Install disk 1 + wireless mighty mouse

when i re-boot using install disk 1 the process comes to a stop when it comes to the graphic showing how to put the batteries in and switch on the mighty mouse,there is just the spinning disk at the bottom of the screen.after alot of trial and error i discovered that plugging in a usb mouse makes the process carry on as normal.also i discovered that clicking repeatedly the mouse button
sometimes makes it carry on but not always.I usually have to revert to plugging in a usb mouse.I have tried the hardware test with "no trouble found" also the extended test is ok.The mouse works normally otherwise except maybe the tracking speed could be faster.I have it at max and i could do with another notch or two but thats another story.Also the range seems ok.it works normally up to 25 ft.Do you guys have the same behaviour as i do?

did not solve the problem with the install disk. But if you are referring to the speed of the mighty mouse i tried "steermouse" and that solves the speed issue. Lets hope apple solves this one in the next update

  • When reinstalling OS X with install disk, wireless mouse doesn't work

    I have an unusual problem: My iMAC G5 hard drive died and I installed a replacement disk. Now, I am trying to reinstall OS X 10.3 with the help of my original install CDs that came with the iMAC.
    Unfortunately, my wireless mighty mouse doesn't react anymore and I cannot proceed with the installation through keyboard commands alone. I get stuck at the first install window where the system asks for the operating system language.
    I am clueless how to proceed since I don't have access to any utilities to test or connect the mouse because OS X is not installed yet. I tested the mouse on another Mac and it works. Any clues? Thanks for your help.

    I solved my problem by using the original mouse

  • Wireless Mighty Mouse, no disk?

    Hello,
    Apple's store shows the contents to include a disk with the Wireless Mighty Mouse.
    I purchased one from Best Buy and there is no disk in the box.
    What gives?
    Thanks
    Frank

    Hello. I have one that I bought from Apple Store and I can confirm that there is no CD included. The mouse worked with Mac OS X out of the box. I think Mac OS X has the drivers already for it or available as a software update if you're using an older OS X. As for the utilities, again it's already available in System Preferences after it's paired.

  • Issues with Bluetooth/Wireless Mighty Mouse since Snow Leopard Install

    Hi,
    I am having issues with my bluetooth wireless mighty mouse. It was fine after initially having installed Snow Leopard. However, in the past week it has become progressively more and more unresponsive. It functions perfectly normal for the first while after startup, then after a short period of time it becomes slow to respond to the mouse movements that move the cursor. Eventually it gets to the point that moving the mouse results in no cursor movement whatsoever. It also becomes unresponsive to squeezing the side buttons. There are no issues with clicking or scrolling with the track ball.
    I have searched the discussion forums to find issues that pertain to "bluetooth" and "wireless mighty mouse" and have tried the following suggested remedies... Repairing my Mouse with my Mac mini. Renaming my mouse. Deleting the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file from Macintosh HD\Library\Preferences and restarting my Mac. Reset PRAM and NVRAM. Also tried to install Bluetooth Firmware update 2.0.1 but I get an indication that the update is not needed on my Mac mini. I have also checked for software updates but there are none...
    I am going to attempt resetting the SMC but am doubtful that this will help...
    Can anyone help... Please... ?
    Thanks,
    Des

    I had read in another forum where someone had an understanding that the bluetooth problem had something to do with Airport/Time Capsule. I had also read about how someone was having an issue with being unable to turn off airport. (I had this same problem.)
    Upon deleting a few airport related plist files (see below url) I was able to turn off/on airport AND my Mouse issue has no longer appeared... everything is working a-ok now.

  • I just purchased a used wireless Mighty Mouse. Do I need to have Blue Tooth installed on my machine to use it?

    Hey
    So I just purchased a used wireless Mighty Mouse at a Goodwill very inexpensively on the 50/50 chance it would work. Right out of the gate I figured I might need to have Blue Tooth installed on my machine to use it, is this the case?
    I have a Mac Pro Tower running 10.6.7, but I didn't opt for the Blue Tooth a few years ago when I purchased it. I knew I should've!
    Thanks.

    Well I purchased the Mac Pro in 2009 I believe. It could've been late 2008, but I can't quite remember. When I ordered it from the Apple store online I customized it. I had the amount of Ram I wanted put into it, and had two hard drives installed. While doing all of my customizations I could've opted to have the Blue Tooth card installed into the computer but for some reason I didn't see myself using it. I did get the generic wired mouse that came with the computer.

  • Wireless Mighty Mouse Disc

    I left my install disc in a hotel room in San Francisco.
    I can not find the drivers for the Wireless Mighty Mouse anywhere on Apple's site. Do I have to buy another mouse just to get the drivers? Why doesn't Apple have the option to download them?
    Am I missing something?

    Have you tried with the disc. Drivers for the wired Mighty Mouse are in Tiger 10.4.7. Maybe they will work with the wireless. If it doesn't work, and Apple won't send you a new disk, you could try SteeerMouse
    <http://plentycom.jp/en/steermouse/index.html>
    There is a free trial, and it costs a lot less than a new mouse. It might not work without the Apple drivers, but it won't cost anything to try it.

  • Wireless Keyboard + Wireless Mighty Mouse questions

    Hey everyone, Mac users please don't hate me for asking this but I have some questions about using the Apple wireless keyboard and wireless Mighty mouse on a windows XP PC (Not in boot camp).
    I have already bought the wireless keyboard, and have it working with my Windows PC using a Belkin bluetooth dongle, and was just wondering why the Control + Alt + Delete combo on the apple keyboard of (Control + option + Fn + Backspace) isn't working for me? I think it may be something to do with the keyboard being wireless, or possibly the Fn key will not work in Windows? I also would like to be able to remap some of the "F" keys on the wireless keyboard to windows functions like the volume and playback/ pause media keys. Is there any software anyone can reccomend which will allow me to do this?
    My second question is about the wireless mighty mouse. I haven't bought it yet, but I have strong intentions of doing so and using it with a Windows XP (to be updated to Win7 when it gets out of beta ~Sept) PC. I love apple hardware- peripherals especially, which is why I already bought the wireless keyboard and now wish to buy the Mighty mouse along with a 30" Apple display to use with the PC in my office at home. I have read mixed reports on many Mac forums about the compatability of the WMM with Windows, and have come here to get it cleared up before I spend close to £50 on a mouse that may or may not work. I heard somewhere that some but not all functions of the mouse would work in Windows, whereas somewhere else I read that a guy had installed a driver that was extracted from a (I think Leopard) Mac install disk and that the mouse was working 100% on his XP or Vista PC.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated guys, I built myself a special edition of one of my own design Eclipse series PC's to put in my new office at the start of this year and normal monitors/ peripherals just dont look right in that room because its very minimalist and modern and Apple make the most minimalist but functional hardware I know, which is why I want to use this KB/Mouse/Monitor combination.
    Thanks,
    Matt.

    I'm REALLY interested in how you got your Apple wireless keyboard to work on your XP PC. Was the keyboard recognized and working immediately? I've been reading thread after thread; still can't figure it out. Can you provide any help? Thanks.

  • Wireless keyboard and Wireless Mighty Mouse failure

    Hello,
    I have just bought an iMac 20" with a wireless keyboard and wireless mighty mouse.
    Both the keyboard and mouse will not work properly.
    I followed the installation/setup instructions and paired first the keyboard and then mouse. Then the problems started.
    1. Mighty Mouse tracking is dreadful and very slow (even after adjusting mouse properties)
    2. Keyboard started to drop connection and then when awoke started repeating keys (as if key stuck)
    3. Keyboard then disconnected and will not be recognised when searching for Bluetooth devices nor can I pair it again.
    4. When both were working the Airport extreme wireless network would be lost (but I think that this is a red-herring and irrelevant)
    Interesting once keyboard stopped working the wireless mouse tracking improved.
    The only software I have installed since taking the iMac out of the box are (in order)
    - Running/installing all Apple updates (including firmware 1.1)
    - Installing Firefox 2.0
    - Installing Adobe Reader 8.0
    - Installing Stuffit Reader 11.0
    - Installing Canon Bubble Jet Printer driver
    - Installing latest version of Skype
    If I use a USB mouse or keyboard they work ok.
    This is the second replace imac within 2 weeks. The first had the same problem.
    Can anybody help please as I'm new to Mac's after switching from a PC and I do not want to have to chuck either the keyboard or mouse or have the pain of Apple supplying me with a 3rd replacement iMac

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Congrats on the new Mac.
    Did you Repair Disk Permissions after the software updates and installs?
    Whether this solves this issue for you, it is something that you should always do. Go to Apps/Ut5ilities/Disk Utility and select your OS X HDD. Press Repair Permissions. Run Repair Permissions until no more repairs are reported.

  • Connect Wireless Mighty Mouse to windows xp pro sp2 on bootcamp

    I recently installed windows xp pro sp2 on bootcamp i tried to hook up my Wireless Mighty Mouse and I got basically nowhere. I was able to get the computer to recognize it and i typed in the passkey "0000" and it knows that it is a bluetooth device and I changed the settings of the bluetooth to "always" be discoverable and still I have hit a dead end. I can still not seem to connect the wireless mouse in any way. What do I do???

    I FUIGURED IT OUT!!! omg im so happy right now. For anyone who might be wondering I'll tell you how to make it work it you had the same problem. Once you establish the mouse a device, highlight it in the devices menu, then click properties, then services, and once it is done searching check the box for the driver and click apply and your mouse should work.

  • Does Time Machine Backup irritate wireless Mighty Mouse?

    Hi there. I'm having a strange issue here. With an iMac that came with bluetooth mouse and keyboard, OS out of the box (no software updates installed because there's no internet connection), each time Time Machine is backuping files, the Mighty Mouse is acting weird. It actually feels like someone else is working with it. Even if I do not use it and leave it alone, the pointer goes wild on the screen. Trying to work during Time Machine backups is impossible, because I cannot use the Mouse properly.
    Does anyone of you have a similar, if not, the same issue? Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,
    later, Stephan

    I am having a similar problem with my IMac and Time Machine. During wireless Time Machine backups, the wireless mighty mouse and wireless keyboard disconnect. If the mighty mouse remains connected, it moves very slowly and is virtually unusable.
    So far I've thought of two potential problems to troubleshoot:
    1. I experience this problem when I connect to the Time Machine through the "802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)" wireless connection (set in the AirPort Utility), but I don't experience the same problem when I connect to the Time Machine through a wired ethernet connection. So it appears the b/g compatible setting is causing interference. I haven't tested to see if the "802.11n only" wireless connections causes this problem or not.
    2. I also wonder if the IMac does not have enough RAM to complete the wireless backup. My IMac has 2gigs of RAM, and during backups it maxes out. I plan to upgrade to 4 gigs to see if the problem continues. (Stephan, how much RAM to you have installed?)
    peace,
    Marcus

  • Wireless Mighty Mouse unresponsive during Bluetooth connection to K800i

    Whenever I use Bluetooth to sync my Sony Ericsson K800i with my Mac, I notice that my Wireless Mighty Mouse sometimes becomes slow and unresponsive. I have to switch the mouse off and on again, after switching off Bluetooth on the phone, for the mouse to go back to normal.
    I am using a third-party plugin to provide iSync support for this phone, but I don't know if that would make a difference. I never had this issue with my K750i.
    Any suggestions would be very welcome!
    iMac Core 2 Duo 20"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The combo update rolls up all the patches Apple has released since 10.5 hit the shelves into one monster download; so you don't need to have installed 10.5.3 to install 10.5.4 - you can go from any version. Some users swear that applying the combo update makes for a more reliable Mac, and it fixed my Mac problem.
    But beware the combo is over 1/2 Gb in size and will take a good while to download, even on a DSL connection. You can find it on the Apple downloads page at:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/
    There are separate versions for the regular version of MacOS X and the more specialised server edition, so make sure you download the correct version (most people just need the file named Mac OS X 10.5.4 Combo Update).
    Once you've got the update, close any applications you are running (remembering to save your data), double-click the update to start and follow the instructions. You will have to restart your machine at the end of the installation and rebooting may take a little longer than normal - this only happens the first time you restart your machine. Hopefully you'll be back in business as soon as you see the login prompt.
    HTH.

  • Latest boot camp + wireless mighty mouse

    Hi,
    I was using boot camp 1.01, I just upgraded to the latest version of boot camp. Now, my wireless mighty mouse scroll doesn't work on the WinXP side. Does anyone know how to get it working again?
    In the bluetooth area in WinXP, it doesn't show the mouse, but the mouse works. I tried to add it but it doesn't find it.

    Not correct. I did the complete install with my bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The firmware has low level basic support for bluetooth and it recognized my keyboard and mouse immediately. Once have finished loading xp and installed the apple drivers, you will need a usb mouse. Once the apple bluetooth driver is loaded, you won't beable to pair your keyboard and mouse until you have gone to the bluetooth control panel in xp. All you need is the mouse to do the pairing. Just have it discovery your mouse and keyboard and select to pair without using the code authentication. The caveat to this is that your keyboard loses it pairing when you start up and you will need to turn if off then on to repair. It might loss the pairing later on if you do not use the keyboard for a while. Just turn it off and on again and it will re-pair.

  • Wireless Mighty Mouse on Windows PC (one last time). Any luck?

    Anyone with any luck trying to pair a wireless Mighty Mouse with a Windows PC?
    I'm trying to get the wireless Mighty Mouse to work on a PC (not a Mac with Boot Camp). I thought it should have been easy enough since I have other Bluetooth devices that work fine. I know that topic has been discussed before but I haven't come across anything definitive that shows a way to get it to work. Would someone please point me in the right direction. If not I'll be returning it for the wired Mighty Mouse.
    As it stands now my Bluetooth software recognizes the Mighty Mouse but it can't pair it. I'm pretty sure it's a Bluetooth software issue. Your thought? Thanks.

    I've installed 'Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba' to pair my bluetooth headset with XP to get music from iTunes. It's working great.
    I've just tried to pair the Mighthy Mouse with XP and it's working!!!

  • Wired vs wireless Mighty Mouse tracking

    Has anyone else found that the wireless Mighty Mouse has different tracking or acceleration compared to the wired version? It feels as if it has some acceleration applied that I can't dial out using USB Overdrive, or that it has a slight dead zone or something when making very slow or small movements.

    Yes I did install the software. I'm pretty sure I'm only using one finger. I can't see any perceptible difference between the way I'm using the wired and the wireless versions. Maybe the wired version is less sensitive. Also there is big difference in the weight of the two. The wireless is heavier (due to the batteries I imagine) and the wired seems downright feather light compared to it.
    But thanks for the feedback

  • Wireless Mighty Mouse Name Changes

    For the past 5 months, I've used the same wireless Mighty Mouse without issues. During that time it retained the name I gave it upon setting it up for the first time. Then this morning (3/15), I go on my Mac and see it is label as "[MyLastName]'s mouse" and then after a few moments "[MyFirstName]'s mouse." I tried to change the name back, but I don't have the rename option under the Bluetooth cogwheel, only update name is available. Any thoughts?
    This may seem trivial, but I always get concerned when something on my MBP changes suddenly. Thanks!

    HI
    Mine works...I had to have it manually recognize the bluetooth mouse and install it. Right click the bluetooth icon in the lower right bar on windows and then go thru the recognition and install. When I boot up into windows, takes about a minute after finishing booting for the mouse to be recognized, but it works OK then
