Any issue about Apple Bluetooth mouse ???

Hello there
I was reading so many issues about the Apple Bluetooth mouse in the Apple Store page for this item.
I was reading it because i want to change my Kensington PilotMouse for the Apple mouse. Actually i have so many issues with the PilotMouse, like the lately wake up on the sytem startup, battery eater and so many times work in slowly way.
I don't want nothing of this with the Apple mouse and i read all of this in the feedback pages. I love the 3 buttoms from the PilotMouse but i prefer the technically "no problem way" from Apple.
Any of you know any issue about the Apple Bluetooth mouse (before go to store for one) ???
I have a good experience with the Apple Bluetooth keyboard (i have one), but i don't know nothing about the mouse.
Thanks for any recommendations or comment about this item.

Hello junihh:
I use one myself and it has performed flawlessly. I have no other data except my personal experience.
If you scan this forum, you will find posts about problems. Those are not representative - only people with problems post.

The chemicals or materials from inside the batteries can cause circuit
damage in the mouse, the mouse may need to be replaced. You may
have to check with the battery manufacturers customer relations to see
if they offer guarantees covering products damaged those batteries...
And those chemicals may remain as a health concern since the mouse
cannot be subjected to washing, since there are electrical parts inside.
How old is the mouse, and how old are the batteries?
Some products have a limited warranty or guaranty.
In some locations, that may be longer than in others.
Were the batteries rechargeable or disposable?
I'd consult an Apple Store and genius bar about the mouse and issues
or concerns about the cause (or blame?) of the leaking batteries, or
which way to go in that matter. I cannot suggest what else to do; we're
not Apple representatives, but in a retail Apple Store they have options.
Good luck & happy computing!

Using an Apple Bluetooth mouse with a pc

Is it possible to use the Apple Bluetooth mouse with a pc and windows XP using WIDCOMM. I've tried to connect mine and although the pc sees the mouse, it tries to pair using a security code. This is despite the fact that it later says a security code is not required! Anyone got any experience of this?

Problem solved. Security code 0000 entered, mouse paired with pc and everything worked beautifully.

Opinion on Mighty Mouse & Original Apple Bluetooth Mouse

I just received my bluetooth Mighty Mouse today and I have to say it's an excellent mouse!
Pros:
Compared to the original Apple Bluetooth Mouse, this one is lighter (much lighter). It also tracks better than the original Apple Bluetooth Mouse. My desktop is a piece of grey plastic and with the original mouse, it was not able to track at all. With the new wireless Mighty Mouse, it works just fine!
I also love how one can zoom in by control-scrolling. Excellent feature!
Almost everything works well.
Cons:
Like others have said before, the one minor complaint is the side squeeze buttons. Only if the squeeze buttons were just slightly less tight. But I would not say this negative is any reason to not get the Mighty Mouse.
Also, unlike the original bluetooth mouse which has a slider to adjust the pressure of the click button, this one does not come with that feature. Not a big deal, nevertheless.
Good job, Apple!

It's not for any help, but me too have the same problem.
My mighty mouse, lose connection in a random way with my MacBook Pro 17" Unibody.
I've an iMac at home, with another mighty mouse, so I try to exchange the two, but any one of the two mouse work right with the iMac and have the same problem with the MBP.
Maybe for 1/2 day, there is no problem, and after that in an hour the lose connection happen 2/3 times.
I try like you to delete the .plist file and reset PRAM but the only difference is that now the bluetooth icon in the menu bar correctly shows the three dots of the connection, but as always at random, the mouse stops working and the pointer remains stationary on the screen.
The only solution is to manually disconnect and then click a button on the mouse to reconnect.
My only hope is that with the arrival of Snow Leopard and the next "clean installation" the problem disappears.
I'm sorry can't give you any help.

Airport Locks with non-Apple Bluetooth Mouse

I have an iBook 12" G4 1.33GHz 1.5GB RAM, internal Airport Extreme, Bluetooth, etc.
I have tried several non-Apple Bluetooth mice and they create the same problem: Airport stops working and when I put the mouse pointer on the menubar Airport icon it turns into a spinning disk. I have looked in the log files but can't see anything useful. I have to reset the computer to get it to work properly again. If I use an Apple bluetooth mouse this does not ever happen. I am trying to use the same Logitech mouse that I have used perfectly well for over a year on my Apple Mini G4.
Any ideas anybody?

Try configuring your base station to operate on a different channel. Change the channel until you find a channel that works better or you run out of channels.

Really slow and jerky cursor with my apple bluetooth mouse, can you help?

hey.
i have the apple bluetooth mouse and keyboard, they were working perfectly (keyboard still does) until they ran out of batteries one day. i reverted to the wired set up and (lazily) didn't get batteries for a while (month or so). When i did the keyboard responds as before but the mouse is painfully jerky and slow. i have re-paired the mouse and changed the batteries twice, it is so annoying i now use the bluetotth keyboard and wired mouse. any advice/suggestions gratefully recieved.
many thanks.
james

it is so frustrating isn't it. i now sit looking at the bluetooth mouse whilst getting tangled up in the cable of the wired mouse!! i was going to buy the new wireless mighty mouse hoping that that would solve/bypass the problem but reading what you have all put is definately making me wary of that. it seems so simple doesn"t it, nice uncluttered desk, pretty foolproof technology. if only... seems that no matter how clever these things get they are still not smart enough. i have been looking elsewhere for solutions but no luck as of yet, if i find any i'll let you know.
regards,
james

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!

My apple bluetooth mouse is not being recognized by my macbook air - and it was yesterday!

My apple bluetooth mouse was working perfectly with my macbook air until I had to change the batteries. Now it is not discoverable and I really can't operate without a mouse. I tried another logitech usb mouse and that was not discoverable either. Please help!

Today, when I turned on my iMac, neither my bluetooth mouse or keyboard were recognized. I had to connect my old USB keyboard-mouse to type this message.
And yes, I restarted my iMac, didn't help.
Can someone help?
PS: Barry, "resetting SMC" doesn't help

Is there any site about Apple`s softwares and interface projects?

I `d like to know if anyone as links to any site about Apple projects, research etc. For the next development of applications, OSX, etc?
Something like Mozilla labs that shows projects and ideas..
Many thanks.

Mozilla is open source and transparent. Apple is closed source and proprietary. However, you can gather a lot of information by joining Apple Developers Connection (http://developer.apple.com/). Some levels will provide access to pre-release software and hardware. Fees do apply.
There are some other options however. Safari is based on WebKit and you can follow that project here (http://webkit.org/). In addition, Apple has opened up a lot of projects that can be traced here (http://developer.apple.com/opensource/index.html), and finally there is also MAc OS Forge which contains some additional projects (http://www.macosforge.org/). Also, many of Apple's technologies are integrated from Open Source projects (LDAP, Kerberos, Bind, etc). Following development from the project providers also gives good insight into the direction that Apple is going
Hope this helps.

Apple Bluetooth Mouse Problems ?

Hi my bluetooth mouse is really playing up, for example when i move the mouse the tracking is really off... i have to keep disconnecting then reconnecting to make it work propley.....
i just repaired the bluetooth connection 6 times to make the mouse work properly.... Has any one had this problem, if so what is the fix ? Also my wifi card has failed i do know the bluetooth card is on top of the wifi card maybe thats casuing the problems?
Also i have purchased a liace usb 3.0 portable harddrive i did read some where that usb3.0 does interfere with bluetooth connections on macbooks i could be wrong ? Thanks

Hi, Colin!
The most closely related Apple KnowledgeBase articles to what you've described that come to mind are:
• Apple Wireless Mouse: How to Install or Replace Batteries
• Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Wireless Mouse: How to Check the Battery Level
• Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse: Troubleshooting Connection Issues
• Bluetooth: How to Set Up Your Apple Wireless Mouse. [1]
These articles are a good place to start with troubleshooting this problem.
When you're having trouble with your iMac G5, searching the KnowledgeBase can often be a big help. Notice that several categories of resources are available. If you have any difficulty at first adjusting to the search engine (I did), check out the ~new Search Help webpage.
I'll post back a little later with some further comments about what I've observed of my (& other folks') difficulties and solutions with changing batteries and reconnecting, etc.
Please post back to share your progress and to discuss this further.
Hang in there!
Warm regards,
Dean
[1] Please note that having a backup "wired" mouse may be required to resolve Bluetooth connection problems. As the "How to Set Up..." article cited above says:"Use a Wired USB Keyboard and Mouse During Setup
 During the setup process, you'll need to use a USB mouse before the Apple Wireless Mouse can work. Keep a USB mouse connected to the computer until you've completed setting up the Apple Wireless Mouse. After setup is complete, you can disconnect the USB mouse."
In my experience, a "wired" keyboard is only required when there's a connection problem for which using a startup keyboard shortcut is a critical troubleshooting tool. (Some of the startup key combinations for Intel-based Macs are different.)

Apple bluetooth mouse slow, possibly even sluggish?

Ok, my bluetooth apple mouse has started to annoy me, it seems to be quite slow (i usually use a MS wirless mouse, but decided to try out the apple one again) basically its just quite slow and very hard to move it just a small distance.
To fix it I have:
cleaned the optical sensor
changed batteries
moved it to fastest tracking speed
re-set it
used it on different surfaces
updated bluetooth firmware
basically everything I can think of but no joy, it still seems slow, is there anything I can do or is it likely to need to be replaced?
Also my microsoft one is on full speed, and its just about right although i would like it a bit faster, is there anything I can do?
also what does the small + and - switch do its the one under the battery cover
Cheers for the help guys

I am experiencing the same issue. I have done a good bit of troubleshooting to narrow down the problem, and i wanted to share those results with this thread in hopes that we can come to a conclusion and hopefully fix it.
First off, this issue seems to be isolated to bluetooth wireless devices and wireless network traffic. I have a Logitech G7 bluetooth wireless mouse, and my Macbook is the 5.1 version
I have seen other threads that are trying to blame their mouse lag on their monitor, and have said that plugging the monitor's power to a different wall jack fixed their problem. This made no difference in my situation. Even having my External monitor completely out of the loop, i still experienced issues with bluetooth mouse + traffic over the wireless causing significant hitching and lagging of the mouse during the period of the traffic (i.e. copying 500mb file over network).
When i have my bluetooth mouse hooked up and i am copying a large file over the wireless, it lags horribly. If i take my hand and use the trackpad on the laptop itself *during the same copy*, it works fine... it is ONLY the bluetooth mouse.
If i hook an ethernet cable directly to the laptop, all issues with lag are gone when i use the network.
So to recap:
ethernet cable + bluetooth mouse + network traffic = no mouse lag
wireless ethernet + trackpad + network traffic = no mouse lag
wireless ethernet + bluetooth mouse + network traffic = HORRIBLE MOUSE LAG
ON TOP OF THAT.... the issue is EXACTLY the same in Vista as it is in OSX

Apple Bluetooth mouse battery replacement

What is the best procedure to replace the batteries in the Apple blue tooth mouse? When ever I get the "LOW BATT" signal on the mouse, I need to shut down the computer first, replace the batteries, restart the computer (G5). If I try to flip the mouse over to replace the batteries while the computer is still on the mouse will not re-connect to the computer.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Hi again, Max!
I heartily apologize on two fronts:
I neglected to voice a warm welcome to Apple Discussions!
Absolutely no apologies are required on your part. My mistake in assuming; I'm happy to explain what I know.
To find out about your Bluetooth Firmware and lots more! Go to the blue Apple menu and select the first choice, "About This Mac." Exciting, huh? Then click on "More Info." This will open a very useful application called "System Profiler." (Fyi, the application is actually located inside the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on your HD.)
With Profiler open, look at the left-hand part of the pane. Click (if necessary) to turn the gray triangle beside "Hardware" so its point is pointing down instead of to the right. Select Bluetooth from the list thus uncovered, and you'll see a lot of data on the right-hand side. (This procedure also holds for a lot of other data that may be viewed via the System Profiler. Relevant parts of this info may be helpful to know and convey when you ask for help here or from a technician.)
Now, this may be a little confusing... Your iMac G5's Firmware version is shown within the Bluetooth data we've just found. Yours probably reads "3.1xxx" (xxx perhaps being 965, but I'm not sure). Anyway, you may want to download and run Bluetooth Firmware Updater 1.2 as a check that your firmware is up to date. More in a minute on this.
But for some reason, the Bluetooth software version isn't clearly shown here. (I guess because it's the "Hardware" part of the profile Duh but still.) Since we're here, move down within System Preferences to Software. There are quite a few Bluetooth-related software components let's just check one or two: e.g., under "Applications," you'll see "Bluetooth Explorer" and under "Extensions," you'll see "IOBluetoothFamily" among others. I believe the current versions for these apps 1.6 (it is for my eMac).
Fyi, the current Bluetooth software download page is here. You can check for future updates via the main Bluetooth Support page.
Back to Firmware Updating for a moment. Fwiw, I had an interesting experience running the Firmware Updater myself recently some of the minutae may help explain the process if and when you decide to try this or future updaters. You can read about it here.
I hope this makes sense, and adds more clarity than confusion. Ask away as needed,
Sincerely,
Dean

Issue with Logitech Bluetooth mouse

Hi everyone!
I have some problems in correctly configuring my Logitech v270 bluetooth mouse. I followed all the steps in http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth_Mouse, but I still can't connect automatically at startup. Each time I boot my laptop, I must type
/etc/rc.d/bluetooth stop
/etc/rc.d/bluetooth start
at the root prompt to get it work.
Please note that I also completed this step: I added to my /etc/rc.local this line:
hidd --connect <enter here your bluetooth mouse address (No capitals!!!)>
Some ideas?
Thank you!

Same issue, been a problem since I purchased last Christmas. Sometimes I want to throw this piece of crap out and buy a mac. Lenovo, get your head out of your ass.

TS3048 Mountain lion and old apple bluetooth mouse sync problems

I just purchased the a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion installed. I am trying to pair it with my old bluetooth mouse modle number A1197 with the small scroll ball at the top. I cannot get my computer to recognize this mouse at all. Is there any solution or do I just have to buy a new mouse? The mouse still works fine and has not difficulty synchronizing with my desktop --but Mountain Lion is not yet installed on the Desktop.

A Bluetooth device may only pair with one thing at a time.
