How to acquire BT to enable Mighty Mouse

I have an older computer and have never used Bluetooth technology. However, I have just acquired a Mighty Mouse and learned that I need BT to make it functional. Can you tell me where to start? (yes, I know, it requires batteries). I downloaded BT version 1.5 package but my computer does not recognize it. Is there a previous version that should be installed? - then possibly upgraded? Any suggestions? Otherwise, I will sadly have to return this device. Thanks for helping.

There is no need to respond to this question. I have decided to return the MM since I learned I would have to buy a BT hub.

  • How To Quesiton Re: Using Wirless Mighty Mouse with Windows PC

    I would like to use my wireless Mighty Mouse with my work PC. I need some type of wireless dongle but have no idea what type or brand. Could anyone suggest one that has worked for them?
    The PC I will be using at work is running Windows 7.
    Thanks !

    The Mighty Mouse utilizes Bluetooth for wireless connectivity, thus any standards compliant Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR dongle should work. Here is a link to one that should work great:

  • How do you clean the mighty mouse

    The scroll ball is getting stuck. Every once in a while I can get a little gunk (technical term) to roll out. This used to be the case with the old hockey puck mice too. How does one get into the mighty mouse to clean it out?

    Hello Ian,
    Instead of using water and risking damage to the mighty mouse by causing a short circuit I prefer using pure methyl alcohol.
    Methyl alcohol does not transmit elecricity, dissolves grease and easily vaporates...
    I also used methyl alcohol for years to clean Intel and AMD Cpus off of heat transmitting fluids.
    I described the whole easy cleaning process at

  • I want to program my mighty mouse ball click button

    How can I set up my Mighty Mouse ball button to open a URL in a new tab. I don't know how to write an Applescript to do this, or is there another way. Apple didn't make this an option in the system preferences.
    Thanks for any help,

    Welcome to the Apple boards:
    Since there are millions of possibilities, and everyone wants a button to do their favorite action, you should learn to write or modify an apple script and customize your mouse yourself. It's educational and fun.
    If you select "Other" for the button action, you will be in the script folder, which is where Apple wants you to be. If you look, you will see thousands of actions you can assign to your button.
    If you open one of these scripts manually (they are in the system library folder) and read it you will see how easy it is to modify or create one.
    All you are looking for is to assign the key combination "Apple-T" to the button, correct?
    You can also create a script with Automator which is even simpler. And just as much fun.

  • Mighty Mouse function change

    How do I change my right Mighty Mouse button to a "double click"?

    I don't think that you are able to make the the become a double click mouse... just able to adjust the speed of the double click....
    But there may be a way to make the icons respond to a single click...I'm still trying to figure that one out.
    Cheers

  • How to Configure Mighty Mouse in Windows 7?

    How to Configure Mighty Mouse in Windows 7?
    For example the 3rd and 4th Buttons on the Mighty Mouse.
    How to configure those actions in Windows 7?

    There is no need for additional drivers.
    Why?
    If you have a Wireless Mighty Mouse you have to turn your computer visible for other devices in the Bluetooth preferences - then simply search for Bluetooth devices, connect - done!
    To configure the Mighty Mouse's buttons, you might want to have a look at a tool called X-Mouse Button Control (http://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/XMouseButtonControl.htm).

  • How do I keep crumbs out of my Mighty Mouse?

    I keep getting crumbs in the little scroll ball and then it won't scroll.
    How do I remedy this?

    I think a handheld vacuum attached to your desk (inlet facing the mouse) might work. Just turn it on while your eating. That should just suck up all those crumbs before they can get into the mouse. Or just use a napkin before you touch the mouse.
    I kinda have the same problem with my MX Revolution. I occassionaly have to vacuum it out but the holes and crevices are larger than the Mighty Mouse, so it is a little easier.

  • How to launch LaunchPad with mighty mouse?

    How do I configure my mighty mouse to launch LaunchPad?
    Thanks...

    I have done this very surgery on my USB Mighty Mouse 3 or four times over the last four years. The first time is the toughest because Apple uses so many points of glue around the mouse. I used an X-acto knife and patience and was inside the mouse in barely ten minutes. After that everything is very straight forward as the photos show. I sparingly glue six points when I reassemble the mouse to facilitate opening it again in the future. The Mighty Mouse is now a backup as I have the new wireless Magic Mouse.
    It is not a lot of work or difficult and while you are repairing the buttons it will surely need a cleaning. But a warning, those rollers in the photos are really tiny, so if you loose one in the carpet or under the bed the rollerball is shot! Also, the reason the rollers line up so nicely in his photos is because they are magnetized, so that can fight against you getting them to stay in position when you reassemble the rollerball unit. But it beats buying a new mouse.

  • How to remove Mighty Mouse software...

    Does anyone know how to remove the Mighty Mouse software and go back to the default mouse preferences pane that came with OSX?
    thank you
    David

    I have had this same problem. I had Tiger, and my mighty mouse worked fine. But then I installed the CD that came with it and it ruined the mouse pref pane so that it looked like you were using the mighty mouse in 10.3.9.
    I had no fix to this, but when I got my wireless mighty mouse and installed the software, it restored the preferance pane and now my wired mighty mouse has the tiger features again.
