Mighty Mouse bluetooth: scroll wheel in Vista 64 bit doesn't work

I Installed Vista 64 bit on my Mac Pro.
My bluetooth mighty mouse has been recognized as an hid mouse. It works but the scroll wheel.
I tested on osx and it works, so it is not dirty or broken.
I tried to install the drivers from my leopard dvd but I receive an error message during the installation.
I downloaded the bootcamp update for 64bit systems but when I try to install it, it tells me the software to be updated is missing.
I tried to use a recent leopard dvd a friend gave but it tells me that my system doesn't support 64 bit softwares (is a late 2007 Mac Pro).
Is there anyone who knows the answer?

You have to have a pre-2008 Mac Pro I take it.
(might want to include more in your profile)
First you need to install 64-bit drivers from Apple off 10.5.4 or later DVD or from a 2008 Mac Pro.
Might even be drivers for generic BT mice available somewhere??

I think you'll need to uninstall your current Apple services and device drivers, restart and then go with BC 2.x for 64-bit.

Apple bt mouse w/ scroll wheel nor right-side click working in ML 10.8

i've have years of experience in setting up macs and this scroll wheel old bluetooth mouse doesn't function as i set it up in system prefs. the scroll wheel seems clean but does not work no matter the setting chosen. also, the right side and double finger clicking don't work either. it seems that there's a compatability issue.
any word?

Bug: scrolling with mouse scroll wheel while dragging tracks no longer works

After upgrading to Spotify for Mac 1.0.2.6, I can no longer use my mouse's scroll wheel while dragging tracks to a different position in a playlist. This is an important feature when working with long playlists. Steps to reproduce:Create a playlist that extends past the bottom of the windowClick and begin dragging the first song on the playlist downwardUse your mouse's scroll wheel to scroll the playlist down. It will not scroll.

Mighty Mouse wont scroll?!?

Hey guys... for some reason my Mighty Mouse quit scrolling down today. It will still scroll up but not down. I can't feel anything when I scroll down that makes it seem like its catching something, so I am cluecless. Any ideas?!

Use this article first: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302417
I have to clean mine a couple of times a month, when the above cleaning method doesn't work I resort to more drastic measures. I use a small amount of Rubbing Alcohol on a clean old t-shirt to clean the ball and then blow it out. I have done this many times in the last year, works well with no ill affects to the mouse.

Mighty Mouse stopped scrolling

I have an Intel iMac with Tiger. Recently the scroll ball on my Mighty Mouse stopped scrolling. Nothing happens at all when I move it. I went to the preferences to see if a setting was wrong. Most of the mouse options have the word "Expose" (I can't figure out how to do the accent mark) so I looked that up. It seems Expose is the reason the windows sometimes fly apart for no known reason. I wish I could turn that off, I hate it. Anyway, I tried different mouse options and the scrolling hasn't come back.
Thanks for any help offered.

I will try cleaning the scroll ball like that.
I want to be able to scroll, but I don't want the windows to suddenly jump apart. I don't even know what button makes that happen. I didn't know Exposé (got the accent, thanks) existed until today. Can you tell me exactly what setting gets rid of Exposé but not scrolling?

Hi Eli,
Can you try setting the outlook as Default email client. Here are the steps to achieve this -
Start Internet Explorer.
Select Tools | Internet Options from the menu.
Go to the Programs tab.
Make sure Microsoft Office Outlook or Microsoft Outlook is selected under E-mail.
Click OK.
Now please see if you face any issue using Outlook in PSE.
Thanks,
Sourabh

Lenovo Bluetooth Laser mouse 41u5009 scroll wheel not working in Virtual PC

Firstly this is not a type I have a 41U5009 that is the model number printed on the bottom of the mouse and this mouse came direct from Lenovo with my T61p notebook. For some reason to get drivers for this mouse you cannot simply type in the model number on the Lenovo site as it does not recognize it as a valid model number.
My issue is that the driver I have or the mouse does not allow the scroll wheel to work under MS virtual pc 2007. I am running Vista 64 bit on the T61P laptop and the virtual pc I am running xp. If I plug in other mice such as MS cordless mini mouse or HP standard mouse the wheel from those mice works in the VM. But the wheel on the Lenovo mouse does not work, this makes me believe it is the Lenovo mouse that is the issue. I have tried using the Lenovo mouse on another pc ( a clone pc) and have the same issue with the wheel not working. I should point out that in the parent OS the wheel on the Lenovo mouse works fine. I should also point out that in the VM every other function of the mouse works fine, it is just the wheel part that does not get recognized.

Sorry, but pressing F7 did not do anything I could see in the mobile browser. I had to check with the desktop browser to see what it was supposed to do, and I don't think this caret browsing function exists in the mobile version.
Also tried installing the latest non-beta mobile FIrefox alongside the beta, without syncing anything, and the nonfunctionality of mouse scrolling is present in that one, too. Am considering giving up on mobile Firefox on at least this device.
Note: in case this information is useful, the mouse scrolling works on the Firefox start page with the thumbnails for most used links, but not on any other pages.

Does external PS/2 mouse w/scrolling wheel conflict w/Trackpoint?

I've got an x31 running Windows XP pro SP3. Everything is fine.
But when I plug in an external mouse into the PS/2 port of my media slice or docking station:
- the scrolling wheel on the mouse (logitech or sony) doesn't work
- the psysical movement required to move the cursor across the screen is silly
(nearly 10", vs 3 or 4 with a USB mouse)
Ideas??

OK, I pieced together the solution. This probably applies to all thinkpads.
The PS/2 port, to properly recognize hardware, needs the system to be power-cycled. So, if you already have a system up and plug a PS/2 mouse in...it will only be partially recognized. The amount of physical movement required to move the mouse is excessive. Buttons might not work. Scrolling wheel won't work.
But if you power cycle the system, the external PS/2 mouse will work fine and the Trackpoint will be disabled (for as long as the external mouse is plugged in).
So my problem: I was putting my laptop into the docking station and ultrabase but I wans't power-cycling. I was just ejecting, putting the system in suspend, etc.
The SOLUTION: when putting your laptop into the docking station or ultrabase with a PS/2 mouse, hibernate the system first. Since the system is powered down, when you turn it on it will detect the PS/2 mouse and all will be well.
I have no idea if this applies to Win2K, Vista, or 7...just to WinXP. Confirmed this on two separate x31s and two different brands of PS/2 mice.
To answer the question I originally started with -- yes, the trackpoint does conflict with external PS/2 mice....but the system manages the conflict just fine as long as you power-cycle the hardware after hooking up the external mouse.
Some of this applies to serial mice (no, they haven't gone away from my basement...), but none of it applies to truly plug-and-play devices like USB or bluetooth mice.

August 08 imac. Mighty Mouse wont scroll down.

Hey, I have August 2008 iMac and since about Febuary the mighty mouse will not scroll down. I havent been using it much (Had major pc problems... Been working on my pc alot.) and am moving it to somewhere where it will get used more.
How can I get the wheel to scroll down again?
I have tried unplugging it and wiping it on my shirt, and rolling the scroll ball on a sheet of paper upside down. But those didnt fix the problem.

The mouse ball is dirty, you need to use a damp towel and vigorously rub the mouse's ball for at least 30 seconds. Another technique is getting a clean sheet of paper, placing it on a flat surface, turning over the mouse and vigorously rolling the ball on the paper.
If that doesn't fix it (it should!) then it is covered by your original warranty so contact Apple or take it to an Apple Store for replacement.

Roger

Mighty Mouse just scrolls up

Hi,
I just got a used (looks like new) bluetooth mighty mouse. The problem is the scroll ball only scrolls up. I set it to 360° and all other options. No effect.
Another thing is I can't configure the mouse as a bluetooth device. The mouse works (except the scrolling) an when I hit the bluetooth icon it is shown. But when I search for bluetooth devices oder even when I use the mouse configuration menu an click on "configure bluetooth mouse" it will not be found?
Does anyone know this funny stuff?
By, Jazzy

You must clean it.
Emphasis on rubbing vigorously.

Mighty Mouse (wired) Button Config in Vista

Is there a comparable configuration application in Vista for configuring button actions on the mighty mouse? The windows control panel sees the mighty mouse but does not allow it to configure the side buttons or change the default action of the scroll ball. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

It isn't likely that there is an alternative available for the Mighty Mouse in Vista. This is because the buttons on the Mighty Mouse are optimized for use in Mac OS X, not Windows. The drivers and stuff that allow the Mighty Mouse to work in Windows are not the same as in OS X, and lack the driver support for the special buttons. I would recommend buying a "Certified for Vista" mouse if you want special features like that in Vista. If you're using Boot Camp on a Mac, I would recommend having a Mighty Mouse for Mac OS X and a Vista Certified mouse from Microsoft or Logitech for Vista.

Mighty Mouse sudden scroll issues on Mavericks

My bluetooth Mighy Mouse (a little ancient, but still works well for me) was functioning perfectly till suddenly the vertical scrolling increased speed rapidly, followed shortly by the horizontal scrolling failing completely. This all happened after an episode of letting my battery die to the point of power down, me plugging in the Mac, giving it a few minutes to boot only to find everything very slow, then doing a restart. Upon start up, my Mac returned to being its normal speedy self, but this Mighty Mouse issue occured.
The settings in preferences -> mouse are ''lowest scroll speed'' and "vertical and horizontal" scrolling
I have reset the SMC and PRAM. This did nothing.
Any suggestions???

Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't know of that preference item.
But changing this did not help, in fact it seems to coincide with the System Preferences>Mouse>Scrolling (change one, and the other changes too). And changing this scrolling setting anywhere from low to high doesn't seem to change my current scrolling speed. It is unregulated.
I should also mention that I have two bluetooth Mighty Mice and one corded Mighty Mouse. All of these have super-fast vertical scrolling and NO horizontal scrolling.
Also, when resetting the PRAM, it is an obvious restart. When resetting SMC, is there any visible/audible cues that the reset has occured? I just want to rule these two possible solutions out.

Mighty Mouse not scrolling down

Hello. I have a problem with my mighty mouse. Suddenly it will no longer scroll downwards with the small ball when view web pages/itunes etc., although it will still scroll up. Does this have anything to do with the latest security update that i recently installed? Any help would be appreciated.

I had a similar problem and it turned out that the moving parts inside were just dirty.
I used a slightly damp face cloth and pushed hard against the ball and rolled it around for a few seconds.
This cleaned the bit of dust or whatever was interfering, and it has worked fine since.
I read elsewhere to use rubbing alcolhol instead of water -- but I used a very damp cloth and that did the trick.
Good luck!

Wireless Mighty Mouse/Bluetooth problems

Good day to you all, ladies and gents!
Right, well I have attempted some research on this and it seems that there's quite a few other people that have issues with the Wireless (not so) Mighty Mouse.
Mine keeps cutting out. Basically just clicking and moving it around like a mad hatter reconnects it in a matter of 5 seconds, but it's getting really bad, and I've had this iMac for well over a year, I've only really been noticing it in the last 3/4 months or so...
The upgrade to 10.5.7 didn't sort it out either...
I don't use my bluetooth for much else, just transferring photos from my phone, and that works fine... My Apple remote seems to work fine too..
Sorry if there's already a forum dedicated to this issue, if there is I couldn't find one an I'm a noob!
Thanks!

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
How to Clean a Mighty Mouse
Minimize Bluetooth Interference
(I have to keep my TV remote more than 3ft away from my wireless MM, other wise is disables the mouse and TV remote isn't Bluetooth)
Check System Preferences/Keyboard&Mouse and click Bluetooth.
Sometimes just re-pairing the mouse can help
