My iMac my wireless mouse tracking has reversed.

since adding a Magic Trackpad to my iMac my wireless mouse tracking has reversed.
To scroll up I need to swipe my finger down and to scroll down vice versa. Any reason for this and how do I fix?
I have another problem with the trackpad. If I join to my keyboard with the Apple Magic Arrow joiner the trackpad will not work properly. It seems OK when not joined up?? Would that be a blutooth problem perhaps?

I am using Windows 7 with Parallels

Yes i guess u are using Lion. Change your scrolling preference in settings. The setting comes by default. Not sure about Win7

IMac G4 Wireless Mouse?

Can some one help me? I want to have a Wireless Mouse for my iMac G4 (800 Mhz), is that possible?
Thanks for the Help!

A third party wireless BT mouse with USB dongle should do adequately; while
a later version iMac G4 1.25 w/ optional BT card can support wireless mouse.
The former is most likely what you meant.
edit:
{the recessed port in an iMac G4 may present an issue with the third-party BT
wireless module, should it not be able to plug fully into the port; the keyboard
port may be OK to use with a mouse, though USB power from Mac is best.}

IMAC 27 - attached a second monitor - mouse tracking problem

After attaching a 19 inch lcd via the mini display port and a dvi adapter my mouse tracking has gone bad, not just from one screen to the other even just on the main screen if you move the mouse around it jumps several inches and is very inaccurate. problem goes away when the second mointor is unpluged.
Can anyone help?
Stephen

I'll add to the chorus: I have the 27" iMac, and I get the same mouse jumpiness when I connect my 24" Acer P244W display via the Mini DisplayPort-DVI adapter. Oddly enough, the mouse jumpiness is more pronounced when I use my old wired MS Intellimouse Optical than when I use the included Magic Mouse. I've confirmed with another Mac (and with this Mac minus the second display) that the wired mouse is functioning normally.
Basically, given slow, constant mouse movement, the cursor will hiccough for about a tenth of a second once every 1.0 seconds, like clockwork. Given more normal use, the cursor will continue to hiccough every second and will also occasionally jump to a completely unrelated location on the screen. (The wired mouse was the worse off here, jumping unpredictably several times a minute.)
I've unplugged the secondary display for now, but I kinda sorta really need it for Flash and video work. Apple, help!

How to mirror iMac screen wirelessly through a mac mini connected to an hdmi port of HD TV?

I have a new Mac Mini connected to a Sony HD TV. On the same network but in a different room I have my iMac. I can control the iMac with wireless mouse and keyboard from the same room where the TV and Mac Mini reside. I would like to work on my iMac but use the HD TV as my monitor so I can show slideshows and iMovie projects without transferring files to the MacMini first. Is it possible, and if so, how do I go about setting it up?

Your iMac likely supports a higher resolution than the TV does. The maximum standard TVs today use is 1920x1080, and if your iMac is an Intel Core i3 or i5, its own display is at least that high of a resolution. Which model of iMac do you have?
If your iMac is running at least Leopard (10.5), then both machines have Screen Sharing built in. It can be accessed from the Finder, but as often as you would like to use it you should go to Macintosh HD > System > Library > CoreServices and drag it (the icon) to your Dock. That will create the shortcut to get to it easily. As I noted before, the built in Screen Sharing VNC software doesn't do full screen, but third party VNC software can. Both machines do not need to be using the thrid party VNC software, just the one viewing - in this case your Mac mini. Chicken of the VNC is a popular free one, fairly easy to use:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/
For more info about how to set up Screen Sharing and how to use the included application:
http://mac.appstorm.net/how-to/os-x/using-screen-sharing-in-os-x-leopard/
Note that you will have to use the settings in System Preferences, regardless of what VNC software you use. Both systems will need to have Screen Sharing settings enabled.

How do I disconnect a wireless mouse?

I have an iMac with a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard. I also have a MacBook Pro with a wireless mouse. Today, for some strange reason, the iMac's wireless mouse disconnected from the iMac and connected to my MacBook Pro. I finally was able to reconnect the iMac mouse to the iMac; however, it is still showing up in the list of wireless mice on my MacBook Pro. It is disconnected from my laptop, but is there any way I can get it off the list?

System Preferences>Bluetooth. You should be able to delete it there.

Fixing wireless mouse compatibility

I have a wireless mouse that has its own nice little dock (it's a Razer Naga Epic). However, I ran a silly "clean up" application and it seems to have removed whatever file was necessary for the wireless functionality to work. (Before you ask, I have made two new profiles — one as an admin, one just a regular user — and neither one worked. I've also repaired permissions and basically done everything possible to eliminate hardware issues or anything besides "Oops, the file was deleted.") Since it stopped working almost immediately after the file was deleted and my last backup was over 100 days ago (I'm horrible, I know), I was wondering if it was possible to just reinstall OS X without losing everything, or if there's anything like a "repair" option that I can try.
Barring that, does anyone know which files most keyboards and mice are dependent on? If any of those got deleted, I can just copy them from the backup I do have. (The mouse has a 12-key entry pad on the side, so it also functions as a keyboard. Before it stopped working wirelessly — wired, it's just fine — I would get a "setup your keyboard" prompt every time I plugged it in or connected to the dock. Now, nothing.)
Any help is much appreciated.

I honestly don't think that would do anything, especially since it worked just fine before the drivers were released at all (it originally shipped only with PC support). I think the folks over at Razer actually sped up their work a bit to see if a Mac-specific driver would help me out, because the original date for that was quite a bit later than it actually shipped.
In any case, the only .plist I can find related to it is within the package contents and it appears to all be in line.

Recently switched to Mac...Mighty Mouse or Wireless Mouse??

After being a PC user for 15 years, I recently bought my first Mac...a black Macbook. I try to avoid using the trackpad unless I need to and I'm going to purchase an Apple mouse. My question for you guys, since I'm a noob, would you recommend an Apple Wireless Mouse or Mighty Mouse for use with my Macbook?
[I'm currently using a Logitech MX1000 Laser with my PC and I love it!]
Thanks for the help, I frequent these forums everydays. You guys are an invaluable resource for a new switcher!
Black Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.6) Dell Latitude D800

The Mighty Mouse gives you several options that you set in System Preferences.
- Single-button clicking, like traditional Mac mice;
- Left and right clicking, like on Windows machines;
- Center clicking (you press on the scroll wheel itself);
- Side "squeeze" click;
Most or all of these can be configured independently of one another.
The wireless mouse also has no scroll wheel.
Note, however, that there is not nearly as much need to right-click on a Mac. A right-click brings up a contextual menu, which generally provides a handful of useful commands, which vary with the application. But virtually all contextual-menu commands are available via the traditional menus.
(To try out contextual menus, hold the Ctrl key while clicking. This simulates a right-click on a single-button mouse.)

Wireless Mouse not tracking properly

I have been using a wireless mouse for 2+ years without any issue. Last few days the mouse does not track smoothly across the screen but "jumps" all over the place. Changed the batteries, reset the bluetooth, rebooted, ect... but problem resurfaces after a few hours.
There have been no changes to the physical location (i.e. interference).
Any ideas ??

You own the Mighty Mouse. I would recommend doing a SMC reset after you have cleaned the mouse. Here is how you do each:
Cleaning
Using a clean sheet of white paper using a lot of vigor rub the mouse ball on the paper for about 30-60 seconds while depressing the mouse ball. The goal is to dislodge any dirt and gunk that has built up beneath the ball and on it's surface.
SMC Reset
Read the instructions carefully you are looking for instructions for an Intel based iMac.
Regards,
Roger

21" Imac suddenly stopped finding the wireless mouse (with new batteries)

Despite my changing the batteries in the wireless mouse, and despite the fact that the Bluetooth is working with my wireless keyboard, I can't get the IMac to recognise and connect with the wireless mouse. Any ideas?

Hi Steve,
I just started having the same problem with my mouse. First it started not waking the computer. Today even the space bar wouldn't wake the computer. But I'm more concerned with reconnecting with the mouse. How did you delete the mouse in the Bluetooth devices list? I can't seem to delete it. Is it because I have a USB mouse plugged in until I fix the wireless one? I doubt that has anything to do with it. It sounds like your fix worked, but I can't delete the mouse. Help! Jeri

Logitech wireless Mouse, 24" iMac w/OS10.6.8. No work?

Bought a new (cheap) Logitech M325 wireless mouse. Would not work. Took it back to the store (Best Buy). It was demonstrated as working fine on the stores new display model iMac. However the sales person said I needed to activate it's use thru the Bluetooth function and showed me how. I got a brand new replacement mouse and tried it. No luck. The Blue tooth would not "find" it. Online discussion with Logitech says I got bad advice in that the Bluetooth has nothing to do with it. Just plug it in and it should work. I tried all the troubleshooting ideas they had, such as new batterries and trying different USB ports, keeping the mouse close etc. Logitech says send it back to them and they will give me a new one. Already tried two new out of the box ones. I am suspecting the claim that it works with OS10.6 may be unwarrented. Anyone got a clue as to what could be wrong?

I found this Logitech model of their website.
It says that ot works with OS X 10.5 and greater.
It is the old fashioned wireless Infared style model of wireless mice, not Bluetooth.
The Infared receiver plugs into a available USB port.
You need to plug the receiver into one of the main powered USB ports on the back of the iMac.
You can't plug the receiver into one of the keyboard USB ports as there won't be enough power to power the receiver.
Did you install the latest Logitech Control Center preferences software?
That may make a difference as to whether it works or not.

When i wake my iMac there is no wireless mouse or keyboard functionality. I have to reboot the computer to make them work.

If my imac is left sleeping for any length of time there is no wireless mouse or keyboard functionality and the imac keeps returning to sleep. I have to hold the power button to wake the machine as the mouse and keyboard do not work. T o rectify the problem i have to hold the power button until the mac switches off and then re-boot the machine.

Don't sleep the computer and its HDs, just the display. I've been doing that for years, run 24/7, and never have an issue, but then again I only use wired keyboards and mice.

My iMac my wireless mouse tracking has reversed.
