'Mighty' Mouse *****.  Anybody Got Any Recommendations?

I've been a Mac user for about a year and half now. I've used a Logitech bluetooth "Travel Mouse" with my MacBooks, though the results have always been less that totally satisfactory. The cursor has always had a tendency to "drift" on the screen. The effect seems even less tolerable with my new aluminum 13" MacBook than it was with my prior "black" MacBook.
So Thursday I went to the Apple store and got one of Apple's wireless "Might Mouse" devices. And while the pointing is dead on -- there's no "drift" -- the absence of an actual second click button is positively infuriating.
I guess this design relies on some subtlety of touch to determine when the user intends for his click on the right side of the single "button" to be a left- or a right- click. In my case, it seems to work about 1/3rd of the time. Which is to say, one out of three times that I try to press on the right side of the mouse, I will get the effect I'm actually trying to get, i.e. an actual "right click." The other two times, it's treated like a left click.
The trade off -- accurate pointing for a nearly useless right-click function -- is not worth the trouble. This one is going back to the store. As far as design goes, Mr. Jobs' reluctance to incorporate an actual second mouse button in any of his company's designs demonstrates stubbornness of "epic fail" proportions.
Which leave me wondering... what is a decent brand of Bluetooth mouse to use with a MacBook? When I spoke to somebody at the Apple store, he said that there are "issues" with Logitech Bluetooth products, which I can attest to from my own experience. So, is there any brand of mouse that a) works reliably with the MacBook and b) has TWO buttons instead of one button and one pretend button?
And, ohbytheway, I'm a lefty, so mice designed for right handed people don't work for me either. Unfortunately that narrows the universe of workable products considerably.
Does anybody have a Bluetooth Mouse that works well with their MacBook?
Thanks,
--PS

We have worked with Jitterbit and Cast Iron and both work well. The main difference between the two is that Cast Iron is an appliance and Jitterbit is an application deployed on your servers. They both perform well and can integrate CRMOD with many other types of data and applications. I think the choice would come down to your preference between the two.

    WINDOWS?
    Connect the iPod to your PC. If iTunes starts syncing (ie erasing) your music automatically, hit the X in the upper right hand corner of iTunes display, to the left of the search box, to stop it.
    In Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, double-click your iPod.
    In the Tools menu -> Options, in the View Tab, check "Show hidden files and folders."
    Navigate to the Music folder. On my 'pod, the full path is
    Portable Media Devices\NAME of IPOD (F:)\iPod_Control\Music
    Select all the music folders, and drag and drop them into a folder on your hard drive, or directly into iTunes.
    And you're done! The iPod music folder structure is strange and inexplicable, but once you move your files into iTunes you can set it to automatically organize your folder by artist and album to clean that up. (To do this, in iTunes Edit menu, choose Preferences and in the Advanced tab, check "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized."
    might be out of date worth a try

    Often, rebooting, or deleting the waiting app and re-installing, will do the trick.

  • Error 1002 ?? what the? phone was working totally fine then just froze. Anybody got any idea?

    Error 1002? Phone was working just fine then froze now can't access it nor can i restore it. Anybody got any idea?

    Here are Apple's Tips.....  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1002
    I would try to Restore in DFU Mode. Connect iPhone to iTunes, hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release Power button, keep holding Home button until iTunes tells you it has found iPhone in Recovery Mode, this takes about 20 seconds time. If the Screen is Black this is DFU Mode. If the screen shows iTunes Screen this is Recovery Mode. If you get Recovery Mode try to restore anyway. If fails again then definitely try to get DFU Mode, it may take several tries.

  • Been looking for NBA League Pass for a long time - anybody got any positive news ?

    I bundled FIOS TV with Verizon back in the summer (2008) -
    I dropped DIRECTV because I was assured Verizon FIOS TV carried NBA League Pass -
    Well it is 20 games into the season now and still no NBA League Pass on Verizon FIOS TV (at least not in Northern Va)
    3 weeks ago the channel guide from "MENU" on the FIOS TV remote control says NBA Channels "Coming soon" for channels 1490 to 1499 or so.
    I have called Verizon at the 1-888 and 1-800 #s several times and questioned what is going on but nobody seems to knows anything ,
    I even got an email from a Verizon store on November 18 that stated
    "The NBA package went active on Saturday. If we can assist you in placing your order to make it go as smooth as possible please let us know".
    Does anybody know what is going on ?
    I think I have been patiently waiting way too long .
    I hate to have to get DIRECTV or Dishnetwork on just one TV , (I bundled because I was trying to save money) but .....
    Thanks for any info ,
    Signed,
    Extremely frustrated with Verizon

    sorry I have not replied sooner but I have not checked the "forum" since I went back to DirectTV on the big screen in the basement  so I could
    get NBA League Pass --
    Shortly after I posted my "issue" I finally got some accurate information (I believe) from Techman - who I think is a Verizon employee -
    anyway Techman seems to know more than anyone else I talked to with Verizon , and he said something about NBA LP might possibly be on Verizon
    TV  -by the end of January,  but nothing "set in stone" - so ...
    (I was  definitely tired of waiting way back in early November... know what I mean?)
    thanks again Techman for the info

  • My Mighty Mouse works like any other mouse (not a good thing...)

    I came bac to my PowerBook a couple of days ago. The first thing I noticed was that my MightyMouse didn´t work properly. It scrolled superfast, and it didn´t help to slow down the speed i System Preferences either. Then I realised that the buttons on the side or the scroll-button didn´t work either...
    So, then I started off by stopping USB-Overdrive that has a tendence to run in the backgrund and make problems. I really don´t know why I haven´t removed it earlier. But my point is that this didn´t help.
    Then i tried to repair my diskpermissions that actually might help in some situations, but since I´m writing this now I think you can guess that it didn´t work either.
    So, then i took the reboot that didn´t to much either. Then i created a brand new user-profile to check if it was anything in my specific profile that was wrong. It wasn´t. The Mighy Mouse didn´t work here either...
    I posted i a Norwegian forum as well, and there i heard that some other guys had problems with their as well, and they had got their replaced by Apple, so I tought that i should use the Self-Service form that I have used earlier, but it seems to be gone. Anyone that have seen it?
    Still, my real question is if anyone has any idea about what´s wrong here. The mouse isn´t old either, I bought it right before the summer holidays.
    So, I´ll be very thankful for any tips that can help me here. It´s so much easier to fix it instead of having a one beeing shipped up to this polarbear-land from Apple...

    Bang it kinda hard on your desk.... it helped with my scroll problem. no kidding! and when apple tells you they cant do anything it will relieve the tension. haha... try rebooting the computer with the mouse unplugged and plug it back in when it boots up. then try re-installing the drivers and see if there is a possible update. then call apple and complain for ~ 1 hour. Then get a replacement. good luck!

  • My itunes library is constantly resetting itself. I really don't know what is wrong with it I have ran virus checks and nothing is on my laptop. Anybody got any idea?

    Hi my itunes library is constantly disappearing, I really don't know what is wrong. It keep happening everytime I turn my laptop off, I thought I had solved the problem the other week however it has started back up again. I have a Sony Vaio laptop and have read on the discussions that this can occur but all the solutions I have read haven't seemed to solve it. Anybody else got an idea? I would be really grateful for the help!

    See this post. Seems that AVG is the most likely cause. They are promising a patch tomorrow.

  • HT201412 My iphone 4S switches itself off regularly. The battery is well charged,however. So I don't understand what's going on. Anybody got any idea. Thanks a lots

    My 4S keeps on switching itself off for no apparent reason. I've had to restore 3 times already. Does anybody have an idea ? Thanks

    I should mention it is ios 6.1.3. The phone has now also started, after rebooting, showing the signal bars next to the wifi signal icon at the top but no "Sprint" type next to the bars as usual. And then after a few minutes it shuts down, shows the black screen with the white apple in the middle for a few moments, comes back up with the Waiting for Activation message, the signal bars pop up and the whole cycle just repeats itself.
