Would this mouse work well on my iMac?

http://www.amazon.com/OEM-Microsoft-Intellimouse-5-Button-Optical/dp/B000BSHJYQ/ ref=sr11?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1240008004&sr=8-1
I'm looking for a new mouse to replace my Mighty Mouse. I'm just so tired of how the scroll wheel/ball ALWAYS stops working after a while, on all of them. I saw this 5-button mouse on Amazon and was wondering if it will work the same way my Mighty Mouse currently works (Exposé, Application Switcher, Dashboard, etc.) by pressing the buttons?

I have that mouse and it works fine on a Mac. If you want to use the two extra buttons (on the side), you will have to install Microsoft's driver software (which you configure through a special System Preferences pane). If you just want to use left and right buttons, plus the scroll wheel, and adjust the usual sensitivity settings, the built-in Apple mouse driver works fine.
Right now I use an even plainer Microsoft mouse

with Apple's mouse driver. But I used that model you linked to previously.
Odd tip: This worked with my current MS mouse. You can't set the center-click (clicking down on the scroll wheel) using the Apple mouse driver. But if you connect the Apple Mighty Mouse and set the center-click to do something (I have mine set to do Exposé ), and you then switch to the Microsoft mouse, the setting for the center-click still works (even though you cannot change it).

Will the magic mouse work well with my iMac G5?

I was wondering before i buy the Magic mouse cause my mighty mouse is getting old, if it will work with my iMac?
i did upgrade to leopard so i was wondering if it will work?
thanks!

Based on the system requirements, on the product listing page at the Apple Store
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB829LL/A
it will work. Scrolling works with Leopard. +Momentum Scrolling+ makes the scroll continue a bit after you stop the motion with your finger, like the action has "momentum." Snow Leopard is required for that feature to work.

Please, i bought a new track pad for my imac. it is working well when my imac is on. But, anytime i off my imac and wish to on it again, My track pad will be connected but it doesn't click i will need a mouse to log in my password first . Any help?

To be specific. I have the imac late 2013 model, and i just bought the trackpad this October 2014. I have been using magic mouse without any problem. I just want to have a new experience with the trackpad. Any time i on my imac, i will have a normal screen with my picture and a guest column at the center. I need to click either my picture or the guest in order to have the space where i can key in my password with the keyboard. But unfortunately, my trackpad will show that it is connected and the cursor will be moving in front of the screen if i touch the trackpad, but if i try to click, i will get no response. I have to put back batteries inside my magic mouse and then click on my picture if i want to log in with my id or i click on the guest image if i want to log in as a guest. it is only after this that my trackpad will start responding.
i want to use only trackpad for now so as to be more efficient with it. I don't want to be putting back batteries inside the magic mouse only to on my imac. I need a solution please.
Thanks.

It sounds like you have assigned the primary click on the trackpad to something else, perhaps a gesture.
Use your mouse, login and then open the Trackpad preference pane and see how you have the interface configured.
Oh and you can have both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad powered up and working at the same time. No need to keep moving batteries around.

What do you mean it did not work! What were the results of the diagnostic tests?
Have you contacted your ISP to determine if the problem is on their end?
Have you changed your router channel? Sometimes this resolves wireless problems.

I have a new Airport Extreme that works well with my IMac but is intermittent with our Windows 7 PC. Any ideas?

Thanks planb77. Your instructions worked but I had to do a little more than you stated. I did not realize that transferring files to a new computer was not enough. When the iPod synced I was told I needed to "authorize" my new computer to get my iTunes purchases to sync to the iPod. So after the initial sync, I ejected and disconnected the iPod, went into the iTunes store, set up "home sharing" and then authorized the new computer. When that was done I reconnected the iPod and was able to sync all my books and music. The only thing I couldn't do was rename the iPod as iTunes never asked me to. Is there a way to rename it after it has been set by iTunes as "owner's iPod"?

I burned an edited movie to disc using H.264 codec and a second movie to MPEG -4 Video both worked well on my iMac but will not play on my Sony DVD Recorder/Player which accepts both DVD RW and DVD-RW. Any suggestions?

I burned an edited movie to disc using H.264 codec and a second movie using MPEG-4 Video. Both played well on my iMac but would not play on my Sony DVD Recorder/Player which accepts both DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs. I have tried other 'codecs' DV-PAL; DVCPRO-PAL; DVCPRO50-PAL; AIC; and finally share to iDVD. iDVD works on both my iMac and DVD Recorder but the picture is very poor with major shimmering which is unwatchable. Can anyone assist? The other codecs I used either do not pay on my video recorder or fail when I play them back on my iMac. I am at a loss as to what I can do. I am from the UK so using PAL is essential.

If the source video is interlaced, you may have problems using iMovie. It de-interlaces everything on output which can cause picture to look strange. Final Cut Pro X supports interlaced video, but it costs a lot more.
Standard DVD Players don't support H.264 or MPEG4. You might want to look at this article on transferring HD video to DVD. I wrote this article mainly for Final Cut Pro, but many of the same principles apply.

Will this new computer work a LOT better than the machine I currently have? Will it be a worthwhile upgrade? Will my video card work well for my intended purposes in Premiere?

Go to the CS5 Benchmark http://ppbm5.com/ and review the results
To allow for future expansion (more ram and added hard drives) my PERSONAL choice would be a larger power supply

Can anyone recommend a printer that works well with the IMAC?

I am new to the Mac world and bought an IMAC with Iphoto08. My main reason was for printing photos and using the great graphics of an IMAC. But, I have no printer as of yet because I don't know which printer would work best with the IMAC. Please helppppppp

Nikki,
click on this Epson link:
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/consumer/consDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oi d=63059194
The 88+ is a very good inexpensive printer ..... it is temporarily "out of stock", but press the "Notify Me" button on the web page. You will also need a printer cable sold separately, but which Epson lists when you are able to order the printer.
Also check their ink jet photo-type print papers. (I do not work for Epson .... but I've used their products for years and never had any problems). I know of two instances where the printers were duds, but Customer Service replaced them without a hassle.

How would this monitor work . . .

I'm looking for the least expensive monitor to work well with the Mac Mini: how would the Acer X171s, 17" LCD work, do you think?

Okay . . . now I see why I haven't gotten many replies on this one: poorly worded question. Really what I'm wondering is how well a monitor like that would perform. I get the sense that folks are buying monitors that cost from $300 on up--Apple's being almost $600, I think. So, I'm just wondering what kind of performance issues might arise from using a less expensive monitor (this one is about $180) with the Mac Mini. Thanks for the info. about plug-and-play, though . . . that will help, if the monitor itself is worth it.

Late 2012 mac mini ram would 1 8gig work well in this mini

i know these are best in pairs if dual channel and or not mixed in size. So i think a single one should work. I also know that if the timmings are the same it should not matter if the size are the same. I'm i right on this or am i missing something here. some feed back on this would be great. ?

If both banks have the same capacity modules then the Mini will use duel-channel mode which is faster than if only one slot is used or if two different capacity modules are used in the slots
