Bluetooth mouse dropping out. . .

Finally it seems they fixed the wifi issue with safari.
Now it seems my apple bluetooth mouse drops out quite a lot.
Batteries showing above 75%.
Hmmmm.
Anyone else?

And you've all of the updates for 10.8.2? Strange - I've never had Bluetooth problems or issues... I know that there was a problem, early on, with wifi and Bluetooth on the Retina machines but, as far as I know, that has all been 'fixed' with updates... haven't heard of that problem in a long, long time.
I don't know what else to tell you to try - you might want to make an appointment at your local Apple STore and see if they can come up with a fix...

  • Bluetooth mouse drops out or becomes intermittent

    This happens when I connect my Plantronics bluetooth headset, anyone else see this happen, is there a solution? It is very annoying. Yo uwould think there should be enough bandwidth for both. I never had a problem with this before Lion. I am running an i7 quadcore macbook pro, so there should be enough horsepower here.

  • Bluetooth mouse cuts out when transferring files over the network

    Just as the title says: whenever I copy files to a PC over the network (via SMB I think its called) My bluetooth mighty mouse will start getting very jerky and makes is very difficult to move the cursor on the screen. However, my Bluetooth keyboard is comply fine. Both are using Lithium batteries and where just replaced about a month ago. Also, both are in close range...about 2 feet. And it only happens when coping files.
    Any ideas?
    -Scott

    I don't connect to network volumes that often, but I did again today and noticed that my bluetooth keyboard completely cut out (had the "discounted" HUD come up) and then the keyboard would not reconnect until the file copy was complete. I don't know about the mouse as lately I've been using my Microsoft mouse that hasn't been giving me any troubles. (like really, Microsoft and "no troubles" in the same sentence??? lol)

  • Bluetooth Audio dropping out when Phone goes into screen lock

    I have a 3G running 3.0 and a Sony Bluetooth audio capable car stereo. The audio streams perfectly via bluetooth until the phone goes into screen lock or "sleep ", at which time the audio starts drooping out. As soon as you slide to unlock the screen everything works fine again.
    Anyone else with this issue ?

    Yup, that's exactly what I've had.
    I paired a Jabra BT3030 BlueTooth stereo headset module to my 3G and it worked perfectly until the screen went off and then the audio could only be heard intermittently. When the screen came back on, audio was perfect again. This was completely repeatable.
    I posted about this the other day, but just prior to that tried again to confirm and I could NOT get it to occur. No matter how many times I put the iPhone to sleep and woke it up, the audio played consistently with NO dropout which is somewhat frustrating and a bit bizarre.
    Looks like there is an issue with A2DP if several of us are experiencing the same problem so bug report/feedback to Apple is required I think.
    Has anyone else had the problem go away next time you try?

  • Bluetooth media drops out

    I have a weird problem. When I have used Bluetooth media in the morning and then use it again after a couple of hours, the phone switch the audio to the internal speakers. The Bluetooth settings still says the BT media is til connected, but the music plays on the internal speakers.
    Rebooting the phone doesn't help. But if I leave it for a couple of hours By media starts working...
    Any ideas?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    That sounds strange. If Media audio is enabled for the device under Settings -> Bluetooth -> [your device] it should play media audio to the bluetooth device.
    The only thing i can think of that could cause an issue like this is that you have installed an app that forces the audio output to the internal speakers. It is possible for apps to do this in Android. What if you try to force it back to bluetooth using another app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodslink.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix?
    To see if the issue is an app that's forcing the audio to the internal speakers you can also try it in safe mode.

  • Bluetooth mouse & keyboard driver drop out

    Having trouble with mighty mouse and apple bluetooth keyboard dropping out periodicaly, when using windows XP. Track pad & keyboard on MacBook still work ok. Window pops up saying USB device not connected. When looking in bluetooth devices in control panel the bluetooth drivers, keyboard and mouse are missing. After short period everything comes back again. It will do this randomly and not at any specific times, even when the computer is not being used.

    Can anyone help???

  • TS3048 I just bought a new Bluetooth mouse but I can't set it up bc my other mouse broke

    I Just bought a new Bluetooth mouse because our old Bluetooth mouse went out. I'm trying to set it up with no mouse. I can't click on anything because I have no mouse. Is there anyway to open the Bluetooth connections just using the keyboard?

    You have me confused as to where the apps really are. You mention iPod and mention that the iPod isn't your primary computer. Obviously, it can't be - its an iPod. I'm not trying to be a jerk - I just dont understand what that means.
    The you say that the old computer is the primary computer for iTunes. That makes more sense. Anyway, you could have transferred the iTunes library from the old computer to the new Mac, but I assume that you did not realize that.
    So ... If the apps are on your iPad - but did not transfer to iTunes when you synced the iPad with the new Mac - transfer Purchases. Connect the iPad to the Mac, launch iTunes, right click on the iPad name on the left and select Transfer Purchases. That will put the apps in iTunes on the Mac.
    Movies cannot be downloaded again for free because Apple does not have an agreement with the movie studios to allow for that. At least that is how I understand the way that works.

  • Metal holder causes drop outs?

    I built this iPhone holder. It is a combination of a cheezy iPhone holder and a clip on desk lamp from Target. The Bluetooth audio drops out during songs. If I take the phone out of the holder, all audio is fine. I wonder if the metal holder is causing interference or if something else might be going on.

  • Wireless mouse intermittently drops out/stops working

    I have just bought a Mac Mini. I'm not a fan of Apple keyboards or mice, so I've bought a third party keyboard and I'm using a mouse that I already had (Microsoft Wireless Mouse 1000). Whilst it works fine with my Macbook Pro and PC, with the mini I get drop outs in the form of jerky movement and occassionally stopping long enough to see it just isn't moving. The mini works fine with a wired mouse.
    My gut feeling from playing around with the different mice and computers is that it is actually the aluminium case shielding the signal from the mouse (as both are on the desktop and the mini sits at the back of the desk with the USB ports on the back and a great chunk of aluminium therefore in front of it.
    I have a USB hub built in to the monitor, but that seems to have the same problem - the USB ports are behind the panel and associated electronics. Sadly, my keyboard (Ducky Zero DK2108) doesn't have a hub built in, so I can't connect the dongle to that either.
    I'm just surprised I haven't seen (after a lot of googling) other complaints about the same. I may have to reluctantly buy a Bluetooth mouse as the BT antenna is of course outside of the Alu case. An alternative may be to use a small USB hub that can be positioned with line-of-sight to the mouse. It seems absurd I would have to do either of those things.
    Can anyone else comment on their experiences?
    Thanks!

  • Why does my imac mouse keep dropping out?

    My bluetooth mouse on my iMac keeps dropping out even though it has relatively new batteries. Is there any hope for it?

    Sometimes making a Bluetooth device a favourite can help. It fixed it for me when I had exactly the same problem:
    System Preferences>Bluetooth, select the mouse on the left and then click on the small 'cog' at the bottom left of the window and select 'Show more info'. You should now get the option to make the mouse a 'favourite'.
    I've also seen it suggested on here that adding a small piece of thin card/paper to where the batteries are can make them more secure and stop them breaking contact with the terminals. Not tried this one myself as I didn't need to.

  • Cursor of mouse keeps on dropping out of application

    Hi - I have a macbook pro with OS X 10.9.4 . Since 2 nights ago when I type in mail or in a browser every 10 seconds my mouse drops. Therefore I am typing and then I have to click in the space again to continue typing. It is as if the mouse decides to exit the application every 10 to 20 seconds and then I need to click on the application again to continue typing. Although it exists the application, it isn't entering another application or the desktop. I use a bluetooth apple keyboard and a magic mouse. I disabled the keyboard and the magic mouse and switched off the bluetooth and used the inbuilt keyboard and trackpad and the same happened. I can't seem to find settings that causes this problem and it is hugely frustrating

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Magic Mouse Regular Drop Out

    My mouse is dropping off bluetooth regularly.
    I've timed it to a 13 second dropout then on for 60 seconds, repeated ad-nauseaum.
    It is NOT loose batteries and I have just cleaned the contacts, it drops out when it's not being touched.
    *** is going on?

    I purchased a magic mouse in January 2015 and it worked fine until I replaced the batteries and then it began dropping out.
    The mouse was shipped with Duracell batteries and I replaced them with Eveready Super Heavy Duty batteries. My problem with dropping out began almost immediately. The shortcoming with the magic mouse is that the either the spring tension on the battery contacts isn't strong enough or their length of travel is limited so movement or jarring of the mouse can cause drop out.
    The issue is that an AA battery isn't an AA battery isn't an AA battery. I measured a Duracell AA battery as having a length of 50.65mm and the Eveready battery that I replaced it with having a length of 49.65mm, one whole millimetre shorter. On reverting back to using Duracell batteries my dropout problem has disappeared. Simple!

  • IMac G5 iSight and the new Magic Mouse - WiFi dropping out.

    The G5 with iSight seems to be unique amongst Apple computers, in that it shares the WiFi with the Bluetooth on a single compound card. I have not tested this out completely but it certainly seems to be the case that the Magic Mouse when left, having finished a session on the iMac, will after a few hours 'power down'. When it does so, sharing the WiFi, it will disable the wireless communication. I can find no known settings to avoid this from happening.
    If I had dropped my iMac into sleep mode and woken it with a click of the mouse, all would be fine, however with my G5 downloading a file in the background, to come back and find the wireless has 'dropped out' is disconcerting to say the least.
    Usually the WiFi can be re-established by turning it off and on again, then re finding my router (a TC in the other room) and all is well again for another 'period of time', which I can only guesstimate to be a couple of hours. However occasionally I will have to 'Restart' the iMac to get back to a working system. This is something I only ever really have to do with my work PC; I have NEVER had to do this on the iMac before. This is a quaint but annoying Windows thing and should not occur on a Mac. (This last phrase is slightly tongue in cheek!).
    The WiFi link to my work PC via the TC is never compromised, which pointed the finger to the new magic mouse. I run the last version of Leopard for the PPC processors, 10.5.8 and have loaded the magic mouse driver software.
    Has anyone else seen this happen?
    Has anyone else got a solution, other than not using the Magic Mouse?

    I did not see resetting PRAM mentioned yet, so if not done already, do that
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    plus this procedure to reset SMU (power management)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1767
    Be sure to follow it precisely. When you reconnect the power cord, if you are using a crowded or old power strip, connect it directly to a wall outlet for this test. Power it up with nothing connected except power cord and once it starts up, connect only your keyboard/mouse (no other USB/FireWire peripherals). Try using it that way to see if the problem still recurs.
    The only other suggestion I have is, if you have a external FireWire drive that you can erase (or create a small partition on), install a fresh Leopard installation on it. Start up from it and see if this problem still recurs.
    Alternately, back up your data, erase (re-partition and reformat) the interal drive, and reinstall Leopard on the internal drive, then give it a try. If you clone (using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper) to an external FireWire drive as your backup, you can still boot from your current installation (on the external drive). If the fresh installation test does NOT work, you can clone your clone back to the internal drive. If it does work with a fresh installation, you can keep using it and transfer just your user data back from the clone.
