Bluetooth mouse no longer works

My Microsoft Bluetooth 5000 mouse no longer works after install of the latest 10.6.4 update
any reason this could be? (Also forgive the use of a microsoft mouse haha)

I had the same issue since the latest OSX upgrade. Bluetooth mouse 5000 just stopped working and couldnt be set up again.
I installed the latest Intellipoint 8 drivers from microsoft.
google microsoftmouse_d279.dmg and run it.
reboot the mac after installing.
going through the usual mouse setup in system preferences still gives you the same error so forget that. Instead, go to Bluetooth settings and add new device manually. finds the mouse and connects.
hope this helps.
BTW.. BT mouse 5000 is the best mouse i own and i have many!!! was devastated when it stopped working. Happy to be using it now again...

Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard no longer works after OSX update

After installing the latest OSX update yesterday (something about iChat encryption), Apple Bluetooth Keyboard no longer works with my iMac.
When I restarted the iMac after installation was completed, the iMac would no longer recognise my Bluetooth Apple wireless keyboard. I've tried with 2 other Apple wireless keyboards as well, but to no avail. None of them work with the iMac any longer. All 3 keyboards work with my PowerMac Quad G5 though.
The iMac "sees" the keyboards, but the pairing doesn't go through because the iMac doesn't seem to recognise the keystrokes when entering the pairing code.
I had to go out and buy myself a Microsoft wired keyboard to be able to restart the iMac (couldn't enter the login password without a keyboard).
My bluetooth mighty mouse works flawlessly though.
Very frustrating. Can anyone help?

Magic mouse no longer working in Windows 7

Hi, I posted a topic under the Windows section but got no answer. When I first installed Windows 7 on my Mac (Sorry poor Mac but I had to), my Magic Mouse worked seamlessly with Windows until recently, I booted up in Se7en and my mouse no longer worked, I can't find any trace of bluetooth peripherals on the computer, in "Administration tools" and "Hardware manager" (or whatever it's called) I can't see a sign of my Broadcom Bluetooth adaptor. The bluetooth drivers are installed and I can see that in "Add or remove programs" so I don't know how to fix this. I already tried reinstalling the drivers from the boot camp DVD, and I also uninstalled Boot Camp, reinstalled it and updated it. Nothing works. If you have any ideas apart reinstalling Windows I would really appreciate because using my trackpad on a desk while having a Magic Mouse on the side (especially in Windows the trackpad *****) is driving me nuts. Thanks

Hi eg1978
Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you are having issues with your two finger scrolling. I have a couple of things for you to try. This HP document Using and Configuring the TouchPad has a section on Turning individual gestures off and on and make sure that the two finger scrolling is enabled. If that does work then reinstall your Synaptics TouchPad Driver.

Double Click on Magic Mouse No Longer Works after 10.9.1 Mavericks Upgrade

I just recently updated to Mavericks 10.9.1 and once the computer restarted, I noticed that double-click on my Magic Mouse no longer worked. I searched the forum and couldn't find anyone experiencing this. I also went into System Preferences --> Mouse but there is nothing about enabling double-click or adjusting double-click speed on there.
Would appreciate if someone were able to help me solve this. Thanks!

Try resetting the PRAM.
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Keyboard and mouse no longer work when booting into Rhapsody

I still have a bootable partition with the last release of Rhapsody (aka Mac OS X Server) on my Power Mac G4 but it's been a while (years!) since I actually booted it up. The G4 also has bootable partitions with Mac OS X 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 (and is in daily use running 10.4.11).
I used to boot into Rhapsody occasionally, mostly for interest's sake, occasionally to test Unix software on legacy systems; I haven't tried to do so since installing 10.4 until now.
When I booted up from the Rhapsody partition today, all went well -- the system started up fine, and the login screen appeared -- but the keyboard and mouse no longer work. I even got out the original keyboard and mouse that came with the G4, with no luck.
I assume that recent firmware updates have bypassed support for Rhapsody. I guess I'm not surprised -- it was a developer-only release, after all. But has anyone a solution?

Adding to the above: I also tried plugging in an Microsoft USB keyboard at the point when Windows freezes at the Windows log-in screen. The keyboard is not recognized and the only way I can leave this screen is to power-off the computer.

HT201401 My bluetooth is no longer working in the car - it keeps 'searching' for devices

My bluetooth is no longer working in the car - it keeps 'searching' for devices. Anyone ever had this issue?
Thanks

Can you connect from your phone to another BT device, not the car? If you haven't ,I'd try a reset of the phone by holding the home and power button down. Next step would be to talk to your dealership and see if they have any ideas. Sometimes software can either get updated on iOS or on the vehicle and it can cause problems. Every dealership seems to have a go-to person that handles issues like this. Getting to know him or her well and getting their direct phone number will pay big dividends. A device restore might be necessary, but if it were me I'd talk to the dealership first.

Ipad IOS 8 Bluetooth speakers no longer work

Upgraded Ipad 3 to IOS 8 and Boston Acoustics Bluetooth speakers no longer work. The speakers pair with the Ipad, but connection drops when opening any app that attempts to use the bluetooth connection. Seems like the updated IOS blutooth driver is the problem. I tested with Iphone 4, Iphone 5, ipad 2 running IOS 7
and all work fine. Tested with Iphone 6 plus, Ipad 3, Ipad 2 using IOS 8 and none of the IOS 8 devices work... Also did the IOS 8 patch and did not fix this issue.
The Boston Acoustics Speakers supports Bluetooth v2.1 + EDR, A2DP v1.2
Seems like Apple can't get the wireless side right, IOS 6 had issues with Wifi and Bluetooth muting, that was corrected in IOS 7, now another wireless problem that makes these $350 speakers a boat anchor..... and not usable.
Perhaps they need to hire some RF / Wireless engineers and do a better job of regression testing... I am a wireless engineer and know that we never make hardware or software upgrades without extensive inter op testing and friendly user trials...

I have this same exact issue with my Boston Acoustics SoundWare XS Digital Cinema 2.1 system. Any other device can connect just fine including all of my previous iPhones and Android devices, but my new iPhone 6 will not keep the connection. Strange because the iPhone 6 will connect and work perfectly fine with my Plantronics Voyager Legend and my JBL Flip bluetooth. What happened guys, Mr. Jobs passed and you all forgot how to do proper QA? This type of foolishness is expected from Microsoft, not Apple.

After not using my macbook pro for 10 days, my wireless mouse no longer works. (I had turned the computer off). I've gone in to mouse preferences but the computer won't recoginize the mouse. It worked fine before the trip. Batteries were changed.

Got it. Thanks. I deleted the mouse (not an apple, but a logitech which has worked fine for me) and then re-discovered it and it's working. Appreciate the advice.

What to do if bluetooth mouse does not work

I have a logitech bluetooth mouse that is advertised as working with my iMac. After restart, it sometimes does not reconnect; or if it does, it still does not work. I cannot even find a com.apple.bluetooth.plist file, to delete, which was a solution in another thread, so wouldn't know how to delete it. And besides which, if my mouse doesn't work and I don't have a wired mouse, is there anyway to just use the keyboard to get the system preferences pane open? Hate to use the comparison, but in Windows you used to be able to tab your way around, or use Alt key. Is there a similar way with Mac?
Thanks

Hello bobzon:
No apology necessary (we were all new once).
In the finder, go to the menu bar. Select "file>find." Toward the top of the window that opens, you will see two boxes - kind is any. If you select the first item, a drop down window will appear. I have included +"system files"+ in mine. If it is not there, select "other." That will give you a long list of search options. Select system files. Then select "include" from the second box. When you do that and type what you are looking for in the search window, the system will present system files (plist, for example) as well as other hits.
I always use "find" (probably old fashioned) instead of the spotlight search as I feel I can control the search more.

CP60-615DX Touchpad and external mouse no longer work after WIndows 7 SP1 update

Let me start by saying I am in the IT field, though clearly far from being great at it. I was updating a CP60-615DX at work with Win 7 x64 SP1. It installed with no errors or anything I'd consider abnormal. Once it was finished, the touchpad no long worked, as well as any mouse I'd hook up via Usb. So I checked Device manager, and the Touchpad is listed with the yellow exclamation mark, as well as mice I hook up. So I did what any respectable IT guy would do, I went to HP and downloaded x64 drivers for the Touchpad port and installed them. But they didn't fix the issue, literally nothing happened. So I installed the latest chipset drivers. Still nothing changed. So I uninstalled the device and manually added it by doing the advanced driver install for a new device, pointing it to the directory where the .exe file had placed the drivers. ...Nothing. So I uninstalled SP1,.... nothing. After uninstalling SP1, redid every aforementioned step, nothing. So my question is, **bleep**? Anyone know another way to fix an issue where the scrolling devices stop working and the drivers won't fix the issue?
Btw, the user had never set up windows restore, and my only other thought is pulling personal documents off and restoring to factory defaults. One more bit of info before I forget, when I went into Windows Recovery (which loads a pre-environment mini OS for you to restore and fix issues), the mouse worked, telling me it's not a hardware issue, it's a Windows vs devices issue.

Hi,
According to your description, since system reinstallation is not helpful, it's probably a hardware problem, it would be better to check if it is the device itself problem.

Bluetooth Mouse no longer recognized

I connected a (Gigabyte) bluetooth mouse and used it for several weeks on my MBP, in both OS X and Windows 7, with no problems. Recently, it stopped connecting in both OS X and Windows 7, so I've tried several solutions that I've found (Removing Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and restarting, removing com.Apple.Bluetooth... and restarting, but my mouse continues to not show up in either operating system.
It seems like this is a somewhat common problem, but none of the solutions I've tried have worked. Alternatively, is there a way to completely reset my bluetooth settings?

I had the exact same issue. First, make sure to use the latest bootcamp drivers for your system. Mine was 5.0.5033. You'll need a wired keyboard and mouse to complete the installation. With Windows 8.1 and the latest bootcamp drivers loaded on the windows side, I went back to the Mac OS, and disconnected both the wireless mouse and keboard using the blutooth settings, then clicked the minus sign next to each to delete the pairings to the Mac OS. Then using the wired mouse and keyboard, I went to system settings, then changed the startup disk to bootcamp. I then restarted the machine and it came up in Windows. i used the wired mouse and keyboard to log in. One there, I was able to pair both the mouse and keyboard. The keyboard paired on the first attempt, and Windows gave me a code to enter. The mouse took a few tries and eventually paired. After I got both working in windows, then I went back into Mac OSX, and it took a few minutes but both devices automatically re-paired to the Mac OS, and now both work in both systems.

Keyboard shortcuts no longer work iOS 8.3. Triple tap Home button on Bluetooth keyboard no longer works either. Help!

Since updating my iPad Third Generation ("New iPad") to iOS 8.3, Keyboard Shortcuts no longer work. Also on my Logitech EasySwitch Bluetooth Keyboard, triple tapping the home button on it no longer works to trigger Accessibility, even though that is still set up for triple tap in Settings and continues to work on the iPad itself. How can I get these functions back? Wah!

TEmporary solution at iOS 8.3 keyboard shortcuts. Old bug reappeared.
