Can a wireless mouse be uses with the new iPad?

While it is true that mice or other pointing device like track pads are not supported on the iPad since there is no real pointer, I use a stylus pen. I know it would probably tip over the iPad if you are standing it up, but it's the closest I've seen. I use the Wacom Bamboo stylus and a Zagg keyboard and the case for the iPad and keyboard. I use the stylus a lot on the Paper app to take notes in meetings and such. Not really a solution but if you are trying to move an insertion point in a document, it does work.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can use it on a PC, but to use it properly, you will need the drivers, that are only included with a Mac. In conclusion, you will be able to use the Apple Wireless mouse but with problems

What is the best wireless printer to use with an IPad Air and IPhone?

What is the best wireless printer to use with an IPad Air and IPhone that will print both text and photos? Also, is the separate keyboard available for the IPad Air, yet?

Best is relative. Different people like different things. I have an epson that I like. I'd look through a site like Best Buy and compare reviews for Air Print enabled printers.
as to the keyboard, I know Zagg has one and I think there are other manufacturers that have keyboards for the Air. As far as I know, pretty much any bluetooth keyboard will work, but if you want a case then you'd need to get a specific one.

Can a wireless/bluetooth mouse be used with iPad?

Neither can a USB connected mouse.
Other than a stylus, this is the only "mouse" that can be used with the iPad.

Apple Wireless mouse and keyboard with Windows on iMac Intel

Hi there!
Is it possible to use the Apple Wireless mouse and keyboard on the iMac Intel running Windows XP?
My bluetooth setup assistant can't find any of them.
Thanks!

Actually if You Use the wireless mouse during the setup for windows it works fine the only drawback it that using the wireless mouse on windows is that it drains the battery more quickly than Mac OS X does. So make sure you have extra batteries around

Can I use my apple wireless mouse and keyboard with my Mac Mini and Windows PC?

Hello, I recently dug up a windows PC computer for side projects, and I was able to get by using my wireless apple keyboard and mouse for my Mac mini, and then using a usb mouse for my PC, I want to eliminate the usb keyboard and mouse and just use the bluetooth keyboard. Both computers are usually on all the time, and the windows PC uses a bluetooth adapter. I can get my keyboard and mouse to work on both, but I have to sync them to whatever system I would like everytime I want to use it. Is there any solution that when I choose the Mac Mini my keyboard and mouse will work for the Mac mini, and when I choose my windows pc, the keyboard will only be used on windows without having to resync?

To my knowledge, no.

Apple wireless mouse does not reconnect after changing batteries

The wireless mouse on my iMac quit working after I changed batteries. There was no response to mouse clicks, or movement, or scrolling. Eventually I connected a USB mouse, did an orderly shutdown of the system, rebooted, and the mouse started working again.
The long story ...
The first time I encountered this problem was the first time I changed batteries in the Apple Wireless Mouse that came with the iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo I purchased in January 2010. (The OS is 10.6.2 without updates.) I switched the mouse on, the green light on the bottom of the mouse blinked for awhile (at least a minute), but clicking or moving the mouse got no response. The new batteries were Eneloop 1.2v rechargeables. I tried clicking and moving the mouse several times over a period of ten or fifteen minutes, nothing.
I started searching the web for clues about what to do and maybe a half hour or so later I tried the mouse again and it worked.
A few days later I wanted to see if the problem was reproducible. I don’t remember now whether I removed the batteries and reinserted them or just power cycled the mouse, but again the mouse quit working. The green light would blink for awhile, about a minute, then would go off completely. I took this to mean the mouse was searching for the Bluetooth network, not finding it, and giving up. Over the period of half an hour or more I tried switching the mouse off and back on several times. The green light would blink, but nothing more.
I started searching for tips about reconnecting an Apple wireless mouse after changing batteries. I ran across a (2005) discussion on MacRumors forums titled “Wireless mouse troubleshooting problem...” The symptom was a little different, the mouse was partially functional. In this discussion some contributors thought weak batteries could be to blame. So I replaced the rechargeable batteries with new alkaline batteries. Still no go.
I attached a USB mouse and looked at the Bluetooth preferences pane. I was surprised to see the Apple Wireless Mouse was listed there with status paired and connected. Still at this point switching the mouse off and on would produce blinking light on the mouse, but no functionality.
I tried various things in the Bluetooth preferences to see if I could get the mouse connection to restart. When I tried to delete the mouse connection there was an alert saying this was the only mouse connected, was I sure I wanted to disconnect. I said yes, but nothing changed in the Bluetooth preferences pane. I tried unchecking the Bluetooth “On” box, etc. Eventually I only succeeded in losing response to the keyboard as well.
I attached a USB keyboard, shutdown the system, and rebooted. I didn’t know if having the USB keyboard and mouse plugged in would interfere with the wireless devices, but it did not. After the reboot both the wireless keyboard and the mouse were functional again.
Since then I have tried removing the batteries briefly a couple of more times to see if the problem would recur. I actually put the rechargeable batteries back in. Both times the connection was remade as soon as I clicked the mouse. I also now have seen the Apple support article about setting favorite Bluetooth devices http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21371 . I'll try that if this issue comes up again.

Hi, is this a question" Post?
or are you just offering an insight into your Mouse Issue?
Generally and at times we all have little idiosyncrasies appearing with the running of our Macs.
I use the same Logitech BT with my MBP. MB & iBook..(not at the same time) Only ever had one issue
and the cure was to completely Delete the mouse from BT -> Repair Permissions & Reboot then Re Install the BT mouse..Ihave just put a new set of batteries in the Logitech (only 2nd set ever)...L

Anybody using an Apple wireless mouse on the Mac Mini ?

Just bought the bluetooth wireless mouse and keyboard for my new Mac mini core due. The performance of the wireless mouse is disappointing. I believe the timing gap between the hand movement with the cursor movement on the screen is far too long so it is difficult to control the mouse smoothly. I have been using radio type wireless mouse on other PCs and the Apple wireless mouse is the worst mouse I have ever used. Don't know whether anybody here has smiliar experience. Any recommendation to retify or improve this?? I'm happy with the new Mac mini though, and the wirelss keyboard is only okay ( it loses connection with the Mac occassionally even in short distance).

I had a same trouble in my Core Duo 1.66. I posted the same message in Apple Japan Discussions. There is no reply. Then, I checked U.S. Discussions and find your message.
First, I think a low battery issue in Apple wireless mous, but not. The mous was working for Mini G4. I asked replacement the Mini, then I got another new one. It had the same trouble.
I found It depends on a distance between Mini and the mous.
<30cm, it worked perfect.
<div class="jive-quote">30, <50cm, it did not work anytime, cursor movement was not smooth.
1m, it did not work smooth, every time cursor was skipping on the monitor.</div>
I tried it on two new Minis. Mini G4, it works perfectly even it is >5m.
I believe that it is bletooth issue.
Could you check the distance dependance between Mini and the mous.
Finally, I returned the Core Duo 1.66 and refund. If This issue is solved, New Mini performance will be good enough for me.

I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on what other external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and how to configure that disk

I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time
Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on
what other
external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and
how to configure that disk.
A complication that I need to resolve is the fact that I am using Vmware
Fusion to be able to use Windows on my Mac. Now it seems that Time
Machine is not backing up my files
on that virtual Windows without additional configuration and my question
is whether you can advise me here or whether this is only a matter for
the Fusion virtual machine.

If you want to use Time Capsule you can.. you simply bridge it and plug it into the existing router.. wireless can be either turned off or used to reinforce the existing wireless.. eg use 5ghz in the TC which is much faster than your 2.4ghz.
You can also use a NAS.. many brands available but the top brands are synology, qnap and netgear readynas series. These will all do Time Machine backups although how well always depends on Apple sticking to a standard. There are cheaper ones.. I bought a single disk zyxel which was rebadged and sold through my local supermarket. It actually works very well for TM at least on Snow Leopard. Major changes were made in Lion and again ML so do not instantly think it will work on later versions. I haven't tried it yet with those versions.
Any external drive can be plugged into the mac. Use the one with the fastest connection or cheapest price according to your budget. USB2 drives are cheap and plentiful. But no where near as fast as USB3 or FW800. So just pick whichever suits the ports on your Mac. Interesting Apple finally moved to USB3 on their latest computers.
TM should exclude the VM partition file.. it is useless backing it up from Mac OS side.. and will slow TM as it needs to backup that partition everyday for no purpose.. TM cannot see the files inside it to backup just the changes.
You need to backup windows from windows. Use MSbackup to external drive.. if you have pro or ultimate versions you can backup to network drive. But MSbackup is a dog.. at least until the latest version it cannot restore the partition without first loading windows. There are about a zillion backup software versions for windows.. look up reviews and buy one which works for you. I use a free one Macrium Reflect which does full disk backups and is easy to restore.. to do incremental backups though you have to pay for it.

Apple Wireless Mouse - No Longer Pairs with Mac Mini?

Hi there,
I've had an Apple Wireless Keyboard and an Apple Wireless Mouse for several months. Unfortunately, the Apple Wireless Mouse no longer pairs with the Mac Mini (Core Duo, 1.66) -- it is getting very frustrating.
I've tried rebooting the machine, restarting the mouse, and nothing works. Sometimes I get the Bluetooth Setup Assistant which says that it found 1 Mouse, but it failed to pair.
I replaced the batteries, but nothing changes.
Help!

Normally that's caused by debris under the trackball preventing the rollers from moving. Turn the mouse upside down and rub the trackball Vigorously with a microfiber cloth.
The symptoms are usually that scroll will work one direction but not the other.

I have an Apple wireless keyboard that I use with my iPad 2. Does it work with the iPad 3?

I have an Apple wireless keyboard synced to my iPad 2. Can sync this same keyboard be used with my iPad 3? If so, what are the syncing instructions?

Assuming you are talking about the aluminium keyboard the answer is yes. I had some problems trying to get my iPad 2/keyboard combo to 'forget' their connection but one complete the keyboard connected to my iPad 3.

Why is my boot camp setup stuck at Apple Wireless Mouse?

Well I finally got Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro and when I try to put Bootcamp on the Windows side it gets stuck at the instalation. It's been on Apple Wireless Mouse for a good bit now. Did I mess up somehow?

The wireless mice you're buying.... are they 2.4GHz wireless ones (the ones that come with their own micro-dongle) or Bluetooth? If they're the 2.4GHz wireless ones, go buy yourself a good bluetooth one. Your Mac has bluetooth in it and can connect to one of these mice without the need to use the dongle that comes with them. I've seen a quite a bit of issues (jerky movement due to low battery too far away or other movement problems) with the non-bluetooth wireless ones.
Also, be aware that if the mice you're using are laser based, the movement will be laggy and jerky if they're not used on the proper surface. Only the more expensive ones have better laser systems in them that can be used on multiple surfaces, but still not all.

Apple wireless mouse and keyboard stop working ... now says OS X version and bluetooth incompatible

For no apparent reason my apple wireless mouse and keyboard stopped working. I was not upgrading or installing anything, the batteries are good, nothing was changed as far as I know. Now bluetooth discovers the paired devices, connects for about 30 seconds, the disconnects ... or stays connected but doesn't work.
What's happenned ... I'm rushing to finish a big job ... any ideas? I've tried re-pairing but doesn't work ... says that OSX version may be incompatible with device bluetooth ... I'm using Lion so maybe there is another lion problem?

Hello:
Barry: What do you mean with "making devices favorites"?
This is the method:
Go to system preferences>bluetooth. Highlight an item in the sidebar. If detailed information does not appear, click on the little gear and select show more info. Then click on the gear again and select favorite.
And how could an hardware-related problem be (temporarily) solved rebooting the OS?
Intermittent problems are, IMHO, most often caused by hardware. Restarting will occasionally "fix" problems - why, I do not know.
