Problem with a non-apple-mouse

Hi,
I don't like the one button mouse, so I use a USB mouse on my Power Mac G5. But the mouse is extremly imprecise but on a windows computer it works fine.
Can somebody recomend a mouse which works fine on a mac?
Thanks

I presume you've set the cursor speed and suchlike in System Preferences/Keyboard and Mouse?
Did the mouse come with driver software or software for it's own Control Panel?
Generally most mice should work fine, but if you still have a problem, Logitech are a good choice..

  • Panning with a non-Apple mouse

    I'm using a Razer Orochi, and I want to be able to pan (horizontal and/or vertical scrolling, the same way as a two-finger drag on a touchpad) by moving it. Is there a button config or keyboard shortcut for this?

    I mentioned the model & driver for completeness and macro programmability, not because I expected the pan functionality to be provided by a 3rd party driver.
    There is no way that I can see to setup any non-apple mouse to be able to pan, 3rd party drivers or not.
    Something as simple as hold control while dragging would be perfect.
    AFAICT there is no support for panning with a mouse is OSX.
    I can't even find a way to pan with the keyboard.

  • Reaching Safari menu with a "non-Apple" mouse and keyboard

    How can I switch to "Safari" menu to select "preferences" to go to general - open "safe" files after downloading
    as I do not have an Apple keyboard therefore I do not have a "command key"

    Are you using Safari for Mac or Safari for Windows, necil?

  • Can't use non apple mouse with hard drive test?

    Having trouble reading an installation CD for a new scanner. Laptop with Tiger fine. Not iMac. So, was trying to run Hardware Test. Inserted disk, restarted with option key down. Image comes up. Can't select anything because Macally mouse won't work in harddrive test mode. Mouse plugged into port on back of computer, not in keyboard. Do I have to find the original apple mouse?
    Thanks for help! Judy

    It should work, I have a non-Apple mouse that I use for that and it works just fine. Perhaps Macally mouses require special software to run, maybe you should check their web site. I know my Wacom, what I usually use, is completely dead until my login window opens.
    So, yeah, I think you need to find the original Apple one.

    I am sorry to say that, but your security makes my life miserable – it’s been 2 months since my Apple ID account got stuck, and since then I cannot update 37 applications (to date), i.e. most of my applications. Half of them I bought. I also paid for iCloud, and it is not working. I paid money and I am stuck with old applications and no iCloud. Your security *****. Your service ***** too. It took your service 1 month to finally understand why this happened to me, and it took me tens of emails to you and 3 hours of telephone conversation to find out the reason for my problem. And the problem is still not fixed. NOT FIXED. You just leave your customer – the one who paid you money and spent so much time with you trying to help you help me – and nothing. You tell me:  “Vitas, Stick your stinky iphone in your *** and enjoy life, we do not care!” *************.
    It is ******* outrageous, and you should know that,  guys. Get into the ******* database and correct the bug. Get someone in the partners-telephone carriers company (it is Orange as carreer and Cellcom as seller of the phone)  authorized to Identify me in personal encounter in one of the branches in Israel (where I live) and make sure it is really me, and get the ******* system accept my password and let me use my phone.
    Otherwise **** off. None of my friends will get my advise to buy an iphone or any of apple products. And I think you should be very attentive to cases like this, guys. Do your work for the money we pay, or disappear. There are many others eager to take your place, and if the problem is not fixed I will eventually go to the others. My patience is lost, and as soon as I can afford another phone I will change it. AND I WILL TRY TO GIVE BAAAAAD PUBLICITY TO APPLE – I am threatening here, so ACT NOW.

    Well, it seems waiting is not my strong suit..! I renamed a javascript file called recovery to sessionstore. This file was in the folder sessionstore-backups I had copied from mozilla 3 days ago, when my tabs were still in place. I replaced the sessionstore in mozilla's default folder with the renamed file and then started mozilla. And the tabs reappeared as they were 3 days ago!
    So there goes the tab problem. But again when I started mozilla the window saying "a script has stopped responding" appeared, this time the script being: chrome//browser/contenttabbrowser.xml2542
    If someone knows how to fix this and make firefox launch normally, please reply! Thank you

  • HT1369 Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed and mobile programs associated with my non apple cellpho

    Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

    I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
    Go to 'Settings'
    'Music'
    Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
    Then connect to iTunes and sync!

  • Using an AE with a non-Apple network

    Hello,
    I have a new 802.11n airport express that I would like to use solely for streaming music from an ipod touch to my stereo (airtunes). The problem is that I am sharing wireless with my neighbor (yes sharing, not stealing, he gave me his password), and I would like to get the AE on that network, which is a non-apple network. Since I don't want to use the AE for internet I could just set it up with it's own network without internet and run airtunes that way. Unfortunately, in order to connect to it I believe I would have to disconnect from my neighbor's wireless network which would take me offline. This would be fine if I was playing music stored on my ipod touch, but I mostly play music through Spotify which requires an internet connection. So instead I would like to figure out how to join the AE to my neigbor's non-apple network using his network pretection info he gave me. Is this straightforward or do I have to change the settings to a different mode, like ProxySTA? Will it even work at all with a non-apple network?
    This is a ski house I am renting for the winter and I am currently not up there, so I am trying to figure this out before the season starts.
    Thanks so much for any help.
    Sam

    I would like to figure out how to join the AE to my neigbor's non-apple network using his network pretection info he gave me.
    To join the wireless network, you would choose the option during setup of the AirPort Express (AX) to "Join a wireless network" and follow the guided step by step configuration process.
    You will need to know the exact type of wireless security that is being used on the wireless network and the password for the network. You probably already know the password, but you will need to tell the AX what type of security settings it should use during the setup.
    Unfortunately, there is just no way to set up the AX for the task that you want in advance because it needs to "see" the wireless signal before you can begin to configure the device.

  • Problem with the Non-English Characters

    Hello,
    I have been using Adobe Illustrator  but I have a huge problem with the non-english characters with Standart Fonts. With the Professional font's I have no problem with them. But when I'm using any standart font in font folio library I cannot type any "ğ-İ-ş". I can add those letters in fontlab with the glyphs (scedilla, idotaccent, gbreve). Most of the fonts have those letters already prepeared so I dont even have to redraw. But I can't add those glyph to every single font because I dont have that kind of time and patience. Is there any better solution for this? Or is there any font folio pack that all fonts are PRO.
    I'm looking forward for your answers
    Thanks.

    Joel wrote: I'm told that this is the exact difference between Adobe's Standard and Pro fonts — the Pro fonts have additional glyphs, including those necessary for extended Latin script.
    Exactly. The Pro fonts have at a minimum the Adobe Western 3 character set, which is essentially western European + Adobe CE.
    > Standard fonts just have the basic English character set, with maybe a bit of help for Spanish and French.
    A lot more than that!
    > You're doing Turkish, right? Adobe's coverage for Turkish in its fonts is not great - some of the Pro fonts have Turkish coverage, many do not.
    This is false. Every single Adobe Pro font supports Turkish.
    To be clear:
    All Adobe Standard fonts support the following languages: Afrikaans, Basque, Breton, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, Gaelic, German, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Sami, Spanish, Swahili and Swedish.
    Adobe Pro fonts support those languages, plus AT LEAST: Croatian, Czech, Estonian, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Romanian, Serbian (Latin), Slovak, Slovenian and Turkish. Some Pro fonts have more language support than this, such as Greek and/or Cyrillic, and additional extended Latin.

  • Problems with a non-BT product or service

    I have just contacted BT as my down IP Profile has become 30% less than it should be over an approximately 6 month period.  This is despite the fact that my line is surprising stable with an average up time of around 14 days and the main disconnection being  BT induced profile resets.
    I have had this issue three times before. The solution is 1 to 3 Openreach Engineer visits that find no fault and end up with a line reset to up the profile.
    This time the Indian call centre rang me, tested the line and found no fault  (as expected). They said because of this they could not do anything and suggested I contacted second line support.
    I then received  the following email 
    "Problems with a non-BT product or service
    Hi,
    You recently contacted us regarding a non-BT product or service. We confirmed that your BT Broadband service and equipment were working ok but we were unable to help you with your product/service as it's non-BT.
    We recommend that you check your user guide or contact your manufacturer regarding the product/service. Before you do that, check out these links below as they may help you further.
    Happy to pay for technical support from BT?
    BT has a team of technical experts. For a monthly fee they can help you with a range of problems. Go to www.bt.com/techexperts to find out more and sign up.
    I am using a BT supplied OpenReach modem and HomeHub 4 A so other than devices connected to the HH4 all kit is BT supplied.
    Can I have some (preferably Moderator) help on this please ?
    Solved!

    I am pleased to say that thanks to moderator intervention I was contacted by Kevin who arranged for an OR Engineer visit.
    As expected no fault was found and after a line reset to restore my profile to what it should be (actually slightly better) my 30% drop was corrected.
    It is fairly clear that if you have FTTC and a connection to the cabinet of 1200-1400metres then the DLM is happy to reduce your line speed but reluctant (if at all)  to increase it. This means your profile decreases over time and has to have a manual reset.
    The worrying development this time is that now when the helpdesk tests your line and finds line speed and profile match they assume you have  a problem with a non-BT product or service where as previously they accepted that a 30% drop in profile was a BT Fault. 

  • I'm having problems with a wireless Logitech mouse

    Since upgrading to ML i'm having problems with a wireless Logitech mouse that worked well prior to the update. I'm using the current Logitech Control Center software. No other mouse software is on my Mac Mini. If I use a Guest Aacount the problems ( wheel and back button ) are not present. Any suggestions?

    You might try the Logitech support site. There are communities on there:
    http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/keyboard-mice-combos
    Here is a link to drivers:
    Logitech Drivers
    You might check your home folder/Library to see if you can find a Logitec .plist.
    You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Hold down the option key while using the Finder "Go To Folder" command. Enter ~/Library. Delete the .plist(s) for the mouse.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

    I have a problem with my new Apple Air. It usually takes few seconds for the laptop to be untouched in order to be locked. So, sometimes when the screen starts to get dim in order to lock, I immediately touch the keypad to avoid locking the laptop, the result is a black screen appears with no responding to anything from pressing the keyboard to pressing the touchpad. It takes few minutes for the laptop to open again and then a message appears saying that there was a problem with the lock security.
    What is happening exactly?

    It sounds like your sleep timers are set to too low of a value.  Go to System Preferences -> Energy Saver and set both timers to longer times.  The computer sleep timer should be a longer time than the display sleep timer.
