Mighty Mouse Setup

Ok, so I just bought a new wireless mighty mouse. I have it setup and running and all the software installed. It works... but I can't get it to do the simple things my old mouse did. I can't get the left and right buttons to function independently of one another.
For instance, If I press both right and left buttons at the same time it defaults as a left click, instead of reading it as both a left and right click. While holding down the left button I can't use the right and vice versa.
Is there a way to get it to do this?
Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

ok thanks, yeah I found SteerMouse after posting this. I'm gonna try it.
I can get it to middle click. But like the other buttons, I can't hold left or right click and middle at the same time.
It's just very frustrating. I originally bought this mouse thinking 4 buttons would get me more funtionallity. But It just doesn't work that way. I could get more functionality out of my old 3 button mouse by binding functions to combined button clicks.

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse & Windows XP using Bootcamp

    Are there plans to add functionality for the bluetooth mighty mouse in Windows XP using bootcamp??
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   I run Bootcamp, as well as OS X

    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.

  • 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.}

    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.
    Still happens with 1.5.2

  • 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.

  • Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse stopped working

    Any ideas on how to make it work?
    I have a regular wireless mouse which does work, but the mighty mouse doesn't. I've tried turning it off and on several times, replaced the batteries, cleaned the little ball, but nothing works.
    Thank you,
    Lee Anne

    Hi Lee-Anne-
    Does anything happen at all? Does the Mac see it in the Bluetooth setup?
    It may be time to invoke your warranty or AppleCare.

  • Mighty Mouse does not work right with my macbook why?

    I have a macbook 2.2 ghz intel core 2 duo and i am running 1.5.8 When I connect my mighty mouse to my macbook it seems to work fine. But for some reason I can not use the right click and when I try to scroll up and down using my finger in the middle of the mouse it does nothing. But when I connect the mouse to my new Imac it works just fine. Why is this?

    Hey Matt,
    Have you run Software Update since you got the mouse? The system requirements state:
    System Requirements
    Mac computer with Bluetooth wireless technology
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0* or Mac OS X v10.6.1 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0
    Existing keyboard and mouse for setup
    Two AA batteries (included)
    http://www.apple.com/magicmouse/
    You probably need the Wireless Mouse Software Update in order for the mouse to function properly.

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse connection

    I frequently use my MBP as a laptop. When I carry it out of range of the bluetooth Mighty Mouse, I get the notification that it has disconnected, but when I get back in range, the MBP acts as if it had never been connected to the mouse in the first place.
    I have to go through the whole setup routine to get the mouse to connect again. Is there any way to get the MBP to remember the mouse and connect automatically as soon as it's in range?
    Walt

    Wscrivens,
    Try this...
    Under "Bluetooth" select "devices," select your Bluetooth mouse and then "add to favorites."

  • Mighty Mouse Will Not Pair

    I got a new iMac in May. The first time I paired the wireless mighty mouse it worked great. The next time I had to turn it iff to change the batteries it would not automatically pair when I turned it back on. The green light just kept blinking. So I plugged in a USB mouse and manually went and found it and it worked. I just turned it off again and had the same problem and now it won't even pair when I plug in a USB mouse and go find it. it searched for devices and it finds my mouse and then I hit "continue" and it tries to pair and then times out and says "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful"

    Hello,
    Go to System Preferences/Bluetooth and follow these instructions to re-pair the MM:
    You can set up an Apple wireless keyboard and mouse using Bluetooth Setup Assistant.
    Make sure the batteries are properly inserted in the keyboard and mouse, and the keyboard and mouse are turned on and discoverable. See the documentation that came with the keyboard and mouse for more information.
    To use Bluetooth Setup Assistant:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Bluetooth.
    Click Devices, and then click Set Up New Device.
    Follow the onscreen instructions to set up your keyboard or mouse.
    If you have replaced the batteries in a mouse that is paired with your computer, click the mouse to reconnect to it.
    For more help using Bluetooth, click the Help button in the bottom-right corner of Bluetooth preferences.
    "The next time I had to turn it iff to change the batteries it would not automatically pair when I turned it back on" I've had good luck when changing out the batteries to move the slider on the back up and down one time, that usually will re-pair the mouse for you, if not, click the Bluetooth icon in your Status Menu Bar, click Browse Device. Select the Mighty Mouse in the list and click Browse. That will reconnect the the mouse for you.

  • MIGHTY MOUSE BUG! can you reproduce secondary button failure?

    The bug is extremely simple: If a user decides to move his home folder to a different partition from the system partition & correcting the path in netinfo manager to point to the external partition, the secondary button function on any mighty mouse (wireless or wired) will not function, regardless of where this "function" assigned
    BTW in case you ask, my system is set up that way for backup purposes.
    steps to reproduce:
    You need MacOs X 10.4.8 or later installed on a system with at least 2 partitions, the system being installed on one of them.
    1 create user "test"
    2 login to "test" user
    3 check system prefs for mouse & activate secondary button if it is not activated. Test that it works!
    4 copy "test" home folder to external partition (+ authenticate if appropriate)
    5 open netinfo manager
    6 find user "test" & correct path to home folder from "/Users/test" to "Volumes/whateveryourothervolumeiscalled/test" (or something to that effect, depending on your configuration: my config has an external volume called Users. I therefore point the new home folder to Volumes/Users/test)
    7 save config & quit
    8 logout & login twice (yes I don't know why but it doesn't seem to register the path to the new home folder after the first logout; go figure?)
    9 test your secondary button function & it does NOT work. All other buttons/functions work normally
    10 RETURN TO initial setup by correcting path in netinfo manager back to "Users/test" (save, quit, logout & login twice making sure the home folder selected is on the system partition): check mighty mouse secondary button & it works again!
    This has been reproduced with 3 separate test users on 2 different systems.
    Just to be on the safe side, could anyone else plse reproduce the bug & send feedback? I guess any system with 2 partitions on internal drive or a separate HD drive will do.
    Thanks for anyone's feedback & suggestions

  • Corded Mighty Mouse only middle-clicks in bootcamped Win7

    ... whereas in OSX, middle click ceased to function.
    So let me explain this further:
    I have a corded Mighty Mouse, model number: A 1152
    In OSX Snow Leopard, it is only capable of left clicking. I don't know why right and middle click won't work (the wheel also only goes up). In System preferences I have set Left and Middle buttons to Left click; right button to right click. But I use ctrl+click because right click won't work. So, I'm pretty much used to this setup although the Mighty Mouse is only a year or two old.
    Then I installed Win7 via boot camp. Clicking was weird during installation so I managed to get over it with the keyboard (which works fine btw). But then, after installing all the updates and the windows support software it still only middle clicks. Sometimes, maybe depending on certain pressure angles on the mouse, it will do a normal Left click, but the next click is mostly middle.
    So how come middle click doesn't exist while in Snow Leopard but in Win7 there is only middle click?

    did you use osx bootcamp to make a windows driver disc ? if not do so

  • 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.

  • YES... the wireless mighty mouse is here!

    I rate it 10 out of 10
    I just got it today... best mouse ever made for mac osx users. If you like wireless, then this is a must buy. I had the previous wireless mouse for a few years and this is much better. Same classic/clean look but with lots of functionality and buttons in it's sleak design. More comfortable to move around with it's lighter weight and very accurate laser pointer then the previous wireless version. Touch sensitivity is the coolest thing I've seen in a mouse and it makes working with not only the contextual menu a breeze (right mouse click), but also your widgets and expose. Definately check it out!

    Well I'm already on my second mighty mouse in a year, the first one got dissected because the scroll pea rollers got clogged, so I went back to my original one button mouse which has worked flawlessly for years.
    I then bought a iMac as a gift and it came with a MM, I just couldn't bare to inflict them with this mouse with all it's complications and problems. So I took it and gave them my original one button mouse.
    Now it's been a few months later and my MM is failing, the scroll pea is malfunctioning again. I clean it with rubbing alcohol, but it doesn't seem to work all the time.
    I'm looking to replace this mouse with a third party option that will work reliably and consistently for years on end, like Apple mice used to be.
    It's a shame, because I have a uniform Apple setup and now I have to use some off brand and inconsistent product.
    By the way the scroll pea doesn't give you true diagonal scrolling, it can't, there is only a set of four rollers inside, not 8, so you only get traction in one direction at a time.
    Also one has to lift their left finger off the mouse to do a right click, one can't do both a left click and a right click at the same time, or hold one down and let off the other like regular mice.

  • Wireless keyboard and Wireless Mighty Mouse failure

    Hello,
    I have just bought an iMac 20" with a wireless keyboard and wireless mighty mouse.
    Both the keyboard and mouse will not work properly.
    I followed the installation/setup instructions and paired first the keyboard and then mouse. Then the problems started.
    1. Mighty Mouse tracking is dreadful and very slow (even after adjusting mouse properties)
    2. Keyboard started to drop connection and then when awoke started repeating keys (as if key stuck)
    3. Keyboard then disconnected and will not be recognised when searching for Bluetooth devices nor can I pair it again.
    4. When both were working the Airport extreme wireless network would be lost (but I think that this is a red-herring and irrelevant)
    Interesting once keyboard stopped working the wireless mouse tracking improved.
    The only software I have installed since taking the iMac out of the box are (in order)
    - Running/installing all Apple updates (including firmware 1.1)
    - Installing Firefox 2.0
    - Installing Adobe Reader 8.0
    - Installing Stuffit Reader 11.0
    - Installing Canon Bubble Jet Printer driver
    - Installing latest version of Skype
    If I use a USB mouse or keyboard they work ok.
    This is the second replace imac within 2 weeks. The first had the same problem.
    Can anybody help please as I'm new to Mac's after switching from a PC and I do not want to have to chuck either the keyboard or mouse or have the pain of Apple supplying me with a 3rd replacement iMac

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Congrats on the new Mac.
    Did you Repair Disk Permissions after the software updates and installs?
    Whether this solves this issue for you, it is something that you should always do. Go to Apps/Ut5ilities/Disk Utility and select your OS X HDD. Press Repair Permissions. Run Repair Permissions until no more repairs are reported.
