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 magic mouse won't connect to Yosemite 10.10.2 I've tried 2 different mice with the same outcome.

    I have an early 2013 MBP with Yosemite 10.10.2. Connectivity with the magic mouse has steadily gotten worse, now it won't connect at all. I've tried connecting with two different mice, one about 5 years old and one about 2 years old, both with the same result. Any one else have this issue?

  • 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.

  • My magic mouse won't connect automatically anymore...

    I'm not sure where this fits, so I decided to post it here.
    Anyways, I've had my iMac since early January and it came with the Magic Mouse. It's been working fine up until 20 minutes ago when it disconnected itself. So, I turned it off and turned it back on and it wouldn't connect! Now, if I want it to connect, I have to plug in a different mouse so that I can manually click "Connect".
    This has never happened before and I don't know why it's started now. I've tried un-pairing and re-pairing the mouse but that didn't solve the issue either. Anyone know the solution?

    I have the same problem here. It started a few days ago and so far no luck fixing it. I am going to try a different Magic Mouse and see if that works. I will report back when I get a chance to try it.

  • Magic Mouse Won't Connect!

    I had a magic mouse that worked perfectly. I have had it since it came out. For some reason, my mac changed the Time Machine hard drive to a different one, so I deleted what had saved to the wrong hard drive, and changed where it should back up. It would not delete, so I reinstalled Snow Leopard like I was told. Then, my bluetooth magic mouse stopped working. I tried to reconnect with the "find bluetooth mouse" but that didnt work, so I tried deleting it as a pair with my computer and tried again. Still nothing. Then I searched for any bluetooth device. Nothing. I searched for the "wireless mouse software 1.0" but once the snow leopard version downloaded, it said there was an error with my hard drive. I tried the Leopard version, and it said that a newer version was installed on my computer already. I am currently using the latest version of snow leopard with an iMac with intel. What do I do?

    Turn the mouse off. Turn the mouse on. You should see the green light start blinking on the mouse by the switch.
    Wait a couple of seconds, then click the mouse.
    If it doesn't connect automatically, go to the Bluetooth preferences. Delete your mouse from the left panel, if it's there. Press + to open the Assistant, and click the mouse again. Is the mouse detected?

    I suggest that you request this feature, as I have, at Apple's feature request site. Maybe if enough of us request this it will come in a future iOS release.

  • Suddenly my magic mouse won't track properly, can anyone help?

    Suddenly my magic mouse won't track around the screen properly, can anyone help? It was working fine then it started sticking. It scrolls from top to bottom fine just the on screen movement is effected. The battery is showing 100%, I've changed the fast/slow slider all the way to the right which has helped a little and unpaired it from bluetooth then re-paired it, did an SMC shut-down, cleaned ball, battery points but it still does not feel totally right? Am I missing something?

    hi, i had the same problem.
    i just put my mac into sleepmode
    apple logo left corner --> first option above restart
    then i connected my magic mouse ( holding the button)
    and then it worked
    i hope it is working for you too

  • Apple Magic Mouse and Headset

    As soonas i run my Apple Magic Mouse together wit my samsung hm3100 my mouse is loosing the connection as soon as i switch of muy head set everything is fine Macbook Pro 17 inch snow 10.6.8
    Any idea
    Thanx
    Frank

    Sorry to ressurect a semi-dead thread, but I'm having issues with this as well.  Using my bluetooth headset and bluetooth mouse causes pandora to speed up and slow down all the time (really weird sounding) and then intermittant drops.  I'm on a 2011 macbook pro with 16gb of ram and a 500gb ssd, 2.3ghz i7 etc etc.  I don't really think I'm doing something that outside of the box, i mean I get that there are limits to how much data can be pushed through bluetooth, but you'd think that would be within reach...  Can you prioritize the data such that the sound quality is never affected?  I'd rather my mouse be a bit jumpy than the sound be all funky...

  • Apple Magic Mouse best usage

    Hi guys!...
    My wife bought me an Apple Magic Mouse and i have a few questions.
    I have a Mac Mini under 10.6.4 by the way
    I normally left downloading some stuff on my Mac all night long. Is it best to leave the Magic Mouse on or off?... If i turn it off... How can i connect again without reconnecting a USB mouse?... If i turn the mouse off without disconnecting it from the bluetooth icon, is there a risk on hardware damage?
    Thanks so much!!!

    The mouse should turn off automatically. You can just press the power button and hold it until a message appears on the Mac saying "Connection Lost" or "Trackpad Off". It does not damage the hardware.
    Hope that helps.

  • Macbook Pro (Early 2011) not recognizing Apple Magic Mouse

    OK, so I recently bought a MacBook Pro (Early 2011 Model) and I cant get my Magic Mouse to connect to the Bluetooth. This laptop is used, but I bought it from a Apple reseller and they told me that it was refurbished and that there should not be anything that is not working. Anyways, when I turn on my Apple Magic Mouse and go to Bluetooth or Mouse in the System Preferences, I don't see anything at all just the loading circle. It will not appear. I have tried doing the trick of holding Command+Option+P+R on startup like some people have suggested but that doesn't seem to change anything. I also brought it to the Apple store and the associate connected the mouse to one of the computers there, so I know that my mouse is working. Is there a way to tell if the Bluetooth in my laptop needs to be replaced? if so, can it be replaced easily without a big cost?

    Hi kbridea1,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your MacBook Pro isn’t recognizing your Magic Mouse but other devices are able to recognize it. The article linked below provides a lot of great troubleshooting suggestions that will resolve most issues like the one you’ve described.

  • Magic Mouse won't work in Windows 7 anymore

    Hey there,
    I've got an iMac running OS X 10.6.8 and Windows 7 via Boot Camp. I just updated a bunch of the Apple stuff on Windows -- iTunes, Quicktime, "boot camp" (I assume that meant drivers and such), and whatnot. Now my Magic Mouse won't work in Windows 7. It was fine before, so I assume the update screwed something up. Help? I know nothing of retrieving old drivers and stuff like that.
    Note: I am running Snow Leopard, NOT Lion.
