Bluetooth mouse connection without pushing "connect" button on mouse

Hello,
In Ubuntu with gnome the pc would connect automatically to my logitech bluetooth mouse, without me having to push the "connect" button on the mouse.
The only way I've found now to connect to my mouse is by running
sudo hidd --search
*and* clicking the "connect" button on the mouse. I would like to:
1) not need sudo. Without sudo I get
renato@tosharch:~$ hidd --search -t 0
Searching ...
Connecting to device 00:07:61:D1:87:B0
HID create error 13 (Permission denied)
2) not need to push the "connect" button on the mouse, so i could add the command to my ~/.xinitrc and have the mouse automatically recognized
what am I missing?
Renato

Is there a fix for skipping or repeating songs, or for the voice over to come on without pushing any buttons?

Is there a fix for skipping or repeating songs, or for the voice over to come on without pushing any buttons?
I only use this 5th generation Shuffle when I run. I don't have headphone issues because I use running headphones meant to handle sweat. However, my Shuffle will, halfway through a song, go back to the beginning, play a few seconds and jump back to the beginning again. Also, when this starts happening, the Voice-over comes on again and again with no buttons being pushed. I keep the Shuffled clipped to the waistband of my running shorts, so it probably does get a little sweatty, but not like it would if it were clipped to the collar of my shirt!
Is this a problem I'm going to have to live with? I never had this issue with my old Shuffle, which was the first of the clip-on Sheffles.

Hi punisherbv,
Are you using the beta? it's not fully secure, so try using Firefox 3 instead. If you are already using Firefox 3, it seems like what Firefox is saying is correct- the site is not supplying identity information. So what you could do is go to that exact site, then click on the little golden lock at the very corner of the page. Then, enter the 'permissions' tab and allow everything. Exit, and then try bookmarking the page!

I was using a Smart Cover and switced to an OtterBox. Is ther any way to on/off without the OtterBox cover and without using the button. If I jsut let it go to sleep after say 2 minutes are there any swipes etc. to get it going?

No, to turn ON from sleep one must open the case, press the Home button, or press the On/Off button.

Satellite A350-12D PSAL6E: how to boot Win 8.1 without pushing power button

Hi,
is there a way to boot the OS(WIN8.1) [system status: shut down]
without pulling the screen first up and pushing the power button?
FYI: I 'm using a external HDMI connected monitor/screen!
I know of the feature wake on keyboard via BIOS, but using that requires a laptop in hibernation/standby mode.
It kinda bugs me everytime to pull the display up and pushing
Wake on Lan is not an alteranative as its connected via W-LAN
Any ideas or hint appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
dirtyheizer

Unfortunately, there is no other method to power up the notebook, if the unit has been powered off.
You have to push the power button to power ON the notebook.

Expose' starting without pushing any buttons!

I have my Expose' set up to work with my mouse and the two side buttons (or button 4). This is the way it has worked since i got my mac a year ago. All of the sudden without even squeezing the two side buttons to "activate" Expose' it starts erradically (spelling?) and without me doing anything. any suggestions as to a fix?

Hmmm it may be an dirt or bad contact in the connector mouse .... Try to open and clean the mouse or to try another mouse to see if the problem is solved!

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.

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).

Unable to connect to bluetoothe mouse (microsoft notebook mouse 5000) because of missing passcode

whn i pair my mouse i need a passcode. i do not have the box of the mouse becuase it is really old, how do i connect without a psscode or what is the passcode?

See Microsoft KB952818
A Microsoft Bluetooth mouse does not require a passkey to connect to the computer.
If you are prompted for a passkey, select No passkey. If you do not get the
No Passkey option, try to enter 0000 as a passkey by using your keyboard.

Targus comfort bluetooth mouse won't connect

Hi,
just bought Targus bluetooth mouse:
http://www.targus.com/us/productdetail.aspx?sku=AMB09US
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

5k iMac looses connection to bluetooth mouse

Brand new 5k iMac looses connection to Apple Bluetooth mouse.
Sometimes it reconnects automatically, sometimes I have to turn it off and on again to reconnect.
It happens all day long. Really frustrating!!!
Anyone knowing if it is hardware or software related?
Any suggestions for å solution is appreciated...

Thank's for your reply rkaufmann87, but it is not setup related.
The wireless mouse worked without any problems om my previous iMac.
On the new 5k, it seems that the Bluetooth-connection disconnects the mouse, without any obvious reason, then reconects after 5-15 sec's.
This happens regularly during the day.
Both machines is running OS10.10.1

Bluetooth Mouse Connection

I dropped my wireless mouse and after putting it back together (including new batteries), I finally got it to pair with my computer. But even though I clicked the "connect" button, the bluetooth dialog box shows the mouse paired, but not connected. I tried a restart but still no luck. Any suggestions on how to make the connection?

Hi dianeLatte (I like the pseudonym):
I suspect that the drop caused the problem.
However, you could try a couple of things. If you are near an Apple store, take the mouse in - they will try to connect it to one of their computers.
You could also try resetting the PRAM:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
and resetting the SMC or the PMU (I cannot tell from your profile what Mac you are running).
The last two might help, but they will not fix the mouse if it i damaged.

AT300-100 - Connection problems with bluetooth mouse

I am having problems connecting a bluetooth mouse to my toshiba AT300-100 tablet.
The tablet and the mouse are able to successfully pair with each other. The tablet asks for the password, I enter 0000 and the two devices successfully pair up with each other.
I then ensure that the mouse is selected as an input device (click on the mouse settings icon in the Bluetooth screen). I receive no errors at any point. However, there is no mouse pointer on the screen, the mouse buttons have no effect, and the scroll wheel has no effect.
I have Googled and searched this forum, I can not find a reference to this problem elsewhere. Please advise. It appears to be an O/S bug as far as I can tell.
Looking on youtube I see the Asus tablet works fine with a mouse and I am following the exact same procedure. I have used the mouse on my Toshiba tecra with no problems at all, so I know the mouse is working just fine.
Has anyone else had this problem and is there a solution?
Thank you.
Mark

Hi
Did you solve this issue?
Are you abele to use the BT mouse connected to AT300?
In the description of AT300 its mentioned that you can use Virtual Mouse connected via BlueTooth or USB port.
Check the settings in Language & Input Android area.
There should be a point called Keyboard & Input Mouse
If you have more than one installed input device, tap Configure input methods to open the screen where you can configure each input method.

TS1871 My netgear wifi adapter requires me to push a connect bottom on my router. My apple airport has no connect button. What should I do to connect

My netgear wifi adapter requires me to push connect button on my apple air to install. There is not connect bottom on the airport. Any suggestions?

If you have a recent Mac.....
Open up Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Base Station menu up at the top of the screen
There is a setting for Add WPS Printer there, but it should work for vitually any WPS device
Choose the First Attempt option as a substiture for a button, which the AirPort does not have
If all else fails, then you will need to use the manual connection method suggeted by Netgear, not the WPS method.
