Apple Mighty Mouse not staying connected through Bluetooth

I just purchased the Apple Mighty Mouse with my new MacBook Pro. The next day when I come back to the notebook and start up, it does not have the mouse connected. It can see it, but does not automatically connect to it. Does it matter that sometimes I leave the mouse at home and use the notebook. I come back home and I expect that it should know to automatically connect to it when I turn the mouse back on. Sometimes I leave the mouse on without turning it off. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Re-installed the mouse app/software now works a charm

  • Magic mouse not staying connected

    Magic Mouse is not staying connected. It pairs up with my iMac for about 20 seconds or so, and then the connection is lost.
    This is not a battery issue, as they have been changed
    Nothing else about computer setup has changed.
    This is the second mouse I have had to buy for this computer. I replaced the previous one in April 2013.
    And now this one is now misbehaving....or more precisely not working on an ongoing basis.
    Today I had to buy a wired Apple mouse just to be able to get onto this Community.
    Not a happy camper here.

    Sorry, I've assumed you already download it. Please visit the link provided below and see which bluetoth utility applies to your OS; the latest is Bluetooth Firmware Update 2.0.1
    I had a similar bluetooth problem in the past and aparently this utility took care of it.
    Best regards.

  • Mighty Mouse not automatically connecting when its turned on????

    My MacBook bluetooth is discoverable but the mouse will not auto connect when turned on. The green light underneath is giving 2 intermittent flashes.
    I have tried re pairing the device but to no avail.
    Thanks

    Try replacing the batteries.
    And try deleting this file: com.apple.Bluetooth.plist /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.

  • Mighty mouse won't connect after reboot

    Hi all,
    I updated my ~3 month old Mac Pro with the latest security update on 11/13/2009, and went home for the weekend. Returning on Monday 11/16/2009, I found that my mighty mouse would not connect to the Mac. I'd had intermittent connection issues previously, so I rebooted to no avail. Investigating further, I found that if I click on the Bluetooth menu and select the mighty mouse and click Connect, the Bluetooth icon flashes to connected briefly then back to unconnected. I can repeat this ad nauseum with no success. If I go into Mouse preferences and select Set Up Bluetooth Mouse, and then turn the mighty mouse off and then on to initiate pairing, the setup window will find the mouse. I then click Continue and it attempts to connect, but on the first try it always fails. If I then repeat the discovery and connection process again, it will pair successfully. After that the mouse works normally. However if I reboot my machine, the pairing is lost when Mac OS comes back up. This always happens with the mighty mouse, and maybe 50% of the time when I perform the same procedure with my wireless keyboard. I then have to go through the semi-successful pairing process again. I've tried various fixes including deleting the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and rebooting, but nothing has solved this. This also happens if I try to use a magic mouse I bought for my Macbook Pro on the Mac Pro. I haven't had any bluetooth problems on the laptop.
    This was addressed in another post but the original user marked it as answered after Apple had him pair the mouse with another computer and then with the first. Tried that too, doesn't work for me.

    Hello d:
    Try making the BT devices "favorites."
    Go to system preferences>bluetooth. Highlight the device. Click on the little gear and "show more info." Click on the gear again and make the device a favorite.

  • Macbook Pro will not stay connected to 3Play Bluetooth Receiver

    Hello.  My brand new Macbook Pro Retina (2.3 Ghz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3, 500 GB memory, OSX 10.9.5) paired with the 3Play immediately and connected immediately, but would not stay connected over ten seconds.  My IPad and my android Galaxy phone work perfectly.  One website suggested that you have to download bluetooth explorer from Apple Developer and enable Apt-X.  I could not find a download of that type on the Apple Developer site.  Does anyone have a suggestion?  I am brand new to OSX and am still kind of stumbling my way through; in other words, I am less than a novice!  Thanks!

  • IPhone not connecting through Bluetooth on iMac 21.5 inch with Nvidia 750 M

    On my iMac 21.5 with Nvidia 750 M, both of my iPhones (iPhone 5s and iPhone 6) won't connect through bluetooth. I've tried disconnecting my wireless keyboard and mouse. The same connection error would pop-up. *By the way, you can talk in programmer's terms to me.*

    An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
    If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458

  • HT4528 I have an IPhone 5 and the bluetooth will not stay connected with my 2011 Chrysler 200. I was told by Chrysler service department that it is a problem with the IPhone 5. Is there an update or a fix so i can use the bluetooth in my vehicle?

    Iran uses GSM, so the iPhone 5 will work.  It is already unlocked.  Just put local Iranian SIM in phone.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Problems w/ Apple Mighty Mouse and 2013 Macbook Pro

    I recently purchased a 2013 Macbook Pro (13-inch, non-retina), and have tried connecting my 2010 (apprx.) Apple Mighty Mouse via bluetooth.
    While it does connect, the right mouse button, "centre mouse button" (pressing down on the scroll wheel), and the two side buttons ("pinching buttons") do not work.
    I tried changing the settings through System Preferences, assigning the right mouse button as the "Secondary Button", the centre mouse button for the Dashboard, and the two sides for Expose - App Windows, but none of it worked.
    Any suggestions about how to remedy this would be appreciated.

    Hey there, I'm on the forums because I can't get my wireless mouse to connect to my new MacBook Pro either (just got it yesterday). Bluetooth Device Manager seems to "see" it when it searches, but insists it can't connect to it, saying either "device not found" (which is ridiculous, since it's right up there in the list) or "cannot find the necessary services." Yet I cannot find anything definitive on the tubes to say that the two don't work together. Anyone else have any ideas for us??
    I should mention I changed the batteries b/c at first I thought that's all it was. When it didn't work I brought it to a 2009 MacBook Pro, and that one connected no problem ::shaking head::

  • My iMac is not staying connected to my wireless internet. Any suggestions?  My provider says it's a computer issue and not their problem.

    My iMac is not staying connected to the wireless internet.  My provider tells me it's a computer issue and not their problems.  Any suggestions?

    Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 2
    Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
    Step 3
    If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
    Step 4
    Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
    Step 5
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 6
    Reset the PRAM.
    Step 7
    Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
    Step 8
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

  • Mail 4.4 and Exchange 2010: not staying connected

    I am using Mail 4.4 connected to an Exchange 2010 account, and with an SMTP server instead of the actual Exchange connection to send outgoing mail due to the "no from: field" issue.
    I have noticed that Mail is not staying connected to the server. IIRC, Exchange is intended to be a live connection, and messages that arrived quite some time ago are nowhere to be seen until I click "Get Mail." Up to now, I've relied on IMAP with IDLE for mail, as I'd rather receive everything in real time instead of relying on a scheduled polling interval.
    Why is this? Is it just an issue of being Exchange 2010 instead of Exchange 2007, or is there something I can do to fix it?
    My iPhone running iOS 4.2 works perfectly with the same Exchange account.

    IMAP with IDLE for mail, as I'd rather receive everything in real time
    Certainly in the current version of Mail, you'll get more of a push effect if you use IMAP IDLE instead of EWS for communication with an Exchange server. Exchange Web Services feel less responsive.
    The Get Mail routine is much quicker with IMAP IDLE than with EWS. With EWS: the more mailboxes you have, the longer it takes.
    However: if you use IMAP instead of EWS, some features of Exchange will appear less graceful. Noticeable with e.g. messages relating to calendaring.
    (Note to self: I should review this after our organisation has completed its transition from Exchange Server 2003 to Exchange Server 2010.)
    messages that arrived quite some time ago are nowhere to be seen until I click "Get Mail."
    Using EWS: in the absence of a real-time/push effect, three approaches come to mind:
    a) pull manually (click Get Mail)
    b) prefer a schedule
    c) simply move or delete any message to trigger an update of that mailbox.
    For my Inbox, I prefer (c). An update of the Inbox alone is much faster than the (Get Mail) update of all mailboxes.
    Eventually, I guess that Apple will improve Mail to make it respond immediately to changes on the EWS side.
    Then, I'll go back to using e.g. GrowlMail to weed most messages immediately, as each one appears (much more pleasing than ploughing through a massive Inbox).

  • Iphone will not stay connected "invalid response received from the device."

    I have an older iPhone (8gb) and for some reason whenever I plug it into the usb port on my computer it will not stay connected whatsoever. Itunes freaks out, it'll come up for a little bit and then just as soon as it appeared, 'Josh's iPhone' disappears. When I say "won't stay connected" I mean you'll hear the "new usb device" sound over and over again continuously and the iPhone goes crazy too. Like it's connected, disconnecting, connecting, disconnecting, etc.. The error I get during all this madness is "itunes could not connect iPhone because it received an invalid response from the device."
    I've used this ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1286 ) link to no avail (yet.) I am about to restart my computer right now. If it works after that I'll just simply delete this post. But anyway it's in a usb 2.0, it's plugged directly into the computer, etc etc
    Also I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but I put ringtones on the phone as well, I tried adding about 5 or 6 of them through itunes and it only uploaded two of them, except one of those two appears FOUR TIMES.
    Thanks in advance for anyone who can help!

    Okay, after the updates I am still having the same problem. I'll try explaining it as detailed as possible, hoping somebody has an answer because this is pretty weird to me.
    -I have 5 files, Ringtone1.m4r, Ringtone2.m4r, Ringtone3.m4r, Ringtone4.m4r and Ringtone5.m4r.
    -I add them to the "ringtones" section under "Devices"
    -ON ITUNES they show up perfectly fine. In order, and if I play them through itunes, all the ringtones are correct, just how they should be.
    -I eject iPhone, go to settings > sounds > ringtone, and under custom, what I see is:
    Ringtone1
    Ringtone1
    Ringtone1
    Ringtone1
    Ringtone1
    Why on Earth could this be?

  • Why is my iPhone 5 not staying connected to my wi-fi

    Why is my iPhone 5 not staying connected to my wi-fi

    I am so flippen ticked. I have been a iPhone, 3, 4,4S user for ever. I now made the mistake of going to an iphone 5 with update to iOS 6.0.1.
    I cannot keep a wi-fi connection for the life of me. Nor can I keep even the weakest of signals to my cell carrier even if the phone sits still in one spot. While at the same time my ipad 3 with iOS 6.0.1 sitting right next to the phone has been up on the same carrier and wi-fi source for hours.
    I am about to through the phone in the river and swear off Apple. This is frustrating after I use to talk about how good an iPhone was. Very Very disapointed.

  • Apple "Mighty" Mouse

    Hello.
    One day my old logitech wireless mouse started to have some problems (it has its years after all) and so I have decided to buy a new mouse. I checked the stores etc. and after seeing the "mighty" mouse on apple pages, I have decided to buy it. It costs more money but its from apple, it will be nicely integrated with OS and it has the scroll wheel, that was my thoughts. When I got it and connect it with my iBook it really looked nice for few mins. I have turned left and right button option and.... got a first problem. Right button didnt work 100%, maybe on 80% of clicks. Pretty annoying. Over few weeks it got worst and I ended on 20% of successful clicks. As bonus, from second week my mouse scrolling wheel started to scroll really badly in the "down" direction. If I havent bought it from net store, at this point I would go and smash it on the sellers head... I got pretty annoyed really and so I smashed the mouse few times and believe it or not, clicking works 100% now. It just didnt help with the scrolling, which month after buying stopped working in "down" direction at all.
    So I asked two of my friends with the same mouse over AIM about their experience... One started to use only one button option since he had problems with right left, like l had before. The second had the scrolling wheel out for second time. Since he actually managed to disassembled the mouse and repair/clean it once. I have no idea how to do the same, since there is no visible way, screws or such. After 3 months with the mouse I curse the day I bought it. I have managed to semi-repair my old logitech mouse and Im running it now -> at least basic things like scrolling actually works. Apple "crappy" mouse is lying in box waiting for trashing. Im long time Apple user and when I see product from Apple I expect quality. These mouses should be taken out from market.
    I have to buy a new mouse, maybe not mighty but cheaper and working.

    Well I'm still using my old Apple optical mouse--not a mighty mouse. It has never given me any problems at all in all the years I have been using it. It sounds like you haven't had the mighty mouse for long and have had trouble almost from the beginning. I have heard of problems people have had with the mighty mouse, and I wonder if you happen to have a defective one. If so, are you still under warranty? I think the warranty is for a year but I don't know for sure. If so, it's up to Apple to fix or replace it. If you have access to an Apple Store, make an appointment at the genius bar. If not, try calling Apple about it.
    Good luck!

  • Is anyone having a problem with the new iPad (Gen. 3) not staying connected to the charger? It seems to ALWAYS get jiggled loose and no longer be charging. My iPad 1 has no issue but I can't browse Internet w/o new iPad unplugging. Horrible!

    I notice that my new IPad (3rd generation) will not stay connected to the power cord at all, I'm not exagerating, if I plug it in and browse the Internet without fail it will become unplugged and I will have to push the plug back in (Ba-beep). Ive actually grown to despise that sound when you plug your iPhone or iPad in because it reminds me of how much money I spent on something that PHYSICALLY will not charge while I'm using it.
    I know the problem with it holding a charge while in use, I get it, the screen is amazing and it takes a lot to run the display, however, it is unacceptable to me that I can't even keep the thing plugged in while I'm using it. I can not even leave it on my Cal King bed overnight because I will wake up in the morning to find that the plug has been jiggled loose in a corner, so it's still attached but not making a connection thus not being charged. 
    I love the 4GLTE from Verizon and I love the iPad, but I'm actually using my 1st generation IPad while I am at home so I can leave my new $900 iPad on a table to charge free of incident so I can use the 4G while I'm away from wifi during the day. I have been getting more upset about this because I can not even use the Griffin extended cord to charge the iPad and be far from the plug because only the original apple sync/charge cord will have a better shot at staying in. Absolutely none of my non apple cables will stay in the iPad 3 while having it in my hands.
    The plug is at an angle, unlike the first iPad, not sure about the iPad 2. Please let me know if they have same issue.
    If anyone else is having this problem with the Gen 3 iPad please let me know because I'm tempted to do something about it with apple and I'm hoping that I just for some reason have a bad cable receiver or something and maybe I can get a replacement and enjoy the iPad as I had expected to. There is no reason why I should be even using my first iPad and I have friends that want to buy it but I am not selling it because I'm unable to sell it because I can't handle the new iPad while it's plugged in, that is ridiculous if it's a common issue so please let me know!

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!
