Bluetooth Mouse "Lost Connection"

I keep getting a "Lost Connection" message with my bluetooth mouse even though I have plenty of battery life left? Does anyone know why or what I can do? Thanks!

Steven,
I had the same symptom. I found that there was a problem with there not being enough pressure being applied by the metal strip inside the mouse cover to the switch next to the laser. It was intermittent enough that it would lose contact every so often, making the mouse think that it had been switched off.
Making a slight bend in the metal strip so as to keep more pressure on the switch seemed to solve the problem.

HT3887 My Bluetooth keyboard lost connectivity

I lost connectivity to my keyboard after restarting my Mac. I cannot type in my password. Any suggestions?

You can substitute almost any wired USB keyboard (does not need to be an Apple board). So if you have one laying around, or if you can borrow one, you can use it to enable your Bluetooth keyboard again.

Logitech mx1000 bluetooth mouse not connecting

i've followed the instructions on these two pages:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth_Mouse
but i've succeeded in getting the mouse to connect only once.
basically, what i did was:
1. installed bluez.
2. set 'HIDD_ENABLE=true' in /etc/conf.d/bluetooth.
3. started bluetooth service.
4. added bluetooth to the daemons array.
5. in /etc/conf.d/bluetooth, set 'HIDD_OPTIONS="--connect <bta>"'
unfortunately, the mouse does not connect at startup. and when i try to connect manually by typing 'hidd --connect <bta>', i get an error 'Can't get device information: Connection timed out'.
when i type 'hcitool scan', nothing comes up. any ideas?
thanks!

still having the same trouble. i managed to connect the mouse once. here's what i did
1. sudo hciconfig hci0 up
2. hcitool dev
3. hcitool inq
4. sudo hidd --connect <bta>
after that, the mouse connected.
i thought everything was all right, so i edited the bluetooth file to connect the mouse at boot.
to test, i rebooted, but the mouse didn't connect. also, when i try to connect it manually by following step 4 above, all i get is: 'can't get device information: connection timed out'.
how can i connect the mouse?

Magic mouse lost connection all the time

I have an iMac for 2 years, my magic mouse always lost the connection and the battery was always fine. I thought that was normal, and then I talked with some friends and they told me that this problems did not happen with them.
So, how could I fix it?
Thanks!

UPDATE and additional info: This problem is still occurring.
Apply have been completely unhelpful so far, after a second phone call, I was just told (again) to restart my MBP, unpair and repair my mouse, and insert fresh batteries. I've also done the SMC and PRAM resets several times.
I'm using my MBP in clamshell mode connected to a BenQ GL2460 monitor. Running my MBP slightly ajar seems to temporarily help with he mouse lagginess but the problem soon reoccurs.
I've tested my mouse on a friends earlier model non updated MBP and the mouse works fine.
I went out a bought a Microsoft USB mouse and the same lagginess happens with it, albeit a lot worse.
I'm currently running both mice connected via bluetooth, which actually seems to be minimising the magic mouse lagginess, but the Microsoft mouse is still very laggy. So I wonder what having two mice connected simultaneously is doing?

Mouse lost connection

Magic mouse and keyboard keep losing connection. Tried changing batteries but still doesn't work. Please help

I was having issues like this, so I brought it up to a gentleman in the Apple store. He suggested changing the batteries, which you have done, and if that doesn't work, bring the magic mouse and keyboard into a Apple store so they can run a diagnostic test on that hardware. It is possible they are effected by a known issue that can only be diagnosed in store.
If you have purchased within the last year, you should be covered. Regardless, I have found Apple to be a very sympethetic company that tries very hard to help their customers enjoy their products, so I definately suggest you bring them into the store to run a quick test.
You may want to call ahead to book an appointent at the Genius bar, saving you an unexpected wait at the store.
Let me know if this helped, sharing is caring

10.6.5 Update - Bluetooth Mouse not Connecting

First off, the fact that exfat/fat64 is now supported is an absolute Godsend. That solves a good 75% of the problems I have dealing with a mixed environment.
However, Once I updated an iMac 5,1 (intel) when the machine boots I have to push the "discover" button and wait a minute for the mouse to be seen at the login screen. Sometimes it won't be recognized at all and I have to plug in a USB mouse to get things going.
I reapplied the full update and that had no effect. Then I tried repairing the mouse - no change.

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.

Bluetooth Mouse stop in a Satellite E105-s1402

Are the batteries fully charged ?

Magic Mouse loosing Connection

My magic mouse looses connection with my iMac every few minuites to every few hours. I have tried replacing the bateries several time. The only way to make it reconnect is to put the computer to sleep and wake it back up a few times. What can I do to stop this?

Greetings, I had the same problem after the original batteries "died". New batteries 100% charged after 1-2 min mouse lost connection. Tried Setup of bluetooth mouse many times + new batteries - same result.
Tried removal of com.apple.Bluetooth.plist - no difference.
On all my batteries there are a date/manufacturing code stamped in ink under the negative pole . I removed the ink - scraped away with a screwdriver and installed the batteries again. The Magic Mouse is now connected all the time. This challenge took 3 hrs to solve - hope it will save someone some frustration.
cheers t

Bluetooth mouse not working on T430s

All my drivers are up to date, my mouse has new batteries, and I tried this fix:
http://sherylcanter.com/wordpress/2010/01/bluetooth-mouse-losing-connection-no-more/
Now my bluetooth mouse only works after I reboot the computer, but then disconnects after a while, and I can't even add it again to my bluetooth devices.
Can somebody please help?

Hi everyone!
I had problems with my new Rapoo 6080 mouse, it didn't want to work with my laptop anyhow.
The connection was successful, but the cursor was dead, and in a few minutes Windows removed the mouse connection with the following error in Event Log:
Initial connection to Bluetooth HID device failed. The device has been removed as a personal or paired device. You must reinstall the device.
I called Lenovo techsupport, they have referred me to this thread.
Now I have found a solution, that might not be perfect and requires some skills, but IT WORKS (at least for me). I have installed Toshiba bluetooth stack on my laptop, replacing the drivers from Lenovo.
Toshiba has ceased support for other manufacturer's devices in their stack, but a little fix of VID and PID values in tosrfusb.inf file did the job.
Not sure if I should provide details on how to do the whole process, as it requires some skills and accuracy. I guess those who are familiar with Windows will find their way.
BTW, the stack I downloaded is not latest, it was version v80012T_20110809_x64. But I guess the latest may also do the job.

Is it Possible to have different sensitivities for trackpoint and bluetooth mouse.

I have an x200. I recently purchased an interlink electronics bluetooth mouse and connection and setup worked great.
The only problem is that the sensitivity that is good for my tackpoint is WAY too sensitive for the mouse.
Is there a way to set up different sensitivities for the bluetooth mouse and the trackpoint so that i don't have to toggle the sensitivity every time I plug in my mouse?

Thanks, but I understand the varying inherent sensitivities. I was just wondering if i could adjust a setting or install drivers or something that will automatically change the sensitivity setting when my mouse is connected to the computer. I'm looking for that or something that will specify sensitivity settings for my mouse without affecting the trackpoint.
I have an x200 running Vista Ultimate with the lenovo trackpoint drivers.

Bluetooth Mouse in Vista & Leopard

I need one Bluetooth mouse that connects, pairs up and remains connected in both operating environments. Mighty Mouse can't stay setup for both and Mac tech support is aware of the problem. heir suggested workaround is impractical. Has anyone had a satisfactory experience with a third party Bluetooth mouse?

Answering my own question after much frustrating searching around...
I have finally got my Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 working under both OS X and Boot Camp (Windows XP). Here's what I had to do:
1. Edit the \WINDOWS\inf\bth.inf file to add the following (note: the \inf subdirectory is hidden, so you'll need to turn on hidden files in the Tools -> Folder Options -> View in Windows Explorer)
- under Manufacturer:
Apple=Apple, NT.5.1
- under Devices:
[Apple.NT.5.1]
Apple Bluetooth Radio= BthUsb, USB\Vid05ac&Pid8205
2. Download a small app called hid2hci.exe. I found it here:
http://blog.netnerds.net/code/hid2hci.zip
Put it in a directory somewhere and run it as follows
hid2hci.exe 0x5AC 1000
You should then have your device detected and be ready to pair it.

T430 bluetooth mouse freeze, requires stop/start of bluetooth radio to fix

Hi,
Several times a week, my bluetooth mouse will freeze. I can still use the touchpad or the red dot. Fix is to Fn+F5 and stop and start the bluetooth radio. Looking in Lenovo System Update, I can see the Bluetooth driver is a recent install and is version 6.5.1.4500 for Windows 7 [32/64].
Mouse is Targus bluetooth mouse, model: AMB09US
Thanks

You might have a look at this. Seems to have corrected my issue on a T430u http://sherylcanter.com/wordpress/2010/01/bluetooth-mouse-losing-connection-no-more/
