How is the wireless mouse support in Arch?

i plan to buy this mouse for using it in my HTPC
http://articulo.mercadolibre.cl/MLC-138 … -pilas-_JM
arch will detect it instantly?
it will work well?
thanks

I've used that mouse in the past. You should be aware that it goes through batteries very quickly, and wasn't very reliable. I gave up on it. If you want a good reliable small mouse, the best one I've found is (maybe surprisingly) a Microsoft mouse:

It's been perfect. My wife uses it to play KDE4 games on an old laptop -- she's addicted to KBounce

Which Bluetooth mouse for iPad would that be?

How can I access applications if the wireless mouse does NOT work?

I have a new iMac (Snow Leopard) which comes with a wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse. Just in case that the wireless mouse does not work, how can I navigate through applications and the screen?
Any advice will be welcome. Thanks and cheers, Veit

Great, it works.
Let me replicate:
Shift-Command-A (on the Desktop, (but how to get there?) to open Apps, e.g System Preferences;
Arrow keys to navigate within Apps;
Command-down arrow to open a specific app;
Arrows to move around, e.g. to Magic Mouse
Space to open Magic Mouse;
Tab to move between options and arrows to change these; and Tab back to the back icon.
Thanks a lot to both of you, much appreciated your help. Cheers, Veit

21" Imac suddenly stopped finding the wireless mouse (with new batteries)

Despite my changing the batteries in the wireless mouse, and despite the fact that the Bluetooth is working with my wireless keyboard, I can't get the IMac to recognise and connect with the wireless mouse. Any ideas?

Hi Steve,
I just started having the same problem with my mouse. First it started not waking the computer. Today even the space bar wouldn't wake the computer. But I'm more concerned with reconnecting with the mouse. How did you delete the mouse in the Bluetooth devices list? I can't seem to delete it. Is it because I have a USB mouse plugged in until I fix the wireless one? I doubt that has anything to do with it. It sounds like your fix worked, but I can't delete the mouse. Help! Jeri

Hi, I just returned from the Apple Store in Larkspur CA and paired my wireless mouse with one of their computers, but it's won't pair with mine at home. Bluetooth is on and it recognizes the wireless keyboard, see's the wireless mouse but won't pair.

While you are waiting for the new charger, go ahead and reset you SMC:

What's up with the wireless mouse?

This is my first Mac and so far am very impressed with the features and ease of use. My only complaint so far is the wireless mouse. I find it very imprecise and the curser tends to dart across the screen for no apparent reason. I have played with the sensitivity settings and the batteries came in the same package as the ones being used in the keyboard, which works fine. Is this common with the wireless mouse and is there anything that can be done to fix this?

I'm inclined to believe the problem resides with the surface that the mouse is on.
Optical mice can be very picky about the surface.
If you're not already... try to use a surface that is a single, non-reflective, dark color. Avoid woodgrain, anything shiny, or anything with an irregular pattern.
My woodgrain desktop used to drive my optical mouse nuts. I now use a sheet of black paper under the mouse, and it works like a charm.

How will the Time Capsule support IPv6 and coop with the new emerging security threats that will emerge due to the new technical possibilities that IPv6 provide?

How will the Time Capsule support IPv6 and coop with the new emerging security threats that will emerge due to the new technical possibilities that IPv6 provide?

Cross your fingers and hope.
Obviously if there is any big or known threat Apple will send out a firmware fix.
But the TC is designed to be end user simple device. It has no firewall that is visible at any rate. I don't know that it truly doesn't have a firewall but it is not part of the end user controls.
IMO if you have major security concerns that go beyond end device firewall, which is where Apple do put most of the security, since firewall in the router is plainly not a stop to anybody deliberately downloading an infected file or website, and most end users.. do not want a firewall that prevents them using the web like a business does, where only certain ports are allowed. Everything else tough luck.. you are not allowed to use it. Then TC is unsuitable for you anyway.. buy a proper firewall appliance.

Hey do you know if the wireless mouse pad works with the ipad 2?

There is no mouse or cursor used with iOS devices.

Downloaded Mountain Lion on my iMac. Why is it so slow opening up from sleep and taking so long for the wireless mouse to engage?

Downloaded Mountain Lion on my iMac. Why is it so slow opening up from sleep and taking so long for the wireless mouse to engage?

Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

I'm trying to drag with the wireless mouse. But the item i'm dragging is copied instead of moved

I'm trying to drag with a wireless mouse. But the item i'm dragging gets copied in the new location instead of moved to the new location.

If you drag to another folder it moves. If you drag to another disk, it copies.
This can be modified by certain control keys:
Command key while dragging
Move dragged item to other volume/location (pointer icon changes while key is held--see this article)
Option key while dragging
Copy dragged item (pointer icon changes while key is held--see this article)
Option-Command key combination while dragging
Make alias of dragged item (pointer icon changes while key is held--see this article)

I have to use a wireless mouse with my MacBook Pro because the touchpad does not consistently work. Now, the wireless mouse is not consistently staying connected. Any ideas??

Why doesn't my Apple wireless remote remain connected? It is frequently giving me a "lost connection" signal and since the touch pad works intermittently it has become frustrating.

How to program wireless mouse to access Dashboard?

My old apple usb mouse would access dashboard with the scrolling ball when I tapped the scrolling ball.
How to do that with the wireless?

Third-party drivers for the Magic Mouse are now available which do allow you to add additional swipe and click functions:

I moved my Mac and am trying to set things up again. The computer detected the wireless mouse immediately, but does not find the keyboard. What does "discoverable" mean? The keyboard is turned on. Don't know what else to do.

I have just moved and am setting up my Mac again. It immediately found the mouse but cannot seem to find the wireless keyboard. What does it mean to be discoverable? The keyboard is on with blinking green light, but the computer can't seem to find it. What do I do?

What does it mean to be discoverable?
Open System Preferences > Bluetooth
Make sure On and Discoverable are both selected.

How's the wireless reception?

Sorry if this should be in the Networking section...I wasn't sure. But I was just wondering how well the reception is on the MBP? I have heard that the old Powerbooks had trouble connecting to access points because the aluminum casing hindered this. Any troubles getting wireless reception in places where plastic cased notebooks received it easily? Thanks in advance for any help.

I use a Dell Latitude D600 and a 15" MacBook Pro at both work and home and I find that the Dell usually reports a full strength signal and yet the MacBook suffers with bad reception. I originally thought this may be a channel problem but this is not the case.
At work we are currently using a Linksys access point and my laptops are about 20 meters from it. Dell reports full signal and MacBook reports about 2-3 bars strength.
At home I use a Belkin Pre-N router and everywhere in the house or garden the Dell reports full signal strength where as the MacBook Pro really suffers in the garden or upstairs.
Now the strange thing is upstairs I have an iMac G5 17" and that reports a full strength signal. Sit the MacBook Pro next to the iMac and the signal is no where near as good.
I am convinced that the antenna on the MacBook Pro suffers more purely because the case is aluminium (or whatever it is!) and this is the problem.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
