why mice with Nanotransceptor not work right with the macbook pro?

Pardon?

AussieDJ's awake. What is it, 9-10-11:00 in the morning over there?

Anyway, translation:

"I have a mouse that uses a USB transceiver. Whenever I use a certain application (or maybe something else), it interferes with my mouse's reception unless I plug the transciever in the left side of my MBP. What's up with that?"

Ok, now you have to supply the answer. 😉

That made me laugh so hard.

11:30 Actually.

I'm not actually sure on this one. I've had a looksy, and both the airport & bluetooth antenae's on a MBP that would even have USB on the right side, are mounted on the left side.

I could only suggest that he try plugging in another USB device, and see if it stops working when using the same applications.

Or, perhaps the USB dongle does not have ESD protection(Wild uneducated guess).

2 Questions: Is the OP left handed? What model is the MBP?

OK, I think we give him/her a pre-unibody model, because it sounds like there are USB ports on both sides. So let's say an early 2008 15" 2.4GHz. And it doesn't sound like s/he really wants the mouse around the left side, so I'm thinkin' right handed. So there you go. All you gotta do is connect the dots. You better have this thing solved by the time s/he gets back here or I dunno what's gonna happen. 😉

To tjk :

Apple should hire you as a post translator! 😝 I was a little bit lost too... LOL... 😊

I'm going to say it's the backup battery / connector.

If I'm right, I should at least get an ice cream.

You get cake & a cherry 😀

Yuk..

I think the problem is the power outputs on the left usb's vs the right usb's are different...

tjk translation please! 😝

Have you installed the latest version of Microsoft IntelliPoint software for the mac?

Could you also tell us the model number?

Thanks! 😉

I'm always a little bit lost, some times more than a little. 😉

I have a mouse that uses a USB transceiver (right MBP 13" - 2011 new). Whenever I use a certain application (or maybe something else)(all application, mail, office, finder, etc).

Interference occurs with the mouse is on the opposite side of the transceiver (microsoft Nanotransceptor).

Does not have USB on the right side and I use the right hand.

Sorry for not speaking English very well.

Ok, you have a 2011 13" MBP and it has all of the ports on the left side.

So you have to plug the transceiver for the mouse in on the left side.

But you are right handed, so you use the mouse on the right side of the MBP.

Because the transceiver is on the left side, sometimes it does not keep its connection with the mouse on the right side.

Two potential solutions:

1. Get a USB extention cable, plug the transceiver into it, and bring it around to the right side of the MBP. (like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001TH7GV4/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_3?pf_rd_p=486539 851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00001ZWXA&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DE R&pf_rd_r=1E327QX419V53B77SGPE)

2. Get a Bluetooth mouse so it can use the transceiver built in to your MBP.

Yes?
