Logitech V470 Cordless fails to connect in Boot Camp

After installing MS XP SP3, my Logitech V470 Cordless fails to connect in Boot Camp. The Logitech Bluetooth Connection Assistant does not recognize the mouse. In MS Control Panel, Bluetooth the mouse is recognized, without a password, but does not work. I have had not luck with Logitech or Microsoft. Any suggestions.

After Vista installed, did you insert the Mac drivers CD (if you're running the beta Boot Camp) or the Installation DVD (if you're running Leopard)? Without the Apple-supplied drivers you probably won't have a lot of things working right.

Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse stopped working!

Hi
I have a Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse... Now I can't get it to work in Mac OS. I have VMWare, and it works fine in Windows... I really don't know how to fix this... it seems that the mouse is not found... Any ideas? Thank you
Pedro

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

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

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.

Wireless *intermittently* fails to connect upon boot

Hi folks,
First post! After a few days of grinding away, I've got my first Arch Linux installation up and running alongside a Windows 7 partition. As a relatively inexperienced Linux user, it's been challenging at times, but I'm very happy with the new setup and I've resolved most problems encountered thus far.
However, I've run into an irksome problem that I haven't yet been able to solve:
Most of the time when I boot into Arch Linux, my wireless connection starts automatically via netctl. I can open up Chromium and browse straight away.
However, perhaps every 2-3 boots, I start an Arch Linux session where I find that my wireless has not connected. I'll open up Chromium and receive errors, then I'll open up a terminal and find that 'iwconfig' isn't showing any active wireless connection.
I've done my share of Googling on this, and browsed the Arch wiki to try and find an answer, but many of the solutions that I have found relate to the problem of a wireless connection refusing to connect at all. This doesn't apply to my case, so I thought I'd put this out to the panel of resident experts here!
Here's my iwconfig when I boot into a 'good' session with working wireless:
eno1 no wireless extensions.
wlp4s0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"ZyXEL7850rtg"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.472 GHz Access Point: 50:67:F0:E8:4E:00

Power Management:off
Link Quality=70/70 Signal level=-35 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:1 Missed beacon:0
lo no wireless extensions.
Here's my iwconfig when I boot into a 'bad' session with no wireless:
eno1 no wireless extensions.
wlp4s0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
lo no wireless extensions.
Other relevant info:
- I have recently migrated to netctl from netcfg, as instructed in the Arch wiki. I was hoping that this would resolve my problem, as the exact same issue previously occurred for me on netcfg. Unfortunately, the problem remains intact.
- I see no such issues on my Windows 7 partition (the wireless connection always works upon boot), so it would appear that hardware issues can be ruled out.
- When wireless fails to start upon boot, I can still connect by entering 'sudo wifi-menu wlp4s0' and specifying the desired connection manually. So I don't have to reboot to get my connection working, but nonetheless, this is a nuisance.
I'm not sure what other data (logs etc.) might be useful in diagnosing this issue, but I'd be grateful for any pointers.
Thanks in advance for any assistance or newbie-bashing rendered!

Thanks for the suggestion Aton. I reproduced the problem, and then sifted through journalctl to see what I could find.
I dug up the following lines of interest:
Apr 15 18:31:02 kevin-pc network[297]: Starting network profile 'wlp4s0-ZyXEL7850rtg'...

Apr 15 18:31:15 kevin-pc systemd[1]: Unit netctl@wlp4s0\x2dZyXEL7850rtg.service entered failed state
I have no idea what to make of this, but it's good to get some new information.
I'm going to Google around a bit with some of these error messages. In the meantime, I open the floor to suggestions if anyone discerns anything obvious in the output above...

No connections in boot camp?

Connecting Under Boot Camp - WRT610N

I recently replaced an old Belkin router with the WRT610N. I've benn very happy with this router with one exception. I have a Macbook Pro. Under the Mac operating system, I have not problem connecting. Running XP under Boot Camp is a diffferent story. It will connect for a few minutes, but then the link becomes non-responsive (limited ot no connectivity) and I have to log off and then back on. This never happened with the Belkin router, and other PCs, an Apple TV, and an iPhone connect wirelessly without a hitch. So I suspect this is something about the Linksys router.
Can anyone help me with this problem? It happens on both bands. If it's relevant, the 5GHz band is network mode Wireless-N only, radio band Auto, WPA2-Personal with WPA-TKIP or WPA2-AES encryption. The 2.4GHz band (the one I prefer to use for this problamatic connection) is network mode Mixed, radio band Auto, WPA-Personal with TKIP encryption.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Upgrade the Firmware on the router as the new firmware has resolved many issues for wireless connection...Also make sure that the radio band for 2.4GHz Frequency is set to standard-20MHz and standard channel should be 11-2.462GHz...Also the network mode should be Mixed on both the frequencies...

Try posting in the Boot Camp forum.

Windows 7 Pro not finding network connections after boot camp installation. Is there something special we have to do to get the network (wired and wireless) set up?

Any suggestions for getting the network connections working on Windows 7 Pro running on a Mac Min with OSX Lion?

If you haven't yet installed the Windows Support Software, that's probably why, so install it now.

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 Vs Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000

Hi ,
I would like to go for a Bluetooth (must be transceiver free) laser mouse .Among the following models , which one wud be the best choice ..
1).Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks with Bluetooth technology
2).Microsoft Bluetooth® Notebook Mouse 5000
Any suggestions from existing users of these models ...or any other model which is better than the above two ?
Thanks,
Nelson

I also was debating between these two mice, as I previously had a Mighty Mouse Laser BT, and its tracking was terrible. I also bought a Gear Heads 1600dpi mouse, and while the tracking was excellent on it, I couldn't stand how long it took to come 'back' after the computer had been to sleep and it would go into it's own 'sleep mode' within 2 minutes of inactivity, causing a delay before using it again that was well over 5 seconds - very annoying!
I wound up buying the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 because I happened to like it's design a bit more and because it's rated at 1000dpi rather than the Logitech v470's 800dpi (Yeah I know... not a big difference).
Nonetheless, I have a Time Capsule running at 5ghz and a Linksys router running at 2.4ghz and I notice no lag or skipping that has been reported with the v470. The response time of the mouse is excellent, and there is no lag/delay when using the mouse after a short period of inactivity. When resuming my MBP from sleep it comes back to life in about 3-4 seconds, which is even faster than the mighty mouse was for me.
This mouse is considerably better than the (much cheaper) gear heads mouse I had before. Interestingly the gear heads mouse is 1600dpi and does provide a faster and slightly more precise tracking experience, but it goes to sleep every minute I leave it alone providing for a very long delay before it resumes (sometimes up to 10 seconds!)
Something to note: without installing a third party driver (like Steermouse) you will not be able to get the extra 'back' button to work in OS X; this annoyed me slightly when I first paired it.
It seems that the Microsoft 5000 might be the better choice for those who stumble upon this thread looking for the same thing I was!

Connecting MacBook through external display in Windows Boot Camp partition

Hello everyone! I recently installed Windows Vista Home Premium on my MacBook 320GB. My Mac Partition of the drive works perfect, and connects through Mini DVI-Video through composite cables and into my T.V. When I tried this in Windows, I had no luck whatsoever. yes, all the drivers are installed for my chipset, processor, keyboard, etc. Windows is updated as well through Microsoft, But not through the Apple Software Update because the download failed again to the Boot Camp update. How do I connect an external display(ex. Projector, T.V., anything that has composite input)? Yes, I know some of you will say, "Your first mistake was buying Vista", but thats not the problem here. Windows Vista works perfectly. When you connect an external display, it re-adjusts its screen resolution but does not appear on the external monitor. Is the Boot Camp Update the solution? Please Help!!!
That was a lot of writing!
-Christian

I am using Vista on Macbook and when I connect my PC to my TV, lot of times, it hangs on me and a blue screen shows up with some errors and then it shut downs. I atleast do this 2-3 times and then finally it gets connected but there has to be a way where we can easily connect to TV without any issues. Any help guys?
Also I have noticed, my resolution on TV when I connect my macbook is 1900 x 1260 something... Is this related to resolutions?

How do I tell the installed Boot Camp version (Windows 7, 32-bit)?

I installed Windows 7 (32-bit) in a new Boot Camp partition. I see that there are several Boot Camp version updates for 32-bit Win 7 (3.2 from 3.1, etc.). Previously I had Windows XP, and in the system tray at lower right of the screen there was an icon for information about Boot Camp. My Win 7 installation has no such icon. How do I tell which Boot Camp version I am running?
Likewise, Win XP had an Apple utility for setting the startup disk. The only Apple utility I find in Win 7 is Apple Software Update (which shows no updates needed).
What am I missing?

Answered my own question! When I installed Win 7, I failed to install the Boot Camp drivers on the OS X install disk. Did so, and now the Boot Camp icon shows up.
