Am I supposed to have to Pair the Magic Mouse evertime?

If I turn the MM off, I have to repair it to my MBP every time I turn the mouse on.  Is this right?
Also, this new mouse doesn't sit flat on the table, it slightly rocks, so the runners on the bottom are not even.  I just got this today, and it may be going back.

Well, to update my own question...
Here's what I have found.  With the MBP up and running, I can pair with the mouse and all works well.  If I turn off the mouse, the MBP pops up a lost connection.  If I turn the mouse back on, it does not connect.
If I turn off the mouse after turning off the MBP and on before powering up the MBP, all is well.
Also, Apple is sending a new mouse.  Can't stand the rocking mouse on my desk.  I also tried it on a piece of glass to insure it wasn't my desk, and it still rocks.
Apple was very good about sending a new one.

  • HT2845 do I need to pair the magic mouse each time I switch it off.

    Do I need to pair the magic mouse each I switch it off, or should the mouse be left in the on position all the time.

    It should pair automatically when switched back on. Having said that, I never turn BT devices off unless I am gone for a long time. BT devices automatically go into a low power mode after a short time of non-use.

  • I use an iMac (27" 3.4) and have problems with the Magic Mouse. It does not use contact, but opens useless and unrelated submenus with every click, even on the empty desktop. I can't shift, open or close pages. Has anyone out there the same problem?

    I use an iMac 27" (mid 2011). Until recently I had OSX 10.6.8 installed, but both, the HDD and SSD had to be replaced, and I lost all the memory.
    After the repair through Apple Care I had OSX 10.7.5. (Lion) installed, which developed a Magic Mouse problem.
    Unlike with most users, I have no problems with connection, but grapple with a different kind of erratic behaviour.
    All fancy stuff is turned off in the mouse preferences. When I try to move, open or close pages, unrelated submenus pop up and hinder the
    required task. No matter how often I click, these menus stay there, and they even come up when clicking on the bare desktop.
    It renders the mouse absolutely useless, as no work can be done with it.
    The first 'Magic Mouse' had depleted batteries every few days, despite switching it off after use.
    I was supplied a new Mouse, which does better battery-wise, but the problems are the same. I can't get a result by clicking on any link, due to
    the pop-up menus, so both 'Magic Mice' are totally useless.
    At present I am using the old USB mouse from my Mac Pro, and that works still o.k.
    The problem are not the mice, but the software. The first 2 weeks after installation of OSX 10.7.5 the Magic Mouse worked though.
    I have no idea as to what the reason may be.
    Has anyone in the community ever experienced that particular problem. Any hint would be welcomed.
    Thank you!

    Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
    Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
    I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
    Thanks for the advice, Bee
    Cheers, Gerd

  • Use of the Magic Mouse

    Is it necessary to pair the Magic Mouse with the computer every time y boot or reboot my computer? For the moment there is a Bluetooth USB Host Controller plugged in one of the USB terminators of the keyboard, to enable Bleutooth.

    Thx for the reply William, but the situation is still the same. The mouse is now one of the favourite devices, but there is no change in the way things go.
    Even if I leave the power switch on (on the Magic Mouse), the Bluetooth preference panel is lounged after starting the computer. And there is no mouse found. If I switch the mouse off and back on again the computer reports the mouse. And only after the second attempt the computer is able to pair to the mouse. Ones that is done the device works fine.

  • Can the Magic Mouse be paired with the original iPad?

    Can the Magic Mouse be paired with the original iPad ?

    No, neither the first nor the second gen iPad supports a mouse - there is no cursor for a mouse to control, all you have on the iPad is an insertion point when entering or amending text

  • TS3048 Is there a way to "calibrate" the magic mouse? I have rearranged settings for mouse, air-cleaned, tried different surfaces, however, it seems to be misinterpreting finger movements and randomly trying to open launchpad when enabled.

    Is there a way to "calibrate" the magic mouse? Batteries are good. I have rearranged settings for mouse, air-cleaned, tried different surfaces, however, it seems to be misinterpreting finger movements and randomly trying to open launchpad when enabled-flashing between the app I am in and launchpad. When right-click is enabled I have to go to the extreme upper left of mousepad to click or it is interpreted as right-click. Won't consistently "scroll". Suggestions?

  • Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK

    Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK with plug-in keyboard and mouse

    Hi, Derek -
    ...the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink.
    Sounds like Spaces is being activated somehow. With the wired keyboard and mouse in use, select the Exposé & Spaces control pane in System Preferences, click the choice in that pane for Spaces. See what the settings are. There are some activation settings in that pane - by default, F8 activates it.
    It could be that the bluetooth keyboard has some stuck keys and is activating Spaces; or that the activation command has somehow been reset to something that the bluetooth mouse, or bluetooth itself, is triggering.

  • HT204387 iPAD mini iOS 6.1 can pair keyboards, why not the Magic Mouse?

    I need to access a site that requires click & drag with my iPad Mini. Has anyone figured out a work-around to get the MAGIC MOUSE to pair with the iPAD Mini? I am having trouble understanding why it won't pair.  Can Apple make an update to iOS 6.1 to include the MM?  It already can pair many other Bluetooth accessories, why not mice?

    Thank you KPenguin. I understand now, though I still can't 'click & drag' items in Kano games.  The 2 second hold that works for rearranging app icons doesn't seem to work.  Guess I'll be returning my new MMouse, which is a shame. I was looking forward to playing around with all it's cool features! :)
    Note to self: Mouse needs active cursor to work! Haha (it's a duh moment here!!) o.O

  • I have boot camp in my mac to use autocad. Can I use the magic mouse on my windows side and use it to work in autocad?

    I have boot camp in my MacBook Pro to use AutoCAD. Can I use the magic mouse on my Windows side and use it to work in AutoCAD?

    Yes and no. The gestures wont work so it just becomes a regular scroll-wheel mouse.

  • Does the magic mouse not have the feature of viewing all open pages on desktop like you do when you use the side buttons of the wired mouse?

    Does the magic mouse not have the feature of viewing all open pages on the desktop like you do when you use the side buttons of the wired mouse?

    No, you'll have to use Mission control for that.  It's either located on the dock, the F3 key on recent laptops on a swipe on the trackpad.

  • HT4111 does the magic mouse pair with an ipad?

    Does the magic mouse work with an ipad?

    bburik, I do not think so. Ipad is all touch screen, and the pointer will not show up on the ipad. The ipad is made to only be touch screen. But what you can do, is buy an external keyboard for the ipad, and then you can at least type with an actuall keyboard. But no magic mouse.

  • How Do You Rename the Magic Mouse's Actual Name (Not the Display Name)

    Hi. The Magic Mouse's display name is Servant777 but it's actual name is really something like mouse no. 1 which I take was from the store that first paired the mouse to test it ( I usually have it tested first after buying things, not all the time but sometimes, can't remember, it was 3 years ago).
    How do you kind of "reset" the Magic Mouse like it's the first time it's being used and paired. I've tried: disconnecting and removing it from the bluetooth preference as well the on in the Mouse settings. It'd be nice if there's some kind of reset but it doesn't change the actual name, only the disply name could be changed. Is there any Terminal command for this?
    Thank you in advance. Have a great upcoming sunday mass/great weekend.
    God bless,
    Alvin

  • Does the Magic Mouse Laser Light Up?

    I was having a bit of trouble with my Magic Mouse and it was not tracking properly. A battery change seems to have helped. But I looked at the underside of the mouse and did not see any light coming from the optical port. For the life of me I cannot remember if the Magic Mouse is supposed to have a red laser light visible on its underside or not. Can anyone help with the answer?
    Regards,
    Steve M.

    Steve,
    The Magic Mouse doesn't have a visible laser light, just the green power light.
