What should you do if scroll wheel not working on Mac? In general, one or more following instances would indicate that your mouse scroll wheel not working. They were designed to use the Apple mouse which I think is Bluetooth.Part 2. Macs were nenver designed to use USB Nano mouse receivers. Yes, moving the USB device to the other side of the laptop computer also solves the problem, but that limits the use of all the ports which we paid for. The question is: is this an isolated problem with just USB Nano receivers, or does the Thunderbolt port cause a problem for any USB device plugged in? If it does, this is a serious design problem because that would mean that a USB hard drive will cease to operate correctly while the Thunderbolt ports are open.

If you disable the Thunderbolt ports in Windows and OS-X Y there is no problem. The exact same problems occur even if you are running Apple OS-X Y, the only difference is that the Thunderbolt ports are plug and play therefore the problem is continuous from the time you boot the system no matter whether a Thunderbolt device is plugged in or not.

If you move the mouse within 1 inch of the USB receiver it works, but if it is further away it seem the open Thunderbolt port causes a problem, perhaps distorts the 2.4GHz signal from the mouse, or maybe the motherboard and Thunderbolt and USB ports are not well grounded from Apple. Even if you "hot" unplug the device the Thunderbolt port stays open and continues to cause the problem
#LOGITECH MOUSE NOT WORKING MAC MAC#
If you are running Windows on your Mac the Thunderbolt ports are not plug-and-play therefore you can plug a device into the Thunderbolt port and the mouse still works fine, however once you re-boot Windows with a Thunderbolt device, such as the Ethernet adaptor, plugged in and the device is recognized and the Thunderbolt port opened. The problem has nothing to do with the mouse's nano USB receiver or the Thunderbolt Ethernet adaptor, and everything to do with the Thunderbolt port next to the USB port. Or, plug in the unifying receiver into a hub away from the ethernet adapter. If you want to confirm this, buy a USB extension cable to move your unifying receiver to another location (sometimes logitech includes this with their mouse). Here is the Apple Ethernet adapter that I bought that solved my issue. The reason that when you move it from one port to another it "sorta" works is because you have lessened the wireless interference, not eliminated it. If it was interfering with the USB, the hard drive would fail as your mouse does.

I changed out my TB to Ethernet adapter to a more reputable brand and the problem went away.Ģ) I found this answer on Logitech support forumģ) Plug in a USB hard drive.

I have a Logitech Anywhere MX (non bluetooth) and bought a TB to Ethernet adapter. I know this for a fact because:ġ) I experienced it myself.

It is not interfering with the USB port - just the wireless radio reception/transmission of the receiver. It is the PCIe "signals" that is creating this noise within the ethernet adapter. Your mouse stops working because the ethernet adapter is generating noise that is interfering with your receiver. When you daisy chain devices, you get both. When you connect the ethernet adapter, you are connecting to PCIe. So, basically speaking, when you are connecting the DP to TB, you only get video. Yes, basically the same PCIe bus that you would find looking inside any computer is now on that cable. TB multiplexes at least 2 signals over the same connection. The reason you are seeing the symptoms present when you connect an ethernet adapter to the TB port and not when you connect a monitor to the TB port has to do with what is being passed over the TB cable.
