Macbook Compatability with Microsoft 3000 mouse

Unable to get mouse to work with Macbook OSX 10.6. Is mouse compatible with Macbook

I can't say for sure about a 3000 mouse, but I recently bought a Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000 to use with my Mac mini running 10.6.4 and I found that the disc supplied did not have the most up to date software. The 'check for new software' (buried in the Microsoft mouse preferences, not the Apple 'Software Update...' ) claimed there were no new versions available.
However, when I went to http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/ and looked in Download Software I found a newer version. After downloading and installing it the mouse works well.
There are several types of 3000 mice listed, 'IntelliPoint 7.1 for Mac' is recommended for the ones I just checked on (also my 5000, which came with 7.0). Have a look there for your exact model, and see if the download is different than the supplied software.
Good luck,

  • Yosemite compatibility with microsoft word 2008

    I had held off on upgrading to Mavericks because of the issues surrounding the compatibility with Microsoft Word 2008. I am a student and need to use Word to do my work as well as having all of my current documents, including my thesis, in 2008 format. I don't want to risk losing the information or the ability to do my work and I was wondering if there is any information about whether the issue of compatibility with this version had been fixed. I don't have the means to buy a new version of Microsoft but would very much like to be able to update my system since I am still using Mountain Lion.

    There has been a better and free alternative to old versions of MS Word and MS Office since forever. Apache OpenOffice 4.1.1 is the latest version of a free and complete All-In-One document processor, spreadsheet, drawing, presentation, database, & formula software, found here: http://www.openoffice.org
    It also reads, writes and translates MS Word, saves in many formats, and is pretty easy to use. It's entirely modern and compatible with all the latest Mac operating systems. Good luck.

  • Report Generation Toolkit Compatibility with Microsoft Office 2013 and LabVIEW 2012

    Hello community,
    on this page there is shown the Report Generation Toolkit Compatibility with Microsoft Office and LabVIEW.
    In our company we use actually LabView 2012 and it works perfectly with MS Office 2010.
    Has anyone ever tried the "Report Generation Toolkit" of LabVIEW 2012 with MS Office 2013? Does it really not work? Has anyone an emirical value for this topic?

    Hi digital_badger,
    as you sure have seen in the link it is not officially supported by NI, which means to you one of the following things:
    1. You could upgrade your LabVIEW and your Report Gerneration Toolkit to Version 2014 and use MS Office 2013
    2. You could just try it with MS Office 2013 which might work but if it's not working you don't get any support from NI.
    Even if someone tried it already and it worked for him does not mean that it will work on your machines. It is possible that on some of your machines it could work but not on others. Their can be a lot of problems while playing around with unsupported setups.
    3. You could leave your setup as it is and stick to your MS Office 2010.
    I hope I could give you a good answer to your question

    Can a MacBook Pro with Microsoft Office 2008 accept a Windows USB drive?

    You can hook up an USB drive formatted as FAT32 or NTFS(read-only), but it can't read exFAT drives or boot Windows from an USB drive.

  • Plz Help - Issue with Microsoft Comfort Mouse 3000

    Hey everyone..
    Lil story to begin this one. I am a mac user for 2 years, and I love it. I recently got a job doing digital artist/retouching working at a big photo studio in my locale - they use windows xp. After working there for a while, I realized that the mouse control/acceleration on windows is far superior to mac os x (in my opinion, and others as well).
    I went out and bought the Microsoft Comfort Mouse 3000 on recomdendation because it uses the mouse drivers from windows (different acceleration curve). It works fine for movement, yet the software that allows me to assign expose features to the wheel button DOES NOT WORK. Nothing will make it work - it only shows the active windows. If I try to assign dashboard to that button and click ok, it doesnt' work. Even after restarting, it still doesn't work.
    Any suggestions?!?!? (i know it's MS, but this should be working right)

    Yes,
    installing the drivers was the first thing I did. Still does not work - I then uninstalled everything - went snooping on the microsoft site and actually found the intellipoint 6.2.1 drivers, installed those, and the mouse wheel button does still not work
    I can't make it use ANY other feature other than 'show all windows"

  • IPhone trying to mate with Microsoft wireless mouse.

    I know this is hard to believe, but when my iPhone is within 2 feet of my Dell PC, I can move the cursor on the computer. But once the iPhone realizes that it has a captive audience it starts moving through menus, clicking, moving to new items. I thought I was under attack or that the microsoft wireless mouse was going ballistic.
    This doesn't happen on any of my apple products. The fix is just to keep these two animals separated.

    If you drag to another folder it moves.  If you drag to another disk, it copies.
    This can be modified by certain control keys:
    Command key while dragging
    Move dragged item to other volume/location (pointer icon changes while key is held--see this article)
    Option key while dragging
    Copy dragged item (pointer icon changes while key is held--see this article)
    Option-Command key combination while dragging
    Make alias of dragged item (pointer icon changes while key is held--see this article)
    See Finder shortcuts here:

  • InDesign compatibility with microsoft publisher ?

    Hi,
    I am considering switching to InDesign. I have projects that have been created with microsoft Publisher. I don't want to lose what I have created. Are these files compatible with InDesign ? If so how do I go about converting them
    Thanks

    Even if you use a converter tool from markzware or someone else you should create new files from the scratch as both programs work very different. You might need some training classes. But I would recommend to change to InDesign as this program is far superior to Publisher and can produce much better PDFs. It is worthy to learn it.
    If you use converted files you might run into unexpected problems.

  • SmartView 11.1.2.1 x64 compatibility with Microsoft Office 2010 x64

    The SmartView 11.1.2.1 x64 is compatible with Microsoft Office 2010 x64?
    After installing SmartView, Microsoft Excel does not recognize this supplement

    11.1.2.2.300 the latest release of Smart View does support Office 64 bit. You can download the latest version here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/smart-view-for-office/downloads/index.html or on My Oracle Support.
    Remember SV is backwards compatible so the client version does not need to match the server version.

  • Solution Manager 4.0 compatibility with Microsoft office 2007

    Is there any OSS notes which says that Solution Manager 4.0 is supported with Microsoft Office 2007?

    Hello Mitesh,
    There is no such SAP note which can provide you information on Solution Manager and Office 2007.
    The closest and the most useful note would be SAP note 722513.

  • Does 13 ince MacBook work with wireless Mighty Mouse?

    Can anyone tell me if they are able to connect up a wireless mouse to their MacBook. Maybe a mighty mouse. Or any other, it would be handy.
    Thanks,
    j

    I use the bluetooth Mighty Mouse and love it. As far as I'm concerned it is well worth the money.
    No matter what wireless mouse you get I recommend mouse zoom to help control the cursor speed.

  • 13" Macbook Pro compatibility with Microsoft Office

    I just purchased a 13" Macbook Pro.  Can I load Microsoft Office 2007 professional on this device?

    Not unless you run Windows. Office 2007 is a Windows suite. For the Mac you need to purchase Office 2011 for Mac OS X - www.mactopia.com.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

    Please let us know if there are any known issues when we run WebLogic Portal 10.2 on Microsoft Windows 7 or if there is any patch that we need to install along with WebLogic Portal 10.2 to make it work on Windows 7.
    Thanks for your support.
    Thanks,

    Then hit "Go". On the resulting screen, select BEA WebLogic Media Pack. On the resulting list of products, search for WebLogic Portal 10.2. It should be listed and downloadable. (two different entries, one for the GA version and one for Maintenance Pack 1)

  • Compatibility with Microsoft OneDrive?

    Is there any chance Adobe will add import from Microsoft OneDrive to Photoshop Mix, like it has with Dropbox?
    I have 1TB of OneDrive storage - as an Office 365 subscriber - so it's where I am consolidating all of my cloud files. I don't want to pay for Dropbox as well.

    "What are the likely compatability issues sharing files with PC users"
    Virtually none. Office files are Office files, no matter what platform they were created on. They both use the same file format.
    You should probably post your question Microsoft's own Office:Mac discussion forums:

  • Smart View add in 11.1.1.3 Compatibility with Microsoft Office 365

    Our organization is looking to move to Microsoft Office 365. Is there any compatibility issues with the Smart View add in version 11.1.1.3? I checked the certification documents, but they do not mention anything about Office 365.

    Office 365 Web Apps are not supported and cannot be supported as there is no platform for add-in's in that environment. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13602
    Most Office 365 uses cases and users end up with Office installed on the desktop and at that point we are talking about normal Office Support. Right now it is up to the Office 365 administrator to determine the version of Office to be used by their 365 users. http://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-enterprises/ff637585.aspx
    Short answer is that Smart View does not support Office 365 Web Apps and there are no plans to support the Web Apps.
