Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse doesnt work with mac os x 10.4.5?

I just bought a Logitech® Cordless Optical Mouse in japan to use with my powerbook running os x 10.4.5...the mouse doesnt seem to work with the native bluetooth system. so I plugged in the supplied reciever and could get the mouse to move the cursor, but only that. buttons dont work. I down loaded some kind of device manager from the logitech web site but just as the apple bluetooth manager it does not "discover" the mouse.
I noticed that the system requirements for the logitech device manager is osx 10.3 - 10.4.2 so im wondering if my system is to new for this product.
all this i found out after i bought the mouse, and it is a little irritating...it said it was mac compatible on the box...
should I be waiting for an update from logitech or apple concerning this problem.
or is there an easy fix/ anyone else have this problem?
thanks

Hi, © !       — or do you prefer Ulfur?
What model?   "A Logitech® Cordless Optical Mouse" covers a lot of territory. For example, I have a CordlessOptical11 mouse that's several years old — and IrDA, not Bluetooth. This Logitech page contains a chart defining the name and "device model string" for each product, based on the M/N stamped into the bottom of your mouse. Better safe than sorry: Logitech's support — particularly for Mac folk — can be somewhat challenging. [1] 
From there, you might try to confirm that you have the correct driver from Logitech's Support »» Downloads »» Mice page —
                     — but, Oops! — unfortunately, it may only link to Windows-compatible drivers.
Logitech has used their own patented RF technology for years — and some of their "Bluetooth" products "may not" actually provide Bluetooth functionality in Macs. (OK, that was tongue-in-cheek: I really mean "do not.") The mice usually work, though.
AFAIK, Logitech Control Center 1.6.2 is their latest driver for USB mice. (They have other mouse drivers, too.)
However, as this page explains, their V270 Bluetooth mouse supposedly doesn't require a driver separate from what's provided by Apple.
You may want to search this forum for differing views on this. Also, go to this Logitech user forums page and click to select the Macintosh forum. I won't deny you the (dis-?)pleasure of reading about others' experiences...
[1]  Sorry, I don't mean to be as discouraging as I've probably made things sound. Most Mac folks have actually had pretty good experience with Logitech USB and Bluetooth mice — but Logitech Support's attitude toward Mac users could be improved. Please check things to confirm what's what — then post back, and I — or someone else who's using an MX900 or MX1000 or V270 or whatever Logitech mouse — will try to help further.
Looking forward to hearing back from you,
Sincerely,
Dean
[2]  The links I've provided all work within Logitech's US website (I just tested). If appropriate, you may want to start fresh from the Logitech home page and find comparable international pages.

  • USB Mouse not work with Mac OS 10.6

    I have a USB mouse can work with Mac OS 10.4 but cannot with Mac OS 10.6. Noticed the different is the USB mouse motion reporting is 12-bit instead of 8-bit. It can definitely work on Windows with standard USB HID driver. I wonder if the OS 10.6 is having a different USB HID driver specification which is not posted in USB-IF.

    Ask the Vendor.

  • Seagate 1.5TB doesnt work with mac

    hi, i have a seagate external hard drive 1.5 TB, i generally use it for my windows laptop. now i bought a mac and it doesnt work with my mac. Am i doing some thing wrong..?

    Are you planning on using the drive with Windows? If no, then use Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities to reformat the drive. Formatting erases contents on a drive. Copy the data to another source before formatting.
    Format the external drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - Partition Map Scheme: GUID
    Select Drive (top name) then click on Erase tab.
    Under Format select Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    This should format as GUID when erasing but sometimes you need to click on an Advanced tab and select GUID.
    If you do plan on using the drive with Windows machine, format on Windows machine as exFAT.

    The moment i decided to install the st*pid software bundle it has!!!!
    MOUSEWARE 9.41.1 (windows) for Microsoft Windows:
    XP, Me, 2000, 98, 95, NT 4.0
    this machine runs 2 processors (athlons MP)& Wxp PRO.
    I installed the software like i always do it ( put it into my cdrw and appeared the install screen) i was prompted to install the mouse software & music match too, i did it.
    My machine is as follows:

    I wanted to restart my system once and did it, but when it restarted a small st*pid window suddenly appeared telling me i have lost my profile just like this:
    "Windows cannot load your profile because it may be corrupted. Contact your administrator. "
    “Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off”

    I decided to use system restore…..it functioned. I have everything back  )  )  )  )  )  )
    I think Wxp pro, 2 processors & mouseware from Logitech are not good combination!
    Logitech: I won’t buy anything from them again, the box the mouse came in has a legend telling you: over 10 million Cordless mice Sold!! (Yeah, that´s right for uni processor machines, maybe)
    I ´m still learning things about my dual processor machines: they do not like everything that is designed for uniprocessor machines!!!
    A dual processor machine is something fast, more than one processor has to be better in many aspects. But again, not everything is designed for a dual processor machine.
    Does anyone know how to back up your profile in  Wxp pro????
    Any comments are welcomed!!!

    Before Installing CD drivers you should always check to see if later drivers are available.  The 9.6x drivers have been out for ages so go and try them.

  • HELP! - New mouse that works with Mac

    Hi guys and girls
    I hoped that there was someone out there, who could help me! I've just ordered my first Mac ever - long time fan thou', but i work alot in front of a screen, so comfort is everything to me when choosing a mouse!
    The problem:
    The problem is that design and sleekness also is important to me, i don't want a mouse, where i have to have some ugly as hell usb-receiver sticking out of the side of my laptop, so i want a mouse that can work with the build-in wi-fi in the macbooks. But its hard to figur out, when all mice comes with a usb-reciver, but not all of them needs it.
    The bottom line:
    So can someone tell me what mouse to buy, if i want a good mouse:
    + where the comfort is top-noch
    + and where i dont need to plug in the usb-receiver
    How about these two - do they fit my needs?
    1) Logitech MX1000 Wireless Laser Mouse
    2) Logitech Performance Mouse MX™
    I hope that someone can help me out!
    All the best
    /Anders

    I don't know anyone selling new cards for this system, here's some on eBay.
    Check for compatibility with your specific system...

  • Can't get mouse to work with mac mini

    Yes, I replaced the batteries.
    Not sure what's going on. I booted the Mac Mini and the message I'm getting is "Searching for mice -0 found" then it will attempt to search again...nothing. I've attempted keyboard commands, but I'm unable to close out the window that asks me to connect to a network. Any guidance would be great. Thanks!

    First try and see if the mouse is working. Look in System Preferences > Bluetooth and see if the mouse shows as connected or not. If it does and you are still getting the message, select the mouse then click on Advanced and UNcheck "Open Bluetooth Setup Assistant at startup is no mouse or trackpad is detected."
    If the mouse is NOT connected then try creating a clean Bluetooth environment by disabling any and all Bluetooth emmiters whithin 30 or 40 feet such as iOS devices (iPhones, iPads, iPads); other Blutooth keyboards, mice, trackpads; other computers, etc.
    Sometimes cycling Blutooth of then on again can help (which is why I always keep a wired mouse and keyboard around). If the mouse was previously paired with the computer, and you have a wired mouse handy, in System Preferences > Bluetooth select the icon for the mouse then Control+Click and select "Remove" from the contextual menu then retry pairing.
    The good news is once you get past this glitch, the next time you reboot pairing should go transparently.

  • HP DesignJet 800 24" doesnt work with Mac OS 10.7 Lion

    Having just upgraded to Mac OS 10.7 Lion, my DesignJet 800 24" no longer shows up on the network. Every time i upgrade my Mac OS this happens, in the past i've had to install previous version drivers to get it to work as the current ones never do - as is the case with the current one for lion. But this time that's not working and it's not even visible on the network. The HP help pages (of the links that actually work) basically say it's up to Apple to provide an update to their OS to make it work - Not good enough, it's an HP product.
    If anyone can suggest any work arounds for this i'd be grateful as i don't have time to keep messing about with this.

    OK, i have been reliably informed by a third party that the 'Mac_OS_X_HP_Designjet_Raster_Driver.dmg' (available from HP's 'Support' section) for lion catagorically does not work. The only way to get this printer to work is to connect to it via another mac running OS 10.6 (snow leopard) using bonjour, whilst running the Driver for 10.4 on that mac, which was the only way to get it to work for the last upgrade.
    Since OS 10.4, HP have maintained the driver comes bundled with Mac OS and therfore didn't have one to download from the support site (until now - which, did i mention? - doesnt work!), but this is not the case (the PS version does), but not the standard version.
    Come on HP sort it out.

  • Re: Logitech Travel Bluetooth mouse stopped working with my Satellite A300/

    Whilst happily using my Logitech Travel Bluetooth mouse, suddenly it stopped working, thinking it was a mouse problem, I first put a new battery in, but still not working. Had a look in the Bluetooth settings and it was still showing in there, at this point the computer was still in warranty. Later I tried to connect my mobile and that worked ok, so I was now convinced that it was the mouse. Rang the shop where I bought it, tough luck mate, we are not interested in helping you...thanks!
    Some time later I got a chance to try the mouse on another computer, hey presto it worked fine....yippee maybe it will now work on mine...no such luck. So now I am thinking that there must be a problem with my laptop...and of course the warranty is now run out!
    I have now deleted the Laser mouse in the Bluetooth settings, thinking being that maybe a new search and install could solve the issue, but now whilst it sees my phone it cannot connect to it and it does not even see the Laser mouse at all.
    The driver version it is using is 5.0.2518 which is probably what came with the computer. As far as I know I have never updated it.
    This all seems strange to me that one moment it is working and the next it is not...anyway is it worth trying to update the driver software> or am I barking up the wrong tree.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    JD

    Thanks for your reply hammer.
    I have now installed the latest bluetooth drivers, the only thing that has happened is that it can now connect to my mobile phone. the mouse is still a no goer.
    All the drivers seem to be there and I took a note of the versions prior to the update, they have all been updated ok, there are no crosses against any item in the Device Manager.
    Hmm hardware issue could be a bit difficult. But as it is now out of warranty maybe I will need to take it apart myself and see if I can find out the problem.
    Must say that I am slightly disapointed to have this happen....I bought Toshiba cos from all accounts it is supposed to be the best out there, but next time I think it may be a different brand.
    cheers.

  • Logitech LX700 keyboard/mouse:  NOT compatible with Mac?

    Just purchased a new iBook G4 for my daughter. I'm looking for an external keyboard/mouse (yes, I looked at the Apple) and like the features of the Logitech LX700, but it lists only Windows for compatibility and the software only is for Windows. Oddly, the next step down in the LX series is the LX500 which appears to be the same as the LX700 but without the rechargeable mouse.
    Anyone use the LX700 on a Mac?

    I use the LX700 mouse with my ibook and it works great, mine is not rechargable though, so I guess it is the LX500. You can download software from the Logitech web site.
    The only reason I think it states it is not compatible is that the keyboard was designed for a PC, so it was the windows button, not eh command button. but besides that I am sure that it is fully compatible. And you can probably program that button to do what the command button does.

  • Firefox and internet explorer doesnt work with mac os 10.4.7

    i can't seem to get firefox and Internet explorer to work on my g4 da mac with os 10.4.7. any suggestions...

    Did they ever work for you?
    Did you recently install some new software or make a hardware change to your machine?
    The first rule of thumb with misbehaving applications is to erase the Application's preferences and then try it again, but that might be somewhat dangerous considering that you could accidentally erase all of your bookmarks/favorites in the process.
    I'm running Mac OS 10.4.7 and I can get FireFox 1.07, 1.5, and 2.0, plus IE 5.2.3 to run, in addition to other browsers like Safari 2, OmniWeb 5.5, Netscape 7.2, and Opera 8.5 and 9.

  • Magic mouse doesnt work with new macbook air

    Hey guys,
    Just bought the magic mouse and it pairs just fine to my new 13" macbook air. But it only moves around and clicks and nothing else. Does not scroll or do any multitouch functions. I have checked all software is up to date and all settings are correct.
    Thanks in advance.

    I was having the same issues as Cawlin and called up AppleCare. They suggested resetting the PRAM, and then a SMC reset. That didn't work, so they had me do a re-install of the OS and system updates. None of that worked, and then it suddenly occurred to me that I had installed USB Overdrive a little while back and turns out that it was the culprit. A quick uninstall and everything's back to normal. The mouse preference panel is now displaying the correct options for the magic mouse. So if you have any 3rd party software for a mouse or keyboard installed, I would suggest uninstalling or disabling it and see if that does the trick.

  • Logitech cordless bluetooth headphones not working with zen to

    Anyone else have problems with these only coming through one speaker. Or if there was something I needed to do to fix this.

    I don't have any other bluetooth devices. I wish I did that would solve the mystery on if it's the headphones. Update I just messed with the headphone adapter and I hear it in one ear then the other ear only when it's securly in there. If I have it out a little in the middle it catches both speakers sometimes. You think that is the headphones that are defecti've or my second plug in the touch. The reoson I say the second plugin spot is that it works great with simple headphone plugged in.

  • I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

    I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro, the only thing plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

    Well
    I tried all of the suggestions, sort of. I did not have alcohol wipes, but I did take alcohol and pour some ona white paper towel and then rolled the mouse touch ball aroound and that finally cleared up the problem.  Just inverting it on paper did not do the reick, it needed some help with the alcohol.  Of course the probelm is the debris that gets inside and it really needs to come out.
    This is a huge problem for RIM devices users too.

  • Does Mighty Mouse only work with desktop Macs??

    I just bought an Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse, assuming it'd work with my new Leopard OS X Macbook. I followed the instructions on the Mighty Mouse booklet...but no installation start-up window ever appeared. I'm a beginner with Apple, so I figure I've done something wrong....does the Mighty Mouse only work with desktop Macs and not MacBooks?
    Please help if you can.

    Ah! sorry, my mistake! "wireless" was the key word. And yes, prior to my new mighty mouse, I also used the wireless one. And you need to do the following:
    1) Turn bluetooth ON (either from finder icon (you can have it placed on your finder bar by tick box in sytem preferences/bluetooth.
    2) Then, you need to "pair" your mouse via bluetooth setup assistant.
    3) once "paired" off you go.
