TS1986 My mouse wont work...

My mouse wont work and it is a cordless type. I've replaced the batteries and the green light comes on underneath but the arrow wont move on the screen. Can anyone help?

Is this something new, or something that worked before and no longer works?
What is the make and model of the mouse? (maybe a link to its product desription page if available)
What is your Mac model, and what version of Mac OS X does it run?
If it's a non-Apple wireless mouse, you may need to install a driver to make it work.

Keyboard and mouse wont work unless booted in safe mode.

So my keyboard and mouse wont work at all when i start up normally, so i coudnt even log on, then i tried safe mode and i was able to use the mouse and keyboard and log in, then when i loged in i got some messages:
*+System extention cannot be used+*
+The system extention "/system/library/extentions/IOUSBFamily.Kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the products vendor for an update.+
And 2 others: MicrosoftMouse.kext and msdosfs.kext
Im pretty sure how i got this problem, i was using bootcamp and i got this program called MacDrive (bad Idea)and it corrupted my HD or something so i had to use disk warrior to fix it. I also used disk utility in safe mode but there were no errors it said.
and this is probably a hardware problem but i cant use DVD's anymore, my drive will only read CD's now, must be broken....
so ya, i dunno what to do exept get my drive fixed and to a backup and reinstall OS...

Hi
There are no many options which could solve this problem.
It can be a hardware problem or software related issue.
Can you use the internal keyboard within the BIOS?
Check this.
If this would not be possible, I assume the hardware is faulty.
Additionally I recommend testing the keyboard and touchpad using the factory settings.
Recover the notebook and check if the keyboard would functions. Otherwise you will need an helps from an notebook technician in order to replace the keyboard and touchpad

Trackpad or USB mouse wont work

I am struggling with my Macbook pro. Its an early 2010 model. Just in the past couple days the mouse wont work. It just decides it does not want to click at all. Sometimes i can get the right click to work. If i restart with keyboard commands it is fine for about 10 min then does it again. I thought it was the trackpad but it is performing fine. I can feel and hear it depress and clilck properly but no action on the screen when it clicks. If i plugin a USB mouse i get the same problem. I have reset PRAM, repaired permissions, done a hard drive verify and run the hardware test from install disk both easy and extended hardware test. And everything comes up as fine and the permissions repaired fine.
A couple months ago this computer was acting really weird and i decided to reformat with a fresh system since it had been over a year since i got it. It was a struggle to do even that. It would not install the system after a basic HD erase (which has never happened to me). I had to zero out the HD to get the system to install. It worked fine after i finally got it reinstalled and setup until now this mouse thing is happening
I am just wondering if this seems more like system corruption or a hardware issue like bad HD or bad board. I am about to reformat again but I hate to go through all that setup again if it is hardware. Anyone have any thoughts on what to try next. Thanks

The regression reported here http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=137523956310060&w=2 did not solve the problem as i installed the patch found here https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36296
Still the same message shown in the xorg log.
EDIT:
Also, after being connected the mouse connects as a keyboard, but the actuall mouse functionality dosnt work.

Finger pad/ Mouse wont work

I bought this ibookG4 from a friend and don't know to much about it.
For some reason the mouse does not work and I have to plug one in for it to work.
Anyone have any ideas on what I could do to get it working?

Did you get any discs with this computer?
Have you tried working in another user account to see if the problem persists?

Mighty Mouse wont work after last update

I have just updated the last mac update (Quicktime and Frontrow and iTunes).
After rebooting, it couldn't find my mighty mouse (wireless). So I switched the mouse off and on again and then it found it but the connection lost again from the mourse at that exact moment.
This has happened 3 times now, every time i reboot to see if I can catch the problem.
So I cant use teh mouse to get into the Operating System.
The bluetooth has completely wiped it out I think.
What can I do?
How can I uninstall last update or reinstall last update?
How can I access the mouse and Bluetooth functions?
Appreciate the help,
JH

I've had problems since the last update as well. Namely, seemingly not connected to any specific program, the finder toolbar options simply disappear. Or, the keyboard (bluetooth) and mouse (wacom USB) stop working. When I try to force quit programs, the FQ window pops up but lists no programs even though there are several open. I have to manually shutdown my computer by holding the power button. This happens at least once a day. Very frustrating. My machine operated flawlessly prior to this update.
I don't expect an answer from this forum (PRAM PRAM PRAM - that never, ever works, and it's the first thing any seasoned Mac user tries). But hopefully Apple reads this?? We need a new update to fix this obnoxious problem...

Drag and drop feature on the project panel doesnt work. Cant adjust scale or any numer properties by sliding mouse. (click drag wont work at all nowhere)

This issue just happened out of the blue. The last thing I did was create a new comp and import an Illustrator file. Working on CC2014. Its like the mouse's left click wont be working at all... but that's not the case. Cant even drag the comps in the composition, or move the layers around....
Now the issue affects everything I do in After Effects, even on a new comp with just a plain solid
Deleted cache,
reseted workspaces,
open/close after effects
restarted computer
newcomp with just a solid and nothing.
plugged unplugged wireless mouse
changed to wired mouse
the issue is still there
Curiously, after writing this post , publishing, and going back to after effects, the mouse will work, but for a couple of clicks or so then wont work again. This only happens on After Effects

You're Right
Its an Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD4 with an i7 k2600 clocked to 4.2ghz w 16gbRam at 1333mhz
Dual GPU , gtx 760 and gtx 780ti
Running Windows 7 ultimate.
The keyboard is a Genius G110 plus a wireless mouse Genius also.
Adobe guys tried resetting cache (different than deleting) and user preferences, creating new user, disabling both video cards . The issue was still there.
BTW!, After I switched windows in Win7 environment ( from after effects to the browser) the mouse drag worked again. I could move objects in comp window, scale; move sliders on time line and drag projects to folders in project window... everything fine until i pressed ANY key, say, shift key or ctrl key.
Probably we will never have the answer for this, since i had to format the C drive (i have work to do). Currently i'm installing CC again. So if problem persists, I'll ditch the computer through the window.

The control click and external mouse right click no longer works when copying and pasting album art within itunes. Ex. Hit get info for one song to paste to the rest, copying the artwork wont work when it used to.

My wireless mouse isnt working. new batteries, green light comes on, blinks, cursor wont move

my wireless mouse isnt working. new batteries, green light comes on, blinks, cursor wont move...?

For the future, you might want to consider changing batteries in both the keyboard and mouse before they run down completely and/or have any older USB keyboard and mouse on hand for emergency (those can also come in handly if you need to boot using keyboard commands which sometimes fail to respond with a bluetooth keyboard).

Mouse pad wont work after windows 7 install. Can't find driver. Please help

Hello, I just installed a clean version of windows 7 on a friends thinkpad model 4446. After first mouse pad worked but after a few reboots some how they stopped. In device manager I get an error in the base system device under other devices. I haven having trouble finding the correct driver needed. Any help is most appreciated.

Arghs!
It is a Lenovo G530 (Type 4446) but not Thinkpad G40, G41 or G50 - sorry, it was my error.
But the Ultranav has to work out of the box with Windows native drivers.
There is no G530 Ultranav driver from Lenovo available. With luck you can try the Vista driver
- driver
- readme with installation instructions
But the base system device still should be installed well with Windows update - see "Optional updates".

Magic Mouse wont close program or window when I left click.

Hi,
so I bought me a new set up iMac i7 with among others the magic mouse 3 months ago.
Not everytime but quite frequently when I try to close a program or any kind of window, by left click the red button on top left corner, it wont work, nothing happens.
Then I have to click somewhere outside that area and then go back to the red close button and it works.
This is also present sometimes when I want to close a tab in safari by the tab cross-button.
Anyone who has an idea of what the problem might be?
At a first glance I thought it was a software bug, since it work when I click outside the red close button and then go back and it works.
When it stops working it doesnt matter how many times I try, it just wont do until I click once outside the area.
I also have a track pad but it works flawless!
Thanks in advance for any hint into right direction!
regards - Peter

My ipod nano (2nd generation) will cont connect with windows or itunes, windows says it has had reported errors??? any help? havnt used ipod in over a week and now it wont work with my computer

my ipod nano (2nd generation) wont connect with windows or itunes, i used it last week (charged it through USB) then this week when i connect it (once again through USB) it wont work, it says "windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems" any help? ive made sure my itunes is up to date, done a reboot on my computer and ipod and still nothing..help please

This could either be a conflict with the iPod's docking port, the iPod's USB sync cable, or even the USB port you are plugging the iPod into on your PC. So the first thing I would try and do is plug the iPod into a different USB port on your PC. Make sure it's a high powered USB 2.0 port as they provide a higher power throughput than older USB ports or even the ones that are sometimes available on the front of the tower.
It might help to disconnected all other USB devices from the PC (minus the keyboard and mouse) and reboot the PC. Then reconnect the iPod once again.
If still no luck, swap out the cable with another known working cable to rule out the possibility of a damaged or faulty cable.
Lastly, plug the iPod into another PC to see if it's recognized there. If the same error appears on another machine, it's likely a hardware issue with the Nano meaning you'll want to have it serviced or replaced.
