Keynote and Microsoft Wireless Presenter Mouse 8000

Hey folks,
i seached on this in the forum, but actually did not find any hints about my problem.
So I switched from PowerPoint to Keynote some weeks ago and got to do my first big presentation with Keynote in some days. I am amazed by the possibilities Keynote offers.
Still, I am stuck with a problem:
I am using the Microsoft Wireless Presenter Mouse 8000 with its original MS drivers. I am just amazed by that piece of hardware. For those who dont know it: Its a Laptop Mouse which you can flip. On the downside, you've got presenter controls like Forward/Back/Play/Louder and a laser pointer button. You can easily switch between mouse mode and presenter mode, so you dont hit mouse buttons accidentially when presenting and vice versa.
With PowerPoint, it just works as it should. With Keynote, it doesn't work. The only thing that works it to change the volume and the play/pause button. Anyway, Keynote does not react to it.
Somebody encountered that problem before?
Thanks
Thorben

I'm running into that problem right now. I really like the mouse, but I've got to get it working with Keynote, else, I'll have to return the product.
I've tried using Steermouse, but it doesn't seem to be able to remap those those "Presenter" keys. The analysis is able to read the button presses, but the driver isn't able to remap.
If anyone knows of a workaround, please let me know! I'll try Applescript and some other things, but I'm about to give it up and just get a separate presentation tool.
Thanks in advance.

Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 and Leopard/Mac

I wasn't able to get my Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 working under 10.4 but am trying again with Leopard - so far fruitlessly. With the latest version of Intellipoint for Mac (6.2.2) installed, my bluetooth seteup assistant will find the mouse when it's in pairing mode - but when it attempts to pair using an empty passkey it always fails.
Help please!

I just got this mouse and DID successfully PAIR it with my Macbook.
I did these steps.
1. Install Intellipoint 6.2.2
2. Connect it using the supplied dongle. It should work fine.
3. After you have tested it with that, remove the dongle and go to set up bluetooth device from the Bluetooth menu option (enable this in system preferences).
4. On the setup choose Mouse (not Any Device like I saw in some other posts)
5. Click Continue and while it is searching, press and HOLD the pairing button on the mouse. The battery display should be solid green while you are doing this (not green and red). After a few seconds, the display should say "Microsoft Wireless Laser 8000" mouse is found.
6. Click Continue, and it will attempt to connect and pair. Again, press and HOLD the pairing button on the mouse while it is doing this. If successful, it should then show up as paired in the bluetooth pref pane (see image below).

Syncing Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000

I was wondering if the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 could be synced to the Mac with Apple's bluetooth technology. Microsoft has provided a USB bluetooth device, but I was wondering if I could use the Bluetooth Setup Assistant to set up this particular device. Everytime I try, it says "Device not found." I have installed the Microsoft IntelliPoint software that came with the mouse.

You're really asking in the wrong place: iSync is a Mac OS X application used to synchronize contact, event and task information with selected mobile handsets, smartphones and Palm handheld organizers.
Instead, you should post a query in the Bluetooth forum, here.

Pair mouse ... Microsoft Wireless laser Mouse 8000

I , i have a Macbook pro 2011 and i upgrade the osx to yosemite 10.10 ... after that i can not connect my Microsoft Wireless laser Mouse 8000 ... any help ??
Thanks

Have your tried this before
By Alvaro Becerra
Hi, I tried all the tricks listed here with no luck, but I think I've finally found the solution.
Try using "any device" option, then, when the assistant tries to pair with the device, there's a button called "passkey options", click it and then select the option "Don't use a passkey".
The mouse will pair successfully. Mine is working great on my iMac.

Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 cannot be paired on Leopard

Hi,
I could connect my Microsoft WLM 8000 on Leopard but I could not pair it. Everything is working fine, including buttons configuration, except when I have to restart my computer... my BT connection brakes and the mouse stops working. Note: I am not using BT receptor that comes with the mouse.
I have tried to set up bluetooth device using all types of passkey configuration (available on any device option) and did not get success on it - always I receive an error message.
Could someone help me on this matter?
Thanks

I've found a band-aid...
1. Go to system preferences then bluetooth;
2. Click on advanced button;
3. Deselect the first option to avoid BT assistant at start-up;
You will need to click 3-4 times until your mouse becomes stable.
I hope somebody finds out a definitive solution.

Using Microsoft Notebook presenter mouse 8000 to control a Flash presentation

Hi,
I am building a Flash presentation and would like to control it by using the "next"and "previous" keys on my mouse... I know that it should be something like "on (release) ...", but I am not sure....
Any tips on how to create this in action Script 2.0 ?
Thanks in advance for your help !

"how to" question for wireless keyboard and/or wireless Mighty Mouse

I just purchased a wireless keyboard and a wireless Mighty Mouse (yesterday)
and notice I cannot use the calculator 'widget' in my Dock
1. the number keys on the new keyboard do not activate the corresponding numbers on the widget
and
2. the mouse does not activate the widget numbers when I click on them, either
does anyone know if the calculator can work with these 2 new accessories?
(if not, is there another, similar, calculator I can use now..?)
thank you for your time

Hello d:
The calculator works just fine with my Apple BT devices. I doubt if the problem is with the devices.
Try deleting the calculator widget from the dashboard (when dashboard is open). Then add it back.

Microsoft Wireless Presenter 8000 mouse and Toshiba Bluetooth Stack

Some of the specific functionalities of this MS Bluetooth Mouse do not work with the latest Toshiba Bluetooth Stack : magnifier, digital ink...
The other functions of this mouse (and the remote controller functions too) work perfectly. The magnifier, digital ink, etc..., are working only if the MS USB controller provided with this bluetooth mouse is plugged in.
Many hardware sites and forums are talking about this problem, ie at the end of this page : http://www.hardware-pacers.com/pages.php?catType=r&pid=352&id=968&pageX=on
Is there a chance to have these functions (magnifier, digital ink...) working with a future release of the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack ? Any idea of a delay ? Or any idea of a tip to have this working today ?

Of course : I have installed the latest version of IntelliPoint software. A mouse/remote as sophisticated as the Wireless Presenter 8000 can't work without its software.
But one more time, I speak about a Bluetooth MS Mouse, and what I don't understand is that a few funtionnalities (magnifier, digital ink) only works with the MS USB plug delivered with the mouse.
What I'd like is to use ALL the functionnalities of my bluetooth mouse with only the bluetooth adapter integrated into my Toshiba Libretto U100.

Microsoft wireless mobile mouse 4000 issue

My wife has a 4-year old MacBook Pro running 10.6 (can't get her to change...). We recently had to replace her MS Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000--we've both used these for years. We're having an issue with hers...the left button won't go "back" in Safari (or any other program for that matter) and I've tried everything, including assigning the proper keystroke to the button, etc. When I look at her Microsoft Mouse preference panel, it does not show the correct mouse, having an extra button. I've downloaded the latest version of their intellimouse software and it doesn't matter. When I try to get mouse info from the preference panel it tells me it can't see a mouse connected. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

" When I try to get mouse info from the preference panel it tells me it can't see a mouse connected. "
Did you replace the USB receiver as well? The receiver needs to be paired with the new mouse.

Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse dead

I got what a Microsoft Notebook Wireless Optical Mouse back in May I think it was, worked great and loved it until yesterday, now it is unresponsive. I've "reset" it. Tried it on several different machines including Windows XP, all the same results, simply no response. System profiler recognizes the receiver is there. I guess it just died, too soon for that, bummed. Any ideas? I'm going to beat on it and possible freeze it for fun since I have nothing to loose.

My problem is kinda similar. After a pretty severe problem with the Mac the other day (and doing an Archive and Install of OSX 10.4) I have found my MS Wireless Optical Mouse 2.0 is not working properly. Basically I cannot designate the buttons to do what I want them to do. I have tried the MS software (Intellipoint 5.1) and USB Overdrive (10.4) both of which I have used successfully in the past. However, with USB O/D installed every button becomes a control + click. With the MS software it just ignores my preferences.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get round this, it is very frustrating not having the buttons do what I am used to them doing.

Keynote and Microsoft PowerPoint

I recently started using Keynote and I've come to like it a lot. However their are still many things that are different. When writing with Microsoft PowerPoint I usually used the right click synonymous word feature. I have not yet found that feature for Keynote. Does anyone know if it has it?

Thank you Kyn Drake. Hopefully, in the next Keynote they make it more flexible. As is, not having to do the drag and opening dictionary but have it right their were your writing.

Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000

I unwrapped a new MS Wireless Laser Mouse 5000. It appears to have a plastic wrap on the top. Like the cling wrap on some electronic items. It doesn't seem to want to come off. The sides are the same texture as other MS mice. Anyone else seen this plastic cover and tried to remove it? I don't want to damage the surface.
Thanks,
- Craig

Found out that it has a slick finish.

Any difference between new and old wireless Mighty Mouse?

Hello,
I got an "old" wireless Mighty Mouse (the one with the grey side buttons) from my father. Now I am wondering if there is any difference between this mouse and the new one, besides the color change of the side buttons. I checked my mouse against the tech specs on the Apple Mighty Mouse site, and they seem to be absolutely identical, but still, I would like to hear this from an expert, which I hope to find here . Also, does anyone know where to find the user’s guide for the wireless mouse online? I have been searching the whole Apple site, but found it nowhere.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hi,
This question is already discussed in sdn earlier.
The follwoing thread give u complete details abt new GL & old GL :

Windows Vista/ Boot Camp and Apple wireless keyboard/mouse

Could someone please outline the steps needed to make the apple wireless mouse and keyboard work with Windows Vista on the Mac. It was working fine before I installed the Mac drivers, but now nothing. Whats worse is my computer boots to windows automatically now so I can't use it at present!
All help very gratefully received.
Many thanks
Dominic

You cannot use a keyboard or any other peripheral with the tv, I'm afraid. Think of it more like a giant ipod than a little mini in that respect.
