Bluetooth mouse lags often. Maybe conflicts with Wi-Fi, using same band?

My Bluetooth mouse, a Logitech v470 laser mouse, lags often on my MacBook Pro. I'm thinking that maybe it could be conflicting with my Wi-Fi, which is also enabled, and which uses the same band as Bluetooth – 2.4 GHz? Could this be the reason for the lag? My Wi-Fi also drops sometimes, so I don't know if the two are related or not.
Could someone care to shed some light on this? I've read several other threads on these forums and noticed that other people are having similar issues, and would greatly appreciate a response.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, they can interfere.  Try using a lower channel number on Wifi or switch to the 5Ghz channel if possible.

  • RMAN-05001 auxiliary .... conflicts with a file used by the target database

    I can´t recreate my physical standby.

    Now I reinstalled the 3 standbyclients.
    Copied the spfile from the primary - modified the entries and did a rman backup.
    But when issuing the duplicate database command - it comes up with the error above

    Hi ,
    I feel you are using ASM but still check the below details:
    Cause
    Production and Auxiliary have same directory structure and are running on two different machines. RMAN must be told not check that the target datafiles are sharing the same names as the duplicated files being created. Otherwise, the following errors will be returned:
    RMAN-05001: auxiliary filename /qmaxnt/u04/qmaxntorafiles/table/QMAXAD08_03.dbf
    conflicts with a file used by the target database
    RMAN-05001: auxiliary filename /qmaxnt/u04/qmaxntorafiles/table/QMAXAD08_02.dbf
    Solution
    To implement the solution, please use nofilenamecheck in syntax as follows:
    1. Connect to Target, auxiliary, and rman catalog and
    2. use script as
    run{
    set until time "to_date('2005/09/17 14:00:00','yyyy/mm/dd HH24:MI:SS')";
    allocate auxiliary channel aux1 type 'sbt_tape';
    allocate auxiliary channel aux2 type 'sbt_tape';
    duplicate target database for standby dorecover nofilenamecheck;
    Make sure to use auxiliary type of channel so RMAN restore take place at auxiliary database.
    Thanks,
    Rafi.

  • Is it possible to listen to music through bluetooth and be on a call with earbuds at the same time?

    Is it possible to listen to music through bluetooth and be on a call with earbuds at the same time?
    I would like to be able to talk on my iPhone with the EarPods while playing music via Bluetooth in my car.  Are there any third party products that will allow this?

    Sorry,  iOS will pause the music playback when you are on the phone call.  You can set iOS to use bluetooth for your audo playback on your music app, and select the earpods for the phone app, but as soon as you answer the phone call, iOS will pause the music playback.  This is a core OS feature, so you will not find any certified iOS app that will do what you want.
    As a side note, please use extra caution when using your ear pods while driving.  It is not safe as you may not hear emergency vehicles, car horns, railroad crossing bells, etc., and it is illegal in many states (in the US).

  • Bluetooth mouse lag

    So here is the situation: I have a Macbook Pro (early 2009 model) with an Apple wireless keyboard and a Logitech V270 bluetooth mouse. Recently, I've been experiencing mouse lag (to the point where I can hardly even use the mouse anymore). The lag is intermittent, but is there more often than not. I've been pounding my head searching for a solution to this problem, and after scouring forums and trying different solutions, I gave up completely on finding a remedy. But before I threw in the towel, I tried one more thing: I disabled the bluetooth on the Apple keyboard and tested the mouse. To my amazement, it worked perfectly! I re-enabled the keyboard, and sure enough the lag returned. Now that I have isolated the cause of the problem, I was wondering if anyone had a solution that would allow me to continue using both my keyboard and mouse? (I have my MacBook on a stand, so it would be impractical to not have one or the other).
    Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

    Update:
    Upgraded to 10.6.5 - No difference..
    Changed/tried all wifi channels - No change to problem.
    Tried a Mac Mouse - slightly less effect but still unusable.
    Tried a USB BT dongle type mouse (no using internal BT AP) - Same issue
    Tried on a friends Wireless Network - Problem only slightly evident - to be expected as this was a slow network at about 1.9MB/s, a transfer speed that does not show the problem.
    Tried using a Netgear wireless intBT mouse router - Problem is only slightly evident on Mac Mighty Mouse, worse on Logitech, evident slightly on ext BT mouse.
    With the Wireless nw running a transfer at 3MB/s, this Network speed drops down to a very slow speed when the "Set up Bluetooth Device" utility is initiated.
    So given that this issue is also experienced by MacBook owners when using BT mouse while doing a File transfer via USB external HDD, or Time Machine. My conclutions are either:
    1.
    The USB ports, BT chipsset and Airport Chipset are all using the same data bus in the Macbook.
    This data bus is not capable of running a high speed, contiguous data transfer in a single direction AND transfer BT wireless data at the same time. Apple Architects may be able to work around this issue by appling higher priority to BT data transfer tasks (Mouse), as it does when the "Set up Bluetooth Device" utility is running.
    or
    2. The BT wireless hardare is eisily susseptable to RF interference. This dont explain USB drive influences however.
    My best bet is to log a Hardware repair request with Apple, as this is indeed a Hardware issue.

  • HP Bluetooth Mouse Z8000 Will Not Pair with HP EliteBook 840 G1

    I have an HP EliteBook 840 G1 running Windows 7 64-bit.  I recently purchased the HP Bluetooth Mouse Z8000.  I cannot pair the mouse with my PC.  The mouse is working properly, I can pair it with my iMac with no issues.   The HP EliteBook's Bluetooth radio is working properly, I am amble to pair my Apple Magic Mouse, Bose Speaker, iPhone, printer, etc. with no issues. The HP EliteBook does not even detect the Z8000 mouse.  The iMac detects it immediately.  What am I doing wrong?  Is there a driver to download?  The mouse says Bluetooth Smart on the box, which I understand in Bluetooth 4.0.  According the HP's documentation, my EliteBook has Bluetooth 4.0?  How can I confirm this?

    Hi, Your machine can have 1 of the following options: WLAN:
    Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 802.11ac (2x2) WiFi and Bluetooth® 4.0 Combo
    Intel® Dual Band Wireless-N 7260AN 802.11a/b/g/n (2x2) WiFi and Bluetooth® 4.0 Combo

  • How do I set up my Xfinity Gateway modem Wifi with my Airport using same IP address?  I need step by step instructions.

    I want to use Xfinity Gateway modem WIFI with my Apple Airport, using same IP address.  Apple store says this will work. I need step by step instrucions on how to do this.
    Thank you

    I have had the AirPort for 5+ years.  Have had a Comcast modem for even longer.  My husband and I have iPads.  We can only get wifi connection within a very short range of our AirPort.  I noticed that Comcast/Xfinity was advertising their new Gateway modem with extended wireless wifi so I turned in my old modem to Comcast and picked up the new Gateway model.  After going through several issues with Comcast I tried to install my new modem and was told by Comcast that I cannot use both the Gateway modem and my Airport for WIFI, it's one or the other.  I went to the Apple store and asked the same question and was told that I can have both connected using the same IP address for both.  I am not very computer savy and need some basic, one step at a time instructions on how to add the Xfinity modem to my existing AirPort network for extending my WIFI.  I think I expained that correctly. 
    The Comcast cable is connected to my Modem and then there is another connection between the modem and the AirPort via USB cord.
    Is there somewhere on the AirPort/TimeCapsule device that tells me the exact model of my AirPort?
    Thank you for any advice you can give me.

  • Mac Mini - Bluetooth Mouse Lag / Sticking

    So I wanted to cut the cord and say goodbye to Time Warner. I bought a slingbox and set it up at my parents place.
    In my apartment, I got a Mac Mini to hook up via HDMI to a 42 inch TV and a 24 inch monitor to hook up via thunderbolt and VGA.
    I have a bluetooth keyboard, which works fine.
    Where I am really getting screwed is in the mouse category. I have a fancy mac bluetooth smart mouse and a cheap Amazon Basics wireless mouse that works with a USB dongle.
    Lets say I turn the computer on and fire up Slingbox and have that playing on the TV. On the 24 inch monitor I am doing some work. What ends up happening is there ends up being a lag with the mouse.
    I was thinking maybe this had something to do with the Mac Mini being weighed down by having to power two big monitors?
    Any suggestions to get this mouse issue sorted out?

    So if I plug a wired device in and we never have any issues with the mouse, we can assume something is wrong with a) bluetooth or b) the wireless signal being sent via the USB dongle to the mouse.
    Then I can use one at a time and see if either one works?
    I will give a whirl tonight!

  • Problems with multiple devices using same apple ID

    I have a Macbook, iPad and iPhone. After doing an IOS update now my devices keep saying I cannot use that same appleid because it's already taken. I cannot find away around this and want to know experience of others

    That warning occurs only if you try to create a new Apple ID using an email address already in use. An existing Apple ID can be used with mutiple devices. 
    What exactly did you do when you got that message?

  • IPhone won't facetime with daughters iPod, using same Apple ID but different email addresses.... Help

    Yes you can use the same apple id to facetime with two devices. I just tried it between my macbook air and my iphone 5S using the same apple id. You just need to make sure the ipod is trying to call the iphone number.

  • 802.1X conflicts with bluetooth?

    Hi everyone,
    I am using OSX 10.6.1, and connects to Internet via 802.1x through my university. This week my Magic Mouse is delivered, great mouse but generate me some problem. Once my network dropped line (from restart, sleep etc), I can not get the authentication in 802.1X done. Thus I am not able to connect to Internet. After a long time, I found the bluetooth mouse is the suspect. With the Magic Mouse on, I can not get authentication, even for a very long time (>10 minutes). Once I put the bluetooth in my computer off, I can get authenticated immediately and then go to Internet.
    I think this is interesting and funny. I think Snow Leopard may have some problem with its driver-level stuff. I am not sure you guys have seen this before.
    Please let me know how to solve this if you happen to know.
    Thanks!

    Thanks K T!
    From the way you replied, I think you are exactly the people I wish to communicate.
    You mentioned the number of sources and liabilities issues, however I think it is pretty straight-forward in my case. I have only one bluetooth device (guess that's why I have not found it earlier), the Wi-Fi connection is great and stable as well. Let me elaborate a little bit about my Wi-Fi. Every single building in my university has Wi-Fi access and happens to be extremely reliable in almost every day I have been using it. Since I started using Wi-Fi with 802.1X certificating six months ago, I have never been dropped a single time. Plus my Mac mini sits on the same spot on my table, for the past several times I have been experimenting the "Wi-Fi and Bluetooth conflicts".
    Any way, I think you got my idea. My experiments shall be reliable and my findings shall be taken. Think about the chance that once I turn bluetooth off and immediately I got authenticated being happen several times while other conditions are very the same as I described above, I think the conclusion is very clear, that Apple has more homework to do with the driver-level stuff.
    Also you mentioned some technical/historical things on this BT and WiFi problems, can you direct me to more links/documents? I think those are rather interesting and may be I can do some contributions to the Apple Community!
    Thanks!

  • Bluetooth Mouse Driver Issues after updating to SP1

    Greetings!
    After upgrading to SP1 my bluetooth mouse stopped working.  The dongle I'm using is being detected fine, and when I scan for the mouse I can find it, but when I try to connect to it I get a "Locate driver" message from Vista.  When I let it scan for the driver it is unable to find anything compatible, so when I tell it to scan the CD that came with it again it finds nothing.  It's like the Bluetooth HID Device driver is no longer working.
    This is the dongle:
    http://us.kensington.com/html/9403.html
    This is the mouse:
    http://us.kensington.com/html/12635.html
    Some of the things I've tried:
    Uninstalling and reinstalling the WIDCOMM Bluetooth stack.  I've tried using Vista's Bluetooth stack instead of the WIDCOMM stack, with no luck.
    I've also tried the Bluesoleil drivers with no luck there either, in fact those seem to break the dongle and Vista is no longer able to detect it.
    I've tried the install CD that came with the mouse, but it seems that is for Windows XP only.
    I've tried another Bluetooth mouse that produces the exact same results, with a CD that is for Vista.
    Anyone else having this issue?

    Just wanted to update this with an answer.
    I'm pretty sure that running vsp1cln.exe was the reason why my Bluetooth and iPod stopped working.  I reinstalled Vista and upgraded to SP1 without running that tool to clean up the install files and both bluetooth and my iPod are working again.  It must clean up the driver files that they were using and the new files are not compatible or something.  Not sure really.

  • Re: Logitech Travel Bluetooth mouse stopped working with my Satellite A300/

    Whilst happily using my Logitech Travel Bluetooth mouse, suddenly it stopped working, thinking it was a mouse problem, I first put a new battery in, but still not working. Had a look in the Bluetooth settings and it was still showing in there, at this point the computer was still in warranty. Later I tried to connect my mobile and that worked ok, so I was now convinced that it was the mouse. Rang the shop where I bought it, tough luck mate, we are not interested in helping you...thanks!
    Some time later I got a chance to try the mouse on another computer, hey presto it worked fine....yippee maybe it will now work on mine...no such luck. So now I am thinking that there must be a problem with my laptop...and of course the warranty is now run out!
    I have now deleted the Laser mouse in the Bluetooth settings, thinking being that maybe a new search and install could solve the issue, but now whilst it sees my phone it cannot connect to it and it does not even see the Laser mouse at all.
    The driver version it is using is 5.0.2518 which is probably what came with the computer. As far as I know I have never updated it.
    This all seems strange to me that one moment it is working and the next it is not...anyway is it worth trying to update the driver software> or am I barking up the wrong tree.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    JD

    Thanks for your reply hammer.
    I have now installed the latest bluetooth drivers, the only thing that has happened is that it can now connect to my mobile phone. the mouse is still a no goer.
    All the drivers seem to be there and I took a note of the versions prior to the update, they have all been updated ok, there are no crosses against any item in the Device Manager.
    Hmm hardware issue could be a bit difficult. But as it is now out of warranty maybe I will need to take it apart myself and see if I can find out the problem.
    Must say that I am slightly disapointed to have this happen....I bought Toshiba cos from all accounts it is supposed to be the best out there, but next time I think it may be a different brand.
    cheers.
