Microsoft mouse not working

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion on my Early 2008 24-inch iMac, the Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 2.0 doesn't work. Is anyone else having this problem?

Hi, suspect is any on apple kext.
I Pram REst doesn't work...
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Windows 8.1 freeze on any hardware scan or changes. USB wireless keyboard mouse not working

Problem : System Freezes frequently on any hardware scan or changes.
Symptom : Wireless Keyboard Mouse not working.
Caused by : VMkbd.sys located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers.
Issue : VMware player or VMware Workstation installed on Windows 8.1 causes compatibility issue leading to system freeze
Soultion : Please follow steps below
Step 1: Start > run > regedit
Step 2: Locate to this registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e96b-e325-11ce-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Step 3: On the left side plane, Right click on the registry {4d36e96b-e325-11ce-BFC1-08002BE10318} and then export it as backup. Just to be safe.
Step 4: Edit the UpperFilters, The value current would be kdbclass vmkbd. Remove the vmkbd. So only value left would be kbdclass.
Step 5: Restart your system and connect your USB wireless reciever. If all is well it will not freeze your windows now.
This worked for me. Hope this works for you. Enjoy..!!

Magic mouse not working in mountain lion

magic mouse not working in mountain lion....What can I do?

Have you tried a fresh set of Alkaline Batteries?
Was it ever paired to another divice?

Mouse not working in open applications

Mouse not working properly on menu bar in certain applications: Text Edit, Calendar, Notes. You can hover over the red X but it will not close the application. Also unable to click on a text form and drop the cursor in to edit or copy text. Can open preference box but uanable to navigate because mouse will not click. Have to now use keyboard to open and close most applications. Virus? Setting that got magically turned on? Have powered down, checked batteries, etc.

This is not due to a virus, or any other kind of malware.
First, is this a wired mouse or a Bluetooth mouse? If it's a Bluetooth mouse, try changing the batteries, even if they should be fully charged.
Have you tried a different mouse? If not, try that. Borrow one from a friend or buy a cheap wired mouse and see if that makes a difference.
If the problem affects all mice, try restarting in safe mode. Does the problem happen while in that mode? If not, and if it comes back when you restart normally, then you have some kind of third-party software that is causing the problem. The trick will be figuring out what it is.

Mouse not working when reinstalling OS X with install disk

I am trying to reinstall OS X 10.3 on iMAC G5 after a hard drive crash with the help of the original install disks, but my wireless mouse does not work anymore. Any ideas how I can solve this or go through the installation process with the keyboard alone? I couldn't find a keyboard shortcut to tab from a list in a window to the select button...

How is your mouse not working? Is it dead?
Is the wireless mouse a Mighty Mouse or a 3rd party mouse?
Does you mouse need batteries?
*Just in case it's dirty:*
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302417 How to clean your Mighty Mouse
Take a piece of bright white paper, turn the mouse upside down on it, press down on the ball, and run the mouse quickly in circles over the paper. This will remove all the gunk that's building up on the ball
TIP: To get to the gook inside the scroll nipple use a plastic toothpick.
"Other Options:" Wear latex disposable gloves. A box of same can be purchased from your local Dollar Store or Pharmacy.
Some cell phone leather cases actually fit right over the Mighty Mouse.
Clean/wipe the Mighty Mouse off with a damp cloth/rag prior to going to bed each evening.
Some users have found using the small alcohol pads quite successful. These can be obtained from any drug/pharmacy or Dollar Store.
Only do the following if your warranty has run out:
Cleaning inside and dismantling the Apple Mighty Mouse
If so, then I suggest (if your 1 year warranty is not up and/or you have Apple Care Protecton Plan) you call Apple Tech Support & ask for a replacement.

How and why did you install that? What steps did you take in that process. I can then help with some steps to undo them.

Keyboard and mouse not working

This question was solved.

Thanks for the information, that is exactly what I needed.
If you are having the enter issue when using the wired KB from your old computer that sounds software related with the blog site.
What web browser do you use when on that website?
Connect your wireless equipment back and if you continue to have the issue with the letters repeating then you should inquire about a replacement for what is referred to as "sticky keys". With it being a new unit this shouldn't be an issue.
Let me know if you have other questions.

Ultraslim wireless keyboard and mouse not working

Hi , I purchased the Lenovo Ultraslim Wireless Keyboard & Mouse (pn: 57Y4700) about 4 months ago for use with my T60 laptop (which i use with a docking station and large lenovo monitor at work).
Everything was woking fine until last Monday when I can into work after the weekend and neither the mouse or keyboard worked. I replaced the batteries in both, rebooted the machine several time, switch the USB ports for the nano receiver, but nothing seems to have worked.
I looked online for troubleshooting options, but did not find anything.
The mouse and keyboard don't seem to have a "sych" button - if I recall correctly everything worked right out of the box.
My theory is that the nano reciever was damaged (not sure how) -- but don't know how to proceed:
can the nano reciever be replaced;
any other options to troubleshoot;
any chance that this could be a software problem
Thanks

How about telling us how your keyboard & mouse are not working? Are both using batteries or are they wired? If batteries, have you checked and/or changed them? Keyboard & mouse Apple's or 3rd party? If you are still under warranty and/or have AC, call them & let Apple deal w/your problems.
If possible, try another keyboard & mouse?
Please detail ALL you have done so far in the way of troubleshooting? Need this info to avoid the been there done that scenarios.
================
When posting in Apple Communties/Forums/Message Boards.......It would help us to know which iMac model you have, which OS & version you're using, how much RAM, etc. You can have this info displayed on the bottom of every post by completing your system profile and filling in the information asked for.

Microsoft Arc Mouse not working with my Windows Xp home computer

I bought the MS Arc Mouse yesterday and plugged the USB into my home computer and nothing happened. I didn't get a popup saying "new hardware recognized" or anything and the mouse did not work. I tried the mouse in my mom's laptop and it worked instantly... does this mouse work for home computers? Why isn't it responding?

Unplug mouse.
Download driver: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=MK (You need to select operating system, etc).
Install driver, and replug in mouse.
If it does not work at that point, establish that you are plugging it into back USB ports rather then front (as sometimes front USB ports are not powered). Also, try rebooting and changing ports.

Mouse not working after latest Microsoft updates for Vista

After installing the latest series of Windows updates for Microsoft Vista on my Boot Camp installation, the mouse quit working. I am using a mighty mouse, but any mouse plugged in resulted in an error message that it could not install the correct drivers. Re-installing the boot camp drivers did not work, but using system restore to roll back the updates did work. I was wondering if anyone knew which Microsoft update caused this to occur? If you need any further information, let me know.

To be honest, I'm not sure. I was trying to get Reset Points working (oh the timing) and it required me to install updates to reboot, so I simply did that. From what I was able to gather from people running WIN8 on non-apple machines it is often related to changes in intel xhci. Not sure how that relates to a Mac though.

Cordless mouse not working

G5 using OSX 10.4.11
I have a Microsoft cordless mouse that was working but stopped. Arrow freezes on screen. A few times I removed battery and mouse worked until mouse was lifted from pad then stopped working at all. I have a Logitech cordless mouse that the arrow moves but the blinking bar stays stuck in the browser bar and you cannot click and use it anywhere else on the screen. The stock plug in Mac mouse that came with computer works fine. I tried different USB ports for plugging in both cordless mouse. Not working. All worked fine until computer crashed a week ago.
Ideas? Thanks!

No mouse appears in Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items. Microsoft mouse does not come with any drivers, you just plug in USB adapter and use. I do not think the Logitech came with a disk either. I searched Hard drive for logitech file and see none. I am at a loss.
Logitech mouse left click stopped working, restarted computer and did not work at all after that (last week). Began to use Microsoft cordless and that worked for a week and now it is frozen.
I do not have either LCCScrollEnhancer.ape from the Applications Enhancer folder in the user's library anywhere on my computer.

Bootcamp Windows 7 bluetooth mouse not working

From my macbook air with bootcamp windows 7 my bluetooth mouse is not working. It was working before and it still works fine under mac os but I don't know why it's not working anymore under Windows 7. I also tried to find bluetooth from control panel or device manager but bluetooth is not showing. Anyone can help me to solve this problem? Thanks.

getting blue tooth device to work after install
iMac 21.5 inch OS X Lion (10.8.4), Bootcamp 5 install of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
At the end of my install, I noticed that Bootcamp was not available from Windows (e.g., no hidden taskbar
icon). Other issues with missing USB drivers. Magic mouse worked ok, except the trackpad-like swiping
features were absent. Ran setup in the BootCamp folder of the thumb drive (not the setup in the thumb
drive's root directory), which indicated it was a continuing install (guess somehow the first one stopped
prematurely), installed all the special Apple etc. drivers for the Bootcamp interface with Windows.
After restart, all the troubleshooter warnings for USB devices had cleared, but Magic mouse was not
communicating with system.
Attached a standard Microsoft optical USB mouse.
Then, in Windows control panel > devices and printers:
right clicked the magic mouse's icon (was labeled apple-username's mouse)
selected Services tab
(Bluetooth Services refreshes, then shows checkbox for Drivers for keyboard, mice, etc (HID))
check the checkbox
Windows installs the driver and the magic mouse works with all its features in Windows.
incidentally, noticed that had lots of internet cutouts with both wi-fi and lan connected. maybe an issue
with my ISP, don't know, although issue only apparent in Windows, not Mac OS X.
