Logitech Wireless Mouse & Keyboard....

Hello,
I took the Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse combo off of my PC (since I no longer have to suffer using it thanks to my new iBook) and plugged it into my new favorite laptop. Although the Logitech box says that it's for PC only, I'm using the keyboard & mouse right now. I have yet to try and install the software from the CD because I don't think that will work.
I'm just wondering if anyone has any input or reassurance that this won't mess up my prized iBook. O yah, I also have a separate Logitech mouse that I have the Logitech software installed for, and it doesn't recognize my new imput devices.
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance....

I have the Logitech Tracball which I like very much. The new drivers that Logitech came out with "1.6.2" don't work and makes your iBook non-functional for use. The Tracball is very comfortable and fast when working, unfortunately the company doesn't stand behind its products very well. I use contextual menu's a lot and found that "One Click" worked for awhile but the new down load of 10.4.4 is not yet compatible. Maybe the Apple Mighty Mouse next.

  • Wireless mouse/keyboard intermittent dis-connects

    In the last three days, I have looked at over 20 different posts regarding wireless mouse/keyboard disconnect problems. Thew fixes ranged all over the board and NONE fixed it. And, none of these problems matched mine exactly, except for one other. I too, have two iMacs and this problem has over the last few days gotten increasingly worse and irritating. Regardless of what you're doing, whether it is actual productive work, or playing a stupid game on your computer, when your mouse quits responding, and the graphic flashed on the screen "MOUSE DISCONNECTED", it irritates.
    I think a senior apple tech finally pin-pointed the problem, at least for my two systems. It has nothing at all to do with Bluetooth or Wireless networking. I tried ALL of those fixes including resetting the SMC. None fixed it.
    Here is what the tech had me do. Under System Preferences > Users & Groups > My Login, I then clicked on "Login items. I was astounded to see a list that exceeded the size of the window of "startup" programs that have been installed from iTunes Helper, to Dropbox to blah, blah, blah. You name it. He had me remove ALL of them except iTunes Helper. one item "Connect service (all users) could not be removed. However, as we later discussed, the specific item the I believe to be the culprit was "Bittorrent". I've forgotten what I downloaded that used that as the download agent, but in the future, I shall NEVER AGAIN use it for ANY reason. I also removed from the applications area, some non-used programs (that probably weren't the problem, but...), emptied the trash, re-booted and have not had the problem since. I want to stress here, that if your problem is actually Bluetooth or Wireless network related, this will not fix it. However, my mouse had gotten really molassesy in that when I would try to quickly move from one spot to another on the screen, it took some time to catch up, as if something else had control. That's what I think Bittorrent or someone trying to share one of my files was causing. I don't share my files. Period. I didn't realize that it could be subverted to that use of I wouldn't have ever used it in the first place.
    Anyway, neither one of my iMacs has exhibited ANY of the former symptoms since clearing that list on each system. Turns out, my second iMac also had Bittorrent in the list. That's about the only thing the two have in common besides Yosemite 10.10.3. Maybe this will help, maybe it won't. I sure hope it does. Forums like this one are extremely helpful to me.

    I had the same problem... didn't find anything useful in the forums.  Just on a whim, I went to the
    Control Panel | Device Manager | Universal Serial Bus Controllers
    For each "Hub", right click and select "properties"
    On each properties page, select "Power Management" tab
    On each power management tab "uncheck" the "Allow the computer to turn off..."
    I did this for the Generic USB Hubs, the USB Root Hubs, and the Reneasas...Hub.   After that was completed, all USB ports started working immediately.  So far, they are staying working but it has only been an hour or so.   Will report back if this doesn't stick.    Also, there may be a more elegant solution... but this works for now.

  • 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.

    Print the first page of the panic report, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
    Note that the replacement program only applies within three years of purchase. If you wait beyond that date, Apple may refuse the service.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

    Most likely, the logic board will be replaced. Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.

  • Logitech wireless Mouse, 24" iMac w/OS10.6.8. No work?

    Bought a new (cheap) Logitech M325 wireless mouse. Would not work. Took it back to the store (Best Buy). It was demonstrated as working fine on the stores new display model iMac. However the sales person said I needed to activate it's use thru the Bluetooth function and showed me how. I got a brand new replacement mouse and  tried it. No luck. The Blue tooth would not "find" it. Online discussion with Logitech says I got bad advice in that the Bluetooth has nothing to do with it. Just plug it in and it should work. I tried all the troubleshooting ideas they had, such as new batterries and trying different USB ports, keeping the mouse close etc. Logitech says send it back to them and they will give me a new one. Already tried two new out of the box ones.  I am suspecting the claim that it works with OS10.6 may be unwarrented. Anyone got a clue as to what could be wrong?

    I found this Logitech model of their website.
    It says that ot works with OS X 10.5 and greater.
    It is the old fashioned wireless Infared style model of wireless mice, not Bluetooth.
    The Infared receiver plugs into a available USB port.
    You need to plug the receiver into one of the main powered USB ports on the back of the iMac.
    You can't plug the receiver into one of the keyboard USB ports as there won't be enough power to power the receiver.
    Did you install the latest Logitech Control Center preferences software?
    That may make a difference as to whether it works or not.

  • Wireless mouse/keyboard?

    I'm looking for a good two-button mouse/keyboard to go with my new MacBook Pro. Does anyone have any recommendations?
    Thanks!

    I had this problem twice, each with two different causes and solutions.
    Once, it came from having two different kinds of devices on the same Hub. Apparently there is a difference in low draw and heavy draw USB devices, and having multiple wireless devices on the same hub can SOMETIMES cause a conflict. this I found in my researching on line. In this case, it was a wireless mouse. When i put the mouse reciever on a different, non powered and solo port and off the main hub, the problem solved itself. I don't know enough techie stuff to say what the problem exactly was, but I can recommend trying different combinations of using different ports and hubs and seeing if that helps.
    the other situation was with a kensington keyboard and mouse Wireless Mac Desktop, and this was just last month. Beautiful item, but it kept unsyncing randomly and it drove me crazy! I finally got a hold of tech support at the company. they told me it had been DISCONTINUED from technical errors. So i returned it to the company and was told they would replace it free with the replacement model, that was black instead of white, but otherwise the same feature. The local store is still awaiting the replacement from their supplier, but Im not sure if its kensington or a middle person causing the problem.
    Good luck! I hope I helped.

  • Problems with wireless mouse, keyboard

    Since last year, I've been trying to get the Apple wireless mouse and keyboard to work efficiently, without success. Even when both work, they eat batteries voraciously. Moreover, the connection to my G5 is constantly being lost, and is very difficult to reestablish.

    Dear Robert,
    This could be an issue with your bluetooth board. Probably the board is not functioning well or the signals are really weak hence there is a quicker battery drain on both mouse and key board. You can check the settings of the wireless keyboard and mouse on the system preference and check. Also It will be a good idea to reset the PMU once and re-pair the device together.
    Note: Dont mix used and unused batteries , also when testing try new batteries which meet the specification.
    Hope this information is helpful.
    Good Day!

  • Problems with wireless mouse/keyboard after upgrade to snow leopard

    Hi!
    I am wondering if someone has some insight for me.  I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard from Tiger. I have been using a Logitech S 530 wireless keyboard/mouse combo for a few years.  I am now having problems with them irratically.
    1. When on line and the page is large, I often cannot move the blue bar at the bottom of the screen to scroll to the right. What happens is like a stutter; as I am dragging the bar, it and the page shake rapidly side-to-side. Sometimes, I can drag it to the right, but as soon as I let go, it snaps back to the left.  This does not happen in Word.
    2. When in boxes with dropdown options, only occasionally does that happen.  The dropdown either doesn't show, or it flashes quickly.  Sometimes it will work after clicking many times. This happens with dropdown menus as well as search boxes that have dropdown choices for previous searches or suggested searches a la Google.
    3. When I use my function key or mouse to display all windows, I can't choose the one I want.  Regardless of which one I put my cursor over, only the left-most one is highlighted and comes to the front when I click.
    4. There is a varying lag. Sometimes the system is responsive, and other times there is a lag of varying lengths before the system responds to the mouse action (click, drag, zoom, etc.)
    5. For a while, my left mouse button wouldn't work.  I reconfigured it, that seems to have done the trick.
    6. Today, I can't open any of the menu items on Firefox.  I can move the cursor there, but when I click on any of them, nothing happens. This is okay in Safari.
    I have disconnected and reconnected the usb, restarted the computer, and tried to reinstall the software for the mouse and keybord. When I did that, I got a message saying it couldn't install on the current OS, so I went to Logitech and dowloaded and installed the latest version (which indicated it is for OS X 10.6.8.)
    I don't know if this is a Snow Leopard problem, but it started sometime after I upgraded.  Thanks in advance for any help!
    Donna

    Update all your third party software  or uninstall and reinstall 10.6 versions.
    If your going to 10.7, be warned a lot of software will not work at all and your 10.5 era machine will be slow, perhaps even have problems as 10.7 is problematic on older hardware.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    IMO save for a new 10.8 machine after this summer.
    See #1-15 here, tune yourself up good.

  • Logitech wireless mouse doesn't work with Linux 3.10

    When I rebooted after updating to the 3.10 kernel my mouse stopped working. The cursor is displayed but it doesn't move. I downgraded back to 3.9.9-1 and it works fine again. As far as I could see it was detecting it in the dmesg output, so I'm not sure of the cause (maybe just a regression in the driver). I've never had any problems with this mouse before.
    The mouse is a Logitech M515 connected wirelessly with a Logitech Unifying receiver.
    This is the dmesg line (on 3.9.9):
    logitech-djreceiver 0003:046D:C52B.0003: hiddev0,hidraw0: USB HID v1.11 Device [Logitech USB Receiver] on usb-0000:00:14.0-2/input2

    Mine works fine with Logitech Anywhere MX, never noticed any problems. Is this still an issue?
    According to the bug report, Logitech Anywhere MX should be broken I guess. If you need any info dumped to figure out why it's working for some, tell me what you need.

    ( I have a keyboard attached to the same unifying receiver. Paired them up using a windows laptop. Maybe that's the difference? I guess pairing hardware to the receiver using logitech software could theoretically mess with... uhm... magical internal mapping stuff that I have no idea how it works? Ok, I'll stop guessing making things up now ,  good luck with the bug :3 )

  • X-Fi OEM, LCDSmartie, Logitech wireless mouse & keybo

    Hello,?I went through the posts here and have seen what problems there seem to be. Nevertheless I went ahead and bought a X-Fi OEM (HP as far as I can determine) from ebay which was a lot cheaper than the other OEM's I had seen. I used to have a Audigy platinum ex before for the last fi've or six years. I uninstalled the Audigy and the drivers + used driver claener pro to get the last remenants of the old drivers off. Installed the X-Fi, installed the modified original driver and update. Connected everything up and all that and thought I was fine. The card seemed to work fine and all that but I was mistaken. Whenever I play a video of any kind I loose my wireless keyboard and mouse after a short while that is connected via PS/2 also?another wireless Logitech mouse that is connect via USB continues to work. When that happen I?can only get it back after?a restart. LCDSmartie seems to stop and hang up at a random interval and also will only work again after a restart but only for a short time before the same behaviour happens again. Anybody got an idea of what I can do to get this all working probably together?By the way my specs are:?ABit UL8 with bios version .2 (Chipset drivers v 2.20)AMD64 3500+ GB Generic DDR400EIO IDE Raid in PCI Slot 2X-FI OEM in PCI Slot 4?Win XP Pro SP2?Sys Info shows that the X-Fi isn't sharing any IRQ??

    While all the above post are true and correct some OEM versions of Extreme Music will not be recognized by the vista installation cd. (mine would not) I would sugest downloading the ISO version. that way all it costs you is some time and a disc...Good Luck

  • What is the best wireless mouse/keyboard combo for the Mac mini.

    Right now I'm using a Logitech k360 keyboard/mouse combo that works great on my pc but it's horrible on my Mac mini. I'm even debating whether I should return the Mac mini because I think something may be wrong with it. Also, my Mac mini is inside of my entertainment center which has a glass door on it, could this be part of the problem?

    This should be no issue whatsoever.  I have a very similar setup
    with the Mini inside and enternainment center w/glass doors.
    Just make sure there is enough room to have sufficient air flow
    around it.
    Is yours constucted out of wood or metal?
    ....I'm even debating whether I should return the Mac mini because I think something may be wrong with it.
    Are the keyboard mouse issues the only issue or is there
    something else in addition to that?
    What exatly do you mean by working horrible?  Just what is
    actually going on when you use them.  As I see on the website
    Logitech only specs Windows OSes, it could be a driver issue.
    Also, if this is the new Mini, do you have external USB3.0 drives
    connected to it?  There have been issues with Bluetooth, however
    the Logitech specs do not state that it is Bluetooth but could
    still be affected.

  • IMac wireless mouse/keyboard unavailable after awakening from sleep - OS X 10.10.3

    I am using an iMac21 inch late 2012. Has been working perfectly until I upgraded to OS X 10.10.3. Now when the iMac wakes from sleep neither the mouse or keyboard are connected. The only recourse is to force a hard restart with the power button.
    i have tried the following to no avail:
    SMC reset
    PRAM/NVRAM reset
    reboot (reconnects until computer sleeps & reawakens)
    bluetooth off/on
    repaired Bluetooth devices
    Removed & reconfigured devices
    I have set sleep (in Energy Preferences) to wait indefinitely & that has 'resolved' my issue. Albeit with an increase in energy use. Of course this isn't a fix.
    I Would be grateful if anybody had some tips on how to resolve this situation.
    thanks

  • Logitech wireless mouse issues

    I know there has been quite a few threads about problems with Logitech peripherals not working properly with Yosemite, and I have read them all.  I figured I would throw this out there see if anyone has had this specific issue or any solutions.
          I use the same logitech M325 usb mouse and receiver on 2 different macs. The mouse and receiver work fine on my MBP 15" retina, even after upgrading to Yosemite.
       On my Early 2009 Mac Pro, the problem cropped up on the second day after the Yosemite upgrade.  Without the Logitech Control center software, any mouse click would bring up the dashboard.  the cursor would move but I couldn't select anything. After I installed the latest Logitech Control Center software, I can use the mouse and buttons, but the "hover" function does not.  I hide the dock on my desktop and I have to click on the side near it to make it appear rather than just moving the cursor like I did previously.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the LCC software, tried uplugging and re-plugging the receiver.  Nothing fixes it.
        I find this strange since that seems like it ought to be a function of the system software, not a mouse driver issue. When I plug in my old hardwired apple mouse everything works as it should.  It's been a few weeks now, and I haven't seen any updates from apple or logitech.....
    Has anyone had any more luck getting their mouse to work correctly?

    I am having similar issues with the LX7. I found that these issues are usually fixed by unplugging and replugging the USB receiver. Though, it is still a hassle and it continues to affect productivity.

  • Losing Wireless Mouse & Keyboard Settings on Restart

    Every time I restart my MacBook Pro, I lose my settings for my wireless mighty mouse and the set functions for buttons like F12 (Dashboard) etc. I have to reselect them periodically, sometimes twice before restarting. I noticed two ButtonManager.app items on my login items N067U and N124U. Could that be the problem?

    I've got the same issue. Any solutions?
    thanks.
