External Microsoft USB Mouse "slows" over clickable objects

I've just gotten around to plugging in a wireless USB mouse from Microsoft into my iBook. Everything is fine except that when I turn sensitivity to the highest setting (the way I like it and have it set on my touchpad), the cursor slows down over clickable objects.
Is there a way around this? The touchpad doesn't have this problem.
Thanks,
James

Thanks for the feedback and sharing the comments from Apple. That kind of information helps other users!
Some other things you can try.
Uninstall the LCC using the original installer.
Then do a manual search of the Library files and delete plist files showing Logitech or LCC in the file name. (Find and Spotlight do not search the libraries by default so you'll need to navigate to the User and System libraries manually before doing the search.)
I used to have a Logitech track ball and I did notice that the LCC software sometimes did odd things I didn't like. After uninstalling the LCC and the plist files, the trackball worked just fine with the default Apple drivers.
The one sure way to get rid of the LCC drivers is to do an Erase and Install of the OS - It is a lot of work....
Short of a full Erase and Install, after manually removing the LCC drivers and plists, you can download and run the 10.5.5 Combo updater which may (or may not) correct faulty driver issues.

Hope that helps.

  • Cursor slows down over clickable objects

    hello,
    how do i turn off the feature which causes the cursor to slow down over clickable objects? in system preferences i click on the mouse icon. in that window i set the "tracking speed" to fast. this works except for when the cursor rolls over a clickable object. for example the red yellow and green circles in the top left of a window will reduce the "tracking speed" when the cursor moves over top of them. how do i turn this feature off?
    thanks
    any help is greatly appreciated!
    if you need more info just ask

    is it not possible to turn this feature off?

  • Can I use a USB mouse/keyboard over wifi?

    So I'm pretty sure this won't work with an Airport Extreme's usb port but I want to be able to use my mouse and keyboard over wifi through my router. I found some USB servers that I think might do this, (http://tinyurl.com/nr478z, http://tinyurl.com/dc8ph7) but I'm not sure if these will support a mouse and keyboard. It seems like I could just plug these into the Airport through ethernet and just configure them to send the mouse, but..... they all only mention printers and hard drives and such. Does anyone have any experience with these type of products and if they will work for this?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Your hunch is correct. The USB port will work with compatible printers and hard drives, but not other devices.

  • MBP + external monitor + USB mouse + iTunes = lag

    Hello, I am wondering if any of you can offer a solution to my problem. When I use my mac with my external monitor and external mouse, there is a systemwide lag every 3 seconds - the display sort of pauses, briefly interrupting mouse input and video playback. When deleting a long line of text it is again apparent.
    It is not the mouse, as I have tried 3 different mice with the up to date drivers and they all work fine while itunes is not open and when using the laptop's screen, which also eliminates the variable of a poor mouse surface (it is good regardless).
    There is no skipping when using the laptop's screen, regardless of itunes being open or not. Also, there is no skipping at all when I boot into windows and use it with the external display.
    The skipping also occurs when video is being played back via Quicktime, with iTunes closed. The same video played with VLC does not cause the issue.
    I have the computer hooked up to a Samsung SyncMaster 2494HM LCD, via the apple mini DP to DVI adapter, and with a DVI-HDMI cable (this decreased the issue from when it was connected with DVI and skipped all the time).
    I have tried a different user account, and the problem persists there too. I have reset my PRAM and NVRAM also.
    This is quite strange; any suggestions?

  • USB Device Not Recognized on Windows 7 - USB mouse

    I have a 4 week old Inspiron 1545 with Windows 7 Home premium that has developed an error: USB errors while trying to install a Microsoft USB mouse on this Laptop.   Interestingly, my Microsoft USB Mouse installed perfectly first time and worked for about 2 weeks, and then failed.   In looking at the system restore points, it tells me that there have been two driver updates to the USB environment since the unit was shipped from Dell.   I wonder if an automatic update from Microsoft has somehow inadvertently updated or replaced a Dell factory driver.
    Two nights ago I spent 45 minutes with Dell tech support doing remote control bug fixing on this laptop.  They werent able to fix it (in the time allowed).  They downloaded at least one of their newest drivers onto this machine and rebooted it - and they seemed pretty savvy - but still not working.  So I went ahead a did a system restore to a point about 10 days back because I could see that a USB driver would be affected (as shown in the system restore menus), and I would like to compliment Microsoft on this very cool functionality!
    At this point, I've unplugged the USB mouse , used the Device Manager to delete the 'unknown device', and done a system restore back to what I suspected was a working point.   But still getting a 'Device not recognized' warning every few minutes, and still don't have a working mouse.  I don't want to have to do system restores back to pprevious dates, although I suspect this is one solution.

    Hello,
    I just wanted to let u know, I had this same issue for about 2 weeks. Basically what happened was a bad install of my AMD Chipset drivers. When I attempted to upgrade, the install didn't go all the way through.
    I then restarted my system, and BAM! No Mouse or Keyboard functionality thru USB.
    Even when I went into SAFE MODE the Mouse and Keyboard were not functional. The only time they worked was when the computer first attempted to start, BEFORE windows loaded.
    So, this means that your issue is a software problem.
    I thought it was some other software that I installed, and ran a restore session, but that wasn't the issue. Still no functionality.
    I even tried removing my CMOS battery, to reset it, since some people said that had solved their problems...Still nothing.
    I then read other forums around the web using my Android phone to try and find a solution, only those solutions were no help.
    I was also advised to run: MSCONFIG and Hide all  Windows programs and then stop every other driver, source from loading (of course if my mouse and kb worked, I would have tried that).
    I had even read that because I was using USB, that I should try using a PS/2 Mouse and Keyboard connection.
    It took me 2 weeks to get the correct PS2 adapter that worked, which would essentially allow me access to my system again...
    I  Purchased a USB A Female to PS2 (MDIN6) Male Adapter (for Mouse) from http://www.SFCable.com
    This my friends, was a lifesaver. I only have one PS2 port on my system, so I used my mouse to try  every option I had previously read about. Of course you cannot type because the keyboard doesn't work, so you need to know the location of the folder where
    the programs you are trying to run are.
    So, a little after I got back into my system, and I closed down all programs, the warning screen came up that ALL of my USB Ports failed and could not be updated. I even  Uninstalled every last USB port from the System Properties and restarted, and still
    that didn't work.
     I had forgotten that during the time when this problem arose, there was a failed install of my AMD chipset drivers, so luckily I had not deleted the source file and I tried to reinstall, and VIOLA! I'm back up and running and my USB ports are restored
    and everything is working!
    I hope this solution is able to help other people out there.
    Thanks,

  • Can't get any USB mouse to work!!!!!

    I have a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. Everything was fine with my Microsoft USB mouse until 2 days ago when it stopped responding. I put it down to my son having dropped it and bought a Logitech M505 USB mouse today. This is not recognized either and won't work. I've tried plugging the unifying device into both USB ports but it simply won't work and I'm told there is no Logitech device plugged in. Can anyone help me? Please!?!

    I used my USB scanner last night and that worked fine and also when I plug in the receiver for the Microsoft mouse the light comes on so I figure everything is ok with the actual USB port? In system profiler/USB I can't see anything that would indicate a problem. Where would I have to look exactly? Is there some kind of test I can run to see if there is a problem?

  • After software update usb mouse no longer works.

    After software update Microsoft usb mouse no longer works. System Profiler "sees" usb mouse. I took my macbook to the Genius Bar at Apple and they were not able to help. Pretty lame....

    any ideas on how to solva this?

  • Driver to recognize usb mouse AND disable trackpad for gt780DX

    I have updated the trackpad as much as I can but my cursor still jumps inadvertently to other areas of text while I am typing. I know several other branded laptops have the ability to automatically disable the trackpad when a usb mouse is plugged in. Does anyone know of such a driver for the msi gt780DX? There is no current function to do this and its incredibly annoying and happens daily... Thanks...

    You didn't mention XP after this, so that and the thread title led me to believe that the problem only occurred in ME. I don't mean to be a jerk, but your initial post wasn't all that clear. And hey, man, I don't "blame" you--it's your hardware and it's yours to do as you please with. I see suspend/resume as a fairly trivial feature; thus, it just seemed to me that replacing a good (in my experience) mobo to fix it was a fairly drastic and costly measure. I was merely trying to help. Best of luck with the new mobo.

  • T61 Keyboard disabled when external USB mouse plugged.

    Hi,
    I have a T61 with WinXP SP3. Also a Microsoft 4000 wireless USB mouse. If I plug in the mouse too early in the boot process, they keyboard and ultranav stop functioning (probably disabled somehow). The external mouse still works. How to change this functionality?
    Thanks!

    I use a Microsoft 3000 USB-attached mouse.
    I plug the mouse dongle into the USB port BEFORE pushing the Power On switch, and have never had any trouble.

  • I recently bought, from the original website of Adobe, Photoshop elements 13. However, when I go with my mouse pointer over the menu, It hangs or he works very slow. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it? I have already downloaded updates, both from A

    I recently bought, from the original website of Adobe, Photoshop elements 13. However, when I go with my mouse pointer over the menu, It hangs or he works very slow. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it? I have already downloaded updates, both from Adobe and Windows. I have a new pc with window 8.1.

    It could be a coincidence, but I rebooted the machine and (knock on wood) PSE13 seems to be working ok.

  • My external usb mouse no longer works on my dv7-3085dx.

    My HP Pavilion dv7-3085dx, running Windows 7 64-bit, is having issues recognizing the external usb mouse.  Normally the mouse will work a few seconds to minutes before the computer makes the sound that the usb has been unplugged (even thouugh it has not)  I have tested the mouse on all the usb ports and on several other computers to make sure it wasn't an issue with the mouse cord.  Furthermore, I have tried using several different usb mice with the same results.  I have also tried using other usb devices on my laptop (e.g. usb storage devices and cooling fan) with no issues to their performance and no usb device disconnect sound.  Any help would be greatly appreciated as using only the touchpad makes gaming more of a challenge than I'm ready for.

    Hi,
    As per the issue you have mentioned it seems like the HID compliant mouse had been disabled .
    Try to open device manager (Click on start type in device manager in Search programs and files  click on device manager ) and that will open new window device manager go to Mice and other pointing devices click on the small arrow next to Mice and other pointing devices  check to see if there is a down arrow on HID-compliant mouse if found right click on it and click on enable which will enable the Usb mouse  
    If you find the above steps help you resolve the issue please click on kudos.

  • [SOLVED] External USB mouse doesn't work

    I've installed Arch on my laptop and today faced with a problem. When I boot with AC off my external USB mouse doesn't work. Also it looks like USB ports don't work. If I detached AC when working mouse works fine.
    I can suppose there is some problem with laptop mode. May be it turns off usb ports to save energy. Anyway quick search doesn't brings any results. If someone give me a hint how to solve this problem I'll be very grateful.

    Well, after diving into configs solution has been founded. The point was to disable auto suspend feature in laptop-mode-tools config by setting BATT_SUSPEND_USB variable to 0 in /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/usb-autosuspend.conf
    Hope this information will be helpful for users who probably faced with the same problem. Thank you!

  • HELP! Continuous Object Motion When Mouse Moves Over - ActionScript 3.

    Hello! I'm working on a school project. Below is an image of what I am working on.
    My cursor in this movie is the heart. When I move my mouse over Hello Kitty she jumps -- but only once. How can I get her to keep jumping when my mouse is over her, and make her stop jumping when I pull away? Here is the code below. If you can help that would be great!!!
    Also, because I am new to ActionScript I might have messed up with the motion of the animation. Hello Kitty used to jump continuously without me doing anything. Then I copied the motion code into my ACTIONS layer and put stop(); in the Hello Kitty object code. So, she doesn't jump all the time anymore, just when my mouse moves over her... but she only jumps once and that is the problem. I want her to keep jumping as long as my mouse is over her. Please HELP! THANKS!!!!
    import fl.motion.Animator; // I COPIED THIS MOTION FROM THE TWEEN MOTION ON THE KITTY

    I won't be around much longer today, so on just a hunch I'd say if you comment out all of what you showed in your first posting, use what's below, and get rid of anything that might be stopping the kitty from jumping, it might work... though it might not...
    HKITTY_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
    HKITTY_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, kittyJump);
    function kittyJump(event:MouseEvent):void {
         HKITTY_mc.play();

  • USB Mouse hooks by slow movement.

    Hello community,
    english is not my primary language,
    but i hope, you understand me^^
    I used the search function, but found nothing, what could help me.
    I want to use a logitech usb mouse on my macbook.
    The mouse needs no software and my mac is detecting her.
    I can move the mouse with no problem, but:
    When i move the mouse slowly, the cursor, hooks.
    He moves in the direction i want, but not with a smooth movement.
    Instead he hooks around.
    I thought, the mouse speed-up could be the problem,
    but it seems, it is something else.
    I also tested another usb mouse with the same result.
    I hope, someone can help me and knows a solution for my problem.
    If there is further information about my mac or the mouse needed,
    let me know.
    Greetings

    I use Logitech mice exclusively--there is a preference pane for their products. I strongly recommend you install it because it allows you maximum control over all the mouse functions, plus the ability to assign extra functions to the buttons.
    Below is the US version of the page you will use to find mouse software. Scroll to the bottom to find a "Change Location" link to allow you to view it in your preferred language.
