Logitech Wireless Mouse and MacBook Pro

Greetings.
I'm thinking about buying a Logitech wireless mouse for my MacBook Pro. The mouse comes with a USB wireless card. Will I need to use this or will the wireless/bluetooth card in the MacBook pick up the mouse by itself?
Cheers,
John

I don't understand your problem. Is it that you can't see the arrow or what? You say the button and all work fine so I am stumped by your question. I have problems with my mouse being recognized by the MBP but I just turn off mouse, restart laptop then turn on mouse and it comes back up. If I ever put my MBP to sleep I shut the mouse off first and wait until it says mouse disconnected or whatever it says..I can't recall. Then I put the MBP to sleep. Once I wake it up turn mouse back on and voila..works!! Maybe try pushing the little "Connect" button on the bottom of the mouse that might help. I have never tried that but just a suggestion.
Sorry if this is all confusing.

  • Delay issue with mighty mouse and macbook pro. help?

    Connected but delayed in movement. I am connected to an HD tv via HDMI and only a delay issue on the tv monitor. The mouse responds as normal on the laptop screen if I have it open, but on the TV it is delayed. Any clue as to what might be wrong? I am running HDMI to a converter for the mini display port and have seen it work many times with no delay. I have changed the batteries and reconnected/restarted the computer and the mouse numerous times. 

    Hey there, I'm on the forums because I can't get my wireless mouse to connect to my new MacBook Pro either (just got it yesterday). Bluetooth Device Manager seems to "see" it when it searches, but insists it can't connect to it, saying either "device not found" (which is ridiculous, since it's right up there in the list) or "cannot find the necessary services." Yet I cannot find anything definitive on the tubes to say that the two don't work together. Anyone else have any ideas for us??
    I should mention I changed the batteries b/c at first I thought that's all it was. When it didn't work I brought it to a 2009 MacBook Pro, and that one connected no problem ::shaking head::

  • Magic mouse and Macbook Pro Sleeping issues

    Since I upgraded to Lion a few months ago, I've noticed that occasionally my Macbook Pro (early 2010) won't sleep when I close the lid. I think I've narrowed down (at least one of) the cause(s): if I turn off my bluetooth Magic Mouse after the lid is closed, the computer won't sleep. In fact, it will run hotter and hotter with the lid closed and, when I open the computer, it's non responsive, necessitating a hard reboot. I've checked the pmset log and I see the EHC2 (bluetooth mouse) waking the computer immediately after the clamshell sleep. Has anyone else seen this problem (I've seen similar things on the foroum, but not quite the same) and does anyone know what to do about it?

    Repair disk permissions. Open this app:
    Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.app
    Ensure your current volume is selected in the left hand column. Click 'First Aid' (if its not already selected), then 'Repair Disk Permissions' at the bottom.
    Ignore the various warnings that come up in the 'Details' window, so long you get a message at the end saying 'Permissions repair complete'.

  • Using a external laser wireless mouse with MacBook Pro

    Recently I have been having a couple situations where when I move my wireless mouse the pointer lags around and is very jumpy. Not precise at all. This happens only when using the external and not the track pad at all. I want to say it is because the receiver is plugged into the left side of the laptop and I am right handed and maybe there is some interference? Can anyone let me know if they are experiencing the same issues and if there is a good fix. Thank you!

    I would try putting the mouse just on the left hand side near the receiver to narrow down the issue and see if your still having those problems. If your still having that problem I would get a new mouse and if your not well then you know your problem. Good-luck

    Yes it will work just fine. I sell and set them up quite a bit with both PC's and Macs.
    All N routers at the moment are all based on draft N protocol, even Apple's own Airport routers. So the Belkin N+ will work at N speeds if you set it to N mode only. Ofcourse for broad compatibility with all sorts of WiFi devices it is best to leave it in mixed mode.
    For some background, i have used all sorts of makes of routers from Compaq/TrendNet (favourite)/Microsoft/Netgear (current favourite)/Dlink...and so on over the years, NOT any issues.
    Apple's Airport extreme base stations (which are still draft N) aren't any more compatible than a Netgear or Belkin N router.

  • Macbook Pro Retina (15") can't connect to wireless mouse and external USB keyboard

    Hi All,
    I got my new MacBook Pro Retina (15 inch) about 3 weeks ago. It works fine. I got a 30" Dell screen that I am using via thunderbolt/usb adapter. Also, I am using a thunderbolt ethernet adapter. Both adapters work fine without any problems.
    I have an apple usb keyboard connected to the USB hub of the screen, as well as my iphone cable. It is a regular, full size apple keyboard. In addition to this, I have a logitech nano connected directly to the right usb port of the macbook pro.
    This setup was working well until a few days ago. I lost connectivity with my mouse. Initially, I thought the batteries are empty. After replacing them, I still had no connection (again, the usb receiver is *directly* connected to the macbook).
    I changed a few cables here and there and noticed that I can get either the keyboard to work or the mouse but not both at the same time. A reboot did not help.
    Did anybody encounter such a strange problem already? If so, what could I possibly do?
    Thank You,
    --Martin

    Hello nikkig00,
    It is certainly difficult to use the computer if your wireless keyboard and mouse do not connect.  I found a few resources I recommend for this issue.
    I recommend reviewing this article first:
    Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3048
    If the issue persists, I recommend reviewing the section titled "Top troubleshooting tips" in the article below.  Step 9 specifically stands out to me for the issue you described:
    9. Restart your computer
    Sometimes a simple restart of your Mac is all it takes to get things running smoothly again. You may also want to try resetting your computer's PRAM and NVRAM.

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • MacBook and MacBook Pro with 10.6:  Wireless Airport Issues with Cisco

    Long Story but please bear with me:
    Loaded SL on my daughters MacBook and my MacBook Pro. Internet worked flawlessly at our house (WEP encrypted) and on other public wifi. When my daughter went back to her sorority house at college 24 hours later, she could not access the internet using the sorority house network (Cisco Aironet 1800 router and Cisco Airo Access Points).
    Her Airport on the MacBook appeared connected at full strength yet no internet. Two calls to Apple support (they were very nice) did not help. All the following were tried:
    1. Reset PRAM
    2. Deleted Airport and Safari plists
    3. Edited locations
    4. Removed Battery
    5. Others I cannot now remember
    Still no net. However, she could 'pirate' and hop on line with other identified public wifi adjacent to the sorority house. I drove to the sorority house today and tried to get on the network wirelessly using my MacBook Pro with SL. Same identical results to hers. Another MacBook without SL works great and gets right on the network.
    Is this some SL influenced issue with the Airport card and the Cisco system? Weird that both of our laptops work great with several other wifi networks but not the one at the sorority house.
    Could much of what we all our seeing with the internet access problem lie not with issues within our software or computers but with the routers and access points not being compatible? I have very little understanding of this stuff (as you all can probably tell) but the Apple Support people acted like it was a old firmware issue with Cisco and not with SL. Not actually what I wanted to hear.
    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Your description there, particularly the last part, sounds like my problem. At home, we connect using Airport and ADSL which was OK, once SL had sorted out passwords.
    At my office, where there are two wifi systems, I could not get on either, although did have IP numbers on both. The link to the outside world is via a proxy which uses a PAC file. Network Diagnostics reported each time (whatever I did) that the link to the server was OK, but the Internet was not.
    I created a new Location with identical settings (typing them in and not copying) and the only visible difference is that the new location has no DNS numbers -- I had not noticed that before. The moment I pressed, Apply, the computer was online.
    I was guessing that there was a conflict in a .plist file somewhere; but now I wonder if DNS might have been the reason (the DNS number usually used is the one from the router itself).

  • First time user trying to set up new Mac pro, wireless mouse and wireless keyboard together?

    So  I just bought a new Mac Pro, wireless keyboard and mouse. i am a first time Mac user. How do I even get started......connect the wireless mouse and key board to the Mac Pro desktop to even get started??

    Just turn on the mouse and keyboard and observe that the green light comes on and starts to blink then turn on the Mac. The Mac should give you on-screen instructions.

  • Connecting iMac and MacBook Pro using a non-Apple wireless router

    I use a Belkin wireless router. Is there any way for me to connect iMac and MacBook Pro using the router to share files? I think I read somewhere that I need AirPort Extreme for this, but I'm not sure. Thank you.

    Great resource from Dennis...file sharing, I.e. networking, is a function of the operating system settings and not the brand of router. Using Mac OS X 10.6 on both machines makes it really seamless. Following Dennis's kb article should make the two almost act like one machine.

  • I am trying to set up using my printer wirelessly through airport.  I have a macbook and my husband can print wirelessly from his Macbook Pro but I can't.  What do I have to do to set mine up?  The printer is an Epson R2400

    I am trying to set up using my printer wirelessly through airport.  I have a macbook and my husband can print wirelessly from his Macbook Pro but I can't.  What do I have to do to set mine up?  The printer is an Epson R2400

    Is there a cd that came with the printer?
    If so, put in the cd and that will help you set it up.
    If not, I think macs come with a program that helps you set up printers.
    Also make sure that the printer is connected to the same network.
    Make sure the printer is on.

  • My MacBook keyboard and track pad stopped functioning after pairing an Apple wireless mouse and keyboard. Any suggestions?

    My MacBook keyboard and track pad stopped functioning after pairing an Apple wireless mouse and keyboard. Any suggestions?

    I deleted the mouse by selecting it in the bluetooth options and clicking the minus tab. I went ahead and reinstalled OS X right afterwards. Right now I am having to use a USB mouse and keyboard. I disconnected both prior to start up. I get a widow that shows a demonstration on how to install batteries into a wireless mouse only way to pass that screen was to reattach the USB mouse. Then with a fresh startup no resolve.

  • TA27020 i purchased a wireless mouse and keypad to use with my mac, and i have not used it for sometime and now my mac indicates no bluetooth capabilities

  • IMac and Macbook Pro no longer connecting to the Wifi?

    Hi there,
    I've been in London this weekend, only to return home to find issues connecting to my wifi. Weirdly, it's only the iMac and Macbook Pro having trouble, everything else is connecting fine e.g iPad, Phone, Android Tablet etc.
    I'm getting disconnected around every 20 seconds and cannot figure it out! It's so frustrating as I'm wondering if there's been an update released for OS X that it has downloaded recently? Especially seeing that when I run windows from bootcamp on my iMac, it doesn't disconnect. And I also don't believe it's an issue with the hub.
    Has anyone got any suggestions? I've tried removing the network and re-adding, help for about an hour but still not much use.
    Thanks, Matt
