Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse 5000 with Leopard

Hi All,
First post here, so be gentle!!!
I bought a MS bluetooth optical mouse 5000, after i saw MS were marketing the same mouse on their website for mac (exactly the same product as the windows version) in a diff box.
I seem to have issues with the intellipoint software, as such that is doesnt know the mouse is connected.
The mouse is paired, and works OK, but just as a 2 button mouse.
If i plug in my Wireless MS mouse, there is an option to select the mouse model i have, and the machine knows the mouse is connected, but using the bluetooth mouse, none of these options are available.
My leopard install is fully up to date with system updates, and am using latest intellipoint software
Any ideas??
Thanks

  • Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse 5000 on MacBook Pro?

    Hi, I wondered if anyone uses a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000, on MacBook Pro? I have read some people using it fine, but some have also had issues (driver issue?). Just wanted to know if it worked well on Snow Leopard? Thanks.

    no issue...some keymapping sissues but no driveer issue

  • Microsoft bluetooth mouse 5000

    Has anyone tried this mouse on the Macbook Pro? I'm wondering how it compares with other mice and looking for a portable yet functional solution. I need something that allows 3 button functionality for use with Autodesk Maya but also works well with OS X Leopard. Currently the Mighty Mouse while functional doesn't really meet my needs and is not as ergonomic as I would like in a portable mouse.

    I haven't tried that one but the first thing I bought to expand the function of my new MacBook pro was a Logitech VX Nano Mouse.
    http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/mice/devices/3271&cl=us,en
    I thoroughly endorse it and there are Mac specific downloadable drivers which are great (I quit using USB Overdrive in favor of the Logitech drivers.
    I purchased mine from PC Connection as it had a $30 rebate offer which cut the final price in half.
    http://www.pcconnection.com/IPA/Shop/Product/Detail.htm?sku=7885905
    I should add that I also have used a Microsoft Wireless Optical 3000 which I also liked a great deal but the Logitech has a tiny receiver which goes into a USB port and stays there even in tight fitting sleeves, five programmable buttons as well as a tilting scroll wheel with a very nice action and there's a little embedded On/Off switch on the bottom of the mouse to save battery life. It is an extremely well engineered mouse.

  • Unable to connect to bluetoothe mouse (microsoft notebook mouse 5000) because of missing passcode

     whn i pair my mouse i need a passcode. i do not have the box of the mouse becuase it is really old, how do i connect without a psscode or what is the passcode?

    See Microsoft KB952818
    A Microsoft Bluetooth mouse does not require a passkey to connect to the computer.
    If you are prompted for a passkey, select No passkey. If you do not get the
    No Passkey option, try to enter 0000 as a passkey by using your keyboard.

  • Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse Thumb Button

    I'm the new owner of a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz that I just bought today. Along with it, I purchased the Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse which moves and operates beautifully. The only thing is that I can't figure out a way to program the thumb button. I've seen some complaints on the web from people from a few months back who were unable to resolve the issue. I was hoping someone here could shed some light for me.
    Thanks for your thoughts and time.

    I don't know what is happening with the forum but the images are not opening and I'm unable to edit my post, so I'm uploading them again:

  • Microsoft bluetooth mouse & satellite P30 series

    I bought a microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth with an adapter USB BlueTooth.
    I put the adapter and bluetooth connection works ok. I was able to communicate with my mobile phone.
    But not my new mouse. On another computer it works fine. On mine I can'y install the driver. When I search for mouse, on bluetooth devices, it is recognized, but when I open again bluetooth devices, it isn't show.
    The driver for TouchPad is overwrited with PS2 IntelliMouse ... and my mouse is not working.
    Can anybody help me?

    Hi
    Unfortunately, its not easy to say why it doesnt work.
    Does the other computer has a touchpad or a extra mouse driver?
    Maybe there are some conflicts with the touchpad driver. You can try to remove the touchpad driver (Alps Touch pad Driver) and then try to test the Microsoft Bluetooth mouse. Maybe after this procedure the mouse will work properly.
    Bye

  • Solution for MS Bluetooth Mouse 5000 pairing problem

    I had a problem with my MS bluetooth mouse 5000 pairing with my MacBook that I thought I should share. When I first bought the mouse, it paired with no problem at all. But after about 2 weeks it disconnected for some unknown reason. Thinking it was a problem with the mouse, I replaced the batteries, and even exchanged it for a new mouse. After going through the Mac bluetooth pairing process and trying out a number of solutions I saw posted on various bluetooth subjects, I could not get it to work - during the pairing process, it came up with various errors indicating that the pairing process failed.
    Finally, from another post, I did the following:
    - removed all references to the mouse in the bluetooth list under Open Bluetooth Preferences.
    - I then did a PRAM reset per Apple's suggested procedure (Command-Option-P-R during start up).
    Once this completed, I was able to get my mouse to successfully pair with my MacBook.

    I had the same problem. The cure is to boot off of the OSX DVD and when it attempts to find a mouse hold down the connect button on the bottom of the mouse. Keep holding it down until OSX recognizes the mouse. It may take a minute or two. After the mouse has been recognized you can exit before the installation requires software to be transferred. Then just select a normal reboot on the exit menu option.

  • Wacom or Bluetooth Mouse issues with most recent Beta??

    Wacom or Bluetooth Mouse issues with most recent Beta??
    All I was wondering if anyone was having issues with Lightrooms beta and pointing devices… while I’m sure the Wacom Introus4 is dying in Lightroom I can’t verify that my Mouse is as well.
    I’m using the most recent Beta of Lightroom and Wacom Tablet Driver 615-3a… I’m sure the issue dosent reside with another program because the tablet only stops working in Lightroom. Basically I loose all tablet functionality until I reboot whin I attempt to access the Film Strip… I’ve repeated a few times and with each it dies…

    Unfortunately, although you are getting problems with your Wacom and Lr, the solution for the short term is to re-install an older driver for the tablet until Wacom come up with a new update to fix the prolem. This has been a long running problem for users when operating Lr with Wacom tablets.
    (I offer this solution not from personal experience, but from what other tablet users have reported in previous threads, and there have been several).

  • Microsoft notebook mouse 5000 doesn't connect anymore

    My microsoft notebook bluetooth mouse always connect right away while opening my White MacBook but now, with my unibody MBP, it doesn't want to connect at all when I open the lid
    any sujestions?
    Regards

    Did you pair the mouse with the MBPro?
    To set up a Bluetooth device to work with your computer:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and then click Bluetooth.
    Open Bluetooth preferences
    Click Add +
    Choose the type of device you want to set up and follow the onscreen instructions.
    If you don’t see Bluetooth in System Preferences, your computer is not Bluetooth enabled.
    To find out more, open the Bluetooth File Exchange (in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder) and choose Help > Bluetooth Help.
    Also, try replacing the batteries in the mouse.

  • Bluetooth Mouse in Vista & Leopard

    I need one Bluetooth mouse that connects, pairs up and remains connected in both operating environments. Mighty Mouse can't stay setup for both and Mac tech support is aware of the problem. heir suggested workaround is impractical. Has anyone had a satisfactory experience with a third party Bluetooth mouse?

    Answering my own question after much frustrating searching around...
    I have finally got my Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 working under both OS X and Boot Camp (Windows XP). Here's what I had to do:
    1. Edit the \WINDOWS\inf\bth.inf file to add the following (note: the \inf subdirectory is hidden, so you'll need to turn on hidden files in the Tools -> Folder Options -> View in Windows Explorer)
    - under Manufacturer:
    Apple=Apple, NT.5.1
    - under Devices:
    [Apple.NT.5.1]
    Apple Bluetooth Radio= BthUsb, USB\Vid05ac&Pid8205
    2. Download a small app called hid2hci.exe. I found it here:
    http://blog.netnerds.net/code/hid2hci.zip
    Put it in a directory somewhere and run it as follows
    hid2hci.exe 0x5AC 1000
    You should then have your device detected and be ready to pair it.

  • Kensington Bluetooth Mouse Problem With 10.4.3

    After updating to 10.4.3, which updated bluetooth from 1.6 to 1.66, Kensington Mouseworks 2.8 no longer works with any of my Kensington bluetooth mice. A Kensington USB mouse works fine.
    Neither Apple nor Kensington was able to resolve this. Any ideas how to fix this until Kensington updates their drivers ?

    Original message was to Kensington:
    I can set up my device - discoverable - pairing and so on, but cannot get to the settings - fast, slow, scrolling, chording, etc. As a matter of fact when I select mouseworks under my system prefrences I get a window saying that there are no Kensington pointing devices found, but yet I'm using the device. The tracking speed of the cursor is uncontrollable at times. I am running OSX 10.4.3. Any help would be appreciated, otherwise I render this mouse to have a mind of it's own and not too useful to me.
    Their reply:
    Thank you for contacting Kensington Technical Support.
    As per the latest update from the concerned department, it has been observed that there are few compatibility issues between Mouseworks software and Bluetooth mouse on Mac OS X 10.4.3. Unfortunately, you are facing the same issue.
    However, it has been proved that the issue is not with Kensington software and Apple is working towards releasing a patch for this.
    Any solutions to date would be of great help.

  • Problems with HP Bluetooth Mouse x4000b with HP Elitebook laptop

    Hi - I bought an HP EliteBook laptop earlier this year and a few months ago purchased a HP Bluetooth Mouse x4000b (after losing a different mouse during travel).  I've had terrible problems, almost since the beginning, with the mouse just not working.  Sometimes it works if I switch the batteries (flip the positions of the existing ones) but that tends to last only for a short time.  I replaced the originally batteries (which were supposedly good for 9 months) after just 3 months; and have just replaced the replacements and the problem is still unsolved.  I've checked the drivers; I can't find a power setting for Bluetooth on my HP laptop (someone with a Dell had that).  I've turned the mouse off, rebooted, turned the mouse on and reconnected; I've tried turning the mouse off and on again; I've tried to ensure that the batteries are in snugly with the plastic piece that sits over that batteries inserted as far back into the body of the mouse as possible (replicating the setup that I found when I first opened the mouse up to deal with this problem).  Any suggestions?  Or can anyone suggest a better mouse?

    Hello ayd135,
    It is helpful if you would post the full model number of your Elitebook please.
    Read through this HP Bluetooth manual to see how to use the HP Wireless assistant to help troubleshoot issues.
    http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c01948661
    Read through the info above first and try the steps.
    If this still does not solve the problem, then it sounds like you have a faulty mouse considering the battery issue you described. In which case, the only fix would be to replace the mouse.
    Pundravac,
    Even though you have an Elitebook also, your's could be a completely different issue. Did you install all the latest drivers for your old XP machine after installing Windows 7 on it?
    Please post your question in a new thread and post the full model number of that laptop also.
    Thank you.

  • Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse problems with new macbook pro.

    Got a Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse to use with my recent 2011 macbook pro running 10.6.7.  There appear to be several problems with this combination.
    1. If the mouse is not moved for a few seconds and I move it, the pointer does not respond immediately, and when it does, the pointer motion stutters and jerks across the screen for a few seconds before it starts moving smoothly. I don't see any spike in CPU usage when this happens.
    2. When I shutdown/reboot or sometimes even put the macbook pro to sleep and wake it up, the machine fails to communicate with the mouse, nothing happens even if I reset/restart the mouse or click, scroll or move it around. The only fix is to go to the bluetooth settings and set it up as a new device.
    I suspected a hardware problem on either the mouse or the mac, but (a) the mouse works perfectly fine on an older Sony Vaio laptop and (b) the apple wireless keyboard works pretty fine with none of these problems with my macbook. Would getting an apple magic mouse magically solve this problem?
    Has anyone else faced this situation, and could it be fixed?

    Any issues you are having with a "Logitech" product, should be dealt with their tech/customer support department.
     

  • Any bluetooth mouse compatable with Ipad Air?

    Is there a brand bluetooth mouse that works with Ipad Air?

    No. Apple does think a mouse is necessary with a touch screen

  • Will my current Microsoft Office disks work with Leopard?

    Hi!
    I am currently using a Macbook with Mac OS Tiger, and I am looking at getting Mac OS Leopard. What I was wondering is if my Microsoft office disks will still be compatible with Mac OS Leopard like they are on OS Tiger?
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    (Please note: I am not expecting miracles here. If it won't work, it won't work, I am not going to be upset about it.)

    Alycia --
    Office X works fine, as well, with Leopard.
    I think you're in good shape.
