11/10 I just installed OS X on an old Mac for someone. The mouse used to work
but doesn't anymore. It does work if I use a boot CD to go into OS 9.
I'm not a Mac person and so I don't really know what to do or even
how to navigate without a mouse. Is this a common problem? Any advice?
\_ Ok, w/ control-F2 I got into System Prefs, Universal Access, but
I can't figure out how to tab over to "Mouse".
\_ Details? Which version of OS X? What model of mac? What kind
of mouse (usb?)? I had no problems installing Jaguar and
Panther on an old iMac (G3, 700Mhz). -meyers
\_ Details? Hey, wtf? I thought "Macs just work!"? This
sounds no better than windows or linux.
\_ It's worse than Linux, because Linux users are used to
having problems, so there is lots of information in
newsgroups. Here, you just have to hope that everything
just magically works the first time 'round.
\_ I think it's a G3 (green tower). Round USB mouse plugged into
keyboard (didn't work in the back either)... mouse worked during
OS X install and also in OS 9. Also, using keyboard, I got a
resource error when trying to load Classic. |
