Bluetooth not working = wireless mighty mouse not working too

I've received an apple wireless mighty mouse from my gf and it's not responding to anything. and my bluetooth icon in the top right of the screen says it's not enable everytime since. So it's surely in my imac the problem. Is there a way i can fix it buy myself or i have to send it to an apple store?
N.B. i have the same problem as the rest of the peps who have the latest update of Leopard

"can you tell my why it says that while 2 weeks ago my WIRELESS mighty mouse

Wireless Mighty Mouse Not Scrolling After Update to 10.6.8

The use to work wireless migthy mouse stop working after system update to 10:6:8
Tried pair and unpair and re-setup, downloading USB Overdrive and uninstall it, still no used.
This is frustrating, Apple, your service had not improved and getting worse!

Look in System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad. There's a scrolling option there that must be checked.

Bluetooth headset disconnects wireless Mighty Mouse

I have a Jabra bluetooth pair of headphones (BT620S) that I use with my Intel iMac. They work great as headphones since they are connecting via A2DP. But they also have the option of being used as a headset, for example with softphones or similar. Only this is useless!
Every time I connect as a headset, my mouse disconnects and the sound result I get is really bad. It's like an inch thick concrete wall is between the headset and the computer, even though I'm sitting immediately in front of it?!
Any ideas? I've tried to unpair and pair both devices again. I also have a wireless Apple keyboard. Thanks!

Apple wireless Mighty Mouse not working in Windows XP Pro/Boot Camp

I was able to get Windows XP Pro to install successfully on my new iMac, but I can only get a wired Microsoft USB mouse to work with it. When I boot to WinXP with just my wireless Mighty Mouse, the wireless mouse is completely unresponsive. Has anyone else experienced this, and is there a solution? Thanks!

Why not post in the Boot camp forum:

Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse stopped working

Any ideas on how to make it work?
I have a regular wireless mouse which does work, but the mighty mouse doesn't. I've tried turning it off and on several times, replaced the batteries, cleaned the little ball, but nothing works.
Thank you,
Lee Anne

Hi Lee-Anne-
Does anything happen at all? Does the Mac see it in the Bluetooth setup?
It may be time to invoke your warranty or AppleCare.

Wireless Mighty Mouse NOT smooth! (Fixed!)

I have been having a problem lately with my Wireless Might Mouse, that the tracking was very, very poor and mouse movement was not smooth. It was almost to the point of being unusable.
I've discovered what the problem was and thought I'd share it: the mouse was simply too far away from my MacBook Pro. That sounds like an obvious thing, but my desk setup is a 23" Apple Cinema Display in the center of my desk, and the MacBook Pro on a stand to the upper left of the screen. The mouse pad is to the lower right of the Cinema Display. The way it was positioned, the display was acting as a big panel blocking the diagonal line of sight from the mouse to the laptop. While I understand that bluetooth does not rely on line of sight, it does severely degrade when big metal obstacles are placed in the way!
I noticed that with the screen not in the way, the mouse performance is perfect and smooth even at 3 foot distances.
I mention this just in case anyone else comes across a similar issue with their setup!

BT also uses the same range of frequencies as do some wireless and cordless phones and also microwave ovens.
BT uses what is essentially a public frequency band, so in addition to reflections as you so well pointed out, there are other reasons for BT devices "acting up."
Also other BT devices can cause "stuttering" by jamming the other devices, even though they are not coupled. They essentially create a high noise level.

Wireless Mighty Mouse not scrolling down?!

I have tried all tricks mentioned in previous posts, cleaning etc. - but NOTHING is helping!
Scroll ball looks and feels clean and scrolling up works like a dream.
This is driving me completely crazy - and putting me off buying Apple products. Someone, please, do you have any other tips or is a trip to the shop (which is 45min drive away) the only option?
Help!

I was about to give up because I've already tried rubbing the scroll ball against a clean T-shirt and other things.
I've heard some recommendations to use a residue-free solvent to de-gum the scroll ball, but I didn't have any rubbing alcohol. My last ditch effort was to use Zippo lighter fluid - the kind for their wick lighters. I don't smoke, but I use the lighters for camping, and the fluid is handy as an acceptable substitute for solvent based cleaning fluids. They have a newer "synthetic formula" that has a considerably milder odor with almost no smell once it dries. It also doesn't irritate the skin like the previous formula would if a lighter leaked. I believe this is similar to a lot of magnetic head cleaning products out there; many are just petroleum-based solvents. Of course I was very careful (I disavow anyone who tries this and sets their house on fire). I placed a little bit on a napkin and rubbed gently. This was done far away from any source of fire and this type of fluid doesn't have heavy vapors that linger like gasoline fumes.
I tested it first on a less visible section of the mouse, and it didn't mar the finish; I didn't expect it would do anything to plastic, but I wanted to be sure first.

Wireless Mighty Mouse on Windows PC (one last time). Any luck?

Anyone with any luck trying to pair a wireless Mighty Mouse with a Windows PC?
I'm trying to get the wireless Mighty Mouse to work on a PC (not a Mac with Boot Camp). I thought it should have been easy enough since I have other Bluetooth devices that work fine. I know that topic has been discussed before but I haven't come across anything definitive that shows a way to get it to work. Would someone please point me in the right direction. If not I'll be returning it for the wired Mighty Mouse.
As it stands now my Bluetooth software recognizes the Mighty Mouse but it can't pair it. I'm pretty sure it's a Bluetooth software issue. Your thought? Thanks.

I've installed 'Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba' to pair my bluetooth headset with XP to get music from iTunes. It's working great.
I've just tried to pair the Mighthy Mouse with XP and it's working!!!

Wireless Mighty Mouse Right Button does not work well

Recently I bought in Online Apple Store a Wireless Mighty Mouse.
I installed the drivers that came in the CD, and, I defined in the System Preferences the second button of the mouse (the Right Button) to function as the Secondary Button.
But after the computer going to sleep and I wakes it up, or I stop a little to work with the Mouse, or then without none apparent reason, the Right Button behaves as the Left Button, like if it had one and only button in the Mouse.
To solve the problem I have to disconnect the mouse and/or the bluetooth connection, so that the Right Button functions again as I defined it in the System Preferences like a Secondary Button. But I think that is not the solution for who needs a mouse to work.
Therefore, I thank you a solution to solve this problem.
Sincerely,
Paulo
The computers where I worked with this Wireless Mighty Mouse and where I had this problem was:
- a PowerBook 12", 1.5GHz
- and a MacBook Pro 15", 1.83GHz
- both with MacOS 10.4.8
(Sorry for my bad english)

There are a few threads going describing this problem Discussions. (E.g., check out this one.)
It appears that there's probably a hardware QC issue with some fraction of the wireless Mighty Mice. Replacing the bad mouse -- either at a local Apple Store or via AppleCare online -- is what I'd suggest. (That's what I ended up doing and the replacement mouse has been fine.)

Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse internal speaker not working !!!

Recently I bought an used Wireless Mighty Mouse (first version with grey side buttons), the mouse is working perfectly minus the single little detail that I can not hear any clicking sound from the internal tiny speaker inside the mouse when I use the little scroll ball above the mouse or when I press the grey side buttons, is this normal or should I hear the clicking sound simulated by the internal speaker? is there a way to enable or disable the internal speaker by software? Maybe is disabled by default, I don't know. I really don't think the speaker could be damaged due to the rest of the mouse is working like a charm but maybe mine came without a speaker, could be? or maybe it got disconnected somehow. Any clues or ideas would be very helpful. Thanks !

I know what a microswitch is, please look at these links, here are the proof there is (or maybe there was) a tiny speaker in some mighty mouse and wireless mighty mouse:

and this:

and I can keep giving you tens of links to proof you that actually there is (or maybe there was) a tiny speaker inside the mighty mouse and the wireless mighty mouse, If yours came without one it doesn't necessarily mean all came without one, right? That is why I asked you what version you have in order to figure out which ones does have the speaker and which one doesn't.

Wireless Mighty Mouse won't work properly with MacBook/tech support stumped

Hi. First post. Anyone heard of this problem? Appears to be location-sensitive. Problem described below, but first, short background...
Just bought entire Mac system after decades in corporate world with PC. Believed the TV ads that it would be simple. Already have been back to Mac store 6 times and have spent roughly 7 hours on phone with help line. Mac store even replaced Macbook entirely in case it was faulty logic board/Bluetooth circuit -- didn't help. Also, problem doesn't happen in store. So, to get to the point:
Wireless Mighty Mouse doesn't work properly when hooked up to Macbook -- herky-jerky, slow, unresponsive, sluggish, imprecise, intermittently better/worse. Went through a few Mighty Mouses and finally gave up; now using hardwire mouse and there's no problem. But before I return Mighty Mouse for refund, would like to see if there's a solution b/c I'd prefer wireless.
System is the latest little souped-up Macbook, 23" HD Cinema external monitor, external wireless Apple keyboard (which works fine), wireless Mighty Mouse (the culprit), Airport Express, HP printer. All brand new from local Mac store (Fifth Avenue, New York)... where the Genius counter folks have given up. I'm not convinced they believe me because (a) the problem doesn't occur there, and (b) after a couple of new Mighty Mouses, they finally just gave me a new Macbook to make me go away... but after going through the whole system setup once again, same problem. Have tried many different mousepads, BTW.
Tried all the stuff phone tech support suggested -- removing/installing/reinstalling software, etc. Airport works fine; using modem and printer connections there. Bluetooth works fine with keyboard. I've scouted around for intefering devices; even unplugged electrostatic loudspeakers and old tubed amps in living room (concrete wall separates rooms), unplugged hifi in same room, etc. On 40th floor of Manhattan hi-rise; concrete walls between neighbors. Have never had interference before with anything; previous PC system worked fine with Microsoft wireless (optical) mouse.
This is no longer urgent because hardwired Apple mouse works well. It's just mysterious.
Any thoughts?
Other than that, I like the Mac environment so far. Fifth Avenue store is cool, also, because it's open 24/7.

Hey, thanks! That was fast. I'm impressed by the Mac community.
This program helped my hardwired mouse, actually, and did give me wider parameters on the wireless mouse, but it didn't correct the herky-jerky/sluggishness -- actually amplified those problems.

Wireless Mighty Mouse Pointer not moving

Need some advice. My 7 month old IMAC wireless mighty mouse is scrolling fine but does not move the pointer...can someone help? Thanks!

Hi Rich:
That file is located in Macintosh HD>library>preferences. Sometimes (rare, but it happens) preference files become corrupted - causing all sorts of odd behavior.
If that does not help, try resetting the PRAM:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
If that does not fix the problem, take the mouse to an Apple store or call Applecare and indicate you have a warranty issue. Apple does replace things under warranty at no cost (shipping paid both ways). I have had a mouse and keyboard replaced in the past and was pleased with the service.

Does IceMat work with Mighty Mouse Wireless?

I am looking for the perfect mousepad. I am tired of the tiny and flimsy mousepads that move all over the place.
After looking around I found the IceMat. It looks pretty nice and seems like it might be a very good mousepad (It better for $30+).
Has anyone used the IceMat with the Mighty Mouse (Wireless)? If so, how was it? Has anyone used the IceMat at all? What do you think?
Any other suggestions for the perfect mousepad?
IceMat Manufacturer site:
http://www.icemat.com/
IceMat on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Icemat-10012-2nd-Edition-Blue/dp/B000BCZ8Q8

I used IceMat before and I won't suggest it for any mouse from apple.
If you really want a nice mousepad, go for FUNC1030. I am using it
with apple mighty mouse and they work pretty well together.
You can find more information about it on www.func.net
The reason I don't suggest IceMat is that if you read the description from its website carefully, you should notice it's made of glass. It will kill your mouse very fast. That's why they also sell Icemat Padsurfers to protect your mouse. However, none of them work with mighty mouse. Also, for a mousepad which has a hard material surface, you need to clean it very often. At least once a week or might be more often.

Wireless Mighty Mouse & No Bluetooth

Hi
Some time back when my MacPro was still in warranty I complained to Apple that my Mighty Mouse wasn't working. They sent me a replacement - a wireless Mighty Mouse. I have no Bluetooth so I complained and they sent me a wired one.
Now I've got to thinking there's times when I could do with getting that wireless mouse to run....
Can anyone explain how to do this? Can I just buy a dongle or some such to stick in a USB port? Or is that not possible with this machine?
Thanks in anticipation
Jim

Hi Kappy - you're right in thinking my MacPro came without - it was a Refurb, so the basic model.
Appreciate your point that some BT to USB adaptors may be better than others, and I'll google for suggestions which might be best for MacPro - had hoped someone here might have knowledge of what works and what doesn't.
Meanwhile I'm 100 miles of Scottish highland roads from the nearest Apple retailer, so I'll see if anything emerges from websearches before I pack it up for the journey!!
thanks for your help
Jim
