Updated to snow leopard, now my mouse does not work I have restarted the computer and there is a box on the start up page looking for a wireless mouse which I do not have. How do I fix this buy a wireless mouse?

My mouse quit working shortly after installing snow leopard.
On the log in screen it is stuck looking for a wirelesss mouse, which I do not have
How do I get around this besides buying a wireless mouse?

What kind of mouse do you have? USB? Have you tried to plug it in - try all the USB ports (maybe there is a problem with one). It should automatically detect it.

My wireless mouse does not work-how do I link it by wired keyboard? Is there a key stroke to open system preferences?

My wireless mouse, keyboard and keypad for my iMac have all become unlinked for some reason. Just turned it on, no linkage. I do have a wired keyboard that I connected in order to sign on. Now I cannot choose system preferences and link my wireless devices without my mouse. What key strokes are used to choose the Apple, the system preferences in the dock, or some way to start the linking process?

First, make sure your batteries are fully charged; you can also use alkaline batteries if you want. When you insert the batteries, press the depressed button on the right side of your keyboard/wireless mouse; both should automatically "link" onto your computer via bluetooth connection.
Also, make sure the bluetooth devices are linked by going to System Preferences/Bluetooth, and make sure the "On" and "Discoverable" boxes are checked.
And please, post here if you've achieved success.

MacBook Pro Mountian Lion, security update, process bar opens but does not download, how to fix?

Firefox says there is an important security update and when I click the update the blue bar appears and just spins and never moves. I let the laptop sit for a whole day and still nothing. I have to close the update box. I updates to mountain lion about a month ago.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 22.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded

My bluetooth is off on my mac so my wireless mouse does not work how do I turn it on --i have no corded mouse, my bluetooth is off on my mac so my wireless mouse does not work how do I turn it on --i have no corded mouse

my bluetooth is off and I have a wireless mouse- i have turned mac off and disconnected all usb and then turn back on but wireless wont come on so how do I turn it back on (have no idea how it got turned off) without a wired mouse???

Hello:
According to Apple's documentation, you cannot turn Bluetooth off unless there is a USB device connected.
Do you have a wired keyboard? If so, you could try resetting the PRAM and SMC - although I do not think that would help.

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

After open easy interactive driver mouse does not function in 10.6.8

When open the Easy Interactive drive to calibarate the pen mouse does not funtioning on Snow Lepoard.

hi there,
i get the exactly same error,
i can also print by Generic PLC driver,
or output a config test page by holding power and pressing red X once on the printer.
but i always get "drucker ist belegt" which means "printer is in use" error when i try hps mac osx K550 10.7 driver !
everything works (hp utility tools to calibrate etc. stuff) except for printing from whatever application i use
what the hell is happening here? and how can i get full funtionality back?
i already have Firmware version 20061019 SPP0013H which seems like the only one i could download-
but, although i would possibly need this firmware update-
there is no way to install the firmware update,
since clever people of HP decided not to leave a tool for osx lion users,
the manual for doing firmware updates is only written for 10.4.8 users (maybe half a dozen years ago?!)
i cant find a update firmware option anywhere although i see a firmwareupdate.task plugin which seems to be for hp printer utility.... but i cant use it sensefully ....
what are you up to? making me crazy? making people buy new stuff?
is there any solution in sight?

TS3048 my magic mouse does not want to right click anymore?

My magic mouse does not seem to right click anymore, any suggestions? For example, I used to right click on my icon of my memory card from the camera that I have inserted into the side of the IMac and I could choose "eject" now it doesn't want to right click and open up those options. Am I doing something wrong?

Hey.
This seems to be a common issue.
I've seen mixed posts on the net about the ES8000 working with the Apple Keyboard but from what I've seen the Apple mouse tends to fail the sync constantly.
Sad, I just bought a mouse to improve navigasting on the ES8000 and dissapointed that it doesn't sync. Maybe an issue with drivers on the TV.
Which Dell mouse (model number) works for you?

After using Tab Groups earlier today, now anytime I close FF with more than 1 tab open, FF does NOT ask me to confirm before closing

After using Tab Groups earlier today, now anytime I close FF with more than 1 tab open, FF does NOT ask me to confirm before closing. FF always has asked me to confirm in the past and no settings were changed prior to trying the Tab Groups. Then when I reopen FF all the tabs that I had open are still there. I've tried refreshing FF and clearing history but that didn't work. It's almost as though FF thinks the window and tabs I have open are a tab group and it won't let me get rid of that group. How do I stop the Tab Groups now that I got them? Or is there something else going on? None of this was happening until I played with the Tab Groups this morning. I was curious what it was --- that's going to get me killed one of these days lol.

Thanks. Somehow the "Show my windows and tabs" box had gotten checked. I know I didn't check that box and the "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" box has always been checked. Like I said, it was all working fine until I tried the tab groups so I'm wondering if maybe that checks the "Show my windows and tabs" box by default?
Anyway, it's fixed now. Thanks so much!

Since installing Lion, I have not been able to utilize Time Machine (does not recognize the back-up drive); my wireless mouse does not function properly; I have experienced unreasonable delays in the system. Is there a fix or upgrade coming?

Is there a fix or upgrade to deal with the many problems I am experiencing since I installed Lion? I can no longer utilize Time Machine (Does not see the back-up drive); my wireless mouse does not work properly; my iMac has slowed down considerably. I am reminded of having a PC machine again. Bummer!

Either downgrade to Snow Leopard or try reinstalling Lion.
Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
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. Alterhatively, 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: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

My magic mouse does not work with OS X Mountain Lion?

My magic mouse does not work the direction of vertical displacement with the update OS X Mountain Lion?

You are correct that you cannot install version 5.x of the AirPort Utility on OS X Mountain Lion. However, once installed it will run just fine. One workaround is to extract the utility directly from the disk image (.dmg) file.
Here are the basic steps to install version 5.6 under Mountain Lion using CharlesSoft's Pacifist:
If you haven't already download the AirPort Utility disk image file directly from Apple Support Download
Place the resultant AirPortUtility56.dmg file onto your Mac's Desktop.
Run Pacifist.
Click on the Open Package option. Find the disk image file that you just placed on your desktop, and then, click on Open.
The utility is located as follows: Contents of AirPortUtility56.dmg > Contents of AirPortUtility56.pkg > Contents of AirPortUtility56Lion.pkg > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6.app
Drag AirPort Utility 5.6.app to your Mac's /Applications/Utilities folder.
You can now run the AirPort Utility from the Utilities folder.

I upgraded pages. Now when I begin a new document I automatically have a text box. How do I get rid of the text box so that it does not automatically appear. What settings do I need to change?

Perhaps you are loading a template that has a text block already on it.
You might try the blank template option and set that as your go to template in your preferences

Wireless mouse does not work

my wireless mouse batteries formed buildup around them. Now my mouse does not work, is there a way to make it work after this happens?

When checking your mouse or keyboard batteries, assuming the mouse is paired.
Turn off the device.
Remove the batteries,
Thoroughly clean the terminals both inside the battery compartment and on the batteries themselves.
Replace or renew the batteries.
Turn on the device. You should get a steady green light if the devices are paired.
Click the mouse twice to activate it.
Whether you use regular or rechargeable batteries you should buy the best. Discounted or unbranded batteries are likely to give a depleted performance and may be of irregular size, often leading to connection problems. Apple’s own brand, Duracell, Energiser and appear to be the best.

ICal failing to run applescripts: The 'Open' button does not change to 'Run', and the script file is opened but not executed on alert.

iCal failing to run applescripts: The 'Open' button does not change to 'Run', and the script file is opened but not executed.

Calendar (not called iCal anymore) does not include that capability any longer, apparently. What you have to do now is go to Automator and create a Calendar Alert action. You can add a Run AppleScript object to the action and paste in your script there, then when you save it, it will become available as a choice in the alert menu in Calendar.
