Apple bluetooth wireless mouse

My Apple bluetooth wireless mouse loses it's connection when my computer goes to sleep. Before SL I could wake my computer with my mouse. Now I can't because the mouse doesn't have a connection. It seems that sleep turns off bluetooth connectivity.
I am using 10.6.1

I was having system crashes to, but after allowing "wake from sleep" everything was fine - for a while.
NOW my mouse works in that it moves the cursor around the screen, but it doesn't click. I've given up and gone back to my wired mouse. The wired mouse works just fine - it just has a tether.
I read that there is a new mouse in the works - maybe that will help. For some weird reason, I've noticed over the years that as new product is about to be introduced or is very new, my old product develops hiccups. I have a paranoid suspicion that software is updated to accommodate the new without understanding all the relationships with the old.
Try checking your crash logs and see if there is a consistent thread involved.

  • Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard not Connecting to iPad

    Hey, I try to connect my Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard is not connecting to my iPad. I tap Bluetooth "On" and it searches for devices. Then I slide the switch on the back of my keyboard to the green light and the iPad picks it up and says "Not Paired." So I tap the keyboard and it just spins and spins and spins until the keyboard times out and powers off. Then it disappears and my iPad can't find any devices. I repeated the process several times and I got the same result.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks

    I had a very similar problem, with a new model wireless keyboard. The set-up is not very intuitive (and the instructions for both the iPad and the keyboard are not particularly helpful). Here's how I got it to work:
    1. If the keyboard has already been paired with another object -- e.g., I was testing out my iMac keyboard -- you should be completely out of range of that other object (more than 30 feet away).
    2. Make sure Bluetooth on the iPad is disabled.
    3. The keyboard should not be "on" -- i.e., no solid green light.
    4. Press and hold the power button on the keyboard until you get a blinking green light. This should take just a few seconds.
    5. Turn on Bluetooth on the iPad.
    6. At this point, it should detect the keyboard and instruct you to enter a combination of keys to pair the two devices.
    I found that you have to follow this sequence or it won't work. For example, if you have Bluetooth on on the iPad before holding the power button on the keyboard, it won't work.
    I hope that helps.

  • My new apple bluetooth wireless keyboard types a "j" when I hit "k" and a "k" when i hit "j".  Any ideas?

    My new apple bluetooth wireless keyboard types a "j" when I hit "k" and a "k" when i hit "j".  Any ideas?

    HellO:
    I would not waste time trying to troubleshoot the problem.  Since it is new, call Applecare with a warranty problem.  I had a similar problem with a new KB some time ago and it was replaced at no cost (shipping included).

  • 10.6.4 Macbook Pro will no longer connect to Apple bluetooth keyboard/mouse

    I installed the 10.6.4 update and my MacBook Pro 17" froze after a while. I rebooted and now the bluetooth will not connect or my Apple wireless keyboard or Mighty Mouse. I can also no longer turn the bluetooth off.
    Anyone else having problems?

    Same thing happened to me. I had the same problem updating from 10.6.2 to 10.6.3 also.
    I was able to fix it again (in the update from 10.6.3 to 10.6.4) using the same approach:
    Look in both /Library/Preferences (the library folder at the root level of your hard drive) and ~/Library/Preferences (the library folder inside your user folder). Delete the file com.apple.Bluetooth.plist from both locations then shut down the computer fully before restarting.
    It is important to click shut down (and not just restart). I don't know why, but it won't work if you just click restart.

  • TS3048 Genuine Apple Bluetooth Wireless keyboard - Model A1016

    I was given an iMac M6498, wireless keyboard Model A1016 and wireless mouse. The first time I plugged the iMac, the keyboard worked perfectly and the sencond time, it stopped working and it is not recognised. I have changed the batteries and still it's not working.

    They should work.   You do not say if your problem is with the mouse, the keyboard or both. Is there a green power light showing and is it flickering?  
    Here are some Apple comments on the mouse.

    It may require re-pairing.   For that, go to Systems Prefs > Bluetooth.

  • Recommendations for a Bluetooth/wireless mouse that is not a MIghty Mouse

    I'm tired of having problems with my Bluetooth mighty mouse, and want to know what other people are using for a Bluetooth or wireless mouse. IMO, the trackball on the Mighty Mouse is a major design flaw, that is easily clogged with dirt or dust, and the frequent cleaning is either time consuming, or not very effective. I've tried pretty much everything ever suggested in these forums to fix the Mighty Mouse, and I'm to the point where I'd just rather something else, preferably a traditional two-button design, with a scroll wheel.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    I give the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 five stars. Yeah, I know, how can MM from Apple be so bad, and anything from MS be great. The 8000 is a full 5-button mouse, 4-way scrolling, programmable, rechargeable, bluetooth mouse. Pairs easily with the bluetooth on my iBook or iMac. You can find it for around $60, but get this. You don't need the BT dongle, so sell it on eBay and recover your $60.
    Microsoft doesn't officially support the 8000 on Mac, but Mac drivers come on the CD. You install the CD drivers, then download Intellipoint 6.1 and install only the mouse for full functionality.

  • Using Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboard/mouse with a MacBook

    What is required to use a MacBook with the Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse?
    -- i.e., what 'setup' is required to get the MacBook to recognize those devices and respond to input from them?
    Thanks.

    To be able to use the mouse and keyboard to full effect, such as key combos on boot and all the mouse buttons, its best to install the drivers from the cd that came with the mouse and keyboard.

  • Apple bluetooth Keyboard/mouse + gaming?

    Hello,
    I've been trying to find this info on the net but haven't been able to so far...
    Can anyone with Apple's bluetooth keyboard tell me if its response time is quick enough to make gaming possible?
    Thanks
    Loa

    Hello,
    Thanks for the input Martin. I'm not a hardcore gamer either, but I'd really hate to see some lag from the keyboard or mouse...
    2 quick questions: do you get any connection problems with either of them? And are there USB ports on the wireless keyboard?
    Thanks

  • Apple Bluetooth Mighty Mouse

    I have a Bluetooth Mouse on my MacBook. It generally runs just fine. Recently is stopped scrolling UP....down is fine. I replaced batteries, re-synced to Bluetooth...repeated several times....will not scroll up.
    Other forums discuss cleaning track ball and scroll ball....and have mixed up topics between wired and wireless and make sorting which solution is best for the BT mouse ONLY......
    Anyone....?? PLease ......

    Try asking in the MacBook Pro forum. This forum is for older Apple hardware (generally pre-G3) and so not the place you'll be most likely to get help. Note that if you search the forums for "Mighty Mouse clean" you'll probably find several threads on the subject already.
    Good luck.

  • Apple's wireless mouse and keyboard

    I ordered my Intel-iMac with the wireless option. Since then I purchased the wireless Mighty Mouse also. Neither one is recognized after starting up until I click them several times. I know the wireless keyboard is paired at startup because the option key works to select an alternate startup volume.
    I've used several wireless setups on Wintel PCs at work and have not had this problem. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?

    Have you checked your Bluetooth Settings?
    Under Sys Pref go to Bluetooth.
    You may have to tweak the settings there.

  • Apple Bluetooth / Wireless Keyboard Low-Battery Indicator?

    Hi All,
    Does the iPad show a low-battery indicator when the Apple wireless keyboard is running out of juice? I know OS X is supposed to, but not sure about iOS. I plan to use my keyboard for meetings and depositions where I'd be in a tight spot if I ran out of juice unexpectedly.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    No, but, "The Apple Wireless Keyboard requires just two AA batteries — one less than the previous model. And its intelligent power management system conserves battery life. *So when you’re not using the keyboard, it automatically powers down. The instant you start typing, it turns back on*. Use the on/off switch when you're away from your computer for a long time."
    From here. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC184LL/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    Carry a spare set of AA batteries just in case.

  • Windows 7 (Boot Camp) on iMac w/ Apple Bluetooth Keyboard & Mouse

    Anyone get this to work consistantly? I have tried multiple different ways with no success. Sometimes it works for a bit then quits but never completely working. Any help would be apprieciated.

    For Macs with built-in Optical drives, changing the Bootcamp info.plist allows a USB to be created, but the second problem is left unsolved. Bootcamp Assistant has code, which tells the CSM-BIOS layer to boot from a specific device path, which is the Optical drive. This needs to be changed in the NVRAM, and the simplest method is to hold Alt key before BA switches to BIOS mode and tells the Mac to boot from DVD. This is not 100% successful in all cases, but you can try it.
    I wish the Apple engineers had another BA key in this info.plist, which was WindowsBootDevice == USB/OD/SomeOtherDevice and users could change it or put it on the BA UI.
    OD failures are a pain, especially on iMacs. Windows installer does not like an external OD, so it is a pain.
    If you have a second Mac which does not require an OD, Winclone can be used to move an installed BC partition to another mac, but it is a more expensive option.

  • TS3092 My Apple bluetooth wireless keyboard caps lock keeps changing so that sometimes the caps are on when the lights on and sometimes the caps are on when the light is off. How do I control this?

    My caps lock keeps changing. That is, sometimes the caps are locked and the light is on the key and sometimes the caps are on when the light is off. It changes without my knowing it. Also when I hold the shift key down I hear a double click noise which changes the keys in some way. How do I get it to not change?

    Try resetting SMC and NVRAP and then reboot.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    Try booting the Recovery Partition.  Power off, boot and then hold down the Command and R keys.  Is the screen still black?  If so it is not a software problem so take it in for diagnosis and repairs.  Make a Genius Bar reservation http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ or find an Apple Authorized Service Provider https://locate.apple.com/country .
    If you are running Mavericks try upgrading to 10.9.2.  It has a fix for black screen problems.

  • Pairing Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboard with Samsung A-900 phone

    I figured out how to pair my Samsung A-900 phone with my bluetooth keyboard.
    1) Turn keboard off and then back on
    2) on keyboard type "1234" and then press the "return" key
    3) search and attempt to pair with keyboard from phone
    4) put in the password "1234"
    5) it will take a long time with the pairing screen, so I just repeated step 2 here
    6) Pairing sucessfull!
    but after that I cant seem to figure out how to type....
    Any help with the typing issue? at least they are paired ^_^

    What I've gathered so far:
    It has paired with it, made it a registered device, but it has no idea what it is and thus will not connect with it.

  • Anybody using an Apple wireless mouse on the Mac Mini ?

    Just bought the bluetooth wireless mouse and keyboard for my new Mac mini core due. The performance of the wireless mouse is disappointing. I believe the timing gap between the hand movement with the cursor movement on the screen is far too long so it is difficult to control the mouse smoothly. I have been using radio type wireless mouse on other PCs and the Apple wireless mouse is the worst mouse I have ever used. Don't know whether anybody here has smiliar experience. Any recommendation to retify or improve this?? I'm happy with the new Mac mini though, and the wirelss keyboard is only okay ( it loses connection with the Mac occassionally even in short distance).

    I had a same trouble in my Core Duo 1.66. I posted the same message in Apple Japan Discussions. There is no reply. Then, I checked U.S. Discussions and find your message.
    First, I think a low battery issue in Apple wireless mous, but not. The mous was working for Mini G4. I asked replacement the Mini, then I got another new one. It had the same trouble.
    I found It depends on a distance between Mini and the mous.
    <30cm, it worked perfect.
    <div class="jive-quote">30, <50cm, it did not work anytime, cursor movement was not smooth.
    1m, it did not work smooth, every time cursor was skipping on the monitor.</div>
    I tried it on two new Minis. Mini G4, it works perfectly even it is >5m.
    I believe that it is bletooth issue.
    Could you check the distance dependance between Mini and the mous.
    Finally, I returned the Core Duo 1.66 and refund. If This issue is solved, New Mini performance will be good enough for me.
