Usb wireless mouse lag

Hello!
I have a 2011 macbook pro with 10.6.8.
I'm using a logitech m505 wireless usb mouse, which started to jump around. It's annoying beyond any imagination.
I googled and there are tens of pages and many threads here but no solution. I tried Logitect Control Center, imousefix, steermouse NO LUCK.
I believe mouse lag started a few weeks ago.. any ideas where can I see any installation that may effect mouse driver ? 
or any ideas in general, this is the 10.6.8 th version of a operating system used by mostly multimedia guys (graphics designers?).. same mouse issues can't be around since 2006, can be ?
update:
those guys trying to fix sth hopefully soon : http://dae.cyberic.eu/blog/mouse-cursor-skipping-jumping-bug-on-mac-os-x/

To reset smc look here.
There's some additional links at the end of that article which may be additional help.

  • USB wireless mouse issues

    Hi, I have been having issues with my MBP in regards to my USB wireless mouse. The problem is most noticeable when I am playing WoW. The mouse either stops responding or it lags for a bit. Thinking it was a WoW issue I contacted a GM who told me that it was a USB firmware issue that Apple has acknowledged. I am just wondering if there is indeed a firmware issue and is there an update or fix to solve the problem. Thanks.

  • Wireless mouse lagging during network activity

    Wondering if anyone can help me out here.
    Don't know when this started happening but whenever I am pulling a file from my network or someone on my network pulling from me, my wireless mouse lags and the pointer barely moves. Where do I even start to try to troubleshoot this problem?

    I downloaded USB Overdrive, which seems to have done the trick. It realigns the "mouse curve" with what Apple used on OS 9. Although you said only Might Mouse, you might have a flaky mouse if other mice seem to work.

  • Logitech USB wireless Mouse & Presenter

    I have had a Logitech USB wireless Mouse & Presenter for few years, using it with my Powerbook G4. I recently upgraded to a Macbook and the presenter no longer works. A lot changed, hardware, OS X 10.5.5, and new version of Office.
    It shows up under About This Mac -> USB as "USB wireless Mouse & Presenter".
    However, Powerpoint doesn't respond to it. I am not sure what other software I could use to test it.
    Anyone solved this problem already? Any ideas how I'd troubleshoot this?
    I have the Logitech Control Center installed but it doesn't let me do anything with the presenter.
    any help would be appreciated.
    thanks.

    Doesn't anyone else use this device?

  • Why is my wireless mouse lagging after bootcamp install?

    Hi all,
    I'm running OS X 10.9.5 and I recently partitioned my hard drive so that I'd be able to run a specific statistical program on Windows. Everything went smoothly, and Windows is up and running.
    However, I noticed that once everything was finished, my wireless mouse started acting strange. It started lagging periodically, so I thought the batteries may be bad. I changed them, and it didn't help. I plugged in a different wireless mouse, and the same thing is happening. They're both logitech - don't know if that matters. I've played around with the system preferences for the mouse, and nothing seems to work.
    Any help is appreciated.

  • Transmitting iTunes interrupts my USB wireless mouse

    I am sitting very close to the Extreme n. Where I have the USB Logitech wireless mouse is maybe a foot directly front of it. When I am transmitting Airtunes to AExpress the movement of the mouse is affected. If I move the mouse to a different place while still streaming music, it appears to be fine again.
    Before I go digging around and try to lengthen cables to move the Extreme, I'm looking for some advice. Would changing the channel do it?

    Yes, I think you're right - I disabled the Microsoft Intellitype and point drivers and it fixed the waking and disconnection problem, but unfortunately I can't use all the shortcut keys on the keyboard as before.
    I've written to Microsoft to see when an update's due.
    Sorry for distrusting you Apple!
    And thanks for your prompt reply - I meant to click on "this solved my question" but now there's no way to undo it. Sorry :-(

  • MS USB wireless mouse working through Intellipoint at startup

    I use a Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 with my 2009 MBP running OSX Lion. I've installed Intellipoint 8.2 software. Problem: The MBP recognizes the mouse, but doesn't automatically start Intellipoint. I have to remove the USB receiver and plug it back in, and the mouse then works under Intellipoint software and settings. How can I get Lion to get the mouse working under Intellipoint on startup?

    Do you have a wired USB mouse to try?
    It seems to me that the drivers from the WIFI mouse is not of the correct version for the OS you are running on.
    You may want to google for the correct drivers as well.
    I have tried a wired usb mouse and that wont work either :(
    There are only 1 set of drivers for the wifi mouse I have, checked on the manufactures website and the driver version is the exact same one as I have on disk. The mouse worked on my other pc with the exact OS 
    A ps2 wireless mouse works but that mouse has no range :(

    Hi - I hope this helps. The problem may be hardware related in which case I can't help, but if not, try this.
    Right click and delete both of the yellow mouse HID drivers in device manager. Then do a normal shutdown and Restart with the keyboard using Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up Windows Task Manager.
    This should force the system to reinstall drivers when it next boots.
    You may find that a simple Scan for Hardware Changes also works after you have deleted the yellow drivers.
    Another trick is to try the mouse in other USB ports - sometimes the system just gets confused and sets the device to a particular port. If it is put in another port it often can't find the device.
    Good Luck
    I have tried the wireless mouse in every usb port, also uninstalling them in device manager - all had no effect :(

  • USB wireless mouse sluggish

    Hello,
    I am trying to use my Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000 (mouse and keyboard) with my Mac book Pro.
    At times, the mouse is really sluggish. I would remdy this beahvior by removing and re-plugging in the wireless USB key.
    Has anyone observed this behavior with other wireless desktop and mouse?
    Thanks
    Ken

    Sounds like your CPUs are getting pushed to the limit. You can use Activity Monitor or another similar utility to see if any particular processes are hogging major resources.

  • Macbook Pro won't wake up usb wireless mouse after sleep

    When my MBP (early 2011) with ML 10.8.2 wakes from sleep, my wireless usb mouse doesn't work. I have to unplug an plug again the usb receiver. I would appreciate some help, please...
    thanks in advance.

    Indeed blackburntw,
    It is all down to the Hall Effects switch, used not just on MBPs , but on PBs before them.
    The problem is particularly obvious if you put an MBP13 down on top of one of the plastic MBs, though, as you will see in various threads here. Gives you the Dickens of a scare, in fact, until you move the computer, as , as long as you leave it there, no troubleshooting process will resolve it!
    You'll be glad to know that Google and Apple are both already on top of the matter, though. Apple released a KB item about the matter back in 2009. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2917
    (Sorry blackburntw, I couldn't resist. It really is a very weird experience when you first run into it, I agree. When it happened to me I was fortunate enough to have been reading the KB updates in the previous week. Otherwise I might have been sitting there wondering what the matter was until my wife wanted to use her MB that I'd plonked my MBP down on top of so that I could snaffle her charger for a while! It is certainly worth posting a reminder about every once in a while.)
    Cheers

  • Need help identifying Apple Wireless Mouse

    I was given a PowerBook G4 laptop at a recent Mac user group meeting.  My plan for the computer is to donate the laptop and the parts and pieces given to me to a local agency.  The agency will then give it so some family that needs but can't afford a computer.
    The computer came with Tiger, and I have the disks.  But the (presumed) original owner has installed 10.5 Leopard and I have the disk for that.
    In looking around Apple, I think this is a bluetooth version of the Mighty Mouse.  But I've been unable to locate a photo that matches this mouse.
    It looks like a Mighty Mouse on the outside, but remove the battery cover and it doesn't match any photo and/or manual I've found.
    At the end of the mouse where the sliding switch/LED cover is located, and under the cover, there is a sliding switch marked + and -.  On the batt cover, the Model is A1015 but a search has returned 0 results. 
    I assume that to turn the mouse on, you slide the cover to expose the LED light.  And, the light should turn on.  But, it doesn't.  The batteries are good.
    In looking at the mouse, I think the sliding cover should depress what I'll call a switch, ahen when I manually depress the switch, the LED turns on, and is discovered.  Without the light on, the computer will not discover the mouse.  After discovery, and continuing to hold the switch down to keep the LED on, the mouse will not pair up to the computer.  Just for FYI, I get the same results trying to pair to my iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    Which leaves me with the following questions:
    Is this a Mighty Mouse?
    Is there a manual and/or photo of this mouse somewhere?
    Should the red LED turn on when the sliding cover exposes the LED?
    Will it only work with Tiger?
    Is there something small that is missing from the battery cover that would depress the switch properly?
    Does it only work with Tiger?
    What does the switch with the + and - do?
    Ken

    Hi, twtwtw,
    well, without having it in hand I can't really see how it's supposed to attach or what exactly it does.
    Photos of the battery cover and spring disasembled and assembled.
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/lpw15yseg0a5w2m/Battery%20cover%20unassembled.jpg
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/56sbnv31usewthr/Battery%20cover%20assembled.jpg
    I just have the pieces laying in the correct position, no permanent repair.  Would have simply thrown them on the scanner, but the all-in-one unit with scanner that was installed was removed yesterday to be donated with the laptop mentioned in my original post.
    The round end of the spring pops the battery cover off when the latch is released.  The other end depresses the switch in the mouse when the slide in the battery cover is moved.
    it looks like they can be taken apart - there's a teardown of a different model at ifixit.com, which you might be able to adapt.
    The wired version of a mouse similar in construction to that unit came with my iMac.  When the trackball stopped scrolling, I found out you had to end up using Super Glue to reassemble, and that's no way to design a product, IMO.  But, I always hated that mouse, it didn't fit my hand, and typing on the keyboard reminds me of the horrible "chiclet" keypads of yesteryear, and I replaced both with an old Apple Pro keyboard and a Microsoft USB wireless mouse that actually fit my hand!!!  What a concept!  
    The thing at the top (between the +/-) looks more like a latch than a switch to me.  is it holding the bottom plate in place? 
    There is the proverbial Tab A on the cover that fits into Slot B on the mouse, but the the sliding thing does nothing to affect the tab/slot that I can determine.  Possibly, it may control the amount of movement vertically you apply to get a "mouse press", but at the moment I've not tested that theory.
    I think the +/-  bit really is just a guide for battery installation. 
    "Illogical", as Mr. Spock would say.  The orientation of the +/- is 90º to the battery installation.  And both batteries are installed with the + end towards this end of the mouse.
    if attaching the the piece of metal is just a matter of broken pins, though, you could try super-gluing it in place.
    Super glue was my first thought, but spring steel is hard to get liquid type adhesives to adhere to.  I also thought of using Gorilla Glue, if you're familiar with it.  It's hard to find stuff that Gorilla Glue won't bond to with some degree of success.
    I dug out my freestanding magnifier, and it almost looks like the "pins" probably had an upper, smaller in dia. part, that may have been melted over the spring to hold the spring in place.
    and no matter what you say, tape is always an option. 
    LOL!  Hope that was a joke for real, as that never an option for my repairs.  If done, it's cheap and cheezy, as if you don't care what kind of workmanship you have.
    With respect to the link...  did you seriously keep hitting that link and sitting through the sarcasimation, rather than typing the words into a new google window yourself?  Heck, you could have copy/pasted the text instead of typing it, or bookmarked the resulting google page for future reference, or..., or... 
    To start with, Google is almost never my search engine of first choice.  Why?  I've not trusted them with anything since they were caught violating privacy issues, more than once.  My first choices are DuckDuckGo, Startpage, and IxQuick, because those search engines do not track your searches and surfing habits.  Where I go and what I do is no one's business.  I don't want that info given/sold/stolen by marketers, spammers, scammers, hackers, et. al.
    Startpage and IxQuick appear to be from the same folks.
    So I have all the trackers blocked as best as possible, Javascript disabled, etc., which makes getting the encrypted URL to work is, well, extra work.    Simply copying and pasting the encrypted URL is therefore blocked.  I see no value other than shorter typed links in email, forums, newsgroups, etc. to the shortened links, plus making bucks for the folks at TinyURL and others that create them for you.  And of course, they are tracking you to.
    So, as you may have guessed by now, I do not use Safari.   <grin>
    I didn't plan on doing it more than once, but had to when you replied.  And I've already got too damned many bookmarks. 
    Dude.
    And I'm neither a Dude or Dudette.  But been online before there was a world wide web, and a 1200 baud modem was state of the art.
    It seems to me that you are suffering from a chronic case of missing-the-point.  The first time you clicked that link it was me wasting your time; my bad, but gotcha, laughs all around.
    Did not miss the point, and I am not laughing.  Wasting the time of your friends is one thing, wasting the time of strangers is simply bad manners.
    Any time you clicked it after that you knew what was going to happen, so you were wasting your own time.  You're complaining that your time is being wasted because you just won't google it yourself - what am I supposed to do with that except ?
    I will plead guilty to assuming that Apple would have documentation on their own website, n'cest-ce pas?  (To save you some Googling and unencrypting URLs, http://www.yourdictionary.com/n-est-ce-pas)  If Apple had the info on their site, the seach engine would/should have found that link, and I would than have wasted my time with a Google search when it shouldn't have been necessary.  I learned a long time ago, to always, always check the mfgr.'s site first for the correct information.

  • After Update to Lion I can't use USB-W mouse

    After I Update to Mac OS X Lion (on my MacBook Pro) and I plug in my USB - wireless mouse. This mouse doesnt work, but on Mac Os X snow leopard works with no problems :-( (note: I dont use Mac Mouse, because Iam used to use my mouse...)
    thx for answer
    Jan Strnadek

    I am having the same problem with my mouse, it is a Logitech not sure what kind. Really annoying because my macbook is a older one and the trackpad is not the multi touch one so i tend to use a usb mouse from time to time. And my mouse is a must when playing games, for example when playing Minecraft. You really need a mouse. I am convinced that this is one of many bugs that will be found in Lion. (loving it so far! exept for this bug) and I think/hope it will be fixed in the first coming software update!

    Has this been happening only after upgrading to linux 3.19.2-1?
    Do you happen to see
    pci_pm_runtime_suspend(): hcd_pci_runtime_suspend+0x0/0x60 [usbcore] returns -16
    or the like in the output of dmesg?
    I ask because ever since my upgrade to 3.19.2-1 my previously happy Logitech USB wireless mouse has been intermittenly hanging for a few seconds. Looks like a power management issue and, sure enough, appears to happen only when running on battery.
    (See also this post and this bug report, perhaps tangentially related.)

  • Macbook Pro Retina (15") can't connect to wireless mouse and external USB keyboard

    Hi All,
    I got my new MacBook Pro Retina (15 inch) about 3 weeks ago. It works fine. I got a 30" Dell screen that I am using via thunderbolt/usb adapter. Also, I am using a thunderbolt ethernet adapter. Both adapters work fine without any problems.
    I have an apple usb keyboard connected to the USB hub of the screen, as well as my iphone cable. It is a regular, full size apple keyboard. In addition to this, I have a logitech nano connected directly to the right usb port of the macbook pro.
    This setup was working well until a few days ago. I lost connectivity with my mouse. Initially, I thought the batteries are empty. After replacing them, I still had no connection (again, the usb receiver is *directly* connected to the macbook).
    I changed a few cables here and there and noticed that I can get either the keyboard to work or the mouse but not both at the same time. A reboot did not help.
    Did anybody encounter such a strange problem already? If so, what could I possibly do?
    Thank You,
    --Martin

    Hello nikkig00,
    It is certainly difficult to use the computer if your wireless keyboard and mouse do not connect.  I found a few resources I recommend for this issue.
    I recommend reviewing this article first:
    Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3048
    If the issue persists, I recommend reviewing the section titled "Top troubleshooting tips" in the article below.  Step 9 specifically stands out to me for the issue you described:
    9. Restart your computer
    Sometimes a simple restart of your Mac is all it takes to get things running smoothly again. You may also want to try resetting your computer's PRAM and NVRAM.
