Mighty Mouse Changes?

I wonder if the old wireless Mighty Mouse (the one with the grey side buttons) and newer wireless Mighty Mouse (one with side buttons) have any differences in the chipset it uses.
With the older grey side button one, I had jittery issues when my laptop was about 3.5 feet away with the top of the computer shut. Now, with the same setup, but with a new Mighty Mouse (white buttons) the issue seems to have gone.
{Thanks to Apple Care, they have replaced my old Mighty Mouse which had scrolling issues that I couldn't solve.}

Mighty Mouse wireless: changing the setting of the low battery indicator

Hi,
It seems that the low battery indicator for the wireless mighty mouse appears when the battery level goes under 30%. Is it possible to change this setting, e.g. make it occur when it passes the 5% of remaining battery?
Thanks!

I fully agree with Tibo. I'd like to change this setting as well.
This low battery warning may be a good heads-up for someone who feeds their MM cheap batteries but, I got two Energizer AA Lithium batteries in mine and it literally "keeps going and going..." consistently for weeks while constantly receiving the annoying low battery warning.
Come on, users a perfectly capable of deciding what is fair-warning on the life of batteries we feed the MM.

Wireless Mighty Mouse Name Changes

For the past 5 months, I've used the same wireless Mighty Mouse without issues. During that time it retained the name I gave it upon setting it up for the first time. Then this morning (3/15), I go on my Mac and see it is label as "[MyLastName]'s mouse" and then after a few moments "[MyFirstName]'s mouse." I tried to change the name back, but I don't have the rename option under the Bluetooth cogwheel, only update name is available. Any thoughts?
This may seem trivial, but I always get concerned when something on my MBP changes suddenly. Thanks!

HI
Mine works...I had to have it manually recognize the bluetooth mouse and install it. Right click the bluetooth icon in the lower right bar on windows and then go thru the recognition and install. When I boot up into windows, takes about a minute after finishing booting for the mouse to be recognized, but it works OK then

Mighty Mouse Problems - right click and battery changing

So I am on my second Mighty Mouse after the first one completely stopped working one day. Took it in to Apple and they gave me a new one.
This new one generally works ok (although right click fails every few days) but when I change the batteries and turn it back on the computer doesn't find it. I have to plug in my old Logitch and discover the Mighty Mouse and pair it again using the Logitech to control the cursor.
Then this morning the Mighty Mouse left click button stopped working so I turned it off and on again and once again, the computer didnt recognise the mouse and I had to go through the whole discovering and pairing process again using my other mouse.
Any ideas - I have checked the Bluetooth preferences and cant seen anything that I should be checking - it says my mouse is paired, connected and discoverable.
Any ideas or are Mighty Mouses just an ordinary piece of hardware - my experience so far has been ordinary!
By the way - I have a new (December 07) 24inch iMac and 10.5.2

Hey,
I just talked to German Apple telephone support. They fixed the problem for me! With fresh installs of 10.7.5 the problem is that two files are missing that are needed for the mouse. In my case I could get them from another computer I own that ran Lion and did have the files. To get to the files you need do this:
Go to
/System/Library/LoginPlugins/BezelServices.loginPlugin
control-click that file and choose "show contents"
now in the finder window navigate to
Contents/PlugIns/
In this folder should be two files named
AppleBluetoothHIDMouse.plist
and
AppleHIDMouse.plist
If you don't find these files, you need to get them and put them in.

Mighty Mouse function change

How do I change my right Mighty Mouse button to a "double click"?

I don't think that you are able to make the the become a double click mouse... just able to adjust the speed of the double click....
But there may be a way to make the icons respond to a single click...I'm still trying to figure that one out.
Cheers

How to permanently change the name of my Mighty Mouse?

Hi guys,
I used to have an Apple Wireless mouse which I named as "my full name". I then upgraded to the Mighty Mouse and went into the Bluetooth preferences to change the Mouses name to "My first name only" It works for a few days but then my old name keeps appearing when I click on the Bluetooth symbol in the top right corner of the desktop bar.
I cannot figure out how to permanently change the name without it changing back anywhere from a day later to a week later. It's strange.
Any suggestions?

i will try to help u out. i have a might mouse as well.
glad u posted this...forgot there is a battery meter in there for the batteries! (buy rechargeable if u havent already).
well try this..instead of going into mouse preference...just click the bluetooth symbol at the top right of the screen (i have mine set to show). click the bluetooth tab. then change the name. close the pref pane.
see how long it lasts. i just changed my name....so we shall c

Re-pairing Mighty Mouse after every battery change.

Do I really have to do this every time, because it's driving me nuts. I dread the battery dying because it means I have to go dig out an old corded mouse, plug it in, slog through the pairing wizard, then finally continue my work. Why do I not have to do this with either of my wireless keyboards?

Hello,
You should not have to re-pair your wireless devices after changing the batteries. Next time you replace the batteries in your Mighty Mouse, set the mouse down on the mouse pad, give it a second or two to connect wirelessly and then move it to see if the cursor tracks. If the device is listed as connected in the Bluetooth menu, then it should work.
Also, make sure the Bluetooth icon is displayed in your Status Menu Bar. System Preferences/Bluetooth. Bottom left hand corner of that window, click Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar. You'll be able to always see which "devices" are connected.
And it's very important to keep the MMouse clean. How to Clean Your Mighty Mouse
You can also try deleting the Bluetooth preference file. com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.

Mighty Mouse shortcuts changed

I'm using a wireless Mighty Mouse on OS 10.5.8. The track ball is set to Button 3 and when in a web browser, would open a new tab when clicked once. For some reason, its now acting like the Secondary Button (opens the sub menu). There used to be a mouse shortcuts preference window to set this, but I can't find it anymore. Does anyone know how I can modify the behavior of the button 3 for Mighty Mouse?

You will need to use software such as USB Overdrive to set one of the buttons to the Home key.

Deleting Backup changes Mighty Mouse Settings

Hi All,
yesterday I stumbled upon a somehow funny phenomenon:
I deleted some large files from the backup (via Time Machine) and after that Button 3 and 4 of my Mighty Mouse were set to their default functions (which is ... "Button 3" & "4") instead of "Exposé - All Windows" and "Dashboard".
This is 100% reproduceable on my MBP, regardless wether I delete a single file or a bunch of them or if the notebook was just rebootet etc.
I reset them to my desired preferences, boom - next time after deleting within Time Maschine it's the default values of these Buttons again.
Besides that this is a bit boring (luckily I don't have to delete files from the backup that often) I'm concerned what other side effects can occur on my system which may be compromising it's reliability.
I also noticed that T M became a bit unresponsive since manipulating the backup.
It takes quite some time until I can navigate within T M.
Any clues what's going on?
Thanks a lot - Michael.

Hi, Guys!!
And you have some right cosmic_hippo , Why?
Well think that the real problem it's something between Firefox and Flash content...
because if i use Safari and i try make what i describe in the first post, i don't have any problem with the mouse settings.
Only Happens when i use Firefox...
Cheers.
Well the issue is still there...

I have messed up the settings on my Mighty Mouse and don't know where they should be. I cannot open a document by double-clicking anymore. I don't know what setting adjusts that.

I need help with my Mighty Mouse settings. Don't understand the settings. I can no longer open a document by double-clicking. I think I changed my setting someway when I was trying to correct or find my up and down scrolling. Please help.

I think you need to un-pair your mouse. Leave it a few minutes than re-pair it as if you were starting from scratch and using the following details. Item 1 will probably meet your needs.

Connect Wireless Mighty Mouse to windows xp pro sp2 on bootcamp

I recently installed windows xp pro sp2 on bootcamp i tried to hook up my Wireless Mighty Mouse and I got basically nowhere. I was able to get the computer to recognize it and i typed in the passkey "0000" and it knows that it is a bluetooth device and I changed the settings of the bluetooth to "always" be discoverable and still I have hit a dead end. I can still not seem to connect the wireless mouse in any way. What do I do???

I FUIGURED IT OUT!!! omg im so happy right now. For anyone who might be wondering I'll tell you how to make it work it you had the same problem. Once you establish the mouse a device, highlight it in the devices menu, then click properties, then services, and once it is done searching check the box for the driver and click apply and your mouse should work.

My wired mighty mouse no longer scrolls down - only up and sideways.

My wired mighty mouse no longer scrolls down; only up and sideways. It could be a hardware problem and I guess I should go and by a new mouse but before I do I thought I'd check whether there was any parameter I could change to fix or test this. Anyone else had this problem? Cheers.

Is there any way to turn the low battery warnings off for my Mighty Mouse?

I noticed a pop-up warning on start-up when my battery life reached two bars for my new wireless Mighty Mouse. Also the battery sign kept on flashing in my menu bar.
I was wondering if there was a way of turning these warnings off, save uninstalling the Apple software, or should I just change batteries and not worry about getting as much use as I can out of my current pair.
I've also turned off "show bluetooth status in menu bar" in mouse preferences but it keeps on turning on at startup and it doesn't seem to get rid of the low battery indicator flashing on and off in the menu anyway.
(And would turning off system events as a login item disable the startup warning?).
Thanks
Paul

Hello Paul:
My own experience is that when the warning pops up (regardless of the yellow bars), you need to change the batteries. In my case I use rechargeable 2500 mAh batteries and an Energizer recharger that charges AA and AAA batteries in 15 minutes.
