Wireless Mouse for iBook
Has anyone found a good wireless mouse for the iBook?
Thanks
I presume you mean the 600 Mhz iBook G3 in your profile. That particular Mac did not come with built-in bluetooth, but numerous USB to Bluetooth adapters are available, including a few from the Apple Store. That and Apple's Wireless Mighty Mouse would be a good combination.
Careful with Logitech mice, as their driver software does not always keep up to date with operating system updates. You can usually overcome this with software called Steer Mouse or another called USB Overdrive when those get updated, which is usually more frequently.

Pls recommend wireless mouse for iBook
I have an iBook with Bluetooth built in, and would like to get a cordless mouse to use with it. Can anyone recommend one? I would like one with the ability to right click, and am told that the Apple model is poor. Any suggestions much appreciated.
I have been using the Kensington "Pilot Mouse Mini Bluetooth" Model #72414 for about two months. I love it. Have never had to change the batteries (2 AA cells). Three buttons and a scrollwheel. Very happy with it. I have used it on a iBook Late 2004 and an iBook Mid 2005.

My wireless mouse for imac keeps loosing connection. Started after I was having truoble with computor not waking up and I put the setting to "never sleep". Any suggestions?
If it's an Apple mouse, make it "Favorite" in Bluetooth preferences.
If it's not, the same thing might help, too, but if the problem continues it could be a driver issue (possible incompatibility with your OS X version). -
Can I use Apple's wireless mouse on the Ipad 2? I have connected my wireless bluetooth keyboard to my Ipad. I am not too sure whether Apple's wireless mouse can also be connected to the Ipad 2 as this will empower me to use the Ipad as a mini laptop.

Meg, I think we're arguing over semantics here! Cursor/insertion point - call it what you want. It's still the same thing in documents, etc.
I wasn't trying to say that mouse control would be a good thing. Why anyone would want to use a mouse on the iPad is beyond me, but each to his own, I guess.
It's not entirely semantics. The point is +there is no cursor+ for the mouse to control, even in text entry. There is an insertion point but, it's not the same thing. Most folks probably aren't going to see why the difference matters. What they want is to be able to control the insertion point with a mouse. Which is beyond me as well. -

I've just recently put in brand new batteries into my wireless Bluetooth mouse for iMac and it continuously disconnects itself and will then reconnect itself for only a few minutes, just to disconnect again. It's become impossible to use my computer as my mouse smoky won't connect itself for long enough to do anything. Anyone had this problem before and could help me out?
HI:
It does not sound like a battery problem.
Try a couple of things:
1. Reset the SMC

2. Reset (if you can) the PRAM

If that does not help, delete the mouse in system preferences, turn it off, restart, and turn the mouse back on.

P.S. I only needed it once, but I have an old USB mouse in case my Bluetooth one decides to quit. -
Best Wireless Mouse for iMac?
I like my Mighty Mouse, but I think its time to upgrade to a wireless mouse and I don't think the Mighty Mouse fits the bill.
I use iMovie and iPhoto a lot, and casual gamer (currently playing World of Goo - which is awesome BTW).
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Mahalo nui loa!I did not get along well with Apple mice. I use Logitech mice--there are many different models available. In order to get full functionality with such mice, you need a program which provides the drivers beyond those that Apple provides. I use a program called 'Steer Mouse'. It works very well--no need to even install Logitech drivers.

Can anyone recommend a mouse I could buy for my iBook? I have arthritis and it's getting so bad that I have a hard time using the trackpad. On my desktop Mac I use a Kensington Trackball, which is great for my condition, but doesn't work with an Ibook. Thanks in advance.
Anne,
Check out Apple's new Mighty Mouse.

Wireless mouse recommendations?
I just got a Logitech mini wireless mouse for my mother's clamshell iBook, after a few frustrating minutes I realized that the usb plug was way too big. I'm going to have to take it back to the store tomorrow. So do any of you know of a good usb wireless plug that actually fits?
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum. I solved similiar problem with a USB flash memory from Kingston that didn't fit; due to molded case design of iBook, with a 3" USB cable. This is cheap, easy to carry, and works in a pinch when required for any other USB device you may need to adapt. See for example: http://www.pccables.com/cgi-bin/orders6.cgi?action=Showitem&id=ID138371&partno=7 0615&search=USB&rsite=g.usb2&rcode=
If Mom does not travel with the iBook a Hub as above would also work.
If you shop around you can find another Mouse with a more standard connector that will fit directly. I use a three button one from Macally that fits fine ( no adaptor) and requires no software to run in OS 10.

Apple Wireless Mouse - No Longer Pairs with Mac Mini?
Hi there,
I've had an Apple Wireless Keyboard and an Apple Wireless Mouse for several months. Unfortunately, the Apple Wireless Mouse no longer pairs with the Mac Mini (Core Duo, 1.66) -- it is getting very frustrating.
I've tried rebooting the machine, restarting the mouse, and nothing works. Sometimes I get the Bluetooth Setup Assistant which says that it found 1 Mouse, but it failed to pair.
I replaced the batteries, but nothing changes.
Help!Normally that's caused by debris under the trackball preventing the rollers from moving. Turn the mouse upside down and rub the trackball Vigorously with a microfiber cloth.
The symptoms are usually that scroll will work one direction but not the other.

Why is my boot camp setup stuck at Apple Wireless Mouse?
Well I finally got Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro and when I try to put Bootcamp on the Windows side it gets stuck at the instalation. It's been on Apple Wireless Mouse for a good bit now. Did I mess up somehow?
The wireless mice you're buying.... are they 2.4GHz wireless ones (the ones that come with their own micro-dongle) or Bluetooth? If they're the 2.4GHz wireless ones, go buy yourself a good bluetooth one. Your Mac has bluetooth in it and can connect to one of these mice without the need to use the dongle that comes with them. I've seen a quite a bit of issues (jerky movement due to low battery too far away or other movement problems) with the non-bluetooth wireless ones.
Also, be aware that if the mice you're using are laser based, the movement will be laggy and jerky if they're not used on the proper surface. Only the more expensive ones have better laser systems in them that can be used on multiple surfaces, but still not all. -

Which Bluetooth mouse for iPad would that be? -
I'm on a steep learning curve with the T431s. I am not able to "connect" the laser wireless mouse for use. What is the easiest installation method for the wireless mouse, that I may properly use it with the T431s? New machine and batteries.
Thank you....Thanks for the response.

I do that regularly.
(But I fail to see how that should help with a bluetooth connection issue ...)
When you have Bluetooth connection issues, try re-pairing the hardware using the Bluetooth Setup Assistant.
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I did that at least twice, to no avail.
When there is a that "hickup" I've described, then Bluetooth Setup Assistant does not find the mouse at all. Power cycling the mouse does not help. Disabling bluetooth on the laptop and enabling it again does not help.
