Wireless Mighty Mouse Discount When Buying iMac

I recently bought a new iMac but accidentally forgot to check the box that says "wireless mighty mouse." I wanted to buy one yesterday of the online store but found they were £49!! When buying with an iMac they were £13. Is there any way that I can get one for £13? (I still have my iMac Receipt!)

I am sure that the £13 was the difference in price between buying the Mac with a wired vs a wireless mouse. It is £49 at full price. I doubt Apple is interested in trading you mouses, but the only way to know is to ask Apple.

Wireless Mighty Mouse Sputters During Network activity

Has anyone figured this one out yet.
I have a wireless mighty mouse that when you copy files to or from a computer off a network,
it sputters and barely moves when trying to use it. If i plug in a usb mouse there is no problem at all.
Was using a verizon wireless router and just bought an airport extreme. Guess what. Still does it. When I hard wire my computer to the router all works fine.
I just cant think of what this could possibly be. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

There are a lot of people with this problem - mostly MacBook owners, but probably because they're more likely to have the wireless and BlueTooth running.
I have the problem with a Logitech mouse on a Mac Mini -- cursor goes bonkers at random intervals, with terrible mouse lag, and I basically can't use the mouse when it's happening. It doesn't correlate with anything I can see in the Activity Monitor, but I can stop it if I turn off BOTH Airport and the router.
Not likely to be RF interference with the signals, IMO, but some have reported that switching to an 802.11n router (or 802.11g with b compatibility disabled) solved the problem.

Does Time Machine Backup irritate wireless Mighty Mouse?

Hi there. I'm having a strange issue here. With an iMac that came with bluetooth mouse and keyboard, OS out of the box (no software updates installed because there's no internet connection), each time Time Machine is backuping files, the Mighty Mouse is acting weird. It actually feels like someone else is working with it. Even if I do not use it and leave it alone, the pointer goes wild on the screen. Trying to work during Time Machine backups is impossible, because I cannot use the Mouse properly.
Does anyone of you have a similar, if not, the same issue? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
later, Stephan

I am having a similar problem with my IMac and Time Machine. During wireless Time Machine backups, the wireless mighty mouse and wireless keyboard disconnect. If the mighty mouse remains connected, it moves very slowly and is virtually unusable.
So far I've thought of two potential problems to troubleshoot:
1. I experience this problem when I connect to the Time Machine through the "802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)" wireless connection (set in the AirPort Utility), but I don't experience the same problem when I connect to the Time Machine through a wired ethernet connection. So it appears the b/g compatible setting is causing interference. I haven't tested to see if the "802.11n only" wireless connections causes this problem or not.
2. I also wonder if the IMac does not have enough RAM to complete the wireless backup. My IMac has 2gigs of RAM, and during backups it maxes out. I plan to upgrade to 4 gigs to see if the problem continues. (Stephan, how much RAM to you have installed?)
peace,
Marcus

Wireless mighty mouse compatability

I want to buy my first mac. I'm totally leaning toward a macbook, but I'm curious to know if the wireless mighty mouse can be used with it when it's just on my desktop. It's just easier sometimes. Thanks.
Oh, and if it can't, how about the wired mouse?

The wireless mighty mouse works great with the MacBook. I have had one for over a year. Best mouse I have ever owned.

Wireless Mighty Mouse Replacement

I dont know to whom I have to start begging, to actually get this done... But for the love of all that is good on this Earth, can Apple PLEASE replace my wireless mighty mouse, with a wired mighty mouse.
I've only owned my iMac for a few months, everything works fine, still covered under Apple Care, I just need to downgrade this mouse. The weight of this thing and how quickly it runs through batteries is becoming an issue for me. I'm a Tech Lead for a support call center, and regardless of policy I know this can be done if the right person gives the green light for it. You guys can keep the difference in cost, I'll provide whatever information is needed, I just really want to downgrade this mouse to the wired version...
*PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE*
Thank You,
Charles

Wireless Mighty Mouse & No Bluetooth

Hi
Some time back when my MacPro was still in warranty I complained to Apple that my Mighty Mouse wasn't working. They sent me a replacement - a wireless Mighty Mouse. I have no Bluetooth so I complained and they sent me a wired one.
Now I've got to thinking there's times when I could do with getting that wireless mouse to run....
Can anyone explain how to do this? Can I just buy a dongle or some such to stick in a USB port? Or is that not possible with this machine?
Thanks in anticipation
Jim

Hi Kappy - you're right in thinking my MacPro came without - it was a Refurb, so the basic model.
Appreciate your point that some BT to USB adaptors may be better than others, and I'll google for suggestions which might be best for MacPro - had hoped someone here might have knowledge of what works and what doesn't.
Meanwhile I'm 100 miles of Scottish highland roads from the nearest Apple retailer, so I'll see if anything emerges from websearches before I pack it up for the journey!!
thanks for your help

Wireless Keyboard + Wireless Mighty Mouse questions

Hey everyone, Mac users please don't hate me for asking this but I have some questions about using the Apple wireless keyboard and wireless Mighty mouse on a windows XP PC (Not in boot camp).
I have already bought the wireless keyboard, and have it working with my Windows PC using a Belkin bluetooth dongle, and was just wondering why the Control + Alt + Delete combo on the apple keyboard of (Control + option + Fn + Backspace) isn't working for me? I think it may be something to do with the keyboard being wireless, or possibly the Fn key will not work in Windows? I also would like to be able to remap some of the "F" keys on the wireless keyboard to windows functions like the volume and playback/ pause media keys. Is there any software anyone can reccomend which will allow me to do this?
My second question is about the wireless mighty mouse. I haven't bought it yet, but I have strong intentions of doing so and using it with a Windows XP (to be updated to Win7 when it gets out of beta ~Sept) PC. I love apple hardware- peripherals especially, which is why I already bought the wireless keyboard and now wish to buy the Mighty mouse along with a 30" Apple display to use with the PC in my office at home. I have read mixed reports on many Mac forums about the compatability of the WMM with Windows, and have come here to get it cleared up before I spend close to £50 on a mouse that may or may not work. I heard somewhere that some but not all functions of the mouse would work in Windows, whereas somewhere else I read that a guy had installed a driver that was extracted from a (I think Leopard) Mac install disk and that the mouse was working 100% on his XP or Vista PC.
Any help would be greatly appreciated guys, I built myself a special edition of one of my own design Eclipse series PC's to put in my new office at the start of this year and normal monitors/ peripherals just dont look right in that room because its very minimalist and modern and Apple make the most minimalist but functional hardware I know, which is why I want to use this KB/Mouse/Monitor combination.
Thanks,
Matt.

I'm REALLY interested in how you got your Apple wireless keyboard to work on your XP PC. Was the keyboard recognized and working immediately? I've been reading thread after thread; still can't figure it out. Can you provide any help? Thanks.

Wireless keyboard and Wireless Mighty Mouse failure

Hello,
I have just bought an iMac 20" with a wireless keyboard and wireless mighty mouse.
Both the keyboard and mouse will not work properly.
I followed the installation/setup instructions and paired first the keyboard and then mouse. Then the problems started.
1. Mighty Mouse tracking is dreadful and very slow (even after adjusting mouse properties)
2. Keyboard started to drop connection and then when awoke started repeating keys (as if key stuck)
3. Keyboard then disconnected and will not be recognised when searching for Bluetooth devices nor can I pair it again.
4. When both were working the Airport extreme wireless network would be lost (but I think that this is a red-herring and irrelevant)
Interesting once keyboard stopped working the wireless mouse tracking improved.
The only software I have installed since taking the iMac out of the box are (in order)
- Running/installing all Apple updates (including firmware 1.1)
- Installing Firefox 2.0
- Installing Adobe Reader 8.0
- Installing Stuffit Reader 11.0
- Installing Canon Bubble Jet Printer driver
- Installing latest version of Skype
If I use a USB mouse or keyboard they work ok.
This is the second replace imac within 2 weeks. The first had the same problem.
Can anybody help please as I'm new to Mac's after switching from a PC and I do not want to have to chuck either the keyboard or mouse or have the pain of Apple supplying me with a 3rd replacement iMac

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Congrats on the new Mac.
Did you Repair Disk Permissions after the software updates and installs?
Whether this solves this issue for you, it is something that you should always do. Go to Apps/Ut5ilities/Disk Utility and select your OS X HDD. Press Repair Permissions. Run Repair Permissions until no more repairs are reported.

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???"

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!

Windows 7 and Wireless Mighty Mouse, Wireless Keyboard and sound problem

Hi,
I just installed Windows 7 x64 Ultimate on my iMac 24" white ( OS X Leopard 10.5 ). Surprisingly, it installed without any problems. The only problems I have now are the Wireless Mighty Mouse and the Wireless Keyboard ( alu ).
After I installed Windows I inserted the Leopard Instal DVD and installed Boot Camp. I got a message right away saying that: "This program has known compatibility issues...". I clicked Run program and continued. Soon I got the same warning, but this time not for Boot Camp, but Intel Chipset Device Software. I clicked Run program yet again and it continued installing. Then I got a different warning: "Service KeyAgent' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." I clicked Ignore and installation continued. I got another "Service Mac HAL' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." warning, clicked Ignore again and after that it finished soon and I restarted the computer.
When I came back into Windows there was no Apple folder anywhere or any sign that I have just installed Boot Camp ( should there be? )
I installed Boot Camp Update 2.1 for Windows XP ( because Vista x64 version wouldn't start ) and basically I got the same warnings I did when I installed Boot Camp from the Leopard DVD ( described above ). I also tried to instal Boot Camp Update 2.2 for Windows, but it didn't start. I also downloaded Bluetooth Update 1.0, but all I got was a message saying: "This update is not intended for this computer and will not be installed.".
There is also no sound.
This is basically it, I really hope some of you who run Windows 7 with wireless keyboards and mice can help me, because I desperately need this to work ( I use a Windows only program for school ).
PS. I have a 2007 iMac 24" white and while it is not on the we're-not-supporting-that list for the infamous Windows 7 Boot Camp update, all other iMacs from its generation are. Any ideas?

Found a solution for the "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model" message. Here is the link: http://www.techulous.com/hardware/how-to-apple-boot-camp-64-bit-for-windows-7-on -unsupported-macs.html
Everything works ( for ) now. Yay!

Wireless Mighty Mouse "freezes", but ___

I've had this a couple times with my previous 20", where the Bluetooth wireless mouse did nothing, yet my Wacom tablet / pen was fine.
But this time, w/ my new 24" , it was one restart, then another. . and no change. But a shutdown snapped it out of it.
I'm not at all versed in crashlogs & such, but I'm foolishly hoping it's a certain, concise symptom.
More likely it could be any of a dozen things, right ?

Jen,
I had the same problem, though oddly enough, it affected only the non-administrator accounts on my iMac. Thinking the problem might be software related, or he result of transfering account information from my old iMac, I erased and reinstalled the operating system. When this did not solve the problem, I contacted Apple support, and they took me through the usual self-help step (e.g. clearing the NVRAM). Eventually, at Apple's suggestion, I took my iMac in to the local Apple store, where they ran some tests, but could not find a problem. They swapped out my wireless Mighty Mouse, but the problems continued. I contacted Apple again, and they arranged to send out a support person (to my home) to replace the Bluetooth module and logic board. After a day of considering this, I called Apple, and asked that they simply replace my iMac (it was but thirty days old), and they agreed to do so. My new iMac is enroute.
I know Apple appears not to agree, but I think the problem is with Leopard. If it was a hardware problem, it should also have affected my administrator account.

Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Mighty Mouse performing erratically

I got the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Mighty Mouse as soon as they were available and I haven't had any problems with them until a few days ago. Now, both devices will "disconnect" for a few moments (the screen will show the "Connection lost" icon) and immediately reconnect.
The keyboard usually does it so quickly that it doesn't affect my typing. The Mighty Mouse, however, will sometimes slow down to a very erratic, choppy refresh rate - something like a dusty ball mouse cca. 1994. This usually lasts for about a minute and then fixes itself.
This happens several times per hour. I've tried restarting the computer, restarting the devices (replacing the batteries), removing them as Bluetooth devices and pairing them again, turning Bluetooth on the computer on and off... nothing seems to fix this. Both devices have fresh rechargeable batteries in them, showing nearly-full charge in System Preferences.
Is this a known or common issue? Who's to blame, the mouse and keyboard or the iMac? Has anyone found a reasonable fix?
Thanks.

Hi Neven:
See my thread about IDENTICAL situation:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1235070&tstart=30
The erratic behavior is identical, except that only my wireless keyboard is misbehaving. Unlike you, it has become a major hassle for me when I am typing and my keyboard disconnects mid-keystroke. Or, I'm reviewing a website or my work and the keyboard disconnects three/four times in two minutes. Last night, for instance, I was watching something on TV in the background and I saw in amazement as my keyboard just kept disconnecting and reconnecting every 30 seconds.
Otherwise, it is same, same, same: fresh batteries, no other bluetooth devices, 18" distance from the iMAC.
I noticed this began to happen AFTER I downloaded and installed last weeks' iMAC update.
So I reiterate my comment from my own thread:
+_*APPLE, ARE YOU READING THESE POSTS?*_+
There's a ghost in the machine.

Sluggish Wireless Mighty Mouse

Has anyone had trouble with their Mighty Mouse (wireless) become very sluggish after computer awakes from a sleep mode. My symptoms seem to get so bad after that after a day or so I have to restart my computer and then the mouse once again moves freely only to slow down again after about half a day. I have closed as many programs as I could with no improvement. This reminds me of my horrible days when I had a Windows PC and it would slow down too.

This is the serial number to the wireless mighty mouse that I have KY718061ZXXKA. I have tried just about everything. I still have my original wireless mouse that came with my imac and it works fine. Most of the time I find it back in use after my wife has become frustrated with the MM. I have already tried deleting all mouses and keyboard and re-adding them. I have tried just have the MM and nothing works. Like I mention earlier, it will work just fine from anywhere of a day to several days. Then after I awake the computer from a standby mode (screensaver), I then notice the sluggishness. I just switched it out again as I am typing this and it works fine again. I wonder if I should turn off the standby mode of my computer. Seems when it goes into a sleep/standby mode, that is when the trouble starts. As suggested earlier, I also cleaned it in accordance with Apple's recommendations and change the batteries out frequently. At this point I am probably going to go with a wired mouse which I dread given the limited number of USB ports on the imac. I appreciate everyone;s advice. I have read when I googled this that the mighty mouse has always been problematic at best but I really like the right click features and the scroll ball a lot.

Bluetooth headset disconnects wireless Mighty Mouse

I have a Jabra bluetooth pair of headphones (BT620S) that I use with my Intel iMac. They work great as headphones since they are connecting via A2DP. But they also have the option of being used as a headset, for example with softphones or similar. Only this is useless!
Every time I connect as a headset, my mouse disconnects and the sound result I get is really bad. It's like an inch thick concrete wall is between the headset and the computer, even though I'm sitting immediately in front of it?!
Any ideas? I've tried to unpair and pair both devices again. I also have a wireless Apple keyboard. Thanks!
