell</pre>
    However, that will really reduce the efficiency of the side button as it will only do it in safari. you might want to reconsider doing this. alternatively, take a look at [USB overdrive|http://www.usboverdrive.com/USBOverdrive/News.html] which will give you a lot more functionality without restricting the use of a button to a single application.

  • How far is the range for wireless mighty mouse?

    I've checked the specs, I've read the reviews. Haven't been able to find the range for mighty mouse.
    I would like wireless mouse/keyboard use about 12 feet away from my Powerbook (using a flat panel tv from the sofa). The keyboard specs say 33 feet, but not sure about the mouse... Any guidance/suggestions?

    I found a review that said it was about 30 feet

  • Script for Button 3 or using side buttons on Mighty Mouse for Button 3

    Looks like the preferences for Mighty Mouse only allow the side "squeeze" buttons to be used for Button 4. I don't want to use the scroll ball for Button 3 because it keeps zooming when i do. Does anyone know how to write a script to configure the side buttons to be Button 3?

    I think I'm having a similar problem. Lately, my side buttons have been activating seemingly on their own. I hear multiple clicking sounds. I know I can turn off the button, but I use USB Overdrive to activate page back in browsers and the Finder, so I can be surfing and be brought back several pages at once. Very irritating. It doesn't seem to be consistent either. I bought my latest iMac in June, so I the warranty should be in place, but I'm an hour and half from the nearest Apple store, making it somewhat inconvenient to have the mouse looked at.
    Heh, right when I was about to post this message, it went back several pages.

  • Does anyone here have a defective mighty mouse?

    I got one, and called apple couple of times not only for the issue, but also for the investigation, they ask me create a new acct, restore the whole system.... finally they replaced it for me... but after couple of days using, just found this one is also not good.... dont know if they give a new one? or just the mighty mouse born w/ bugs....
    ok... here is my problem..
    i really think to put two grey buttons on the two sides of the mouse is innovative and handy, but the problem is those two buttons just "too smart"... whenever I move the mouse, it's "Expose - all windows"... really annonying... right now I have to disable the functions for those 2 buttons.. I do have applecare, but just dont know if I can call apple to replace this one again? or maybe after the replacement, the same problem? Anyone met the same problem? Is this a general defect for mighty mouse? sigh...

    I'm left-handed. Would you please pubish a photo to show how you use the mouse? I wanna know if I hold the mouse in a wrong way...
    I'm right handed, Miky, but as the mouse is symetrical, I guess the idea is pretty similar.

  • Mighty Mouse Can't Scroll Down?

    I am having trouble with the Wireless Bluetooth Mighty Mouse. For some odd reason the Scroll Ball will no longer scroll Down? Has anyone else had any of these problems? Does anyone know how to fix them? If so please let me know.

    Hmm well I have seen the first article...
    I just now tried the second article I cleaned it and everything but I am still unable to scroll down...
    I do not have Vertical Scrolling Disabled.
    Like I said this mouse is a Hand-Me-Down from my Dad and he has gone through about 5 of them because of this problem. ALTHOUGH His doesn't clean his Apple products that much (it gets on my nerves) BUT I tried Cleaning it and I am still unable to scroll down wards...
    The retail price for Mighty Mouses are?
    $50.00 or $60.00 for the BlueTooth?
    and $30.00 for the Wire Mighty Mouses?
    I am thinking maybe I should purchase anther one and have it be MY Mighty Mouse and clean it regularly.
    I am using the Mighty Mouse now and it works fine except I can scroll down but I would hate to but another because this one works very well.
    I am wondering if Apple could "clean" it if I dropped it off at my local Apple store? Although I could just buy another if I did that?
    But if anyone has any other ideas or any other help they could give me that would be great.
