• The IP field shows the current IP that the server is listening on. In some cases you may need it to listen on a different IP, in which case you can select another IP from the list if there are multiple IPs available. If you select a specific IP, you must also uncheck the 'Listen on any' checkbox.
• The Port field specifies which port the server is currently listening on. There may not be any reason to change this unless it conflicts with a port that another program is listening on, or the port is higher than the permitted port range on your computer. After you change the port number and click apply, the server will restart with the new port settings. Please make sure that if you have a firewall that was set to your previous port, that you change this to the new port also.
• The Pass field allows you to specify a password that is required for anyone who tries to connect to your computer. This can be left blank if you do not need to require one. Once a device connects once, they won't br prompted to enter it again. If you want to disable devices that connected before, just change the password.

• The Pointer Speed sliders specify the x and y speed of the movement.
• The Acceleration slider adds extra distance to your movements by increasing the distance the mouse moves on the screen when you make quicker movements, and decreases the amount for slower movements. This will allow you to move across the length of a larger monitor by moving your hand quicker, but will also allow you to perform tasks like clicking buttons or links by moving your hand slower. You can fine tune the amount of acceleration added by moving the slider.

• The X slider specify the speed of horizontal scrolling. (Please note that horizontal scrolling isn't available on every OS/program).
• The Y slider specify the speed of vertical scrolling.

The first option for controlling your computer is to use this touch pad. This works the same as the touch pad on your laptop. It can be used in vertical mode with the keyboard showing or hidden, or in landscape mode by rotating your iPhone. The buttons are as follows:

1. Settings: Tap the gear icon in the upper left hand corner to access the app settings.
2. Swap View: Tap the swap icon in the upper right hand corner to toggle between the trackpad and in-air mouse.
3. Touch Pad: Move your thumb anywhere over this surface to control your mouse movement. As long as your movement originates in this space, you can utilize the entire space, even if you are moving your finger over the buttons and keyboard. Tapping quickly on the pad will activate a mouse click.
4. Scroll Pad: Run your finger up and down, or left and right to scroll within your current application.
5. Left Mouse Button: This will activate a left mouse button click. Additionally, if you hold this button down and move your finger onto the touch pad, you can move the mouse with the mouse button down.
6. Right Mouse Button. This will activate a right mouse button click.

The trackpad responds to all multitouch gestures supported in OS X. To scroll, just use two fingers on the trackpad to scroll in any direction. To perform a right click, single tap with two fingers on the touch pad.

The next option for controlling your computer is to use the in-air mode. In this mode, you will use your hand movement to control your mouse. Just point your device at your computer, then holding down the trigger, move your hand around as if you were using a laser pointer and the mouse will follow. The buttons are as follows:

1. Settings: Tap the gear icon in the upper left hand corner to access the app settings.
2. Swap View: Tap the swap icon in the upper right hand corner to toggle between the trackpad and in-air mouse.
3. Trigger: Holding this button activates the mouse movements. Keep it held down as long as you want to move the mouse. You can pull your thumb off it, move the mouse back, then press it again to gain more movement space. You can also tap the trigger quickly to activate a mouse click.
4. Scroll Pad: Run your thumb up and down over this part to activate scrolling.
5. Left Mouse Button: This will activate a left mouse button click. Additionally, if you hold this button down, it will also activate the trigger. This is useful if you want to click and drag something or highlight some text.
6. Right Mouse Button. This will activate a right mouse button click. Additionally, if you hold this button down, it will also activate the trigger.

• Server List: When you first run the app, it will automatically try to find and connect to the first available server it finds. If it is unable to do so, you may need to manually select the server from this list. If there are none available, it will display a message saying that it is searching. While it is searching, please make sure that your server is running and is not blocked by any firewalls or antivirus software. When you see your server listed, click on the server name to connect. If you are running multiple servers on the same network, this list will show them. You can use this screen to switch between them at an time. If you are unable to connect to your server, please follow the troubleshooting steps below.


• IP: The IP/Port fields can be used to manually enter an IP that you wish to connect to. Any time you have an IP and Port in these fields, you will automatically be connected to that computer each time and it will ignore the servers in the list. If you want to go back to using a server in the list, just erase the IP and Port completely so that they say 'Auto' in each field. Manually entering the IP can be used to connect to computer which aren't running Bonjour, or to connected to your computer over the Internet.

• Force Vertical: When this switch is in the On position, it will prevent the orientation of the trackpad from switching to landscape mode when the device is turned sideway.


• Sound: This switch can be used to disable all the sounds in the app.


• Tap Click: When this option is turned off, the trackpad wont perform mouse clicks by tapping on it.


• Drag Lock: When the drag lock option is enabled, anytime you tap and drag an item, it will remain dragging until you either tap the trackpad again or you stop using the trackpad for a couple seconds. This is great when you are trying to move a window or icon across a large monitor, or resize a window


• Pinch To Zoom: When this switch is turned on, you can pinch the screen in trackpad mode to zoom in on your computer. (Only works with OS X and Win 7)


• Left Handed: This option is used if you have your operating system in left handed mode. Turning this switch on will reverse the mouse buttons and the tap-to-click button.


• Natural Scroll: This option is used to change the scroll direction.


• Frequency: The Frequency slider sets the frequency in which mouse data is sampled and sent to the computer. Increasing this value will provider greater sensitivity and smoother mouse movement on faster networks, but can cause a lag on slow or unreliable networks. Lowering this value can provide less lag on slower networks, but may produce choppier movement. We suggest you leave the default setting unless you are having problems with your mouse movement.


• 3 Finger Swipe: This option will change the 4 finger swipe gesture to use 3 fingers instead. This makes this gesuture easier to use on the iPhone screen, but will disable the 3 finger pan gesture.


• Key Buffer: When this switch is in the On position, any keys you type will be buffered to the screen before they are sent to your computer. This is useful if you want to see everything you type before you send it, or if you want to use the device's built in spell correction. This feature should also be turned on if you are using a foreign language keyboard that combines characters as you type them, such as a Korean keyboard.


• Enable Shake To Hide: When enabled this option will allow you to show/hide your keyboard by shaking your iOS device.


• Sleep: This switch controls whether the device is allowed to sleep while the app is running. By default this is on, turn it off and the device will never go to sleep while the app is running. This is useful when you're giving a presentation, but otherwise should be used with caution as to not drain your battery.


• Stay Connected: Turning this on will attempt to keep the app connected to the server even after the device is sleeping, or the app is running in the background. Enabling this will keep the app from having to re-connect, but may reduce battery life.


• Proximity Sensor: Turning this switch on will allow the proximity sensor to turn off the screen. This is useful when you have the Sleep option set to Off because you can simply lay the device down on it's face to turn off the screen and conserve battery life when not in use, but still remain connected to the server.


• Auto-wake server: When turned on, this option will automatically send a wake-on-lan signal to the most recent server when the app is started.


• Call inturrupts media: This option will pause any media playing on your computer when a call comes in, or mute your computer if the app doesn't know how to control the current media player.


• Use UDP for mouse: Enable this option to use UDP traffic for all mouse movements instead of TCP. This may help if you are experiencing a lag in when your cursor initally starts to move.


• Use volume buttons: This option will allow you to use the volume buttons on your iOS device to control the volume of your computer. When you enable this option it will take over the audio of your device, so any previously playing audio will be suspended.


• Clipboard - Sync: If this option is enabled, the clipboard on your computer will be synced with the clipboard on your device. So every time you cut or copy an item on your computer, it will automatically be in the clipboard of your device. This is great for quickly getting snippets of content from your computer onto your iPhone.


• Clipboard - Notifications: If this option is enabled along with the Clipboard Sync option, it will alert you when it recognizes the type of content in your clipboard. Such as if you copy a phone number on your computer, it will ask you if you want to dial it on your iPhone. It will also recognize addresses, images and URLs.


• Tablet - Stylus: Tap this button to specify which stylus you wish to use with the graphic tablet option.


• Tablet - Min Pressure: This slider specifies the minimum pressure needed to produce a pen stroke. Any movement that is below this value will be handled as mouse movement. This option aims to emulate the hover feature found in traditional graphic tablets.

1. The app will not connect to my computer:
   If it isn't connecting properly, then it's almost always a networking issue. These can be tricky to diagnose, but please be assured that we will help you get it working. First off let’s start with the most common issues, can you please check the following:
   
   • You have a firewall blocking it. If you have a firewall, even if you added an exception, please disable it temporarily to see if that is blocking it. If it is, you can re-enable it after an add an exception.
   • You have antivirus software blocking it. If so, disable your antivirus software temporarily to see if that is blocking it. If it is, you can re-enable it after an add an exception.
   • Your phone isn't connected to a WIFI network, or is not connected to the same WIFI network as your computer. Please make sure to go into the device settings and make sure that the WIFI network selected is the one your computer is using.
   • It needs another port. Try lowering the port number to something like 9099.
   • You haven't installed the Mobile Mouse server on your computer. Please download and install it from mobilemouse.com
2. The app is asking for a password but I forgot what I set it to:
   
   • Open the server settings and change or delete the password entered in the password field.
3. The server all of a sudden stopped tracking my movement.
   • Verify that your IP address hasn't changed
   • Quit the iPhone app and start it up again.
   • Reselect your server under the app settings.
4. On my Mac, I can't use the zoom feature, or when I'm zoomed in, the screen doesn't follow the mouse around as I move
   • Please go to System Preferences->Universal Access and make sure that the radio button under Zoom is set to On. Then make sure 'Enable access for assistive devices' is checked too. Make sure that you are using the Command key modifier to activate zooming, and using the scroll pad to zoom in and out.
   • Please update the server software to the newest version if you can't move your mouse around.
   • In order to get the screen to follow your pointer, please go to System Preferences->Universal Access. Then click on the Options button under the Zoom section. In the 2nd to last section on the screen, make sure to select the radio button that says 'So the pointer is at or near the center of the image'
5. The Mobile Mouse iPhone app suddenly quit
   • This can be due to a shortage of free memory on your iPhone. If this happens repeatedly, please restart your iPhone by holding down the sleep and home key at the same time to free up some memory.
6. My keyboard does not work
   • Check the status message on the server and make sure that it is showing a message when you are typing
   • If you are using a non-English keyboard, we currently do not suppport all languages in OS X 10.4, it is doubtful that there will be a fix for this.
7. My hotkeys or keyboard shortcuts don't work
   • If you are running Windows Vista, please check to see if you have UAC enabled, if it is disabled, then keyboard shortcuts won't work. This is a security limitation of the OS to prevent malicious applications from causing harm to your computer when they cannot be verified though UAC. The options to resolve this are to either enable UAC, or to run the server as an administrator.
8. If all else fails, please use our contact form to submit a support request and we will be happy to help you get it running. Please be sure to include the following information: Are you running a Mac or PC? What version of the OS are you running? What processor do you have (Intel, 64bit, PPC, ect)? What steps have you tried so far to get the software running?
   If you find a bug or have a feature request, please send us an email.

1. Can I use the iPhone app to control and iPad?
   • Unfortunately no, this is not technically possible.
2. Can I use this over Bluetooth?
   • Yes, we currently support Bluetooth connections using our Advanced Communication Package. It still requires our service software though, and is only available for Mac OS X
   • An alternative, which seems to work just as well is to set up an ad hoc wireless network. We have created a page with instructions on how to set this up here.
3. Does this work with Apple TV or Android OS?
   • No, currently we do not support either
4. Is there a Linux version available or on the way?
   • Currently we do not have a version for Linux. There are a number of open source Mobile Mouse servers available for Linux, however we do not maintain or support any of them.
5. Can I become a beta tester?
   • Yes! If you would like to help beta test new versions of the iPhone and server apps, please send us an email letting us know that you'd like to help test. Please include the OS you are running as well as your 40 character iPhone Identifier (you can find this by running iTunes with your iPhone connected, then going to the summary panel of the iPhone, and clicking on the Serial Number field to reveal the identifier). We have a limit on how many we can accept so it will be on a first come, first serve basis and you have to have already bought the app to participate.
6. Why can't this work like a real mouse, where I can just slide the phone around the table to move the mouse?
   • There is no way to track side to side movement using the iPhone accelerometer or the camera (we've tried). This mouse is intended for in air use only, in situations where you don't have a table to work on. It's not possible to make it as accurate as a real mouse, nor is it meant to replace a real mouse.
