Targus comfort bluetooth mouse won't connect

Hi,
just bought Targus bluetooth mouse:
http://www.targus.com/us/productdetail.aspx?sku=AMB09US
However, my computer is not able to recognize it. When I try to connect it to the different computers, it works without problems so the problem must be on the side of my pc.
I own Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13.
Any advice will be highly appreciated,
Thank you,
Jacob

hi Fredecumber,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community.
Can you try to follow this article on how to pair a bluetooth device on Windows 8.
Also, when you try to pair the Targus bluetooth mouse to your Ideapad Yoga 13, do you get any error messages? Does it even see the mouse on the bluetooth device list?
Let me know your findings
Cheers

Targus bluetooth mouse will not connect in bootcamp

I have a Targus blueetooth mouse that will not connect in bootcamp. It has worked fine for a long time in XP and 7. Then I upgraded the haddrive and had to do a lean install of Windows 7 and the Apple bootcamp 5. Now it will not connect at all. I have the "Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth" seleted , it sees the mouse but it tries to connect and just stalls. This is very frustrating since without the mouse it is nearly impossible to troubleshoot Windows.

Bluetooth mouse will not connect my wireless mouse...
what works +every time+ for me :
use your fingers to move the cursor up to the bluetooth icon (top right of display)
click bluetooth icon, select user mouse / connect
then quickly move the cursor up (with fingers) so it touches or is very close to the bluetooth icon
and start clicking with your mouse (making sure the mouse is on obviously).
I have NO idea why but this works on my MacBookPro everytime. If I try to connect without moving the cursor near the BT icon it won't connect (or takes at least 10 trys).

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!

X4000b Bluetooth Mouse constantly looses connection

Hello there
My new Bluetooth Mouse constantly looses connection to my Asus Transformer Windows TabletPC. So the mouse Pointer stops moving and can be moved again after 20 seconds or so. Any suggestions on how to solve this?

Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.

Bluetooth mouse won't reconnect when switched on

I have a 2.4GHz Mac Min (last model before being replaced by the model without DVD drive) and a Mac USB keyboard. I wanted to use a Bluetooth mouse as I don't like the trailing lead with a USB mouse, but I wanted a conventional three button type mouse as I need that for my RISC OS emulator program, so I bought a Logitech V470 Bluetooth mouse. I set it up in Bluetooth preferences with no problem and set it as a favourite. It then worked very well and was comfortable, smooth and accurate. The problem comes after I have turned it off, either when I am not going to be using the computer for a period of time, or at night, obviously to save batteries. When I switch the mouse back on, the computer and mouse simply will not reconnect. The only way I can get the mouse to reconnect is to plug in a USB mouse, delete the original device pairing, and set-up a new device again; or power the computer off and restart it. Sometimes restarting the computer doesn't work as a dialogue box will open over the password screen saying it can't find any mouse, then it finds it and shows the correct Mac Address of the mouse but even clicking any of the buttons on the mouse it still won't actually control the mouse pointer!
I have another Bluetooth mouse, a Microsoft 5000, which I use with my MacBook Pro so I tried that with the Mac Mini and once paired it works fine, *including* after being turned off, reconnecting within a second of being turned back on. So I asumed it was something to do with the Logitech mouse rather than the Mac Mini, and contacted Logitech. As it was a new mouse they suggested it was faulty and I have been sent a new one. However this one is the same and in one respect actually worse. Once paired it works fine just like the original, but once it has been switched off, again it will not reconnect when switch on. But with this one, even closing down the computer and restarting it won't connect the mouse. The only way with this one is to delete the pairing and set-up a new pairing again. That means whenever the computer or mouse are turned off, you have to connect a USB mouse so that you can get back in, delete the pairing and set-up a new pairing again, which is unacceptable.
However, if I boot the Mac Mini into Windows XP using bootcamp the Logitech mouse works as you would expect in all ways *including* reconnecting immediately after being turned on, if it has been turned off. Also I tried this mouse with a 2006 iBook G4 1.42GHz OS X 10.4.11 and again it functions correctly including reconnecting immediately it is switched back on. So these last two tests appear to show a fault with the Bluetooth firmware in Mac OS X on the new Mac Mini not a fault with the Logitech mice. After all, it is using the same Bluetooth and aerial whether in Mac OS X or Windows but it will only reconnect when in Windows. As a final test I set the MacBook Pro up for Windows 7 using bootcamp and again the mouse will not reconnect in Mac OS X on the MacBook Pro but it reconnects fine in Windows 7 on the same hardware.
Is there an answer to this problem? Do you agree it is a firmware/software fault? Does Apple know about it and are they going to do anything to correct the problem? Thanks. Roy

Yes, I do notice that connection can be lost sometimes and regaining it can be difficult. I have even had to go to the point of finding an old USB mouse to get it going again. I usually try turning off the switch on the mouse and then back on. Then I click it about 5 times or so, usually it picks it up again. Same thing with keyboard. Not sure if that helps at all. Good luck.

First BT keyboard, now BT mouse, won't connect

Yesterday my Apple BT keyboard wouldn't connect. Flashing green light on kb. Changed batteries, no difference. Deleted pairing. When creating new pairing, it sees the keyboard but can't receive the pairing code. I read the forum here, figured I wasn't alone and that there'd be a fix reported here shortly, and decided to be patient.
This morning my Apple BT mouse also won't connect. Deleted the existing pairing, but it won't connect to create a new one. Both mouse and keyboard are about 18mths old. It's not batteries or battery contacts - both are in good condition.
I'm running Apple Bluetooth Software Version: 1.6.0f2 on Mac OS X 10.4.2 (8C46)
Halp!

Hi Alan:
I had a similar problem (once) with my BT keyboard. I tried all the trouble shooting things but it got to the point where it gave me a code but then would not accept it. Here is what I tried (may or may not have 'fixed' the problem. I shut my computer down. I unplugged all USB devices (this is a workaround for a missing BT - not your issue). I walked away for awhile. I restarted, repaired the devices (the keyboard code was accepted, and the problem has not returned).
As I said, I have no idea why this worked - and I do not believe in magic!
I do not think both devices would be faulty - although anything is possible.

My magic mouse won't connect to Yosemite 10.10.2 I've tried 2 different mice with the same outcome.

I have an early 2013 MBP with Yosemite 10.10.2. Connectivity with the magic mouse has steadily gotten worse, now it won't connect at all. I've tried connecting with two different mice, one about 5 years old and one about 2 years old, both with the same result. Any one else have this issue?

Hello rachste,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these mouse issues with your MacBook Pro. If you continue to have connectivity issues with your Bluetooth mice, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful (apologies if you have already seen it):

Apple Magic Mouse won't connect

I have a magic mouse and it won't connect to my macbook pro retina display. I dont know where there is a file i need to delete and if i need to do that where and how do I find it. Thank you.

Be sure Bluetooth is turned on.
Has the mouse been connected to something else? If so, it needs to be deleted from that device first.

Bluetooth Mouse Won't Track

I changed the battery on my Bluetooth Mouse yesterday and now it won't track. It will still click, so the batteries are good and the connection is good.
Any ideas?

Hi !
I got exatly the same problem today : I changed Apple Mouse battery and then tracking had gone (only clicking was still OK).
I did reset PRAM and so on ... adding the mouse as a bluetooth device was always OK but still no tracking only click !
I put batteries away and left my Apple Mouse for a while on my desk ...
4 hours later, I put batteries back and was decided to update bluetooth firmware I had just downloaded ... I ran update software : it left two patches under Utilities folder to be launched.
I was decided to try it so I launched the bluetooth "configure new device" procedure one more : This time it worked !! The tracking was back !!
I think I will not use the patches just installed... that's enough !!
Hope my story can help someone !

Mouse won't connect.

Hi. My wireless "Mighty Mouse" will not connect to my Macbook. Please respond A.S.A.P. Thank you.

Hi Noam,
Open System Preferences/Bluetooth and delete the mouse from the Devices window. Restart your Mac.
Close the slider on the back of the mouse. Restart your Mac, open the slider on the back of the mouse. Open System Preferences/Bluetooth and re-pair the mouse and see if that helps.
Check the battery levels. System Preferences/Keyboard&Mouse and click Bluetooth. When it gets down to one green tab on the left, time to change batteries. You CAN use rechargeable batteries.
Make sure interference isn't the issue. http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials/article.php/1379911
I can't have my TV remote (not Bluetooth) within 3' of my wireless MM. Completely disables it.

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.

Mighty mouse won't connect after reboot

Hi all,
I updated my ~3 month old Mac Pro with the latest security update on 11/13/2009, and went home for the weekend. Returning on Monday 11/16/2009, I found that my mighty mouse would not connect to the Mac. I'd had intermittent connection issues previously, so I rebooted to no avail. Investigating further, I found that if I click on the Bluetooth menu and select the mighty mouse and click Connect, the Bluetooth icon flashes to connected briefly then back to unconnected. I can repeat this ad nauseum with no success. If I go into Mouse preferences and select Set Up Bluetooth Mouse, and then turn the mighty mouse off and then on to initiate pairing, the setup window will find the mouse. I then click Continue and it attempts to connect, but on the first try it always fails. If I then repeat the discovery and connection process again, it will pair successfully. After that the mouse works normally. However if I reboot my machine, the pairing is lost when Mac OS comes back up. This always happens with the mighty mouse, and maybe 50% of the time when I perform the same procedure with my wireless keyboard. I then have to go through the semi-successful pairing process again. I've tried various fixes including deleting the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and rebooting, but nothing has solved this. This also happens if I try to use a magic mouse I bought for my Macbook Pro on the Mac Pro. I haven't had any bluetooth problems on the laptop.
This was addressed in another post but the original user marked it as answered after Apple had him pair the mouse with another computer and then with the first. Tried that too, doesn't work for me.

Hello d:
Try making the BT devices "favorites."
Go to system preferences>bluetooth. Highlight the device. Click on the little gear and "show more info." Click on the gear again and make the device a favorite.

Bluetooth Mouse can not connect...

Hi All, I am aware this is an issue however can not figure out how to resolve it. I have a 2007 macbook 2.16 dual core I'm using a bluetooth mouse which works perfectly with Mac OSX Lion. However when I switch to Bootcamp running Windows 7 64 bit, the mouse can not connect. The computer will find the mouse but when I click on the mouse icon in the bluetooth setup to continue installation the circle spins and spins and says connecting to device and nothing happens. The mouse works and bluetooth works, but not in bootcamp. I am tech savy so hit me with your best shot. Thank you!!

Vnahaze2000, I still haven't figured out the problem. Try this website, it's from apple. There are drivers you can install which will hopefully alleviate your problem. I downloaded every driver and unfortunatelly no luck. But maybe it will help you. http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents Good luck!!

Magic Mouse Won't Connect!

I had a magic mouse that worked perfectly. I have had it since it came out. For some reason, my mac changed the Time Machine hard drive to a different one, so I deleted what had saved to the wrong hard drive, and changed where it should back up. It would not delete, so I reinstalled Snow Leopard like I was told. Then, my bluetooth magic mouse stopped working. I tried to reconnect with the "find bluetooth mouse" but that didnt work, so I tried deleting it as a pair with my computer and tried again. Still nothing. Then I searched for any bluetooth device. Nothing. I searched for the "wireless mouse software 1.0" but once the snow leopard version downloaded, it said there was an error with my hard drive. I tried the Leopard version, and it said that a newer version was installed on my computer already. I am currently using the latest version of snow leopard with an iMac with intel. What do I do?

Turn the mouse off. Turn the mouse on. You should see the green light start blinking on the mouse by the switch.
Wait a couple of seconds, then click the mouse.
If it doesn't connect automatically, go to the Bluetooth preferences. Delete your mouse from the left panel, if it's there. Press + to open the Assistant, and click the mouse again. Is the mouse detected?

Bluetooth mouse cannot keep connection

My Bluetooth mouse cannot maintain a connection to my MacBookPro (running 10.10.2). This just started a couple of days ago. I have two different BT mice (with fresh batteries) and my MBP cannot keep a connection with either one. Is there a bug in the last Yosemite update?

You are right - the router shouldn’t affect it but...Process of elimination
PRAM reset:
SMC reset
Unplug power to the USB hub and disconnect form computer - if your wireless mouse now works you can narrow it down farther. BTW my wife simply moved her hub and HD behind the computer to solve her problem. I needed the cable.
I doubt the router has anything to do with it but you can always temporarily take it down (unplug the power) and see.
