Just bought a 20" iMac and it's Sweeeeeet! I went the whole hog and upgraded everything, even got blutooth with cordless mouse. Which meant that my trusty logitech USB mouse went bye-bye. And let me tell you that playing with iTunes with an Apple one button mouse is pure HELL!

So i bought a logitech scroll blutooth mouse. And it doesn't work. i don't want to use the USB reciever - want to use the inbuilt apple bluetooth. I've gone into the control panel and clicked on the connect new bluetooth devices but it just keeps searching and not finding anything.



so any help will be great, THANKS!

    i've got the reciever plugged in and it works fine but this takes up a USB port and so want the internal bluetooth to pick it up.



    thanks

    umm as i suspected



    there's good news, and bad news.



    the good news is that your logitech mouse is cordless, and it will be fully functional when you use the USB thingy they supplied with the mouse



    the bad news is that it is NOT Bluetooth, ONLY this logitech cordless mouse is Bluetooth:

    ($150 aud recommended retail)...



    good luck matey, confusing, i know, but maybe you can exchange your new logitech mouse to kinda 'trade-up' to the Bluetooth logitech one...
