Mighty MB112ll/B apple mouse Zoom problem.

I have mighty MB112ll/B apple mouse model (A1152), using it on mac pro. I want to do Zoom in & out by this mouse, but I could not! how do I activate zoom function.

Sorry for delay in getting back, I have since installed a fresh copy of Leopard and tested how the mouse copes and still exactly the same. I am pretty certain it is permanently down as the ball is a lot lower down than it used to be. Will have to call Apple by looks of it. Hopefully the phones won't be quite as busy as they were at the end of last week.

  • Apple Mouse (Bluetooth) Problem

    I'm having problems with the tracking on my Bluetooth Apple Mouse and I was wondering if Apple has a manual on this mouse. There is at least one switch on there that I have no idea what it's about.
    I've fiddled with it and gotten the tracking to work again. Other times it doesn't work. I have no idea what that switch is about.
    Also, I've taken one of the batteries out and then back in again. Sometimes that works. Sometimes it doesn't.
    However, with a haphazard working of both of these things, and repeating them several times over again -- at some point I'll get it to working and tracking once again. I can't see any pattern to what is causing it to start working again -- other than just doing these things over and over again -- until it does.
    Perhaps someone has the answers to the manual and/or how to get this tracking problem fixed.
    Best regards...
    iBook G4 1.42 GHz & iMac G4 Flat Panel 800 MHz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Unfortunately, this could be any number of things.
    One likely suspect is the batteries. If you're using
    rechargeables, try good new regular ones for a while.
    The rechargeables are 1.2 volts, regular AAs are
    1.5. Sometimes that makes a difference.
    I've thought of using those, but I don't. What I do -- though -- is take out one battery when I'm not using it. I don't use the mouse but every few days (or so), and maybe for up to a week or so. So, that way I figure I keep the battery in good shape.
    Even brand new ones sometimes don't work, or don't
    work right. Try cleaning the contacts in the mouse,
    and the top and bottom of the batteries with alcohol,
    acetone (carefully), or the like. Try other new
    batteries. I've had brand-new ones test fine with a
    volt meter, but just not work. Never did figure out
    why. Others in the same pack were fine.
    Well, I do carry a set of brand new ones, so that I'll be ready to replace them. And I've tried the new ones before, to see if that was the problem. I still encounter this kind of "tracking" problem. Now, mind you the "clicking" always works okay. So, I'm getting a Bluetooth connection always. However, it's only the tracking (and not the "clicking") that is not working. It's always that way without any variation (if there is any kind of problem at all).
    Interference is another common problem. Airport,
    cordless phones, etc., can interfere. Try turning
    off everything you can find for a while. If you see
    improvement, turn one at a time back on.
    Now, I'll be (usually) in public places when I do use the mouse (like Starbucks or McDonalds), so that might be difficult to isolate any others that are using Bluetooth. However, I do use another Bluetooth device (but not at the same time). It's a Bluetooth GPS receiver. It always works (although it's the only bluetooth connected at the time).
    If all else fails, I recommend a double Scotch.
    Won't help, but you may not care!
    Well..., it's irritating, but I can usually get it to working in about three to five minutes by taking the battery in and out and/or flipping that switch back and forth. It's never been any longer than about five minutes for me to get it to fully working again. But, since I've seen several others here mentioning this problem, it seems to me that it's some kind of hardware or software problem -- especially since the Bluetooth connection is made and is functioning with the mouse clicks (always without fail).
    Good luck.
    Thanks -- but say..., do you know what that "switch" is -- underneath the battery cover?
    Best Regards...

  • Apple Mouse (mighty mouse?) Right clicks too often

    I have the Apple Mouse (former Mighty Mouse) and I have right click turned on.  The mouse is constantly doing "right click" when I click left.  I look and my finger is well to the left of the little scroll wheel.
    I thought "Oh maybe it's sensing the whole panel and I'm pushing in a funny angle" but no, I paid attention and  I was not.
    I'm just wondering, is this a common problem with this mouse?   Or is my particular mouse defective?

    I have a 2011 iMac and the batteries in my Magic Mouse need changing every couple of months.  In contrast, my wireless keyboard only needs a battery change every 10 months or so.  I bought an Apple battery charger and keep the spare set of batteries always charged.
    I think that is the way it is - mouse uses more juice than keyboard (or gets more use so runs down faster).  However, if it gets worse than 2 weeks life, it may be time to invest in a new mouse.

  • I replaced our Apple Mouse because of connectivity issues, still having problem but now under system preferences it will connect Apple Mouse but not my wife's.

    We experienced connectivity on IMac with Magic Mouse, replaced mouse and still have problem.  Under system preferences dropdown menu it shows Apple Mouse and my wife's mouse.  I cannoy connect my wife's mouse.  Why?

    Try going to settings, reset , reset network settings.

  • 10.10.3  causing Apple Mouse problems and bring back iPhoto

    I recently purchased an Apple Mouse to replace my Rocksole Magic Mouse.  Since updating to 10.10.3 yesterday, my button scrolls down but not up.  I have opened preferences and tried all settings for the button. Nothing helps.  The old mouse works fine. I thought that I would try the Apple mouse because I like the feel better.
    Seeing all the other problems with ---.3, I fear that Apple is getting like Microsquash!!!!  Does anyone else have this problem, or a fix, other than going back to my old mouse?
    PS: I hate "Photos", bring back iPhoto!

    Clicking and unclicking did the trick, thanks
    Also I discovered that iPhoto is still on my mac, but the  photo library has changed to the new one, which has to be converted back.
    Thanks

  • After Mavericks, mouse-zoom won't work.

    I installed Mavericks last night as a way of fixing a Safari problem.
    I have become accustomed to using the [control] key on my keyboard while swiping vertically on my mouse to quickly zoom in on my screen - until now. 
    The zoom feature isn't working - and it doesn't appear to be something I can re-assign in the mouse or keyboard settings.  I use this feature a LOT, and need it back.
    Any suggestions?

    My Apple mouse also JUST quit zooming. I am running Maverick/iMac Quad and have already tried the zoom feature on Accessibility.
    The only choices there are for keyboard shortcuts & scrolling, keyboard focus.
    The Mouse options are similarly irrelevant.
    Help!

  • Apple Mouse only scrolls in one direction after 10.6.8 update

    I just updated to 10.6.8 security update, itunes and safari update (I think?) Can't remember now. The update was 10-4-11.
    My Apple mouse now only scrolls in one direction. I thought is was dirty and it is not. There are posted issues with this safarie update with mouse related problems, however I am experiencing them in all programs.
    Rebooted several times, re-cleaned mouse scroll ball, did the paper trick by cleaning. No success.
    I can scroll down but not up. It forces me to grab the scroll bar and manually drag the scrolling window.
    Again ALL programs. Was just fine right before the update. Now a problem after

  • Mouse scrolling problem

    My iMac is around two years old, and I'm on my third mouse. Why? Because of the scrolling ball. The present mouse scrolls in all directions except down. But previous mouses have stopped scrolling in more than one direction. I have read articles (including the stuff from Apple Support), and I have, I think, tried just about everything (except take it apart, as one article instructed). The mice work fine for a while--then come the scrolling problems. I've tried rubbing the ball (mouse upside down) vigorously on a lint-free cloth, and I regularly (when problems inevitably arise) clean the ball with alcohol and a Q-tip. The latter does get the ball pretty clean, and it works for a while; but eventually even this doesn't correct the scrolling problem (as is the case right now). So, unless someone can give me a suggestion that might work (with Mighty Mouse), can anyone recommend a non-Apple mouse--something not too expensive but of good quality?
    Thank you,
    Carl Kalwaitis

    Hi Carl, I used mice (Mighty included) but always went back to the trackball. You don't move your wrist and it is very precise. I have had the same trackball for three years and my Mighty Mouse (which came with my new iMac) is still in it's original packaging. I have a Logitech Marble Mouse. It has all the scrolling and other functions that the MM has. Give it a try and save yourself some exasperation.

  • Apple Mouse - Mavericks scrollen

    Hallo Community,
    Ich besitze folgendes Problem an meinem Mac mini. Wenn ich in den Mauseinstellungen die Scrollgeschwindigkeit auf Schnell einstelle, also der maximalen Geschwindigkeit, verliert sich diese Einstellung nach einem Neustart des Computers. Die Scrollgeschwindigkeit stellt sich immer auf die zweit höchste Geschwindigkeit zurück. Ist das nur ein Bug oder kann die Apple Mouse (ehem. Mighty Mouse) nicht auf das Maximum eingestellt werden?

    Which mouse are you using, MightyMouse or MagicMouse?

  • Mouse Acceleration Problem (Whats a good microsoft mouse)

    Yes, I have noticed that the acceleration curve on the mac is way off. I've grown up using pc, so Im used to how smooth and easy it is to use the mouse. I don't really like the way the mouse works on the mac, though I like the look and stuff. I really like Macs, but i just don't like the way the mouse moves. You can even search and you'll find other people facing the same problem:
    http://db.tidbits.com/article/8893
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8165678
    I read in that other thread that you can get a Microsoft mouse and that Microsoft actually created another drive for Mac (intellipoint) that replaces the Mac drive for the mouse so you can have more preferences to change and the movement will be more "PC" like. So since Im deciding to get a microsoft mouse, whats a good mouse from them? I don't really like the mighty mouse because the shape makes my wrist sore, I mean it looks nice, but it doesn't feel right. So yeah, whats a great microsoft mouse?

    Hi,
    I have three Microsoft 'mice' a really old wired model that proabably isn't being made anymore but it was good. I also have a Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 and a Wireless Noteboook Laser Mouse 6000 (USB Dongle) - all worked using the Intellipoint drivers and the software was easy to install and allowed good customisation. It might be me but the Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse looses its connection every 15 minutes or so for a minute or so and is hard to wake up from sleep so I only use it when I'm doing FCE work. The USB mouse works flawlessly, but because I am using it on a laptop, the dongle is a bit of a hassle so I have gone back to the Apple Bluetooth mighty mouse. Don't get me wrong the Wireless 6000 is a great mouse just not practical of my purposes. The Apple mouse works well and is very reliable, it just needs a back button.

  • Mouse Tracking Problem -- Follow Up

    Back in December I reported a solution to the problem of a wireless Mighty Mouse not tracking properly. I said that I solved the problem by "turning off my wireless" and "turning it back on again". PeteMac followed up saying (understandably) that he didn't know what I intended by the term "wireless". Of course, I never went back to the thread so I missed his question. I meant my MacBookPro's internal Airport. Simply turn Airport off, then turn it back on again. Sorry, PeteMac, that I left that mystery unsolved. But it happened to me again this evening and I had to go back to the original thread to discover the solution I had posted about. I suspect that Airport and Bluetooth have the potential to interfere with each other, but they can avoid that, if given a second chance.

    The following from: http://forums.macosxhints.com/
    Okay. I went back and found an old trick that never worked for me before but now it does. You need to edit the user/library/preferences/.globalpreferences.plist. This file is invisible. What I did was open it with SNAX (it can show invisible files) by dragging the pref file onto TextEdit's Dock icon. You could also use TinkerTool to make the file visible or perhaps do the whole thing in the Terminal.
    Look for a couple lines that looks like this:
    <key>com.apple.mouse.scaling</key>
    <real>1.000000000000000e+00</real>
    [the first digits might be "1.7" or something depending on how you've got your mouse speed set]
    Change the last part to look like this:
    <real>1.000000000000000e+05</real>
    This should bring the acceleration tracking curve to "normal." You can try changing the first part to speed up the mouse like this:
    <real>4.500000000000000e+05</real>
    You need to log out for the changes to take effect. If you go to the mouse System Preference and change a thing it will overwrite your changes and you're back to square one. I'm not sure that I've had much success in changing the mouse speed but the more annoying thing, the weird acceleratin curve, is fixed.

  • Apple Mouse Magic with Windows Vista

    Hello!
    My computer is Windows Vista 32 bits.
    I have bluetooth mouse "Apple Mouse Magic", I got to work on Windows Vista I installed the drivers, but every time I reboot or re-enter Windows does not recognize me, and I have to link each time the mouse with a program Bluetooth BlueSoleil.
    Does anyone know how I can leave it linked to Windows Vista without using an intermediary the "BlueSoleil"?
    I tried adding it through the bluetooth device but there's no framework for when the box "Allow Bluetooth devices to find this computer" whenever I get the same error:
    "Error while Windows save the settings. It is possible that the Bluetooth device is disconnected.
    Do not keep the following configuration:
    -Configuration Discovery
    "Connection Settings"
    Can anyone help me?
    Thank you

    *" Will the wired Apple Mighty Mouse work with Windows Vista SP1?"*
    Officially...No: http://www.apple.com/mightymouse/specs.html
    In reality... probably. Why would you want it anyway? There are many many better mice out there.

  • How to connect apple mouse

    I use a wireless Apple mouse. I get an error message indicating that the mouse is not connected even though it's on. The message continues with,"make sure the mouse is discoverable". How do I get this mouse to be discoverable?

    Thank you very much.
    I wonder if you can help me with a different problem.
    Without changing any settings, several days ago I woke up my iMac to discover that I can't send or receive email. Nor can I print anything. The day before, everything was working. I could receive and send email, print whatever I wanted and generally had no problems. I contacted my ISP, Cablevision, who asked to allow them to access my iMAC. I gave permission. They determined that all the setting, ports etc. where correct for me to receive and send email. They referred me to Apple.
    I have never had this problem in the 7 years I have have been working on my iMac. I also own a MacBook Pro which runs on the same network as well as an iPhone. The MacBook and iPhone receive and send email like always. It's just my iMac that's giving me heartburn.
    Can you help?

  • How do you folks setup your Apple Mouse also known as MightyMouse for iMac?

    Any hints?..., tips?..., pointers?..., suggestions?..., ideas?..., alternative ways?... how you folks out there setup your Apple Mouse also known as Mighty Mouse for the 27 inch iMac 3.2GHz Intel Core i3 Trying to interpret the available documentation that turned up so far... not easy, information in the documentation could be better, more crystal clear ! Needed are more and better diagrams with better labels that better differentiate a variety of setups!

    Go to Systems Preferences and click on the Mouse icon. You have a choice of how fast you want to track, scroll and the double click speed. It also gives you some choices of one-finger and two-finger operations. Change the settings (maybe one at a time) and see what best fits you. What I have my mouse setting on are comfortable for me; they might not be comfortable for you. Try changing the settings in Systems Preferences until you come up with a configuration that meets your needs.
    There is a "mouse" chapter in the "Everything Mac" manual that came with the computer. It has more information on use, settings, etc.
