MouseWheelEvent and Mouse With Two Scroll Wheels (Dual Scroll Wheels)

I have a mouse with two scroll wheels (one for vertical scrolling, the other should be for horizontal). Currently, java sees both wheels as the same (the parameters in MouseWheelEvent are the same regardless of which wheel is used). Does anyone know how to get Java to differentiate these two wheels?

Thanks for your replies.

Gives the same as the command line utility. One single VGA monitor.
I tried deleting /dev/vga_arbiter. Didn't change anything, tried unplugging monitor/rebooting, no change. After reboot file got recreated giving the same output on a `cat /dev/vga_arbiter` which looks like this:
count:1,PCI:0000:00:02.0,decodes=none,owns=none,locks=none(0:0)
I'm not all too happy with downgrading the kernel, I'll eventually try it though (after I found out how to do that).
What do you think about this in dmesg:
[drm:radeon_dvi_detect] *ERROR* DVI-I-1: probed a monitor but no|invalid EDID
For me this looked like it could be the origin of the problem. But I have no idea how to circumvent this.

Successfully using BT Keyboard and Mouse with two laptops

We have both a PowerBook G4 and MacBook in the house, and a Cinema display with external mouse/keyboard setup in one room for times when one of us wants in instant desktop system or larger screen.
Recently swapped the USB mouse/keyboard for Apple Wireless, but quickly enountered the challenge of swapping the single BT mouse/keyboard between the two computers. After reading many threads here on the subject, I was starting to think I wouldn't be able to make it work without deleting the pairings each time (not possible if one of the laptops is off in a backpack somewhere).
But today I found a setup that is working well for me. Thought I'd share it. Will post back after a time to let people know if it continues to work smoothly long-term.
1. In Bluetooth Preferences > Settings, I turned off "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" on both computers. We'll use the Cinema display to wake them when docked at the desk.
2. I then paired both BT devices with Computer #1 and made them favorites.
3. Put Computer #1 to sleep. Wake Computer #2. Turn the mouse/keyboard off, then on.
4. I then paired both BT devices with Computer #2 and made them favorites.
Once setup as above, I can swap the two computers out and get BT connectivity for the BT mouse/keyboard, without unpairing. When finished using Computer #1, I put it to sleep and turn off the mouse/keyboard. When I wake Computer #2 I turn on the mouse/keyboard and after several seconds, Computer #2 finds them.
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I'm curious; if you pair your keyboard/mouse with one computer, does it lose the pairing to the previous computer?
To answer your question: yes; the both computer would need to be able to talk to each other via a network connection. If you can connect your Macbook Pro to the Internet wirelessly via the built-in Airport, then you can use the wired ethernet port, via a cross-connect ethernet cable (normal ones are straight-thru), to connect to your Power Mac (or connect them via a hub).
However, if you're not comfortable with networking, you may not want to take this approach.

Using one keyboard and mouse with two computers

I have just bought a 27" iMac and have connected my MacBook to it via the DisplayPort. When using the iMac as an external display for the MacBook I want to be able to use my iMac keyboard and mouse to control. What is the best way of doing this, as I understand Bluetooth will only pair one device at a time? I want to be able to switch my keyboard and mouse between the 2 machines as smoothly as possible... Any suggestions or is this going to be too compicated?

Mighty mouse with two computers

Is there a way to pair a Mighty Mouse with two computers and to them switch back and forth between them easily? I realize I could unpair from one and then pair with the other, but I’m trying to use a Mighty Mouse in lieu of a KVM switch with a wired mouse.

Yes and no. It all depends on the device, and I can't speak from experience when it comes to the Mighty Mouse, but I can speak from experience with other Bluetooth devices.
You can pair a device with multiple computers, but you cannot use it with multiple computers simultaneously. When switching, you'll have to tell your computer to disconnect from the mouse before the other computer can connect to it. Since we're talking about a mouse, reconnecting the mouse might be a little tricky, if you want to use only one. Perhaps adding something like an Optimus Mini Three (or similar HID) with an AppleScript attached to one of the buttons to trigger mouse reconnection could work.
There are software based solutions to your problem, enabling you to connect any HID (Human Input Device) to your computer, and then use a virtual KVM over the network. I've seen a few pieces of software like this in the Apple Downloads Database, but I don't know if they're free.

Back and forth with two finger in folders does not work

It is sad, that back and forth with two fingers does not work in Itunes, Folders, or somewere else than in Safari. You can put the settings back thwo three fingers but than you cannnot mark text with three fingers. It would be nice just to use two finger everywher to go back an forth

Would be nice positive posts too ..

Trick for Pairing Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse With Windows 7 in BC 3.1

My Mac:
Mid-2007 iMac 20", 2.4 GHz; OS X 10.6.2; Windows 7 Home; Boot Camp 3.1
My Problem:
No matter what I tried, including all kinds of tips and tricks found in this forum and elsewhere on the web, I could not get my Apple aluminum bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth Mighty Mouse to pair in Windows 7. Windows 7's bluetooth setup panel would see them, from time to time, but never connected.
The same pair connected quite easily with Snow Leopard, and the keyboard connected before I installed BC 3.1 in Win 7 (never did get the MM to connect in Win 7 with BC 3.0). But with BC 3.1 in Win 7, it was no dice for either one until I made an accidental discovery.
While prepping another Apple bluetooth aluminum keyboard for my wife's Mac Mini, it was seen by my iMac's Win 7, which wanted to pair with it.
Aha! A Big Clue! The Win 7 BC 3.1 generic bluetooth drivers wanted to pair with an aluminum keyboard that wasn't already paired with the iMac. So, I booted back into Snow Leopard, connected a USB mouse and keyboard, renamed the bluetooth mouse and keyboard, and then deleted them. I rebooted back into Win 7, then easily set up both renamed mouse and keyboard which paired quickly with Windows.
Note that I first tried deleting them from the Snow Leopard side first, but Win 7 still wouldn't pair with them. That's when I went back to Snow Leopard and renamed them but didn't pair them with the iMac until it was booted into Win 7.
Finally, I rebooted back into Snow Leopard and paired the keyboard and mouse with OS X. Done.
Hope this trick/tip/hint helps someone else with keyboard and mouse bluetooth pairing problems.

You're welcome. My discovery was quite accidental, but that's often how things happen ... if you're paying attention and are looking for clues.
Sorry you had to trial and error before you succeeded, but as you've probably found, it is necessary to rename the bluetooth devices first, then delete them from OS X.
I don't understand why this trick was necessary, or even what caused it to happen. I've got 6 Win 7 installations via Boot Camp on 6 Intel Macs (2 white MacBooks, 1 Unibody MacBook, a Core Duo Mac Mini, a 27" iMac and the 20" 2.4 Mid-2007 iMac). All were running 10.6.2 and Win 7 (aren't Family Packs wonderful?) via Boot Camp 3.0 more or less without problems, except as noted in my first post.
Only the 20" iMac had problems after the Boot Camp 3.1. Not only did I have a devil of a time pairing the keyboard and mouse, but I also lost the Win 7 activation on the iMac 20" and the OS X partition started showing up as "EFI Boot". All happened right after I updated Boot Camp 3.0 to 3.1 via download from Apple while running Win 7.
I've heard reports of other Mac users discovering Boot Camp had done a FUBAR job on their machines, but this is my first experience. My guess is that there's some dialogue going on between 10.6, Win 7 and Boot Camp that shouldn't be happening. What I really don't understand is why my other 5 Macs didn't have any problems at all with the Boot Camp upgrade to 3.1. Let's hope the Apple Boot Camp team can reverse engineer my discovery and improve the next version of BC.

HP mouses, with smooth non-clicking scroll wheel, like HP XA965AA

Hi HP. I love your mouse HP XA965AA. It hfs the best scroll wheel I ever tried. I'm using it for a few years. But now it's broken.
Please, could you name other, maybe some newer models, that have the same smooth non-clicking (I mean, scroll wheel can be clicked, like a button... but no 'step' scrolling, just the smooth movement of the wheel) scroll wheel.
p.s. I'd prefer a big wireless mouse with high DPI.
Thank's.

You nailed it with the ati-dri package! Had a corrupt checksum! Forced a reinstall and now all good
Thanks for the quick reply!

Using USB Keyboard and Mouse with S6000-f Ideatab

First you need a Microusb to USB adaptor pluged in, then plug in a usb hub I'm using a 4 port unpowered mini hub
then plug in a usb keyboaed and mouse.
it works good in Kingsoft office and AndrOpen office or any app that needs you to type
it does disable the touch pad keyboard, until you unplug the usb keyboard. It's alot cheaper than a blue tooth keyboard
I'm using a Samsung micro usb to usb connector model EPL-AU10WEGXAR
Keyboards tested: Dynex usb and Acer usb
Mouse tested: Kingston usb
Any usb keyboard and Mouse should work.
Also I tested a Thumb drive. Sandisk 8gig it shows up in the file manager .
So you dont have to use a MicoSD card. The one thing back up and restore only uses the MicroSD card slot.
I havent found out how to change that yet.
I dont think any of this is in the Manual I just like to share useful Info.

hi jpwes,
This is Great! This can help a lot of users of the same model,
Nice and Solid review here!
Thanks

Sharing Bluetooth Keyboard & Mouse with two Mac's

I have a PowerPC and a MacBook Pro. I also have a bluetooth keyboard/mouse I use with the PowerPC. Is there a way I can also use them with the MacBook Pro and "hot swap" between computers? (By "hot swap" I mean thru some software or configuration switch to use the keyboard/mouse with one computer and then with the other without having to go thru disable/discover etc, etc). I'd really would like to avoid having to purchase another bluetooth keyboard/mouse (I have limited desk space). Thanks in advance for all replies.

This might not be exactly what you are after but I suggest you give it a try.
http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/
It uses TCP/IP connections for the 2 computers but allows you to access each computer's desktop on the primary conputer's screen and move the active use of keyboard and mouse from one to the other as well as having some other features.

Wireless keyboard and mouse with emac

Hi,
Does anyone know whether the new wireless keyboard and mouse will work with eMac without built in bluetooth, and USB 1.0?
Should I use a USB 2.0 dongle or a USB 1.0 dongle.
Any help would be very appreciated.
thanks

That is how I use my macbook. When I start up in the moring, I turn the mouse, keyboard and monitor on first, I then hit the power button on the macbook and immediately close the lid. The macbook will then boot up on the external display. Just in case you allow the macbook to go to sleep, you need to go to allow bluetooth devices to wake the computer. You set this in the bluetooth system prefs.

In Keyboard & Mouse, under Keyboard Shortcuts there is a listing for "Turn full keyboard access on or off" but it doesn't seem to do anything on my computer.

Can we share apps and songs with two different apple IDs but the same computer?

we both got an iPod Touch for Christmas and we have two seperate Apple IDs and I cant figure out if the music she has purchased and the music i have purchased can be combined. We are using the same computer (windows 7) and same user acct. We also have itunes gift cards and before we start buying stuff i want to know how this all works. Thanks in advance and I must admit i am new to apple and not the greatest at it.

I've tried everything..unplugging and re-setting the Apple TV, restoring to factory settings and starting over...nothing seems to work. I'm not sure why the software upgrade would have affected it, but that's what triggered this problem. It doesn't seem right that if it's accessible on my computer and it's all music purchased by me, that it's not all accessible on my Apple TV!

How do I share games and music with two kids ipod touch 4g and my iphone 4s

I have Iphone 4s and want to share paid games and music with both of my kids Ipod 4gen touchs. Don't have them set up with individual itunes accounts yet due to fact I don't want to pay for a game three times or a common liked song three times. New to this, please help?

As long as the other iPods are signed into the iTunes account that originally purchased apps, they can just redownload them again and not be charged. If in the USA you can also redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
