Problem with Razer mouse

This is actually a problem I had with 10.5 that persists in 10.5. I once had a Razer Copperhead working on my 1st gen MBP 17" using Steermouse. At some point I needed to do an OS reinstall, and in retrospect I think my mistake must have been plugging in the mouse before installing Steermouse, but anyway OSX decided I had an unrecognized type of keyboard and I never did get the thing to work and gave up. Now after the upgrade to 10.6 I still have the mouse not working but I now have the need to use it.
Is there a way to get OSX to forget that the mouse is a keyboard and start from scratch? It is actually shown in System Profiler as a "Razer Copperhead Laser Mouse" but without working.

Im having the same problem. My razer copperhead once worked but now it does not. The mouse shows up in the system profiler without working. Hope someone eventually answers this.

I would suggest you get some details before you rush to make a diagnosis. You have absolutely no information to base this on. I see you're hitting up on numerous threads all over the place. Quality, meaning several good posts with reliable advice, is much more worthwhile than quantity.

New Problem with my mouse

I use an eMac running Tiger. After upgrading to the newest version of Tiger, I have an intermittent problem with my mouse. It will suddenly only 'control (right) click'. This happens whether I use an apple single button mouse or a Logitech two button mouse. The only way to regain my 'left click' capability is to restart the computer.
Is there a driver that I need to install with this new update? I've never had this problem before.
Thanks!

In other words:
Since upgrading my G4 eMac to the latest iteration of Tigger, I have been having a problem with mice. Don't matter if it is the Apple one-button mouse or a Logitech two-button mouse.
What happens is that I lose my 'left click' capability. That is to say, my mouse will only 'control click'. When having this intermittent problem, if I have the Logitech mouse installed, the left button acts as a 'right click' button. If I have the singlt-button mouse installed, it will only 'control (right) click'. Thus, it becomes hard to properly use the 'puter.
I have to cuss a bit and then restart the 'puter for things to be temporarily put back on track. So far, nobody knows the answer to the problem. Any Mac geniuses out there?
Thanks!

Problems with pro mouse

Finally got a Pro Mouse for my G4 (still non-mac keyboard though). But it seems that there is a problem with the mouse now. I got it second hand from a friend and saw it working on his computer, but I plug it in to mine and I get no response! I've tried plugging it into different ports and restarting the computer with no luck...any suggestions?

Thanks Barry,
I just tried to do what you said in your answer and after restarting the computer everything worked fine for a short period of time, after that everything was as before.
I took the magic mouse to an apple store a couple of days ago, they tried it in several computers and everything was fine. I also checked my macbook's bluetooth with other devices and I didn't find any problems.
I still have until monday to fix the issue before the 14 day trial period expires, so you are welcome if you have any more suggestions.
Thanks again to everybody trying to help

Problems with wireless mouse/keyboard after upgrade to snow leopard

Hi!
I am wondering if someone has some insight for me. I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard from Tiger. I have been using a Logitech S 530 wireless keyboard/mouse combo for a few years. I am now having problems with them irratically.
1. When on line and the page is large, I often cannot move the blue bar at the bottom of the screen to scroll to the right. What happens is like a stutter; as I am dragging the bar, it and the page shake rapidly side-to-side. Sometimes, I can drag it to the right, but as soon as I let go, it snaps back to the left. This does not happen in Word.
2. When in boxes with dropdown options, only occasionally does that happen. The dropdown either doesn't show, or it flashes quickly. Sometimes it will work after clicking many times. This happens with dropdown menus as well as search boxes that have dropdown choices for previous searches or suggested searches a la Google.
3. When I use my function key or mouse to display all windows, I can't choose the one I want. Regardless of which one I put my cursor over, only the left-most one is highlighted and comes to the front when I click.
4. There is a varying lag. Sometimes the system is responsive, and other times there is a lag of varying lengths before the system responds to the mouse action (click, drag, zoom, etc.)
5. For a while, my left mouse button wouldn't work. I reconfigured it, that seems to have done the trick.
6. Today, I can't open any of the menu items on Firefox. I can move the cursor there, but when I click on any of them, nothing happens. This is okay in Safari.
I have disconnected and reconnected the usb, restarted the computer, and tried to reinstall the software for the mouse and keybord. When I did that, I got a message saying it couldn't install on the current OS, so I went to Logitech and dowloaded and installed the latest version (which indicated it is for OS X 10.6.8.)
I don't know if this is a Snow Leopard problem, but it started sometime after I upgraded. Thanks in advance for any help!

Update all your third party software or uninstall and reinstall 10.6 versions.
If your going to 10.7, be warned a lot of software will not work at all and your 10.5 era machine will be slow, perhaps even have problems as 10.7 is problematic on older hardware.

IMO save for a new 10.8 machine after this summer.
See #1-15 here, tune yourself up good.

Problem with using mouse scrollwheel within CS5?

Hey all. Just upgraded my PS from CS3 to CS5, and I seem to be running into issues with the scrollwheel on my mouse.
When trying to use it from inside CS5 (say, inside a long 'Open...' window), it seems to lock up the entirety of Photoshop for a moment or two every few seconds. Checking the net out there, it looks like there appeared to be a problem with mouse wheels, but that was supposedly fixed nearly a year ago.
I checked for any updates or patches, but the most recent update I can see on the Adobe site is to 12.0.4, which has me doubly confused, as my copy of CS5 say that it is version 12.1, which, theoretically, is a more recent copy...?
I can provide system info, etc. if needed, but since I have not found anything along these lines since a year ago, I'm guessing there's probably some simple thing I'm missing somewhere.
Thanks in advance,
Steve M

You mean Photoshop plugins? No, the version of CS5 I'm having issues with is fresh as a daisy, just digitally downloaded and run for the first time earlier today. I think my old copy of CS3 has some, however, although since they are not being loaded into CS5 (presumably) I'm guessing those wouldn't be the culprit. If this helps any:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 3.2 GHz
L2 Cache (per processor): 12 MB
Memory: 4 GB
System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L30)
I'm using a Logitech Performance Mouse MX.
Thanks,

Problems with Bluetooth mouse following Lion upgrade

I upgraded my MacBook Pro from Snow Leopard to Lion, this morning, and now my Kensington Bluetooth mouse, which I have been using for nearly 2 years, has stopped working. The upgraded MacBook now only registers a connection with the mouse if it is held within about 10cm of the system, but even then it doesn't respond to any movements of the mouse. I have previously been using the mouse quite happily from a distance of about 50cm.
Is this a known problem associated with Lion?

Well, after 2 days of completely refusing to work, the mouse suddenly requested Bluetooth pairing, and has worked ever since. I don't know why it took 2 days, though.

Problem with USB mouse on Satelite a215-s7416

Hi all. I have been having this problem since I got this computer in December. I hope someone will be able to help me.
I have been using a usb corded optical mouse. It works for about 4-5 weeks then it loses power. For the first few days I can unplug it and plug it back in and it will work again. If I change ports it works as well. Eventually it stops entirely, in all ports. I plug it into my desktop and it works just fine. The first few times it happened I exchanged the mouse thinking it was faulty. As soon as I plugged in the new mouse it worked fine. After a few months of this I switched to a different brand of mouse. I am still experiencing the same problems. I have found some support info about deleting USB hubs and reinstalling, which worked for a few days. I have also updated BIOS, I have not done any other updates though.
Anyone know what may be the cause of this? I plan on going out to exchange it yet again tomorrow and I am confident when I plug it in it will work just fine.

Ive seen a similar problem on a Desktop PC, it was caused by bad USB drivers.
Did you install Logitech or Microsoft mouse drivers, or any other USB related drivers?
Try removing those, they may be conflicting with the mouse.
If that doesn't work, you could try reinstalling Windows by running Recovery (backup your data first off course :p)

Dock problems with mighty mouse

I keep the hiding on for the Dock and have never had any issue with it. Since installing and using the wireless mighty mouse, I can only get the dock to pop out about 50% of the time. It's getting quite tiring to keep having to reach for the trackpad half the time I want to access the dock. Any ideas? (I've already checked for software updates) Anyone else have this odd problem?
I was also having a problem with right clicking until I read in another thread that I had to lift my left finger off the mouse. Awkward, but working fine. Thanks to whomever posted that advice.
1.5 GHz PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi CharPatton;
Generally failure to scroll down with the ball on a Mighty Mouse is an indication of a dirty ball. To clean the ball you can turn the mouse upside down and roll the ball on a chamois cloth in large circles. If the ball is really dirty and the circles on chamois cloth are now able to clean, take a tissue with a little bit of alcohol on and do the circling motion on the tissue then repeat once more on the chamois cloth. Hopefully that should do it for you.

Problems with mighty mouse clicking

Hi everybody, happy New Year first of all!
Then my problem: I bought an Intel iMac about 1 year ago, and have been using the supplied wired mighty mouse since then. I set it up with left+right top buttons.
I didn't have a single problem until a few weeks ago.
First, the "typycal dirty scrolling ball" which seems to be solved by rubbing the ball on a piece of papere with the mouse up side down.
Second, and most annoying, *the click functions seems to perform worse than before*. I mean, it looks like *I need more pressure now to have the mouse click* (either left or right) on links, icons, etc.
Result: about half of the times, clicking the mouse (using the pressure I was used to) has no effort, I need to re-click with more intensity.
Did anybody of you experience the same problem? I cannot understand if it is kind of software problem (say, something that can be solved by some restore function) or a physical one (dirt? But the mighty mouse cannot be unassembled...).
TIA to all,
Giopad65

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Fist, here are the instructions to clean a Might Mouse: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1537
and here: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060210115417864&lsrc=osxh
Second, go to System Preferences/Keyboard&Mouse/Mouse and make sure your Tracking/Scrolling and Double Clicking is set to your liking. (The System Preferences panel is located in your Applications folder)

Big Problem with Mighty Mouse

I'm having a rather big problem with my wired Mighty Mouse. Basically, the middle button is the only top button that works, and clicking with the left or right side does nothing but activate the middle button instead.
Here's the nitty gritty...
The reason I can assume this happening is because I cleaned the scroll wheel to un-stick it. I did this by getting a sheet of white paper, turning the mouse upside down, and rubbing the wheel all over the paper, which left paths of dirt and fluff everywhere. Worked great, and the scroll wheel now works perfectly again.
The mouse worked fine after that which is what makes this problem odd, but later that night, all the top buttons just started acting as one middle button... So, (using my tablet) I changed the setting for the middle mouse button in the preferences to 'Primary Button'.
Now basically what I have is a one button mouse (with side squeezy things).
How do I make the left and right buttons work again? The preferences are set up fine... as in the right side is assigned to 'Secondary Button', etc, but it still only works as middle mouse.
Any ideas or help would be really appreciated!
Cheers
Cuby

If you are going to replace it, consider getting a plain old optical mouse that uses Apple's built-in generic USB mouse driver. I like the ones from Microsoft that have two buttons, a clickable scroll wheels, and that's it. This is the one that I use now.
[Microsoft Optical Mouse (Blue)|http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-K81-00004-Optical-Mouse-Blue/dp/B000068M P2/ref=sr11?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1244701238&sr=8-1]
It is reliable, comfortable, and sturdy. I've never cleaned it. And it's so cheap. I had a different basic Microsoft mouse before, and the only reason I got a new one was because I wore out the pads on the bottom that let it slide around.
Tip: Apple's generic USB mouse driver does not seem to have way to set the center button click. But if you set it to something when the Mighty Mouse is connected, that setting seems to continue to work with the generic mouse. Mine is set to do Exposé.
Not sure why you cannot do +reset PRAM+. If your internal speaker volume setting is muted so that you do not hear the startup sound, you need to turn up the volume a bit. The startup sound is your indicator (when you hear it for the second time) that you can let go of then four keys.

Safari update - problem with magic mouse

Hi all, I recently installed safari update to 5.1 (6534.50) on a mabbook pro OS X 10.6.8. Ever since update, I've been experiencing the problem with safari reloading pages and kicking me out of websites that use flash player (back to log-in screen). I can deal with that by using another browser, however the update has really messed up my magic mouse. At first, every time I put my macbook to sleep or shut it off, the mouse would stop responding when I woke the mac up. I would have to disconnect the mouse and reconnect. But this was really eating up my batteries, so this morning I shut the mouse off when I put the mac to sleep. Now it won't connect at all. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks Carolyn and Barry,
I did what Carolyn suggested - moving the .plist file into the trash. I have not resetting the PRAM or SMC yet.
When I go to system preferences>Bluetooth, I get a screen that says:
Bluetooth power is off. To use Bluetooth, first you must turn it on. (Note - my mouse is turned on)
Both ON and DISCOVERABLE are checked.
In the middle of the screen, it says No Devices (Set Up New Device...)
When I select set up new device, it finds my device and attempts to pair but is unsuccessful.
Resetting the SMC and PRAM scares me. After reading the links that Carolyn provided, I remembered another weird issue I had with my mac shortly before the update and mouse issue. For some reason, my clock suddenly became out of sync and I was on a 2000 date. I got an error message and reset the clock manually. Could this be the cause of my mouse issue? I feel like every step I've taken to get my mouse working again has made the problem just a little bigger!
Thanks again for helping me!
Judy
