Connect to bluetooth mouse with no passkey

My bluetooth mouse (Microsoft Notebook Presenter 8000) needs no passkey when pairing yet there doesn't seem to be any way within the Playbook interface to indicate this so I'm unable to pair it.
Has anyone found a way around this sort of a problem or will it have to wait for a RIM fix?

Have a Dell Bluetooth mouse... Playbook asks for pass key, opens a box to enter it...   it connects with 0000 pass key entered into the Playbook.In adding a Dell Bluetooth keyboard, a pass key appears on the Playbook screen... enter it into the keyboard, and it connects.

  • Bluetooth Mouse with Windows Vista

    I have a 5 month old iMac and installed Vista on it and I was able to connect my bluetooth mouse and keyboard to it just fine.. But my brother-in-law just got a new iMac and I installed Vista on it for him and when I try to connect his bluetooth mouse with it it wont work it works in Mac OS X but wont let me connect it to Vista. It gives me some error about unable to pass passcode onto it or some junk..
    Anyone have this problem and/or how to fix it?

    It is probably unlikely to be the mouse but it could be. Otherwise my vista install took a good half hour to do the pairing for no real reason, I just kept trying. So from me just persist with it and try reinstalling the bluetooth driver, it seems to be a problem most people have a problem with the wireless mighty mouse at first I don't know why. Sorry I'm not helpful but as for as I now there isn't a solution because it will work.

  • Using an Apple Bluetooth mouse with a pc

    Is it possible to use the Apple Bluetooth mouse with a pc and windows XP using WIDCOMM. I've tried to connect mine and although the pc sees the mouse, it tries to pair using a security code. This is despite the fact that it later says a security code is not required! Anyone got any experience of this?

    Problem solved. Security code 0000 entered, mouse paired with pc and everything worked beautifully.

    Welcome to the Forum!
    Well, there is no big deal about USB mouse, it's plug and play.If your mouse doesn't work at all, then its broken, or it's not compatible with mac. Test it in a PC.

  • Unable to connect to bluetoothe mouse (microsoft notebook mouse 5000) because of missing passcode

     whn i pair my mouse i need a passcode. i do not have the box of the mouse becuase it is really old, how do i connect without a psscode or what is the passcode?

    See Microsoft KB952818
    A Microsoft Bluetooth mouse does not require a passkey to connect to the computer.
    If you are prompted for a passkey, select No passkey. If you do not get the
    No Passkey option, try to enter 0000 as a passkey by using your keyboard.

  • Connecting a Bluetooth Mouse is a Long Process Now

    I have a MacMice Bluetooth mouse that I have had since I had OS 10.4 installed. In OS 10.4 it was easy to connect. Once I had paired the mouse with the computer all I had to do was turn on the mouse and wait a few seconds for it to connect. Then I installed OS 10.5 and it would no longer connect that easy. Under OS 10.5 I had to go up to the bluetooth menu item and go down to "MacMice" in the drop down menu and choose connect. All this with the trackpad. Then I can use the bluetooth mouse.
    Now, I am on OS 10.6 and it still doesn't connect as easily as turning it on and Apple seems to have made it even harder to connect. I now have to go up to the Bluetooth menu item and go down to "MacMice" in the drop down menu but connect is no longer there. Now I have to click on "Open Mouse Preferences..." and then wait for it to find the mouse and then click on connect and then close the preferences. Talk about a bunch more steps that used to be just one step for me.
    Any ideas on ways around this to get it to work as it did in OS 10.4?

    You could try to find a new driver. I agree that the menu options are more convoluted. I've even been insulted (repeatedly) by selecting the previously paired mouse, finding no option to connect, going back to the menu (you can get there from the menu bar, by the way) to choose "set up a bluetooth device", and having the %$#& system tell me that my mouse is "already paired" and insisting that I acknowledge this before it will let me connect. But somehow, magically, my Kensington Bluetooth mouse is now happy with 10.6, and it no longer requires reconnection when I come back to the computer and wake up the display. Maybe the same lucky stroke will happen to you.

  • Imprecise, Jumpy, Erratic Bluetooth Mouse with Video

    I have been suffering with an erratic Bluetooth mouse problem for almost a year now on my 3.06ghz Imac. Recently, I have noticed others mentioning the same issue with the new Magic Mouse. (See Imac Forum). Therefore, in an attempt to raise the status of this issue I am posting a video in order that Apple Care and other Mac users can see the issue in action.
    The jumpiness gets worse when downloading a large file or when copying or moving a large file. I have posted more details in Upper right corner of Youtube page.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBzisliiVpg

    A quick update to the jumpy mouse saga:
    After a year of problems with a jumpy mouse (see videos below) *I purchased a Magic Mouse to see if the Magic Mouse would solve the jumpiness issue. It did but the tracking speed was very slow. Therefore, I installed MouseZoom to increase the tracking speed. After installing MouseZoom I started noticing the jumpy mouse problems again.*
    _*This finding is very interesting!*_
    _*It implies that the faster the mouse movement the more likely one is to see an erratic mouse with the pointer making unrequested jumps around the screen.*_
    My hypothesis is that the operating system or processor is not allocating enough resources to the mouse if the tracking speed is set to a high level.
    _*The "jumpy mouse" problem seems to be far worse when the hard disk is running - either copying or downloading a large file*_. Some users are reporting that watching a high resolution flash video will also cause the mouse to skip and jump.
    I am certain the problem is software related because the same exact mouse works perfectly in Bootcamp 2.1 and Bootcamp 3.0 in Windows XP SP3.
    _*Youtube now has two videos showing the problem*._ You can view the videos here:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxLY3-pH-rs
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBzisliiVpg
    If you are suffering from similar problems may I suggest three actions:
    * Use the Quicktime X screen recording function to record a video of the problem.
    * Post the video to YouTube.
    * Contact Apple Care and share your video problem description with them.
    * Send a note referencing the video and description to www.apple.com/feedback
    Category: Mac OSX Feedback
    Feedback Type: Bug Report
    Feedback Area: Peripheral/Device Support
    I will update this video to let you know if the problem has been solved. I am hopeful that Apple will be able to find the source of the problem and solve it quickly. I really like my Mac and I can hardly wait for the problem to be resolved.
    Here is hoping that 10.63 will resolve this issue once and for all!

  • 5k iMac looses connection to bluetooth mouse

    Brand new 5k iMac looses connection to Apple Bluetooth mouse.
    Sometimes it reconnects automatically, sometimes I have to turn it off and on again to reconnect.
    It happens all day long. Really frustrating!!!
    Anyone knowing if it is hardware or software related?
    Any suggestions for å solution is appreciated...

    Thank's for your reply rkaufmann87, but it is not setup related.
    The wireless mouse worked without any problems om my previous iMac.
    On the new 5k, it seems that the Bluetooth-connection disconnects the mouse, without any obvious reason, then reconects after 5-15 sec's.
    This happens regularly during the day.
    Both machines is running OS10.10.1

  • I want to use a bluetooth mouse with my ipad 2 any suggestions?

    I have seen similar discussions, but since there didn't seem to be an answer, I thought I would try again.
    I use PocketCloud Pro to access my virtual PC.  It has a nifty mouselike display, but I would like to use an actual mouse.  With my bluetooth keyboard and a mouse, I could abandon my laptop altogether and work exclusively from my ipad. 
    I have read about jailbreaking, but don't really want to go this route.  Is there any app or mouse that will allow me to do this?  If you can use a mouse after jailbreaking, why is this not a possibility?

  • Reconnecting bluetooth mouse with only keyboard

    I have an iMac with Lion 10.7.2 and a mightymouse, and bluetooth keyboard.
    I am using rechargeable batteries on the mightymouse and on occasion when switching batteries in the mouse the bluetooth does not reconnect.
    Is there a keyboard only method of resetting and pairing the mightymouse to the imac?
    (it works fine if I go find another usb mouse and do it using that but I would rather do it directly from the keyboard)

    Turn on Mouse keys by pressing Option key 5 times (fairly rapidly).  This will allow you to use the following keys to move the cursor and click.  Hold the keys down for more rapid movement.
    8  up
    k  down
    u  left
    o  right
    i   click (left click)
    This will allow you to select bluetooth on the menubar or open System Preferences.
    Press the Option key 5 times again to exit mouse key mode.

  • Replacing bluetooth mouse with USB mouse

    I have no need for a wireless mouse, and so just plugged in an old usb mouse, which works OK, except that when I reboot the computer, the USB mouse is not recognized at the login screen. Also, after I log in using the keyboard, the USB mouse is still not recognized until I unplug it and plug it back in. Anyone know how to tell the iMac to recognize it on startup?
    thanks

    Hi T-Bob
    People seem to have had variable experiences with at least some versions of the Kensington drivers - see http://www.macupdate.com/reviews.php?id=5805
    I see that their "Mouseworks" driver package is now up to version 2.9 - http://us.kensington.com/html/1385.html#mac28 Is this the version you installed? Have you checked the configuration options in the System Preferences?
    I notice elswhere on their site that you should uninstall any earlier versions first (using the "uninstall option in the installer) before putting on a new one. Not sure if you had an earlier one installed though.
    It is just possible that any OTHER mouse or graphic tablet / game controller software could also be causing conflicts with the Kensington drivers. This could include either the bluetooth or mighty mouse software I guess. I'm reluctant to suggest removing them though, as they are part of the general system software and we don't want to risk leaving you completely rodent free!
    Sounds like you did the PRAM reset properly.
    Another option for you might be the famous "USB Overdrive" - http://www.usboverdrive.com/USBOverdrive/Information.html THis is third party software that has been used to tame many an unruly input device over the years. I haven't used recent versions but it was certainly a worthy product in days gone by. You can download a fully operational trial version.
