Ok so on my mac, my mouse wont work AT ALL. It is a 70$ mouse that i borrowed from my mother for school. At first it was just having small lapses where it wasnt connected (wasnt being detected by the computer) but now it just stopped working. It is a Targus AMU15CA Laser Notebook Mouse and its supposed to be a "plug'n'play" device. Thanks for any help.

By the way, im running the mac system I

I know, it's a dumb question, but have you tried replacing the batteries?

It cant be batteries since its a wired mouse. Also it has reverted to getting "disconnected" and coming back for short periods of time... This mouse works fine on my parents PC too.

Whoops, somehow I read wireless in there. Don't know how because it's NOT in there..........

Did it come with any type of software? I know it's plug and play but still........ it works on your parents, but not on yours.........

Nope, no software. Its just a plug and play mouse... Anyways I'm not sure it's compatible with a mac. It might just be a compatibility problem.
