Wireless Mighty Mouse Right Button does not work well

Recently I bought in Online Apple Store a Wireless Mighty Mouse.
I installed the drivers that came in the CD, and, I defined in the System Preferences the second button of the mouse (the Right Button) to function as the Secondary Button.
But after the computer going to sleep and I wakes it up, or I stop a little to work with the Mouse, or then without none apparent reason, the Right Button behaves as the Left Button, like if it had one and only button in the Mouse.
To solve the problem I have to disconnect the mouse and/or the bluetooth connection, so that the Right Button functions again as I defined it in the System Preferences like a Secondary Button. But I think that is not the solution for who needs a mouse to work.
Therefore, I thank you a solution to solve this problem.
Sincerely,
Paulo
The computers where I worked with this Wireless Mighty Mouse and where I had this problem was:
- a PowerBook 12", 1.5GHz
- and a MacBook Pro 15", 1.83GHz
- both with MacOS 10.4.8
(Sorry for my bad english)

There are a few threads going describing this problem Discussions. (E.g., check out this one.)
It appears that there's probably a hardware QC issue with some fraction of the wireless Mighty Mice. Replacing the bad mouse -- either at a local Apple Store or via AppleCare online -- is what I'd suggest. (That's what I ended up doing and the replacement mouse has been fine.)

  • My iMac mouse right click does not work now

    Hi all,
    My iMac mouse right click does not work now.  It was fine a couple of days ago. 
    Right click is definitely enabled, I have checked it several times.
    A Google search revealed that in Firefox it could be that I'm not using the latest version of Firebug.  I have auto updates on and Firebug is the latest version 1.11.3
    I use right click for correcting spell checked words, instead of a suggested correct spelling I get the 'open in a new tab' menu.
    In Firefox when I right click to open in a new tab I get the menu but it does nothing.
    It is driving me mad
    Any help will be greatly appreciated,
    Thank you
    P.S. thought it was suddenly working when I did the spell check in this post but it was the left click doign it....

    I don't use Firefox so I can't test it, but it might be something to do with a preference setting. Have a look at this link (ignore all the instructions), just look at the image of the preferences, there appears to be a setting in Javascript preferences relating to contextual menus. Check to see what your settings are:

  • Wireless Mighty Mouse Scroll Ball does not scroll downward

    Hello,
    I have a mighty mouse I use with my iMac and I cannot seem to get it to scroll down (any window) lately. The scroll ball does scroll up, but not down. I did reset the mouse, but is it time for a cleaning? I have used it for about 7-8 months. Thanks for the replies.

    Great adivce. My MM is 2 years old and just stared suffering the tortures of the damned. Tried it with water and dry with no joy. Tossed some rubbing alcohol on a bath towel. Did the trick despite lint. Work good for now.

  • My mouse can not click to anything left, right or the middle mouse button does not work

    I am using a 24 inch imac and the problem is suddenly my mouse can not click to anything left, right or the middle mouse button does not work i can see cursor moving and i can use the features of the keyboard but my mouse dies. I tried to plug in another mouse magic trackpad and my tablet but each has the same problem. I can not click to anything but cursor is moving and computer is not frozen. I have to shut it off from the power button when this happens. Do you have any idea what can cause this and how can i fix this?

    Reset the SMC 2-3 times. Click Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets for instructions.

  • Lenovo wireless mouse middle scroll button does not work

    lenovo bluetooth wire mouse works fine with click buttons but the middle scroll wheel does not work. scrolling with the wheel should move the browser screen up and down and it does not.
    click buttons work fine just the scroll wheel in the middle of the mouse

    I tried this setting (adding Firefox as an exception) and it had no effect :-(
    Mouse wheel still does not work with Firefox (but works with everything else).

  • Windows 8.1 - Upgrade from 8, Start Button Does Not Work

    I cannot find a fix for my 8.1 start button.
    It works when I move the task bar to the top, right or left but not at the bottom. I ran all windows updates and there are no missing/unknown drivers in device manager. No errors in the event log. I've restarted multiple times and created a new local profile.
    I've also tried: 
    Copy WinX folder under C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows into C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows.
    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
    Any ideas? I would prefer not to do a clean install. Thanks in advance. 
    HP Touchsmart 23 series
    i5-3475S 2.90GHz
    16GB RAM
    1TB HDD

    Could you please describe a little more detailed about “Start Button does not work”? What is the symptom?
    Yes, when the taskbar is at the bottom of the screen, I cannot left click on the start button. The machine is also a touch-screen, which does work when I touch the start button. If I move the task bar to the left, right or top; the start button does work.
    And what is the kind of the account, Domain? Local? Or both?
    This is local machine.
    It still doesn’t work in a new account?
    Same issue happens with a new account.
    What happens if you use win + "X"?
    Win + "X" works fine; displays options.
    Regarding to the “doesn’t work, both for screen touch and mouse?
    Left-click via the mouse does not work. Touch works fine.
    Can you try to copy the WinX folder from a working PC to your PC for a test?
    I do not have another Windows 8.1 machine available to me.

  • Back button does not work and homepage does not show on startup

    My back and forward buttons do not work anymore. they just show grey and I can not click on them.
    Also my home page does not show when i start firefox.
    I reinstalled firefox 4 and then went back to firefox 3.6.16 and have the same problem in both versions.
    Not sure what to do anymore
    I just found out that when I open a second window everything works fine in the second window, but it still does not work in the first window.
    When I close both windows the same thing happens. The first window my home page does not show up and the back button does not work, but the second window works normal. Including my home page.

    Yeah, I am having the same problem (with 4.0 and earlier versions). It is really frustrating to say the least. I never thought I'd say this, but I might have to go back to IE if FF is going to be this useless. I noticed that you have to right click (instead of left click like it works in the real world) on the backwards/forwards buttons, and that is no less frustrating since my mouses backwards/forwards buttons no longer work with this new asinine button set up.

  • I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

    I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Stuck on apple logo, lock button does not work

    Hi, I was wondering if someone can help me.
    I have an iPhone 5, and I intend to restore it in order to sell, but every time I try to turn it on, the battery life is low and in the red, and then it is stuck on the Apple logo for ages. My lock button does not work either so I can't actually turn it on properly, or do anything. I leave it plugged in the charger for hours, and it's still stuck on the Apple logo. And when I unplug and let it sit until it dies again, the process repeats...
    What is happening? What can I do?

    You can have it repaired or look up a guide and repair it yourself. The lock button needs to be replaced. It is essential at least for performing resets, like the one your phone needs right now. There may be an issue with the battery as well. I would not purchase an iPhone that did not have all its buttons working properly. The iPhone may not be draining enough to completely reset. Draining the battery this much might damage the battery as well. You probably need to do a reset by holding down the home button and a properly working lock button.

  • Froze on black screen and power button does not work

    my sons ipod touch is stuck on a black screen when plugged into the computer got a spinning wheel and will not connect now spinning wheel will not go away the power button does not work so can not reset it manually
    any suggestions would be appreciated

    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    Neglect the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode use one of thes programs
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Great tip Stephen!!
    I was so frustated from this issue that I used to use Windows iTunes for mass editing info, adding Lyrics etc and then transfering songs to Mac. This tip has alleviated my pain!!
    Thanks for the tip. This question should be tagged as answered.
