Just bought the M600. It works out of the box. I also manage to pair it (using windows) with a unify receiver I was already using for the Keyboard. After pairing in windows, they both continue to work on Ubuntu without any additional effort. IS the receiver to be paired, not anything on the OS. The scroll works but swipe does not seem to work. I did not make any tentative. There is not middle-button, this is a device issue, not an OS specific one. Without middle button you cannot use ALT-MiddleButton combo to resize windows. I'm using it on Precise, 12.04. Never tried on 11.10 ora any other distro.
Since this was 2 years ago their might be more devices supported. The last update they did to the HIDPOINT software was in February 15, 2012 Version 2.1.1.172. So this means they are still working on implementing more Logitech & Microsoft devices into Linux. I don't have this mouse yet, but I already made my mind about buying this one and the anywhere mx mouse.
However, it's not easy to handle, since almost the whole top of the mouse acts like a touchpad, there seems to be a lot of information going lost or are misinterpreted by the mouse-driver.
This is a great app to drop on us for free. I still prefer AirMouse Pro though. If you were to work in Hulu desktop and Media Center specific buttons, I think this app would own all the other iPhone apps. No worries though, I still buy all my mice from you! =)
The requested object does not exist on this server. The link you followed is either outdated, inaccurate, or the server has been instructed not to let you have it. Please inform the site administrator of the referring page.
Can you make an option to disable the buttons, also an option to move the buttons to the bottom? the clicks on the top of the screen is just not my touch pad experience.
after all this is a great app! keep it up!
Pointer jumps : Tthe point jumps if i need to lift my fingers.
(e.g. i need to move the point from left to right, but I have already at the right egde of the pad, so I lift the finger and place it somewhere on the left, in this case the point jumps already a about 20% further right), in that case in need to move my finger back to left) I observed this in XP I have tested that on OSX so.
Improvements:
Pairing via bluetooth:
I think that would be a more robust and a direct point to point connections, and much easier to install than in an office envirionments (no fserver to be installed, no firewall issues etc.) (I understoodt that with SDK3 that is possible)
I am still not getting it to work I get the .dmg and install the disk, I then open the disk and get the iTouch-Server icon but no itouch-server.app file as described to open. Double clicking the icon does nothing, I am using and older first generation MacBook OS 10.4.11. I see that the windows versions of the server app have 32 or 64 bit versions but not the Mac OS version could this be the issue?
On the iPhone / iPod Touch, the mouse buttons (2 or 3 buttons) should be designed at the bottom of the screen as we normally use the pointing finger and middle finger to control the mouse cursor and normally use the thumb to click the buttons in this combination, as it is very hard to drag an object in the computer, I need to use 2 hands to do it.
Also, on the server connection page, it is better to have saved list of the server as this software should be designed for mobile users, especially for the mobile devices, e.g. laptop, it is good to have a list which memorizes all computers with different IP addresses
I am having the same problem as Gregg; I download the Mac OSX version, open the file and move iTouch-server.app to my applications. When I double click, nothing happens. The icon does not show up in my menu bar. Any suggestions?
Can you guys make it work over USB wired connection as well? Like have a switchable option between WIFI/USB? It makes sense to use it that way when I am at my laptop, and switch to wireless when I am not.
Sorry to hear it is not going to work for me. I guess i would like to know if anyone has successfully got it to work in Ubuntu via WINE I have not used WINE myself so I do not know much about its limitations.
Tried it on W7 pro 64. It works for about 3secs (very juddery) and then somehow my wireless connection drops off. Cannot reconnect to my router until I restart it. Tried it a few times, same thing happens.
Touch Mouse server application can be installed on linux using wine, but there is problem with Bonjour service. Is possible to use it without Bonjour? Because without Bonjour sw says:
This computer IP address: 127.12.34.56, which is from 127.0.0.0/8 and So accessible only from local host. I think this is only problem.
Hello,
I am trying to run logitech touch mouse on my window XP 32 bit system and I have done all right what is being told on logitech site for installing software on my i phone 3gs and on my laptop as logitech touch mouse server but after doing all I am unable to make it up and running. What is wrong somewhere. final query will this application work in United Kingdom ?
My iPhone sees the TouchMouse Server on my WinXP laptop but it is never able to connect and then stops seeing the server. If I exit the server and restart, my iPhone will see the server again but the same scenario occurs. I have gone into my anti-virus software and made the settings to always allow but still no luck. If I have to go into router, what settings specifically need to be set up to allow this to work?
I successfully installed, configured, and connected, my PC says it is connected to my I-Phone, my I-Phone says it is connected to PC. But nothing happens. No scrolling, clicking, or mouse-moving on the iphone appears on the PC.
I am unable to download the logitech touch mouse server, i am not seeing the dropdown to select the OS i want and I didnt see either the download button too from web address logitech.com/touchmouse, please help.
I just download and try it last night. And it work perfectly.
BUT
Today I try to use it but it cannot get connect to my computer.
The Touch Mouse Server was launch on PC showing NO CONNECTED.
One iPhone I launch the Touch Mouse app and it keep searching for servers.
So I try to connect by IP address, after a minute it show up connection failed!
Remote host is unreachable.
I installed it this weekend on my laptop running Vista 32-bit. It worked right off the bat, and it performs very well. I have no lag when moving the mouse cursor. One problem I encountered was that every time my Ipod went to sleep it would disconnect itself, and then would not reconnect until I reset the server software on my laptop. I fixed this by simply setting the Ipod to stay awake while the Logitech app is running. Love the app, now I can brows the web comfortably from my couch without having to purchase a new wireless keyboard/mouse setup.
Works great on 2 of my Win XP 32 bit systems, but will not work on my Windows 7 64 bit machine. Just as above on all of the other Windows 7 machines, it finds the system and then says it cannot connect.
Love TouchMouse. Downloaded and installed just fine, no connection problems on my Vista32 laptop. Only problem is there needs to be an open window for the mouse to work. Nothing open on the desktop? Gotta walk over to the laptop to open a window for the TouchMouse to do its magic. Hoping this gets fixed in v1.1!
this works great under win 7 but i woukd kike to install the server software as a service instead of having it run on login. the reason being that i logoff my pc whenever im not using it which closes down the server sw, so i cant use my iphone to control the pc until i log in using a regular kb amd mouse. i would also like the keyboard part of the app incorporate the spell checking and shortcut features of the native iphone keyboard
Would really like to have the arrow keys and ok button as well as tabs, alt tabs like Patrick said above. It would make it perfect to use with Boxee (they have a good remote app for iphone as well) and Windows Media Center. Perfect for a 10 foot interface.
works great on ad hoc with laptop. Cannot use because there is not access to the function keys. Presenting software uses function keys to back up or arrow keys. Air mouse has this but your preferences setup is much better and I like the do not sleep option.
Not really a big deal for most people, but I use a laptop to stream shows (netflix for example) to my TV in the bedroom. Now I can close the laptop, and use the iPod to control the mouse/keyboard without opening the laptop and mess up my viewing!
As of March 9th this is still not available in Canada. What possible excuse is there for not releasing this in Canada? Does it really take over a month to get an app on the Canadian site? Are there legal reasons for this delay or does Logitech just not like Canadians?
what a brilliant idea, downloaded the software, installed it and away it went, absolutely mad idea but brilliant ?
Also supports turning the ipod on its side so you get a landscape keyboard and touch pad.
Start, then type Firewall into your Search Box
Left hand Column select Inbound Rules.
Should be TWO Logiteck Green Ticks Listed.
Double click on the first one, select the Advanced tab.
Under Profiles, check the box that says Private.
Uncheck the box that says Public.
Click OK.
Do the same for the other other one and re sync the App.
The only trouble I have is that when I stop moving the cursor on the screen using the ipod as a touchpad a box pops up as if the right click of a mouse button had been pressed. The grey control box just sits there until the cursor is moved and left button clicked. Then it just pops up wherever the cursor stops again? It is so annoying and really discourages me from using the app.
Neat app, though i get random slowdowns, it works perfectly for about 30 seconds then the cursor lags behind the input from my iPhone heavily for about 15 seconds, rinse, lather, repeat, not sure if its a logitech or iphone problem.
