Logitech mouse causes shaking?

I have a Logitech® MX™1000 Laser Cordless Mouse. A few days ago, iTunes and Palm Desktop started shaking, as though there were an earthquake. I ran DiskWarrior and rebooted, but it did not help the problem. I tried using my Wacom tablet, but it had the same problem. When I switched to the Apple Mouse, the problem abated.
Any ideas on how this can be fixed? I have the latest Logitech drivers already.

I just ran across you post and I've had this problem as well with my Logitech Laster MX1000.
I love the mouse- cordless and all, but with my Intel MacBook have to wait for Logitech Control Center 2.1.4 (June 2007 maybe?) according to Logitech.
But I get this problem you describe and others too -- it might have to do with the location / position of the recharger (transmitter) - I had mine close to my router / internet modem-- think maybe there is some interference.
It gets bad sometimes-- cannot have the menus highlight; the dock freezes-- all cured by just unplugging the Logitech mouse and using the trackpad.
Perhaps others can comment here?
Thanks,
Steve Schulte

  • Logitech Mouse Causing Kernel Panics in 10.6.6

    After updating to 10.6.6 I was getting kernel panics a few minutes after reboot. After hours of troubleshooting I finally realized that it was my Logitech MX510 mouse.
    I just want this to be a known issue so others don't have to troubleshoot and uninstall everything to figure out the problem

    Update:
    It was not the mouse after all. Spotlight was trying to index my boot camp partition and causing the kernel panics.
    Please delete this thread. Thank you

  • Logitech mouse thumb button doesn't work with Firefox upgrade

    After upgrading to the latest version of Firefox, my Logitech mouse works, but NOT the thumb button, (which I have configured to be a double click).

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Logitech mouse right click  relaunching Finder

    I have been having a problem with any and all of my Logitech devices on my MacPro. Every once in a while (I hate every once in a while stuff!!) when I right click when I am in Finder or in a regular window on the desktop, the Finder re-launches immediately. This happens as soon as I right click, but only, it seems, when the machine has sat idle for 10 or more minutes. It can happen a few times a day. It resets any open Finder windows to the default home folder. In all programs, the right click works perfectly as it should.
    The Apple mighty mouse doesn't do this at all, but two LX7's, my MX700, and MX1000, along with an old wired Logitech mouse I have all do the same thing. I have tried dumping the logitech prefs, uninstalling the control software and reinstalling it after a restart, using the factory default settings, and it still happens. The only thing I can relate it to is that it seems to have started when I tested out a Logitech keyboard on this machine, but then went back to my Apple board. I have also done a system reinstall since, and the problem is still there. Any suggestions that might help me nail this thing?

    I see what you are getting at now, but the same mouse (and for that matter all the other Logitech mouses) work fine on my laptop and wife's iMac using the same LCC and mac OS (intel and ppc).
    It has to be some level of command conflict between the OS and the LCC, but what and why only on this one computer, and what can be done to remedy it. Yes , if you only use the Mac OS software, there is no problem, but as it is unique to this computer, there is something somewhere that is causing this. The question is "what can I purge/change" to correct this. It could be in the LCC, it could be in the OS.
    Thanks; Rick

  • Annoying Logitech Mouse Problem

    Hello all, I have a Logitech LX-7 optical mouse (5 buttons + scroll wheel) which works well for the most part. The problem that I'm having is that the cursor behaves erratically (skips all over and moves in a jerky fashion) when the computer is running even mildly processor intensive tasks (40% or more will do it). At the same time the trackpad, which I've never gotten to like using, works perfectly fine. I do have all the latest drivers and software available for the mouse. Does anyone have any suggestions about what to do?
    Well perhaps, yeah, get a better mouse...well in that case then, what multi-function mouse (mice?) are people using that works well with Mac OS?
    Any suggestions or feedback is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks very much,
    -B

    First, uninstall the Logitech Control Center software and driver. Download SteerMouse ($20) from VersionTracker or MacUpdate and use it. It has controls for fine tuning cursor behavior.
    If the mouse is wireless bear in mind that the use of microwave ovens and some portable phones will interfere with the mouse causing jerky cursor behavior (and loss of wireless service as well.)
    To answer your other question the two best mice are either Logitech's VX Revolution and MX Revolution. The former is a notebook model while the latter is a desktop model. Neither use BlueTooth.

  • Logitech mouse scroll not as smooth as trackpad

    Hello all, I have Logitech G700s mouse for my new Macbook pro 15" Retina (2013 Haswell).
    When using my Macbook with the built in trackpad, scrolling is super smoth and very easy on the eyes. But when using the Logitech mouse, scrolling is very (choppy, stuttery, jitter - whatever you want to call it) just not as smooth as the trackpad. Is anybody else having the same problem?
    I tried with and without Logitech drivers. Logitech drivers actually did help a bit, but scrolling still not as smooth as the trackpad. Is this something I will just have to deal with? or is there a fix? is it the mouse problem?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Right Logitech mice aren't the best at scrolling. I have 2 of their mice and both work OK accept for the scroll wheel. They work but they jump around. Moving the wheel forward sometimes makes the system think it is first moving backwards. I find the Wheel scroll detents very weak and any pressure applied to it can cause it to think it has move forwards or backwards without really moving it at all. Just something I have gotten use to over the 2+ years I used them.

  • Logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014

    logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014 winds 8.1. Is this a common problem?
    I have updated the latest drivers and have a few buttons programmed with keyboard shortcuts that used to work in previous versions of Photoshop but don't work now.
    Scrolling with mouse in bridge stopped working in cc butI see it is now working.
    any ideas?

    Many Photoshop extensions are not compatible with Photoshop CC 2014 for Adobe removed support for Flash Panels in CC 2014. Many extensions panels are flash based.  Check with the developer to see if their blendmein extension works with CC 2014.
    Adobe does not maintain Photoshop so it backward compatible with prior versions of Photoshop.  This brakes things like action scripts plugins extensions etc. Keep old version of Photoshop installed....

  • Logitech Mouse Snow Leopard 10.6.1 Experience

    I have a Logitech MX Revolution mouse and after updating to 10.6 & 10.6.1 only the basic two buttons worked. This is an awesome mouse so it was frustrating. But did an internet search found fix (Work Around). Logitech does not have an update for 10.6 yet but this work around will get you going until then. I give credit to Megan Lavey from Sept 1, 09:
    Logitech has not updated its drivers -- usually bundled with its Logitech Control Center application -- for Snow Leopard yet, and an upgrade to the software will take some time, Alan reports. In the meantime, you can work around this issue by doing the following:
    Re-download Logitech Control Center 3.0
    ( http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/494/3129&cl=us,en) if you do not still have the installation package on your machine.
    Unzip the download, then right-click on the installer package. Select "Show All Contents."
    Navigate through the package to the Contents folder, then the Resources folder. There, you'll find the Logitech Control Center.mkpg. Double-click on it and install it.
    Once your system has rebooted, you'll find that you regain full access to customizing your Logitech mouse (and it works for keyboards as well.) It even carried over all of my customized keyboard button settings from Leopard, so you shouldn't have to go through much hassle to reconfigure your equipment. The only thing I had to readjust was the scroll speed on my mouse.
    If you have Exposé as one of your mouse/keyboard button settings, copy (do not move) the Expose.app file from /Applications/Utilities to the /Applications folder. Then Exposé will work properly again.

    I wonder if you would be better creating an 'alias' by dragging Exposé.app with the Command & alt keys held down. It would mean any software updates to Exposé will be provided to Logitech Control Center (LCC).
    An alternative to LCC is ControllerMate. I switched to it when Logitech were using 'Application Enhancer' hacks for the LCC driver, it seems Logitech have stopped doing that nasty hack now, but ControllerMate & SteerMouse are alternative drivers.

  • Using logitech mouse on Macbook Pro

    Why can't I use logitech mouse on my macro pro? My macbook is running OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2 system. It is a 2012 one.

    Logitech have their own Control Center panes and/or a LCC Connection Utility app.  They are located either in System Preferences and/or inside the Utility folder. You will need to go into it to either re-do your settings and/or update its drivers if optional.
    You are lacking details about your mouse.  Suggest you contact Logitech tech support for further help if the suggestions already posted do not work for you.

  • Logitech mouse new problem

    - i have a logitech basic 2 button mouse working for years on my g4 desktop
    - yesterday the screen would not come back from sleep (computer was still on) so I had to restart using front button
    - now the logitech mouse both buttons will only work like control (right) click - (showing info window)
    things i tried
    - tried to reset logitech prefs
    - tossed the prefs (several times) (both root and user folders)
    - tried update/reinstall of sotfware
    - nothing helps
    - another logitech mouse has same problem only on this computer
    - login to a different user - NO PROBLEM! mouse is fine
    - both keyboard and mouse work fine on another mac
    - maybe some OTHER USER related pref should be tossed???
    any ideas would be appreciated.

    That was the default Apple mouse driver. Since you are using a Logitech, at the moment you have no need for the preference file for it. If at some point in time, you get an Apple mouse, it comes with the software you would need.
    You said you already reinstalled the Logitech mouse software and that didn't work... something happened when the computer woke from Sleep. At this point, you might consider an Archive and Install but make sure you have all your important data/images/video and documents backed up first.
    Did you Repair Disk Permissions as I suggested above?
    And try the Logitech Support page: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/support_downloads/&cl=us,en

  • Logitech mouse wheel stopped working

    Hello,
    I had this mouse for a long time. It's a Logitech Cordless Optical mouse connected to a Linksys KVM (I share with 4 different computers). Last week the mouse scroll wheel stooped working. I tried another Logitech mouse (G9) to directly to the USB of my Mac and the mouse wheel scrolls fine.
    Now the problem's the old mouse wheel works fine on my other computers. I tried turning the KVM off, resetting the IR unit, and of course rebooting my mac. Nothing worked. The odd thing is, if I connect the old mouse directly to the Mac, it works OK.
    I really hate the G9. I'd rather stick with my current mouse, but I need the scroll wheel. Any ideas?

    Your profile lists one of the computers as "Hackintosh." Because OS X is licensed for use only with Apple branded computers & the Discussions Terms of Use prohibit discussing illegal uses of software, & equally importantly because we have no idea of how running a hacked version of OS X on non-Apple hardware might be a part of your problem, we cannot help you.
    Sorry.

  • Does logitech mouses work at os x

    Does a bluetooth logitech mouse generally work on os x without any software problems?

    Ask Logitech if you have a problem. I've used Logitech mice for decades on my Macs, but I don't use a BT mouse.

  • Magic Mouse causes WiFi disconnect

    I'm using a Macbook Pro 2009, running OSX Lion 10.7.4. The use of a Magic Mouse causes my Macbook to disconnect from my WiFi. When using a Magic Mouse, I am frequently disconnected from my wireless network — once every few minutes.
    Upon switching to a conventional, corded mouse, I don't experience any problem.
    I also use a bloothtooth Apple wireless keyboard, without any problems.

    Sometimes bluetooth interfers with wifi because they operate on the same 2.4Ghz band.  Try a lower channel number (1-3) on your wifi router.
