Sleep Problem - Microsoft Wireless Mouse

Hi Folks!
I have a MBP Unibody, summer 2009, and I installed Snow Leopard last week.
My computer won't sleep unless I close the cover. I know what the problem is, it is apparently my Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse, which is plugged into my USB port. Removing the transmitter from the USB port solves the problem.
Anyone know how this problem can be fixed? I like my wireless mouse!

I have a very similar problem. I have a 15" MBP March 2009. SL 10.6.1. I have a logitech Optical Mini Mouse, when I close the lid it trys to sleep, once the snoring or breathing led starts dimming, it wakes up and then trys to sleep again in a loop, an endless loop.
I installed the logitech driver 3.1 for OS X 10.6, and that did not help, it behaves the same with and without the driver.
removing the usb dongal solves the problem, and it sleeps just fine.
Also drop down lists in firefox flash quickly and are nearly unusable, but work perfectly once the dongal is removed.

Microsoft wireless Mouse vs Razor Naga

Hi all and sorry for presenting you with what is probably a very simply remedied problem i am experiencing.Today i purchased a Razor Naga Gaming Mouse - for that reason - gaming. I got home and could not wait to test it out however after i had tried
it out i then wished to return my trusted Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000. After unplugging and putting away my new Naga I was quite alarmed to discover my trusty old MS Mouse had stopped responding.
Any idea's fella's??? (please) :)

Haha, well, that's something I never would have guesed to be honest =)
Just let us know if you need help with something else and we will help you ass good as we can, just make sure you check the batteries in your device first ;)
Take care!

IPhone trying to mate with Microsoft wireless mouse.

I know this is hard to believe, but when my iPhone is within 2 feet of my Dell PC, I can move the cursor on the computer. But once the iPhone realizes that it has a captive audience it starts moving through menus, clicking, moving to new items. I thought I was under attack or that the microsoft wireless mouse was going ballistic.
This doesn't happen on any of my apple products. The fix is just to keep these two animals separated.

If you drag to another folder it moves. If you drag to another disk, it copies.
This can be modified by certain control keys:
Command key while dragging
Move dragged item to other volume/location (pointer icon changes while key is held--see this article)
Option key while dragging
Copy dragged item (pointer icon changes while key is held--see this article)
Option-Command key combination while dragging
Make alias of dragged item (pointer icon changes while key is held--see this article)

Microsoft Wireless Mouse Wheel working upside down

I just installed OX 10.7 Lion yesterday. I have an Intel based Macbook and I use a Microsoft Wireless (non-bluetooth) Laser Mouse with it and ever since I installed Lion the Wheel Button funtion scroll up/down and left/right is backwards (down/up and right/left) from the way it is supposed to. I tried every setting and switched to another Microsoft Wreless Mouse and it is doing the same thing. I have updated to the latest version of Microsoft Mouse software but to no avail. It is very frustrating when I'm scrolling (which I do a lot). Has anyone else run into this problem. I've tried everything I can think of to correct this but I have been unsecussful up to this point.

Scroll Direction Is In Track Pad and What I Wrote Its Same. I Just Think Its Easy Way To Explain With Mouse Pref.
Thank You Also

Microsoft wireless mouse?

Hello, I'm trying to set up a new mac mini. Can I use a Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse with it? It appears to recognize the keyboard and mouse, but once i get to the country-selection page, I cannot pick an entry from the table though I can navigate around. I'd really like to avoid spending another ~$100 on an apple keyboard on mouse. Please help?

They should work, but I consider wireless KB & Mouse unreliable, even if Apple's, I'd try a cheap 3$ USB Mouse & $10 USB KB to get you setup & for emergency use.

Microsoft wireless mouse with ipad2

How i can use microsoft wireless leypad and mouse with ipad2?
Bala

You can't use a mouse with an iPad - it does not have a mouse pointer for a mouse to control as it is a touchscreen device which you use with your finger.
Some Bluetooth keyboards are compatible with the iPad. You would need to contact Microsoft and ask them if the one you have is.

Problems with wireless mouse in win xp sp2

I recently installed Windows XP2 in a Bootcamp 3.0 partition on my iMac 27". After installing the Apple drivers from the Mac OSX disk everything seems to work fine except for the Magic Mouse which does not respond at all. A wired USB mouse works fine, and, strangely eonough, when I access the Bootcamp partition through VMWare Fusion 3.0, the Magic Mouse works fine.
I tried uninstalling and re-installing the Apple drivers but that didn't work. When I look in Device Manager in Windows, under Bluetooth Radios, there is a Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator at Location:Apple Wireless Mouse and an Apple Wireless Mouse at Location:0. Could this be causing the conflict? I tried uninstalling the Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator but it gets automatically re-installed at the same location when I reboot Windows.
Any suggestions on what I can do?
Thanks in advance
Javed Shakoor

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your response. As you advised I set a System Restore point and installed Bootcamp 3.1. After I restarted the computer, the message "Found New Hardware: Apple Wireless Mouse" appeared briefly above the task bar, then it disappeared. The usual message which comes after this, telling you that the new hardware is ready for use, did not appear.
And whats more important, the wireless mouse still refuses to work!
When I go to Bluetooth Devices in the Windows Control Panel, the Apple Wireless Keyboard is shown as connected, but there is a "macbook 1's mouse" in the list which is not shown as connected.
As I said earlier I am still running on Win XP SP2. I am wondering maybe SP2 doesn't work with the new Apple wireless mouse. Do you think I should set another System Restore point and upgrade to SP3?
In the Windows Device Manager, under Bluetooth Radios, there are two devices:
1. AppleBroadcom Built-in Bluetooth at Location 0 (Bluetooth USB Host Controller}
2. Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator at Location on Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth
Both these devices are shown as working properly. However, does it seem to you there is a conflict there?
Thanks for your help so far, and apologies for the long list of questions.

Problems with wireless mouse, keyboard

Since last year, I've been trying to get the Apple wireless mouse and keyboard to work efficiently, without success. Even when both work, they eat batteries voraciously. Moreover, the connection to my G5 is constantly being lost, and is very difficult to reestablish.

Dear Robert,
This could be an issue with your bluetooth board. Probably the board is not functioning well or the signals are really weak hence there is a quicker battery drain on both mouse and key board. You can check the settings of the wireless keyboard and mouse on the system preference and check. Also It will be a good idea to reset the PMU once and re-pair the device together.
Note: Dont mix used and unused batteries , also when testing try new batteries which meet the specification.
Hope this information is helpful.
Good Day!

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.

Wireless mouse prevents proper sleep!

Hi,
At work, I've been using a Microsoft wireless mouse (Mobile Mouse 4000) with my new ThinkPad T430s. The problem is that every time I try to put the laptop to sleep (e.g. by closing the lid, or via Fn+F4), the machine seems to go into what I can only describe as half-sleep: The monitor turns off, the keyboard is off too, but the fan keep running and I don't see the moon LED that's supposed to turn on when in sleep mode.
At that point, the only way to bring the machine back to life is to shut it down by pressing and holding the power button! Very annoying to say the least...
This problem doesn't happen when I'm home (where I don't have the actual mouse, though the USB dongle is still attached to the USB port). It also doesn't happen when I use a *wired* mouse. So I'm pretty sure it has to do with the wireless mouse.
I've already tried installing all recent windows, and driver updates (using Lenovo System Update 5). Also, I'm running windows 7 pro if anyone is curious.
Any ideas as to how to solve this issue?
Many thanks!
Shawn

Hi,
I ran into a similar problem a couple of years ago. Seems unlikely that you're having the same problem but this might be worth a try: with the dongle plugged in and the mouse active (at work, or bring it home), run windows update. See if it offers any HID-related updates.

Mircosoft wireless mouse problem in X220 with docking

Hi,
I have an issue about X220 with docking.
When I un-dock the laptop for meeting, the Microsoft wireless mouse is working fine. However, when I finish the meeting and re-dock on the docking station, both the wireless mouse and keyboard is not working. I tried to unplug and plug in the wireless receiver but cannot solve the issue.
Since I have lots of meeting and this problem is really annoying me. Does anyone know how to solve this problem.
Thanks.
Ivan

Hi, gogpop
For the issue with the wireless mouse, I would recommend uninstalling the UltraNav driver from Device Manager. The UltraNav driver, in my experience, can sometimes cause issues with the mouse. To uninstall the driver, open the Charms Bar from the right side of the screen and select Search. Type Device Manager into the search bar, then select Settings from underneath the search bar. Device Manager should now be visible on the left side of the screen. Select it. When in Device Manager, open the tree for Mice and other pointing devices. Right-click on ThinkPad UltraNav Pointing Device (if available) and select Properties. Select the Driver tab and then click on Uninstall... at the bottom. Follow the prompts to remove the driver and then restart the system. After the uninstallation of the UltraNav driver, Windows should install a generic driver, which may help your issue.
As added security and reliability, I would also recommend installing the base Synaptics driver from here. Synaptics is the same company that makes the UltraNav driver, but their base driver seems to have less issues, so it's definitely worth a shot.
As for the wireless issues, I would recommend navigating to Control Panel ► Programs and Features and uninstalling the Intel Management Engine Driver (if here.) This program is sometimes found on machines with Intel wireless cards and its removal can greatly help wireless issues.
Lastly, if you haven't already, I would also make sure that all drivers and BIOS are up to date, all of which can be found here.
Hope it helps,
Adam

Wireless mouse intermittently drops out/stops working

I have just bought a Mac Mini. I'm not a fan of Apple keyboards or mice, so I've bought a third party keyboard and I'm using a mouse that I already had (Microsoft Wireless Mouse 1000). Whilst it works fine with my Macbook Pro and PC, with the mini I get drop outs in the form of jerky movement and occassionally stopping long enough to see it just isn't moving. The mini works fine with a wired mouse.
My gut feeling from playing around with the different mice and computers is that it is actually the aluminium case shielding the signal from the mouse (as both are on the desktop and the mini sits at the back of the desk with the USB ports on the back and a great chunk of aluminium therefore in front of it.
I have a USB hub built in to the monitor, but that seems to have the same problem - the USB ports are behind the panel and associated electronics. Sadly, my keyboard (Ducky Zero DK2108) doesn't have a hub built in, so I can't connect the dongle to that either.
I'm just surprised I haven't seen (after a lot of googling) other complaints about the same. I may have to reluctantly buy a Bluetooth mouse as the BT antenna is of course outside of the Alu case. An alternative may be to use a small USB hub that can be positioned with line-of-sight to the mouse. It seems absurd I would have to do either of those things.
Can anyone else comment on their experiences?
Thanks!

Macbook Compatability with Microsoft 3000 mouse

Unable to get mouse to work with Macbook OSX 10.6. Is mouse compatible with Macbook

I can't say for sure about a 3000 mouse, but I recently bought a Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000 to use with my Mac mini running 10.6.4 and I found that the disc supplied did not have the most up to date software. The 'check for new software' (buried in the Microsoft mouse preferences, not the Apple 'Software Update...' ) claimed there were no new versions available.
However, when I went to http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/ and looked in Download Software I found a newer version. After downloading and installing it the mouse works well.
There are several types of 3000 mice listed, 'IntelliPoint 7.1 for Mac' is recommended for the ones I just checked on (also my 5000, which came with 7.0). Have a look there for your exact model, and see if the download is different than the supplied software.
Good luck,
