    I just bought a wireless mightymouse. I like it.

    It can't seem to make it auto detect at start up though, I have to open bluetooth and hit 'browse device' every time. what gives? :confused:

    I am a total muppet.

    You have to set bluetooth to 'Discoverable'

    Thank you, good night :cool:

    lol!! silly. I was gonna ask you if you used new or old batteries, cause maybe the batteries didn't have enough juice and the mouse was sort of resetting itself. But I guess you solved your issue :p

    Of course. Well done! Sorry I wasn't initially of more help.

    The mouse of my MBP used to be a bit stupid at times - it worked without the drivers it came with but you had to unplug it and replug it in sometimes - putting the disk in that it came with sorted that though - it's a USB mouse though.

    BTW - Nice site... I really like the pictures.

    well I'm a civil servant in the field of environmental protection :)

    now then, this mouse isn't auto detecting after all! It auto detected after one reboot so I thought all was well, but this morning, no dice, I had to go and browse for it manually.

    anyone else with a MBP and a mighty mouse can shed some light?
