Does Magic Mouse sleep when Mac sleeps?

Just out of curiosity, when I put my iMac to sleep, does the Magic Mouse sleep, too? Or is the Magic Mouse still "on"?

Hello c:
Apple Bluetooth devices go into a very low power mode after a brief period of non-use. The devices are still on, but not using much battery power.

  • Why does Magic Mouse sleep in Bootcamp?

    After several seconds it will act as if it has gone to sleep.  A left click wakes it back up but it's such a nuisance that I may have to go back to my previous wired Apple mouse.

    I could not get Bluetooth to connect correctly by letting Windows do the pairing automatically but had to assign four zeros as my code.  I've had to do that on otter stubborn Bluetooth and Windows connections.  Four zeros is a common set to get it done.
    This report is on a Windows 7 Professional BootCamp.  When I go back and forth between partitions both the Mac and Windows recognize the Magic Mouse.  However the sleep condition on the Windows partition is driving me crazy.  I may have to give it up ad go back to my past mouse.  It kills productivity having to fight it every time you stop mouse activity for just a few seconds then have the left click to wake the mouse.  gggrrrr

    The figures you mention only make sense on your intranet.  Are you still using the same wireless router.  The verizon one is somewhat limited as far as max wireless-n performace.  For one thing it only has a 2.4 radio.   I like many people who wanted wireless-n performance before they even added a wireless-n gigabit router, have my own handling my wireless-n network.

    Got confused between your header question about a wired mouse and the main question about a wireless mouse.  You said your magic mouse was frozen and added you do not have a wireless mouse.   Problem is ... the magic mouse is wireless.   The original mighty mouse was the corded version.
    The wired mouse is a regular problem.  After two to three years it tends to clog up. You can clean it (to a degree) as follows.
    Using an alcohol moistened, not wet, cotton bud, scratch at the mouse ball for a minute or so.   Then turn it upside down and on a clean piece of thick white paper or card on a firm surface, vigorously rub the mouse ball on the paper in a regular figure of eight.  Do this for a minute or so and occasionally tap the mouse on the paper.   This will help dislodge bits of fluff etc.   Then try again

  • I lost my bluetooth after installation of Maverick2. Can anyone help me please, i cannot use my magic mouse on my Mac Book Pro  retina???

    I lost my bluetooth after installation of Maverick2. Can anyone help me please, i cannot use my magic mouse on my Mac Book Pro  retina???

    There is a fix; I finally discovered how to clear the Windows 7 xx64 Device Manager's warning of a missing Bluetooth Peripheral device.
    Thinking Boot Camp 4.0 would correct thid, I installed it ititially today only to have the warning remain.
    The Bluetooth company called Broadcom (you notice the reference during the installation of Boot Camp) offers a BlueTooth "device finder" (my phraseology) that detects all BlueTooth devices in your Apple or PC but withing a Windows operating system; included are Windows 7 , Vista, XP and even 2000 operating systems.
    So download the 3 MB file, from Broadcom.com.  While your Bluetooth equipment is plugged in to the computer, run the program.  The program searches for any BlueTooth peripheral activated equipment and BlueTooth devices that makeup your MacBook Pro, or other Apple or a plain PC computer having a Windows operating system installed.  It then downloads the appropriate software required.
    The company's URL address:
    http://www.broadcom.com/support/bluetooth/update.php
    In my case, I ran the program, rebooted my MacBook Pro (in Windows 7 x64 and with the new Boot Camp 4.0 installed) and the missing BlueTooth peripheral device indication was eliminated.  It took 10 minutes to complete. 

  • Does Magic Mouse work with ipad air?

    Does Magic Mouse work with IPad Air?

    Yes, it is a Bluetooth device. However, my iPad will not connect to the mouse.  Not sure why.
    I use my iPad as my personal computer. Mainly for surfing the web, social media, paying bills online... I already have a Bluetooth keyboard that connects to the iPad, so thought it would be nice to have a mouse.

  • Does skype sign out when mac put to sleep?

    Sorry it's a bit off topic but could someone test this for me?
    Does skype log off when you put your mac to sleep by closing the lid.
    Cheers

    It takes you offline, but doesn't log you out (afaict). A few seconds after you open the lid, you're back online.

  • Why does Magic Mouse lag with new Mac Pro?

    My magic mouse worked great on the old G5. Works fine an mini mac. Unusable on the brand new mac pro.
    I have a $10 laptop mouse from an old pc that is wireless through a tiny usb connector that works 1000 times better.
    Why?
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    I have three MM. One just does not work well. The other two are fine with the 2013 Mac Pro. Sometimes you have to clean the optical lens and sometimes they just don't work on any machine.

  • Does Magic Mouse still eject CDs at Startup when holding down?

    Now that the mouse that comes with the new iMac 21.5 and 27" are wireless Magic Mouse, will they still force eject a CD at startup if you hold the mouse button down at startup time? I always thought that is why Apple still sent wired mice and keyboards with new iMacs but it appears now at least the mice shipped are wireless while the keyboard remains a wired one if you get the extended keyboard.
    Just curious if wireless magic mouse will eject a cd at startup.
    tj

    Even before the current iMac, you could order your iMac with only a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard, as extra cost options; then you would not have received a wired mouse or keyboard with the new iMac.
    The startup key presses should work, as long as that wireless keyboard has already been paired with the iMac. They come paired from the factory. I've not specifically read that the mouse button press works too, but I'd guess that it does, since the keyboard startup keys do work.
    (I guess someone who has a new iMac with Magic Mouse can give it a try... )
    If it does not, you can start up with the Option key held down to get Startup Manager. At that screen, press the Eject key on the keyboard.

  • Magic Mouse Disconnecting When Closing MacBook Pro Using External Display

    I have a 2009 MacBook Pro. I am trying to use it in sleep mode with an Apple wireless keyboard and a Magic Mouse. Everything appears to be connected fine. When I close the lid on my MacBook, I click my mouse and the external display comes on for a few seconds, then it cuts out and doesn't come back. I have the Bluetooth device can wake the computer up from sleep checked. When I have the MacBook open, the external display works fine. I only lose the external display a few seconds after I close the lid on my MacBook Pro.
    I have made the Magic Mouse and keyboard favorites and it didn't help.
    Does anyone have any idea? I am running 10.6.8.
    Thanks

    GaryKing, can you review how you reset the .plist files for both the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse?
    I had nothing but good things to say about the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, until I hooked up my 22' Samsung display to my MBP. Power shouldn't be an issue because it's being plugged into the outlet and the external monitor isn't taking power from the MBP. However, my keyboard will keep popping up with the notice "Connection Lost" every 5 or so minutes. Even now, I'm already on the next paragraph but the letters are slowly coming up one by one - it's not registering as fast.
    The mouse experienced the same issue if I'm downloading a lot of files, it will lag behind to the point where I'll drag the mouse to where I want it to be, then a few seconds later it'll pop up where it should, that's how bad the lag is. I thought perhaps restarting the computer will do, but no, and also everything is up-to-date so there are no updates to worry about.
    GaryKing, if you can go over how you reset the .plist files, that would be much appreciated. By the way, it's past a week since your post, how have the Bluetooth devices been working? Did the reset solve the lag issue permanently, or was is just a temporary fix?

  • Magic Mouse "restarting" when 3 fingers touch it

    Hi,
    I have an educational iMac, which don't have Bluetooth built-in. I bought a Magic Mouse and it works perfect with my MacBook (built-in Bluetooth).
    I plugged an USB dongle in my iMac and with it I can use the Magic Mouse. But, when 3 fingers (at the same time) touch the mouse, the mouse "restarts". I don't see: "Connection Lost" on screen, and the mouse works again after 2 or 3 seconds.
    What's the problem? The USB dongle? The AppStore Genius told me it was supposed to work with any USB dongles. Which Dongle (brand) works fine?
    Thanks

    Perhaps this person has misinformed you. Who did you actually speak with? There are no Apple Stores in South America, so there are no real Apple Geniuses, this would have to be a 3rd party retailer's employee. Or did you speak directly with Apple Care on the telephone?
    I am unfamiliar with the Magic Mouse doing anything with the basic software from Apple with three fingers.

  • Why does magic mouse quits working constantly?

    I have two Magic Mouse(s) and both worked fine from day one - early last year, and both now act up constantly with the same symptoms. I am among those who believe it has something to do with Lion. When I boot up, they don't get recognized and when I go to Mouse and search for bluetooth devices - sometimes they are found and most of the time they are not. I can reboot and sometimes get the mouse but often do not.
    I know about adding the paper to help cushion the batteries, hasn't helped. I have the Advanced setting to wake computer with mouse - doesn't help. I saw some reference to booting with a control option and deleting some setting but can't find out exactly what that is all about. Love using this mouse, especially swiping, and want to make it work.
    Right now I have one of those huge "ergonomic" bricks in my palm and can't stand it! Please let there be an answer.
    Thanks

    I think I have solved my own problem. My wife's Mac is just on the other side of the wall in the adjacent room. She came in to my room to tell me her cursor was moving all over the screen without her control. Guess what? My mouse was paired to her computer and while I was moving mine around to see if it would work, it was moving around on her screen! Not sure exactly how that happened but I went in and removed the mouse from her's and now my computer pairs with it as it is supposed to. Case closed for now.

  • Why does magic mouse keep disconnecting?

    I've got an Apple Magic Mouse  that is less than one year old and it keeps disconnecting from my Mac Mini.  It just started doing it.  I've put in fresh batteries and restarted the computer.   I've got all the latest operating system software.   Nothing is out of date.   Every couple of minutes it just randomlly disconnects then reconnects and so on, over and over again.  It's only about 2 feet away from my Mac Mini.
    Anybody know what to do?
    Thanks.
    David

    I thank you for your help, Ascendi, but I have no idea what you're saying.  I'm guessing I stand alone, because others do understand.  What I got from it was that the batteries don't fit snuggly, and to shove aluminum foil... somewhere.  I'm don't have a PhD in battery terminal dimensions and their terminonolgy.  But I do appreciate that you helped.
    David / Flashkube2... EXACTLY!  After years and years with my wonderful white Magic Mouse, just today the exact same thing started happening, only I was losing connection every 20 seconds.  Half the time, I'd get it back.  I feared it was a Bluetooth error, or a hacker was "stealing my juice"  So I got online here, read this stuff, wiggled my batteries around (for years and years, I've only used Duracel), and for the last 10 minutes, I have kept connection with Mr. Mouse and Mr. Mac.  Keep your fingers crossed!
    So if this problem arises again, I just stuff aluminum foil in there?  (I'll be a wee bit neater than "stuff").  Speak "positive terminal" and "negative terminal" and "top of the batteries" to me, because "depth of the recess" and "vernier caliper" are Chinese to me.  Does "battery recess" mean how the two batteries sit in its casing?
    Maybe I just didn't have enough coffee this morning.  I'm not ususally shtooo-pid.  (don't go there!)
