Wireless mouse working, exept for the tracker? help?

Ok I am on a macbook running OX 10.4.8 and I just got the new apple wireless mouse and keyboard. The keyboard works great but my mouse: every thing works on it except the tracker. I can use the scroll ball, right/left click, but I can not move the arrow on my screen with it?
Is there any way to fix this?

Hi alex:
It may be that the mouse is defective. Since it is new, call Applecare and indicate you have a warranty issue.

  • What is the best wireless mouse/keyboard combo for the Mac mini.

    Right now I'm using a Logitech k360 keyboard/mouse combo that works great on my pc but it's horrible on my Mac mini. I'm even debating whether I should return the Mac mini because I think something may be wrong with it. Also, my Mac mini is inside of my entertainment center which has a glass door on it, could this be part of the problem?

    This should be no issue whatsoever.  I have a very similar setup
    with the Mini inside and enternainment center w/glass doors.
    Just make sure there is enough room to have sufficient air flow
    around it.
    Is yours constucted out of wood or metal?
    ....I'm even debating whether I should return the Mac mini because I think something may be wrong with it.
    Are the keyboard mouse issues the only issue or is there
    something else in addition to that?
    What exatly do you mean by working horrible?  Just what is
    actually going on when you use them.  As I see on the website
    Logitech only specs Windows OSes, it could be a driver issue.
    Also, if this is the new Mini, do you have external USB3.0 drives
    connected to it?  There have been issues with Bluetooth, however
    the Logitech specs do not state that it is Bluetooth but could
    still be affected.

  • HT4356 I am trying to print wirelessly from my ipad to an epson stylus SX438W. The connection appears fine on both devices but the ipad cannot connect to the printer. It has been working fine for the past 4 months. Can anyone help?

    I am trying to print wirelessly from my ipad to an epson stylus SX438W. The connection appears fine on both devices but the ipad cannot connect to the printer. It has been working fine for the past 4 months. Can anyone help?

    Have you tried restarting the printer? Reboot the iPad as well.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • After update, keyboard and trackpad does not work on MBA but wireless mouse works. I don't use a wireless keyboard. Stuck at login because need to enter pw. Anyone have this issue? Please help!

    My Macbook Air (13", mid 2011) right after I did the Maverick OS update. My keyboard on Macbook Air is not working and it says "There isn't a keyboard connected" (Bluetooth Keyboard Setup). I do not use a wireless keyboard. Apparently my bluetooth works because my wireless mouse works. I am currently stuck at my login screen not being able to get in because I can't even enter my password. I am, however, able to login as guests and get to the Keyboard viewer to type things with my wireless mouse. I really need my keyboard to work to use for my job. I need help please!

    I forgot to mention that my power button did work but everything else, keyboard and trackpad, didn't! Anyway, I shutdown my laptop, slept, and turned it back (in hopes that it might work instead of restarting it like before). Now my keyboard and trackpad works! Thank goodness! I was about to go to the Apple store upset too! 

  • Does the hp mini wireless mouse work with a mac?

    Does the hp mini wireless mouse work with a mac?

    The only one that will work with OSX is the one you order with the Mac Pro from Apple. The others don't have the correct firmware for OSX.
    I've also noticed that the online store lets have an option for the QuadroFX 5800 to purchase with a Mac Pro
    No, it's the NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600. That is the only way to get it. NVIDIA does not sell it directly.

  • What are possible causes for frequent loss of wireless mouse connectivity other than the batteries ?

    What are possible causes for frequent loss of wireless mouse connectivity other than the batteries ?

    Wi-Fi or another interference source. Try turning off the Wi-Fi and see if the problems continue. If that solves the problem, see if you can set your Wi-Fi to run in the 5 GHz range.

  • My down and up arrow buttons for scrolling don't work except on the firefox help page, it worked fine with chrome?

    I had google chrome before I switched to firefox due to the obsessive popups on chrome. All of a sudden the up and down keys don't scroll up and down on web pages, the only one they work on is the firefox help page. Any thoughts?

  • 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.

  • MS USB wireless mouse working through Intellipoint at startup

    I use a Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 with my 2009 MBP running OSX Lion. I've installed Intellipoint 8.2 software. Problem: The MBP recognizes the mouse, but doesn't automatically start Intellipoint. I have to remove the USB receiver and plug it back in, and the mouse then works under Intellipoint software and settings. How can I get Lion to get the mouse working under Intellipoint on startup?

    Do you have a wired USB mouse to try?
    It seems to me that the drivers from the WIFI mouse is not of the correct version for the OS you are running on.
    You may want to google for the correct drivers as well.
    I have tried a wired usb mouse and that wont work either :(
    There are only 1 set of drivers for the wifi mouse I have, checked on the manufactures website and the driver version is the exact same one as I have on disk. The mouse worked on my other pc with the exact OS 
    A ps2 wireless mouse works but that mouse has no range :(

    Hi - I hope this helps. The problem may be hardware related in which case I can't help, but if not, try this.
    Right click and delete both of the yellow mouse HID drivers in device manager. Then do a normal shutdown and Restart with the keyboard using Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up Windows Task Manager.
    This should force the system to reinstall drivers when it next boots.
    You may find that a simple Scan for Hardware Changes also works after you have deleted the yellow drivers.
    Another trick is to try the mouse in other USB ports - sometimes the system just gets confused and sets the device to a particular port. If it is put in another port it often can't find the device.
    Good Luck
    I have tried the wireless mouse in every usb port, also uninstalling them in device manager - all had no effect :(

  • How do I get the apple wireless mouse open to replace the battery?

    How do I get the apple wireless mouse open to replace the battery?

    Thank you!  I am 71 also, and broke a fingernail trying to get the thing open, thought there must be a trick to it.  After many attempts, when I had your reply it opened right up.  I think Apple delights in making people look stupid.  Love the machines, but dislike the smooth surfaces with no obvious switches to run the machine itself.  Computer is still not "discovering" the mouse, so there may be some further problem to be resolved.  The whole setup worked fine until a few days ago when the computer started to lose the mouse now and then.  I thought probably the mouse needed batteries, as I just had replaced the contemporary batteries in the keyboard.
    I'm retired, too, in Portland, Oregon, USA, and write poetry (though not for advertising agencies), get lot of rejections and an acceptance about once a year.

  • I just recently installed mountain lion and an update for SMC firmware to install power nap. Everything is working except for the menu bar, the icons native to the system do not respond, and features like the clock and battery meter freeze.

    I just recently installed mountain lion and an update for SMC firmware to install power nap. Everything is working except for the menu bar, the icons native to the system do not respond, and features like the clock and battery meter freeze.
    When I mouse over the icons, the rainbow appears as if it was processing something. The problem is eliminated when I restart my computer but it comes back after a while.
    I guess I cant make a backup copy and restore the whole disk because the copy would be made with this error.
    Can anyone help me? Anyone with the same issue?

    Update: I was able to test out the HDMI adapter as well and the same issue occured.  I'm stumped.  10.8.1 maybe.

  • Date format is not working properly for Calender value help

    Hi Experts,
    We have two problems.
    1. We want to change the format of date displayed. We want format of dd-MMM-yy. For that we have created one Simple
    Type Dictionary Object with Displaying format dd-MMM-yy. It is working
    fine for the non editable UI. But once I apply the dictionary type
    object as data type for an input field, probem happens. Once the user
    choose a date from calender value help the value in the input field is
    coming like 01-011-12 not like 01-Jan-12.
    The date format is not changing from the calender. But if we set the
    display format of the dictionary object to MM-dd-yy or MM/dd/yy or
    dd/MM/yy or dd-MM-yy the format conversion from calender to input field
    is happening properly.
    The only problem once we put MMM in place of MM for the input field
    where user is selecting from a calender value help.
    2. We want to restrict users from entering the value manually for date input field. The user
    should be able only to enter value by selecting from calender value
    help.
    Please give suitable solution for these problems
    Thanks

    - Try another cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
