How do I disconnect a wireless mouse?

I have an iMac with a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard. I also have a MacBook Pro with a wireless mouse. Today, for some strange reason, the iMac's wireless mouse disconnected from the iMac and connected to my MacBook Pro. I finally was able to reconnect the iMac mouse to the iMac; however, it is still showing up in the list of wireless mice on my MacBook Pro. It is disconnected from my laptop, but is there any way I can get it off the list?

System Preferences>Bluetooth. You should be able to delete it there.

  • How do you sync a wireless mouse when u cant access anything?

    how is it possible to syn a wireless mouse when u cant access anything on your mac mini without a mouse connected? its like dead in the water without a wired mouse.

    If the mouse is working, it should pair automatically when you reboot, which you can do by holding down the power button for a few seconds.

  • How do i deactivate my wireless mouse from one mac for another

    I have two macs in our home.  My wireless mouse continues to sync with my other mac in a different room.  how do I make it so that it only syncs with the one in front of the computer I'm using?

    To delete it from one machine you need to open the Bluetooth system preferences, select the device in the list on the left, and click the minus near the bottom. 
    On the other machine pair it either again using the Bluetooth preferences (this time using the plus near the bottom to add a device) or the mouse preferences (Setup bluttooth mouse).
    Note you need to un-pair (delete) it first from the one the mouse is currently paired to before you can pair it with the other machine.

  • How do you reconnect a wireless mouse when you can't use it to click options

    reconnecting the wireless mouse when not able to click on options

    Firstly, if you have open windows open, quit everything (⌘ Q simultaneously), once you're back to seeing "Finder" at the top of your desktop screen press ⇧⌘U simultaneously.  Navigate to Terminal, and press ⌘ O to open Terminal.  Type/Paste
    "open /System/Library/CoreServices/Bluetooth\ Setup\ Assistant.app"
    and then hit enter.
    This will open the bluetooth setup assistant, if your mouse is turned on it should find it.

  • How do I disconnect from Wireless to use wired connection?

    Hi - I'm new to this and I apologize if this question is ridiculously easy.
    I am using a cable modem in which I have plugged my WRT160Nv2 wireless router. I am supporting three computers here in my home; my laptop (both wired and wireless), my daughters laptop (wireless only), and my desktop (wired only).
    Everything works great and I have to give all the credit to CISCO and the excellent software which automatically solves every connection problem that comes up.
    My laptop and desktop are connected to the wireless router via cable.
    My question is strictly about my laptop. When I leave my office in the house and go into another room, I establish the wireless connection. Now I am back in my home office room, I want to use my wired connection. How do I do this? Do I need to disable my wireless connection so that my wired connection takes over? Again, I do have my laptop connected to the wireless router via cat5.
    I want to do this strictly for the speed of the connection. I've read that a wired connection is double if not more in Mbps.
    This laptop is running Win XP Pro, SP3.
    I hope this furnishes enough info to assist in an answer.
    Thanks in advance.

    P.S.. I really do want to educate myself regarding the equipment I am using and not have to ask such basic questions. Are there any books or websites you can recommend that can start me out and go as technical as I choose to?

    Windows by default uses the fastest connection possible. If you have a wireless and wired connection active at the same time it depends on how fast both connections are rated. Wireless connections tend to change depending on the distance. Wireless 802.11g goes up to 54 Mbit/s. Wireless 802.11n can go up to some 300 Mbit/s. Wired connections are usually either gigabit ethernet (1000 Mbit/s) or fastethernet (100 Mbit/s).
    Thus, which is picked depends on your computer. You should check the connection status of both connections in the network connections control panel. It shows you the current wireless and wired speed (the latter won't change of course). Very often, the wired connection is preferred to the wireless connection. Now with 802.11n connections the wireless connection is preferred if your wired connection is only fastethernet.
    As your WRT160Nv2 has only FastEthernet LAN ports you have to check how fast the wireless connection is. If you have a 802.11n wireless adapter in your laptop it may show up the wireless connection faster then 100 Mbit/s. Depending on the setting it may change occassionally between 54 Mbit/s and speeds higher then 100 Mbit/s which would lead Windows to swap connections. If you see that problem it is better to switch off the wireless in the laptop while you have a wired connection...
    A wired connection is more reliable and stable then a wireless connection. With wireless you can have interference. Thus, even though a wired connection may be slower then a wireless one you may prefer to use the wired connection anyway. And some people prefer to turn off the wireless to avoid radiation.
    To sum up: usually you don't have to switch off the wireless, unless you experience problems because of the mentioned changing speeds of the wireless connection. The computer will always only use one connection. Not both.

  • HT3055 how do i re-pair my wireless mouse

    I removed my wireless mouse from the bluetooth list on my macbook pro. But i cannot get to pair back the wireless mouse. How do i reconnect the wireless mouse back?

    Have you installed the firmware patch for the printer (here)?  If not, it needs to be installed over a USB connection.  
    Try that and then re-install with these directions.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • My bluetooth is off on my mac so my wireless mouse does not work how do I turn it on --i have no corded mouse, my bluetooth is off on my mac so my wireless mouse does not work how do I turn it on --i have no corded mouse

    my bluetooth is off and I have a wireless mouse- i have turned mac off and disconnected all usb and then turn back on but wireless wont come on so how do I turn it back on (have no idea how it got turned off) without a wired mouse???

    Hello:
    According to Apple's documentation, you cannot turn Bluetooth off unless there is a USB device connected.
    Do you have a wired keyboard?  If so, you could try resetting the PRAM and SMC - although I do not think that would help.

  • Wireless mouse keeps disconnecting

    My Apple wireless mouse keeps disconnecting about every third time when I put the computer to sleep and wake it up later.  I have to reboot to re-establish the bluetooth connection.  What can I do to fix this?

    There has been a lot of discussion about this.  This thread has many suggestions.  https://discussions.apple.com/message/13074761?messageID=13074761#13074761
    I have had this problem on an off (no pun intended) for a very long time.  Had my mouse replaced once at the Apple Store.  Contacted Apple Care about it also when it first occured.   Sometimes changing the batteries helps.  If I am using rechargeables, Energizers seem to fit best.  In one of the threads, someone showed a photo of how the battery contacts are actually different on different brands and suggested that is one reason this occurs.  I find that resetting the SMC is what eventually I have to do and that is what Apple Care suggested also.  I haven't found a permanent fix yet and I don't really expect to, but doing this does give me much longer periods of time without a recurrence.

    It is annoying.  I keep my old wired mouse close by so I can get to it quickly.

  • How can I get my wireless keyboard and my new magic mouse to enter info into a Christmas list app on iphone 3GS? Do I have to move to another room? I have bluetooth on in my iPhone.

    I have wireless keyboard and a new magic mouse. I want to enter data into a Christmas list app on my 3GS iPhone. Too time consuming to just type on iPhone keyboard. How can I get keyboard and mouse to be 'connected' or recognized by my iPhone? I have Bluetooth "on" in my iPhone.

    You cannot connect the mouse.  This is not a feature of iphone
    You can learn about connecting a keyboard in the manual:

  • How can i connect a Wireless Keyboard and a Trust mouse with a brand new Mac mini?

    How can i connect a Wireless Keyboard and a Trust mouse to a brand new Mac mini?

    Go to the Bluetooth icon on the menu bar and select "Set Up Bluetooth Device". Follow the wizard.
    Alternatively, if you haven't yet unboxed and setup the Mini, you can pair the keyboard to the Mini (and possibly the mouse). However, I would set up with a USB keyboard and mouse and pair the Bluetooth devices afterwards.

  • HT3078 When I opened up my Apple Wireless Mouse to replace the batteries, there was a metallic "strip" inside. I have no idea how it goes back in and it isn't shown in the instructions here. Where does it go?

    I have an Apple Wireless Mouse (model A1015 EMC No. 1938).
    I metal "strip" fell out. I can not figure out how to put the strip back in.
    Leaving it out, the mouse doesn't work (no light, no nothing).
    Does the strip actually belong and if so, where does it go?
    I went to the Apple site and looked up how to replace the batteries and started off saying to turn off the mouse. I have no idea how to turn off the mouse. It also did not show a metal strip on the inside.
    When I opened the mouse, the battery cover popped off. Without the metal strip, the cover does not pop off and is very hard to remove.
    HELP!!!

  • My wired Apple Magic Mouse is frozen and I am unable to move around on my Mini Mac.  I receive a window saying the computer cannot locate a wireless mouse.  How do I get my mouse to work again.

    My Magic Mouse is frozen.  How do I get it to work again?  Also I keep getting a window that says it cannot locate my wireless mouse.  I do not have a wireless mouse.

    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

  • Updated to snow leopard, now my mouse does not work I have restarted the computer and there is a box on the start up page looking for a wireless mouse which I do not have.  How do I fix this buy a wireless mouse?

    My mouse quit working shortly after installing snow leopard.
    On the log in screen it is stuck looking for a wirelesss mouse, which I do not have
    How do I get around this besides buying a wireless mouse?

    What kind of mouse do you have? USB? Have you tried to plug it in - try all the USB ports (maybe there is a problem with one). It should automatically detect it.
