Magic Mouse on Magic Charger

The Magic Mouse that I use loses the connection after a few minutes of use. I must then shut it of and restart it again to be discovered. There seems to be no problem with Magic Charger, though I feel there might be a link to the "dropping" question.

Check that the battery compartment cover is completely closed. Listen for the "click." The Magic Charger battery unit is a tight fit. It's easy to think the compartment cover is completely closed when it isn't.

My Magic Mouse and Mobee charges seems to lose the connection every day. I've used it with no problem for about 6 months or so, no it keeps losing connection even after recharging overnight. Any ideas?

I seem to lose the connection of my Magic Mouse often, daily and sometimes several times during the day using the Mobee charger even after charging overnight. Ideas?
The charger is plugged into my Cinema Display and has worked fine for 6 months or more.
Thanks !

Thanks Steve-
The problem seems to have just gone away.
I wrote to Mobee, and their answer is to take the batteries out, recharge and see if that does the trick.
Having been through this once before, and sending pictures along of the MM, which didn't help, it was just an oddball problem that has gone away.
I'll keep an eye on things.
I guess it's just one of those mysteries of Apple and the third party.
Thanks for taking the time to answer,

Swipe between pages feature is freezing with magic mouse and magic trackpad in Mavericks

I am experiencing a bug in Mavericks with my Magic trackpad and the Magic mouse. This bug comes and goes and is very sporadic. When it happens I am usually in a browser like Firefox or Safari, or in iPhoto. Anything that uses the Swipe between pages feature usually locks up, and on top of this it locks the scroling up and down function in the browsers and in iPhoto. The only thing that makes these functions work again is to reeboot or turn off bluetooth and turn it back on. I see that many people are having this problem in other posts, and I am just wondering if Apple is actually working on this bug or has somebody found what trigers this bug and do they have the fix for it?
Thanks for your help

Maybe this will help. You can look for other ideas in the 'More Like This' box to the right.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Magic Mouse vs Magic Mouse 2

Magic Mouse moves windows around. I wold like to see Apple create a magic mouse that would move the cursor.
Just think of all the roller balls that would be eliminated.

I have never used a magic mouse, but use my magic trackpad & built in trackpad ( I have a macbook air) relgiously. The magic trackpad uses amazing technology to sense your fingers, even in 4-5 fingers at once. Touching an apple trackpad is nothing like clicking a regular mouse / trackpad. I know this is a weird example, but picture touching a magic trackpad / magic mouse as touching your hair just hard enough to feel the skin. an apple trackpad / mouse is programmed to that kind of touch. Since you barely have to touch it, it rarely causes pain. There is no 'clicking' involved. The magic trackpad is flat, but if keeping your hand flat hurts, it may help to use the magic mouse or vice versa.

My iMac 27' late 2013 doesn't recognize my magic mouse, as magic mouse.

the mouse working and connecting by bluetooth, but his feature (fingers stuff) dosen't work.
something weird change since it's happend, while the icon of the mouse shows on the screen when it's connect change to the usb mouse shape and not like the magic mouse.
from my impresstion, it's seems the imac recognzie that there is mouse connected, but not the type of the mouse.
check out the attchtment pic.
i tried already to PRAM RESET
and SMC RESET
both didn't effect.
im lost.

Ok, I am just trying to check out the obvious first. Do not think I am treating you as stupid.
As you correctly say, the Mouse settings in System Preferences change depending on what kind of mouse you have.
It does appear as if the driver for the Magic Mouse has somehow been corrupted. The most common cause is
due to third-party mouse drivers. Do you have a third-party mouse driver installed (for another pointing device, or even a generic USB input handler)? If so, uninstall these options and restart the system, and the Magic Mouse settings should reappear.
If you DON'T have any third party driver installed, then this is a web page that gives further advice:

Try reinstalling the Magic Mouse update from here:

Hope this helps.

Can the magic mouse and magic trackpad be used together

Having just purchased a new iMac with a wireless keyboard and magic mouse, I want to add a keypad and I'm looking at purchasing the Magic Trackpad with the Mobee Magic Numpad overlay (and connecting it to the keyboard with the Twelve South Magic Wand).
What I need to know is - if using the Magic Trackpad, can I still use the Magic Mouse at the same or must it be one or the other (would there be any conflicts)?

Yes, they can both be enabled at the same time as can the keyboard.

When I use the Magic Mouse, it magically won't let my computer go to sleep

even if i turn it off and wait before I close the computer. anybody else seeing this? The fan's just spin and spin and the machine overheats and goes black and I have to hard power cycle.
grrrrrr.

Try resetting some of the hardware involved (PRAM~NVRAM). See this Apple KB for details, etc.:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Can't hurt to try, and apparently this has helped others recently.
Failing that, take it to an Apple Store and ask staff there for assistance.

Is anybody else struggling with an intermittent connection when using the Magic Mouse/Trackpad ONLY on Boot Camp?

Hi,
I've seen thousands of posts about Bluetooth connection issues and interference and stutter/lag for both the Magic Mouse and Trackpad (affecting both Mac OS X and Windows under Boot Camp) but my problem is different.
To summarise my setup, I use:
- Retina MacBook Pro (lid closed or open, doesn't make a difference to this problem)
- Thunderbolt Display
- Wireless Keyboard
- Magic Trackpad (have also tried a Magic Mouse and experience similar issues to the Trackpad)
And in Mac OS X, everything works perfectly. The keyboard and trackpad work smoothly when I'm 6-7 metres from the machine, whether or not the laptop lid is open or closed, and whether or not the Thunderbold Display is connected.
But on to my problem: the bluetooth connection is incredibly unreliable/intermittent when in Windows (I run Windows 7 64-bit and Boot Camp 4.0, and got both devices connected without any trouble via Bluetooth).
But during usage, the cursor stutters/lags frequently, and tap to click (when enabled) seems to get triggered by mistake all the time (even when I'm not touching the Trackpad or even at the computer, clicks get registered).
The Wireless Keyboard is perfect, and works well 5 metres from the machine. The Mouse and Trackpad, though, don't even work reliably when they are 6 inches from the machine. The built-in trackpad on the laptop works perfectly too, in Windows and Mac.
I spent a week assuming I was suffering from Bluetooth interference, so I tried:
- using the laptop with the lid open
- removing the Thunderbolt display completely and trying the Magic Trackpad
- repositioning items on my desk
- disabling wifi
All of these adjustments made minor differences to how good/bad the Trackpad was, but none came close to fixing the problem or making it work as smoothly as under Mac OS X. It was only after doing all of this that I realised perhaps it was just a Apple driver for Windows issue, so I booted into Mac OS X and tested everything out, and sure enough, it's all perfect. But back into Windows, the Trackpad doesn't work reliably at all.
Obviously, the hardware is not at fault, and I assume the signal strength doesn't vary between operating system (why would it?) so I'm left believing this must be a driver issue. The TrackPad and Magic Mouse drivers have been out for a couple of years, so I'm surprised they can still be this bad. I tried both the latest driver from Boot Camp 4.0 (3.2.0.0) for the Trackpad, and also the older one from Boot Camp 3.2 (3.1.0.7) and both are equally bad for me.
So my question is: has anybody else struggled with using the Trackpad (or Magic Mouse) with Boot Camp 4.0 and Windows 7 64-bit, whilst finding it to be perfect under Mac OS? I haven't found many posts complaining about the Windows driver, which is why I assumed it was an interference issue. But I'm almost sure it isn't, having spent 2 weeks investigating.
Any thoughts/suggestions/answers much appreciated!
Kyle

SOLVED!
After much testing, I have found the cause of lagging/jumpiness on the Bluetooth Magic Mouse and Magic TrackPad in Boot Camp. Hopefully this will help others:
The drivers for the Broadcom 802.11n Wireless Adapter have a setting called "Bluetooth Collaboration" that is Disabled by default. Enabling this option removes the problem instantly. My Magic Trackpad now works flawlessly, even if I stand 6 metres from the machine. It now works just as well as under Mac OS. The setting can be found under:
Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter (right click and choose "Properties". Under the "Advanced" tab, highlight the setting named "Bluetooth Collaboration", then change it to Enable. Then click OK.
I narrowed the problem down to the wireless card by disabling ALL startup services and processes for Windows, then re-enabling one by one. As soon as I enabled the Windows Wireless Service, the problem came back. Similarly, disabling the Wireless Card inside the Network and Sharing Center (or Device Manager) removes the problem. This led me to believe it must be a driver issue with the wireless card, since the problem didn't occur with the Magic TrackPad under Mac OS, or on my mother's Windows 7 64-bit computer. So when I went into the Driver Properties to check for an update, I found this setting about Bluetooth Collaboration.
I really hope this helps others trying to use Bluetooth devices under Boot Camp. All Apple notebooks use the Broadcom card (and have done for years), so this driver is installed for almost anybody using Boot Camp on an Apple notebook. I'd assume this problem would affect anybody using Boot Camp + wifi + a Bluetooth device.
Cheers

Magic Mouse tracking/clicking issue

I have identical systems at home and at work...2007 Mac Pro, 10.6.2, and the Magic Mouse. Magic Mouse works perfectly on my home system, but on my work system it's almost unusable. Terrible lag as I move the pointer around the screen area...sometimes not moving at all as I move the mouse a couple of inches, then jerkily following along--this is constant. Clicking also seems to be intermittent. I've looked at the system monitor to see if I had any processes clogging up CPU usage and did see some things going on with Safari, but closed that out and still had problems.
Any suggestions as to why I might be getting this lagging problem on my work system? Maybe I need to swap mice and see what happens...
Rocky Rakoon

There are several of us that for some reason have been having this lagging / jumping / erratic bluetooth mouse problem now for over a year.
In order to help Apple Care get to the core of the issue I posted the following video to youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBzisliiVpg
In addition, another Mac user with a similar problem posted this video to youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxLY3-pH-rs
I personally think that others suffers should use the QuickTime X screen recording function to make a small movie that clearly shows the problem. Then post the video to youtube and notify Apple Care and Apple Feedback of the problem (www.apple.com/feedback)
This way Apple will know that a real problem exists and that they need to examine the issue.

Magic Mouse under Win7 - full functionalities

Dear all,
I don't have a choice - my company runs Win7.
Nevertheless, I don't want to miss my Magic Mouse and my Apple Keyboard that I know from my home devices.
To connect the Mouse with my Dell Nogebook hasn't been a challenge but, I miss functionalities like the move with fingers - so far only right & left (double) clicks work fine.
Can anybody help / advice what to do to obtain full functionalities of my Magic Mouse under Windows 7?
Thanks a lot in advance from Germany!

I bought apple magic mouse and trying to pare it with mac book pro but it says the devise doesn't have necessary services also when if I try to pare it again in 5 mins it says error in connecting ...please help

please help

It sounds like you have assigned the primary click on the trackpad to something else, perhaps a gesture.
Use your mouse, login and then open the Trackpad preference pane and see how you have the interface configured.
Oh and you can have both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad powered up and working at the same time. No need to keep moving batteries around.

Can Application Switcher Be Assigned To The Magic Mouse ?

I have been a Might Mouse user now since it was released and it's been a very productive mouse... allowing me lots of options while I navigate my finder and files... and assigned Application Switcher to the track ball nipple was for me a must have feature... and now my whole workflow has now become based on this simple feature. I recently purchased a new MacPro 12 Core with Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad. The Magic TrackPad I just can't get my fingers adjusted to... so I have counted that out... but the new Magic Mouse I like... I like the way it feels in the hand... I like the wireless feel about it... but the lack of the track ball is proving a difficult adjustment. I have started using CMD TAB but that's proving less effective as I'm sometimes getting mixed up with key stroke shortcuts for Adobe Acrobat... for Quitting etc...
I need to decide what mouse to use... as switching between both is even more confusing. Is the Magic Mouse the absolute future... so should I just stick with that... and adapt... or go back to me seamless Mighty Mouse workflow.
If I could assign the Application Switcher to the Magic Mouse I would stay with it I think.... it's the lack of support for the key feature is proving to be the deal breaker.
Anyone have any comments, advice, suggestions. All comments would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Anthony

Hi-
Can't predict the future, but I understand the dilemma with regards to which is a better mouse.
For app switching, there is a way to do such, but at the cost of a lost function:
