Programming Mighty mouse with back button for Safari

Is there a way to program the mighty mouse so that the squeeze buttons on the side make it go back in Safari. Does it require a script. Are there any ready made scripts for that? (The keyboard command would be command left bracket.
thanks

Try the shareware mouse software, SteerMouse - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Trouble with back button in Safari, always resets to top of page.

I am running Safari 6.0.5 on a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.8.5
The problem that I am having is that every time I use the back button to my previous page it always takes me to the top of my previous page. All of my other Macs running Safari always take me to the point in the page I left from. It is a real headache to always have to search for where I was on my last page. I have gone through every preference I can think of that would be relevant and updated several versions of Safari with no change. This issuse is only on my laptop
Anyone that has had this issue I would appreciate the help.

Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Using Mighty Mouse to back-click in Safari

Hi
Does anyone know if it is possible to assign a 'back click' to Mighty Mouse so that I can go back a page in Safari without having to click on the 'Show previous page' button in the toolbar?
Thanks.

i also used steer mouse and assigned "cmd-left arrow" as my back button to the left scroll and "cmd-right arrow" to the right scroll as my forward. works like a charm!

Mail button for Safari?

Any way to add a mail button for safari's address bar?

Neat scripts. Almost it. It alows you to send a email with the link to the current page but does not just open the mail program for checking it ect. This is what I really want. Love the full page and new window bookmarks!
Thanks,
Greg

Can't click back button in Safari on Iphone

I'm not sure at which update this began, but I recently realized I can't use the back button in Safari. It just stays dimmed, when normally once you navigate to a new page it illuminates and then you can use it to go back. This is very annoying. Any suggestions?

Johnster .....
I am getting the same icon that you are getting whether I use mobile Safari or iCab Mobile identified as Firefox or even if I identity it as mobile Safari. I wonder if that means perhaps the podcasts was not created correctly. However, I know absolutely nothing about creating a podcast.
You obviously have been doing this successfully up until this point, but by virtue of the fact that I am getting the "No Plugin" icon in both browsers - whether viewing as a desktop browser or a mobile browser, I simply assume that there is a problem with the podcast.
The podcast plays fine in my desktop Safari on my MacBook.
Just so that you know, the preinstalled apps are only updated when the iOS is updated. There are never updates released for Safari, iTunes, the App Store and so on, except for the features that may be added when the iOS is updated.

Mighty mouse with two computers

Is there a way to pair a Mighty Mouse with two computers and to them switch back and forth between them easily? I realize I could unpair from one and then pair with the other, but I’m trying to use a Mighty Mouse in lieu of a KVM switch with a wired mouse.

Yes and no. It all depends on the device, and I can't speak from experience when it comes to the Mighty Mouse, but I can speak from experience with other Bluetooth devices.
You can pair a device with multiple computers, but you cannot use it with multiple computers simultaneously. When switching, you'll have to tell your computer to disconnect from the mouse before the other computer can connect to it. Since we're talking about a mouse, reconnecting the mouse might be a little tricky, if you want to use only one. Perhaps adding something like an Optimus Mini Three (or similar HID) with an AppleScript attached to one of the buttons to trigger mouse reconnection could work.
There are software based solutions to your problem, enabling you to connect any HID (Human Input Device) to your computer, and then use a virtual KVM over the network. I've seen a few pieces of software like this in the Apple Downloads Database, but I don't know if they're free.

Mighty Mouse's side buttons too sensitive...

Hi there,
Every two seconds, the fonction of the side button gets activated because I press them by mistake... It's been two weeks and I still hit them by mistake.
How do I make the Mighty Mouse's side buttons less sensitive?
Thanks!
Chris.

for me it's actually static that makes the side buttons operate all on their own just if my hand is barely touching. i don't have this problem when i'm on tile flooring with my new iMac, but in my bedroom on carpet, the mouse and computer act weird becasue of dry climate and static. if i keep my hand on the metal base of the imac i have no problems. as soon as i remove my hand, problems. i'm now working on grounding my computer but that hasn't worked yet. i need to be de-static in some way i think.

I somehow deleted my "back" button in Safari. How do I get it back?

Two issues: 1st: I want to know how to take a snapshot of something on my desktop.
2nd: In trying to remember how to take a snapshot I was just pushing buttons, willy-nilly, and somehow deleted my "back" button in Safari. How do I get that back?

It's not on my keyboard (that I know of). It's an arrow on the bar at the top of my safari screen. I'm supposed to be able to click the arrow to either go back to the previous page or go forward to the next page. But I deleted it somehow. And now I don't know how to get it back. I found a solution in someone else's post: Safari, View, Customize Tool Bar. I tried to do that but it doesn't work for me. I dragged the back arrows to my tool bar but they won't stay up there. What do I do now?

How To Quesiton Re: Using Wirless Mighty Mouse with Windows PC

I would like to use my wireless Mighty Mouse with my work PC. I need some type of wireless dongle but have no idea what type or brand. Could anyone suggest one that has worked for them?
The PC I will be using at work is running Windows 7.
Thanks !
Chuck :- )

The Mighty Mouse utilizes Bluetooth for wireless connectivity, thus any standards compliant Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR dongle should work. Here is a link to one that should work great:

I FOUND THE SOLUTION....well, thanks to your link ELLEN!!!!

With Chrome open to iCloud calendar, hold down the Ctrl button and press the 0 (zero) button. This will fix your problem. Did mine!

Why isn't my back button in Safari not working? I am constantly resetting Safari.

Cheryl...
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Move the Cache.db (or ApplicationCache.db) file from the com.apple. Safari folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. Launch Safari. Try the back button.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.

Forward/ back button for various sub-folders

Hello all,
Here's the scenario.....
I have a forward and back button that load several images in a sub-folder that load to a UIloader....
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextImage);
function nextImage2(evtObj:MouseEvent):void{
imageNumber++;
LargeImageLoader.source = "portfolio/UIloader/bike/00"+imageNumber+".jpg";
checkNumber();
back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backImage);
function backImage2(evtObj:MouseEvent):void{
imageNumber--;
LargeImageLoader.source = "portfolio/UIloader/bike/00"+imageNumber+".jpg";
checkNumber();
Since I have multiple sub-folders for my portfolio, I was wondering how to apply these same buttons to other sub-folder image paths without needing to create a pair of forward/back buttons for each sub-folder.
Thanks!

It's not entirely clear to me, but what I think you need to do for what I think you are saying you want to do would be to make the folder targeting (portfolio/UIloader/bike/, et al) a variable as well. The only missing link is what you would use to redefine the folders.
Your next/prev buttons can't be that smart unless you have some conditional logic that helps them realize a particular imageNumber range belongs to a particular folder. If your images have the same file names (00#.jpg) across the different folders then that won't help. I believe you would need them to be sequential such that no folder repeats the filenames/numbers of another

No back button in safari

Help! I no longer have a back button in safari (no page forward button either). I only have the + (add bookmark) button to the left of my url bar. All windows in Safari open without the < & > buttons...
Any counsel would be appreciated.

Greetings,
Go to View > Customize Toolbar… and add those buttons back to the menu bar.

Making the side buttons of the mighty mouse go back in safari

Hi,
I found out that I can assign a custom key command to menu items in safari's browse-back-action. I've also seen that these settings are stored in ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist at the NSUserKeyEquivalents dictionary. Well, is there a hidden way to modify the entries to support Button 4 of my mighty mouse? I can't do that via the preferences panel, but maybe someone knows what to enter there.
Tekl

i think you're looking too deep. you can configure your mighty mouse buttons from within system preferences --> keyboard and mouse preferences. also, see the apple might mouse web site for more info.
hope this helps!
