Bluetooth Apple Magic Mouse jumps and moves erraticlly on screen

Hello,
I am having problems with my Magic Mouse (cursor, pointer) jumping around on my screen when i attempt to use it. I checked preferences and the connection is fine. Has anyone else experienced this? And if so how do we remedy this annoying problem?

I was about to post this same question and then I found this thread.
Magic Trackpad was working great, I love using it.
Then one day after a week or so of use it starts acting erratically.
I assumed it was the batteries (although still above 70%) and changed them. Yet with fresh batteries reporting 100% it still refuses to take input and does its own erratic thing.
I've had to switch it off constantly today because even when I switch to using the trackpad on my MBP (Core2duo Nov '06 model) the pointer jumps about on the screen and worse still "clicks", on things which causes mayhem.
The suggestion of the USB power doesn't seem to affect me as all I have is the Apple aluminium keyboard plugged into my MBP. No other bluetooth devices being used or nearby. It's happened at 3 different locations too I can't blame interference from anything nearby
Shame as I had thought Apple had finally produced a "mouse" that was worth of their brand and reputation.

MacPro Magic Mouse jumping and crashing

Hi
I bought 3 MacPro. One configure 2.8 and 2 MacPro 2x2.4.
2.8 MacPro Magic Mouse no problem no crashing and jumping but
2 MacPro 2x2.4Ghz Magic Mouse jumping and crashing.
I tested new magic mouse problem is continue.
I restore MacPro and install system but problem continue.
İ search web pages same problem is alot of.
I dont fix this problem.

If you searched you should have found you are not alone with that MM/Mac Pro problem. Probably the biggest thread in these forums (22 pages) is this one:
Poor Bluetooth reception and jerky mouse
Summary, add your own external antenna or get a USB Bluetooth dongle.
How far are your mice from the mac pro's? Probably more than 3 or 4 feet from the back of the mac pro is about the limit.
Are there any wireless devices nearby (e.g., routers). Sometimes they cause interference.

You coud try smc and pram resets but it probably won't help.

I would like to purchase a Bluetooth Apple Magic Mouse to use on my new HP Windows 8.1 laptop. Will it work?

Would a Bluetooth Apple Magic Mouse work on my new HP PC laptop running windows 8.1? The laptop has bluetooth on it. I like the mouse and would like to have it bluetooth enabled on a PC laptop. Has anyone had any success with this? Thanks

It's not officially supported, but Google "magic mouse windows 8" for a variety of potential solutions.

Why are my web pages scrolling half way down by themselves while I'm using my apple magic mouse. And no, it's not the mouse, apple replaced it

Only in Firefox when I'm at a site the page will scroll down about half way and stop at by itself which is annoying when I am filling out a form or looking for something. I use to have a problem when I was scrolling and the page would freeze and I would have to go to the scroll bar and manually move the page up and down to active the scroll on my mouse and yes this is a new mouse replaced by Apple.

Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

HT201933 How can I use my trackpad and my Apple Magic Mouse at the same time? If I don't have my mouse with me I can't use my laptop. The trackpad only moves an arrow around but doesn't let me click on anything?

When I want to use only my laptop without the apple magic mouse, how do I disable the mouse so that the trackpad works?

Hi, thanks for your answer,
No, I connected the midi-in from the blofeld to midi-out from the virus. I was told to do so by the guy who sold me the ultralite mk3.
I made some tests before getting the ultralite... I used the Virus soundcard as audio device and I could control the blofeld. But I had to link my monitor to the Blofed Out... then I wasn't able to listent to the Virus. But this way I could play the Blofeld in Logic (but couldn't see any midi data and when I bounced I had no sound)
That's the main reason I decided to buy an external audio device (to be able to play both the Virus and the Blofeld)
But I think the way I connected Blofeld to Virus is right because I can see the light which means it receives midi data.
I think it's more about how to set it within logic...
And the Blofeld only gets one Midi connection: Midi In
Both my Virus and Blofeld are also connected to my MacPro via USB, that's the reason I didn't connect the synths to the ultralite via midi...
thanks for you help! I'm getting crazy lol

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 and ID

I've recently purchased the lovely Apple Magic Mouse and am finding it quite difficult to use with InDesign CS4 - other ID versions would be the same I imagine. With this mouse you scroll by stroking its top surface, rather like a trackpad. This is excellent in other applications but in ID, because the pasteboard area is so large and the sensitivity of the mouse so high (even when scrolling is turned down to the minimum in its preferences), it's very easy to make your document shoot sideways off the screen. I expect Illustrator would have similar problems.
Is there a way in which the ID pasteboard can be resized or constrained? Maybe someone will come up with a prefs panel to control the new mouse's scrolling more precisely - but not yet.
Thanks for any ideas.
John Mallinson

I agree, it's far too sensitive. The core problem is that we have become so accustomed to resting our fingers on the surface of mice, because they always require a *definite* press, or scroll action. Now the magic mouse is so sensitive to ANY touch that it reacts to touches meant to push the mouse or were not meant to contact the surface of the mouse.
At first I liked it a bit, but the more I use it, I think it's Apple's worst mouse ever. Puck included (at least you could buy a housing to put them in). This mouse doesn't "seem" to track the same as all other wired mice I've ever used. The touch interface is great for vertical scrolling, but as pointed out here, far to sensitive in circumstances where such scrolling is not desired. Perhaps this could be rectified with a *very* comprehensive preference panel, ie one that lets a user specify the amount of scroll or movement required to initiate a swipe/scroll. The Wacom tablet panel has such prefs, for each program and an overall control as well (ie all unspecified apps). My other major complaint against the mouse is the overall shape. It is simple not comfortable or natural. I prefer a more bulbous mouse, since like many of you I imagine, I end up using the back of my palm to "push" the mouse around or rest my fingers on it. The Magic doesn't lend to resting on it at all. I also need to lift it up, or scroll it farther to the side of the screen than the room I have on my mouse surface. With my Mighty Mouse I pick it up by the sides and put it back down somwhere in the center of my mouse area. I have a dual screen setup, and my coworkers all have 24" iMacs, so it can still be a lot of screen space to traverse.
My Magic Mouse was a gift, but I still feel the $70 for it was a waste. I use it primarily because the scroll ball on the Mighty gets dirty fast and does not respond, and at that I rest the Magic next to my keyboard to scroll but still use the Mighty 95% of the time. If Apple would have made the exact same Mighty Mouse but only made the center area where the ball is, a touch sensitive surface, I would be in mouse heaven (they could delineate the area with a small inscribed line or something).
IMHO big Apple Fail.

Using Apple Magic Mouse With Windows 7 64 bit and Parallels Desktop 8 questions

I will be getting an iMac in the coming months and installing Parallels Desktop 8 and Windows 7 64 bit.
I was wondering if I would have the functions of been able to left click, right click, scroll (preferably vertically but also occasionally horizontally) with the Apple Magic Mouse when I'm running Windows 7 through Parallels Desktop 8?
I just wondered if anyone has installed Parallels Desktop 8 and Windows 7 and have you been able to do what i mentioned above and also have you come across any other issues, problems whilst using the Apple Magic Mouse on the Windows side?
If there is any problems/issues with doing the above, is there anything I will need to do to get the above functionality to work?
Thanks in advance.

The same with the trackpad!
Sometimes scrolling is a bit too fast, becuase Win 7 isn't made to use with the Magicmouse or trackpad.
The only thing i miss / doesn't work ist the middle mouse button!
Thanks very much for the help stz-42 its much appreciated.
Providing I can left click, right click, scroll, then that's OK for me as I will be spending the vast amount of my time on the Mac side.
Are you able to scroll both horizontally and vertically when using Parallels 8 Win 7 64 bit on your iMac?

Is the green light showing? Is it steady or flickering? You should try re-setting the SMC.

Apple Magic Mouse and kernel panics?

I bought the new Apple Magic Mouse a few days ago and since day one I am getting random kernel panics. I've switched back to my old Apple Might Mouse and everything seems to work just fine.
I am using a Macbook Pro 2.4MHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067MHz DDR3.
Apple's Magic Mouse was installed without the 'Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0', cause my MacBook Pro was already running Mac OS X Version 10.6.2 (without any kernel panics).
Here is one of the kernel's panic log file:

Hello tom:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
Be sure you have all the software updates installed:

If that does not help, I would contact Apple and ask for a replacement.

Apple Magic Mouse responds but does not want to click to web links, but wants to give me option to open, save, etc? Keep trying by clicking again and again, finally it will let me link

Apple Magic Mouse responds but does not want to click to web links, but gives options instead, go back, look up, save, etc? Changed batteries but does not solve the mouse problem. I click all over the page and it continues to provide options and link is indicated in blue, but have to keep trying until it finally let me continue.

Are you sure you are clicking on the left side of the mouse, rather than somewhere in the middle (and probably closer to the right side)?

Can anyone tell me why my apple magic mouse isn't working on my computer i've tried new batterys but it still doesn't work

I bought a macbook pro and apple magic mouse 6 months ago and it has worked in the past, but when I tried to use it earlier it doesn't work. The macbook seems to recognise it but when you move the mouse the curser stays put. The track pad still works though, any sugestions?

How to Setup Apple Magic Mouse in Windows 7?

Hi,
I have a MBP that runs "Apple OS X 10.6.3" and "Windows 7 Ultimate".
I also purchased an "Apple Magic Mouse".
I have no problem setting up the Apple Magic Mouse on the Mac side, but don't know how to set up the Apple Magic Mouse in the Windows 7.
So how do I make my Apple Magic Mouse work in the Windows 7?
Thanks.

Hi,
I clicked "Add wireless devices", but it cannot show apple magic mouse.
i put my apple magic mouse for a while and let bluetooth search, the apple magic mouse can be used, but still not showing in the panel.
if i have to wait for 1 or 2 mins for the mbp to recognize my apple magic mouse,(in the windwos 7 of course), then it's too tedious.
anyway that can solve this problem?
