Magic Mouse

Had the same issue with bad support once they get their money from the guy i bought Macbook from , also had to beg for information.

Once they get our money they stop caring.
 
I have to ask, why you guys would choose the Magic Mouse over the trackpad?

I am sort of regretting spending so much cash on a mouse but I have used one so didn't go into buying one blind at least.

We'll see when it arrives , hopefully no affirmative shopping takes place at PO.

For me the normal things I do on a track pad can be done with the mouse. Easier and faster, too. I love the MM. :D

But then why not stick with the trackpad? It has a bigger footprint, does the gestures better (from the limited time that I have used the magic mouse) and is more intuitive than a mouse. Costs less, too.

Bleh, perhaps that's just me. I really did not like the MM when I had the chance to use it, but absolutely adore the Apple trackpad. The only reason that I do not have one is the driver support in Linux.

Don't get me wrong - I love the trackpad. In fact, I'd say its of the best in the world. However, when I am coding - the mouse works a little better for me - same for browsing the www. I do use the trackpad / MM together. Its not a either or situation for me.
 
Yay , the found my MM at post office, sent guy to collect.

Often it's not interference but battery contact that is the problem, especially when using rechargeable batteries.

Fold a piece of paper between the two batteries and over the tops of them so they sit nice and snug when you put the bottom plate back on.

I usually have the opposite problem, that rechargeable are always a bit fatter than standard alkalines.

If I were going to use a mouse I wouldn't use Apple's. It is horrible.
 
The MM is a little too flat for my liking. Its functionality though is brilliant.
The buggers chew batteries though.
 
Hope this is the right thread to ask this question in, but we have two active MM in our office, pairing with two macs, one iMac (mine which came with an MM) and one Macbook Pro(my manager), which pairs with it, but sometimes with difficulty. We do get tech support in once a month from the guys at Digicape, but time and time again my managers mouse will try to pair with whichever Mac is on, except his laptop which is also on.

Aside from the possibility that his mouse is just Bluetooth nympho, what could be causing this? This morning, for instance, I had to reject the pairing from my side, twice before his machine would latch on to it, when I arrived he was already paired with me (meaning the mouse was... with my mac) and I had to errr, disconnect. Could the problem be with his Macbook pro instead of the mouse?

Pardon, please, all my little improper innuendos. Cape Town is burning and it's a Monday, I just need a little bit of fun to start up my morning.

Hi

Make sure that the mouse if off when the Mac is not in use.

What you can also do is select the mouse on the bluetooth panel in the taskbar above.

When the mouse is not connected and you click the button is starts "connecting" automatically to whatever computer is nearest.

Okay, my manager says the mouse is off during the night and when he gets in he turns on his Macbook before turning on the mouse, he logs in before doing that. It seems this started after the tech support guy was here, he was actually a week early. Could he have done something, change some setting perhaps?

This morning there was a bit of a lag, but the mouse seemed to be picked up fine by his laptop, so probably the problem is solved, but here stuff like this happens, dies down for a day or two and then suddenly one of the machines conks up.
 
My original Apple mouse stopped working, so I got a R90 regular bluetooth mouse which is fine

I made a post about my problem regard that. My bluetooth mouse does not work very well with my Mac. Still have no idea why and still have not wound a solution regarding the problem.
