Do i have to use Apple mouses?

dont like them, too small
Will logitechs work?
Any suggests?
thanks

No, you need not use an Apple brand mouse. Just about any USB (or Bluetooth, for that matter) mouse will do. Many here in Apple Discussions use Logitech mice. I believe Logitech has updated its mouse driver software so that it is now universal binary, and will work with the iMac Core Duo. Have a look at the Apple store on line for a sample of some of the many that will work with your Mac.
I hope this helps.

Using Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboard/mouse with a MacBook

What is required to use a MacBook with the Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse?
-- i.e., what 'setup' is required to get the MacBook to recognize those devices and respond to input from them?
Thanks.

To be able to use the mouse and keyboard to full effect, such as key combos on boot and all the mouse buttons, its best to install the drivers from the cd that came with the mouse and keyboard.

sounds more like Bluetooth rather than moue, but w/o knowing w/o posting mac model type/year we... will... not... know... what you have
All computers are personal computers, a PC though is also "non-Apple" in common usage.
Mac also is platform and OS.
Very confused reading what you are trying to tell us.

You can find the Apple Bluetooth card on eBay for as little ten dollars (says its for the 2008 model Mac Pro, not sure about the 2007).
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bluetooth-Board-iMac-and-Mac-Pro-922-8233-922-8233-/1208 49278570
Here is a link to a full explanation of the card and how to install it. Part numbers may differ a bit as that is an old article and newer models have come out.
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/Mac_Pro/Bluetooth_MacPro_install/Bluetooth_Ma cPro_install.html
Just make sure that the part will work in your model Mac Pro. To that end, you may be better off avoiding eBay and going to a parts reseller. There are even third party cards that use the internal Apple bluetooth slot.
http://fastmac.com/bluetooth.php
In theory, using a USB or PCI card will work at login so long as it is recognized by Apples drivers. You say you need to launch an application to use your current USB Bluetooth dongle? If it is not controlled by the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar then it must be using a third party driver of some sort. Unfortunately, I don't know off hand which USB and PCI cards are supported.

Can't use non apple mouse with hard drive test?

Having trouble reading an installation CD for a new scanner. Laptop with Tiger fine. Not iMac. So, was trying to run Hardware Test. Inserted disk, restarted with option key down. Image comes up. Can't select anything because Macally mouse won't work in harddrive test mode. Mouse plugged into port on back of computer, not in keyboard. Do I have to find the original apple mouse?
Thanks for help! Judy

It should work, I have a non-Apple mouse that I use for that and it works just fine. Perhaps Macally mouses require special software to run, maybe you should check their web site. I know my Wacom, what I usually use, is completely dead until my login window opens.
So, yeah, I think you need to find the original Apple one.

My Logitech G5 Gaming Laser Mouse USB (Corded) - http://www.surpluscomputers.com/348331/logitech-g5-gaming-laser-mouse.html
Isn't working too well on my 13'' macbook pro - http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MC374LL/A?mco=MTc0Njg1ODA
Whenever I aggresively use the mouse (ie trying to scroll all the way left or right up or down) in SC2, it works fine.
But whenever I try to do "close" movement actions (ie send a probe that spawns at nexus to mineral line)
the mouse cursor goes EXTREMELY slow and I need to "force" it by moving it further/faster in the designated direction.
Is there a reason for this? (it also happens not in sc2, but I thought with all the computer gurus here, I'd post it)
Also, it's come to my attention that this could be the cause of "acceleration."
Any way to disable this?

Acceleration means what it says. As you move the mouse faster, do you want the pointer to accelerate a little, or a lot? You might want to set acceleration to a low value. Check the Logitech driver software for this feature, or if that doesn't work, try the Keyboard & Mouse system preference where Apple calls it "Tracking Speed."
The reason some people like high acceleration is that they have large monitors or multiple monitors. A constant speed would not work, because it would be invariably too fast for small movements and too slow to get the cursor from the far left to far right edge of all connected monitors. So acceleration means if you move the mouse a couple inches slowly, the mouse is at or nearly at 1:1 speed, but if you move the mouse the same couple inches but much more quickly, it moves the pointer much further so you can get across all monitors fast.
If you have a small monitor, like a 13", acceleration/tracking speed should be set rather low.

I suggest that you request this feature, as I have, at Apple's feature request site. Maybe if enough of us request this it will come in a future iOS release.

Scrolling Safari with an Apple mouse stops after I use it for a short time.

I was using Safari the other day within Apple mouse and it stopped scrolling. I tried doing it with the Track Mouse with the same result. So I took the system down and back up. It worked for a few minutes and then stopped. Any ideas?

Mighrt be due to Safari extensions or third party plug-ins.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

Using Apple remote with macbook display closed

Hi ,
I have a macbook connected to LCD TV with HDMI connection .
Is there a way to use Apple remote with display closed .
examples of using apple remote with display closed would be
(1) waking the macbook with apple remote
(2) putting the macbook to sleep with apple remote
(3) Shutting down the macbook with apple remote
(4) accessing front row (using LCD TV as Display )
while doing this should I connect the macbook to power source.
please point me to any documentation / solutions available .
I don't have any external keyboard or mouse connected to macbook . I just want to use Apple remote to do the above functions .

Hi suresh,
as mentioned here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86286
and
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300562
you must have to have a keyboard or mouse to trigger the macbook wake up from sleep when you close the lid.
usb mouse is not that expensive and you can start with that.
Good Luck

Apple Mouse Magic with Windows Vista

Hello!
My computer is Windows Vista 32 bits.
I have bluetooth mouse "Apple Mouse Magic", I got to work on Windows Vista I installed the drivers, but every time I reboot or re-enter Windows does not recognize me, and I have to link each time the mouse with a program Bluetooth BlueSoleil.
Does anyone know how I can leave it linked to Windows Vista without using an intermediary the "BlueSoleil"?
I tried adding it through the bluetooth device but there's no framework for when the box "Allow Bluetooth devices to find this computer" whenever I get the same error:
"Error while Windows save the settings. It is possible that the Bluetooth device is disconnected.
Do not keep the following configuration:
-Configuration Discovery
"Connection Settings"
Can anyone help me?
Thank you

In reality... probably. Why would you want it anyway? There are many many better mice out there.

my cursor jumps around when i'm typing. it randomly lands in a previous part of the text. i do not use a mouse. i am decinitely NOT accudentally hitting the trackpad. it happens enough that i am starting to hate my fairly new macbook pro. i tried turning off bluetooth but it still happens. the strangest part is i cant find other complaints of this happening, at least recently. anyone have ideas?
