New mighty Mouse compatibility with MAC OS X (10.3.9)

I would like to know if the new mighty mouse would work with the MAC OS X 10.3.9 version. On the specs it seems that it requires a 10.4 version ???

The box says 10.4.6 or later. The instruction manual says "to use your mouse and take full advantage of its features, you need: [...] 10.4.6 or later."
The instruction manual also says: "If your Mac is running an earlier version of Mac OS X, you won't be able to install the software from the disc and you may not be able to use all of the features…"
The manual states that users of OSX 10.3.9–10.4.2 can "assign primary and secondary buttons, and activate Exposé. Display Dashboard only in [Tiger]"
So, there you go, from the horse's mouth. It'll work fine, but not as full-featured as if you were running the latest OS.

Mighty mouse compatibility with Beige G3

Hello,
I have an interesting problem with trying to connect a mighty mouse to my beige G3. When I depress the mighty mouse button, the computer thinks it is a control-click rather than just a normal click. This seems to happen about 80% of the time if I can recall correctly. (a control-click brings up a submenu of other choices rather than the regular single click.)
I am suspecting the problem is because I am running OS 10.1.5. The mighty mouse is suppose to only be compatible with OS 10.2 and later. But generally, it seems to work fine on my OS 10.1.5 system - except for this control-click problem.
Would anyone know of any solutions to such a problem?
Should I try "USB overdrive" perhaps?
http://www.usboverdrive.com/USBOverdrive/News.html
My other solution is to just use another USB mouse. My other USB mouse (from my blue and white G3) works fine on the beige G3. The problem is only with the mighty mouse.
Thank you for any suggestions,

The final problem has now been solved. I am a little embarrassed about this because I now realize I had no clue how to operate the mighty mouse. All the problems listed above I have now discovered were due to my own operator error. Oops. I did not know the mighty mouse had a left and a right button! Its so elegant that you cannot see this. I thought that when you click down on a mighty mouse, it was always a regular click. What I discovered today was that the mighty mouse can sense if you click on its right side or its left side. What a smart mouse! It can distinguish between pressure on its left versus its right. If you click on the right side of a mighty mouse, that signals a right click. I wasn't aware the mighty mouse was so sophisticated. No wonder the submenus (that traditionally pop up when you control-click) kept appearing so often when I clicked the mouse - I must have been right clicking without being aware of it.
Problem solved. I suppose I should have read the instructions before I plugged in the mighty mouse.
PS
I tried the free 30 day trial of USB overdrive [1]. Nice program. It wasn't necessary to operate the mighty mouse on my beige G3 but it sure is useful - especially for customizing the mouse buttons. Great program.
There is a beta version of USB overdrive that works for OS 10.1.5. Works very well.

Magic Mouse - compatibility with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1

Hello,
I have recently installed Lion on my iMac. After this I also bought the Magic Mouse. Now I experienced that you can not adjust all movements of the mouse. For example you can not change/adapt the speed of double clicking. While using the Magic Mouse with earlier operating system you have more possibilities to modify the settings of your mouse. Searching for un update for the magic mouse I can only find an updat from 2009 for Leopard.
Hope someone can help me with this problem as I can not use my mouse in the best way,
Raf

Those options have moved to System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad tab > Mouse options.. button > adjust double click slider

New Mighty Mouse have better scrollwheel?

The new iMacs ship with a new mighty mouse -- anyone know if there's changes to the scroll wheel so it won't get dirty as easily?
http://usage.wordpress.com/2007/08/14/apple-quietly-updates-mighty-mouse/

Just packing up my old iMac for sale and noticed the color difference. There is a small weight difference (New one is lighter),and the older one with the grey sides and ball matches the new iMac better.

Mighty Mouse: Problems with it everyday!

Can someone please advise me on what to do with my new mighty mouse? I've had it for a couple of months now, and everyday it is affected by at least one of three functional glitches. These are:
1. The click, scroll and side bars stop functioning (the movement sensor still functions)
2. The index finger scroll pimple stop functioning in the up direction only (but not the down).
3. The movement sensor becomes slow and jittery.
I paid good money for this state of the art bluetooth device, and I expected more. I used a wireless mouse designed for a windows OS last year at it never had problems like this. (And it cost less than half the price!)
I know if I take it back to the shop they will just take it away and test it and I'll be without a mouse for a few weeks, so what should I do? Is it faulty? Is this normal?

This is not normal operation. You should have it checked out. This will help with the scroll ball not functioning in one direction.

Blue Tooth Mighty Mouse compatability?

I've been needing a wireless mouse for a while, preferably blue tooth, the new mighty mouse and one logitech mouse are the only blue tooth mouses I've ever seen with more than just left and right click and scroll, but the logitech one was discontinued. I really want to get this now, but I need a mouse for gaming in bootcamp and I've heard blue tooth doesn't work or something, it appears to work when I'm in XP but I don't have anything Blue Tooth to test it. second even if blue tooth wasn't a problem it doesn't say under the Mighty Mouse page if it supports windows.
does anyone know if it could work in XP on a macbook too? (maybe a little soon to ask questions about it)

Generally speaking Bluetooth is not fully supported under Boot Camp. So in that regard it may not work correctly. I did attached a Logitech MX900 Bluettoh mouse under Boot Camp and everything seemed fine whereas my Apple Wireless keybaord didn't want to work. So really your milage may vary.
The thing with the new Mighty Mouse is that it may require specific drivers for you to be able to configure the additional buttons. If this is the case then it won't work as Apple will need to provide those drivers.
If gaming is important I would go for a USB wireless mouse so you are able to fully configure the mouse and install its software under Windows.

Is Adobe Elements 10 compatable with Mac OX version 10.9.2 ?

Is Adobe Elements 10 compatable with Mac OX version 10.9.2 ?
I have just bought a new Mac and would like to know if Elements 10 will work on it please.

I am strictly an Elements Windows user but try to find common ground between Premiere Elements Windows and Mac to give a viable response to Premiere Elements Mac questions.
On this one, I suspect that the bottom line is going to be "try it" and see what happens in your specific computer environment.
Please review the discussion in the following thread
Re: Premiere Elements 10 crashes on disc templates
Also, you are in for major display problems with Premiere Elements 10 on a computer that uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card.
There the fix is to roll back the driver version to May 2013 in order to get Premiere Elements 10 to function properly.
Please review, consider, and then let us know the outcome when your schedule permits.
Thank you.

New to using Firefox with MAC: How does one save a single jpeg image from the web (as in a right click on a pc?)

New to using Firefox with MAC: How does one save a single jpeg from the internet, similar to using the right mouse click on a pc?

If your question comes about because you have a single button mouse, it's time to visit your local computer store and get a ''real'' mouse for that MAC. I don't "get" Apple, they sell their hardware for almost twice what a comparable PC would sell for - and then they leave out what is probably the most important time saving control, the right-button.
See this for setting the hidden pref for context menus in Firefox, for Mac's.

Thanks in advance.

It's Intel based so it should work.

Will the wired Apple Mighty Mouse work with Windows Vista SP1?

The above question. Will I have to download any extra drivers? Is the MM really that bad? Thanks.

*" Will the wired Apple Mighty Mouse work with Windows Vista SP1?"*
Officially...No: http://www.apple.com/mightymouse/specs.html
In reality... probably. Why would you want it anyway? There are many many better mice out there.

Are ntfs files compatable with mac os lion

are ntfs files compatable with mac os lion

Files aren't ntfs or hfs or ufs or zfs.
Those are file systems that is the basis for how the OS stores the files on the computer. Files are store inside a file system, but the file system doesn't normally affect the file itself.
Mac OS X can natively read nt file systems. If you want to write, then you'll need something like Siddharth Khanna pointed out. I've also used Tuxera's product. You can use a combination of MacFuse and NTFS-3G for free, but if you need normal everyday access, that's going to fall short, I think.
On the other hand, Windows can't natively handle HFS+ at all. If you need to format an external drive to work with both, I'd suggest using exFAT. Mac OS X from 10.6.6 on can read and write it, and Windows back to some version of XP can read/write it. As the name implies, it is much like FAT, but on steroids. It can handle very large file sizes and disk sizes.

I received an email containing a spreadsheet created using Mac Office 2004 on my new MacBook Air equipped with Mac Office 2011. When I saved the document, my Finder lists the document without the .xls file extension. Why?

I received an email containing a spreadsheet created using Mac Office 2004 on my new MacBook Air equipped with Mac Office 2011. When I saved the document, my Finder lists the document without the .xls file extension. Why?
All other .xls documents created by Mac Office 2004 retained the .xls file extention when I migrated them over to the new MacBook Air.

I know what happened. When I saved the document I somehow hit the Hide File Extension box. Sorry to trouble this group. I simply resaved it w/o activating the Hide File Extension feature.

powercadd 6 is compatibility with mac osx 10.6?

That's a pretty old version, significantly predating Mac OS X 10.6, so I doubt it will be compatible. I'd suggest you contact the developer of PowerCADD and ask them:

Odd Wireless Mighty Mouse behavior with new Mac Pro?

Hi,
I have a brand new Mac pro and Wireless Apple Mighty Mouse & Keyboard.
The mouse however is not operating properly, it is jerky and slow to respond on a intermittent regular basis. I can move the cursor around the screen but it will stutter and jerk slowly then pick up ok?
I had the mouse and keyboard with my iMac and it worked fine. I have run all updates and re-installed but to no avail. The keyboard is fine.
I suspect it's a hardware issue with my new mac Pro but i'd love it if someone has any other possible causes.
Thanks.

Hi, there's a quite a few people with similar problems, including myself.
My keyboard likes to drop it's connection for no apparent reason, which in turn likes to mess up my mouse and cause it to stutter for a while. Pairing up new devices can do this too, I've found.
It's been thought that some Mac Pro's came with their WiFi and BT wires incorrectly fitted, if you have a search you should find a link to the tutorial if you want to try switching them around.
That said, it didn't make any difference to my BT keyboard and wireless Mighty Mouse, so I switched them back.
I've been hoping for a software fix, but no joy so far, glad I got a three year warranty as standard.
