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.

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 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

Mighty mouse shortcut question

my new wireless mighty mouse that i got with my macbook works great, but i have a question..
is there a way to make it so that when you either squeeze or click the scroll ball, you go back a page in safari or firefox? Dashboard and expose are on my wireless keyboard, so i don't need them as shortcuts on my mouse. thanks a lot!

As far as is obvious, the MM software is system level; you can generally assign the buttons global actions. The actions will not depend on what application is active.

How do I call Application switcher pressing command+button 4?

Command + tab key brings the open applications icons to the front. Keep the Command key held down and tap the tab key to switch applications.

0 replies...really? Sad face. Congrats, Mac. You are becoming the new Windows. I wonder who will arise to take the place in the market that Apple used to occupy? You know, that place where computers, devices, and software just plain worked? Where Operating Systems were tested thoroughly before release? Ah, those were the days. Shame on you, Apple.

I would like to change the mouse shortcut for ctrl-click to be shift-click

Hi,
basically I would like to change the mouse shortcut for ctrl-click to be shift-click - that is I want to harmonize my browser shortcuts and there are other browsers out there that open a new tab on shift-click, not on ctrl-click.
How can i customize this?
THNAKS!!!

Firefox has always used Ctrl + left click to open links in a new tab and Shift + left-click to open a link in a new window.
Maybe a tab related extension can change that behavior.

How do I change mouse button behavior in firefox to make new mouse shortcuts?

Hi,
For some time now I've wondered if it is possible to easily change the default behavior of mouse buttons in Firefox. What I'd like to do is define a new mouse button combination which replicates the function of an already-defined keyboard shortcut. In particular, currently, when one holds down the shift key while left-clicking the mouse while over a link, that link is opened in a new window. What I'd like to do is to have exactly the same behavior occur when I click and hold the left mouse button while pressing and releasing the right mouse button. This then makes opening a link in a new window a menu-less, one-handed operation.
Anyone have any ideas how this might be done? Thanks!

Hello,
Does this addon - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mousecontrol/ meet your requirement? Also, you can check the list of mouse shortcuts here [[Use mouse shortcuts to perform common tasks in Firefox]]
Hope this helps.

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: assign keyboard shortcuts

Is it possible to assign specific keyboard shortcuts to mighty mouse buttons? For example, I would like to click the scroll ball and have it send command-H (to hide the frontmost application), and I would like to click the left/right buttons at the same time to send command-W (to close the frontmost window).
I have a third party mouse set up to do this (using the third party control panel) on my macbook, but I just got an imac and it doesn't seem that the mighty mouse can do this...
thanks for your help

You can assign keystrokes to buttons with software, such as SteerMouse
<http://plentycom.jp/en/steermouse/index.html>
but the Mighty Mouse does not support left and right simultaneously. It has a single switch, and uses a proximity sensors to determine if it's a left or right click.

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 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
