MS Wireless Mouse 6000 with Lion issue

Just got a Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 6000, running a Mac Mini Server on 10.7.2 and the MS Intellipoint 8.2 software.
On bootup/restart the mouse works but tracks much faster and some of the side buttons don't work. If I bring up the MS Mouse options in system preferences it prompts me to plug in the nano receiver, once I replug it everything works normally but I have to do this every time I reboot/restart. Was using the USB hub in my screen but having it connected directly to the Mac Mini makes no difference.
Anybody else having this issue?

Are you using the most recent driver for your mouse IntelliPoint and IntelliType Pro 6.2.2
If not can find it here http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/drivers/

Does the hp mini wireless mouse work with a mac?

Does the hp mini wireless mouse work with a mac?

The only one that will work with OSX is the one you order with the Mac Pro from Apple. The others don't have the correct firmware for OSX.
I've also noticed that the online store lets have an option for the QuadroFX 5800 to purchase with a Mac Pro
No, it's the NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600. That is the only way to get it. NVIDIA does not sell it directly.

Can't set up new Magic Mouse scrolling with Lion

I am running Lion on my MacBook Pro and just got a brand new Magic Mouse. I can pair it with the computer and move the pointer, right and left click, but no scrolling or middle button clicking. When I go into System Preferences and select Mouse, I only have the options to "Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling," Tracking Speed, Double-Click Speed, Scrolling Speed, Primary mouse button and Zoom using scroll wheel while holding ^Control.
Nowhere do I see the little video and gestures window like I see for my trackpad preferences. I thought maybe I had to install the Wireless Mouse Software, but all I can find is a version for Snow Leopard and my computer will not open the file because it says it's incompatible.
Is scrolling (just up, down, left or right like in a browser) not possible in Lion with a Magic Mouse? What am I missing?

Your missing the Magic Mouse Preference pane. Sometimes 3rd party drivers interfere with this. USB overdrive has been reported the most. Your Magic Mouse Preferences should look like this:
If you can find the culprit and uninstall it, this pane should return.

Wireless Mouse - Use With Powerbook Directly Instead Of Mouse's USB Adapter

I just purchased a new Microsoft Notebook Laser Mouse 6000, and I like it very much, however, I am not able to figure a way to use it without the USB piece that it came with. Can anyone help me? Is there a way to do this (the mouse isn't bluetooth). Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
(I was able to find, in Help, a section on RF, but I dont think thats what I was looking for, and even if it were, I wasn't able to do what Help said could be done).

Thanks for your help (I'd say your name here if I knew it!)
Thats just what I was hoping to get; an answer that acknowledged my computers wireless capabilities and still explained that the mouse wouldn't work without the included USB attatchment.
Why do you think there aren't more bluetooth mice (or accessories in general)? I asked the kid at the BestBuy where I got the mouse if there were any other bluetooth mice or if they were getting more soon that he knew about and why there were so few. He answered that, "yeah, bluetooth was very popular very quickly, but soon after that, no one wanted bluetooth stuff any more." This doesn't make sence to me. I loved my Apple blluetooth mouse before I broke it, and, if it werent almost $70, or if it had greater capabilities for that $70 I would absolutely have purchased another one. I mean, why would somone chose to have an extra piece in order for a wireless device to work? I don't get it - is the RF technology that this Microsoft uses more sensative than bluetooth? Longer battery life? What?
Anyhow, I digress. I'm definately keeping the mouse. Its the Microsoft Laser Mouse 6000, for Notebooks (its smaller than the full size version). Its the only Microsoft product, other than Office, that I will allow in my house. Because it really is extremely smooth, both scrolling with the wheel (which is four way, by the way) and moving it around the mouse-pad, and because I really, really like the zoom button on the side of the mouse, with which you can zoom into any part of the screen by holding that button and scrolling the wheel to the magnification you desire. It really is extremely nice, too nice to give up even though I do have to plug that obnoxious USB thing in, as though my PowerBook wasn't bluetooth et cetera. I also programmed the scroll wheel to open links in new tabs when used to click. Its a very capable little mouse.

Will a normal optical wireless mouse works with a MacBook?

Hi again
Just wondering if a USB optical wireless mouse bought for a PC will work with the MacBook? Just that I hate using touchpads all the time...
Thanks!
--gal--
PC!

The v270 is overpriced, but BTMM that costs twice the price is not? That's some wierd logic there - LOL!
In any case, find a mouse that you like that feels comfortable in your hand at a price that you are willing to pay.
I like both the Logitech and BTMM for what that's worth. I do like the MM better, but YMMV.

Wireless keyboard & wireless mouse interfering with each other

Hello,
Since I've had the mac, my wireless mouse and keyboard interfere with each other.
The mouse tracks very slowly, and I have to keep waking the keyboard.
This seems to happen when I'm using Safari and the airport.
I have new batteries.
Any ideas please.
Thanks for help over this very frustrating problem.
Trump Marker.

I am having the same problem. Now, my wireless mouse sometimes works, mostly doesn't, and often sends the text into spasms (suddenly shifting to the right, or wildly highlighting passages) that require quitting Safari or Word. A few times I haven't even been able to force quit. And one time my computer started making a godawful noise, like it was wailing, until I had to shut down with the power button. I'm sooo sorry I downloaded this update and would like to hear from an Apple representative!

Microsoft Notebook Wireless Mouse 6000 bluetooth issues.

Ok, I bought the microsoft mouse to free up usb ports because I assumed you could use bluetooth for the device as apposed to the receiver it comes with, but I cannot figure out how to get it to work without the receiver. Can you just use Macs bluetooth utility alone or do you need to use the stupid receiver?

'Tweeked' the mouse, now it works...

I seem to be having a problem with my Magic Mouse after updating to 10.8.3. any one else having the same?

I´m having same issues, I´ve read numbers of threads in the forum where it´s suggested you reset PRAM, unpair-repair, reboot, removing extensions files. But nothing seems to work. I can move the cursor and simple click but none of the multitouch functions works.

Z68A-G43(g3) issues with the Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 6000

Hello,
we've buils a new PC with the MSI Mainboard Z68A-G43(G3) and the PC hangs on the start with the code 92. We noticed that the issue is caused by some USB device. After many tests we found out that when the MicroSoft Wireless Keyboard 6000 v2 is connected to the computer, it stops to start.
The keyboard is connected through the Microsoft Wireless Desktop Receiver 3.1 to the USB, which is used to connect the mouse as well.
I'd like to use the kb + mouse set, how can I fix the issue.
Also, I tried to update BIOS via the Live Update, and it's not working, the BIOS download fails.
Any help is welcome.
Regards,
Michal

The BIOS is 4.10.
Also I forgot one note, the KB is working, but only when it's connected alone. When we connect to USB port another device (Flash Drive, USB Wireless, ...) the PC won't start. When the KB is removed, the PC starts without any problem.
Also another note, when the KB was connected and the Zyxel Wireless PCI adapter was connected, PC doesn't start, when KB is disconnected, PC starts.
So there seems to be some issue with the MS device.
Regards,
Michal

The figures you mention only make sense on your intranet. Are you still using the same wireless router. The verizon one is somewhat limited as far as max wireless-n performace. For one thing it only has a 2.4 radio. I like many people who wanted wireless-n performance before they even added a wireless-n gigabit router, have my own handling my wireless-n network.

Issues with Lion recognizing keyboard and mouse functions

Hello everyone,
I have read that there were issues with Lion so I waited for months before I upgraded hoping that there would be enough complaints to warrant a fix from the tech lords. I decided to finally upgrade and the issues with incompatible software came to fruition. Fortunately I don't need to upgrade anytime soon but here's my real issue. I have a logitech mouse and keyboard and Lion won't recognize the keyboard, even with product upgrade. Also, the right click button is not functioning the way it should. I can no longer right click and copy and paster anymore. Being a long time mac head from the 80s I know there are always issues but I have never experienced this many. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I had the same setup with the apple BT keyboard and the V270 mouse. I also work with the lid closed and with an external monitor (I bet that you are also using airport)! Both devices seem to intermittently loose connection, and the mouse cursor doesn't track very well. Looking through postings it seems that airport interferes with BT, and the behavior I've seen seems to support this. I stopped using the mouse because I couldn't get it to work adequately. I'v also tried using BT headphones (Motorola HT820) which at best the sound drops out intermittently, and at worse crashes OS X. I'm thinking that BT on the Macbook Pro just marginally works... I'd be curious if you ever had any success with your setup!

Wireless Mouse Issues on Restart with Snow Leopard

I have a late 2006 iMac (2.15 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) with an Apple wireless mouse. I just installed Snow Leopard and everything seems to be fine with one exception. Upon Restart, the mouse becomes disabled. The only way to get it to work is to move the slider under the mouse back and forth--that seems to re-establish the connection at least until the next time I restart.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a solution?

This is also happening on my MBA(1st gen). Wireless keyboard as well.

Is it possible to disable the trackpad when a wireless or usb mouse is present? With Lion 10.7.2, I can not find the checkbox that was there before I installed Lion. Is the option gone on Lion?

There is no BIOS in OS X. There is only the EFI stored in ROM that is not user modifiable. OS X is probably checking Bay 0 for the boot drive since that is where it should be. It won't check the Tempo drive since it is treated like an external drive. I suggest you open Startup Disk preferences to see if the Tempo device is selected as the boot device. If it isn't, then select it. That will probably shave off a few seconds in the startup time.
