IMac with Wireless Keyboard and Mouse question

My mouse doesn't do anything when I right click. It is a standard wireless mouse, how can I get it to right click?

The Apple Wireless Mouse doesn't have a right click button. To access the right click menu, hold down the Control key, and click the mouse wherever necessary.

  • Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Questions

    I am now running this brand new iMac with wireless keyboard and wireless mouse, which is great. I want to know if it is possible (or recommended) to turn off the battery in these two things while the CPU is asleep. Every time I put it to sleep and switch off one of these things, it springs back to life.
    Also, what kind of lifespan do these batteries have? I bought the charger and two batteries with the computer, FYI. Thank you.

    Yes, I would just leave the mouse and keyboard turned on. Way too much trouble to do otherwise. Well, about battery life. I've found that the batteries in this wireless keyboard that came with this iMac have a very long battery life. I think the originals lasted about 5 months. On the other hand, the Magic Mouse has an appetite for batteries. It magically eats them. For me, alkalines last about 3 weeks and lithiums last about 5 weeks. I would not recommend the lithiums due to the much greater expense.
    I just, today actually, bought the Sanyo eneloop batteries and charger. It came with 8 AAs and 4 AAAs and seemed like a good deal. These are fairly well recommended but I'll reserve judgement until I try them myself.
    So did you buy the new Apple rechargeables? I bet they are pretty good too. Let us know.

  • Initial set up with wireless keyboard and mouse!!

    My gods, I set up a mac mini with wireless keyboard and mouse. It stead fastly refused to find the brand new apple wireless mouse. I had to plug a wacom in, in the end to get anywhere. Then it would not find the keyboard, again apple wireless. It did find the keyboard but when it started the pairing just came up with no keyboards were found.
    I struggled in the end and after around 10 minutes blagged the keyboard, I don't know how it just suddenly worked.
    Thinking about this I had the self same problem on a wireless keyboard and mouse for an iMac as well I installed for a friend, it took ages and ages for the computer to discover the two apple devices.
    Am I just unlucky or is there voodoo involved? Luckily I am a seasoned apple user so got there in the end, but if I were a switcher and the very first experience of my new mac was it could not find its own mouse, I would not be impressed.

    I've been using the Apple wireless mouse and keyboard with my Mac mini for about a year.
    I've noticed that whenever the batteries for the two devices are running very low, they may not be recognize by the mini. Other than that, they are fine.

  • Can no longer order an iMac with wireless KB and mouse?

    Hi,
    I just figure out that when someone try to order the iMac, the only keyboard choice is wired. I think this disapear at the same time the wireless mighty mouse arrived.
    Am I wrong?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I had this problem. The stores had them in a package with the wirelesss
    keyboard and mouse but they were not available on-line. I had to order on-line to get some upgrades but could not have the wireless package...Catch 22.
    So when I called in my order I complained that I could not effectively get what I wanted and without much pressure I was offered a discount if I bought the wireless keyboard and mouse as extra. They knocked off £50 sterling (I'm in the UK) from the total cost. So, for about £40 more (which was the extra cost of the wireless pack in the store) I got what I wanted. With the added bonus of having a spare wired mouse and keyboard which are currently still all wrapped up in their box.
    I only placed my order on the 17th and receieved it last Friday so it should be a current deal. I hope it is not too late to help you out.
    Cheers.
    Chris

  • Mac wireless keyboard and mouse question

    I have a Mac wireless keyboard and mouse.  Can they be used with any computer other than an Apple product?              

    Yes.   Equally, you can use any other mouse with an Apple computer.  Having said that, there may be the odd exception but it would be an exception.

  • Can't use Filevault 2 with Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

    Am I the only one who can't get File Vault 2 to work with a wireless keyboard and mouse? It seems that the "Recovery Partition" of Lion which you have to log into in order to enable File Vault 2 doesn't support BlueTooth devices so it's impossible to log in and start the encryption process. And after using a USB keyboard to do the encryption, I now can't log onto the encrypted disk for the same reason.
    I can't believe that nobody else has noticed this, so what am I doing wrong?
    Thanks

    I have exactly the same problem; I have an original Apple Wireless keyboard (the older, full-size white and clear plastic keyboard), and a Logitech MX-Revolution mouse, both work just fine using the recovery partition, but don't respond at all for the FileVault login prompt.
    The mouse just doesn't do anything, and if others are getting USB devices to work then my mouse should work since it has its own wireless receiver, masquerading as a USB device, but it's just frozen in place. Meanwhile my keyboard appears to connect normally, but the login screen is completely unresponsive, pressing caps-lock doesn't cause the caps-lock button to light up, even though I know the keyboard works just fine.
    Considering the push for more wireless by default it seems odd that this problem exists, especially when my devices all work perfectly fine for selecting start-up disk, starting up from CD and so-on. Does anyone have a more concrete fix for this? FileVault 2 was one of the features I was really looking forward to but I can't even properly enable it, I'm just fortunate that Lion at least stops the process if you don't log-in successfully the first time.
    As a side note; is the same pre-boot login required if you enable FileVault encryption on a non start-up volume? If not, at what point does the volume become available? I'm hoping to separate my OS and user folders onto my SSD and regular HDs respectively, but if I enable FileVault for my HDs only, will I still need the pre-boot login?

  • Linksys Wireless Router Conflicting with Wireless Keyboard and Mouse?

    I am getting ready to purchase a Linksys Wireless-N Router with a PCI Wireless-N Adapter (2). Will I have a conflit with my Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse? I have two home computers that I want to set up with a wireless router. Should I use a Linksys Wireless-N Home Router or a Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router? Which Wireless-N PCI Adapters should I use?

    No you should not have a problem with the router conflicting with the wireless keyboard/mouse.  They are on a different frequency all together from the wireless router.

  • I have 2 iMacs in my home, both with wireless keyboards and mouses.

    I have a problem where one mouse/keyboard will connect to the other and vise versa. is there any way to lock the keyboard and mouse on one computer?

    Try renaming one of the keyboards. If that doesn't work then you need to set up separate passcodes for each one. You do this in the BT preferences.

  • IBM Wireless keyboard and mouse question

    Hi, does anyone know whether the wireless IBM keyboards work with the G4s? simply plugging in the wireless transceiver/receiver and the mouse works no problem, but they keyboard is dead. Attempts to have the mac recognize the keyboard signal do not work. Any ideas?

    What is the exact model number(s) for the keyboard/mouse?

  • What's going on with my wireless keyboard and mouse power status?

    My iMac (Nov. 2009) came with the wireless keyboard and mouse. When the original batteries wore out, I started using rechargeable batteries and that has worked fine. This is Energizer recharger, not Apple's. I've used and recharged them for well over a year now. When my batteries are freshly recharged, my iMac tells me I have something like 75% charge.
    Earlier this week I'm being told that the batteries have 100% charge. They've never been 100% charged, even when they were new. I haven't charged the batteries for several weeks either when suddenly I supposedly have 100% charge.
    What's going on?

    This is a change that occurred with the 10.6.7 update. Everyone suddenly has 100% charge when other tools report less. Either it's a bug or they adjusted the scale by which it's measured. Some users report that the percentage starts to decrease after the battery is more depleted.
    There's a widget you can use in dashboard in the mean time. Located here:

    We'll wait and see if this is a bug or intentional.

  • HT1752 I need to transfer files from an 'original' iMac to a brand new one. The old Mac has no keyboard or mouse. Could it support a current wireless keyboard and mouse?

    I need to transfer files from an 'original' iMac to a brand new one. The old Mac has no keyboard or mouse. Could it support a current wireless keyboard and mouse?

    Assuming that "original" means a G3/CRT iMac, not wireless. The G3 iMacs didn't have Bluetooth. The good news, though, is that any standard USB keyboard and mouse will work with them, even the ones designed for Windows that you can pick up for ten bucks or so.

  • Is there available for iMac OS X version 10.4.11 700 MHz Power PC G4 a wireless keyboard and mouse combo?

    Is there a wireless keyboard and mouse combo anywhere available for iMac OS X version 10.4.11 700 MHz Power PC?

    All the keyboards I'm finding require built-in Bluetooth, something G3 iMacs don't have. So you'd need to start with a Bluetooth USB adaptor like this:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/IOGear/GBU321/
    Its specs says it works with Mac OS 10.3.9 or newer. The you should ba able to add a wireless board and/or mouse IF you find one that has support for a Mac OS level older than 10.5 or an Intel processor. Most current boards require 10.5.8, and Intel processor, or both.
    The cost for all this could easily be 4-5X the used market value of a G3 iMac so please think this through carefully. A long USB extension cable might be a better option fo such an old computer.

  • Wireless keyboard and mouse with emac

    Hi,
    Does anyone know whether the new wireless keyboard and mouse will work with eMac without built in bluetooth, and USB 1.0?
    Should I use a USB 2.0 dongle or a USB 1.0 dongle.
    Any help would be very appreciated.
    thanks

    That is how I use my macbook. When I start up in the moring, I turn the mouse, keyboard and monitor on first, I then hit the power button on the macbook and immediately close the lid. The macbook will then boot up on the external display. Just in case you allow the macbook to go to sleep, you need to go to allow bluetooth devices to wake the computer. You set this in the bluetooth system prefs.

  • Will the new Apple wireless keyboard and mouse work with my Macbook Pro?

    Looking at purchasing a wireless keyboard and mouse for my Macbook Pro. Figured the one made by apple will work, but not sure... Any suggestions on a good wireless keyboard and mouse, or knowledge on whether Apples will work or not?

    keyboard: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/MC184LLANB/
    magic mouse: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/MB829LLABB/
    I just got them last week and the keyboard is new and the mouse is used but looks brand new.  And you get a free pair of AA bateries with the mouse.  And you can get 2AA batteries for the keyboard for an extra $1.29 I highly recommend going this route as I did very recently and am very pleased.

  • Can the iPad work with a wireless keyboard and mouse?

    Would like to know if the new iPad will work with a wireless keyboard and mouse!

    There are quite a few threads requesting this facility, so I thought I would choose this recently active (at the time of writing) post to reply to, in the hope some thinking appleite with influence stumbles upon it.
    I totally get Apples philosophy of not polluting their interface design concepts with the introduction of a clunky so-last-year cursor; I actually agree.  What I can't understand so much is that there are a number of apps that could benefit from mouse support. The one I need is RDP.  This class of apps allow us to connect to servers running other operating systems using the IPad; why not authorise CERTAIN APPS to access the Bluetooth mouse stack, and let us have joy.  It doesn't affect the iPad experience in the slightest, at least not to it's detriment.
    The new retina screen is such that I actually prefer the experience of using my iPad to connect to the server than my laptop!, but given I develop software, there is no way my stubby finger can compete the clinical accuracy of a mouse when using intricate interfaces such as MSDE.  With just that one addition, I would practically move into the post pc era you tout so much, at least in my interfacing With the post pc pc,s :).
    Thanks
