Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 cannot be paired on Leopard

Hi,
I could connect my Microsoft WLM 8000 on Leopard but I could not pair it. Everything is working fine, including buttons configuration, except when I have to restart my computer... my BT connection brakes and the mouse stops working. Note: I am not using BT receptor that comes with the mouse.
I have tried to set up bluetooth device using all types of passkey configuration (available on any device option) and did not get success on it - always I receive an error message.
Could someone help me on this matter?
Thanks

I've found a band-aid...
1. Go to system preferences then bluetooth;
2. Click on advanced button;
3. Deselect the first option to avoid BT assistant at start-up;
You will need to click 3-4 times until your mouse becomes stable.
I hope somebody finds out a definitive solution.

Cannot pair microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000

Have been trying to pair microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 in Leopard 10.5.6 in a Macbook, the latest Mac Mini & a G4 mini to no avail, all have failed to be paired in the very last step of the bluetooth step up, but were able to do so in boot camp windows, so it should not be the problem with the bluetooth, anyone can help? thanx.....

Have your tried this before

Hi, I tried all the tricks listed here with no luck, but I think I've finally found the solution.
Try using "any device" option, then, when the assistant tries to pair with the device, there's a button called "passkey options", click it and then select the option "Don't use a passkey".
The mouse will pair successfully. Mine is working great on my iMac.

Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 and Leopard/Mac

I wasn't able to get my Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 working under 10.4 but am trying again with Leopard - so far fruitlessly. With the latest version of Intellipoint for Mac (6.2.2) installed, my bluetooth seteup assistant will find the mouse when it's in pairing mode - but when it attempts to pair using an empty passkey it always fails.
Help please!

I just got this mouse and DID successfully PAIR it with my Macbook.
I did these steps.
1. Install Intellipoint 6.2.2
2. Connect it using the supplied dongle. It should work fine.
3. After you have tested it with that, remove the dongle and go to set up bluetooth device from the Bluetooth menu option (enable this in system preferences).
4. On the setup choose Mouse (not Any Device like I saw in some other posts)
5. Click Continue and while it is searching, press and HOLD the pairing button on the mouse. The battery display should be solid green while you are doing this (not green and red). After a few seconds, the display should say "Microsoft Wireless Laser 8000" mouse is found.
6. Click Continue, and it will attempt to connect and pair. Again, press and HOLD the pairing button on the mouse while it is doing this. If successful, it should then show up as paired in the bluetooth pref pane (see image below).

Syncing Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000

I was wondering if the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 could be synced to the Mac with Apple's bluetooth technology. Microsoft has provided a USB bluetooth device, but I was wondering if I could use the Bluetooth Setup Assistant to set up this particular device. Everytime I try, it says "Device not found." I have installed the Microsoft IntelliPoint software that came with the mouse.

You're really asking in the wrong place: iSync is a Mac OS X application used to synchronize contact, event and task information with selected mobile handsets, smartphones and Palm handheld organizers.
Instead, you should post a query in the Bluetooth forum, here.

Keynote and Microsoft Wireless Presenter Mouse 8000

Hey folks,
i seached on this in the forum, but actually did not find any hints about my problem.
So I switched from PowerPoint to Keynote some weeks ago and got to do my first big presentation with Keynote in some days. I am amazed by the possibilities Keynote offers.
Still, I am stuck with a problem:
I am using the Microsoft Wireless Presenter Mouse 8000 with its original MS drivers. I am just amazed by that piece of hardware. For those who dont know it: Its a Laptop Mouse which you can flip. On the downside, you've got presenter controls like Forward/Back/Play/Louder and a laser pointer button. You can easily switch between mouse mode and presenter mode, so you dont hit mouse buttons accidentially when presenting and vice versa.
With PowerPoint, it just works as it should. With Keynote, it doesn't work. The only thing that works it to change the volume and the play/pause button. Anyway, Keynote does not react to it.
Somebody encountered that problem before?
Thanks
Thorben

I'm running into that problem right now. I really like the mouse, but I've got to get it working with Keynote, else, I'll have to return the product.
I've tried using Steermouse, but it doesn't seem to be able to remap those those "Presenter" keys. The analysis is able to read the button presses, but the driver isn't able to remap.
If anyone knows of a workaround, please let me know! I'll try Applescript and some other things, but I'm about to give it up and just get a separate presentation tool.
Thanks in advance.

Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000

I unwrapped a new MS Wireless Laser Mouse 5000. It appears to have a plastic wrap on the top. Like the cling wrap on some electronic items. It doesn't seem to want to come off. The sides are the same texture as other MS mice. Anyone else seen this plastic cover and tried to remove it? I don't want to damage the surface.
Thanks,
- Craig

Found out that it has a slick finish.

Microsoft Wireless Laser desktop 6000

I recently purchased the Microsoft Wireless Laser desktop 6000, and so far the only thing I have trouble with is that it doesn't have an eject button. And my G5 doesn't have a pinhole to eject manually, so the only way I can eject my CD drive is to hook up an apple keyboard from my co-workers computer. If anyone can enlighten me on an easier way, I would be most grateful. Maybe I'm overlooking something.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
This forum is for feedback for Apple Discussions themselves. In future you should post in a more relevant forum to receive better advice.
Here are two solutions:
Within the Finder go to the View menu and choose Customize Toolbar this allows you to add an Eject button to each Finder window.
Go to Macintosh HD > System > Library > Coreservices > Menu Extras > Eject.menu . Double click this to place an eject menu on the Menu Bar which persists in most applications. (Thanks to Ian Bickerstaffe for this tip!
This can be removed by holding the Command/Apple key and dragging it out of the menu bar.

Nano Wireless Laser Mouse w/ USB Receiver- not recognizing

I bought a WIreless Laser Mouse with a USB receiver, and the USB receiver is recognized, yet the mouse still doesn't work. I've replaced the batteries with new ones in case that was the issue; it wasn't. It was working about a week ago, after which I moved to the UK, but as it's battery-powered that shouldn't really be an issue. Is there some stupid thing I'm missing, an on/off switch or something? Anything else I should try?
Thanks in advance.

Could be a number of reasons that your USB mouse is no longer working. Check the batteries again. This time use a voltmeter. Just because the batteries are new in the package doesn't mean that they're not old or damaaged. Check the mouse for a switch. With the move, the switch, typically on the bottom of the mouse, could have been switched. Check the mouse dongle in the USB port. Maybe it's not seated fully in the port. Or try a different USB port.

Microsoft wireless mobile mouse 4000 issue

My wife has a 4-year old MacBook Pro running 10.6 (can't get her to change...). We recently had to replace her MS Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000--we've both used these for years. We're having an issue with hers...the left button won't go "back" in Safari (or any other program for that matter) and I've tried everything, including assigning the proper keystroke to the button, etc. When I look at her Microsoft Mouse preference panel, it does not show the correct mouse, having an extra button. I've downloaded the latest version of their intellimouse software and it doesn't matter. When I try to get mouse info from the preference panel it tells me it can't see a mouse connected. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

" When I try to get mouse info from the preference panel it tells me it can't see a mouse connected. "
Did you replace the USB receiver as well? The receiver needs to be paired with the new mouse.

Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse dead

I got what a Microsoft Notebook Wireless Optical Mouse back in May I think it was, worked great and loved it until yesterday, now it is unresponsive. I've "reset" it. Tried it on several different machines including Windows XP, all the same results, simply no response. System profiler recognizes the receiver is there. I guess it just died, too soon for that, bummed. Any ideas? I'm going to beat on it and possible freeze it for fun since I have nothing to loose.

My problem is kinda similar. After a pretty severe problem with the Mac the other day (and doing an Archive and Install of OSX 10.4) I have found my MS Wireless Optical Mouse 2.0 is not working properly. Basically I cannot designate the buttons to do what I want them to do. I have tried the MS software (Intellipoint 5.1) and USB Overdrive (10.4) both of which I have used successfully in the past. However, with USB O/D installed every button becomes a control + click. With the MS software it just ignores my preferences.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get round this, it is very frustrating not having the buttons do what I am used to them doing.

Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 button problems

Hello,
I had been using a Microsoft Mobile Mouse 4000 (black) with my Mac Pro 2009 running OSX Mavericks. The mouse was at least four years old. The mouse's scroll wheel has stopped working, so I replaced the mouse with a white version of the same model.
However, when I began using the new mouse, it's "button 3" on the left side, which is supposed to be used to go back in web browsers, functioned as the wheel button (middle-click). The wheel button also used the middle-click designation (which is fine.
I've tried the following with no resolution:
Attempt to change mouse features in System Preferences/Microsoft Mouse (with Intellipoint 8.2 for Mac). Though labels indeed changed, functions remained unaltered.
Uninstall/reinstall Intellipoint 8.2 for Mac. Functions remained unaltered.
Reset PRAM (thought I'd try it). Functions remained unaltered.
Frustrated, I switched back to the old mouse (just plugged it in, no changes to software). It functions as it had previously- all buttons work as they ought, but scroll does not work.
Any help getting this newer mouse of the same model number to work on my Mac would be greatly appreciated.

Ask Microsoft or install different mouse control software such as my personal favorite: SteerMouse 4.1.8.

Lenovo Mini Wireless Laser Mouse N10 - drivers? manual?

Model 45J7731
I just purchased this mouse, and I'm happy with it, but I was wondering if there are drivers or a manual.
The mouse works except for the left and right click of the scroll wheel. I can't find drivers, so the mouse is just recognized with the default mouse drivers. The wheel definately clicks left and right, but these don't seem to be recognized by any software.
The mouse came with 3 different materials. One was completely chinese, One was a basic manual that had a single page with pictures of how to install the battery and turn the mouse on (the many other pages were a multitude of languages, warranty info, and warnings), and the last was a laser warning packet. I think there is an LED in the top of the mouse, but I have no idea what it means or when it should be on (maybe low battery? - that would be useful).
The lenovo service website doesn't seem to have any information on this mouse, so I'm not sure where to look. Any advice for drivers and / or a useage manual?

Lenovo Wireless Laser Mouse 0A36188 looking for receiver

Hello,
Can I order a receiver for my wireless mouse model 0A36188? If not any lenovo nanoreceiver will work, how can I order the one that works with my mouse? Thanks.
Boris

Hey, try to uninstall all USB drivers and restart, but first remove the receiver of the mouse. On restart, windows will reinstall all USB drivers. Then plug in the receiver to the mouse.
