Wireless mouse does not work
my wireless mouse batteries formed buildup around them. Now my mouse does not work, is there a way to make it work after this happens?
When checking your mouse or keyboard batteries, assuming the mouse is paired.
Turn off the device.
Remove the batteries,
Thoroughly clean the terminals both inside the battery compartment and on the batteries themselves.
Replace or renew the batteries.
Turn on the device. You should get a steady green light if the devices are paired.
Click the mouse twice to activate it.
Whether you use regular or rechargeable batteries you should buy the best. Discounted or unbranded batteries are likely to give a depleted performance and may be of irregular size, often leading to connection problems. Apple’s own brand, Duracell, Energiser and appear to be the best.

Did you install the correct driver for your Windows version? Are you saying the mouse does not work in Windows after Windows is installed?

How can I access applications if the wireless mouse does NOT work?
I have a new iMac (Snow Leopard) which comes with a wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse. Just in case that the wireless mouse does not work, how can I navigate through applications and the screen?
Any advice will be welcome. Thanks and cheers, VeitGreat, it works.
Let me replicate:
Shift-Command-A (on the Desktop, (but how to get there?) to open Apps, e.g System Preferences;
Arrow keys to navigate within Apps;
Command-down arrow to open a specific app;
Arrows to move around, e.g. to Magic Mouse
Space to open Magic Mouse;
Tab to move between options and arrows to change these; and Tab back to the back icon.
Thanks a lot to both of you, much appreciated your help. Cheers, Veit -
Vivienne Tam wireless Mouse does not work.
My wife's Vivienne Tam wireless Mouse for HP Mini 210-1032VU does not work anymore, but the light at the scroll wheel keep flashing/flickering.
We tried changing the battery, but that did not help.
Any suggestions what the problem might be? The mouse is still under warranty.
Any help is very much appreciated.i have a disease in both hands. It causes a boney like process to grow in the palms of my hands causing my hands to draw up like a claw. Repeated operations for the rest of my life are happening. It is more and more difficult for me to hold a mouse of any kind.
So the vivienne tam mouse has a smaller rise. The microsoft a high rise mound that hits the nerves causing intense pain. The pain makes me break out into a sweat. Where can I find the correct vivienne tam driver? It used to be online. I understand vivienne tam hp driver was taken off the site. it got lost on my computer when the computer crashed. What can I do? how do I get that unique driver back. I alread wrote hp and microsoft online and no help. the driver is specific to the tam. I wonder how many other people have pain with this disease process. The logtech also has a high rise hill in the palm as well. Help anyone -
Wireless mouse does not work after installing new batteries
I have a PowerBook G4 and have been using a wireless mouse and keyboard. The batteries needed to be replaced in my mouse. I successfully installed new batteries. The mouse will turn on. The LED blinks. But the mouse is not functioning. I must use the finger pad on the machine. I double checked the battery installation and even set-up the mouse as a device again. When I turn the mouse off, I get a "connection" lost window on the screen. I have tried
clicking the mouse to re-establish connection with no luck.
Any suggestions?http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86468
I had the same problem today - go to the above URL and follw precisely the instructions - after you delete the current mouse settings from your bluetooth preferences - apparently you have to sometimes reinstall the mouse after changing batteries - however I changed them before and did not need to do this
hope this helps -
my bluetooth is off and I have a wireless mouse- i have turned mac off and disconnected all usb and then turn back on but wireless wont come on so how do I turn it back on (have no idea how it got turned off) without a wired mouse???
Hello:
According to Apple's documentation, you cannot turn Bluetooth off unless there is a USB device connected.
Do you have a wired keyboard? If so, you could try resetting the PRAM and SMC - although I do not think that would help.

My wireless mouse, keyboard and keypad for my iMac have all become unlinked for some reason. Just turned it on, no linkage. I do have a wired keyboard that I connected in order to sign on. Now I cannot choose system preferences and link my wireless devices without my mouse. What key strokes are used to choose the Apple, the system preferences in the dock, or some way to start the linking process?
First, make sure your batteries are fully charged; you can also use alkaline batteries if you want. When you insert the batteries, press the depressed button on the right side of your keyboard/wireless mouse; both should automatically "link" onto your computer via bluetooth connection.
Also, make sure the bluetooth devices are linked by going to System Preferences/Bluetooth, and make sure the "On" and "Discoverable" boxes are checked.
And please, post here if you've achieved success. -
Wireless mouse does not work in Windows XP (Boot Camp)
Is there a way to get my wireless (Bluetooth) mouse to work under Windows XP? It is the mouse that came with my Mac Pro.
I managed to install Windows XP Professional and the Boot Camp drivers w/o a mouse. But now that XP is running fine I still have no mouse. Tried the Control Panel > Bluetooth > Detect Devices (can't remember exact wording), but no Bluetooth device was detected.
Yes I read the Boot Camp installation guide but hope that the USB mouse requirement was only for the installation part and that there is a way to make the mouse work after the Boot Camp drivers are installed.
Many thanks for your help.
OlafMost untrue works just fine under Windows actually ,however you do need to repair with windows .AND only after OSx pairing complete AND the Boot camp drivers are installed in Windows.
It uses a special profile to allow pairing in what is in essence two differing computers !
Having said that to get the mighty mouse to pair under windows can take a bit of effort.
When if finds the mouse and asks for a pairing password try either none or 0000! -

Is there a fix or upgrade to deal with the many problems I am experiencing since I installed Lion? I can no longer utilize Time Machine (Does not see the back-up drive); my wireless mouse does not work properly; my iMac has slowed down considerably. I am reminded of having a PC machine again. Bummer!
Either downgrade to Snow Leopard or try reinstalling Lion.
Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files. -
I am currently running Firefox 7.0.1 and have not had many problems until today. I have noticed that my wireless mouse will not work at the top of any website. This means I cannot log into many sites. I have also noticed that during page downloads, I have to move the mouse in order for the page to load or it just pauses. Any help would be appreciated!
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
*Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Wrt610n wireless network does not work after firmeware upgrade
Hi
I just updated my Wrt610n hardware version 1 to the newest firmware, it did finish with sucess, I did factory reset reboot and reconfig. But the wireless network does not work , cant connect computers to it. Did downgrade the firmware to the same it was and restore my settings but still wireless does not work. But router works fine with lan. Any suggestions? maybe the firmware tosted the router?
Regards
StefanUpdate -
After last reset and reupgrade with the newest firmware for hardware version 1 I could config the router and connect 2 computers with wireless - but only for about 15 mín - then they lost connection and could not reconnect.
I did then get the newest update for hardeware version 2 - just to try and upgraded with that and got success, and now I have reset the router again and config it and those 2 computers are connected and have been for 1 hour now. So seems to be working - is it okay to have the firmware for hardware version 2 on my version 1 router?
Any thought what is going on - could it be that the other firmware had not loaded compleytle or? -
Wireless net does not work after installing SP1 for Vista - Error code 10
After installing Vista SP1 on my computer (T61 - Vista Business 32 bit) my intel 82566mm wireless net does not work.
Windows says "Error code 10" and suggests that I update the driver. I have downloaded the newest driver via another computer, but it does not help. Still error code 10.
Any one else has the same problem?I fixed the problem. Uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it clean. Looks like upgrading is problematic.

my wireless mouse is not working at all. I have changed the batteries and still nothing, not even a flashing green light. I am using someone else's computer to ask these questions as I now can't use mine. Help!!!
I just had the same problem. And I found the solution, on Youtube.
The problem is that these ******** at apple designed the battery compartement, the distance between metal contacts too big.
That means the batteries plus or minus poles are not touching the corresponding contacts in the mouses battery compartement.
Most likely the battery doesn't get pushed up to touch the plus contacts.
I used a fingernail to push the battery up and tadaa, the green LED came on.
The guy in the Youtube video just put some folded aluminium foil under the minus poles for bridging the gap.
See here, "How to fix the Apple Magic Mouse!":

Hope this helps.

You can also try to move (delete) the Firefox plist file.<br />
See [http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060606082246983 How .plist files become corrupt and troubleshooting the results]
Go to "Library > Preferences" and remove the plist file for Firefox (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).
