Prefrences for Microsoft laser Mouse

G'day, just brought a new Microsoft laser mouse 5000 and can only find very basic preferences for it. I would like to be able to push the tilt wheel and go-to dashboard.
Any ideas?

Have you downloaded and installed the driver software for this mouse?

  • Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 and Leopard/Mac

    I wasn't able to get my Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 working under 10.4 but am trying again with Leopard - so far fruitlessly. With the latest version of Intellipoint for Mac (6.2.2) installed, my bluetooth seteup assistant will find the mouse when it's in pairing mode - but when it attempts to pair using an empty passkey it always fails.
    Help please!

    I just got this mouse and DID successfully PAIR it with my Macbook.
    I did these steps.
    1. Install Intellipoint 6.2.2
    2. Connect it using the supplied dongle. It should work fine.
    3. After you have tested it with that, remove the dongle and go to set up bluetooth device from the Bluetooth menu option (enable this in system preferences).
    4. On the setup choose Mouse (not Any Device like I saw in some other posts)
    5. Click Continue and while it is searching, press and HOLD the pairing button on the mouse. The battery display should be solid green while you are doing this (not green and red). After a few seconds, the display should say "Microsoft Wireless Laser 8000" mouse is found.
    6. Click Continue, and it will attempt to connect and pair. Again, press and HOLD the pairing button on the mouse while it is doing this. If successful, it should then show up as paired in the bluetooth pref pane (see image below).

  • Best bluetooth laser mouses for macbook ??

    Hi,
    Could anyone suggest me couple of good bluetooth laser mouses for macbook ?
    I wish to have these features
    1).No transceiver
    2).It should support back button
    3).Battery Life Indicator (preferable)
    4).Price under 50 $ ..:)
    Anyone using "Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 " ??.. i read that mac users are having problem with using back button in this particular model .. is that true , if so, any workaround to overcome it ??
    Thanks ,
    Nelson

    Hey Nelson, I happen to use a logitech bluetooth travel mouse. I think the model is a M-RCQ142. It needs no transmitter, or receiver to be hooked up to the laptop. You just turn it on, and boom, you're working. It was under 50$, around 35 i think. It has a back button, its white, and works great. The Mac salesman at CompUsa sold it to me when i bought my Mac, But i think you should be able to find it at Best Buy or online.

  • The wheel of my bluetooth mouse (Thinkpad laser mouse, wireless) doesn't work for Firefox.

    I am using Thinkpad laser mouse (bluetooth). The wheel works for msn, IE etc, but doesn't work for Firefox.
    I have checked with agent via live chat. None of the configuration regarding mousewheel is bold (under about:config), but then there was some problem with internet...
    What should I do? Thanks for the kind help!

    Uninstall the "mouse suite". Worked for me.

  • Syncing Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000

    I was wondering if the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 could be synced to the Mac with Apple's bluetooth technology. Microsoft has provided a USB bluetooth device, but I was wondering if I could use the Bluetooth Setup Assistant to set up this particular device. Everytime I try, it says "Device not found." I have installed the Microsoft IntelliPoint software that came with the mouse.

    You're really asking in the wrong place: iSync is a Mac OS X application used to synchronize contact, event and task information with selected mobile handsets, smartphones and Palm handheld organizers.
    Instead, you should post a query in the Bluetooth forum, here.

  • Pair mouse ... Microsoft Wireless laser Mouse 8000

    Have your tried this before
    By Alvaro Becerra
    Hi, I tried all the tricks listed here with no luck, but I think I've finally found the solution.
    Try using "any device" option, then, when the assistant tries to pair with the device, there's a button called "passkey options", click it and then select the option "Don't use a passkey".
    The mouse will pair successfully. Mine is working great on my iMac.

  • Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000

    I unwrapped a new MS Wireless Laser Mouse 5000. It appears to have a plastic wrap on the top. Like the cling wrap on some electronic items. It doesn't seem to want to come off. The sides are the same texture as other MS mice. Anyone else seen this plastic cover and tried to remove it? I don't want to damage the surface.
    Thanks,
    - Craig

    Found out that it has a slick finish.

  • Lenovo Wireless Laser Mouse 0A36188 looking for receiver

    Hello,
    Can I order a receiver for my wireless mouse model 0A36188? If not any lenovo nanoreceiver will work, how can I order the one that works with my mouse? Thanks.
    Boris

    Hey, try to uninstall all USB drivers and restart, but first remove the receiver of the mouse. On restart, windows will reinstall all USB drivers. Then plug in the receiver to the mouse.

  • Sleep Problem - Microsoft Wireless Mouse

    Hi Folks!
    I have a MBP Unibody, summer 2009, and I installed Snow Leopard last week.
    My computer won't sleep unless I close the cover. I know what the problem is, it is apparently my Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse, which is plugged into my USB port. Removing the transmitter from the USB port solves the problem.
    Anyone know how this problem can be fixed? I like my wireless mouse!
    WJD

    I have a very similar problem. I have a 15" MBP March 2009. SL 10.6.1. I have a logitech Optical Mini Mouse, when I close the lid it trys to sleep, once the snoring or breathing led starts dimming, it wakes up and then trys to sleep again in a loop, an endless loop.
    I installed the logitech driver 3.1 for OS X 10.6, and that did not help, it behaves the same with and without the driver.
    removing the usb dongal solves the problem, and it sleeps just fine.
    Also drop down lists in firefox flash quickly and are nearly unusable, but work perfectly once the dongal is removed.

  • Something nice to say...about my bluetooth laser mouse, &c.

    I would like to take a break from my rants over on "New and Improved Shipping Thread" and say something nice about a piece of equipment I received as part of my T400 order.
    My new little bluetooth laser mouse really is the bomb, and I truly enjoy using it. I have never been a mouse kinda guy, preferring keyboard shortcuts all these years. However, I find this mouse to be wonderfully complementary to the T41 I use now, and look forward to including it in my T400 kit, once it arrives. I appreciate the roller wheel tilt (new school for "alt+back arrow"), and its general feel in use. Its upper surface is covered in same/similar lid material as TPads.
    The tilt wheel, finish and feel in hand, these are some of the small reasons why I have stuck with IBM/Lenovo. Does anyone recall the little flip out legs on the backside of earlier laptops. I do, and always looked at the thoughtfulness given to the design of these machines as beyond compare. The spring loaded CD trap door on the Aptivas? A bit weird, but this feature gave really clean lines to that machine. ThinkLight? Shlt, when you have to take notes in a darkened lecture hall because the department cannot afford an expensive high-lumen projector, pretty much screwed when you can't touch type. ThinkLight!
    Just my two cents.
    A hui hou,

    From further investigation:
    100% Reproducible Failure
    When I opened Firefox 11.0 with only a single tab, the window control icons (Minimize, Maximize, Close) would highlight properly on mouseover and work properly when clicked. When I then opened or switched to another tab, there was no highlighting on mouseover and they no longer responded to clicks. Other mouse actions did work properly, including window control icons in other applications I tested.
    I uninstalled and then reinstalled Firefox 11.0, set it to a new empty profile, but the problem persisted. I checked for other reports of this problem in Firefox, and while I did find a (very) few similar reports, I found nothing to indicate a general problem in Firefox.
    Successful Fix
    I uninstalled ThinkPad Bluetooth Laser Mouse, Lenovo Mouse Suite, ThinkPad UltraNav Utility, ThinkPad UltraNav Driver, and rebooted, which installed just the TrackPoint with the Microsoft PS/2 Compatible Driver, and the problem did not recur. I think installed the two UltraNav packages with System Update, and then the Lenovo Mouse Suite with the ThinkPad Bluetooth Laser Mouse, and the problem still did not recur. It continues to work properly.
    My Assessment
    My assessment is that something subtle had gotten screwed up in Lenovo UltraNav and/or Mouse Suite, which was corrected by uninstalling and then reinstalling everything. I do not think this is a problem in Firefox.
    Hope that helps,

  • ThinkPad Bluetooth Laser Mouse button hardware issue

    I love my mouse, but the left button has recently been loosing its sensitivity, i.e. I need to click it several times before it responds. The issue is the same on several computers running different operating systems, so I strongly suspect this is an issue with the mouse itself. Does anyone know about cleaning techniques or other ways to troubleshoot the possibility of dust or dirt under the buttons?

  • Scroll wheel on Microsoft Comfort mouse 4500 not working in Framemaker 7

    Hi folks
    It is another scroll wheel not working in Frame 7 question.  I have just attached a Microsoft Comfort mouse 4500 to my machine, downloaded the software, IPx86_1033_8.20.468.0, for this mouse as required by Microsoft  and the scroll wheel does not work, this is the fourth type of mouse installed of different makes.  Is there a fix for this new mouse so I can scroll in Frame or can anyone recommend a mouse that will work?
    Microsoft are saying the mouse is not fauly as it works in all other programs and PDF as well.
    I have removed and reinstalled all software as recommended by Microsoft, and even tried installing in different configurations still to no avail.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated,

    Now that search is working, we can find:

  • Microsoft Wireless Mouse Wheel working upside down

    I just installed OX 10.7 Lion yesterday.  I have an Intel based Macbook and I use a Microsoft Wireless (non-bluetooth) Laser Mouse with it and ever since I installed Lion the Wheel Button funtion scroll up/down and left/right is backwards (down/up and right/left) from the way it is supposed to.  I tried every setting and switched to another Microsoft Wreless Mouse and it is doing the same thing.  I have updated to the latest version of Microsoft Mouse software but to no avail.  It is very frustrating when I'm scrolling (which I do a lot).  Has anyone else run into this problem.  I've tried everything I can think of to correct this but I have been unsecussful up to this point.

    Scroll Direction Is In Track Pad and What I Wrote Its Same. I Just Think Its Easy Way To Explain With Mouse Pref.
    Thank You Also

  • Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse Thumb Button

    I'm the new owner of a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz that I just bought today. Along with it, I purchased the Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse which moves and operates beautifully. The only thing is that I can't figure out a way to program the thumb button. I've seen some complaints on the web from people from a few months back who were unable to resolve the issue. I was hoping someone here could shed some light for me.
    Thanks for your thoughts and time.
