Bluetooth mouse dies--seems an old problem not yet fixed

When idle for few minutes, my plain (not magic)bluetooth mouse disconnects, and often take a complete restart to reconnect. I've read all posts I can find, and have new batteries and fresh updates on my Mac Mini.

Oh... one thing I forgot to add. Even after sliding the laser cover back and forth, I still get no red lights. (and this happened on the first mouse I had too).
It's acting like the mouse is dead. I find that incredible b/c I was JUST using the mouse before it told me the batteries were dying!

How to solve issue with strange iphoto events shown in itunes for sync IOS devices ? This issue is very old and not been fixed by apple... terrible

all softwares latest version january 2013.
I see in itunes many strange crazy iphoto events that in iphoto do not exist.
These vents are named as data and contains just few photos.
each event can be sync with IOS devices, but that event is not in iphoto !
It looks like miniatures... no way to solve this issue making all possible maintenance in iphoto library.
THis issue is very old, very terrible, people start to have doubts about iphoto as a reliable software.
Need a fix asap.
Apple please help!
I were with 2 hours at genius bar but nothing.
Genius told me apple have been informed and they are working on a solution..... this 4 months ago !!!
Need solution asap
THanks
Fabio

Apple aren't here. As you're the only person with this problem that I've seen on here, I would suspect that its more a local problem on your machine than something Apple need to fix.
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

A very strange boot problem not yet found in the User Forums

Hi
I know you guys are fed up with all the booting problems, but this one is the strangest one I've yet come across.
I'm putting a PC together to function as an extra render for my 3D animations. Here is the specs as follows.
865PE Neo2-P Mobo
Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz Processor
2 x 256 DDR 400MHz Memory modules (two of the exact same make and model)
300w PSU
60GB HDD Maxdor
nVidia nForce 5600
here is the problem.
It goes past the post, but then the system stops there. It does not go to boot at all.
In the top of the screen below the memory testing and above the HDD and DVD Ram listings it displays as follows:
DEL -> Bios, F12 - Boot Menu etc.
when i press any of keys listed there, that line changes accordingly to the function I selected.
I can get into the BIOS.
But the Motherboard does not boot any further, it just stays there.
I tried diffrent memory, CPU, Powersupply etc, but to no avail.
(I disabled the QUICK BOOT options to see what problems it may give, but it lists none what so ever.)
On the motherboard, where the DIMM2 starts and the MSI CoreCell chip, to above the IDE1 connector to the full length of the IDE connectors, it looks like the transistors/chips connections has a kind of plaque, it does not shine like the rest. Could that be the problem? How can I clean it?
Please help, this is sort of urgent!!!!!!

Disconnect hard & optical drives........
Power up system.
Do you still have freeze on post? (Start up)
I would also concur with Bas, 300w psu no go.
Intel P4 478 2.4 and above Northwood processors are very power hungry. You would be advise to look for PSU with at least 24amps on the +12V rail....... (Enermax 465 and some 365's or the new Corsair VX 450)

Error 4310 STILL a major problem, why? What is the fix? This is YEARS old problem.. Fix it Apple

Do a site search for 4310, page after page after page of the problem and no real fix that I was able to find. Not only with Window 8 or 8.1 but with earlier versions as well, multiple brands of PC's and burners.. I have Asus G75VW, latest updates for 64 bit Windows 8.1 (same problem when running 8.0), just did a reinstall of windows, newest version of itunes, able to burn CD's using Nero, imageburn, Media Player, Roxio; BUT NOT FROM ITUNES..

You can change this if you don't mind peeking under the covers into Firefox's about:config preferences editor.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste newtab and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the browser.newtab.url preference and enter the desired value:
(i) Page thumbnails (default)
browser.newtab.url = about:newtab
(ii) Blank tab
browser.newtab.url = about:blank
(iii) Built-in Firefox home page
browser.newtab.url = about:home
(iv) Any other page
browser.newtab.url = full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

Iphone 4 antenna problem not so fix

ok so you guys fix the problem with the iphone 4 bumper case , the problem is that my iphone 4 cost too much money to put it in a case that doesn't protect that much , i have my iphone 4 in a really protective case , and i have problems with the antenna , not to much , but i have them , so i suggest to make a really really protective iphone 4 case , that will fix the antenna problem , and i hope you guys do it , dont wait until the iphone 4g or 5

This is a user to user help forum ONLY. You are not addressing Apple here.
The only thing a case does in this regard is prevent you from bridging the small gap in the antenna at the lower left of the iPhone with skin. The only thing. If you have a problem when using any case that prevents this and there are a number of 3rd party cases to choose from - the case industry for the iPhone (all models) is a significant industry by itself, call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

Radio Button problem (not yet solved !!! --- Top Urgent )

In Forms 5.0,I have created a entry screen which consists a
radiogroup with 2 radio buttons. In new-form-instance trigger, I
have written: execute_query ;: last_record;
It shows me the last record but it shows my radio group with no

Hello every one......Sorry for posting same topic ....But I tried every thing ...even that
"Press and hold GREEN + RED + CAMERA when powering up. Keep the keys pressed until you get the shaking hands. That should fully reset the device, with a lock code of 12345."
And hard reset worked...but it cant fix my lock code error.....every time when I boot my nokia 5800xm it wants some lock code...Then I put 12345 it gives error "CODE ERROR" skips and menu comes up.....
I have newly updated Nokia 5800xm v20 dont know what to do.......

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.

Qosmio X500 Bluetooth mouse stops responding

Hi,
I have the latest bluetooth stack / drivers installed. (Yes, I downloaded the latest from http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/index.php?page=download-toshiba) All drivers are always updated to the latest including the wireless drivers as well.
Problem: About every 20 - 40 minutes my Logitech bluetooth mouse stops responding. The cursor gets stuck and it won't move at all.
I tried unpairing / pairing the mouse, that helped, but, then again after 1 hour it stuck again. I re-installed the BT stack and that did not help as well.
The only way I can use my mouse again when stuck is when I click "Disable Bluetooth Function" and then I "Enable Bluetooth function".
I do this about 10 times a day and you have no idea how annoying it can get.
I bought a new Logitech Bluetooth mouse (Logitech M555b) and that did not help as well.
If anyone could help me out here I would deeply appreciate it.
Thanks,
Mike

Thats strange but unfortunately; I dont have right solution for you but just some advices.
First of all I googled for this Logitech M555b BT mouse and found several threads about the issues with this mouse.
The connection issue happens with other computers running windows 7 or XP or iOS (Macbook).
So it seems that this issue is not related to Toshiba BT stack.
A friend of mine use other BT mouse from Logitech and it works fine all the time using the Bluetooth stack.
I recommend checking the Logitech forum to get further details:

Bluetooth mouse battery life

I got the Bluetooth mouse few months ago and do not find the battery to be very long lasting. the reseller told me that it could work for 1 year, but the first shot run like 3-4 months even if I do not use it on a daily basis.
I then decided to leave the mouse always connected because thought that maybe the connecting operation (every time you start the mouse) was consumming more, but after one week I realised it was worse.
Does someone know about the most efficient way to operate the mouse in order to maximise battery life?
Thanks
Yann

I had the same issue with an iMac G5 1.8GHz (first revision). The Apple Wireless Mouse battery would die rather quickly. Now I'm using the same mouse with an iMac G5 iSight and the battery lasts way longer. As a matter of fact I am still on the first set of rechargeable batteries and still have 3 green bars, and I have been using it for 25 days or so (which I believe is more than I used to get out of a charge). I guess the original iMac G5 drives bluetooth in a way that runs the batteries down rather quickly.
Perhaps this have something to do with the bluetooth 2.0+EDR version in the iMac G5 iSight, which probably makes the mouse work less hard. That's just my guess.
By the way, I also always leave the wireless keyboard and mouse on all the time. Keyboard has always enjoyed a long battery life.
I should also mention that I use NiMH rechargeable batteries. For people familiar with these, they should know that they lose charge every day (slowly but surely) even when they are not being used. So, getting the battery time I'm getting out of a charge is rather remarkable.
I understand Adam your frustration. Please consider using rechargeable batteries in your case so you don't have to go back to a corded mouse.
My 2 cents

TS3048 Mountain lion and old apple bluetooth mouse sync problems

I just purchased the a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion installed. I am trying to pair it with my old bluetooth mouse modle number A1197 with the small scroll ball at the top. I cannot get my computer to recognize this mouse at all. Is there any solution or do I just have to buy a new mouse? The mouse still works fine and has not difficulty synchronizing with my desktop --but Mountain Lion is not yet installed on the Desktop.

A Bluetooth device may only pair with one thing at a time.

Tracking problem with Bluetooth mouse..

I recently changed batteries in my Bluetooth wireless mouse... I've done that many times in the past without incident... But this time something strange happened... I used to run the tracking speed setting at the second notch up from slow but now that is lightning fast. Even the next setting down, the first notch up from slow, is too fast... And the slowest setting is ironically too slow which means if I try to move the mouse across the screen at what I would consider a normal speed, the mouse jumps back left as I move right, meaning I am overwhelming the control system... The point is something changed and I can't imagine what... These new batteries are now down a notch from top power meaning they are not new anymore but still the lowest notch is too slow and the next one up is too fast... My real question is what could have changed?? I am running 10.4.6 and I don't believe I had changed anything other than the batteries from before to after the problem started... Any thoughts???? thanks... bob..

Today I received a letter from Apple, a very strange letter that had no heading or address and didn't say "Apple", all it had was the Apple logo. But from the postmark on the envelope I could see it was posted in Cork, Ireland.
The letter confirmed that they had received my proof of purchase and that they would arrange for me to be send a replacement.
The letter said they had tried to call me but could not get through. This is FALSE. Anyone who ever calls me can always get through (although at times, they may get my voicemail). Nobody from Apple left any messages on my voicemail.
The letter gave me a Case Number and said to call their "Technical Support Team".
When I called the number they gave 0870 8760753 I was offered a number of options, NONE OF WHICH covered my reason for calling, so I chose the seemingly nearest option to it.
I found myself talking to something with an Indian accent so thick and heavy that I could barely understand him, and I am used to Indian accents.
He seemed very tired or sleepy; certainly on taking my call he seemed to be settling himself in for some kind of long haul.
Very slowly and hesitantly he started asking me for all kinds of details about me. As I gave him each piece of information he asked me for, he kept interrupting during the process that that I had to repeat myself several times. I had to interrupt him to tell him I had a Case Number (he had not asked me for one).
He took my Case Number , and paused for a long time, then said "well....Mr. -, this is about a Bluetooth Mouse, yes?"
Brilliant.
He seemed to think the pair of us were going to spend a long time negotiating about something.
He said he would need to go and speak to his supervisor. I waited on the line for 10 (repeat TEN) minutes.
He came back "Well, Mr. -....I need to check all your details".. including all my credit card details....very slowly and repeating everything twice.
Several exasperating minutes later I THINK I had convinced him that he had all my details and that he needed to have a new mouse sent to me.
He said that when the new mouse comes (THINKS...if it comes) via UPS, I must send the dead one back to them within 10 days or they will charge me for the new one. I said what happens if I don't (because this is the summer and I might be out of the country on holiday).
"That is the procedure".
I replied "so you have all the information you need now and you are going to send me the mouse, yes?"
"yes".
---long silence---
I said "IS that the end of the telephone conversation?"
"yes."
"OK thanks, goodbye"-
MORAL OF THIS STORY:
If you buy an Apple wireless mouse and it dies on you, consider if you really badly need to have it replaced by Apple. HOw much time do you have to waste?

My thinkpad bluetooth mouse will not scroll in firefox 7

My bluetooth mouse used to work in previous Firefox versions. Now it does not scroll at all. I have used the suggestions found when I researched this on your website with no luck.
I feel this is a Firefox issue as my mouse ''does'' scroll in Internet Explorer.
Thanks for your help

I have the same problem, the mouse is incompatible with Safari for Windows and MAC. I have instalkled the latest drivers and yet no joy. Switched to my old Logitech M305 and everything works fine. Also my MS Wheel mouse (Corded) works just fine too. After many tries the MS 4000 Wireless mous will not work with safari.
Why the incompatibility? It surely is software related and seems to be related to the mouse driver.

Bluetooth Mouse does not work on dv6-4002tu

Hi, I have tried two Bluetooth mice (MS 5000--brand new--and Logitech V470) and neither work on my laptop.
I see that the Bluetooth is enabled in my BIOS.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
I have turned the mouse on and put it into discovery mode.
I have used Add Device from the Bluetooth icon in the system tray, it found it and added it with the correct name.
The mouse appears disabled in Devices and Printers. Under Properties, most of the General info is "Unavailable," Hardware tab info is blank, Services tab shows nothing, but Bluetooth tab shows unique identifier.
I have gone to the driver page using the model number supplied via HP Support Assistant and downloaded the Ralink/Motorola Bluetooth Adapter Driver (SP52533), but the BluetoothSetup.exe fails with the message, "Bluetooth hardware must be switched on to run this package." I am not sure how it discovered the mouse without it being "switched on."
The driver in Device Manager is Generic Bluetooth Adapter by Microsoft, version 6.1.7601.17514, dated 2006 06 21. The downloaded driver only contained an exe file, so no dll's that I could have pointed the Update command to.
I went to the Setting up Bluetooth Connections with Windows 7, http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01948661&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us#DeviceOn, but it doesn't say which devices this applies to until you go to the bother to download it and start it up, then find out it is for Mini computers.
There are help pages which mention the HP Wireless Assistant, but it does not tell you how to get it. It is not a software option in the drivers/software for my laptop, so I'm adverse to experimenting.
I have combed this forum and Googled and haven't found anything like it. I hope someone can help.

Thanks, Mumbodog, but I have already been through that page. I'll list what I got out of that page. There is much information on it, so maybe I missed something or misinterpreted it.
From the top,
I did remove the device and added it back in through the Add Devices option in the Bluetooth menu. Same result. Device is greyed-out, but the name and ID are there.
"HP Bluetooth driver" when you download it and start the installation, the intro says it is for Mini model computers
Use Windows 7 troubleshooter: you gotta be kidding. I did, but as expected, it did nothing.
I tested the batteries last night, and they have plenty of power. They are brand new ones sent with the new product.
Using the Device Wizard in Windows 7 did something. I removed the device, and instead of using the Add Device command from the Bluetooth icon in the system tray, I used the Add Device in the Devices and Printers. It seemed to go through the exact same wizard screens, but brought back more info on the device. The tabs in the Properties are now filled with more device-specific information, but the device still does not work. Going to configure the mouse brought up a red Microsoft window, so I got excited, but when I went to configure the mouse, only the touch pad and the Logitech mouse I have at home have properties in that control panel. I now only get the Create Shortcut and Properties menu items on the device when right-clicked in the Devices page and clicking on the Properties give an error, "The properties for this item are not availble." I may try to reboot and will report back if that fixes it.
Unable to Find a Bluetooth Device: it seems to have found it because it is listed in the Devices list.
Unable to Pair with a Bluetooth Device: pairing with the default pairing key seemed to go well with the Device ending up in the Devices list. Additionally, yesterday, I tried using the code and not using the code.
Unable to communicate with a Bluetooth device: it is 10cm (4") away from the computer; I had one other device on the computer, which was my mobile and which also could be connected but not accessesed (tried to transfer a picture, and ended up having to email it to my laptop). I remove the device just now, and it now gets the same error as mentioned above, "...not available." The laptop did correctly identify my mobile and put the name of it up in the Devices list, so it does seem to discover the devices.
I am not synching.
Resolving specific Bluetooth problems in Windows 7 and Vista: none of them seem to apply to my case.
At this point, I will reboot and try again.

Bluetooth Mouse and Thinkpad T520 not working together at all

Hi All (first post),
System:
Lenovo T520
Windows 7
Microsoft Bluetooth mouse
Problem: Not working at all, or working only sporadically.
History: Laptop is a bit over year old (warranty ends in June 2015 IIRC). The sales clerk recommended a bluetooth mouse, so I bought a Microsoft Bluetooth 5000. After the initial pairing difficulties were resolved, they worked swimmingly for about a year. Then I started more and more frequently having to re-pair them (remove device, let Windows find it again, pair them,...). As the mouse had taken a bit of beating, I bought another one a week ago. Didn't really help. The first time I asked Win7 to find the device, it couldn't. The Bluetooth radio was on, and the mouse had a fresh set of batteries, and all the other braindead suggestions of Win7 were eliminated. The bluetooth radio was working, because it detected the neighbors daughter's smartphone through a concrete wall, but not the mouse. I kept pressing the button in the bottom of the mouse that presumably makes it broadcast "I'm here".
I moved to another room. This time detection and pairing up the device went fine. But after I had switched the laptop and the mouse off, and rebooted - nothing happened. I had to go through the remove/add device cycle again. Moving to a different room again. At first nothing. Then Windows finds the device, but gives the error code 0x800070015 (or something like that, not sure about the number of zeros), and fails to configure it.
Any idea what is going on? Why is this becoming progressively worse?
Elsewhere in this forum it was suggested that I should disallow windows to power off USB root hubs. I tried that but it had no effect.
Regards,
Jyrki

Sorry. The error code was 0x80004005. This is the code I get from Add Device ->, when I try to enter 0000 as the paring code (suggested by the mouse start guide. If I try to pari them without a code, Control Panel first indicates that the piece of Hardware was added ok, but it before I get any use out of the mouse, the freshly added pic of the mouse disappears. The red/green light on the mouse never stops blinking.
