Problems with older BT mighty mouse - no pref pane?

I recently was given an older BT mighty mouse (meaning the model without the trackball). It works great, except when I go into the mouse preferences, it won't let me set the buttons. With my wired mighty mouse, I get a menu that shows the mouse and lets you pick what each button will do.... my BT mighty mouse doesn't show this at all. I currently have no right click option, and can't get anywhere to set it.
Is this normal, or is there something I'm missing that needs to be installed/changed?

I have tried using the keyboard/mouse software that came with my wireless keyboard -no luck.
Have deleted the com.apple.bluetooth.plist file, rebooted, cleared the PRAM, and reinstalled with no luck.
Have deleted the device and set it up again - no luck
I have an option to set my tracking speed and my double-click speed and that's it. No options for the buttons, nothing...

    Hi, Guys!!
    And you have some right cosmic_hippo , Why?
    Well think that the real problem it's something between Firefox and Flash content...
    because if i use Safari and i try make what i describe in the first post, i don't have any problem with the mouse settings.
    Only Happens when i use Firefox...
    Cheers.

  • Mega Connection Problems with B/T Mighty Mouse :(

    My bluetooth mighty mouse is having major problems with connectivity. Some times the thing works flawlessly, but other times (like right now) it won't stay connected for more than 30 seconds...I AM ABOUT TO THROW THIS THING AGAINST THE WALL!!
    HELP!!

    I also had the same problem but it apparently stopped after I updated to OS X 10.4.10 and updated AirPort Extreme.
    The only thing is that my connection to the internet via AirPort keeps failing while using the mouse.

  • 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.

  • Issues with Bluetooth/Wireless Mighty Mouse since Snow Leopard Install

    Hi,
    I am having issues with my bluetooth wireless mighty mouse. It was fine after initially having installed Snow Leopard. However, in the past week it has become progressively more and more unresponsive. It functions perfectly normal for the first while after startup, then after a short period of time it becomes slow to respond to the mouse movements that move the cursor. Eventually it gets to the point that moving the mouse results in no cursor movement whatsoever. It also becomes unresponsive to squeezing the side buttons. There are no issues with clicking or scrolling with the track ball.
    I have searched the discussion forums to find issues that pertain to "bluetooth" and "wireless mighty mouse" and have tried the following suggested remedies... Repairing my Mouse with my Mac mini. Renaming my mouse. Deleting the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file from Macintosh HD\Library\Preferences and restarting my Mac. Reset PRAM and NVRAM. Also tried to install Bluetooth Firmware update 2.0.1 but I get an indication that the update is not needed on my Mac mini. I have also checked for software updates but there are none...
    I am going to attempt resetting the SMC but am doubtful that this will help...
    Can anyone help... Please... ?
    Thanks,
    Des

    I had read in another forum where someone had an understanding that the bluetooth problem had something to do with Airport/Time Capsule. I had also read about how someone was having an issue with being unable to turn off airport. (I had this same problem.)
    Upon deleting a few airport related plist files (see below url) I was able to turn off/on airport AND my Mouse issue has no longer appeared... everything is working a-ok now.

  • Serious problem with xorg - keyboard and mouse locks all the time.

    In the last week I've notices serious problems with xorg.

    Mouse cursor works, but I can't click on anything.
    I can't switch to text console.
    But I can kill xorg with CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE.
    Have you noticed something similiar?
    I use xfce4, [testing] repository.

    I had that a few days ago, couldn't reproduce it. I was also running xfce4. I havn't had it today and im running xfdesktop+xfce-mcs-manager+pekwm+xfce4-panel... so it may have been xfwm4.

  • Possible internal modem problem with older iBook (Mac OS X 10.3.8)

    I have an older iBook - from year 2000 or 2001. So its airport card is so old it's stopped reliably working & I don't know where I could find a replacement. In the meantime I want to get internet connection on it so I've tried plugging a phone cord from the wall outlet (that I always use succesfully for my desktop PC) into the laptop and typing in the phone #, account name and password of my desktop's internet account under "internal modem." BUT I keep getting a busy signal over & over when I dial up. I called my ISP & they thought it's a problem with my laptop's modem. I called Apple & they thought it's an issue with the ISP. Help?

    Hi,
    So its airport card is so old it's stopped reliably working & I don't know where I could find a replacement.
    If you have been using an internal wireless network, the router (base station) should (normally) allow you to connect via an Ethernet cable from the corresponding port in the iBook as well.
    BUT I keep getting a busy signal over & over when I dial up
    Without knowing any details, this seems to indicate that the modem does work. Wrong number/own number? Have you checked that everything has been entered correctly according to the instructions from the ISP?
    Could KB article # 106748 possibly be of any help here?

  • Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad & Mighty Mouse questions

    I apologize first for not knowing where the heck to search for this or post the question. (I searched the Apple site for info/downloads, as well as the Forums.)
    I just picked up a wired kybd (A1243) and wired Mighty Mouse (A1152) from eBay at a pretty good price, but they came without any documentation or s/w. They seem functional, to the extent I can test them.
    I'm planning to use these (for now) with my iBook (as a desktop), and later with an iMac.
    I know there's programmable features to the mouse, and keys on the kybd I don't recognize, at the very least.
    Could someone point me to the appropriate downloads? Thanks!!!

    This is the original wired aluminum keyboard (with numeric keypad) software download (update) link. Make sure your 'Universal Access' mouse & trackpad function is deselected or your numeric keypad keys will not work.
    Good luck.

  • Are most problems with older 5G or with newly release iPods?

    Hi,
    I was really interested in buying the 80GB iPod that was just released but was wondering if a lot of the problems that people are reporting are with the older iPods that have been updated v1.2 and iTunes 7 or if it's with the new ones? Should I wait a little while until iTunes 7 is fixed?
    Dual 1.8GHz Power Mac G5, Powerbook G4, 4G iPod, iPod Nano   Windows XP  

    I have a new 80g ipod. No problems with the software at all but then I'm working with a clean slate.

  • Problem with Mac OSX Magic Mouse in Library

    Dear Freinds,
    me and some colleques, we got a problem with Apples Magic Mouse and Lightrooms Library: If the mouse is on the big picture of LRs Library, and you are swiping or wiping on the mouse only a very little, a lot of pictures are scrolling very fast, much to fast to handle.
    This happens often without any purpose and that´s very annoying, because you have to search the picture again, that you worked with.
    I think this is a bug of Lightroom, but I didn´t found a solution anywere.
    Is there any?
    Thanks
    Marco

    This behavior was also in Lr4 and maybe Lr3.  The swiping with the magic mouse is oversensitive in a few other programs also.   It is pretty annoying but I have finally got used to being careful with the swipe in Library on the big photo.  I would think Adobe could adjust the speed for this but Apple should allow the user more options in the mouse settings panel.  Apple seems to be going in the negative direction of letting the user customize the interface as they keep taking more setting features out.  In their typical arrogance, it seems that they think Apple knows best and the users can just deal with it.

  • Initialisation problem with Logitech Mx900 Bluetooth Mouse

    Dear all,
    I have a recent problem with the initialisation of the Bluetooth connection at startup with my Logitech Mx900.
    The system fails to connect with the device. I have to go to the bluetooth pane (with the USB mouse) and to make a search in order to get the connection.
    This is very disturbing issue.
    I have seen quite the same topic with an intellimouse. Is there some general issue with 10.4.4 or Bluetooth firmware?
    iMac G4 - Mac OS X 10.4.4 (8G32) - Bluetooth module DLINK DBT-120 Firmware 1.443 (1.443)
    i mac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Well, I got it working, sort of.  The normal buttons and the scroll wheel work as the should.  The browse back and browse forward buttons do not work.  The tilt wheel works, with tilting right acting as the browse back button, and tilting left acting as browse forward.

  • Ssh forwarded glx problem with older servers

    Hi,
    I've recently started having problems with displaying OpenGL apps forwarded through an ssh session to an SGI Altix. It seems like it might be an upgrade problem that has also been observed on Ubuntu:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/384001
    Has anyone experienced similar difficulties or have a potential workaround?
    I'm running the opensource xorg-video-ati drivers and have tried with DRI as well as software rendering.
    Regards,
    Alex

    Bah. The discussion board nuked the ascii formatting.
    The short version of the problem is that in the ssh banner, a single backslash is displayed as two backslashes in the terminal.

  • Problems with older Nikon NEF files (2003)

    When you click on the crop tool in the Develop module on an image with NEF 2003 version, the preview goes blank to grey.  Also, when certain adjustment are performed, they don't show up in the preview.  If you scroll all the way down in the Develop menu, manually setting the type back to 2003 fixes the preview.
    On most of my images, I cannot convert the way these old NEFs are treated to the 2012 version.  It doesn't allow it.
    Anyone else had similar problems with old NEF files? 

    LR4 Beta works fine with my old (circa 2004) NEF files from my D70, using the 2012 process.  I can select the 2003 process and it still works fine.

  • Problems with older PCI-Videocards on K8N SLI Platinum ??

    Hi there,
    i just recieved my K8N SLI Platinum (without NEO) yesterday. Unfortunatly my new PCIe-Videocard isn't here yet,
    so i just built my rig with an old S3 Trio64 to install Windows etc. and to have at least my PC for some surfing and so on...
    The problem is:
    The Card is marked with an ! in the device-manager. It says the card couldn't get its required resources, and that i'd have to
    disable some other device of the system first to fully use the videocard. I checked for IRQ's, but the card has an exclusive one.
    I put it in the second (middle) PCI-Slot on the board. Due to that error, the drivers are not installed correctly and the performance
    of the display is ... well its even to slow for scrolling pages while surfing ... thats realy anoying, and my PCIe-card will not be here
    until the end of next week 
    I even manged to get another old PCI-dinosaur, but with no luck. The same Problem persists. So i think it's some problem with
    the board or some iossettings. The only thing regarding display in the bios was the PCIe / PCI switch which is correctly set to PCI.
    So if anyone knows how to get an old PCI-card running in that board, please help me
    [ApoC]

    Well,
    "f***ing up" the OS is not a problem, i got a GHOST of my perfectly fresh & clean OS.
    I have disabled:
    both SATA-Controllers (still running on good old ATA Samsung SpinPoint P80)
    the FireWire-Controller (which is shown in Windows anyways  )
    I changed the videocard from PCI 2 to PCI 1, with the only result that it shares IRQ with the OnBoard-Soundblaster in slot1.
    In slot2 it gets an exclusive IRQ. The problem is, i can't even see what resources are making trouble since Windows doesn't
    show any information in the cards resource-infos but that it ain't working (say what?)   
    *sigh*
    [ApoC]
    Edith says:
    I remember problems with the APIC-Mode on many nForce-2 Boards. Could this still be a problem? Any infos on that matter yet?
