Mac Mouses

Has mac ever made a mouse that would work with a mini, that has a scroll wheel to let you scroll up and down?

Apple have never made a traditional two-button, scroll wheel mouse, but they do make a somewhat unusual version that has two buttons and a scroll 'ball' which does the same thing.
Have a look in the Apple store for 'Mighty Mouse'. I can't say I was a big fan until I'd had a play with one for a while, and now I use one at work and another at home.
On the other hand, many companies make standard two-button scroll wheel mice which work very well with Apple Macs, including the mini. Have a look at Logitech for example.

Mac mouse stop working properly on new macbook pro

Since recently purchasing a new 13" Macbook Pro my mac mouse is not scrolling properly or responding to any gestures. I have tried almost every possible fix without success. Can anyone help, pleeeease. This is very frustrating. Feel like throwing this apparently useless mouse out and buying a non-Apple unit instead.

Try resetting rthe PRAM.
By the way, "I have tried almost every possible fix without success" is not useful information. Without knowing what you tried, you will probably get a lot of useless information.

New iMac using supplied Mac Mouse

When I was using my iBook with Tiger, I used a Logitech Mouse which had left and right clickers and scroll wheel. Now I'm using the supplied white Mac mouse (single click with scroll) that came with my iMac, and Leopard. With the Logitech, I could highlight a word holding down the left click, then move the cursor to the highlighted word, and hold down the right clicker, and a scroll down had dictionary. When moved to dictionary, and let go, the dictionary would show that word. Also, if I held down the right click on a blank area of a web page, the scroll down had "back" and "forward" etc., thus I could go back a page. Now I have to move my cursor to the arrows at the top left of the page to go backward, or forward. Do I have to get my old Logitech out again to do this, or is there some kind of set up that would enable the above shortcuts? Thank you for any help. pdm

The Apple mouse does have left and right click, but you have to enable it in the "Keyboard & Mouse" system preferences. (If right-click is not enabled, you can press Control while left-clicking.) When using right-click on the Apple mouse, be sure your finger is lifted from the left side of the mouse.

MAC Mouse and Keyboard Do Not Work, when I am trying to re-install the OS using "Command R" option

I am trying to re-install MAC OS 10.8.2, but when I hold "command R" I am asked for the firmware password, but the keyboard and mouse do not work.
If I only select "option" during the boot up process it will ask me for the firmware password, keyboard and mouse work, but I can only select the HD option.
Can someone advise what is the problem here, and your resolution.
I have tried different commands "option + command + R' with no luck.

I tried what was provided on the link, but it is not working.
I hold it down, before the gray screen and the chime, but it only prompts but the firmware password.
I tried based on the specific order in the support document and at a random press and hold.
No go any other thoughts?

How can I control the zoom on my mac mouse?

How can I control the zoom function on my mouse? In the middle of working on things my hand will rub the mouse by accident and all of a sudden the context within the screen is large. I have no idea of how to work this feature on my mouse and most times to get it to return to normal, I have to escape out of the work I am performing.

If you are pressing the "Control" button on the Mac keyboard, scrolling up will zoom in and scrolling down will zoom out. You can disable this if it annoys you through System Preferences > Universal Access. If you are using Mountain Lion, it would be System Preferences > Accessibility.
Uncheck the in the "Seeing" or "Zoom" section that says "Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom". It may be slightly different if you have an older OS X version. I have Mountain Lion and am going off of memory on the older versions.

Mac mouse is too sensitive. Anyone know how to relax it?

Mac wireless mouse is too sensitive and jumps around ahead of me. Anyone know how to slow it down?

I had the same problem, with a new iMac: I was getting a lot of random scrolling, in the middle of editing work, and it was very annoying.
Contacted Apple and they told me to do an SMC (?) reset, which changed nothing.
I then realized that the problem was from an over-sensitive Magic Mouse. Many users seem to complain about this over-sensitivity, especially for newer computers.
So, a while ago, I took the following advice the website at the end of this post.
Control the touch-sensitive area of this mouse with the free app MagicPrefs (not clear why Apple does not provide something this useful):
download it from http://magicprefs.com/ and install
then go to its Preferences
in the new window that opens, click on Configure Scrolling, at the bottom right
you will then see the sensitive area of your mouse
click and drag to reduce that area
I had found that especially touching the edges of the mouse start the random scrolling
so, I made the touch-sensitive area for scrolling very small, and in the top-middle of the mouse, about where the scroll-wheel would be on a normal mouse.
Hope this saves you all a lot of frustration.
P.S. I learned about MagicPrefs from one of these frustrated people

My MAC mouse (connected by wire) requires several clicks at times to open page, site, application, file, etc. How to fix?

New to doing this. Can someone help. As I use my MAC, and open email or outlook, when I move the cursor over an item to click and open that new mail, application, file or other...sometimes I have to click several times for file to open. Anyone help?

There are two possible problems here. The mouse (unless it has been changed) is now quite old. The roller ball clogs up and all manner of dust can get into the insides.
And, unfortunately, they are no longer promoted and although you may pick one up in a store, a Premium reseller is probably a better bet.
Otherwise it is a case of moving to the wireless mouse.
You can try to clean it by first, disconnecting it from the machine / keyboard; then, with some strong alcoholic liquid, dampen (not wet) a cotton bud and poke away at the roller ball for a minute or so. Slightly dampen the bud now and then as you do it. Then, on a clean sheet of white paper vigorously move the mouse in circles of eight on the paper.
You should see dirty marks appear and possibly bits of fluff and detritus. Leave it for ten minutes or so then reconnect your mouse and try again.
Let us know how you get on.

The Mac Mouse Lag (It's the little things)

Has anyone found out how to fix the "lagging mouse" issue on their Mac? Apparently this has been an issue for years. If you're doing trivial things like browsing the web or checking email, you may not notice. But if you're doing more intricate things like programming or graphic designing, that's when it becomes extremely annoying. It really pains me to say this but after spending a few hours on my mac, when I want to get work done, it's refreshing to go back to windows because the mouse is more accurate. Why Apple continues to neglect this is beyond me (guess they're to busy designing the iWatch).
To quote another user "Having a not properly responding mouse drives me nuts! Its like trying to write with a pen while someone pushes my shoulders."
The link below documents the issue...noticed that it was written in 2011.
The cause for all your Mac OS X mouse annoyances
If anyone has any solutions please post.
Thanks in advance

I've been doing more googling on this issue. It appears this problems has been around longer than I thought. That is scary. Apple's inaction is basically saying that they are not going to fix this.
Here's another post written in 2006 documenting the problem. It was posted by a graphic designer describing how his company switch to Macs only to find out how inaccurate the mouse was.

Mac mouse and keyboard

Bluetooth wont work on my mac how can I connect my mouse and keyboard, I have a small USB mouse to make the process but bo keyboard

As I said above I keep a wired mouse as a backup always plugged in. And I use a wired (non-apple) keyboard.
IMO all users of BT mice and keayboards should keep wired versions handy for when bluetooth is having one of its "bad days".

Mac mouse wheel & trackpad--not scrolling in flash fields

In several (probably all) Flash apps, scrollable fields do not respond to my mousewheel or trackpad scrolls. Thoughts?
Running current Snow Leopard, and Flash 10.0.45.2.
Thanks!

Hi hunter, The person that possibly could help you hasn't been on the forum today. I am a newbie when it comes to the
Mac:-) Perhaps he will be on later. He most always replies to the threads that have Mac in their subject line.
Flash Player with a PC is what I understand the best.
If I thot I could have been any help, I would have responded earlier.

Can't Hide Mac Mouse in Parallels Desktop 4.0

I have recently installed parallels desktop 4.0. I am running both Windows XP Pro and Ubuntu 8.10 (not at the same time, but as my other operating systems of choice). I am having problems with the mouse. Whenever I click on the parallels window and start to work inside of the installed operating system, the Macintosh mouse goes to the exact center of the parallels screen and WON'T disappear. How do I hide the Macintosh mouse in parallels? I only want to see one mouse at a time. This is very annoying.
Also, almost equally as annoying, whenever I have parallels open, and when I do want to use Leopard, the Macintosh mouse doesn't work normally. I cannot simply click and drag the mouse over menu bars. Rather, I have to hold the left click button down the whole time in order to get the mouse to behave like it normally does. Does anyone know of a fix for this problem?
Any insights you might have are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nate

Obviously it's not a forbidden topic. However, we are asked to provide support for Apple's products because this website is provided by Apple for Apple product users. You can understand that Apple has no vested interest in our supporting other products. Besides, Parallels has an excellent forum to provide user support, and that should be the appropriate destination to find assistance with their product.
