Mighty Mouse (not so mighty here lately)

My mighty mouse sat in retirement for about a month because the batteries dies and I just never got around to replacing them. Finally...yesterday I went and bought some batteries (Energizer...not some cheap ones) and put them in. The mouse worked fine for about the first hour. Then it lost connect...then it'd connect...lose connection...connect. Well, maybe the batteries were duds...so I put in new ones. NOT!!! Still randomly disconnecting. I went in and looked at my settings and nothing has changed (that I can see) and I don't get it. I've had this mouse for over a year and this is the first trouble I've had with it. Any help? Suggestions? Ideas?

Okay...so I went back to check the settings again and I got this box when I went to the mouse and keyboard tab in my system preferences
"The Bluetooth tab of Keyboard & Mouse preferences is hidden because you don't have a Bluetooth module installed or attached to your computer."
***? Unless someone snuck into my laptop and removed it...what's the deal?

MIGHT MOUSE NOT SO MIGHTY

i've dumped my preferences and nothing works. Mr.Mighty mouse just won't scroll up, time and time again. It works fine some time, then just quits again.
i swear, between Adobe and Apple, I think i'm going to scream.
anyone have any suggestions before i go buy another logitech?

I don't have a solution for you other then I would return it and get another. I would never give up my Mighty Mouse though (aside from a little hand pain), I've had not one problem with it yet. I've had several mouses and although logitech is a great mouse (in my opinion), it doesn't compare to the Mighty Mouse (once it works properly). Hope you get the problem fixed. Sorry for not actually helping here, just had to throw in my words.

Part replacement for Apple Wireless bluetooth mouse ( not mighty)

I am looking for a bottom panel for my old apple wireless bluetooth mouse (not mighty). My son has dropped it down and that is how is not switching off anymore. I am thinking about replacement of that anyway removable panel (you remove it to place batteries),so I guess this part must be around somewhere. Any help is appreciated, thank you very much in advance!

Hello m:
The only people that can answer that are the Apple people. As far as I know, those parts are not available from the web site.
Frankly, I think I would buy a new mouse as something may be damaged internally.

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!

Rolling Ball on Mouse Not Working

I have read several of the threads about cleaning the roller ball on the Mighty Mouse but none seem to repair the two I have here in an office. What makes it more frustrating is that some of us have eye sight that is in need of zooming and the feature is great except with the ball not able to roll downward we cannot zoom out once we zoom in unless I bring out another mouse and connect it to the computers.
In short, the roller does not roll downward (left, right, and upward work fine). Is there a way to get inside the mouse to see what is going on and clean it properly?

That looks like it will work but I'm nervous about going somewhere I should not be. Here is what I tried today and so far it is working.
I took a few sheets of "sticky notes" and with the very corners tried sticking the glued end into the very thin space between the ball and housing. I tried this both with the glued side out and glued side in (toward the ball). It made the ball tacky enough to grab some of the dirt from inside. The glued side out was able to get a little bit of gunk out too. I also modified what the Apple site said to do by pressing the primary button down and instead of just rolling the ball upside down I rolled it on the glued section of paper. Again it was enough to grab some gunk. Once done I had to carefully wipe the housing off as there was some residue left on the outside from the sticky note.
I'd be interested to find out if this works for anyone else as it is less invasive than opening the mouse.

Mouse not working when reinstalling OS X with install disk

I am trying to reinstall OS X 10.3 on iMAC G5 after a hard drive crash with the help of the original install disks, but my wireless mouse does not work anymore. Any ideas how I can solve this or go through the installation process with the keyboard alone? I couldn't find a keyboard shortcut to tab from a list in a window to the select button...

How is your mouse not working? Is it dead?
Is the wireless mouse a Mighty Mouse or a 3rd party mouse?
Does you mouse need batteries?
*Just in case it's dirty:*
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302417 How to clean your Mighty Mouse
Take a piece of bright white paper, turn the mouse upside down on it, press down on the ball, and run the mouse quickly in circles over the paper. This will remove all the gunk that's building up on the ball
TIP: To get to the gook inside the scroll nipple use a plastic toothpick.
"Other Options:" Wear latex disposable gloves. A box of same can be purchased from your local Dollar Store or Pharmacy.
Some cell phone leather cases actually fit right over the Mighty Mouse.
Clean/wipe the Mighty Mouse off with a damp cloth/rag prior to going to bed each evening.
Some users have found using the small alcohol pads quite successful. These can be obtained from any drug/pharmacy or Dollar Store.
Only do the following if your warranty has run out:
Cleaning inside and dismantling the Apple Mighty Mouse
If so, then I suggest (if your 1 year warranty is not up and/or you have Apple Care Protecton Plan) you call Apple Tech Support & ask for a replacement.

Windows 8.1 freeze on any hardware scan or changes. USB wireless keyboard mouse not working

Problem : System Freezes frequently on any hardware scan or changes.
Symptom : Wireless Keyboard Mouse not working.
Caused by : VMkbd.sys located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers.
Issue : VMware player or VMware Workstation installed on Windows 8.1 causes compatibility issue leading to system freeze
Soultion : Please follow steps below
Step 1: Start > run > regedit
Step 2: Locate to this registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e96b-e325-11ce-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Step 3: On the left side plane, Right click on the registry {4d36e96b-e325-11ce-BFC1-08002BE10318} and then export it as backup. Just to be safe.
Step 4: Edit the UpperFilters, The value current would be kdbclass vmkbd. Remove the vmkbd. So only value left would be kbdclass.
Step 5: Restart your system and connect your USB wireless reciever. If all is well it will not freeze your windows now.
This worked for me. Hope this works for you. Enjoy..!!

Magic mouse not working in mountain lion

magic mouse not working in mountain lion....What can I do?

Have you tried a fresh set of Alkaline Batteries?
Was it ever paired to another divice?

Mouse not working in open applications

Mouse not working properly on menu bar in certain applications: Text Edit, Calendar, Notes. You can hover over the red X but it will not close the application. Also unable to click on a text form and drop the cursor in to edit or copy text. Can open preference box but uanable to navigate because mouse will not click. Have to now use keyboard to open and close most applications. Virus? Setting that got magically turned on? Have powered down, checked batteries, etc.

This is not due to a virus, or any other kind of malware.
First, is this a wired mouse or a Bluetooth mouse? If it's a Bluetooth mouse, try changing the batteries, even if they should be fully charged.
Have you tried a different mouse? If not, try that. Borrow one from a friend or buy a cheap wired mouse and see if that makes a difference.
If the problem affects all mice, try restarting in safe mode. Does the problem happen while in that mode? If not, and if it comes back when you restart normally, then you have some kind of third-party software that is causing the problem. The trick will be figuring out what it is.

How and why did you install that? What steps did you take in that process. I can then help with some steps to undo them.

This only works if you add her account as your primary accoun on your device and enable syncing "Documents & Data" in "Settings >iCloud".

Do you have access to another Mac to see if the disk can be read by it? If it can't then you're pretty sure it's the disk. If it can then there may be issues with your optical drive which might be cleared up by using a cleaning disk on it, one that uses dry brushes (no liquid).
If you have access to another Mac and it can read the iWork disk make a disk image of it so you can move the disk image to your iMac and install from the disk image.

um..pretty simple solution. when you bought this iphone its obviously still linked to the old sim which is probably a UK carrier. you need to contact whoever you bought it from and get them to pay the fee to use this phone on a saudi arabian sim.
