Mighty Mouse configured to 'close active window' ???

Hi people,
my Apple Store salesman told me it was possible to configure the new mighty mouse (OS 10.4.10) to do ANY function.
All I want is the scroll button on top to be set to close the active window.
Has anyone been able to do with using the 'Other' Option in Mouse Preferences with a suitable script?
Thanks,
Matt.
Lofer, Austria.

I've been searching for an automator action to close the active window for hours. It seems such an obvious action I can't believe it isn't there. Surely someone out there must have the answer - Help us!!

  • Problem with Mighty Mouse in Right Click with Windows Vista Business

    Hi APPLE,
    I have a laptop, Sony Vaio, with Windows Vista Installed in it, i have purchased Apple Wireless Bluetooth Mighty Mouse. Sometimes I get no response when i right click...when i disconnect the mouse, then right click becomes active...but after using for long, right click becomes left click and left click acts normally. Could anyone tell me why this is happening, Can anyone tell me any fix/update/patch Apple has provided for Windows Vista. Is there any driver to configure Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse in Standalone Windows Vista.

  • Wireless keyboard and mighty mouse do not work with windows Vista

    I have a new iMac core 2 duo 20" used by my granddaughter.
    The drive has been partitioned using 50-50 with Boot Camp Assistant to form 2 250 GB partitions and windows Vista has been installed on one of them. The installation process runs smoothly as does the process when the OSX disc is installed for the relevant drivers for keyboard, mouse, isight camera etc. At the end of this process it is necessary to click a :"finish" button but at this point the mouse and keyboard have frozen and there is no other way of inputting information. Restarting in windows takes me to the log in page but there is no way to input the user name and proceed further.
    Apple support has suggested hat I use a wired keyboard and mouse or call Microsoft support. Microsoft support have told me that they do not support Vista on a Mac.
    Any suggestions would be helpful.

    I had the same problem on the mac mini from my dad with windows XP.
    I could install everything smoothly but when i wanted to connect the mighty mouse and a wireles apple keyboard i had the same problem.
    I fixed this by using a mouse with cable and then add the keyboard and mouse via bluetooth in the configurationscreen. i had to do do this 6 times (the same thing) before it worked so maybe its the same in vista

  • Wireless Mighty Mouse Sputters During Network activity

    Has anyone figured this one out yet.
    I have a wireless mighty mouse that when you copy files to or from a computer off a network,
    it sputters and barely moves when trying to use it. If i plug in a usb mouse there is no problem at all.
    Was using a verizon wireless router and just bought an airport extreme. Guess what. Still does it. When I hard wire my computer to the router all works fine.
    I just cant think of what this could possibly be. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    There are a lot of people with this problem - mostly MacBook owners, but probably because they're more likely to have the wireless and BlueTooth running.
    I have the problem with a Logitech mouse on a Mac Mini -- cursor goes bonkers at random intervals, with terrible mouse lag, and I basically can't use the mouse when it's happening. It doesn't correlate with anything I can see in the Activity Monitor, but I can stop it if I turn off BOTH Airport and the router.
    Not likely to be RF interference with the signals, IMO, but some have reported that switching to an 802.11n router (or 802.11g with b compatibility disabled) solved the problem.

  • Mighty Mouse and Wireless Keyboard w/ Windows 7 in BC

    Cannot get these to work after Windows 7 install;  at all and I've googled solutions until my eyeballs are dry.  Tried to delete the devices then re-add.  This managed to get the mouse working temporarily.  Keyboard would not connect at all.  The device manager sees the devices but cannot connect.  Restarted under windows once the mouse was working and on the start it lost the connection.  Now it cannot connect to either device.  Restarted under OSX and both devices run fine.  Hate to go have to buy a wired board and mouse just for this crappy OS (along with the Windows 7 cost and office cost this is RIDICULOUSLY expensive all because of software developers won't write for what will be the largest company on the stock exchange....insane....
    Anyone with a similar experience who could shed any light how to get this to work would be more than appreciated

    Can anyone help with the latest correct fix for the problem of wireless keyboard and mouse using windows 7 on boot camp pleeeeeeze?
    I bot a wired keyboard to finish the install on the boot camp partition and only have 2 weeks to return the keyboard so I am desperately trying to get the wireless periph's to work on the windows side.  aside from that the OS on the windows side does not recognize the numeric keypad part of the wired larger keyboard.
    help please......

  • Can bluetooth mighty mouse be used with windows XP?

    i installed XP with bootcamp, and my mighty mouse worked the install of windows and everything, until i actuallly got into windows... any ideas?

    It works fine. After setup (use 0000 as pas code) the bluetooth device, you can use it. Upon logging in to the XP, just click once using mouse and then mouse will start working.
    However, not all the functions for mighty mouse (like horizontal scrolling, side button etc) works in WinXp side.

  • Mighty Mouse w/Windows XP?

    Hey guys, how can I go about the process to get my Mighty Mouse to work under my Windows XP partitioned side of my Macbook Pro? Where can I get the Bluetooth software for it?

    yes, if you created the driver disk for Windows from the mac, all you have to do is turn on the mighty mouse, and turn on your bluetooth on the computer and find new devices. You should see it within a matter of seconds.

  • Blue Tooth Mighty Mouse compatability?

    I've been needing a wireless mouse for a while, preferably blue tooth, the new mighty mouse and one logitech mouse are the only blue tooth mouses I've ever seen with more than just left and right click and scroll, but the logitech one was discontinued. I really want to get this now, but I need a mouse for gaming in bootcamp and I've heard blue tooth doesn't work or something, it appears to work when I'm in XP but I don't have anything Blue Tooth to test it. second even if blue tooth wasn't a problem it doesn't say under the Mighty Mouse page if it supports windows.
    does anyone know if it could work in XP on a macbook too? (maybe a little soon to ask questions about it)

    Generally speaking Bluetooth is not fully supported under Boot Camp. So in that regard it may not work correctly. I did attached a Logitech MX900 Bluettoh mouse under Boot Camp and everything seemed fine whereas my Apple Wireless keybaord didn't want to work. So really your milage may vary.
    The thing with the new Mighty Mouse is that it may require specific drivers for you to be able to configure the additional buttons. If this is the case then it won't work as Apple will need to provide those drivers.
    If gaming is important I would go for a USB wireless mouse so you are able to fully configure the mouse and install its software under Windows.

  • Mighty Mouse and Windows XP on  MacBook

    Hello Gurus

I asked windows to pair the device with now passkey but the system later asked for a passkey anyway. Doed anyone know how to connect the mightmouse with windows xp.

    Have you tried either 0000 or 1234? Every Bluetooth device I've ever used responds to one or the other.

  • 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.

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse & Windows XP using Bootcamp

    Are there plans to add functionality for the bluetooth mighty mouse in Windows XP using bootcamp??

    I was able to get it to work in Windows XP. I was not using Boot Camp since I have a IBM ThinkPad T41p, but it should work the same.

  • Wireless Mighty Mouse on Windows PC (one last time). Any luck?

    Anyone with any luck trying to pair a wireless Mighty Mouse with a Windows PC?
    I'm trying to get the wireless Mighty Mouse to work on a PC (not a Mac with Boot Camp). I thought it should have been easy enough since I have other Bluetooth devices that work fine. I know that topic has been discussed before but I haven't come across anything definitive that shows a way to get it to work. Would someone please point me in the right direction. If not I'll be returning it for the wired Mighty Mouse.
    As it stands now my Bluetooth software recognizes the Mighty Mouse but it can't pair it. I'm pretty sure it's a Bluetooth software issue. Your thought? Thanks.

    I've installed 'Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba' to pair my bluetooth headset with XP to get music from iTunes. It's working great.
    I've just tried to pair the Mighthy Mouse with XP and it's working!!!
