Next time I take my laptop with me! Took it back, they replaced with another and the other worked immediately! I was pleased not to have to choose a different sort. Thanks T. -- dorayme

And hopefully you'll become as fond of that mouse as I am of mine. -- James Leo Ryan --- Austin, Texas --- taliesinsoft(a)me.com

In my previous comment I somehow assumed that you were talking about the aluminum keyboard and not the bluetooth mouse, shame, shame on me for not reading the full message, only your most recent comments! I'm with you in that the little printed manual is exceedingly difficult to read! Have you turned on the mouse by holding down the Mode key, the silver button by the scroll wheel, until the side light turns green and blinks and then stays green for a few seconds. The Mode key has to be held down at least five seconds, possibly more, until the green light comes on. Once this is done the mouse should appear in the bluetooth options panel in system preferences. The mouse can be turned off by pressing on the Mode key for about ten seconds. Let me know if this helps. -- James Leo Ryan --- Austin, Texas --- taliesinsoft(a)me.com

I am almost an expert, how come it won't work on my Mac? <g> >Once this is done the mouse should appear in the bluetooth >options I wish! > panel in system preferences.

I have tried it with power to Macbook and not, with big LCD attached and not, in different rooms etc. The Mac cannot see it. The one thing I cannot test is if the mouse actually works (it might have no bluetooth in it for all I know)! Can you tell me what your Macbook is, what year, what OS and have you latest software update up on it? -- dorayme

Ummm...I haven't been following this thread since you went off on a Kensington tangent....but what, exactly, was the reason you decided against the Magic Mouse which, when coupled with MagicPrefs (http://magicprefs.com), would provide all the functionality you seemingly could possibly want? -- iMac (27", 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD) � OS X (10.6.3) |
