Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse with Vista 64-bit

Has anyone used the Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse with Vista 64-bit.
My MightyMouse works and I am looking for another mouse so I can use this one with my other MBP.
Thanks.

Hi-
You can use it with any machine that will accept the receiver dongle.
I have a wireless notebook Logitech that my daughter uses with a G4 tower. Fits her little hand better than the "desktop" versions.

Logitech V470 Bluetooth Mouse works well with Arch

I know we're not supposed to do advertising on this forum, but in this case, I feel I'm just reporting about a hardware compatibility issue.
After my Microsoft USB optical cordless mouse died, with some hesitation I ordered a Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse. It's a bluetooth mouse designed especially for notebooks but, since it's a mid-size rather than really compact mouse, it's big enough to be comfortable for everyday use with a desktop, I think.
I'm happy to report that, by following the steps in this wiki page about installing a bluetooth mouse on Arch, I got it working in no time. Mark another small victory for Linux, and for Arch and its documentation, too.
FWIW, my laptop is a Thinkpad T61p.
I remember a time when you could almost count on spending a lot of time setting up most any newish hardware item under Linux. I used to put up with it since I invariably would learn a lot about my system and about Linux, too. I think we're getting past that now, and that the Linux userbase has reached the critical mass necessary so that the drivers, setup scripts and documentation generally follow pretty quickly a new hardware release.

Thanks for the help, zyghom. I've finally got things working. My experience went like this:
(1) After updating to bluez-4.30, I created the special "trust" file in /var/lib/bluetooth/XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX/, as explained in this post. However, contrary to what that post says, in my case the trust file doesn't have to be copied over to its location with each boot. It seems to be persisting from boot to boot.
(2) Since I'm currently using KDE4, I next installed and tried kdebluetooth4 to register my bluetooth mouse, but I couldn't get it to work.
(3) Next I tried blueman, which didn't work properly, either.
(4) I thought I was going to have to install the gnome bluetooth tool(s), but finally I got kdebluetooth4 to work. To get kdebluetooth4 to work properly, I had to:
(4.a) rebuild from ABS obex-data-server (at least I think that's what made the difference).
(4.b) Then I had to fiddle with kdebluetooth4 a bit, setting my mouse as a trusted device, then rebooting and redoing the settings until the settings "stuck" (I don't know why they didn't stick the first time).
(4.c) Then I had to write a bash script for kdebluetooth4 to be autostarted, which I made executable and put into ~/.kde4/Autostart
Maybe I did more than was necessary, but it is working now, and with bluez-4.30. Thanks again, zyghom, for leading me in the right direction, and for your patience with an old-timer. Now, please excuse me, I've got to go find my reading glasses and hearing aid.

Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse

I noticed the Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse on apples product page says it's for "notebooks." Can this mouse be used with my desktop? I'm pretty sure it can just curious though. It says the same on buy.com

Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse stopped working!

Hi

Hi Pedro,
Ever figure this one out? I'm in the same pickle.

Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse problems with new macbook pro.

Got a Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse to use with my recent 2011 macbook pro running 10.6.7. There appear to be several problems with this combination.
1. If the mouse is not moved for a few seconds and I move it, the pointer does not respond immediately, and when it does, the pointer motion stutters and jerks across the screen for a few seconds before it starts moving smoothly. I don't see any spike in CPU usage when this happens.
2. When I shutdown/reboot or sometimes even put the macbook pro to sleep and wake it up, the machine fails to communicate with the mouse, nothing happens even if I reset/restart the mouse or click, scroll or move it around. The only fix is to go to the bluetooth settings and set it up as a new device.
I suspected a hardware problem on either the mouse or the mac, but (a) the mouse works perfectly fine on an older Sony Vaio laptop and (b) the apple wireless keyboard works pretty fine with none of these problems with my macbook. Would getting an apple magic mouse magically solve this problem?
Has anyone else faced this situation, and could it be fixed?

Any issues you are having with a "Logitech" product, should be dealt with their tech/customer support department.

Internet Security Suite does not work with Vista 64 bit

After attempting to use the Chat Help, twice, and spending hours in queue before getting kicked off, I finally called Support to find out why my new Vista computer was not running the Internet Security Suite that I downloaded. Yes, I found the link to "download to a second computer" and went thru all the steps. Got lots of positive feedback: little bars were filling in letting me know I was 40%, 72%, 100% done, etc.. Was given a window allowing me to Run or Don't Run the software. It all seemed to go very well. However, when the "download and installation" was complete, there was no new software running anywhere on my computer. Couldn't find it in the Control Panel, the Start menu, or the system tray. Called Support and spent at least 30 minutes on the phone with a "technician" (and I use that term VERY loosely) who had to have major assistance from a co-worker before he could even start screen-sharing with me and, during the course of our time together, made the following brilliant remarks:
Upon seeing my desktop wallpaper (which is a lovely photo of some cliffs and a lake - and it came with Vista), he wanted to know what the picture was. Not where it was taken, but just what it was. His exact comment was "Does your screen always look like that?". I had to dig deeper to determine if he was asking about a particular icon or some other computer related concern that he saw (he was "technical support", after all), but he was just asking about the stupid photo.
He couldn't find the Control Panel in the Start Menu until after trying several times, and then he couldn't navigate to the Programs area very well (I had to give verbal hints as to where it was), and his brilliant comment then was "I really need to go to my mom's house and get on her new laptop and try out Vista." Can you believe that Verizon has technical support folks who have never used Vista? It's not like Vista just came on the market yesterday!!
So, when he finally decided that he was not going to be able to help me, he didn't offer me any other recourse. He just stated over and over that he was not sure how to solve this issue. Oh, and this was after I re-downloaded ISS (again, "successfully"). I had to ask if there was someone else there who could possibly help me. He offered to put me on hold (for the 2nd or 3rd time at this point) to check around. When he returned to the phone, it was obvious that someone else was operating the mouse in the screen sharing mode because the operator moved confidentially around the screen and went immediately to system properties and saw that I am running Windows 64 bit. The other operator then told my guy to tell me that ISS only works with Windows 32 bit. Their final resolution was that I should call billing on Monday and end my subscription. I think that may be the only good advice I was given that day.
So, am probably going to renew my trial version of Norton on this new computer and remove ISS from the laptop and put Norton on there as well. Apparently, they are up to date with this fancy new technology. At least they probably know about sophisticated and highly technical stuff like desktop wallpaper.

I have been trying to get somewhere with this Internet Security Suite...and now have come to the conclusion this is not going to work. Now running Vista 64 bit, and have gotten nothing but the run around to try to complete the downloading of the program. I've contacted Verizon Tech Support...then tell me that this works with the 64 bit but I need to contact Windows as there is a glitch and they give you the steps to get thru it. Windows advises me to contact Verizon again as there are no problems with the OS. Also have contacted Radialpoint and once again nothing...Obviously the Secuirty is not compatible with Vista 64 bit yet, which I just can't believe like you said...it's not like it was just yesterday this OS came out. My frusteration comes from nobody steps up to take any responsibility as to what the problem is. If it is not compatible yet then say so and not waste my whole weekend trying to get a straight answer. I have other computers that I am currently using the service on and do like the program, but as for my Vista 64 bit looks like I may go to Macafee for protection. It just amazes me as big as Verizon is and as popular this Vista has become they are not on the ball in keeping up with technology.

Acrobat tries to reinstall when I right-mouse click - vista 32 bit

I bought and installed Adobe Master Suite. Now, whenever I right mouse click my start menu (or any icon for that matter), I get a message saying Acrobat needs to be configured, at which point Acrobat begins to reinstall itself. WOW. I must say i have not seen a bug like this since circa Windows 95. Makes me wonder how extensively Adobe tested Acrobat 9 with Vista 32 bit. Yikes. What next ? BSOD's?
Snarkiness aside, can anyone tell me how to fix this problem? I only found one instance in Google search, and of course it was one associated with the dreaded experts-exchange.com (we can only pray they will hire a careless sys admin who will accidentally nuke all their servers).
A few other posts said the only way to fix this issue is to re-install (tried it, doesn't work), or remove some registry keys to remove the Acrobat entry from the right mouse click context menu (which I don't want to do)
HELP
Thanks all
Mark

I'd recommend uninstalling Acrobat. Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup tool to remove all remnants of Acrobat and then re-install.

Download and install the QuickTime 7.4 standalone installer(without iTunes), install it, and report back your results? You can get it here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Thanks,

Unfortunately, no.
It does not work correctly, I actually had to do a system restore. It broke a few things. Most noticeably my quick launch bar quit working. The icons were present but clicking them did nothing, it would not re-size correctly, etc.
I wont be putting it back on the PC any time soon.

When I turn on my PC with Vista 64 bits it gives a message "ApplephotoStreams.exe has stopped working. Windows will close program. Please help.

When I turn on my PC with Vista 64 bits it gives me a message "ApplePhotoSream.exe" has stopped working correctly. Windows will close the program.
Please help!!!

Hi, I have the same problem. Has anyone come forward with any advice on fixing the problem?

Satellite A300D with Vista 64-bit - Drivers for Conexant High Definition

Hi,
I have Satalite A300D-15B AMB 64-bit notebook with Vista 64-bit installed. After I have installed Vista, it automatically took the audio drivers for sound card, but Dolby didn't work.
I tried to install the drivers from toshiba, it fails.
Can someone guide me how to install the Vista 64-bit drivers for Conexant High Definition Audio please......
regards,
Ganesh

Hello Ganesh
Sorry but this notebook model is not supported for Vista 64-bit and I don't know what driver installation are you writing about.
What you can try is to download and install THIS driver.
This is driver for Satellite A300 but this notebook has the same sound card as your Satellite A300D - Conexant CX20561.
Please post the results.

Exception while running Quicktime on VS 2008 C# with Vista 64 bit

Hi all,
I am using windows vista 64 bit OS. I have downloaded Quicktime SDK 7.3. I have created an windows forms application with C# and used Apple quicktime Control 2.0. When I start running my application I am getting a runtime exception called
"Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154
(REGDBECLASSNOTREG))"
Please help me to solve this. Its very urgent for me. Thanks in advance.

Raja Chandrasekaran

Hi all,
I am really feel bad that no one replied from Apple.I dont know whether you guyz are looking on this forum. But I tried the given SDK 7.3 with Vista 32 bit and also with XP. In both the OS its working fine. But It not supports Vista 64 bit. May be Microsoft or apple has to provide compatibility for developing quicktime app using windows. Thanks.

Any experience with logitech v400 cordless laser mouse?

I'm still looking for a good mouse, either bluetooth or USB-cordless for my iBook. I recently learnt that Logitech has a new notebook mouse: logitech v400. If anyone has experience with this mouse I would appreciate hearing their findings.
thanx, Frank
iMac G5 1800 mHz & iBook 12' (1,33 mHz, 60 GB) Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Nick it's a USB. I have the MX1000. As I told Frank I really don't have any experience with the others so I couldn't really say. I went from the Apple one button to an Microsoft Intellimouse. I realized I liked all those buttons. A lot! So when I decided on getting a wireless I wanted one that had plenty of buttons!
The MX1000 had just came out and was getting real good reviews and I checked one out and liked it so I asked Santa for it last year and I must've been a good boy because my wife.... I mean Santa brought me one.
I would imagine you could check into exactly what feature each one has and find one you like.
I really like the idea of never having to put batteries in it. It charges off the base/receiver. Mine usually lasts about 3 weeks between charges and it takes about 4 hrs to charge it. It has a batter meter on it so I know ahead of time when it's low and I usually just put it in the charger overnight.

Help with Logitech V470 Bluetooth Mouse connecting to Thinkpad T510

Hi, Guys
I received my T510 a few days ago. And I originally throught they did not put Bluetooth on my machine.
I called them this morning and got that you have to press FN+F5 to enable Bluetooth.
So, I did that, but stll, I can't get my V470 bluetooth mouse connected to it ?
Things I have tried:
01 latest software from Logitech website, Windows 7 64 Bit
02 Original driver/software came with the mouse
They both do not work.
I wonder if there is any one having the same issue, or any Lenovi staff could help you out ?
Thanks.

Using Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboard/mouse with a MacBook

What is required to use a MacBook with the Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse?
-- i.e., what 'setup' is required to get the MacBook to recognize those devices and respond to input from them?
Thanks.

To be able to use the mouse and keyboard to full effect, such as key combos on boot and all the mouse buttons, its best to install the drivers from the cd that came with the mouse and keyboard.

Trick for Pairing Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse With Windows 7 in BC 3.1

My Mac:
Mid-2007 iMac 20", 2.4 GHz; OS X 10.6.2; Windows 7 Home; Boot Camp 3.1
My Problem:
No matter what I tried, including all kinds of tips and tricks found in this forum and elsewhere on the web, I could not get my Apple aluminum bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth Mighty Mouse to pair in Windows 7. Windows 7's bluetooth setup panel would see them, from time to time, but never connected.
The same pair connected quite easily with Snow Leopard, and the keyboard connected before I installed BC 3.1 in Win 7 (never did get the MM to connect in Win 7 with BC 3.0). But with BC 3.1 in Win 7, it was no dice for either one until I made an accidental discovery.
While prepping another Apple bluetooth aluminum keyboard for my wife's Mac Mini, it was seen by my iMac's Win 7, which wanted to pair with it.
Aha! A Big Clue! The Win 7 BC 3.1 generic bluetooth drivers wanted to pair with an aluminum keyboard that wasn't already paired with the iMac. So, I booted back into Snow Leopard, connected a USB mouse and keyboard, renamed the bluetooth mouse and keyboard, and then deleted them. I rebooted back into Win 7, then easily set up both renamed mouse and keyboard which paired quickly with Windows.
Note that I first tried deleting them from the Snow Leopard side first, but Win 7 still wouldn't pair with them. That's when I went back to Snow Leopard and renamed them but didn't pair them with the iMac until it was booted into Win 7.
Finally, I rebooted back into Snow Leopard and paired the keyboard and mouse with OS X. Done.
Hope this trick/tip/hint helps someone else with keyboard and mouse bluetooth pairing problems.

You're welcome. My discovery was quite accidental, but that's often how things happen ... if you're paying attention and are looking for clues.
Sorry you had to trial and error before you succeeded, but as you've probably found, it is necessary to rename the bluetooth devices first, then delete them from OS X.
I don't understand why this trick was necessary, or even what caused it to happen. I've got 6 Win 7 installations via Boot Camp on 6 Intel Macs (2 white MacBooks, 1 Unibody MacBook, a Core Duo Mac Mini, a 27" iMac and the 20" 2.4 Mid-2007 iMac). All were running 10.6.2 and Win 7 (aren't Family Packs wonderful?) via Boot Camp 3.0 more or less without problems, except as noted in my first post.
Only the 20" iMac had problems after the Boot Camp 3.1. Not only did I have a devil of a time pairing the keyboard and mouse, but I also lost the Win 7 activation on the iMac 20" and the OS X partition started showing up as "EFI Boot". All happened right after I updated Boot Camp 3.0 to 3.1 via download from Apple while running Win 7.
I've heard reports of other Mac users discovering Boot Camp had done a FUBAR job on their machines, but this is my first experience. My guess is that there's some dialogue going on between 10.6, Win 7 and Boot Camp that shouldn't be happening. What I really don't understand is why my other 5 Macs didn't have any problems at all with the Boot Camp upgrade to 3.1. Let's hope the Apple Boot Camp team can reverse engineer my discovery and improve the next version of BC.
