Does Mighty Mouse only work with desktop Macs??

I just bought an Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse, assuming it'd work with my new Leopard OS X Macbook. I followed the instructions on the Mighty Mouse booklet...but no installation start-up window ever appeared. I'm a beginner with Apple, so I figure I've done something wrong....does the Mighty Mouse only work with desktop Macs and not MacBooks?
Please help if you can.

Ah! sorry, my mistake! "wireless" was the key word. And yes, prior to my new mighty mouse, I also used the wireless one. And you need to do the following:
1) Turn bluetooth ON (either from finder icon (you can have it placed on your finder bar by tick box in sytem preferences/bluetooth.
2) Then, you need to "pair" your mouse via bluetooth setup assistant.
3) once "paired" off you go.

    iPod touch is Wi-Fi only, yes. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by games from home Mac, but you can purchase game apps in iTunes and sync them to your iPod.

  • Does T400 can only work with up to 4GB RAM?

    Does T400 can only work with up to 4GB RAM?
    Here (http://support.lenovo.com/en_NO/product-and-parts/detail.page?DocID=PD005598), it says 512 MB, 1 GB, 2GB, or 4GB memory.
    So if more than 4GB RAM, will it do harm to the hardware of T400? Or just only 4GB will be used, and no any harm?

    That doc was probably written when there were not 4GB DIMMs available, or at least being commonly used. T400 will work with any combination of 1GB, 2GB and 4GB DIMMs, up to 8GB total. I tried single 8GB DIMM and it didn't work

    But can it still stream video wirelessly?
    For example, with the Digital AV Adapter I can watch video on my TV, but obviously it's wired.

    Comcast came to fix my internet. My AIRPORTWIFI now only works with desktop. it doesn't work with my IPhone or IPad. Why? What can I do?

    Hello lila54,
    It sounds like your Wi-Fi network is working if your desktop works with it, we just need to get the Wi-Fi on your iPhone and iPad connected to it.  I found a couple of resources to help with not being able to connect to Wi-Fi on an iOS device.
    I recommend following the steps in this tutorial first (the steps should work on the iPhone and iPad):
    Join a network
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/wifi/
    If you are still having trouble connecting to Wi-Fi, follow the steps in this article (you can skip any steps you have already taken):

    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

  • Does ws adapter only work with asynchronous web service?

    Hi all,
    can you please confirm whether or not ws adapter (PI 7.1) only works with asynchronous web service?
    I have created an async. outbound service interface in PI 7.1, generated the client proxy in ECC, created an web service based on the proxy, wrote a test program to call the web service (PI scenario uses ws adapter in the sender CC). Everything works fine.
    Then I did the same thing with sync. outbound service interface. I got exception while calling the web service in ECC.
    I've heard that ws adapter is designed for async. communication. Does it mean that it won't work with sync. web service?
    I haven't seen any official SAP document saying taht ws adapter only works for async. web service. If you have any, can you please share it?
    Thanks
    Jayson

    Thank you all for your information.
    The error I got when calling the proxy with logical port (web service) is:
    SOAP:1,007 SRT: Unsupported xstream found: ("HTTP Code 404  : Not Found") 
    I will debug it to see what exactly happens. And will keep you guys updated.
    Just debugged, the error is because the http header's content type is text/html while it should be test/xml. However this type is set by the ws runtime, not by the application. Anybody has an idea about this?

  • Magic Mouse only works with Mobee Rechargeable

    I have had a Magic Mouse for years. I don't recall how long. A couple of years ago I bought the Mobee Magic Charger and have mostly been happy with it. However, lately I cannot get my Magic Mouse to work with anything BUT the Mobee rechargeable unit. Normal batteries won't turn it on.
    Anyone have ideas of what could be wrong?

    After the initial full charge of the battery pack I get nothing. The green light is steady. However, when I power on the magic mouse and try to pair it with my iMac, it never connects. Also, the green light on the mouse itself is no longer lighting up.
    Does it not blink when you flip the switch off then on?
    Some people have complained about not being able to re-pair after a battery change.  Smc and/or pram reset might help here but don't bother since you apparently have a bigger problem to solve.
    And if that weren't enough, the battery pack is stuck and I cannot remove it from the mouse. The mouse was working just perfectly when I was using the AA alkaline batteries. Am I missing something? Or is this a defect in the product?
    Defect in the battery pack perhaps.  I would call Mobee and ask them for their opinion.  Maybe the batteries were defective and swelled in the case (just guessing).

  • Automatic downloads only works with one Mac user account, can I get help?

    I have three user accounts on my iMac, and I set up iTunes Automatic downloading on my iTunes account on my iMac user account. Then I went to set up my brothers iTunes automatic download on his iMac user account but it said the computer was already in use, and gave me options like transfer or cancel. Just to clarify this was an attempt with one iMac two user accounts and two separate iTunes accounts.

    It appears we are all having the same issue, and for themost part talking about the same thing, but to reiterate:
    1) One (1) computer, to help distinguish the devices letscall it an iMac
    2) Two (2) or more distinct User ID’s on said iMac with fullAdmin permissions
    3) Each distinct User ID on the iMac has a distinct Apple IDwith an associated iTunes and iCloud account
    4) For every User ID / Apple ID there is a separate personwith their own iDevice
    5) None of the iTunes accounts, iDevices or Apple ID’s arecross sync’d
        5) (a) Forexample, Person 1 does not share apps, etc. with Person 2’s iTunes account. Weare assuming everyone distinct Apple ID / iDevice buys its own App’s, musicetc.
    6) Only one (1) of the iMac User ID’s and that User ID’sassociated iTunes and iCloud account can have auto-download and iCloud servicesactivated at any one time.
    6) (a) Just to be redundantly clear,that means that every other User ID / iTunes – iCloud ID/ iDevice CANNOTauto-download or sync to iCloud
    Somewhat reformed PC guy here (wife is a life long Macuser), but all I can say is are you (*&^%$%^&* kidding me?
    If I wanted these problems, and didn’t care about aestheticsor battery life, I would have stuck with Win-crap / Android for 50% or less ofthe cost.
    Besides my preference for the Win-Devil UI (I know, I know…)I cannot believe after spending more than $4,500 on iFleecing this summer I amstill having issues like this (Mac Air, iMac, iPhone 4- two and the buy-out oftwo cell contracts).
    Granted, when I plug something in, it works… the way Stevethinks I should want it to function.
    In the hopes of avoiding some iFlogging by my fellow usershere, I concede the superiority, in every conceivable way, of all of thehardware and even like the MS Office suite in Mac better (at least not less). Ihave no intention of going back to the Win-Devil (don’t even run an emulator oneither computer), but this is a Windows-like screw-up.

  • Cannot get bluetooth mighty mouse to work with win xp sp3 bootcamp ver 2.1

    I have tried the most popular solution of establishing the mouse as a device, highlighting it in the devices menu, then clicking properties, then services, and once it is done searching checking the box for the "drivers for keyboard, mice, etc [HID]and clicking apply. get the message with the header bluetooth error access denied. this happened recently when I updated bootcamp before mouse worked flawlessly for month on xp. If anybody has any solutions it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Forgot to mention mighty mouse works fine in the mac os partition
    Message was edited by: clown428

    Try this solution. First click on the bluetooth icon at the bottom of the windows screen. Then click show bluetooth devices, then click add new devices and when the new device shows up double click on the device. Then a windows shows up at the top of this window it says general and other. Chose other. Another window shows up and check the small box. This small box searches for windows drivers just for this bluetooth device. When done it should pair and work fine.

  • Why does magic mouse not work with duracel batteries

    I bought an iMac a few months ago.
    Now the batteries from the magic mouse are empty and I had to buy new ones.
    Only they don't work. I had to pick cheap batteries from others devices.
    Can anyone tell me which brand wil work?
    Thanks,
    Bernadette

    I bought my iMac 2 years ago, it came with a Magic Mouse, within several months I started having the same battery issues. I looked here, and on the Internet to find out if the problem was already known about, but found only people guessing wrongly at what the problem is. I do hope Apple has fixed this, but unfortunately many of got stuck with a junk Magic Mouse. As an Engineer with 25+ years of experience in the design of electrical contacts & connectors which includes over 2 dozen patents ... believe me when I say the problem here is that the recessed positive contacts (at the on/off switch end) are too deeply recessed to make contact with the industry allowed variation in AA batteries. Those contacts are too deeply recessed because the plastic is too thick (in the hole that forms the recess) and the metal contacts are not tightly up against the backside of that plastic wall, in fact it looks like they are installed with a gap and/or can deform/bend away further opening that gap even larger. As mentioned above many industry AA battery standards define the positive button contact height as being 1.0mm or larger ... however that plastic wall is about 1mm thick, add the gap for the metal contacts and you have no electrical contact no matter how much contact spring force there is at the negative end. Unfortunately, there is no simple good fix for the average person to perform, the recessed contacts can't be accessed to bend them to remove that gap and the pastic is too thick anyway .. leaving us with a "duct tape" fix, like wadding some tin foil into that positive terminal recess and swearing when it falls out during battery changes. A nice elegent fix, would involve disassembling the mouse, machining plastic, backing up those terminals... absurd right?... would be easier if Apple sent us a new mouse that works.
    This problem has nothing to do with overall battery length, battery diameter, or inadequate spring contact force from the negative mouse contacts. Also I doubt the brand or type of battery is the issue for anyone, the positive button heights vary among brands/types, but probably are 1.0mm or larger per the industry specs, Apple just didn't design this mouse to that industry spec, or they did not control their manufacturing quality to yield what they designed. This iMac was my FIRST Apple purchase after decades of avoiding and dismissing Apple, ironically they won me over with their progress and high quality products ... I'm rather disappointed.
