Right side USB port does not recognize mouse while in Vista

Ok, heres the deal. I use a corded USB mouse with my MacBook Pro. I am right handed, so I usually plug the mouse into the right side USB port. It works just fine while I am booted into OSX, but while in Vista, the mouse is not recognized at all when it is plugged into the right side. The mouse still works on the left side port just fine.
The weird thing is that I can still use that same right side USB port for my flash drive or iPod or anything else. Just not my mouse. Anybody else have this issue or have any input?
Thanks

Am I the only one with this problem? I am going to try to uninstall the mouse drivers in vista and then reinstall them and see if that does anything.

  • Right side USB port is not functional on my new Spectre13

    I just purchased a new Spectre13 notebook and the USB port on the right side isn't functionnal. I searched in different places in the system and I cannot find a way to get it working. Is this normal?

    And now the left side USB port doesn't recognise my 16GB USB key anymore. It does recognise a Logitech wireless mouse key but not my key.
    Since it works fine on My MacBook, I know the problem isn't the USB key.

  • Left and right side of screen does not register mouse clicks.

    The left and right side of my screen (when maximized) does not register a mouse click. I would estimate about 10 to 15 pixels in (top to bottom) before a button will register a click.
    If I work with in firefox not maximized everything works fine. As it stands I have had to add buttons to the left and right side of my Firefox navigation area to utilize the back and home button. I am also not able to use my scroll bar do to this situation with out connecting an external mouse.
    Operating system: Windows 7 Professional (64bit)
    Resolution 1280x800
    Computer: HP TouchSmart tm2 (1070us series)
    This laptop does have the touchpad type mouse, I do not think this is the problem though as it will work if firefox is not maximized.
    Assistance with this would be appreciated. I Love firefox but this is to much of an annoyance to deal with continually.

    Not sure if its ever overheated... I've never left it in a hot car if thats what you mean. Sometimes it gets very hot if I'm using EDGE for a while. I don't push hard which is why I don't think I caused it...
    I will bring it in this weekend and see what they say.
    I also think that the speakerphone sounds fuzzy and muffled a lot more than it did when I first bought it. So just another reason to bring it in.

  • MacBook Pro Retina USB 2.0 devices not working in right side USB port

    4 days ago I bought MacBook Pro Retina 15".
    When I plug USB 2.0 device to right side USB port, it does not work. OSX does not recognize it, iPhone does not charge, and so.
    When I plug the same USB 2.0 device to left side USB port, it works.
    When I plug USB 3.0 device to left or right side USB ports, it works without a problem.
    Does anyone have this same issue? How did you resolve it?

    I have a similar issue with a 13" Retina. Both my ports work OK for most USB devices but the right one won't work with a USB external HD (Time Machine backup). Very consistant.

  • My USB ports will not recognize any devices, iPhone or external drives. Keyboard and printer work, any suggestions?

    My USB ports will not recognize any devices, iPhone or external drives. Keyboard and printer work, any suggestions?

    I'd start by looking in system profiler.
    the blue Apple icon > About this Mac > More info...
    goto the hardware section. Scroll down and click on  USB
    See what happens when you have the device plugged in & not plugged in.
    Move keyboard & mouse around to verify that ports work. Plug device in a port that worked with keyboar or mouse.  Keyboard usb ports are rather low power.
    Perhaps device is taking too much power.  Are devices power or unpowered?  Try connecting devices to a usb hub.
    Which mac do you have?
    What iMac do you have?

  • USB ports does not work

    Hi I have problems with not working USB ports. It used to work. I downloaded actual drivers at msi.com for my gaming notebook GX 60 Destroyer and now my USB ports does not work. What should I do?

    What driver have you updated?
    Try to do an EC firmware reset by removing the battery and the AC adapter then put the battery back with AC adapter attached.
    Same questions like Pegasus asked, does all ports not working? which one exactly? What OS are you using?
    Have you done any changes to the system? (for example: self-install OS or changing OS)

  • When I connected my iPod Classic or iPhone 4S to the right side USB port of my 2012 11 inches Macbook Air (128 GB SSD), I get a message from iTunes that I connected my device to a USB 1.1 port. I checked the specs, it's a USB 3 port. What's wrong?

  • Modem problems on Right Side USB port

    I have mentioned this problem in a couple of other threads here, but I just got some news from Apple, so I thought it might be worthwhile to start a new thread. As you can see below, I have a MacBook Pro/15"/1.83, running 10.4.7, manufactured in week 13. When I went on a trip to the "Mainland" (I live in Hawaii) last month, I discovered that the USB port on the right side of the computer didn't work properly with my Apple USB modem. While I could get a dial-up connection, I couldn't maintain it, and it would hang up within a minute or two. Everything worked normally on the left side USB port. I brought the computer into the Honolulu Apple Store, and they confirmed the problem. They also booted the computer off an external drive, and it worked fine. I wiped the drive, and reloaded everything, and the right USB port still didn't work. I then sent the computer in for repair, twice now. The first time they also wiped the drive and sent it back to me. Second time, they kept it for 2 weeks, but were unable to find a problem. Sure enough, I still have the problem on the right side USB port. However, I also discovered I could do a backup of my user folders (~3 GB) onto an external USB drive from the right port with no problem.
    Anyway, I just finished speaking with the Apple Rep, who told me there are other MBPs with the same problem, and they are investigating it. They said I should keep an eye on the Apple Support site for possible software/hardware fixes.
    Hope they fix it soon. I do want to say that the people I spoke to have always been helpful.

    Hello...
    Even though I just got this USB Modem yesterday (as I have a trip to a place with no wireless or ethernet connection), and I haven't had the chance to test things out enough, I would like to report that I have the EXACT same problem, although I did connect several times from the RIGHT-side port (and even so, it was only for a few minutes, if I connected at all).
    The LEFT port has now worked for 24 minutes straight, so, I think that that is the issue. There is a clear difference between the RIGHT port and the LEFT port, and I seriously doubt that it is the service provider.
    I will continue to use the LEFT port until I find out more about what is going on. Very strange indeed.

  • USB Port does not work W510

    Hello all,
    I am writing to you hoping that one of you may have an idea what's wrong with my beloved w510.
    A few hours ago the usb port (on the back on the right side) where I plugged in my external mouse stopped working.
    In the Lenovo part list it is referred to as "usb Sub card yellow".
    It just does not recognize a mouse nor any usb stick or external drive. I have already reinstalled the usb controller
    but it didn't make any difference. (I think the driver is only for the usb 3 hub on the left side of the notebook)
    when I plug in the external drive the lights of the drive start "flashing" same for the usb stick, but they are not recognized as drives..Same for the mouse. The lights go on, but nothing else works.
    Probably its all my fault, but I don't know what else I can try! Please excuse my bad English...!
    Hoping that somebody might be able to help me...
    Paul

    I have a reproducible test for this issue on my W510.
    1) Plug in a usb mouse into the rear usb port and ensure the mouse is working.
    2) Hybernate the system.
    3) Resume the system.
    4) Confirmed the mouse does not work.
    5) Disconnect and attach the mouse to one of the left usb ports and confirm the mouse works.
    6) Disconnect and attach to the rear usb port and confirm the mouse does NOT work.
    7) Restart the system and confirm the mouse still does NOT work.
    8) Shut down the computer (a full shutdown, not standby or hybernate).
    9) Power the system back on.
    10) Confirm the mouse is now working in the rear port.
    I can do these steps over and over with the same results regardless of whether the AC adapter is plugged in or not.  It appears that the data connection does not work after the system is resumed from a sleeping state.  I have the latest UltraNav driver and utility and the latest power management updates.
    Oh, and one more test.  Hybernate the system with nothing plugged in, then plug in a mouse into the rear usb port when the system is presently hybernated and then power the system back on.  The mouse will not work and rebooting doesn't correct it.  Only a full shutdown fixes it.

  • One USB port does not work with external Disk or USB key

    Hello,
    Back to my iMAC there is 3 USB port. The second one - in the middle - does not work pluging an external Disk, an USB key or an iPOD nano. However it works well connecting a Wacom tablet.
    Is there an explanation to this behaviour ?
    More the keyboard is plugded on USB port 1 and the mouse on the keyboard. Time to time - especially at reboot - I have to unplugged the mouse and plugged again it in order it works.
    In advance thank you for your answers
    Regards

    Since it does not work for three different devices, I will assume it is not something simple like a faulty USB cable. Since it does work for one device, I will also assume that the port is (at least partially) working.
    As a test to narrow down the cause, I would try restarting from your Mac OS X installation disc (insert disc and restart with the C key held down).
    At the first Installer screen (after language selection), go up the menu bar. Under Utilities, select to run Disk Utility. Now, connect the USB drive into that center port. Does it appear in the Disk Utility sidebar?
    Please post back the result...

  • USB ports could not recognize DVD Burner and WD Portable disk

    Hello all,
    This is my first question to ask here about X1 Carbon. I hope you could help. I was trying to install a software using the Lenovo slim dvd burner, but the usb ports of the laptop didn't recognize it. Also, I tired to install the software using my portable HDD (Western Digital A08 Elements), but the usb ports of the laptop didn't recognize it as well. I plugged a usb thumb driver into the usb ports; it did recognize it!!! But I really need my dvd burner to be detected. I will appreciate if you could suggest an appropriate solution to my problem.
    Thank you

  • Qosmio G does not recognize mouse using two left USB ports

    I am right handed so I naturally put my Saitec optical mouse in the right hand port.
    The other day I plugged it into the two left hand ports and the machine did not recognise the mouse.
    It went through the process of installing drivers (even though this had been done some weeks ago when i plugged it into the right hand port)
    Anyway the mouse will not operate at all when plugged into the left side ports.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be happening?
    Regard Sean.

    Hi
    Did you test the both left USB ports with other USB devices. i.e USB flash stick???
    Maybe you should do this to figure out if it could be a faulty USP port.
    But I would recommend testing this;
    First of all disconnect all USB devices
    Then go into the device manager and remove all USB host controller and USB hubs from the device list.
    Close all windows and reboot the notebook.
    Finally the OS should recognize the new devices (USB ports) again.
    Connect a USB device to one of the left ports and check if it would work.
    Bye
