Bluetooth mouse cannot keep connection

My Bluetooth mouse cannot maintain a connection to my MacBookPro (running 10.10.2). This just started a couple of days ago. I have two different BT mice (with fresh batteries) and my MBP cannot keep a connection with either one. Is there a bug in the last Yosemite update?

You are right - the router shouldn’t affect it but...Process of elimination
PRAM reset:
SMC reset
Unplug power to the USB hub and disconnect form computer - if your wireless mouse now works you can narrow it down farther. BTW my wife simply moved her hub and HD behind the computer to solve her problem. I needed the cable.
I doubt the router has anything to do with it but you can always temporarily take it down (unplug the power) and see.

Windows 8.1 and Apple Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard connection

I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8.0 Home and as a result I'm experiencing the following problems:
Apple Bluetooth Mouse - randomly dis/connects or freezes where I cannot move the mouse or it's very jerky or very slow.
Apple Bluetooth Keyboard - the keys will stick or freeze causing the redundent key presses (eg. yyyyyyyyeeeeeee).
I've done the following to fix the problem with no success:
Reinstall Boot Camp 5.0.5033 drivers
Reinstalled Bluetooth drivers from Boot Camp 5.0.533 individually
Unistalled both devices on OS X and reinstall them only on Windows 8.1
Reinstalling both on OS X and reinstalling them on Windows 8.1
Uninstalling all the drivers from the Device Manager and reinstalling them
One thing I have noticed is that under Devices and Printers I have two new devices (HID-compliant mouse and HID Keyboard Device) that were not there under Windows 8.0 in addition to my bluetooth devices. I have tried removing the new devices but they keep reinstalling themselves.
I have USB mouse that's connected and I've been able to use that without problems so I think there's a problem with the Apple driver or the Windows 8.1 bluetooth drivers.
Has anyone fixed this?
Thanks!

Just to point out the "Bluetooth Collaboration" setting I've found this:
Bluetooth Collaboration enables general purpose input/output transmit suppression protocol between the IEEE 802.11 media access control (MAC) and an external Bluetooth chip to minimize transmit interference. Bluetooth Collaboration is enabled by default.
And it is not enabled by default on some devices like on mine!

Targus bluetooth mouse will not connect in bootcamp

I have a Targus blueetooth mouse that will not connect in bootcamp. It has worked fine for a long time in XP and 7. Then I upgraded the haddrive and had to do a lean install of Windows 7 and the Apple bootcamp 5. Now it will not connect at all. I have the "Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth" seleted , it sees the mouse but it tries to connect and just stalls. This is very frustrating since without the mouse it is nearly impossible to troubleshoot Windows.

Bluetooth mouse will not connect my wireless mouse...
what works +every time+ for me :
use your fingers to move the cursor up to the bluetooth icon (top right of display)
click bluetooth icon, select user mouse / connect
then quickly move the cursor up (with fingers) so it touches or is very close to the bluetooth icon
and start clicking with your mouse (making sure the mouse is on obviously).
I have NO idea why but this works on my MacBookPro everytime. If I try to connect without moving the cursor near the BT icon it won't connect (or takes at least 10 trys).

X4000b Bluetooth Mouse constantly looses connection

Hello there
My new Bluetooth Mouse constantly looses connection to my Asus Transformer Windows TabletPC. So the mouse Pointer stops moving and can be moved again after 20 seconds or so. Any suggestions on how to solve this?

Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.

Bluetooth mouse does not connect

Surface Pro 2; Win 8.1
Built-in Bluetooth
I am attempting to connect a Bluetooth mouse to the surface when working at my desk. I have Bluetooth turn on and it keeps scrolling ... searching.
I have 2 Bluetooth mice that I am trying to get to connect:
1. Verbatim model 96991 (no transceiver)
2. Microsoft wireless mobile 3500 (with transceiver). I loaded Microsoft Mouse & Keyboard center. When run, cannot find device. I did not connect the transceiver because I want the internal stack to work.
I wish to use internal surface Bluetooth stack.
What do I do to get MS mouse working on surface 2 Pro win 8.1 with internal Bluetooth stack (no transceiver)
John Lenz

MS Bluetooth mouse (w/USB) will not connect natively to Surface2 PRO.
Another Bluetooth mouse (no USB) does but does not sustain connection. I'll use this one.

Bluetooth Mouse cannot be paired with win7 on Bootcamp, MacBook Air... Please Help

I had installed Windows7 by Bootcamp on MacAir (OS 10.7.5) several weeks ago. In order to use external mouse and save USB port, I bought a Bluetooth mouse from Logitech. It is successfully done pairing with MacOS and working well, and it is definitely pariing with other Windows 7 PC as well.
But... when I tried to make pairing under Windows 7 under Bootcamp of my MacAir, it failed.
I tried it by Control Panel -> add device. The device name was successfully searched and shown on screen, and I selected it and press "next" to make pairing.... but I couldn't see the successful message and didn't work. The screen was not changed from "connecting....." message and did not go further....
Please help me. Someone said that I should upgrade or change the Bluetooth driver of Bootcamp, but I cannot find out how I do that.

I found the solution in another posting. Bluetooth setup data brought over by migration assistant is incompatible with the new Bluetooth chipset in the latest Air. This fix worked for me:
Go to:
Macintosh HD->Library->Preferences
delete (the old migrated files)
com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.lockfile
stop Bluetooth and logout.
Login and restart Bluetooth.
You my need to delete any devices and re-pair.

Bluetooth Mouse can not connect...

Hi All, I am aware this is an issue however can not figure out how to resolve it. I have a 2007 macbook 2.16 dual core I'm using a bluetooth mouse which works perfectly with Mac OSX Lion. However when I switch to Bootcamp running Windows 7 64 bit, the mouse can not connect. The computer will find the mouse but when I click on the mouse icon in the bluetooth setup to continue installation the circle spins and spins and says connecting to device and nothing happens. The mouse works and bluetooth works, but not in bootcamp. I am tech savy so hit me with your best shot. Thank you!!

Vnahaze2000, I still haven't figured out the problem. Try this website, it's from apple. There are drivers you can install which will hopefully alleviate your problem. I downloaded every driver and unfortunatelly no luck. But maybe it will help you. http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents Good luck!!

Hi,
just bought Targus bluetooth mouse:

However, my computer is not able to recognize it. When I try to connect it to the different computers, it works without problems so the problem must be on the side of my pc.
I own Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13.
Any advice will be highly appreciated,
Thank you,
Jacob

hi Fredecumber,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community.
Can you try to follow this article on how to pair a bluetooth device on Windows 8.
Also, when you try to pair the Targus bluetooth mouse to your Ideapad Yoga 13, do you get any error messages? Does it even see the mouse on the bluetooth device list?
Let me know your findings
Cheers

3rd party bluetooth mouse can't connect Lion

Hi there,
There is a problem I found in Mac OS X Lion, I found that the 3rd party bluetooth mouse that couldn't be connect to those computer that installed Mac OS X Lion, beside that, I also got connect and use normally with my bluetooth mouse when I using Snow Leopard, and also I get test with some computer running Snow Leopard that I have, its running good. But not in Lion.
I tried to reset nvram or reset the bluetooth setting on my Mac Book Air, also not working, and I tried my bluetooth mouse connect to HK Apple Store's demo iMac, also not working, but it just working at my brothers iMac that running Snow Leopard!
Could I have any advice about this?
Thank you!

On the Mac with Lion installed, the Bluetooth preferences may be corrupted.
Go to /LIbary/Preferences
Move the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
Make sure the batteries in the mouse are fresh.
Now open System Preferences > Bluetooth
Make sure On and Discoverable are selected.
Click: Set Up New Device ...
See if that works.

Bluetooth mouse is not connected after reboot or bluez restart

I followed all possible guides to make my Apple MagicMouse. I saw on the forums that the key is to mark it as "trusted". I did it in bluetoothctl and put it to "trusts" file in /var/lib/bluetooth/xx:xx..../.
It works fine if I connect it manually but after restart I see only messages like this in bluetoothctl:
[NEW] Device 84:38:35:24:08:D9 MagicMouse
[CHG] Device 84:38:35:24:08:D9 Class: 0x002580

Messages are printed when I click a mouse button. There is a small delay between "Connected: yes" and "Connected: no" and during this time I see a bluetooth sign in the notification area (I have Gnome).
Sometimes I see a paring request from the mouse. Sometimes authorisation request and if I go to the bluetooth settings it even propose to type a PIN code on the mouse )
Regardless my action after restart of bluez I am at the starting point.

I mentioned that, because this "solution" used to work for me on previous similar problems. After these steps the mouse used to autoconnect again after reboots and wakeups. Then after some weeks the problem appeared again.
Now this also doesnt work anymore. Now, everytime the mouse is disconnected, I have to push connect-button on the mouse and then manually initiate the connect process from the notebook (KDE: bluetooth applet -> Mouse -> Connect). It is not enough to just turn on the mouse.

Bluetooth peripheral keeps connecting

Creative D100 Bluetooth speakers now keep connecting by themselves (or more accurately it is probably OS X doing it). Never did this before. Just recently seen this happen. Probably a bug. Solution: turn off the speakers, but it should not be happening, and might be a real nuisance in certain situations.
Normally connection established and discontinued via the bluetooth icon on the menu bar.
Mavericks 10.9.3
Any ideas?

I guess nobody has this issue?
The car is a 2014 Vauxhall Insignia
I've had the garage look into it but they have no problem getting other phones to connect to the vehicle, even my old Nokia 920 works fine.

Lost my bluetooth mouse connection twice this morning - why?

My iMac 21.5" bluetooth mouse lost its connection twice this morning. The 2nd time for a long time (like 5-10 minutes). The battery indicator is still showing 36%. During this time the bluetooth keyboard had no problems.
It was very frustrating! I should get a wired mouse as a backup!
But in the meantime, what generally causes a problem like this? It's certainly not a proximity issue.
Thanks,
doug

Of course you can't reset preferences, delete bluetooth and re-pair or do anything that requires using the mouse to do something as long as you don't have a working mouse.
I did change the batteries, but that didn't help either. It just seemed to eventually connect again.
I'll take a look at the link though. Thanks.

Ipad 2 can't see logitech bluetooth mouse M557

Hi,
I made sure that this mouse would connect to my ipad 2 before I bought it and other bluetooth equipment. My iPad sees and connects to everything else but not the mouse. I am able to connect the mouse fine to my HP laptop.
I've checked the Apple website ant this logitech bluetooth mouse M557 (http://www.logitech.com/en-ch/product/bluetooth-mouse-m557) should connect to Mac OS and IPad 2. Is that simply not true or am I doing something wrong. I've checked the driver is up-to-date via laptop, I've restarted everything several times and I've tried googling to see if others have had an issue. The only think I've found is a way to "hack" my iPad but i REALLY don't want to do this!!
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks in advance!!

Anyone?

Bluetooth mouse not working in Mavericks

Hello
After upgrading to OS X Mavericks, my bluetooth mouse stopped working. The OS can see the bluetooth mouse and it connects to it, but after "mouse connected" it doesn't work, i get no mouse response at all. Tried some other users solutions but none of them work. I've tried the bluetooth mouse in other computers and it is working fine.

Restart the computer holding down the command - option/alt - P - R keys before the gray screen appears. Continue to hold until you hear the startup chime for the second time.
Reset NVRAM/PRAM
Try a SMC reset. The article covers when this is required, but doing this will not affect anything.
Reset SMC
