How to turn off low battery warning for my wireless mouse? It's driving me crazy! I have to use my mouse every minute or so just to close the annoying low battery window (that's wearing down thee batteries!)
Thanks!

I think this problem is caused by low batteries. You can troubleshoot by replacing the almost-dead batteries in your mouse with new, fully-charged batteries. A package of 2 new AA batteries can be found at apple.com/store for $12*. They may also be available elsewhere online (check eBay or Amazon).

Yes, I had managed to work that one out, but thanks.
Actually it is my custom to keep using my mouse until it doesn't work. Generally lasts quite a few days on low power, so no problem there. But since I already know the batteries are low, I don't want it to keep telling me every minute. I can't find in preferences where to turn off this repetitive warning.
Anyone know?
Thanks

sorry, I'm feeling goofy this morning.
The only thing I can find is a suggestion to command+drag the bluetooth indicator off the menu bar (I assume you have a bluetooth mouse). I can't check that recommendation, because my order of almost-dead batteries hasn't arrived from Apple yet. Good luck.

What is "menu bar"? I don't know hwat you mean by the bluetooth indicator on a menu bar.
I get a window which appears which has a red octagon with a white exc;amation mark in it, titled "Low Battery Warning". It won't go away until I click "OK". Sooo annoying.

The better warning which also happens is a different warning - can't remember what it says exactly, something similar, but is not a window, just some (white I think) text which appears gently in the middle of the screen, and then fades away when I move the mouse. That's fine, because I don't need to move over and click anything.

Thanks again
