USB mouse not recognized in windows 8.1 - tried all no help

Hi,
I am having this issue for 2 weeks now. Plugging the muse to USB port didn't make any difference to system, it hasn't been seen at all (noting in dev manager, no beep etc). I was connecting same mouse using PS/2 adapter and worked well.
After doing UEFI bios update and installing latest drivers for motherboard mouse is shown in device manager as "Not Recognized" Code 43. I did try to use different USB mouse, same story, playing with drivers, deleting/uninstalling in Device Manager
didn't make any change. Deleted all USB devices/Hubs used generic drivers suggested by windows didn't change anything as well. Windows Troubleshooter see problem - but don't give options to fix it. System is up to date with windows updates, no new software
was installed. Changed as well Power settings regards to USB ports but no help
A lot of people suggest to go to UEFI Bios and changing USB settings of xHCI to disabled/enabled/auto - well none of this worked for me.
Anyone has any other clue which is worth to try?
Seen somewhere that locating USB port VID/PID (from dev manager) then Find it in Registry and edit "Power Settings" fix problem for some - can see VID/PID for this mouse in registry - but no editable settings there.
Thank you in advance
Marcin

Hello Marcin,
Can you use other devices normally like USB keyboard and USB driver?
If you can, please contact the manufacturer and check if there are hardware issues.
About the error code 43 in device manager, please take a look at the following KB.

One of the drivers controlling the device notified the operating system that the device failed in some manner.
If you have already run the Troubleshooting Wizard, you might want to check the hardware documentation for more information about diagnosing the problem.
When you try the Windows troubleshooter, what problem do you see?

External keyboard and mouse not recognized after waking from sleep

This started happening all of a sudden. It was working fine before that. When I disconnect the power cable, keyboard, and then connect them back, its not recognized. To make it recognize the keyboard and mouse, I have to logout and login or restart the laptop. I looked at this related post, but the PRAM reset fix did not work for me : http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=870482
Any idea how to fix it?
OS version: 10.9.2
MacBook Pro 13-inch Mid 2012
Processor 2.9 GHz Intrel Core i7
Memory 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3

I have a similar problem on our G3 iBook with Panther. Most of the keys don't work, and of the four or five that do, they print only gibberish.
For a while I had control of the "C" key, and I was able to start from the Installation CD-ROM. I ran Disk Utility. It found and repaired a whole bunch of permissions and reported no problem with the hard disk. But I still cannot use the keys, and since then I've lost the use of the "C" also.
Because I cannot use the keyboard, I cannot type in my administrator's password, and for that reason I cannot use System Preferences to start from the Installation CD-ROM. I did not see the Hardware Test on the CD-ROM, but it sounds interesting.
Any ideas on how to get back to the CD-ROM when my keyboard doesn't work?

Other mouse besides Bluetooth Magic Mouse not recognized?

I am fairly new to the forum, so I am sorry if this is in the wrong section...
I bought my computer last summer, and it came with the Magic Mouse and wireless keyboard, both, as all of you probably know, bluetooth. Nothing is wrong with these things. In fact, I much prefer them over other mice and keyboards. The problem is the left and right click buttons. I understand that I can go into System Preferences and get the Magic Mouse to have both the Left and Right clickers, which I have done. I didn't really enjoy the feel of it, as I prefer feeling both of the buttons over just one large one. So, I decided to hook up my wireless Microsoft mouse with a small USB connection. When I disabled my Magic Mouse and connected the Microsoft mouse, nothing happened. I wasn't able to use the Microsoft mouse, which works fine on any other non-Apple computer that I test it on.
Is there any way that I can go about fixing this problem and making it so that the Microsoft mouse is recognized by the computer?
Thanks,
~Elliot

Hello E:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I decided to hook up my wireless Microsoft mouse with a small USB connection.
Are you trying to do this with a USB "dongle?"
When I disabled my Magic Mouse
How did you do this? Did you delete the magic mouse in system preferences?
In any event, I have not seen anything like what you are describing. I am not criticizing non-Apple devices, but I am unable to suggest troubleshooting steps for non-Apple hardware as I have no experience with them.

5 button mouse not recognized

I am using a Dynex DX-WMSE mouse. In 10.4.11 the mouse was automatically recognized and I could configure all 5 buttons. Now the mouse is recognized but I can't configure any of the buttons (only l and r). I would like to customize this mouse as much as possible. Any ideas? Thanks

The mouse preference pane does not control all of the buttons of the mouse. Apparently apple went and hid the rest of the mouse functions in the Expose/Spaces pane.
If you click there and find the drag down menu you can customize each of the additional mouse buttons that you have.
Yay for me finding the answer!

IBM Thinkpad T20 mouse not recognized

I cannot startx after running 'xf86config' due to the mouse (actually the little red trackpointer on the keyboard) not being recognized. I set it up as a PS/2 mouse and per the FAQ added the lines in /etc/devfsd.conf to establish the symlink. I've tried devices /dev/mouse and /dev/psaux to no avail. I do not have an XFConfig-4 file that would take precedence over the XF86Config file I edited.
What would be the suggestions for next steps to the X up and running? I'm thinking there was a module I didn't load, but offhand can't think of what it would be.
Thanks for any help on this!

I got it working tonight by attaching a PS/2 mouse to the PS/2 port, running HWD, and using the generated XF86Config file. With the PS/2 mouse attached, it worked fine. I'm not sure why attaching this made any difference, but glad it works.
Thank you everyone for your kind assistance with this issue!
cool, great you managed it finally ... can you please post the section "InputDevice" from your working XF86Config here? i wonder what "hwd" have created --- thanx in advance
if you have special keys on your Thinkpad (i dont know the T20, but a lot of TPs have special keys for volume, "home" ... ) and want to use them for something (e.g. you can run an xterm by pressing the "Thinkpad" button) on arch, you can try some packages i build for arch for TPs:
tpctl (thinkpad control)

Magic Mouse Not Recognized Not Recognized as Such

I just got a Magic Mouse for my Mac Pro (2.8GHz 8-processor, late-2008), running 10.5.8. It connects through Bluetooth fine, but it doesn't seem to be recognized as a Magic Mouse. The "magic" features don't seem to be working. It only seems to do left- and right-clicks.
I also see that it doesn't seem to show up in the System Preferences Keyboard&Mouse panel, Bluetooth tab. No name or battery level is shown.
Yes, I did do a Software Update before and after pairing. Actually, come to think of it, that's not exactly true: Before pairing, I launched Software Update and found that it only had a Security Update pending (very unlikely to have anything to do with the mouse), so I did the pairing and then did the security update. After rebooting from that, I launched Software Update, and it said that I am up-to-date.
The book and the Magic-Mouse box say that 10.5.8 is a sufficiently high OSX version.
Any ideas on this? Thanks, everybody!

ok my mistake, i DID have USBOverdrive on my computer.
So here's the exact way to solve the problem:
(1) just re-download and re-install USBOverdrive (www.usboverdrive.com)
(2) restart when prompted
(3) go to the usboverdrive system preferences panel and UNINSTALL IT
(4) restart whether or not prompted
(this SHOULD fix the problem at this point, if not, see further below)
(5) open the bluetooth preferences (or access from the menu) and add a new bluetooth device
(6) pair your trackpad
(7) it is probably working now; but go to the trackpad preferences pane to be sure that you're seeing the new magic trackpad preferences rather than the old macbook pro preferencdes
IF THIS DID NOT WORK:
(8) you need to find ALL references for any file containing "usboverdrive" in the name. possible places to look include:
Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences
Macintosh HD/System/Library/Extensions
Macintosh HD/Users/YOURNAME/Library/Preferences
(9) DELETE ANY AND ALL FILES CONTANING "USBOVERDRIVE"
(10) restart your computer. Everything should be working now
Good luck!

Usb Kensington mouse not recognized in Yosemite 10.10

I have a simple Kensington USB mouse that I sometimes use on my MacBook Pro. But when I plugged it in the first time to my mac with 10.10 installed, I got a keyboard set-up prompt, asking me to hold down some buttons to calibrate it. So I rebooted the mac, with the mouse plugged in and now nothing at all happens when I plug in the mouse.
The mouse does not appear to get any power from the mac either, the red light underneath does not appear. The mouse does still work
I've tried both USB ports on this computer. It has worked fine before upgrading to 10.10 without any software installed.

Magic Mouse not recognized in parts of Mail

When using Magic Mouse and Mail, if you follow a link out of Mail, then return, you can not activate Mail unless you click on the top pane only, any fix for this?

Try quitting and relaunching Mail.
Also, try a simple normal reboot.

Bluetooth stalling and mouse not recognized

My Logitech v470 was connecting and disconnecting with no glitches.
Now, it seems after the last OS X 10.5 security update everything with Bluetooth has gone downhill.
Now it no longer sees the mouse, and when I do try to find it using the Bluetooth utility from the menu bar, system prefs, or anywhere, that utility freezes, and I have to force quit it. I even have to restart my machine, which just just stays hung up indefinitely.
It seems this is a fairly common problem. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Have you tried reading the many other posts on this forum that talk about this issue? It seems that by default the services are not enabled for some peripheral devices. Try right-clicking the bluetooth icon, selecting "show my bluetooth devices" (or similar i dont ahve it in front of me), then right click the keyboard/mouse, go to the Services tab and make sure the services are enabled.

Qemu KVM mouse not smooth like in Virtualbox

When using a guest OS in KVM (any guest) the mouse is a bit jerky, like it's delayed by a few microseconds. In Virtualbox you can fix this by installing the Virtualbox guest software. Is something similar possible for KVM to get a smooth mouse, or do I need a certain setting/driver?

Thanks for the tip, never heard of that one. I can also use Virtualbox i know, but I would like to give KVM a new try (since 5 years or so) because it's integrated in the kernel and potentially of better quality

Magic Mouse not recognizing on MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.2

I've tried everything I know how to do and now I'm asking for help. I just purchased the Magic Mouse yesterday and successfully paired it to my MacBook Pro. Left click and Right click both work fine, but I can't scroll or use any gestures with it. I searched the support forum and saw the need to download the Wireless Mouse 1.0 for Snow Leopard, which I did but nothing changed - still have the same preference screen as before. I'm running Snow Leopard and have all the latest software updates. I tried downloading the app "MagicPrefs" listed on the website, but the console shows that it keeps crashing. At this point, I'd be happy to get the expected Mouse Prefpane as shown in the documentation. All I get is the normal USB mouse settings - nothing else.

Hello w:
Try trashing a preference file and restarting (com.apple.bluetooth.plist).

I have a new W520 and have set up my Bluetooth, which is opertaing as it should. However, i tried to add a Microsoft 5000 bluetooth mouse, and my W520 cannot add it as a device. I have addded the same mouse to my older Thinkpad. Any suggestions?

Not recognizing wireless keyboard/trackpad/mouse

Just installed windows 7 on new 2012 imac. loaded the support software. still not recognizing the mac's wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse. what should I try??

hi
the N70 mouse has a USB dongle to connect to
Spoiler (Highlight to read)
You may be able to connect the mouse but the Keyboard should be a pair SK8861
The SK8861 mouse and keyboard should be a pair because the USB dongle for both is in the SK8861 mouse.
Im not sure If you can pair the SK8861 keyboard with the n70 USB dongle.
But here's how to pair the keyboard. you can try this out with the N70 usb dongle.
Make sure that the keyboard is very close to the dongle when pairing
1. Unplug the dongle from the computer
2. Remove the battery
3. Hold the F2 F3 and F4 keys on the keyboard all throughout the process
4. Use your left had put the battery in but do not put the keyboard battery cover yet.
5. Left hand still, plug in the USB dongle then right away put the keyboard battery cover
Light will blink but once it stopped you can now let go of the F2 F3 and F4 keys and try the keyboard out.
If this does not work You might need to conatct where you bought it and ask about the keyboard and mouse, that it should come in pair" sk8861 mouse and keyboard.
