Connection to Magic Mouse lost on Restart

Every time I do a Restart on my G5 iMac I lose the Bluetooth connection to the Magic Mouse. Sometimes it reconnects quickly, but other times it doesn't. I've had to power the iMac completely off a few times to get it to reconnect. Once it's reconnected I never have any problems until the next Restart. Any ideas?

I would add the Magic Mouse to bluetooth favorites. I use Snow Leopard but I think the process is the same for Leopard.
Go to System Preferences > Bluetooth > Highlight the Mouse on the left > click the gear icon below the list > check "show more information" if not already checked. > return to the gear icon and select "add to favorites".
That should help with a speedy reconnect.

  • Magic Mouse lost scrolling function-no evidence of USB overdrive installed

    My magic mouse lost its scolling function after my son's friend used his own USB mouse for gaming on my iMac. I've read the discussion forums and thought the problem could be a conflict w/USB overdrive but there's no evidence of it in my utilities folder:
    Here are the current system preferences for the mouse, which appear to me to be in working order (am I missing something?):
    and
    And info from my system profiler:
    Have restarted ad infinitum after making minor adjustments: changing batteries, re-paring the mouse, and running software update. Any other suggestions would be welcome--- other than throtteling the little reprobate who plugged his usb mouse into my imac w/o asking Let me know if you need additional system information, too, and I'll post it ASAP.
    Thanks-Andrew

    Thanks Captfred, but unfortunately the problem still persists. It was checked so I tried it a few different ways, too.
    -Unchecked it then rechecked
    -Unchecked it then rechecked then restarted
    -Unchecked it then restarted then rechecked
    -Unchecked it then restarted then rechecked then restarted again...
    -Said a few naughty words then restarted...
    -Swore on the grave of Steve Jobs that I'd stand in line for the iPhone 5 then restarted...
    -Did the hokie pokie then restarted...
    Nada.
    What an odd bug. You think I need I reinstall the OS?

  • STILL cant get Windows 7 to connect to Magic Mouse

    Hello All,
    Firstly, pardon my ignorance. I am new to Macs and have been having a rough time adjusting.
    My problem is: I have a dual partition (Mac OSX and Windows 7). I am having an unbelievably hard time trying to connect the Magic Mouse in Windows 7. I have tried installing the Mac OSX Bootcamp drivers etc. I have also followed the article that says to boot in OSX first and then unpair-repair your mouse. (Which I am still a bit confused as to how to do)
    Anywho, I am not sure what else to do. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have checked Device Manager and the Apple "driver" is definitely present.
    Thank you for your suggestions and time

    The Magic Mouse is not supported by Windows. If you get it to work, it's functionality will likely be hampered by it's lack of official support and official drivers, etc. Any drivers that are being made available are non-official and likely unsupported.
    Note the system requirements from Apple's site on the device:
    System Requirements
    * Mac computer with Bluetooth wireless technology
    * Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0* or Mac OS X v10.6.1 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0
    * Existing keyboard and mouse for setup
    * Two AA batteries (included)

  • Whenever I connected my Magic Mouse to my Macbook pro retina, the Internet doesn't right away...

    Whenever I connected my Magic Mouse to my Macbook Pro Retina, the Internet does't work right away,
    and while I disconnected the Mouse, it works immediately......
    Does anyone has the same prob. or know why it happens?
    Please help me out and thanks for your kindness!

    But I tested, I clicked a link and it started loading, and when I got the Mouse connected, it stops the process and got stuck...
    And I clicked a link again, now with the mouse connected, it stuck forever, and when disconnected the mouse, it immediately works!

  • Can I connect my Magic Mouse to my Dell Laptop?

    I bought a new laptop from Dell a couple months back and i have a USB mouse to go with it. My Mom liked the USB mouse better than the magic mouse so we switched. I was able to connect the magic mouse to my laptop but the scroller wouldn't work. So i tried turning the mouse off and back on again. After I did this the magic mouse could no longer be found by the laptop and yes it is on discovery mode. For those wondering my which laptop i have it is a Dell Inspiron 15r.

    Ok I have giten it to connect again by removing it from the laptop and adding it again. Now I need to solve the no scrolling problem

  • 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?

  • Lost connection between Magic Mouse and iMac

    My Magic Mouse is constantly losing the bloototh link with the iMac. I read in some forums that this bug is frequent with Mac OS X 10.6.8 but I haven't found any answers. BTW, batteries are not the problem since I have already tried it with several new batteries.
    Could anyone please give me a solution to it?
    Thanks!

    Paul,
    I don't think you did anything wrong.  I think it was just "one of those things".  Things should be OK now.
    Give a shout if they aren't.

  • Magic Mouse lost multi touch?

    Bluetooth connection is fine (iMac OSx 10.6.8 and most current wireless mouse software) but anyone know why I lost multi touch function?
    That's the magic!!

    thats not it.  Magic mouse in Lion went dead, AND so did ALL Multi-touch gestures on my trackpad.
    Last time I ran into this, I re-booted (NO PREFERENCES CHANGED) and the system worked fine.  This time, I ran the "Magic Perfs" (freeware to customize Magic Mouse preferences...) this is software related I feel.
    I did SOMETHING and POW - Multi-touch gestures gone... any one else running into this?

  • Magic mouse lost at startup, WiFi dropping

    Hello,
    since Lion is running nearly each time I wake my iMAC from sleep, the magic mouse is lost and I need to completely reboot.
    Yes, I did follow all tipps (delete and install magic mouse new,...). No change.
    Additionally the WiFi-connection dropps every few minutes. And most often reconnects when switched off and on again.
    And again: yes, I reinstalled the connection totally, no change.
    These problems newer occured with SL. So I will not change anything on  the router for the WiFi-problem.
    I think Apple need to solve these problems asap, because I read about losts of people having the same sincere problems, because it hinders working...
    When will there be a solution?

    You are welcome. Those resets frequently fix odd problems.

  • Been losing connection for magic mouse and wireless keyboard

    When I have my MBP running Mavericks in clamshell mode, I lose connections to both magic mouse and apple wireless keyboard in clamshell mode. I've tried all the PRAM SCM, aluminum foil and paper tricks. What I then did was test what happens when I leave the MBP open rather than in clamshell mode and it appears to avoid losing connection, at least that is what I've concluded with Mavericks for now..... anyone else able to replicate this? Having to leave the MBP open is not ideal.

    Barry, thanks, still not working.  I've tried every thing I can think of or have read, what I'm concluding is that there is either a problem with Mavericks or something has changed on how bluetooth works in Mavericks. Did not have this problem for the last 4 years. I can reproduce the problem when I close the laptop. I had the Bluetooth and wireless card checked out and replaced about 3 weeks ago. Problem has continued.

  • It is possible to connect the magic mouse, magic trackpad and the apple wireless keyboard at once on the same Bluetooth network on the new iMac?

    I want to buy a new iMac but in my country the iMac just come with the magic mouse and I want the trackpad for the multitouch geastures. Can you help me with this question?

    Yes you can have multiple Bluetooth devices connected simultaneously. I believe you have have up to 7 BT devices at one time.

  • Connecting a Magic Mouse using Bluetooth

    Can anyone help. I seem to be experiencing periodic disconnections between my magic mouse and my MacBook Pro 13" mid 2010 running OSX 10.7.2. After selecting "Connect" a couple of times, it seems to resolve the problem only to re-occur a couple of hours later. Many thanks.

  • MacOSX forgetting Magic Mouse settings after restart

    Hello together,
    since today my MacOS X (MacBook Pro, 10.6.6, early 2011) seems to forget my Magic Mouse movement settings every time I restart OSX and after waking up from sleep mode. The settings are always put to minimum automatically.
    Every time I have to fix it in the System settings.
    I have already repaired the HDD access rights and set the Magic Mouse to Favorite. Without effect to the problem.
    Does anybody have an idea what could be the reason for this problem and how to solve it?
    Thanks and Regards
    Manuel

    Manuel,
    Try going into System Prefs->Accounts. Unlock it. Look in "Login Items" and delete MagicPrefs application. Restart your computer. It worked for me...

  • Bluetooth drops connection with Magic Mouse

    Quite often the connection between my Macbook Pro (15" retina) drops connection with my Magic Mouse. The drop varies from heavily lagging to full disconnect. Sometimes it works just reconnecting, but other times it won't connect at all.
    Lately I've discovered that disabling WiFi makes the Magic Mouse connect immediately. Given that many people seem to have issues with WiFi when bluetooth is enabled, I suspects that there are some issues with to coherence of the two technologies. I know that both of the tech uses the same bandwith (2,4 GHz), just separated by what channel they use.
    My issue started after installing Yosemite, first beta and now final release, so it looks to me as a software issue.
    Anyone else with the same problem that might have more insight or maybe even a respons from Apple support?

    Make the device a favorite.
