Hardware :: Changing Mouse Buttons On Microsoft Mouse?
Jul 13, 2009I have a Microsoft Intelli Mouse( Link ) and it has 4 buttons. How do I change what the side buttons do? Under System Pred > Keyboard and mouse, the only options are to which side is Primary, and Zoom scrolling. All I want to do is set it so the left and right side buttons go forward and back in explorer, instead of scrolling

Mar 19, 2010I've had a 27in i7 for a few weeks now and it's been working great. Just the other day, I set up a second user account on the machine for my wife. After messing with some of the preferences under the new profile, I realised that the mouse wouldn't "right-click" at all in that user account. I go into Preferences>Mouse and check the secondary click box, but this has no effect. When I close Preferences and open again, the box is un-checked. This problem is only in the new user account. My own, original administrator account has no such problem - right-click is working fine.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHardware :: Getting The Most Mouse Buttons?
May 19, 2008getting the MOST mouse buttons? Logitech seems to have the most that I've found, and I already know about:
- MX Revolution (don't like the battery situation)
- G5 and MX-518 (too few buttons)
Any other recommendations?
I'm planning a keyboardless Quake Wars setup, and what I have in mind requires 13 mouse "buttons"--but I do include scroll directions in that total. The Revolution has exactly 13 functions. I'd prefer corded, but the G5 has only 9 (+/- can't be configured) functions and the MX-518* has only 10 of that. (Saitek Cyborg has 11 or 12 buttons, since I do count the 4-way hat, but Mac support is questionable.)
Driver support doesn't worry me--I'll use ControllerMate, and will check with their forums before I buy.
Accuracy is important, but most high-end mice seem to have good tracking anyway.
*Some sites say the Logitech MX 518 has horizontal scroll. But in pictures it has no arrows next to the wheel, so I'm suspicious. Can the 518's wheel be tilted left/right?
OS X :: Can I Use Non-apple Mouse With More Than 2 Buttons?
Jun 14, 2009When I plug in the apple mouse and go to mouse settings it lets me configure not only the two clickers, but all the extra buttons on my mighty mouse. However, I hate the mighty mouse scroller, so I want to switch to a new mouse. However, when I plug in the new mouse it only lets me right click, left click and scroll. My other mouse has 2 extra buttons I want to configure to open quicksilver and Expose all windows (like I had setup with my apple mouse). Can I do this with a non-apple mouse?
View 3 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Both Mouse Buttons Are Right-click?
Nov 4, 2009So I just installed USB Overdrive on my 10.6.1 iMac 2.66, and one of the buttons was conflicting; I thought it might be an issue with Apple's official mouse & keyboard prefs. So I went in, and I accidentally switched the right click/left click, and now I cannot click on ANYTHING because both buttons are right-click. I tried restarting in the hopes that USB Overdrive would override the system prefs, but no dice. Is there any way I can manipulate system prefs without the use of clicking?
I also tried hooking up another mouse to no avail, and sticky keys are off.
OS X :: MOuse Buttons - Change There Function?
Apr 26, 2009I got a Logitech G5 Refresh mouse, and have had it for allmost 2 years now. I'm a windows man that has just turned in to OS X about 14 days ago, s� still have a very lot to learn..
But the thing is, that i was used to - in Windows, that i could browse forward and backwards with the 2 buttons placed close to my thumb on the mouse, instead of the browser/applications forward and backwards buttons..
Is there a way to do so in OS X? I've looked in Preferences, but i did'nt really find anything useful..
IMac :: All Buttons Working But Mouse Does Not Track?
Oct 26, 2010I Seem to have a problem recently on my 27" iMac with the razer Naga Gaming Mouse. I installed all drivers from RazerZone. Each time I start my iMac my razer naga doesn't track, all the mouse buttons work but it just doesn't track, its really weird because I have been using this mouse for a month now and never got this problem until I think I started to put my IMac to sleep.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHardware :: Mighty Mouse Buttons Not Customizable?
Jan 1, 2009I received a wireless Mighty Mouse for Christmas, and just today I decided to try customizing the buttons. I open up Mouse Preferences, and when I try to change the function of any button, it doesn't work. I can click the drop down menu to change button 3 or button 4 to Spaces, or one of the expose functions, but when I use the buttons, they still do (what I assume are) the default functions -- button 4 allows me to go back in my browser, and button 3 (the ball) allows me to move the mouse to scroll the page. The only button I can change the function of is the default secondary button -- I can make this button do anything I want, but not the others, including the primary button.

Hardware :: Magic Mouse Buttons Do Weird Things?
Sep 3, 2010just now my magic mouse went wild. When I switch it on and it automatically connects to my macbook air it acts as though the left button is clicked all the time. That means whenever I move my mouse it looks like that: [URL]
(I DID look and the mouse button is not jammed or anything). However interestingly the same happens when I use my touchpad. Whenever the mouse is connected and I try clicking on my touchpad it does not work. Really as though the left button was clicked. When I disconnect the mouse all is fine again. I tried restarting the laptop and putting out the batteries of the mouse. Nothing worked so far.
Hardware :: Mouse Buttons Suddenly Stop Working?
Nov 13, 2010For a while now I've had a recurring problem that I can't figure out. The buttons on my mouse will suddenly stop working; I can move the cursor around the screen, but the mouse buttons (all of them, plus the scrollball) do nothing.
It's not a problem with the mouse (so it might not belong in this forum), because I've tried other mice and had the same behaviour. I don't know if there's a pattern, but I think I've only had the problem since I've started running the new Football Manager 2011 game.

IMac :: Unable To Use TV As Secondary Monitor / Switch Between Primary And Secondary Display?
Feb 2, 2009we are trying to hook up our TV as a secondary monitor (for hulu, netflix, etc) but it defaults as the primary monitor. We would like to keep the imac as the primary monitor, and have the TV as a secondary, but cannot figure out how to do it! The only way we can get the imac back to primary status is if we use mirror mode. Once we take it off mirror mode, the TV becomes the primary monitor again, and there appears to be no way of switching it in OSX display preferences.
I've done similar hookups with my laptop, and the TV defaults as the secondary monitor. Why isn't this happening with our iMac? Any ideas?

Power Mac G5 :: Different OS On Secondary Hard Drive?
Nov 29, 2007Have successfully installed a Seagate Barracuda 160GB internal HD (2nd HD) and it's icon is mounted on the desktop. I used Disc Utility to format the drive (Mac OS Extended-Journal), but was unable to install Tiger because of a faulty install DVD (I think). I tried the Panther install DVD's that came with the G5, but am unable to open the the first DVD of that set either (get the grey screen with no wheel, with strange color lines).
More importantly, the drive somehow has a complete duplicate of my other drive. Everything! Also, it updates with things that that I download or add to my Panther drive. How is this, if I did an erase and format using Utility? I'd like to use this 2nd HD as a backup HD (if I can ever get an install DVD to open). Why doesn't the 2nd HD show in the Start up Disc Window? How do I successfully erase it and format this 2nd HD? How would I run a different OS on this 2nd HD?
Information:
G5 dual 2.0GHz
Mac OS X (10.3.x)

View 2 Replies View RelatedMac Pro :: Slow Animations On Secondary Screens?
Oct 29, 2010Time to get rid of the stuttering window animations of my Mac Pro. Both my additional displays (Dell 2007FP) show very slow window animations, watching videos also lags.
The centre display (30" ACD) is perfectly fine. The displays themselves are not the problem, I've tested them with my laptop and they are fine there.
I also tested all graphics cards configurations possible:
- only a single graphics card with one or two displays connected
- 30" to 4870, 1 20" to 4870, 1 20" to GT120
- 30" to 4870, both 20"s to GT120
The latter is what is running now (and what I'd like to keep it).
I really don't have any clue what might cause the lag.
Did anything change in OS X?
I never had this kind of problem with previous display setups. Everything was perfectly lag free.
OS X :: Spaces And Secondary Display Disappears
Nov 17, 2008I use spaces with a projector as my secondary display for meetings at work. Any time I use the birds eye to view all of my spaces, my secondary display disappears, making it obvious that I'm tinkering around in spaces. Is there anyway to keep the secondary display stationary (IE not blacking out when I use the bird's eye view)? My goal is to keep my secondary display's desktop up at all times. I know you can press +tab to switch between apps, but is there anyway to tweak this in spaces so that the secondary display's desktop remains omnipresent? it does the same thing when you use the birds eye view in expose too. it would really help from being distracting when I use this feature for meetings at work. This way my secondary desktop could just serve as a digital banner that's always up.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMac Pro :: Two Displays - Secondary Wake Up Before Primary
Apr 13, 2009I have a 2.26 MP with the ATI card. My primary display is an HP 2475w, my secondary is some Samsung 19 inch widescreen. I love the HP display, but it seems to be slow waking from standby. Slow enough that every once in a while after waking my MP from sleep, the Samsung becomes the primary display. This is a huge annoyance because it moves and resizes all of my windows to fit on the smaller Samsung. Maybe I could somehow tell OS X to never ever use the Samsung as the primary display, and instead wait for the HP to come up?

OS X :: Switching Between Primary And Secondary Displays
Aug 15, 2009I have a Macbook which is setup with an external display. At the moment the external display is set to "the primary" screen and the Macbook the second. I know in order to change the Macbook screen to the "primary" screen I have to go to System Preferences >> Displays >> Arrangements. But is there a way of automating the process so I can easily switch between the two (say with a icon in the dock). I have had a look through Automator, but nothing seems to fit the bill.
