Q: wireless iMac lab - mouse assignment

We have a brand new wireless lab of iMacs (newest iteration). We are having problems with the mice attaching to multiple desktops. How do we restrict a mouse and keyboard to just one desktop ??

Thanks

G5, iMac, eMacs, Mac OS X (10.3.3), running Classic also for old Adobe software.

USB mice and keyboards would be less problematic.

Indeed they would; however, we are a school district and this is what was purchased (no, we didn't have much input other than iMac) and so we have to adapt. I am starting to think about lead lined carrels but figure there has to be an easier way to sync peripherals to just one motherboard. Anybody know of a way?

Ask Apple. They're the ones pushing polluting the airways with EMR/EMI and the wireless stuff. Alternatively, complain to the district buyers and let them get a reasonable response from their Apple reps.

These might help:
