Bluetooth drops connection with Magic Mouse

Quite often the connection between my Macbook Pro (15" retina) drops connection with my Magic Mouse. The drop varies from heavily lagging to full disconnect. Sometimes it works just reconnecting, but other times it won't connect at all.
Lately I've discovered that disabling WiFi makes the Magic Mouse connect immediately. Given that many people seem to have issues with WiFi when bluetooth is enabled, I suspects that there are some issues with to coherence of the two technologies. I know that both of the tech uses the same bandwith (2,4 GHz), just separated by what channel they use.
My issue started after installing Yosemite, first beta and now final release, so it looks to me as a software issue.
Anyone else with the same problem that might have more insight or maybe even a respons from Apple support?

Make the device a favorite.

  • Ios 8.1.1 bluetooth drops connection with Honda Accord

    My iPhone 6 with IOS 8.1.1, when paired with the audio system in my 2014 Honda Accord will drop the connection after 1 minute when using the AHA app. Also, when I use Bluetooth as the audio source in the car, it will recognize my iPhone, but ignores any request to select music from the phone. These functions worked earlier with my iPhone 4S and IOS7. Is there a temporary fix for these issues?

    Similar to VroomVroom:  I have iphone 5s, was on iOS7, went to iOS 8.1.2, and I didn't notice that I had lost a specific bluetooth connection: Garmin Smartlink - Live Traffic App.  The Garmin Smartlink uses bluetooth to connect to the aftermarket Kenwood DNX891HD I have in my car, this comes with a Navigation GPS included.  The Garmin Smartlink app (Live Traffic) provides immediate traffic updates if your city is covered, and my city Cincinati OH is covered.  This was all working fine before I upgraded the iOS on the iphone 5S.  I read another article related to "carkit" connections between iphones and car stereos (for both NAV and also hands-free) - here is the key point and my theory: Only ONE bluetooth connection can be supported at a time.  In my case - the hands-free telephone (thru car microphone and car stereo speakers) works fine, and I believe this is also "shared" by Pandora App (from iphone to Kenwood).  So, my theory is the iphone will not connect to the Kenwood for the Nav, since it is already connected to the Kenwood for the audio (Pandora and hands-free, I think these two "share" the same bluetooth connection, and I think the Smartlink connection is separate).  I messed around this morning in the parking lot at work, and my attempts to "forget" and "pair" the iphone and Kenwood would continously start playing Pandora, but the Smartlink still will not connect (when it dis work, I would see a green circle with two cars on my Nav map screen, indicating the smartlink connection and also status of the traffic).  My next test this afternoon will be to delete Pandora app on the phone, try forget / pair again and see if I can get Smartlink to work.  If this works, I'll reinstall Pandora App and try to get it back as well.  My past 24 hours of skimming articles (don't ya love the internet !) seems to indicate that I am not the only person with bluetooth problems due to the iOS 8.1.2 update....hey Apple...where's 8.1.3 to fix this ?

  • Macbook pro 2012 bluetooth problem with magic mouse

    I have a MacBook Pro 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 running Mac OS X 10.7.4
    It's two days old and Bluetooth has stopped working.. I use bluetooth for my apple magic mouse.
    I know it's the Bluetooth app and not the mouse as I changed the mouse batteries and double checked it with my old iMac.
    The Bluetooth app has become sluggish and unresponsive.
    I have restarted and logged out and in.
    Run permissions.
    Switched Bluetooth off and on.
    Scratched my beard.
    Any ideas or similar problems?

    Not sure which Bluetooth app you are referring to ... 
    Try deleting Bluetooth preferences ...
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    /LIbrary/Preferences
    Click Go
    Move the   com.apple.Bluetooth.plist   file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    Now open System Preferences > Bluetooth and try re "pairing" the mouse.

  • STILL cant get Windows 7 to connect to Magic Mouse

    Hello All,
    Firstly, pardon my ignorance. I am new to Macs and have been having a rough time adjusting.
    My problem is: I have a dual partition (Mac OSX and Windows 7). I am having an unbelievably hard time trying to connect the Magic Mouse in Windows 7. I have tried installing the Mac OSX Bootcamp drivers etc. I have also followed the article that says to boot in OSX first and then unpair-repair your mouse. (Which I am still a bit confused as to how to do)
    Anywho, I am not sure what else to do. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have checked Device Manager and the Apple "driver" is definitely present.
    Thank you for your suggestions and time

    The Magic Mouse is not supported by Windows. If you get it to work, it's functionality will likely be hampered by it's lack of official support and official drivers, etc. Any drivers that are being made available are non-official and likely unsupported.
    Note the system requirements from Apple's site on the device:
    System Requirements
    * Mac computer with Bluetooth wireless technology
    * Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0* or Mac OS X v10.6.1 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0
    * Existing keyboard and mouse for setup
    * Two AA batteries (included)

  • Whenever I connected my Magic Mouse to my Macbook pro retina, the Internet doesn't right away...

    Whenever I connected my Magic Mouse to my Macbook Pro Retina, the Internet does't work right away,
    and while I disconnected the Mouse, it works immediately......
    Does anyone has the same prob. or know why it happens?
    Please help me out and thanks for your kindness!

    But I tested, I clicked a link and it started loading, and when I got the Mouse connected, it stops the process and got stuck...
    And I clicked a link again, now with the mouse connected, it stuck forever, and when disconnected the mouse, it immediately works!

  • Can I connect my Magic Mouse to my Dell Laptop?

    I bought a new laptop from Dell a couple months back and i have a USB mouse to go with it. My Mom liked the USB mouse better than the magic mouse so we switched. I was able to connect the magic mouse to my laptop but the scroller wouldn't work. So i tried turning the mouse off and back on again. After I did this the magic mouse could no longer be found by the laptop and yes it is on discovery mode. For those wondering my which laptop i have it is a Dell Inspiron 15r.

    Ok I have giten it to connect again by removing it from the laptop and adding it again. Now I need to solve the no scrolling problem

  • Types of batteries compatible with Magic Mouse

    Hi There,
    Recently I bought a magic mouse, and till now it has been amazing. But as all users, I too face serious battery drain issue with magic mouse, but I think its worth its usage .
    So I thought to switch to couple of rechargeable batteries for my magic mouse after reading some threads here. But now I have got a doubt. I read the magic mouse user guide and it says :
    +You can use alkaline, lithium, or rechargeable AA batteries in your mouse.+
    So My doubt is that whether I can use rechargeable Nickel Cadmium(Ni-Cd) batteries or not? Also what all kind of batteries are compatible with magic mouse?

    Hi zulficarr
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you have Nickel Cadmium(Ni-Cd) batteries they will work just fine, however if you shopping for rechargeable's the NiMH batteries are better and last longer.

    Also note that the Apple Store sells a Battery Charger with 6 NiMH batteries.

  • Maps zoom/scroll with Magic Mouse

    Hi
    In Maps.app, scrolling over the map with magic mouse, moving the map instead of zooming, i need to press SHIFT when i need zoom in or out. Other apps (google maps in safari, or google earth.app) working with zoom set as default. 
    How can i change this behaviour?

    I second this. seems like an oversight. i can live it, i'll just screw up every time I try maps because at this point, google Maps is still better. so it'll be quite some time before i think of Maps first.
    I do feel like Maps is just a Beta right now. There are 0 preferences.
    I tried using Better Touch Tool but it doesn't seem to work... i could be doing something wrong though.
    If someone figures out a trick with the BTT, and Maps, please let us know.
    In the mean time, apple has it's work cut out for it. Maps has Millions of Miles that needs updating/correcting/ect. perhaps in one of it's many to roll outs, they'll give us some preferences.

  • Does apple have an issue with magic mouse and adobe

    does Apple have a problem with magic mouse and Adobe Photoshop/Indesign/Illustrator, scrolling uncontrollable, pages moving of their own accord etc.
    If so, whats the cure and why does Apple not admit to it?
    Badgolfer4

    it's rare that a mouse would perform in a different manner between different applications
    I would troubleshoot with other apps to see if it was just adobe apps
    and then I would troubleshoot by trying a different mouse
    could be the mouse was defect
