My increased tracking speed doesn't work in WoW - anyone know why? It seems to revert to Apple's (slow) maximum.
Got a tip for us?

This is great, I have downloaded the software for this but it's just taking a while to load up. I opened it like 5 minutes ago and I still see it nowhere on my computer.
Is this normal?

Is it already running? Try pressing control-option-command-O to get into the settings. I run it with no menubar icon. I can't remember if that is the default setting or not.
You can also access the settings from System Preferences if it's properly installed.

Is there another program rather then this one that actually has an option for pinch in and pinch out for zoom. Instead of having to hit the control button and use the mouse at the same time. The option for that on this program rarely works.

BetterTouch has disabled two-finger swiping left and right!
I trashed the program and restarted, and it's still not working. Does anybody know how to fix this?
So frustrating. I'm sorry I downloaded it.

Did you check your Preferences for your mouse? I think it may disable the default settings for back and forward and uses it's own. You may have to re-enable them.
two-finger swiping doesn't work
Yes. Two-finger swiping is enabled in sys prefs. Also the zoom feature isn't working properly now. What a disaster.

Zoom isn't a default feature of OSX. You won't get that without Better Touch Tool, which I thought you said you uninstalled.
Ok, quick question about this...
When you look at the main preference screen, does BTT see your mouse? I check for this by looking at the mouse tab, it should show you a battery percentage.
See my 99%? That implies to me that it sees my mouse.
The reason I bring that up is because.... the other day I had to reinstall Snow Leopard. In doing so, my latest Software updates needed to be re-applied. So the 10.6.2 update wasnt applied. Until I reapplied the updates, BTT wasnt working. When BTT wasnt working, my battery % was 0. Also, live view in BTT was showing no gestures. So I applied all my software updates and rebooted. Upon reboot, BTT was working again. Just an FYI!

i dont think youve attached the right screeny lol.?
I shouldve zoomed in on that part. The battery level is actually on the little icon of the MM. Before I updated that said 0% even though it has full life. As if it didn't see it there. I'll post a better screen cap when I get home.

LOL, Youre about due DoF. Break out the wallet because batteries are a RIP OFF!!
I wonder if someone can help me with a workflow Im trying to set up. I want to show all my open Photoshop windows with a gesture. So I set a gesture to show application Expose, that showes me the same thing regular expose shows me, open apps. Anyone know how I can get just my open Photoshop windows to show/???
EDIT: I just realized I was trying to do it in Maximize screen mode in Photoshop. I was able to use Expose when in regular screen mode. Problem solved I guess.

its all good lol... I have rechargable duracell batteries. They don't last as long but are cheaper in the long run. I got about a month out of the ones that came with it.... My rechargables lasted about 2 weeks, they started off at 60% charge tho!
glad to see you got ur workflow done 🙂

oh thanks for that! i have NEVER seen them around, and i am big on batteries!
do you know how they compare to the duracell ones? i use the 2650mAh duracells.
i had a search on an IT database here in australia, only two websites stock them! $12Aus for a 2xAA pack. i wonder where i could get a charger from (nobody stocks them). decent price i guess. 2000mAh vs duracells 2650mAh.

Hello,
Eneloops are low self-discharge batteries, perfect for low power (like the mouse) appliances. They're rated at 2000MAh, but once I started using them, even in high-drain devices like photography speed-lights, I threw all my 2500MAh rechargeable batteries away. The chemistry is different and even with 500 less MAh, I found that they recharged my flashes faster than regular NiMH batteries.
For me it's Eneloops or nothing. 🙂

P.S. You can find them cheap on sites like dealextreme.com (free worldwide shipping).

Sorry, I don't have any experience with the Duracells.
I agree completely with Loa. They are the best rechargeables I've ever used.

those batteries sound very impressive! Thanks very much Loa, I will only be using them for magic mouse, ps3 controllers and wireless keyboards so they really do sound ideal for those devices .)
Thanks to you and sasasushi 🙂

I just got a magic mouse today and installed better touch tool, lovin it so far 😀. Question though, how do i set up actions within specific programs; like for example in Firefox, if i want to set up a gesture to close tabs or something. I didnt see an option for this..just the pre-defined actions... 😕
In the main preference pane under the Gestures section you should see a section on the left labeled "Select Application". Click the + sign and select the app you want to create a gesture for. Thats it. Let us know if you need more help.
Ok i got that part, now i want to set up a gesture in firefox, like say for example 🙂apple:W), but it wont let me type the "Apple" key in, what do i do now? 😕
