Apple magic mouse keeps losing connection with Macbook pro

I have a 2012 macbook pro, after upgrading to Mavericks(10.9.1, not have any other 3rd party software,just pure OS X), my magic mouse always losing bluetooth connection suddenly every one or two days. When losing connection, I found the bluetooth chipset type showing in macbook system information changed to unkown (FFFF). I have contacted with apple global support, and also have not gotten the solution. Just cleaning cache, and ect. but still didn't work.
When I downgrading the OS X to 10.8.5 Mountain Lion, same macbook, same magic mouse, work very well. Never happened lose connection issue during one and a half month. So, it should be a Mavericks bluetooth driver's issue, or something reletived.
Any body have some good idea in solving this issue?
Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem with a 2007 MacBook Pro on Snow Leopard. As soon as I changed the mouse's batteries, it started losing connection every few seconds. The mouse came with Energizer batteries originally - they supposedly don't fit well, but the mouse worked fine. I exchanged them with Duracell, which gave problems. Now I have Varta batteries installed, they give problems too. The paper-trick doesn't work for me.
Quite franky, I think it's rediculous that a fancy €69,- wireless mouse is so fussy about batteries. It's impossible to work with it. Is this just another way for Apple to get people to buy their batteries? I think a mouse this expensive should accept any and all batteries. Please, Apple: fix it. Seems like a really simple matter. Just put longer and stronger springs in the contacts for the negative poles.
Thanks.

Why does my Magic Mouse keep losing connection?

I've had my Magic Mouse for about 6 months now. I use it with my MacBook Pro RD. It works fine most of the time but every now and then it would lose connection for anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes. This happens even with newly replaced batteries so I know it's not a battery problem. I really expected better from what I thought would be a high quality mouse from Apple.
I am thinking of sending it back to be repaired or something, but when I entered its serial number to check the warranty status, I get the error "We're sorry, but this serial number is not valid. Please check your information and try again." In fact, the serial number printed on my mouse's battery compartment has 17 characters but the support page here only allows you to enter a 14-character serial number! What is going on?

I was having the same problem and found another thread with the solution. Basically the problem is some batteries do not fit tightly in the compartment and jiggle around causing the mouse to lose power and therefore the connection. The solution is either buy the apple rechareable batteries or wedge a piece of paper in between the batteries and the compartment lid (I used a bit on an index card fold over on itself). Once I did that = no more lost connection every 10 minutes.
The thread I'm referring to is here:

Posting in case someone else (like I did) comes here looking for an answer.

Magic Mouse keeps losing connection.

This is NOT a batteries issue. I use a mobee Magic Charger in place of batteries. Charge is at 100%.
I removed it from Bluetooth devices and re-"found" it, have rebooted since. I re-set the PRAM.
There are no other Bluetooth devices normally in the same room, nor any wireless or cell phones - other than a wireless Apple keyboard (also set up with a mobee charger) - which I assume would be made not to interfere with an Apple wireless mouse.
Using an iMac, Intell, OS 10.7.5
Mouse drops out several time a day with a "connection lost" message. It acts like it has lost power - I can set it on the charging plate for a few minutes, then try again, and it usually comes back.
But, I made sure to charge it fully last week, and it only lasted about 20 minutes. In systems preferences the mouse shows 100% charge. Yet, just now, it lost connection after about a minute of use.

What you are asking is to essentially debug a Mobee magic charger problem (not, IMHO, a Bluetooth problem or a mouse problem). Like any other product, the Mobee battery pack has a 1/2 life. Mobee's web site has this information:
http://www.mobeetechnology.com/support.html?catid=11&kbartid=35
You have a couple of options:
1. Place "regular" batteries in the device and see what happens. That would eliminate the Mobee device as a problem area.
2. Replace the Mobee battery pack.

P.S. The Mobee web site also has a post from a user indicating the charge data is incorrect (when using the Mobee device).

Wireless Mighty Mouse won't connect with MacBook Pro in Bootcamp

I recently swapped my Bootcamp-partitioned hard drive from an older Core Duo MacBook to a late-2007 Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro. I had no problem using the wireless mouse with the MacBook. I'd click on the Windows desktop once it booted up and it worked flawlessly.
But on the newer MacBook Pro it won't stay connected. I have to pair it with the Windows Bluetooth control panel each time I log in.
I'm not sure if this is connected to the issue or not, but I'm not able to use the trackpad and buttons on the MacBook Pro keyboard either.
I've seached the discussions without any success. Advice anyone?
Thanks in advance.

Well, by some stroke of dumb luck it finally connected. I slid the on/off switch open until the green light started to blink, when the mouse connected I opened it all the way and decided to work.

Why does Magic Mouse keeps losing connection when batteries are OK?

In case it is a connectivity problem I close everything except the operation I'm using and the mouse continues to frequenty lose connection.

HT2845 why does my wireless mouse keep losing connection?

Good morning,
My wireless mouse keeps losing connection...my batteries are at 100% and the "discoverable" option is checked off. Why is this happening?

Hi:

Sometimes resetting these "fixes" odd problems - and it cannot hurt.
To make a device a favorite, go to system preferences>bluetooth. Highlight the device. If detailed information is not shown, click oin the little gear>show more info. Then click on the gear again and make the device a favorite.

Why does my mouse keep losing connection every minute

why does my mouse keep losing connection every minute, its not the batteries

I'm having the same issue. Every so often it loses connection then re establishes. This goes on repeatedly.
If you change batteries while the computer is still active then it takes for ever to re connect.
Can't wait until someone replies to your question.

You could try updating your apple TV and then restarting it. Bit of a guess.

Apple TV 7.0.2 Airplay with MacBook PRO OS X 10.10.1 is not working.

You need to upgrade your OS. It's your responsibility to verify if your equipment meets the system requirements, not the Apple Store.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.

Why does my mouse keep losing connectivity

My magic Mouse (came with the system) keeps losing connectivity. It seems that whenever the mouse has a period of inactivity such as when I am using the key board, it loses connectivity and I have to double tap it (two fingers) to get it to reconnect. Battery is >80%. Is this normal or is there a setting that can insure it stays connected? I appreciate any advice even if it is I have to put up with this annoyance. Thanks.

BDAqua
Thanks for the response. My WFi is a Linksys E2000. Because of the number of messages in the Console I will have to wait until the next time I lose connectivity and then check for messages in Console to see if there are any clues to what is going on.

Slow Connection with MacBook Pro

Whenever I try to connect my MacBook Pro (Early 2011) to the Apple TV (3rd generation) for Aiplay Mirroring, it takes a long time to connect, and when it connects, the screen is almost frozen and the same happens when I try home sharing, everyting I play starts lagging, Airplaying music works for a bit then starts lagging every two seconds. I've tried AirPlay with my iPhone 4s and it works perfectly with music video and mirroring. I'm using the latest OS on all devices.

Sounds like it is not getting a great WiFi conneciton. Streaming video is not tolorant of anyting other than a perfect connection. You need a newer WiFi routner to support streaming video. If you have one that supports the N standard then I would try resetting your Wifi router.

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.

My apple magic keyboard keeps un-pairing with my computer.

My mom got the new iMac a while ago and she didnt want the magic mouse and keyboard so she gave them to me. I'v had them for several months with no problems and I'v become very fond of them for gameing. My out of town friend was in town yesterday and staying at his grandmothers house so i wnet over there with my macbook pro 13 inch, i did not bring my magic mouse or keyboard. When i came home i went to go play on my computor and i tryed typeing in my password on my magic keyboard but nothing showed up so i tried again, thats when my mom yelled from the other room that i was typeing on her computer. she turned her computer off and than i re-paired the keyboard with my computor and it worked fine for the rest of the night. When i got up this morning my mom asked me to carry her computer downstairs, i did and when i went up stairs to use my laptop i tryed to type my password in and it didnt work. i checked in system prefrences under the keyboard and it says it isnt paired with my computer. She is the middle of a very big project for work and id like to fix this problem.
Thanks for who ever answers my question in advance.

EDIT: we just turned off bluetooth on her computer and that fixed it.

Keep losing connection with sim-card on my iPad2

Lately i keep losing my mobile connection.
The only way to reconnect is to fully shutdown and restart.
This is verry annoying
At home no problem. I did not havethis problem in the past so what has changed. And why is there no reconnect solution. Seems easy enough as a way around the problem.

you could try toggling airplane mode on/off when it happens
