Which mouse to use with the Y2P?

I have a Microsoft Optical mouse model 3902c693. I can't get it to work with my Y2P. I installed the windows 8 driver from the Microsoft website and it still doesn't work. Anyone know why? And which mouse would you recommend that works with the Y2P?
Here is the mouse:

I've been using an older verison of the Logitech MX wireless notebook mouse for years. Here's the closest current version (looks a little bit larger than mine):

I always avoid BlueTooth mice, since in my optinion BT is wholly inappropriate for a mouse. The need to establish a bidiectional encrypted communications channel means that you spend too much time with the computer and mouse saying "What?" back and forth at each other.
The more traditional wireless mice like mine simply broadcast all motion whether the receiver is there or not, so there's no connection to establish meaning they always work instantly every time. Yes, it uses up a USB port, but the receivers are pretty tiny and you can generally put them in and forget about them.

  • HT204387 Can a wireless mouse be used with the new IPAD?

    Can a wireless mouse be uses with the new iPad?

    While it is true that mice or other pointing device like track pads are not supported on the iPad since there is no real pointer, I use a stylus pen. I know it would probably tip over the iPad if you are standing it up, but it's the closest I've seen. I use the Wacom Bamboo stylus and a Zagg keyboard and the case for the iPad and keyboard. I use the stylus a lot on the Paper app to take notes in meetings and such. Not really a solution but if you are trying to move an insertion point in a document, it does work.

  • When I send an email with Mail, I often confuse the account which I'm using. The result is that I send a message with the wrong account! Is there a way to avoid this (for example a reminder before the email is sent)?

    When I send an email with Mail, I often confuse the account which I'm using. The result is that I send a message with the wrong account! Is there a way to avoid this (for example a reminder before the email is sent)?

    Hi, thanks for the answer, I did that already. Unfortunatly this doesn't help me at all, as I often forget to check the menu. For me composing the message is writing the text, the subject, the person to who is addressed and than press "send".
    I often forget to check the "from", and this is a problem because the software select itself one of the accounts.
    Isn't there a way at least to put as a default a blank field instead of one of the accounts? or an account which doesn't work so if I forget to specify the "from" I will be rnotofied that the message can't be sent.
    I guess this could be a rather common problem for many people!
    Thanks

  • Which wattage adapter should I use with the composite cable with my iPad?

    Which wattage adapter should I use with the composite cable when connected to my iPad while watching T. V. .

    Ultimately, use the power adapter that came with the iPad. But you should use any USB based power adapter that has a 10 watt/ 2 amp or higher power rating. Look close when buying a thrid party adapter, if it does not specify 10 watts/2 amps it is a lower 5 watt/1 amp charger that will not work.

  • Is there a large, clear desk pad suitable for use with the Magic Mouse?

    My well-loved Magic Mouse will not track on my clear, 36" X 24" desk pad and, thus, I'm looking to replace it with  a clear desk pad at least as large, but suitable for use with the Magic Mouse.  Currently, I'm using an extra-large Wowpad for my mouse.  Would a clear, matte desk pad work as well as the Wowpad with my Magic Mouse, or must I continue to use the Wowpad and seperate desk pad?  All suggestions grartefully accepted!

    This will be possible once improved sharing and collaboration are released. This will be soon by is not yet available. You will see several threads in the forums of customers requesting folder sharing. Folder sharing will be one part of it, but also there will be private sharing with specific individuals.

    I've used a uk iPad in Italy with just an adapter for the UK charger and it charged quite happily.
    Mains voltage in Italy is 220/240 and I think Germany is similar so a basic pin adapter should work.
    What has that got to do with the OP wanting to exchange a brand new iPad from the UK in Germany for a larger capacity model in an Apple Store

  • I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time  Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on  what other external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and  how to configure that disk

    I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time
    Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on
    what other
    external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and
    how to configure that disk.
    A complication that I need to resolve is the fact that I am using Vmware
    Fusion to be able to use Windows on my Mac. Now it seems that Time
    Machine is not backing up my files
    on that virtual Windows without additional configuration and my question
    is whether you can advise me here or whether this is only a matter for
    the Fusion virtual machine.

    If you want to use Time Capsule you can.. you simply bridge it and plug it into the existing router.. wireless can be either turned off or used to reinforce the existing wireless.. eg use 5ghz in the TC which is much faster than your 2.4ghz.
    You can also use a NAS.. many brands available but the top brands are synology, qnap and netgear readynas  series. These will all do Time Machine backups although how well always depends on Apple sticking to a standard. There are cheaper ones.. I bought a single disk zyxel which was rebadged and sold through my local supermarket. It actually works very well for TM at least on Snow Leopard. Major changes were made in Lion and again ML so do not instantly think it will work on later versions. I haven't tried it yet with those versions.
    Any external drive can be plugged into the mac. Use the one with the fastest connection or cheapest price according to your budget. USB2 drives are cheap and plentiful. But no where near as fast as USB3 or FW800. So just pick whichever suits the ports on your Mac. Interesting Apple finally moved to USB3 on their latest computers.
    TM should exclude the VM partition file.. it is useless backing it up from Mac OS side.. and will slow TM as it needs to backup that partition everyday for no purpose.. TM cannot see the files inside it to backup just the changes.
    You need to backup windows from windows. Use MSbackup to external drive.. if you have pro or ultimate versions you can backup to network drive. But MSbackup is a dog.. at least until the latest version it cannot restore the partition without first loading windows. There are about a zillion backup software versions for windows.. look up reviews and buy one which works for you. I use a free one Macrium Reflect which does full disk backups and is easy to restore.. to do incremental backups though you have to pay for it.

  • I have an external hard drive that was formatted by a PC and has files and directories etc. I want to format it and use it on my IMAC for backup but I can't seem to write to it nor can I delete current content. How do I initialize it for use with the MAC?

    I have an external hard drive that was formatted by a PC and has files and directories copied to it etc. I want to use it on my IMAC for backup. I see it on my my IMAC . I can open files etc.  But I can't seem to write to it nor can I delete current content. I don't care if I lose current content. How do I initialize it for use with the MAC?

    You can't write to it because it's formatted as NTFS which OS X will read but not write to. If you want to continue using the drive with both a PC and OS X you will need to download and install NTFS-3G so you can then write to it from your Mac. You can get NTFS-3G at:
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24481/ntfs-3g
    If you want to use the drive exclusively with your Mac then move the data off it and reformat it in Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utilities) as Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)

  • How can i determine which devices are used at the moment?

    Hi all,
    I am designing an interface with LabVIEW for uing agilent devices. My work colleagues will use this interface.  I want to determine which devices are used at the moment and if I determine used device, i will add automatically device names to interface's main vi. So all my work colleagues can see on the program which devices are used by another colleague. This devices are connected with GPIB. İ want to learn is there any function on Instrument I/O palette.
    Thanks,

    Hi Omer,
    so those devices are connected to the PC with a GPIB connection. Will your collegues run several DAQ programs at the same time?
    GPIB-devices being controlled by PC don't have a "in use"-signal. They wait for commands, execute them and send an answer. When you start to control them using two programs they may respond to both programs, mixing up settings/measurement values and so on.
    That being said: In MAX you can see all devices connected to your GPIB port. You could scan the GPIB port using VISA commands in your program. You might even try to access a certain device by it's VISA alias. I really don't know if you will get a "device nopt available" error message when that VISA alias is in use by a different program - but you might do a quick test on your own…

    I have an IPhone 4 which I just updated with the latest software, which put in it in Recovery Mode. It has the picture of the plug with ITunes, I downloaded it now its saying its in Recovery Mode, how do I save all of my previous data without Restoring?
    I updated the phone before backing it up on iTunes, now the update wanted me to connect the phone with iTunes and it says the phones in recovery mode and it must be restored before its used with iTunes. I go to click restore and it says it will reset it to factory default and I'll lose all my current data. I have all my sons pictures and videos along with this notes. I can't lose all of this data! Please help!

    You have to restore the iPod, no ifs, ands, or buts...
    After iOS is installed you will be asked if you what to set it up as a new iPod or if you want to restore from a backup.
    If you have a good backup you can restore that and you're good to go.
    If you don't have a good backup, then you end up with a "clean" iPod....

  • I am so confused.  I just downloaded Itunes.  I set up an Apple ID with a password.  Now I want to purchase a song.  I can't do it.  I keep getting the message: This Apple ID has not yet been used with the Itunes Store.  What am I doing wrong?

    You haven't opened an account with that Apple ID in iTunes. Open iTunes and log in. A dialog will appear in which you need to enter your Apple ID and/or password. Below it you should see a link for creating a new account. Click on that link to get started.

  • Which range extender works with the Linksys CIT400 phone?

    Which range extender works with the Linksys CIT400 VoIP phone? Can I use any range extender from any other comany or does it have to be one from Linksys? I am not sure if the CIT400 uses standard frequences.
    On a side note, where's the forum for the phones? I see one in the archives section which seems to be ready only.

    You can use the Linksys WRE54G range expander. For that matter, any 2.4Ghz range expander will work. But what’s more important is what router you would be using the range expander with!! Which router are you using?
