Any Way to Automate a Bluetooth Connection to a Specific Device?

I have 3 Magic Mice that I keep in three different work areas where I use my late 2010 MacBook Air.  All mice have already been paired with the MBA.
Sometimes when I boot up in a different location, the computer will quickly initiate a connection with the Magic Mouse in that location.  Other times, I have to manually use the Bluetooth menu in the finder to initiate a connection with that mouse.
Is there any way to automate (Applescript, Automator, Terminal Command within an Applescript, Keyboard shortcut, etc.) a connection to a Bluetooth device that has already been paired with a Mac?
Thanks.

Barry,
Thank you.  When I transferred all my info from my previous computer to my MacBook Air, I ended up deleting all my Bluetooth preferences because of some issues.  I thought I made my Magic Mice favorites again, but I didn't.  Hopefully that will make a difference.  I wouldn't have checked without your reply, so THANK YOU.
Scott

  • When downloading iTunes onto a new computer, is there any way to automatically import old music files? Last time I got a new computer I didn't have to use an external drive to update my music library.

    When downloading iTunes onto a new computer, is there any way to automatically important songs from your previous computer? I recently cracked the screen on my computer and cannot access any files. Last time I got a new computer my iTunes media files automatically appeared in my iTunes when I downloaded it, and I did not have to use my external drive. Is this still possible?

    If your backup copy of the old computer was not stolen, then use it to put everything back.

  • Is there any way to turn my Bluetooth LED on again?

    My Bluetooth is working (send/receive).
    But the Bluetooth LED indicator doesn't on.
    Anyone got the same problem?

    Bluetooth Firmware's version is 299 and the software is 7kbf09ww.

    I thought that too, but I am 100% sure it is not now.
    I made it light on again some times, by reinstall XP and did some configure of wireless and Bluetooth.
    I just can't make it light on again in the recent couple try.
    I am thinking about the firmware problems.
    ( After I got problem with Bluetooth firmware update, some times ago. I got this problem)
    Is there any way to refresh my Bluetooth firmware back to version 208?
    Bluetooth is working fine. Just don't feel good about that indicator is not working.

  • Is there any way to make an iPad3 connect to the internet in an Extended Verizon area?

    Is there any way to make an iPad3 connect to the internet in an Extended Verizon area?

    If you have the prepaid 3G account, no. The prepaid service, the kind activated directly from the iPad only works on Verizon's own network. You'd need to change to the month-to-month postpaid service to roam on the extended network. Call customer service about changing it over. You will need to do a credit check but there is no contract.

    hi Rohit,
    If you want to delete old data automatically, I think you need develop this feature by yourself. You could code the logic methods on your project, and set a timer to execute the methods to delete old data. Please refer to this thread (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13602629/is-it-possible-to-acces-a-table-storage-in-azure-from-an-azure-web-site
    ), you could operate table storage data using azure sdk or REST API.
    Please try it.

  • I have just signed upfor family sharing. Is there any way you can get the same app on two devices but not have to share it? My sons both want clash of clans but they don't want to be on the same village and they can't both be on app at the same time?

    hi, the app is not "shared", it works as if you bought the app twice with different accounts, only you paid it once. they should have 2 different villages since they're on 2 different devices.

  • HT201304 I need to restrict access to Settings on an iPad so settings like VoiceOver cannot be activated while letting them access multiple apps on the device. Is their any way to restrict access to settings without locking the device with a PIN?

    I need to restrict access to Settings on an iPad so settings like VoiceOver cannot be activated while letting them access multiple apps on the device. Is their any way to restrict access to settings without locking the device with a PIN?
    This is so our guests cannot tamper or disable the device. We are already using Apple Configurator but their does not seem to be a way to lock down settings without a PIN.

    There's a lot of restrictions information in Chapter 19 of the 4.2 User Guide.

    By the way, a more extensive version of the User Manual is available at no charge through iBooks.

  • Is there any way to get .wav files to play on iOS devices?

    Is there any way to get .wav files to play on iOS devices? I know some apps can play .wav however I was looking to have safari load a suitable player as needed, but it shows a audio file with a line across it... and does not play the file. Any workaround? Thanks,
    Fabio

    Hi James,
    That is very helpful, thanks. However, that ends up presenting two other problems...
    Initially, the original .wav file has to be downloaded somewhere, how does one download a file from Safari to the phone and then open the file with the app? Is there any way to configure iOS to always use an app for a particular file type? How does iOS handle file types? Do you know why safari does not allow add-ons? Can I configure another app as the 'default' browser?
    Once again, thanks for pointing this out.
    Best wishes

  • Is there any way to access my contacts from a non apple device?

    Is there any way to access my contacts from a non apple device?
    I am waiting on my new phone to arrive but in the mean time can I access my contacts from a non apple device? Please help!

    If you synced them to iCloud, you can view them on icloud.com from your computer.  They can also be accessed from an Android device using SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts.  Or, you can download them from iCloud as a vCard (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606), then import them to another service such as Google in order to sync them with a non-Apple device.

  • Is there any way to schedule an Internet connection reset?

    Hello.
    I live in a three-story house and have a Wi-Fi network set up using a Time Capsule and a couple of AirPort Express units. The Time Capsule, which is connected to the modem and is the initiator of the network, is on the second floor and there’s an AirPort Express each on both the first and third floors.
    In India, we do not have the luxury of high speed unlimited access to the Internet. We can either opt for a 2Mbps connection (yeah, +scorching fast+, I know) that is capped at 2.5GB and allows unlimited access between 02:00 AM and 08:00 AM each day, or a 512Kbps unlimited connection.
    Right now, I’m subscribed to the latter, but I made the mistake of traveling to the USA recently and, after having gotten used to the 16Mbps speeds for a month, I just cannot tolerate the incredibly slow speeds anymore.
    Therefore, I’m thinking of switching to the 2Mbps connection. Since I download a lot of stuff though, I need to find a way to have the Internet connection automatically disconnect and reconnect at 02:00 AM and then get disconnected at 08:00 AM. Is there any way to get this done?
    Putting my Mac to sleep and have it automatically wake up at 02:00 AM won’t work because the Internet connection will still remain connected on the Time Capsule and I will still get charged for the nighttime downloading. Is there any way to have my Time Capsule do the job for me—some Automator script or something, perhaps?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    How would that help though? I need the Internet connection to be reset, so that a new session starts after 02:00 AM, which will then be counted among the happy hours and won’t be chargeable. Restricted my Mac from accessing the wireless network is not the solution here.
    Thanks for trying to come up with a solution though. Do let me know if you think of any other alternative.

  • Any way to re-try to connect when connection fails

    Hi
    I developed SSIS 2014 packages importing data from MySQL to MS SQL 2014. 
    It is scheduled to run every 3 hours and sometimes it fails to connect to MYSQL (no problem with MS SQL) and it is always ok in the next run. As it is always ok in the next run, I think there is nothing wrong with the package itself. I believe it is a temporary
    network issue.
    To overcome it, I want the package to re-try to connect in every 30 seconds (or 1 min) for the next 5 times.
    Is there any way to do this in SSIS 2014? Below is the screenshot of .Net MYSQL data connector I am using. I thought there might be something I can do in there but can't figure it out. I don't think there is a option to do it.
    Any suggestions?

    Thank you. 
    I will try it out..  
    If its executing the package from a job you can set retry attempts inside job step properties so that it will try it again after the first failed attempt. You can give a number based on how many times you want to retry it and also define a retry interval
    to impose a delay betweeb two consecutive retries.

  • Nokia 1020 - any way to get an internet connection...

    There doesn't seem to be any way to get networking via BT.
    As a possibly separate issue, I can connect to my Nokia 808 over BT and they pair up OK, but the 1020 doesn't see any network, dial-up or any other service like that in the 808.
    Every windows laptop and even a win8.0 Lenovo tablet can connect to the 808 over BT, and all but win8.x devices can also do it over wifi (Joikuspot). Why can't the win8.1 Nokia phone do this?

    In that case, what methods *are* available on the 1020 for getting an internet connection, other than using
    - built-in GSM/3G/4G, or
    - built-in WIFI (infrastructure mode only)
    Can one do it via USB?
    Why is adhoc WIFI or bluetooth insecure, for a personal temporary internet connection, from another device, used typically while travelling and used to make sure that roaming costs are contained within the one device on which there is a decent roaming data package?
    Currently the only way I see is a 3G-WIFI modem (e.g. the E585) with a locally puchased data SIM inside it, but such deals are available only in some countries in Europe. They also tend to be really difficult to purchase e.g. in Greece you spend an hour or two in a phone shop, proving your identity with a passport and other documents.
    Was this done because the networks (who own the phone shops) insisted on it, as a condition of carrying the phone in their shops?
