[Guide] Bluetooth mouse in Windows 7

Issue:
Mouse will pair, however, the device will lose it's connectivity after 20 seconds of the mouse being in active. The user will have to click the mouse button to wake it up.
*How to solve?*
Go to Device Manager -> Bluetooth Radios - > Apple Built-in Bluetooth -> Power Management, untick the option to "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"
Hope that helps everyone

i'm getting a different problem with my bluetooth.
currently running Windows 7 on Sony Vaio NS30e, and I can pair the phone...the usb dongle works, however, when transferring music files wirelessly it stops at anything under 30%. I have tried uninstalling the bluetooth drivers and installing others but to no avail...i get the same hanging problem.
I can transfer photos no problem, click to send via bluetooth on laptop, set the phone to receive but no luck with music files.
any help is much appreciated. (also posted in Curve 8900 section)

  • Bluetooth Mouse with Windows Vista

    I have a 5 month old iMac and installed Vista on it and I was able to connect my bluetooth mouse and keyboard to it just fine.. But my brother-in-law just got a new iMac and I installed Vista on it for him and when I try to connect his bluetooth mouse with it it wont work it works in Mac OS X but wont let me connect it to Vista. It gives me some error about unable to pass passcode onto it or some junk..
    Anyone have this problem and/or how to fix it?

    It is probably unlikely to be the mouse but it could be. Otherwise my vista install took a good half hour to do the pairing for no real reason, I just kept trying. So from me just persist with it and try reinstalling the bluetooth driver, it seems to be a problem most people have a problem with the wireless mighty mouse at first I don't know why. Sorry I'm not helpful but as for as I now there isn't a solution because it will work.

  • Bluetooth Mouse not working in Windows 7?

    Everything installed correctly and W7 boots fine, even did the drivers for bootcamp before the full Windows install
    Thing is I have the Apple slim Bluetooth Keyboard and Magic Mouse (that come with the iMac) it seems that the Mouse just will not respond??
    The keyboard is working?? on Bluetooth but not the mouse and as i dont have a corded one to hand i am trying to navigate the whole Windows with my keyboard!!

    my exp is that my magic trackpad unlike in osx require ment to click it before it turn on and begin to respond to touch
    but my bluetooth razer mouse don't work with blutooth so I connect it by usb which it also support could be that windows don't care for 2 bluetooth "mouse" input devices at the same time

  • Windows 8.1 and Apple Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard connection

    I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8.0 Home and as a result I'm experiencing the following problems:
    Apple Bluetooth Mouse - randomly dis/connects or freezes where I cannot move the mouse or it's very jerky or very slow.
    Apple Bluetooth Keyboard - the keys will stick or freeze causing the redundent key presses (eg. yyyyyyyyeeeeeee).
    I've done the following to fix the problem with no success:
    Reinstall Boot Camp 5.0.5033 drivers
    Reinstalled Bluetooth drivers from Boot Camp 5.0.533 individually
    Unistalled both devices on OS X and reinstall them only on Windows 8.1
    Reinstalling both on OS X and reinstalling them on Windows 8.1
    Uninstalling all the drivers from the Device Manager and reinstalling them
    One thing I have noticed is that under Devices and Printers I have two new devices (HID-compliant mouse and HID Keyboard Device) that were not there under Windows 8.0 in addition to my bluetooth devices.  I have tried removing the new devices but they keep reinstalling themselves.
    I have USB mouse that's connected and I've been able to use that without problems so I think there's a problem with the Apple driver or the Windows 8.1 bluetooth drivers.
    Has anyone fixed this?
    Thanks!

    Just to point out the "Bluetooth Collaboration" setting I've found this:
    Bluetooth Collaboration enables general purpose input/output transmit suppression protocol between the IEEE 802.11 media access control (MAC) and an external Bluetooth chip to minimize transmit interference. Bluetooth Collaboration is enabled by default.
    And it is not enabled by default on some devices like on mine!

  • Bootcamp Windows 7 bluetooth mouse not working

    From my macbook air with bootcamp windows 7 my bluetooth mouse is not working.  It was working before and it still works fine under mac os but I don't know why it's not working anymore under Windows 7.  I also tried to find bluetooth from control panel or device manager but bluetooth is not showing.  Anyone can help me to solve this problem?  Thanks.

    getting blue tooth device to work after install
    iMac 21.5 inch OS X Lion (10.8.4), Bootcamp 5 install of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
    At the end of my install, I noticed that Bootcamp was not available from Windows (e.g., no hidden taskbar 
    icon). Other issues with missing USB drivers. Magic mouse worked ok, except the trackpad-like swiping 
    features were absent. Ran setup in the BootCamp folder of the thumb drive (not the setup in the thumb 
    drive's root directory), which indicated it was a continuing install (guess somehow the first one stopped 
    prematurely), installed all the special Apple etc. drivers for the Bootcamp interface with Windows.
    After restart, all the troubleshooter warnings for USB devices had cleared, but Magic mouse was not 
    communicating with system.
    Attached a standard Microsoft optical USB mouse.
    Then, in Windows control panel > devices and printers:
    right clicked the magic mouse's icon (was labeled apple-username's mouse)
    selected Services tab
    (Bluetooth Services refreshes, then shows checkbox for Drivers for keyboard, mice, etc (HID))
    check the checkbox
    Windows installs the driver and the magic mouse works with all its features in Windows.
    incidentally, noticed that had lots of internet cutouts with both wi-fi and lan connected. maybe an issue 
    with my ISP, don't know, although issue only apparent in Windows, not Mac OS X.

  • Bluetooth mouse won't work in windows

    I have a microsoft bluetooth notebook mouse 5000 that works well in mac osx but when I go to windows 7 in bootcamp it reports that the bluetooth hid device driver is not working and the mouse won't work.
    I can get it to detect the mouse and try to load the driver but then it says that the driver installation did not work.
    In device manager the bluetooth hid device has a warning icon next to it and it says that the device is not working.
    When I try to use my magic mouse in windows the same error happens and it says that the hid bluetooth device driver is not working.
    Both mice work fine in mac osx and the microsoft mouse was working ok in windows until last week.
    Since then, my son installed a couple of games in the windows side and the mouse started acting up the following day.
    Any advice would be very appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi!
    I suffered this problem time and time again, I kept on pairing/un-pairing/re-pairing etc. and then for no reason at all it suddenly worked. What happened I do not know. Be patient. First off use a wired keyboard and wireless mouse and if that works stay with it for a while. Then try both wireless. I found my mouse was more temperamental than the keyboard. You may have to try wireless keyboard and wired mouse (USB into the computer direct).
    Good luck let me know how it goes.

  • Trick for Pairing Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse With Windows 7 in BC 3.1

    My Mac:
    Mid-2007 iMac 20", 2.4 GHz; OS X 10.6.2; Windows 7 Home; Boot Camp 3.1
    My Problem:
    No matter what I tried, including all kinds of tips and tricks found in this forum and elsewhere on the web, I could not get my Apple aluminum bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth Mighty Mouse to pair in Windows 7. Windows 7's bluetooth setup panel would see them, from time to time, but never connected.
    The same pair connected quite easily with Snow Leopard, and the keyboard connected before I installed BC 3.1 in Win 7 (never did get the MM to connect in Win 7 with BC 3.0). But with BC 3.1 in Win 7, it was no dice for either one until I made an accidental discovery.
    While prepping another Apple bluetooth aluminum keyboard for my wife's Mac Mini, it was seen by my iMac's Win 7, which wanted to pair with it.
    Aha! A Big Clue! The Win 7 BC 3.1 generic bluetooth drivers wanted to pair with an aluminum keyboard that wasn't already paired with the iMac. So, I booted back into Snow Leopard, connected a USB mouse and keyboard, renamed the bluetooth mouse and keyboard, and then deleted them. I rebooted back into Win 7, then easily set up both renamed mouse and keyboard which paired quickly with Windows.
    Note that I first tried deleting them from the Snow Leopard side first, but Win 7 still wouldn't pair with them. That's when I went back to Snow Leopard and renamed them but didn't pair them with the iMac until it was booted into Win 7.
    Finally, I rebooted back into Snow Leopard and paired the keyboard and mouse with OS X. Done.
    Hope this trick/tip/hint helps someone else with keyboard and mouse bluetooth pairing problems.

    You're welcome. My discovery was quite accidental, but that's often how things happen ... if you're paying attention and are looking for clues.
    Sorry you had to trial and error before you succeeded, but as you've probably found, it is necessary to rename the bluetooth devices first, then delete them from OS X.
    I don't understand why this trick was necessary, or even what caused it to happen. I've got 6 Win 7 installations via Boot Camp on 6 Intel Macs (2 white MacBooks, 1 Unibody MacBook, a Core Duo Mac Mini, a 27" iMac and the 20" 2.4 Mid-2007 iMac). All were running 10.6.2 and Win 7 (aren't Family Packs wonderful?) via Boot Camp 3.0 more or less without problems, except as noted in my first post.
    Only the 20" iMac had problems after the Boot Camp 3.1. Not only did I have a devil of a time pairing the keyboard and mouse, but I also lost the Win 7 activation on the iMac 20" and the OS X partition started showing up as "EFI Boot". All happened right after I updated Boot Camp 3.0 to 3.1 via download from Apple while running Win 7.
    I've heard reports of other Mac users discovering Boot Camp had done a FUBAR job on their machines, but this is my first experience. My guess is that there's some dialogue going on between 10.6, Win 7 and Boot Camp that shouldn't be happening. What I really don't understand is why my other 5 Macs didn't have any problems at all with the Boot Camp upgrade to 3.1. Let's hope the Apple Boot Camp team can reverse engineer my discovery and improve the next version of BC.

  • Windows not recognizing bluetooth mouse

    Oh Geez, now on top of not being able to hold down option key and having it give me the option to select a startup drive, Windows is completely oblivious to my bluetooth mouse using Bootcamp 3.04.  Suggestions?

    I've downloaded itunes, tried researching and
    troubleshooting til I'm blue! I plug in the ipod and
    the only thing my device manager shows is USB mass
    storage device. By the way, my ipod did NOT come with
    an installation disc. And yes it's fully charged. The
    orange lights up while charging and when I plug in
    the ear pods the blue light stays lit.
    IF the GREEN LED stays lit continuously, SOMETHING is seriously wrong with the Shuffle! READ the following
    article, "Understanding iPod shuffles status lights", especially the part on " Using iPod shuffle to play music"
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300553
    iTunes is not recognizing the ipod either (as my
    friend said it should)
    I even installed itunes on a friends' computer and
    had the same problem. I just got this for my son for
    Christmas and needless to say he's a bit
    disappointed.
    Did I buy a lemon?
    Perhaps...but they're Not ALL lemons by any means.
    Please help!!!

  • Bluetooth mouse disconnects after sleep in W540, Windows 8.1

    I have paired a bluetooth mouse and it works fine - until computer has been in sleep. After sleep the mouse does not work until I go into settings - Change PC Settings - PC and Devices - Bluetooth. I do not have to do anything, it just connects when "Manage Bluetooth Devices" opens.
    I have looked into forum and swithed off the "allow the computer to turn off device to save power" in device manager for device Intel Wireless Bluetooth 4.0 + HS adapter. No effect.
    I have Windows 8.1. The mouse worked fine in my older HP laptop with Windows 7.1

  • Bluetooth Mouse and Thinkpad T520 not working together at all

    Hi All (first post),
    System:
    Lenovo T520
    Windows 7
    Microsoft Bluetooth mouse
    Problem: Not working at all, or working only sporadically.
    History: Laptop is a bit over year old (warranty ends in June 2015 IIRC). The sales clerk recommended a bluetooth mouse, so I bought a Microsoft Bluetooth 5000. After the initial pairing difficulties were resolved, they worked swimmingly for about a year. Then I started more and more frequently having to re-pair them (remove device, let Windows find it again, pair them,...). As the mouse had taken a bit of beating, I bought another one a week ago. Didn't really help. The first time I asked Win7 to find the device, it couldn't. The Bluetooth radio was on, and the mouse had a fresh set of batteries, and all the other braindead suggestions of Win7 were eliminated. The bluetooth radio was working, because it detected the neighbors daughter's smartphone through a concrete wall, but not the mouse. I kept pressing the button in the bottom of the mouse that presumably makes it broadcast "I'm here".
    I moved to another room. This time detection and pairing up the device went fine. But after I had switched the laptop and the mouse off, and rebooted - nothing happened. I had to go through the remove/add device cycle again. Moving to a different room again. At first nothing. Then Windows finds the device, but gives the error code 0x800070015 (or something like that, not sure about the number of zeros), and fails to configure it.
    Any idea what is going on? Why is this becoming progressively worse?
    Elsewhere in this forum it was suggested that I should disallow windows to power off USB root hubs. I tried that but it had no effect.
    Regards,
    Jyrki

    Sorry. The error code was 0x80004005. This is the code I get from Add Device ->, when I try to enter 0000 as the paring code (suggested by the mouse start guide. If I try to pari them without a code, Control Panel first indicates that the piece of Hardware was added ok, but it before I get any use out of the mouse, the freshly added pic of the mouse disappears. The red/green light on the mouse never stops blinking.

  • REMOVE (not fix) bluetooth mouse

    Dell Inspiron 3521
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit w/ 8gb ram
    Microsoft 5000 bluetooth mouse
    This is the 3d laptop that I've started out with said bluetooth mouse, and the 3d computer that I've eventually -- after some months of working flawlessly -- that I've given up trying to keep it working.  I've gone back to the simplicity of  a
    USB mouse.  Now that the USB dongles are so small I don't consider them to be a drawback any more.
    Now I need to remove the BT mouse.  No, I have no interest in getting it to work.  I just want to remove it from the list of installed devices.  Start --> Devices and Printers shows the mouse, but there is no option to remove it.  
    Going to Control Panel --> Hardware andSound ---> Device Manager -- Mice and Other Pointing Devices, showed 3 "HID Compliant Mouse".  One was a hardware (direct wire connection to USB port), one was "Microsoft USB Input Device) (the
    wireless USB mouse) and one was the BT.  I selected to remove that, but when I go back to  Devices and Printers, the BT mouse still shows.

    Roger,
    Thank you for the follow-up.  Unfortunately, I find no solution.
    The first link, the kb article, listed some registry hacks that appeared to be overly invasive.  Almost an approach of "kill 'em all, let God sort them out".  I did start looking at all the registry keys listed and found the list quite extensive
    - there were a total of 24  keys with the name of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}, and many of those have many 'nnnn' keys to check.  After wading through a few dozen it occurred to
    me that the name of the device listed in the control panel (Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000) should appear somewhere in the registry, so I did a search on that (and several subsets of that) over the entire registry and got zero hits.
    AS for the link to the "downloads" .. http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/bluetooth-notebook-mouse-5000 lead to no downloads (hoping to find an updated driver that would allow a deletion from the control panel) but only some un-useful documentation: 
    Product Warranty;  "Product Guide" - which was nothing but the usual safety warnings; "Quick Start Guide" (how to install the battery and turn it on), and "Technical Data Sheet".

  • URGEND: After cloned backup neither usb nor bluetooth mouse recognized

    ahhhhhh, help needed....
    after bootcamp kills my complete system disc during installing xp i've cloned my backup copy onto my ereased system disc. every things fine (besides some errors) but now my macpro don't recognize neither the usb nor the bluetooth mouse.
    the keyboard works fine and i've tried every usb slot and a powered hub without no luck.
    the bt mouse getting recognized by the bt assistant, connect and ready, BUT it's not working. the "tray" symbol shows it's connected.....
    i've tried the following: pr reset, board reset, permission repaired, new directory by diskwarrior = nothing
    behind the error window of chronosync is another one from parallels which says that the "connectusb.kext" extension wasn't correctly installed.
    i've tried to copy the extensions from my macbook parallels but the error still occurs.
    i'm not sure but i think there can't be any connection between the parallels extension error and my overall mouse dis function, or can it be???
    plz help, cause i've got no possibility to archive and install the system cause i'm on an non authorized tiger 10.4.11 system on an early macpro
    thx sooooooo much/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
    cheers and sorry for double posting

    Just watching various posts on forums to see what I should do next. I updated to 10.6 from DVD, then went to 10.6.5, and my keyboard and mouse would stop working, and then start working again when I unplugged and replugged the keyboard (I have the mouse plugged into the keyboard). I don't want to spend all day unplugging and plugging my keyboard. I just went back to core 10.6 from the DVD, all my main software seems to work, so unless I have problems, I'm just sticking with core 10.6 until things get resolved.
    I might try updating to 10.6.2, or 10.6.4, but not until I'm forced into it (when something is really not working on unstable). I do mostly music and video work. The only reason I updated was because something new I want to run (Wavelab 7) only works with 10.6. I usually never update my OS unless I'm forced into it, I'm way not an OS early adopter, I have work to do! I was truly expecting 10.6.5 to be OK, they've had plenty of time to get the kinks worked out. I wasn't expecting Apple to introduce new ones. Sounds like I'm not bothering with 10.6.6 now. 10.6.7 anyone? Do I hear .8?
    Way to go Apple.
