My wireless Apple mouse has ghosts

[glinda]

because it is now very touchy and will page forward or back or just be nutso in general. My settings are okay I think so what does these mean and can I fix it?

1. Turn it off

Take the batteries out, wait 30 seconds or so, reassemble, reconnect and see it that makes a difference.

That's all I got.

2. I had three wired Apple mice that did that.

That's when I realized I didn't need Apple.

I bought a Logitech wireless mouse and have had no problems.

4. That's what I use with my MacBookPro.

3. You can try cleaning the little ball.

That seems to be where the problem is. That used to work, for a while anyway.

My mice would short out. You could actually hear it crackle when it was plugged in.

6. I had a great pyre that loved chewing on my mouse.

I cannot recall how many I had to replace. That, and TV remotes.
My new dog prefers a different type of mouse, the one that squeaks. She thinks catching them and leaving them on my lap is a show of love.

5. sounds like time to clean it

and reinstall the batteries.

7. Thanks! I will try them all except feeding it to my dogs!

8. I use a tiny little wired Microsoft notebook optical mouse

they last for years. I had to buy my 2nd one off ebay because they don't sell them locally anymore. Best thing Microsoft ever put out.
