Bluetooth doesn't recognize bluetooth mouse

Tried to follow instructions to have the Bluetooth in the laptop recognize the new Gearhead Bluetooth mouse. Computer can't find the mouse. The instruction said to:
1) Turn Bluetooth on.
2) Setup Bluetooth Device.
3) Bluetooth Setup Assistant
Nothing appears in the dialog box so I can't "continue". The powe switch has been turned on as well as the Bluetooth dongle. What else do I need to do so that the computer can find the mouse?

You need to make sure Bluetooth is on both the computer and the mouse.
You need to make sure the mouse is set to Discoverable mode.
(How to do this will be included in the instructions with the mouse.)

  • Mac mini doesn't recognize the mouse

    Hi, my mac mini doesnt recognize the bluetooth mouse or trackpad. it does recognize the keyboard so i know the blue tooth is on

    Are the Mouse and TrackPad already Paired with a different Mac..?
    (If so, un-pair them from that Mac)
    Was a different Mouse or TrackPad previously paired with your Mac Mini..?
    (If so, remove them from your list of Paired devices)

  • Mac Pro doesn't recognize Magic Mouse

    I have had a wireless mighty mouse without any problems but liked the idea of the magic mouse. The Mighty Mouse works fine and I've switched around the BT wires inside like many have talked about. However, when I try to setup the Magic Mouse, it isn't recognized at all. However, I can set it up without any problems with my Macbook Pro. Any thoughts?

    Good question. I have a PPC with a D-LInk bluetooth (DBT-120, Rev. C) and I can't get the Magic Mouse to pair with the Mac. I downloaded the latest version, and all I get is a blinking mouse light. D-Link companyt says their bluetooth was only developed for OS-X 10.4 (Tiger) and only worked with luck with OS-X 10.5 (Leopard). There are some problems with the bluetooth keyboard (won't send wakeup from sleep mode) but it hasn't had problems with the Mightly mouse.

  • Lion won't recognize my mouse as a Magic Mouse

    I have just completely reinstalled Snow Leopard from scratch and upgraded to Lion as well.
    I have come to pairing my wireless keyboard and mouse. Both pair automatically but Lion doesn't recognize my mouse as a Magic Mouse so none of the Magic Mouse features (such as scrolling) work. Under System Preferences I do not see all the usual options under Mouse either.
    I have tried deleting the mouse in Devices and re-adding it but it never recognizes it as  Magic Mouse.

    Solved!
    Lion was automatically adding my Magic Mouse as opposed to be selecting it from the list of found devices when setting up a new Bluetooth device. I waited to select it from the listof devices and it now works. I hope this helps some others'.

  • New MacBook does not recognize bluetooth mouse

    I just migrated to a new MacBook, running (OS10.6.8) and it will not recognize my Logitech Bluetooth laser mouse. The mouse works just fine with my old MacBook. I downloaded control center, but that also does not recognize the mouse. Any help would be appreciated.

    "browse device" showed the mouse, but said it was not connected. I started the setup assistant, but it did not seem to see the mouse. But I noticed a tiny button on the bottom of the mouse labelled "connect" and pushing that while running setup assistant seems to have done the trick. Now I hope it "sticks".
    Thanks to IAmMe123 for pointing me down the right path.

  • Since update Bluetooth mouse doesn't detect

    Updated last night, with new security update & may have also updated bluetooth firmware and since then my Microsoft bluetooth mouse doesn't detect, it worked perfectly before. Bluetooth detects phone so it is working. Are there any fixes to this?

    Tried everything. Even tried detect new device. Mouse is definately working on other computer.
    Tried Open Bluetooth Setup Assistant at Startup. At startup bluetooth icon briefly shows connected for a few seconds, then nothing.
    Seems a lot of people on forum have lost mouse/keyboard connectivity since updating last night.
    Would appreciate any help. Trackpad is def no comparison for photoshop etc.

  • K1 Tablet - Bluetooth mouse Dynex doesn't connect

    I purchased a Dynex bluetooth mouse DX-BLTMSE from Future Shop after the salesperson said that it would work with my K1 tablet. The tablet sees the mouse. I type either 0000 or 1234 but it dosn't connect.
    Am I doing something wong? Is there a fix?
    Is Lenovo's N6901 bluetooth mouse the only mouse that works with the K1 tablet?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ahh.....And such as it is way with technology...
    Each manuf has their own spin on implementing bluetooth and write their own drivers.
    Its amazing enough that so many bluetooth devices work together with so many different hardware vendors.
    I had a Palm I705 with Wifi and there was this one coffee shop I would go to and it would NEVER connect there.
    I could connect from home and school and other coffee shops and hotspots. I could bring my laptop
    to that coffee shop and it would connect. But my Palm I705 would simply refuse.
    Something with the AP?  Something with the Palm? Wifi-module? Dunno...but not everything works as plan.
    I have used 4 different bt mice and several different bt keyboards with my K1 and they connect fine.
    One or more oddballs out of the bunch is to be expected.

  • Bluetooth mouse not recognized

  • Bluetooth mouse does not reconnect automatically

    Here's the problem I have: I pair a Logitech bluetooth mouse to my MacBook Air (original version). It works fine. If I turn off the mouse and turn it back on, it reconnects fine. If I sleep the MacBook Air and wake it up, it reconnects file. Everything is fine, that is, until I reboot the MacBook Air.
    After a reboot, now the mouse will not reconnect automatically. In order to get it to connect, I have to go to the bluetooth assistant and choose the mouse and tell it to reconnect (or sometimes I have to repair it again if that doesn't work.) And this behavior will repeat - every time the mouse is turned off or the MacBook Air sleeps and wakes up, I have to go through this manual reconnection to get the mouse to work again - it is a major pain, especially since the mouse will go into sleep mode on its own to conserve battery power if it sits ilde for a while, and once that happens, then I have to go an reconnect manually again.
    The only way to get it working again is to delete all bluetooth preferences, reboot, and then add the mouse back and pair it again. Everything will once again work properly until the next reboot, when it will be messed up again.
    I have three different bluetooth mice - two Logitech (they sent me a replacement, thinking the mouse was defective because of this problem) and one Targus - I've tried using each one (separately), and they all exhibit this problem, so it's not the mouse.
    I'm running 10.5.5 and do have the bluetooth firmware update installed for the MacBook Air.
    Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Is there a way to fix it permanently that lasts across reboots? Is it a hardware issue with the MacBook Air?
    Thanks,
    -Mike

    Hi Gang, I am having a similar issue.
    I only have one Apple Bluetooth mouse paired with my MacBook. On the other 4 iMac machines in the office, we don't seem to have this pairing problem.
    However, when I leave the office, close up my laptop and return the following day, I have to go into Sys. Prefs. to "refind" my bluetooth mouse. Humbug. Why doesn't the OS recognize this mouse automatically? Can anyone from Apple kindly assist? Support Board Guru?
    Thanks,
    Bazz

  • URGEND: After cloned backup neither usb nor bluetooth mouse recognized

    ahhhhhh, help needed....
    after bootcamp kills my complete system disc during installing xp i've cloned my backup copy onto my ereased system disc. every things fine (besides some errors) but now my macpro don't recognize neither the usb nor the bluetooth mouse.
    the keyboard works fine and i've tried every usb slot and a powered hub without no luck.
    the bt mouse getting recognized by the bt assistant, connect and ready, BUT it's not working. the "tray" symbol shows it's connected.....
    i've tried the following: pr reset, board reset, permission repaired, new directory by diskwarrior = nothing
    behind the error window of chronosync is another one from parallels which says that the "connectusb.kext" extension wasn't correctly installed.
    i've tried to copy the extensions from my macbook parallels but the error still occurs.
    i'm not sure but i think there can't be any connection between the parallels extension error and my overall mouse dis function, or can it be???
    plz help, cause i've got no possibility to archive and install the system cause i'm on an non authorized tiger 10.4.11 system on an early macpro

    cheers and sorry for double posting

    Just watching various posts on forums to see what I should do next. I updated to 10.6 from DVD, then went to 10.6.5, and my keyboard and mouse would stop working, and then start working again when I unplugged and replugged the keyboard (I have the mouse plugged into the keyboard). I don't want to spend all day unplugging and plugging my keyboard. I just went back to core 10.6 from the DVD, all my main software seems to work, so unless I have problems, I'm just sticking with core 10.6 until things get resolved.
    I might try updating to 10.6.2, or 10.6.4, but not until I'm forced into it (when something is really not working on unstable). I do mostly music and video work. The only reason I updated was because something new I want to run (Wavelab 7) only works with 10.6. I usually never update my OS unless I'm forced into it, I'm way not an OS early adopter, I have work to do! I was truly expecting 10.6.5 to be OK, they've had plenty of time to get the kinks worked out. I wasn't expecting Apple to introduce new ones. Sounds like I'm not bothering with 10.6.6 now. 10.6.7 anyone? Do I hear .8?
    Way to go Apple.

  • Bluetooth mouse and keyboard do not work

    I purchased an iMac G5 about 6 months ago. I got it with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard. I have had trouble with it from day 1. Apple had me replace the logic unit, and it worked for a couple of weeks. Then as soon as the 90-day warranty for complimentary service ran out, it began working sporadically. Now it doesn't work at all. It says I don't have a bluetooth module installed or attached to my computer (which is what it said before the logic unit was replaced. The computer works fine with a USB mouse and keyboard. Had I known bluetooth was so tempermental and difficult, I sure wouldn't have got it with my computer.
    Unless there is a smart person out there who knows what is going on, I guess I need to buy a new USB keyboard and mouse. Anybody interested in buying a bluetooth keyboard and mouse cheap?

    Russell,
    The warranty period on your mac is 1 year. The complimentry phone service period is 90 days unless you have a hardware problem. I'd say you likely have a hardware problem and will not be charged for the phone call.
    I'd suggest 2 things:
    1. Sign up for Applecare as has been recommended countless times.
    2. Make the call to tech support and see what they say about your problem.
    Good Luck,
    John
