Hi guys,

I am loving my new imac. I was wondering if there is a way to program the side button on the mouse to navigate back on safari?

You'll need a utility called SteerMouse (mice only, USB or Bluetooth) or USB Overdrive (any USB device, no Bluetooth). They will let you program any button on your mouse to do anything.

Depending on your mouse, the software that came with the mouse might work. My old Kensington had a program called Mouseworks (I think) and it allowed me to program the buttons to do basically whatever I wanted; including the back button in the web browser.
