Ok after scouring the nest I managed to find some obscure program that does it, although its new (ish) it seemd quite hard to find, its called steer mouse

and now i have my mighty mouse working nicely (may even get a wirless one)

I have left and right click, then side button is my show all windows (had to use the f6 key for that (seemed pretty useless anyway on the mbp) and my wheel click is back

I was just about to recommend Steer Mouse - much more configurable than Apple's software.

lol I beat you to it. What I found was weird was that it was well hidden, it took me ages to find it (did some obscure searches) and when i found it it was only on a few websites

@fatreg:

Yeag, just remember to Empty the trash after dragging files to it. On a Mac, just dragging files to the Trash moves them to a hidden folder called Trashes on the same disk, so that you can retrieve them later if you wish. To reclaim the space used by these files, you actually have to Empty the Trash. (Just like at home really!!).

Also, if your memory card devices have lots of ._ and DS_Store files on them when you put them back in the phone/camera/PSP etc. have a look at http://mobile.feisar.com/utilities.html for some utilities that clear these files. They're just used by the Mac for custom icons, window positons etc. and are useless on the other device. I use BlueHarvest and CleanUpNonMacDisks.

my powerbook keeps resetting the clock back to 1970 every time i switch it off.

and says that programs may start acting erratically.


any ideas why this would happen/how to fix it? [addsig]

It may need a new backup clock battery. They last about 3 years. Contact your local Apple Service Centre for a replacement.

is there a way to close a macbook pro case without it basically switching of the systems such as airport etc, but rather just turn off the screen and nothing else?
