This is my first mac. Why do I always have to start by pushing button on back , instead of touching mouse. Do I have to enter my password each time ?

I have macs my whole life, and I use PC at work. Like the PC that I have at work, if you turn your computer off, you have to press the on and off button to restart it. However, mac recommends that you always keep your computer on, it will go to sleep mode in five minutes or so (however you set it up). If you do that, it will "wake up" once you touch the mouse or the keyboard. About the password, it's up to you, you can set up that way, or set it up to not enter the password each time.

If you shut it down you will have to use the button on the back to start it and you also have to type in your password.A "restart" will also require your password.I think that most users however just put it to sleep unless they're not going to use it for an extended period.

No you do not have to push button in back every time. Just leave your computer on, and sleep when not using, that way you will not have to enter pass-word every time. Then you can just click mouse. :O)Marebear

Ya, the entry is confusing. For instance we push #1 + clerk + #1 again. That signs you in then use "ns" or total key to open drawer. However, once signed-in leave the register on otherwise you'd have to sign-in again.

I use it occasionally on new MacBook Pro 10.8.4, but it is sometimes a bit flakey when computer wakes up. I try to wait till the computer is back up before I turn the mouse on

Based on my limited testing, OSX support appears to be solid, with one caveat: the system wants to treat the input device as a keyboard, so it throws up a dialog box complaining about how it doesn't recognize the key layout. Once you close that box, it works fine (the device just sends the "Prior" and "Next" keycodes, which appear to work fine with Keynote and Preview.

Update: J Mead has a point. I recall reading early on, and trying the scrolling feature in this mouse with my PC. At least for me, it proved cumbersome, which is why I never used that aspect. It was the best mouse for the time. But as I said, Mac's fantastic & easy touchpad technology has really turned me away from needing anything like this anymore.

I do not know about Mac OSX but it does not require drivers. I just plugged it straight into my computer. There are a couple of "misplaced" keys that you need to get use to: There is a "home" key right next to the backspace key and a lot of times I will hit the home key instead of the backspace key. Also, the delete key is way up0 on the top row on the right side.

I do not experience that on my mac mini. The pg Up and pg Down keys are right next to Home and end. Maybe you got a faulty unit? Did the driver install ok? Sorry I can't be more help.

Any mouse will do but using a 3 button Windows version gives you right clicking without having to use keyboard controls, something the Apple two buttons still have problems with sometimes. Of note, I've found the Apple mouse to be something of a disappointment. Not only does it eat batteries for breakfast I've never seen where it does much more than other mice costing 75% less.

On a Mac its driverless (3M doesn't make drivers for Mac or Windows) The 3rd button - which is meant to change the upper left-click/right-click toggle into an up-scroll/down-scroll toggle does not work on Macs. Just as well. I find accidental presses of the 3rd button impossible to avoid.

Pretty sure its not autostart cuz i usually hit the right button; but the non-wireless f14 i had before i think was automatic.

I don't have experience with MAC. However, I am having issues currently with the system. A cloud change was made and all my records are missing. Not very excited about it at this time.

Unfortunately you dont. You can use the arrow keys. I use a regular mouse with mine. It's a fantastic keyboard, perfect size & not overly sensitive (no accidental key pressing). They do make another one with a scroll, but the mouse set-up is odd...

It kind of looks like one big button but this is a two button mouse. I've used it on both Macs and Windows PCs. You get the "right-click" behavior without using the control key.

It is very important to place finger on button...the bottom half is hard...the top half works fine...I know this sounds simplistic but it works well for me...I'm using WIN8 and the trackball is a great solution for this OS.

It depends on what OS you're using but you might need to change a setting in preferences. OS X on the mac has right clicking turned off by default.
