Syncing Apple TV Mighty Mouse Dies

Hello
I'am not sure anyone has expeeriecned this issue, whilst syncing my Apple TV my Apple Wireless Mihghy Mouse becomes very slugish and slow the track and respond.
I am currently running OS X 10.4.10, on a G4 iMac all the latest updates, Mighty Mouse updates etc.... and cannot figure out why.
When I sync other deivces, iPod, Bluetooth phones etc... the Mighty Mouse is not effected it is only when I sync the Apple TV, whether it is 1MB sync or 1GB update the results are the same.
Anyone experiecne similar issues?

Deja vu!
I just got a new Intel iMac a couple of days ago and started using a Mighty Mouse for the first time (I had not used one before your previous thread on this problem).
I have not had any problems with the Mighty Mouse that came with my new iMac. I'm wondering if the problems you are experiencing are related to PPC iMacs or possibly just G4 iMacs.
As I suggested previously, you should contact Apple support. This is likely to be a problem that can only be fixed with a software update.

Apple Bluetooth Mighty Mouse

I have a Bluetooth Mouse on my MacBook. It generally runs just fine. Recently is stopped scrolling UP....down is fine. I replaced batteries, re-synced to Bluetooth...repeated several times....will not scroll up.
Other forums discuss cleaning track ball and scroll ball....and have mixed up topics between wired and wireless and make sorting which solution is best for the BT mouse ONLY......
Anyone....?? PLease ......

Try asking in the MacBook Pro forum. This forum is for older Apple hardware (generally pre-G3) and so not the place you'll be most likely to get help. Note that if you search the forums for "Mighty Mouse clean" you'll probably find several threads on the subject already.
Good luck.

Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse internal speaker not working !!!

Recently I bought an used Wireless Mighty Mouse (first version with grey side buttons), the mouse is working perfectly minus the single little detail that I can not hear any clicking sound from the internal tiny speaker inside the mouse when I use the little scroll ball above the mouse or when I press the grey side buttons, is this normal or should I hear the clicking sound simulated by the internal speaker? is there a way to enable or disable the internal speaker by software? Maybe is disabled by default, I don't know. I really don't think the speaker could be damaged due to the rest of the mouse is working like a charm but maybe mine came without a speaker, could be? or maybe it got disconnected somehow. Any clues or ideas would be very helpful. Thanks !

I know what a microswitch is, please look at these links, here are the proof there is (or maybe there was) a tiny speaker in some mighty mouse and wireless mighty mouse:

and I can keep giving you tens of links to proof you that actually there is (or maybe there was) a tiny speaker inside the mighty mouse and the wireless mighty mouse, If yours came without one it doesn't necessarily mean all came without one, right? That is why I asked you what version you have in order to figure out which ones does have the speaker and which one doesn't.

Apple Wireless Mighty mouse

Hi,
I have a wireless mighty mouse, and over the past couple of weeks I have noticed that the scroll wheel is acting funny. It will scroll down and side to side, but not up. This will happen sometimes then the mouse will start working normally again. It's still within the years warranty, but I'm not sure if I could find the receipt but was wondering if they would have a way to locate my purchase because I paid by card? Is there an easy way to fix this or should I just return it to Apple for a refund?
Regards,
Michael

It takes a lot of caution, but I use a cleaning solvent (light fluid). I've tried cloth and dry t-shirts, but nothing had worked quite as well for me. The polycarbonate shell won't get marred by the solvent and I haven't had any problems with the rubber on the scroll bar.
Of course using flammable liquids means you're doing so knowing the risks and can take responsibility for your own safety. I've heard of people who tried killing head lice with gasoline and the fumes were ignited by a water heater.

Apple wireless Mighty Mouse not working in Windows XP Pro/Boot Camp

I was able to get Windows XP Pro to install successfully on my new iMac, but I can only get a wired Microsoft USB mouse to work with it. When I boot to WinXP with just my wireless Mighty Mouse, the wireless mouse is completely unresponsive. Has anyone else experienced this, and is there a solution? Thanks!

Why not post in the Boot camp forum:

Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse stopped working

Any ideas on how to make it work?
I have a regular wireless mouse which does work, but the mighty mouse doesn't. I've tried turning it off and on several times, replaced the batteries, cleaned the little ball, but nothing works.
Thank you,
Lee Anne

Hi Lee-Anne-
Does anything happen at all? Does the Mac see it in the Bluetooth setup?
It may be time to invoke your warranty or AppleCare.

Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mighty Mouse

I've seen several posts about the new Apple Wireless Keyboard losing connection. After searching through the forums trying to find what I have discovered, I've decided to start a new thread. Basically, I've found a way to reproduce the "random" disconnects of the keyboard.
Open up your favorite text editor, create a new blank document, and strike the 'Return' key with some force. Shortly after doing so, you will notice your green light come on, and a brief connection lost message on your Mac. Seconds later, your connection will reestablish. Perhaps I have some sort of faulty keyboard, and this just happens to have the same symptoms that other people are experiencing, however, I'd like to see if any others have the issue. Of course, it is most likely not just the 'Return' key. Really any keystroke with some force behind it will cause the keyboard to temporarily shut off and lose connection.
An annoyance that brought me to really find a solution for this issue is that after my keyboard reestablishes its connection, my Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse starts to have issues. The movement along the screen begins to get choppy, and clicks are not always registered correctly, much like if there were some major Bluetooth interference with the device. The momentary disconnect I can deal with, because it has little to no effect on my typing. But when it also messes with my mouse, causing me to have to turn it off and on again, it does cause some considerable downtime.
Does anyone else notice this phenomenon? Also, if this is already being discussed, please point me to the appropriate thread.

I have the exact problems with the original poster. The keyboard I think by now is a given, as I'm typing now with the USB connected keyboard I can see the Bluetooth icon intermittently flashing in & out with that little lightening bolt & I have it off?? Why would it still register connections if I turned it off??
What I don't get is the Apple tech guys are normally really good at saying, "Ok here's the problem, we're on it or heres this fix" & I've notice no type of response, except the usual, "Run script, login on a dummy account or get Cocktail or Onyx" after reading several posts on this same subject all the "go too" answers have been tried.
C'mon Apple tech fix this problem already!!

Problem with Mighty Mouse in Right Click with Windows Vista Business

Hi APPLE,
I have a laptop, Sony Vaio, with Windows Vista Installed in it, i have purchased Apple Wireless Bluetooth Mighty Mouse. Sometimes I get no response when i right click...when i disconnect the mouse, then right click becomes active...but after using for long, right click becomes left click and left click acts normally. Could anyone tell me why this is happening, Can anyone tell me any fix/update/patch Apple has provided for Windows Vista.

Solution to Dirty Trackball on Mighty Mouse -- NO DISASSEMBLY REQUIRED!

I too have been plagued by the dirty trackball on the Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse. Although I love the mouse, cleaning the trackball as per Apple's instructions had done nothing. I have found a simple way to remove the lint/dirt etc... from inside the trackball WITHOUT disassembly of the mouse!
First, clean the mouse and trackball as according to Apple's instructions.
Next, take a piece of bright white paper, turn the mouse upside down on it, firmly press down on the ball, and vigorously run the mouse quickly up and down, left and right, AND in circles over the paper. After a while (it took me about 1-2 minutes), the lint and dirt that's been building up will break free of the sensors and when you take the mouse off the paper, you'll see everything that you cleaned on the paper -- and the scroll ball will work just like new.
I finished by cleaning it again with a damp, lent-free cloth.
Let me know how this works for you!

I've been lucky so far and only had to blast it with compressed co2. It's worked for me twice.

Problem with Mighty Mouse at Windows XP

Hi,
I have a problem with Apple Wired Mighty Mouse drivers on Windows XP..
I using a Dell notebook with WinXp and I need to have a full working driver for Mighty Mouse.
For example - 360 degree scroll, etc.. I tried a Trinity Driver, but my computer have some restrictions from my work. My question - is here any other driver, that supports some of that features, which Mighty Mouse have, or which driver package is it on Mac OSX install DVD for the BootCamp ? Cause i see here many packages (AppleBluetoothEnablerInstaller, AppleBluetoothInstaller, AppleDisplayInstaller, etc..) but none of them looks to have a driver for Mighty Mouse inside.
Thanks very much for a response..

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
at the moment only the very basic functions of the Magic Mouse work with Windows.

Maybe future driver updates include more functions.

Bluetooth not working = wireless mighty mouse not working too

I've received an apple wireless mighty mouse from my gf and it's not responding to anything. and my bluetooth icon in the top right of the screen says it's not enable everytime since. So it's surely in my imac the problem. Is there a way i can fix it buy myself or i have to send it to an apple store?
N.B. i have the same problem as the rest of the peps who have the latest update of Leopard

"can you tell my why it says that while 2 weeks ago my WIRELESS mighty mouse
was working and that i was able to go into bluetooth icon and it was active???"

If the above Article is of no help and DaddyPaycheck does not have any more solutions then I suggest that you cross-post over in the Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse Forums where the Bluethooth users hang out.

Does Mighty Mouse only work with desktop Macs??

I just bought an Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse, assuming it'd work with my new Leopard OS X Macbook. I followed the instructions on the Mighty Mouse booklet...but no installation start-up window ever appeared. I'm a beginner with Apple, so I figure I've done something wrong....does the Mighty Mouse only work with desktop Macs and not MacBooks?
Please help if you can.

Ah! sorry, my mistake! "wireless" was the key word. And yes, prior to my new mighty mouse, I also used the wireless one. And you need to do the following:
1) Turn bluetooth ON (either from finder icon (you can have it placed on your finder bar by tick box in sytem preferences/bluetooth.
2) Then, you need to "pair" your mouse via bluetooth setup assistant.
3) once "paired" off you go.

My Mighty Mouse is driving me mighty nuts!

Is Apple's Mighty Mouse sensitive to heat? I am getting the impression it is. After using it for a few minutes while working on an image and holding it under my hand, the cursor movement gets erratic, uncontrollable. Makes it hard to paint masks or even select something from the menu.
After letting it go for a few minutes it will work normal again, until I had it under my hand for a little while. It seems that the laser is affected by the heat radiated by my hand. Apple praises it as being more sensitive than any other optical mouse. Is that what they mean?
I use an identical mouse for my MacBook, without any problems. But I don't hold that mouse in my hand for long periods, since its only for control documents, e-mail, web and such.
Do I need a refrigerated mouse pad?

I can't comment too much on the heat issue, although if it really is responding to heat then you have a broke mouse. Maybe a broken solder joint since all the new lead free solder processes produce a much less reliable and failure prone bond than the good old fashion true lead solder (IMHO RoHS was a liberal stupidly inspired waste of time and money, because there is still nasty stuff caste into the environment when a RoHS board is improperly discarded: how about do correct recycling of ALL our garbage, and then RoHS would be completely unnecessary and we would end up with a REAL clean environment instead of just pretending we did something! OK, off my soap box .
But you might also be masking the true problem. The Mighty Mice are capacitive sensing devices. This makes then very sensitive to... your fingers for example. But it also makes they sensitive to noise. In particular, I found (and proved) that a particularly inexpensive and popular (Best Buy) phone charger produced a huge amount of low frequency noise. Many/most/all of these chargers are cheap switching power supplies, and they are often poorly designed and filtered, resulting in copious low frequency noise emissions. This noise radiated through the air and power cords and got picked up by my Mighty Mouse and drove it nuts! Made it completely unusable. Until, I discovered the culprit. Unplugged the phone charger, the Mighty Mouse was fine. Plugged it in (typically near the iMac or in its same power strip) and poof! Problem back! I ended up just making sure my charger was always plugged in on the other side of the room, distancing it from the Mouse. Apple was informed of this and they may have since added more filtering to the Mighty Mouse But it might be hard for them to filter out the switching power supply noise and also still pick up the desired signals associated with your fingers. It might just be one of those compromises necessary to have a cool technology.
So, before you send your Mouse back for replacement, make sure there are none of these nasty little switching power supplies near your Mac (they are used with almost all peripherals). Might want to get a good filtered power strip too. I now use a Tripplite Model TLP810NET which filters and robustly protects everything (AC, LAN, Coax, Phone, got mine from Digikey). This won't prevent interference from over the air noise, but it will knock out most of the over the power line noise.
Hope this helps

Does apple care warranty cover mighty mouse?

hi.
as many has experienced, i experienced problems with scrolling up and/or down w the mighty mouse. i tried to clean it with a few methods, and the one that worked was when i used a clean piece of paper, turned the mouse upside down, and rubbed it forwards and backwards several times.
unfortunately, it now seems that i might have solved the scrolling problem (but its slowly not scrolling as well already!). but i cant activate the 3rd button anymore. i press down on the ball and instead of activating the 3rd button, it right clicks or left clicks instead.
i also notice the ball is not as smooth as before. there is some fraying on the surface of the ball.
my intel imac has apple protection care plan till june 2009. can the mighty mouse be replaced?

Actually in 2 months my Mighty Mouse will be 3 years old.

I have an air compressor with an air drier on it, you can buy canned air at any electronics store.

No, like Kenichi say's nail polish removers are way to strong and drinking alcohol is way to sticky.
