Keyboard/Mouse Preference Pane Deleted

I was having problems with my right click feature with the trackpad. When I would use both fingers on the trackpad it would not give the right click menu. I did check that the option was enabled in the Keyboard/Mouse preference pane. So I went into my System Folder / Library / Preference Panes / and deleted the Keyboard/Mouse preference. I rebooted thinking it would just recreate a new preference pane. The right click feature works now, but there is no Preference Pane for Keyboard/Mouse in the System Preferences. How do I get it back?
Thanks in advance.

Wow Andrew!
You want to delete preferences not preference panes. You really shouldn't even get into the System folder unless you're sure of what you're doing. If you want to try Trashing stuff try it out first from your User folder. Anyhoo......
How do you get it back? Easiest way? Click on my name, get my email and I'll email you back the pane.

Keyboard & Mouse preference pane not opening

Hello.
Today I realised, that my keyboard and mouse preference pane is not working anymore.
I started the System Preferences app from the dock, clicked on Keyboard & Mouse and nothing happened. In the upper area the text "loading Keyboard & Mouse" appeared (or whatever the English translation is) but the preference pane didn't come up.
I only realised that now, because I created another user and wanted to set the mouse tapping behaviour and in the new account it's not working as well.
I know I could open the pref pane before, when I configured my own account 2 weeks ago.
There was however a keyboard firmware update in the meantime.
Could that have anything to do with this error? Is anyone else experiencing this behaviour? Can anyone give a hint on how to get the pref pane back?
Thanks in advance.

I noticed this problem on a new MacBook Pro as well. However my experience is a little different. First of all I imaged the MacBook Pro from a Leopard (10.5.2) image I made on a Mid 2007 Aluminum iMac. I noticed that after imaging the MBP, I could not load the Trackpad pref pane without glitches. Also the embedded quicktime tutorials for the gestures would not load, as if they were missing. I thought that using an image created on an iMac (which doesn't use the Trackpad Gestures) was causing problems. Then I found out that the user of the MBP sometimes could not even load the K & M pref pane. After some trial and error I found this thread, but Flavio's fix did not work for me. Our Leopard install was done with a custom setup and English is the ONLY language installed. So I can't move English up because it is the ONLY option.
Here is my workaround and explanation for my particular issue. Maybe someone will find it useful.
If you ever have trouble getting it to open again, just click on the Show All button in the upper left of the window. You will see a weird glitch and then all of the preference panes will show up. Then Click on Keyboard & Mouse again and this time it will work. In order to prevent the problem from happening you have to make sure to not leave the Trackpad tab selected when closing the System Prefs window.
When it is working correctly and you open the System Prefs window, If you click on the Trackpad section, it will glitch out and only partially open. Just click back onto another tab (Keyboard or Mouse, etc.) and it will fix itself (similar to the other fix).
Remember, if you select the Trackpad tab and then close the System Preferences pane, the next time you load up the Keyboard & Mouse pref pane it will get stuck indefinitely and you will have to repeat the above procedure to fix it again.
ALSO - I once read an article that listed the filepath of the embedded gesture quicktime files. I believe they are buried in the system somewhere, perhaps in an application package. If someone knows where they are located and could share, maybe I could verify if they are even in my image to help troubleshoot.

My mouse preference pane does not look like Apple's

Hi all.
Just bought the Magic Mouse, and I like it. Would like to do some fine-tuning, though. On the apple.com there's a movie about the mouse, with a shot of the pref pane for mouse settings. It looks like this:
Mine does not. It looks like this, with much less options (sorry for the Swedish language, but I think you get the point):
What am I missing? I have the latest system (10.7.4). The apple.com it says that I need Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0, so I tried Software Update but it says I'm up to date on everything.

Exactly. Secondary click is on, but locked to ctrl+click. I would like to modify this. The apple.com screen shot looks like it offers that option, but I might be wrong.
I ran my old Logitech through SteerMouse, which offers a world of options. Apple stuff usually don't need to, since they're right from the start, but in this case I'd really like some more options.

Keyboard and Mouse Preferences pane is blank???

Hi everybody,
that's my first post into Apple discussions, so I hope I'm posting into the right forum
I can't change my keyboard or mouse settings anymore since the pref pane is blank (white with nothing on it).
Where can that come from??
Thanks for any advice!
Cheers
Livia

No need to thank me
I just like to always have "clean" threads and if the answer is somewhere else, I link to that particular thread
Otherwise everybody who looks for a solution for the same question would have to search through the forum to find my other thread
That's like always leaving a place for the next to come just the way I would like that place to be when I arrive...

Mighty Mouse buttons 3 & 4 not working

I am using the Mighty Mouse with a G4 PowerBook and the latest version of Tiger. At first the mouse worked fine. But a few days ago buttons 3 and 4 simply stopped working. I press them and nothing happens.
I checked the mouse preference pane and it was all there as it should be - it still showed the mouse with all 4 buttons properly allocated. Re-installing the software made no difference.
Am I missing something - or has my Mighty Mouse just malfunctioned?

Without using something like USB Overdrive (http://www.usboverdrive.com/USBOverdrive/) then I'm afraid you're stuck with whatever the Mouse preferences allow you to set buttons 3 & 4 to.

Bluetooth Mighty Mouse - right click works for a while and then stops...

I recently bought a wireless Mighty Mouse, installed all the supplied software and paired it with my Macbook Pro. I've set up the right click as Secondary button and have been using it without any problems.
Then recently I've noticed that after using it for a while (in general applications like Aperture, Firefox etc), the right click will perform a Primary (left) click instead. Even if I take my hand completely off the mouse and click on the right side, it will perform a left click function. If I switch the Mighty Mouse off and back on, it starts to work normally again.
Is this a general issue with these mice? Or is mine just faulty? I can't see that it's a hardware fault as it returns to normal when I turn off/on the mouse. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

My new MacBook Pro and Wireless MM just arrived Friday and I spent Saturday transferring files from my PB G4 and installing Parallels/WinXP.
My Mighty Mouse worked fine initially, but then the Right Click (Secondary) reverted to Left Click (Primary). I reversed the settings to a "Left-handed" setup, the settings stuck. But the right button would not hold a Secondary setting.
I then paired the PB G4's Wireless Mighty Mouse (that I've had for several months) with the MacBook Pro - same issue surfaced. Both mice work consistently as represented with the PowerBook AND my IOGear bluetooth mouse works perfectly with both the PB and MBP (although the Mouse Preference Pane that comes up for the IOGear mouse is a reduced feature set that does not allow any additional button programning.)
I think it's a Preference Pane code issue. If the others who have posted here have ALSO installed Parallels, then the Parallels tools may be creating conflicts.

Problems w/ Mighty Mouse

So I started using one today w/ my MBP. I set the scroll ball to dashboard and the squeeze to Expose. Neither of them work. I swapped and no luck.
I can't get any functionaality out of either. I loaded the s/w from the CD and rebooted. Same issue. Ideas?

Troubleshooting Mighty Mouse
Mac OS X 10.4.2 or later
The Mouse tab of the Keyboard & Mouse preference pane will not appear in System Preferences unless your Mighty Mouse is plugged in. If Mighty Mouse-specific information does not appear in the Mouse tab of the Keyboard & Mouse preference pane when your Mighty Mouse is connected, the computer does not detect the mouse on the USB bus. Try unplugging the mouse and plugging it back in. If it still does not appear, try the steps listed in article 58033, "USB Device Troubleshooting." Also check if another mouse is plugged into the computer—sometimes another mouse may interfere with the functionality of Mighty Mouse.

How to remove Mighty Mouse software...

Does anyone know how to remove the Mighty Mouse software and go back to the default mouse preferences pane that came with OSX?
thank you
David

I have had this same problem. I had Tiger, and my mighty mouse worked fine. But then I installed the CD that came with it and it ruined the mouse pref pane so that it looked like you were using the mighty mouse in 10.3.9.
I had no fix to this, but when I got my wireless mighty mouse and installed the software, it restored the preferance pane and now my wired mighty mouse has the tiger features again.

Using Mighty Mouse with 10.7.2

My center button (the scroll wheel) will no longer bring up Mission Control after upgrading to 10.7.2. The physical button is still working, so if I change it to function as an Expose button then it works fine. Anyone have any advice to get this working propperly again?

Hi Macrobin,
Thanks for the answer. After the plain left mouse click, activating Mission Control with the center mouse button is the one I used most often.
Small addition to your answer: you have to first set Mission Control for that button in the Mouse Preference pane and then assign Mouse Button 3 in the Mission Control Pref. In my case it shows a warning about conflicting buttons, but Mission Control works. Switching that button function in the Mouse Prefs afterwards (even back to Mission Control) will kill the functionality again. So there is definitely something wrong with the Mouse Preference pane after the 10.7.2 update.

Cannot Access Keyboard and Mouse Preferences

For some reason I've had lots of problems accessing the Keyboard and Mouse preference pane of the System Preferences.
Prior, I could open the pane, and whenever i switched between keyboard, mouse and trackpad, I would get overlap. Basically, bits and pieces from each setting wouldn't disappear when the new device (either keyboard, or trackpad, or mouse, etc) was selected, so everything would look mumble-jumbled.
Now, however, I can't even open the settings. I've rebooted, Repaired permissions and relaunched finder, but have had no luck. When I click on the Keyboard and mouse Button, all I get is a message in the title bar of the window itself saying: "Loading Keyboard & Mouse..." with no effect. Any ideas???

I was having the same problem too. I deleted some preference file (sorry I can't remember which one, I found it here on the forums) and it started working. Sort of... Now I can actually open up the "Keyboard and Mouse" pane, but when I click on the mouse button I don't have the correct options.
I have a 2-button wheel mouse connected, but I don't have the option to assign the wheel button a function. I can't assign the left and right buttons functions either. The only option is to make the "Primary mouse button" left or right. It also has controls for tracking speed, scroll speed, and double-click speed. But I've lost the ability to assign the buttons to the functions I want them assigned to.
The even stranger part is that the buttons do what I want them to do still. My right button acts like a right-click (control-click) even though it doesn't show on the mouse preferences.
I want to be able to change the wheel button so that it doesn't activate my Dashboard but I can't. If I press too hard while scrolling up or down with the wheel the Dashboard is activated. It's so annoying...

Problem with "Keybord and Mouse" on Preference Pane

I can't open "Keybord and Mouse" on Preference Pane.
When I click on it, it doesn't open, just keeps loading until I click any other option except "Keybord and Mouse". Otherwise it opens an empty preference pane window, displaying nothing but the gray background.
I can't access any keybord or mouse configuration. How do I fix it?

Hi, did anyone fix this problem yet?
My problem is that i copied the 10.5.2 HD from my old Macbook to my new MBP (with the new multitouch trackpad) to save time and to avoid a new install. Everything works except the mouse and keyboad preference pane. It seems that the demos for the swipe etc are non existent, and therefore the UI does not seem to work. This seems to make sense, as the Macbook did not have the options for multitouch. Does anyone know how to fix this? Is there any way I can reinstall the missing components to avoid a fresh install?
Thanks alot for help. You can save my time
Cheers, André

Mighty Mouse - Mouse/keyboard system preferences gone

I have a bluetooth mighty mouse instaled in my computer but now I cannot access the mouse/keyboard preferences in the System preferences. They do not appear. The mouse is working just fine but I cannot change anything in the preferences. And I cannot watch the state of charge of the batteries either. I cannot see nothing. That tab is all grey now.
I tried also to do so via the bluetooth preferences but when I ask to open the Bluetooth preference of the mouse a window appears and says that the mouse preferences are not shown because I haven't any mouse connected to my computer.
I remember that when I had access I changed the name of the mouse.
I already deleted the connection and tried to re-install it again. But the mouse appears with the same name, and the problem persists.
Please... Any bright soul?

I have a slightly different problem: My bluetooth Mighty Mouse works in a basic mode (primary & secondary button, scroll wheel) but the side buttons and scroll buttons do not work. In the Keyboard & Mouse preferences, I have Dashboard set up for the scroll button and Expose set up for the side buttons. They do not work. If I set up the primary or secondary buttons for Dashboard or Expose, it works. In the Bluetooth tab, the Bluetooth Mouse Name is blank and Battery Level is grayed out. In the Bluetooth Preferences, it shows Mighty Mouse connected. Any ideas? I am running OS X 10.5.4 (but it didn't work in 10.5.3 either)

Problems with older BT mighty mouse - no pref pane?

I recently was given an older BT mighty mouse (meaning the model without the trackball). It works great, except when I go into the mouse preferences, it won't let me set the buttons. With my wired mighty mouse, I get a menu that shows the mouse and lets you pick what each button will do.... my BT mighty mouse doesn't show this at all. I currently have no right click option, and can't get anywhere to set it.
Is this normal, or is there something I'm missing that needs to be installed/changed?

I have tried using the keyboard/mouse software that came with my wireless keyboard -no luck.
Have deleted the com.apple.bluetooth.plist file, rebooted, cleared the PRAM, and reinstalled with no luck.
Have deleted the device and set it up again - no luck
I have an option to set my tracking speed and my double-click speed and that's it. No options for the buttons, nothing...

Preference panes for Magic mouse and Trackpad not upgraded

Hi I upgraded my i5 iMAC27'' to Lion and the bluetooth track pad and magic mouse do not support any gestures. I have looked at all the similar threads but none seem similar to mine as I do seem to have the correct preference panes for these devices. It seems to just have really old panes from snow leopard.
Anybody know how I can fix this ?

Just tried a copy of a working reference pane from macbook air (2011) and it looks juts the same. The problem is deeper than the pane file itself.
