RF Mouse for G4

I have a quick question about mice that use RF 2.4 GHz micro USB receiver (http://www.targus.com/US/product_details.asp?sku=AMW43US). Will the receiver allow me to use other RF devices such as the Apple Remote?

The problem with those devices is that they are not Bluetooth and they operate at the same frequency as a 802.11b/g wireless network.
It would be much better to get a Bluetooth mouse.
Will the receiver allow me to use other RF devices such as the Apple Remote?
No. The Apple Remote is infrared not 2.4 GHz.

    Hi, Tom.
    FYI: You've not stated which of your listed Macs is having the problem. However, the following may help in any case:
    1. Did you install Front Row using the Front Row hack on a Mac that did not ship from the factory with Front Row installed? If so, See my "Uninstalling the Front Row hack" FAQ. This has been known to cause a variety of problems, including the menu bar (Clock, Spotlight) issues you noted.
    2. If you did not install the Front Row Hack, an incompatible or corrupted Startup or Login Item may be partly to blame for the problems with the menu bar. My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem.
    3. As a general check, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.

    Hi champrider,
    You can use an application such as Apple Remote Desktop to control your iMac remotely. See this article -

  • Can i use my iPhone as a mouse for my Macbook Pro?

    Hi guys, im very curious if youre able to use an iphone as a mouse for mac. When i mean a mouse i mean as a regular mouse and not that mouse app thing with the screen going on. I mean literally as a regular mouse which you can use like if it was a normal mouse.
    Very curious like i mentioned and i hope theres an solution for this as well.

    oh kind of disappointed, thought i could do literally EVERYTHING with an iphone.

  • Best Mouse for my MacBook Pro?

    I don't need a mouse for gaming purposes (let's face it Macs are limited in that department), but I do need one that will work well and won't freeze up. Two USB slots get filled pretty quickly, which is why a mouse with Bluetooth capability is preferable.
    Any recommendations? I've heard Logitech is not bad, Microsoft either. I'm open to your suggestions. Is there a list that may be compiled of this information already? Oh, and a PC/Mac compatible one would be great too. Thank you!
    P.S. Please don't recommend the mighty mouse; right clicking is a must and getting used to its sensors isn't something I'm willing to do for $70.

    I might just try that out since the Microsoft Bluetooth 5000 alternative doesn't appeal to me for aesthetic reasons, or I may wait to buy the Logitech Bluetooth Mouse M555b which is slightly more expensive. I like the design of the latter but I'm not entirely sure if its worth the price tag.

  • Mouse for my MacBook Pro.

    Hi I have a MacBook Pro and I want to buy a mouse for it. I've looked at the Apple Magic Mouse but it's a little expensive and also has quite a few bad reviews.
    I saw a HP mouse in PC World but they told me it wasn't compatible with a Mac. Has anyone any suggestions?

    Logitech FTW!!!   Got a stable of 4 different mice from them, including the yet unequaled Logitech Air that never ceases to amaze people.

  • A mouse for my macbook

    I'm looking to buy a mouse for my new macbook and am looking for sugestions. I don't want to break the bank but I'd also like something that is white/light in colour to match the computer. I've read some reviews about the mighty mouse that didn't speak to highly of it so I'd like to stay away from it but any other sugestions would be greatly appreciate.

    The Mighty Mouse actually isn't that bad. I have one and enjoy it. I would say this much, any USB mouse will work. Bluetooth mice will also work. Do not install the software included with the mouse unless it is known to be Intel Mac compatible and compatible with that operating system. One thing to note about wireless mice, they can often fail to work when the battery level gets low and give no warning that the battery level is low.
    Steer Mouse and USB Overdrive are two mice utilities made for Intel Macs to extend the capabilities of third party multibutton mice.

  • Best Mouse for Lightroom 4

    I need to buy a new mouse for my Mac to use with Lightroom 4
    It also needs to work with Office apps etc
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Another more expensive option to consider is a Wacom tablet, which adds pressure sensitivity not available using a mouse. Here's a good video on tablet use with Lightroom:

  • Good tracking speed, CHEAP, big, quality and reliable mouse for macbook pro

    Hi mac people,
    I need a mouse for this all purposes:
    1)Reduce using the build in trackpad(to protect my built in trackpad)
    2)Sometime I want casual gaming(Simcity,ps1 game, some other point and shoot game)
    3)I 'm 183cm tall, so my hand is quite big, and I use my macbook pro as my primary pc, so need a all day use mouse(but I use my mac only about 3 hour a day).
    4)as mentioned in title.
    Thanks everyone for sharing advice!!!!!

    As everyone's hands are different, I'd suggest going to any store with computer accessories and simply trying the feel of whatever brands of mice they sell.

  • Best mouse for a person with trembling hands

    My Grandfather recently acquired a new Mac (an iBook) on which I am typing this message.
    I didn't want to let him use the integrated track pad because I found it very unpractical, so I ordered an Apple (wired) mouse for him. Unfortunately his hand is often trembling, and he has very little space to move the mouse, so we need to lift the mouse to move it without affecting the pointer's position an be able to move the pointer from the top-left corner to the bottom-right corner of the screen.
    All this causes him great difficulty (pointing precisely and lifting the mouse) so I wondered if a mouse with a track ball would be more suitable.
    What do you think ?

    Are you thinking of the VERTICAL Mouse? I read about those, too, and thought one would be ergonomically great . . . So bought one.
    I lasted about 3 days and gave up. In theory, they're great. But I don't think they're good unless you have large hands. They sure don't seem to be made for women. I have small hands and where the mouse hits as it rests against my thumb/fleshy area of my hand isn't comfortable and in fact, after a while hurts. I think the mouse is just too big for me. You need a wide hand.
    And your arm has to rest on your desk at exactly the right angle or the thing is annoying to work with. I also don't know that it would be so hot for someone with trembling hands, because your hand is in such a specific position, your fingers in fact, could tremble.
    Also, because your arm rests on the desk and your hand around the mouse, every time you move or adjust your position, you have to pick up the mouse and reset yourself. And it's clunkier to hold than other mice and sliding it around is clunkier.
    I like the idea of the vertical mouse so much and I might use it from time to time as a change of pace, but I can't recommend it unless you know for a fact it will fit your hand comfortably. I bought mine online. Couldn't find anywhere to audition it live.

  • Whats a good mouse for mac other then a mighty mouse?

    cause i've been though afew mighty mouses and i'm kinda getting tired of them breaking no matter what I do I can't get it to scroll up or to scroll left.
    and i've tried cleaning it didn't work so just going to get another mouse for it.
    what is a good alternative mouse for mac.
    around 50-75$?
    thats the only problem i've had out of apple is the mice they sell aren't as good as everything else they sell.

    Hi, 
    Apple mice have always been awful; I only ever liked the +ADB Mouse II+.
    I'm very happy with my Microsoft Intellimouse Optical six years on. The five buttons work really well with Dashboard, Exposé (and Spaces) and worked just as well back in OS9. The cable is also a decent length. I've also got a wireless version (1000) in grey/white with just three buttons, although the transceiver is quite chunky.
    Here's a five button Bluetooth version (link) that I've got my eye on at the moment.
    cheers

  • KVM-like device for using 1 keyboard/mouse for 2 Macs

    I'm familar with KVMs but what I'd like to do is simply use the same Apple Keyboard/Mouse for both my thunderbolt iMac and my thunderbolt Mac Mini. Any recommendations for keeping this as minimalist and space saving as possible? (BootCamp/Windows7 will occasionally be used on the iMac.)

    Zathrak, look into a free application called Synergy. It lets you use a keyboard/mouse on multiple computers. It works like a client/server type of environment. Both computers must be on the same network for this to work.
    Check out the website and see if this serves your purpose. http://synergy-foss.org/

  • Where can I get a mouse for Mac OS 9? New ones say they're for Mac OS X.

    Any one know where I can get a new mouse for OS 9? the ones at the store all say you need 10.4...This computer does have a manually install USB port, anyone know what will work or where to get one?

    Hi, Jake -
    Often one button on a multi-button mouse will be recognized as a default mouse button and be usable before the mouse software has loaded.
    Regarding mouse software, my experience has been that Microsoft, Logitech, and Kensington mouses are usually okay from a hardware perspective, but that their software falls a bit short, especially with regard to scroll wheels.
    I use Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer mouses with my G4s running OS 9 (I've also tried both Kensington and Logitech mouses, but prefer the shape and feel of the MS ones).
    However, instead of installing the MS software that came with them, I use USB Overdrive - it makes all of the mouse features smoothly available including all five buttons and the scrollwheel, yet needs no extra extensions in order to do that - just a control panel (it does install a couple of extra extensions, but these can be disabled when using a mouse). One of the features of USBOD I especially like is that you can have different functions set for each of the buttons in different programs, and the mouse behavior changes automatically to the set for the active program, on the fly.

  • What's the best mouse for heavy video and audio editing?

    I do an enormous of audio and video editing.  I'm finally feeling the strange sensations of tightness in my right hand (being right-handed).  I realize now that the typical mouse design is bad for heavy precision work.  When I use my son's Mac flat mouse, I notice that my hand lies flat and somewhat rested while working.
    Can anyone recommend a great flat or other mouse for my PC?

    I guess it's all a matter of personal preference.
    When I got my Mac, the first thing I did was replace that God-awful Mighty Mouse with a nice, generic two-button roller mouse.
    They all work about the same. I guess it's mostly about your personal ergonomic comfort.

  • Best mouse for G5

    hi, I have a Logitech-MX518 corded mouse which I use with my g5. It works pretty well but much better when I plug it into a PC
    Is there a good mouse for mac? I find the apple ones a bit cumbersome
    thanks

    I got 3 of these, 1 for my G5 and 1 each for my eMacs.

    I didn't like the multi-colour flashing led, so replaced it for a constant blue one.
    Life is so much easier with right click. The scroll works as intended and the scroll push down button even works with the odd game of Halo
    You don't need to break the bank to have a good mouse.
