Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse stopped working

Any ideas on how to make it work?
I have a regular wireless mouse which does work, but the mighty mouse doesn't. I've tried turning it off and on several times, replaced the batteries, cleaned the little ball, but nothing works.
Thank you,
Lee Anne

Hi Lee-Anne-
Does anything happen at all? Does the Mac see it in the Bluetooth setup?
It may be time to invoke your warranty or AppleCare.

  • Apple wireless Mighty Mouse not working in Windows XP Pro/Boot Camp

    I was able to get Windows XP Pro to install successfully on my new iMac, but I can only get a wired Microsoft USB mouse to work with it. When I boot to WinXP with just my wireless Mighty Mouse, the wireless mouse is completely unresponsive. Has anyone else experienced this, and is there a solution? Thanks!

    Why not post in the Boot camp forum:

  • Wacom Tablet causes Apple wireless keyboard to stop working.

    My Wacom tablet/pen causes my Apple wireless keyboard to stop working.  While working on a photo in Photoshop using my Apple (usb) mouse to make selections the keyboard works fine.  When I use the Wacom Pen to make selections, not immediately but anywhere from five to ten minutes into it, I hear what sounds like a chirp from my computer (Mac Pro) and my keyboard stops working.  The command, option, control and direction keys still work but not the number and letter keys.  I have to connect a spare Logitech keyboard via USB in order to continue and not loose my work.  After awhile I will hear the chirp again and the Apple keyboard will start working.  This will continue to occur at irregular intervals.  Without the spare keyboard I've had to reboot my computer (loosing all the work on the photo) to get the keyboard working again, but only for it to reoccur.  Any suggestions to fix this would be appreciated.

    The Mac inherently keeps all input methods active, such that you could type alternate keys on alternate keyboards.
    If you have third party add-ons that might change the way Bluetooth works, those would be the primary suspects.
    Be sure all your Drivers are completely up-to-date, and batteries in battery-powered devices are still strong.
    Bluetooth uses the same part of the frequency spectrum (but a different modulation technique) as cheap WiFi Routers, baby monitors, and microwave ovens. if you live in a busy apartment building, there may be very high levels of interference.

  • Bluetooth not working = wireless mighty mouse not working too

    I've received an apple wireless mighty mouse from my gf and it's not responding to anything. and my bluetooth icon in the top right of the screen says it's not enable everytime since. So it's surely in my imac the problem. Is there a way i can fix it buy myself or i have to send it to an apple store?
    N.B. i have the same problem as the rest of the peps who have the latest update of Leopard

    was working and that i was able to go into bluetooth icon and it was active???"

  • Corded Mighty Mouse Stops Working Sporadically

    Hey All,
    For some reason, my USB corded mighty mouse stop working when I stop moving it. The pointer remains on the screen, but it doesn't move around. The trackball & all the buttons still work, even when the pointer doesn't move. I don't understand why its doing this. It just started recently. Sometimes if I unplug the mouse and plug it back in, it will work again, but it won't work if I stop using it. The only way I can keep it working is keep the mouse constantly moving around. I'd appreciate any feedback that you guys have.
    Thanks

    There might be a short in the cord. The area where the cord goes into the mouse body is especially susceptible to this due to flexing back an forth. You can also inspect the cord for any visible damage. It is intermittent, because it depends on how the cord is bending at the time it happens.

  • Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse internal speaker not working !!!

    Recently I bought an used Wireless Mighty Mouse (first version with grey side buttons), the mouse is working perfectly minus the single little detail that I can not hear any clicking sound from the internal tiny speaker inside the mouse when I use the little scroll ball above the mouse or when I press the grey side buttons, is this normal or should I hear the clicking sound simulated by the internal speaker? is there a way to enable or disable the internal speaker by software? Maybe is disabled by default, I don't know. I really don't think the speaker could be damaged due to the rest of the mouse is working like a charm but maybe mine came without a speaker, could be? or maybe it got disconnected somehow. Any clues or ideas would be very helpful. Thanks !

    I know what a microswitch is, please look at these links, here are the proof there is (or maybe there was) a tiny speaker in some mighty mouse and wireless mighty mouse:

    and I can keep giving you tens of links to proof you that actually there is (or maybe there was) a tiny speaker inside the mighty mouse and the wireless mighty mouse, If yours came without one it doesn't necessarily mean all came without one, right? That is why I asked you what version you have in order to figure out which ones does have the speaker and which one doesn't.

  • Apple Wireless Mighty mouse

    Hi,
    I have a wireless mighty mouse, and over the past couple of weeks I have noticed that the scroll wheel is acting funny. It will scroll down and side to side, but not up. This will happen sometimes then the mouse will start working normally again. It's still within the years warranty, but I'm not sure if I could find the receipt but was wondering if they would have a way to locate my purchase because I paid by card? Is there an easy way to fix this or should I just return it to Apple for a refund?
    Regards,
    Michael

    It takes a lot of caution, but I use a cleaning solvent (light fluid). I've tried cloth and dry t-shirts, but nothing had worked quite as well for me. The polycarbonate shell won't get marred by the solvent and I haven't had any problems with the rubber on the scroll bar.
    Of course using flammable liquids means you're doing so knowing the risks and can take responsibility for your own safety. I've heard of people who tried killing head lice with gasoline and the fumes were ignited by a water heater.

  • Mighty Mouse stopped working, help!

    I have been using my corded Mighty Mouse since 2007 with no problems. I have encountered problems with the scroll ball getting clogged but have always been able to clean it. However recently the mouse just stopped working unless I put it on a textured surface. Prior to this it always worked without a mousepad right on my desk. I cleaned the mouse and desk so I don't think this is the problem. What could be the issue?

    For better tracking, ideally, you should always use a mousepad. A shiny clean table surface will not always give you the best performance...

  • Mighty Mouse stops working after a few hours on iMac G5

    Hello
    I got a mighty mouse and it worked perfectly for a while (so I know that I am clicking and using it properly)
    ...then it just started acting crazy..
    examples:
    -I'd have my hand over it(not touching it) and it would register a click
    -randomly registering clicking side-buttons
    -right-click just doesn't work
    So I took it back to apple store and got a replacement...no problem.
    I plugged in new one...worked fine for a while, then the same problem reappears.
    So I unhook the mighty mouse, plugin my MSFT optical mouse...then a few hours later, perhaps a reboot or two... I'll plugin my Mighty Mouse and again it will work fine. Then the whole problem repeats itself.
    I don't think the problem is with the mouse..but perhaps how it works on the iMac G5.
    Anyone seen anything like this? Its strange it happenned on TWO diff. Mighty Mouses.

    Rob
    I haven't gotten any help on it. I mean to call apple but haven't gotten to it. I will try turning off the side buttons when I get to the machine again, but as far as I'm concerned, for approx $50, this thing should work perfectly. I bought it because it has more buttons and turning them off isn't an option. APPLE, ARE YOU LISTENING.
    Please help us!

  • BT Mighty Mouse Stopped Working ... and more!

    I've gone through a lot of the posts on the topic and, while there are a lot of people with the same problem, I tried to do something in System Preferences and discovered a snag of sorts that I haven't seen mentioned.
    Here's the background information:
    1. I've been working with a Mighty Mouse since it came out and everything was fine.
    2. Spilled orange juice on it and got a new one.
    3. New one worked for about three weeks and then just stopped connecting.
    4. I replaced the existing batteries (that were as old as the mouse)... nothing.
    5. I started going through the posts and trying the different remedies (e.g., pulling out all USB and Firewires before rebooting, et al.)... nothing.
    6. I paired the mouse with two other computers (both Intel) and it works.
    Here's the part I haven't read about:
    I just went to System Preferences, clicked on "Bluetooth," and my System Preferences got hung up (spinning ball) for about three or four minutes while the top of the window said "Loading Bluetooth...". Once in, all four checkboxes were checked. I clicked on the second tab "Devices" and it hung again. Same for the third "Sharing." To write this post, I just tried it again, and the same thing is happening.
    I have a D-Link DBT-120 Nodule that I've been using for years. I can still connect to and transfer information to and from my phone with it.
    Any ideas? Should I get a new nodule? Different brand of nodule? Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
    Happy New Year!

    The device I tried to install was Targus AMB09EU mouse.

    Any input would be appreciated.

    This really is a question best aimed at Microsoft and Targus user forums, you may not get an answer here.

  • Wireless Mighty Mouse Not Scrolling After Update to 10.6.8

    The  use to work wireless migthy mouse stop working after system update to 10:6:8
    Tried pair and unpair and re-setup, downloading USB Overdrive and uninstall it, still no used.
    This is frustrating,  Apple, your service had not improved and getting worse!

    Look in System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad.   There's a scrolling option there that must be checked.

  • New apple wireless keyboard doesn't work after upgrade to leopard on mini

    I am posting this because I have not seen anybody else post this issue, but it is fixed at this point.
    I installed the new apple ultra slim wireless keyboard on my mac mini about a month ago...was working great...until I upgraded to Leopard. The keyboard would connect, and the esc, function, and arrow keys would work great. However, none of the letter, number, or enter keys would work. This was all observed using the 'show keyboard viewer', which is accessible by allowing 'show input menu in menu bar' from the 'international' system preference pane.
    I rebooted many times and even updated to the latest leopard patch set.
    During this whole time, the wireless mighty mouse has worked without issue.
    I removed the device and added several times with no change. I even moved the wireless keyboard to my G5 and it worked great over there.
    After a few days of trying various things to no avail, I was finally able to get the keys to work, but I am not sure why. I had a wired keyboard connected and kept going back and forth between the wireless and wired keyboard and all of a sudden it started working. Very strange.

    this problem is fixed, but if anybody has an idea what happened, I would like to know.

  • Bluetooth headset disconnects wireless Mighty Mouse

    I have a Jabra bluetooth pair of headphones (BT620S) that I use with my Intel iMac. They work great as headphones since they are connecting via A2DP. But they also have the option of being used as a headset, for example with softphones or similar. Only this is useless!
    Every time I connect as a headset, my mouse disconnects and the sound result I get is really bad. It's like an inch thick concrete wall is between the headset and the computer, even though I'm sitting immediately in front of it?!
    Any ideas? I've tried to unpair and pair both devices again. I also have a wireless Apple keyboard. Thanks!

  • Does Mighty Mouse only work with desktop Macs??

    I just bought an Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse, assuming it'd work with my new Leopard OS X Macbook. I followed the instructions on the Mighty Mouse booklet...but no installation start-up window ever appeared. I'm a beginner with Apple, so I figure I've done something wrong....does the Mighty Mouse only work with desktop Macs and not MacBooks?
    Please help if you can.

    Ah! sorry, my mistake! "wireless" was the key word. And yes, prior to my new mighty mouse, I also used the wireless one. And you need to do the following:
    1) Turn bluetooth ON (either from finder icon (you can have it placed on your finder bar by tick box in sytem preferences/bluetooth.
    2) Then, you need to "pair" your mouse via bluetooth setup assistant.
    3) once "paired" off you go.
