Mouse for my MacBook Pro.

Hi I have a MacBook Pro and I want to buy a mouse for it. I've looked at the Apple Magic Mouse but it's a little expensive and also has quite a few bad reviews.
I saw a HP mouse in PC World but they told me it wasn't compatible with a Mac. Has anyone any suggestions?

Logitech FTW!!! Got a stable of 4 different mice from them, including the yet unequaled Logitech Air that never ceases to amaze people.

Can i use my iPhone as a mouse for my Macbook Pro?

Hi guys, im very curious if youre able to use an iphone as a mouse for mac. When i mean a mouse i mean as a regular mouse and not that mouse app thing with the screen going on. I mean literally as a regular mouse which you can use like if it was a normal mouse.
Very curious like i mentioned and i hope theres an solution for this as well.

oh kind of disappointed, thought i could do literally EVERYTHING with an iphone.

Best Mouse for my MacBook Pro?

I don't need a mouse for gaming purposes (let's face it Macs are limited in that department), but I do need one that will work well and won't freeze up. Two USB slots get filled pretty quickly, which is why a mouse with Bluetooth capability is preferable.
Any recommendations? I've heard Logitech is not bad, Microsoft either. I'm open to your suggestions. Is there a list that may be compiled of this information already? Oh, and a PC/Mac compatible one would be great too. Thank you!
P.S. Please don't recommend the mighty mouse; right clicking is a must and getting used to its sensors isn't something I'm willing to do for $70.

I might just try that out since the Microsoft Bluetooth 5000 alternative doesn't appeal to me for aesthetic reasons, or I may wait to buy the Logitech Bluetooth Mouse M555b which is slightly more expensive. I like the design of the latter but I'm not entirely sure if its worth the price tag.

My Magic Mouse for my Macbook Pro is not connecting and it's not the batteries' fault what shall I do?

Plzz help ^^^^^^

How do you know it is not the batteries fault. Have you changed them for brand new good quality batteries, after cleaning the inside contacts of the battery compartment?

Connecting external monitor, mouse & keyboard to Macbook Pro

I am about to place an order for a Macbook Pro ME864LL/A 13.3 inch laptop. I want to connect my existing Dell E173FP monitor, PS/2 Microsoft wired mouse, and Dell SK-8110 keyboard. Can I do this? Do I need to order special cables or other hardware?

This is the Mac Pro desktop forum. I requested your post be moved to the MacBook Pro laptop forum.
What video in does the monitor have? The Mac has HDMI out and Thunderbolt out. You may have to purchase a mini display port to DVI adopter. The mini display port plugs into the Thunderbolt port.
For KB and mouse, you will need either a bluetooth or USB connections. You can purchase PS2-to-USB adopters though.

Dual monitors for my macbook pro

I want to use dual monitors for my macbook pro but I am getting mixed answers as to if that is possible. I want to use just the two monitors, so basically I am thinking I will plug my macbook into the monitors, close my macbook and use a blue tooth mouse and keyboard on the two monitors. I want to know if that is possible. Also, I am wondering about the adapters. I know that one end should be the thunderbolt and then the other end will have whatever the monitor needs (DVI/VGA) but all the adapters I see only have one place to plug a monitor in, and I will be need two.

It is possible.
I currently use a thunderbolt to vga adaptor and a usb to vga adaptor to run two independent monitors.
However, the usb to vga adaptor is not great. I'm using an Eclipse See2 UV159 but the screen does not come out as good as the thunderbolt to vga adaptor.
I'm currently looking for a better adaptor.

Stylus For My MacBook Pro

Hey all, for now I can't afford a drawing tablet so I was wondering if anyone could suggest the best stylus for my MacBook Pro so that I could perform some simple drawings?
Thanks,
Crayton

You know, I really didn't look around as hard as I thought I did. Actually I just saw a few posts here and there talking about how much these things are and it scared me a way. Therefore, you are right, these are within my budget. What I am going to be using them for is for some fairly simple graphics for animating some web commercials for a company that I will be working with. They want simple animation, but trying to work it with my mouse or finger is just stupid (for me). Therefore I thought I go for a stylus that I could draw with on my laptop. But if there is a pad and stylus that is within those prices then I would go for that. Thank you by the way.
Based on the limited details that I have given you, do you think they will do the trick? (I'm trying to think of an example to give you of what they are thinking of).......have you seen those UPS commercials that the dude is drawing on the white wall? Those are very simple graphics, and that is about what they are looking for. My main goal is that I am able to create clean lines. Do you know what I mean?
Either way thank you.
Also, thanks to you other guys and your posts, on my behalf. To answer one of the earlier posts, I was only wanting the stylus to be used on the built-in tablet on my MacBook. Is that what you were asking?
Thanks again guys,
Crayton

Trackpad Fix for All Macbook Pro and Macbook Models.

Apple has issued a update for the Trackpad but the update is only compatible with the newer unibody Macbooks and Macbook Pros.
I have made the following patch that is compatible with all Macbook Pro and Macbook models with trackpad issues. Don't forget to run the registry patch last.
Download it here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SNIG71OI
This should fix the trackpad issues for all Macbook Pro models.
1. Go to Device manager and go to the "Apple Multitouch Mouse Properties."
2. Go to the driver tab and click on Update Driver.
3. Click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
4. Click on "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".
5. Click on the "Have Disk" button.
6. Browse to the location of the included "Apple Multitouch Mouse Driver" folder and hit OK.
7. Click on next and it will update the driver.
8. Double-Click the included "MouseFix" registry file.
9. Restart and enjoy!

Thanks a lot for the effort you made. Rightclick/Scroll problem is not as bad as before, but its still there. What exactly did you change in the driver files? I'm very interested in this.
I think about programming my own drivers. A good base for that will be perhaps the source code for this linux demo:

I tried to update the latest software update for my MacBook pro (which was on 10/12) and after it started to update it restarted like normal but when it started back up it was running painfully slow and none oft programs will open.They all quit unexpectal

I tried to update the latest software update for my MacBook pro (which was on 10/12) and after it started to update it restarted like normal but when it started back up it was running painfully slow and none oft programs will open.They all quit unexpectedly. iTunes microsoft word all of them quit unexpectedly. Help!

Exact same problem with my 2010 MBP 2.4ghz 4gb ram 10.6.8. iTunes said update was needed, Software Update ran with various updates including a security update, truthfully didn't pay much attention, I always install the Apple updates. After the restart it took 3-4 times longer than normal to get to the login screen, same to get to the desktop but I'm familiar with that occurring on update restarts. Unfortunately it got worse from there. Performed a full shutdown and startup. Same long boot. After the desktop finally loads every mouse button press received a 2 minute beachball. I use menu-meters and both processors are under 10%. Waited a few minutes for disk utilities to launch, repair permissions estimates 3 hours for a typical <10 minute process. Activity monitor shows nothing over 10% CPU most of the time however ReportCrash pops to the top often. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. BTW zero problems until this update.

Whenever I connected my Magic Mouse to my Macbook pro retina, the Internet doesn't right away...

Whenever I connected my Magic Mouse to my Macbook Pro Retina, the Internet does't work right away,
and while I disconnected the Mouse, it works immediately......
Does anyone has the same prob. or know why it happens?
Please help me out and thanks for your kindness!

But I tested, I clicked a link and it started loading, and when I got the Mouse connected, it stops the process and got stuck...
And I clicked a link again, now with the mouse connected, it stuck forever, and when disconnected the mouse, it immediately works!

What type of internal hard drive can I use for my Macbook pro?

HI,
My macbook pro stopped working and I took it to Apple store to find out what was wrong with it. I have been told that the hard disk i snot working anymore.
Since I cannot afford to pay Apple's fees, I was told that I can order it online and pput the disk myself.
Can anyone please tell me what do I need to focus on when buying a hard disk and what would be the best hard disk for my macbook pro.
Thank you

A MacBook Pro uses a 2'5" SATA hard drive, so any hard drive with these specs should work. We recommend HGST and Seagate drives, but Western Digital drives also work correctly. Have a look at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
7200 rpm HDDs will give you extra performance. They are not very expensive

How will an external Hard drive designed for the macbook Pro work with my White Macbook? My white macbook has a Firewire 400 and the G-Tech HD has a 800 to 400 compatible cable for the firewire.

I am asking this because I want the G-Tech Hard drive says that it is designed for the macbook pro. Yet, I want to back up faster with by using my firewire 400 which is not an option on the one designed for the white macbook that does not have a firewire (only a USB port.) The G-Tech Hard drive comes with the 800 to 400 compatible cable and has 5400 RPM with 750 GB. Also, I've heard that laptops with low battery (mine all the time) won't have the power for a bus powered Hard drive (as in no ac plug in adaptor.) Can I just plug in my laptop? Any one know the answers from experience with this hard drive?

As far as I know, if a harddrive works with a Macpro, it should work with the Macbook: if your Macbook is low on power, plug in the AC adapter
If your Macbook has a firewire port, then it should be fine. BUt i would do somemore research first.

Can I return My IMac to exchange it for a Macbook Pro?

I have had a IMac 27 inch since march and it is the newest one. I dont like it, so can i return it for a macbook pro? I have the receipt and everything that it was bought with.
Please let me know, because im going to the apple store soon!

If it is past 30 days then no you cant, which by what you said in your post; you purchased in march. If it is in the past 30 days then you will most likely only be able to do it through corporate apple. To the best of my knowledge the Apple retail stores aren't fit to handle returns and exchanges all that well. So call 1-800-my-apple or chat with an apple store rep to ask about exchanges. If you want directions for how to chat then just ask, they are lengthy so I don't want to type them if you aren't going to use them.
Remember, you can only exchange/return within 30days, restocking fees may be applied. See Apple, Inc. For more information.

How do I use my IMac as a second moniter for my Macbook Pro?

Okay, So I would like to use my IMac as a monitor for my mbp. The IMac is a 2010 model and the Macbook is 2012 (Not the retina).
I'm a music producer and I'm sick of having to switch devices so I just want to keep all my stuff on the macbook but the screens way too small.
What I want to do is use the mbp screen with the mixer section of logic as well as use the IMac as a second moniter with the arrange screen.
Is it possible to do this with an ethernet cable?
if so
How do I do it?
Oh and a question on the side, Is mavericks worth the download?
Thanks!!

You can use the iMac as an external display for your MacBook Pro, always that you have got a 27-inch iMac. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
You have to purchase a Mini DisplayPort cable (Ethernet won't work, as this is not designed as a video cable to connect Macs), and then, press Command and F2 keys on the iMac.
If you have got a 21'5-inch iMac, you can use an application like ScreenRecycler, which uses your network to use the iMac as an external screen

IMac or wait for new MacBook Pro 2013 or 2014?

I have a mid 2007 iMac model, and my PC laptop recently died- I am debating right now as to whether I should buy the iMac 2013 since it was recently updated or just wait for the MacBook Pro update said to be released sometime this month. I'm in need of a new computer for sure and can last for a bit on my iMac (it's staring to get really slow). I personally would want a MacBook Pro so I could bring it to school/classes but also going to partition it play some PC Games (they're not that graphic hungry, just TERA, MMO's).
I was considering to get the 2013 iMac now and wait until next year for the rumored Sharp IGZO MacBook Pro coming out early 2014 sometime during the summer before next school semester starts. That being said, I don't want to risk the 2014 pro not releasing until AFTER the school semester.
My second option (the safer route) is to wait for the new 2013 MacBook Pro to release this month (hopefully) and that would be the end of it.
I just want to get the most out of my money as well as the reassurance that it would be energy efficient, durable to last for the rest of my college years. Thanks!

So how long is your college course?
The latest MacBook Pros have just been released. No need to wait any longer!

Mouse for my MacBook Pro.
