If you really want to turn off only the mouse search, but leave the search alone for other BT devices, that's something else. I don't think it's possible, since BT has to first discover a device in order to know what it is.

  • Mystery Bluetooth Mouse Search

    My iMac is searching for a Bluetooth Mouse that I do not own. After multiple restarts, the Bluetooth Setup Assistant window appears over the login window which I can not Force Quit nor Unplug my Computer out of. MY iMac is essentially frozen. Any assistance anyone can provide would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,

  • Bluetooth mouse search??

    I added a USB bluetooth device/dongle to my keyboard and now everytime I start the computer it searches for a BT mouse. I don't have one and never have. I use the bluetooth dongle for syncing my cell phone only. How do I get it to stop searching for a mouse?

  • Bluetooth Mouse Searching

    My imac installed software update and after that when it rebooted now it is searching for a blue tooth mouse and will not let me use the regular mouse to change anything.

    Answered my own question. My mouse went bad during the boot up. Changed the mouse and just hit cancel on blue tooth searching setup and working fine.

  • No bluetooth mouse or keyboard on login on MacBook

    Dear experts,
    Over the weekend I made a fresh SL install (plus update to 10.6.1) onto a new harddisk on my white MacBook2,1. Imported my old users from the old 10.5.8 harddisk. So far things have been fine except for one:
    At the login screen my bluetooth Mighty Mouse and Apple bluetooth keyboard do not work. I have to use the MacBook's built-in trackpad and keyboard. After login both bluetooth keyboard and mouse will work fine. Over time it is annoying as I normally work with an external HD display and the MacBook is positioned across the desk.
    I have already tried enabling and disabling the "wake from sleep" and "open assistant if no bt mouse/keyboard is found at startup" options in the bleuthooth preferences. No assistant will come up. As stated above, once I log in the bluetooth devices will work after a few seconds.
    Under Leopard 10.5.8 the bluetooth peripherals worked for login as well.
    It seems like the bt driver is only loaded after login. Is this a "feature" in SL or can it be helped?
    Your help and advice is appreciated.

    Yes, I already tried re-pairing twice: Once using the bluetooth assistant and the second time the options provided in the mouse and keyboard preferences (configure bluetooth mouse). Neither did solve the problem. I should have written that in my initial post, sorry.
    When I searched the discussions for my problem before posting I did see that some users have bt problems. But my devices work fine, they do not "disappear" in normal operation. They are only not reacting at the login screen.
    Is maybe anybody else using a portable Mac together with bt mouse & kb? I was already thinking that if Snow Leopard detects the internal trackpad and keyboard it does not try to connect the bt ones (as you only need one strictly speaking). But then once I log in they work both and also in parallel (internal and bt) as they did in Leopard (sans Snow).

  • Bluetooth mouse lag

    So here is the situation: I have a Macbook Pro (early 2009 model) with an Apple wireless keyboard and a Logitech V270 bluetooth mouse. Recently, I've been experiencing mouse lag (to the point where I can hardly even use the mouse anymore). The lag is intermittent, but is there more often than not. I've been pounding my head searching for a solution to this problem, and after scouring forums and trying different solutions, I gave up completely on finding a remedy. But before I threw in the towel, I tried one more thing: I disabled the bluetooth on the Apple keyboard and tested the mouse. To my amazement, it worked perfectly! I re-enabled the keyboard, and sure enough the lag returned. Now that I have isolated the cause of the problem, I was wondering if anyone had a solution that would allow me to continue using both my keyboard and mouse? (I have my MacBook on a stand, so it would be impractical to not have one or the other).
    Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

    Update:
    Upgraded to 10.6.5 - No difference..
    Changed/tried all wifi channels - No change to problem.
    Tried a Mac Mouse - slightly less effect but still unusable.
    Tried a USB BT dongle type mouse (no using internal BT AP) - Same issue
    Tried on a friends Wireless Network - Problem only slightly evident - to be expected as this was a slow network at about 1.9MB/s, a transfer speed that does not show the problem.
    Tried using a Netgear wireless intBT mouse router - Problem is only slightly evident on Mac Mighty Mouse, worse on Logitech, evident slightly on ext BT mouse.
    With the Wireless nw running a transfer at 3MB/s, this Network speed drops down to a very slow speed when the "Set up Bluetooth Device" utility is initiated.
    So given that this issue is also experienced by MacBook owners when using BT mouse while doing a File transfer via USB external HDD, or Time Machine. My conclutions are either:
    1.
    The USB ports, BT chipsset and Airport Chipset are all using the same data bus in the Macbook.
    This data bus is not capable of running a high speed, contiguous data transfer in a single direction AND transfer BT wireless data at the same time. Apple Architects may be able to work around this issue by appling higher priority to BT data transfer tasks (Mouse), as it does when the "Set up Bluetooth Device" utility is running.
    or
    2. The BT wireless hardare is eisily susseptable to RF interference. This dont explain USB drive influences however.
    My best bet is to log a Hardware repair request with Apple, as this is indeed a Hardware issue.

  • New RAM made me lose my Bluetooth mouse

    Hey all,
    I recently installed 2GB worth of G.Skill RAM into my blackbook. It was a great upgrade, but I've had really spotty use of my Bluetooth mouse as a result.
    Sometimes it will not connect at all and other times it will work for a few minutes and cut off. I know I've heard a few things about this on this board but I couldn't find any relevant threads via the search feature.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    have you tried putting the old ram back in and seeing if the bluetooth works? this would at least verify that the ram is to blame and then you made be able to get it replaced by g.skill in warranty. I noticed my bluetooth went out more often after replacing my ram, but it wasn't a new problem. putting my old ram back in made no difference.

  • Microsoft bluetooth mouse & satellite P30 series

    I bought a microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth with an adapter USB BlueTooth.
    I put the adapter and bluetooth connection works ok. I was able to communicate with my mobile phone.
    But not my new mouse. On another computer it works fine. On mine I can'y install the driver. When I search for mouse, on bluetooth devices, it is recognized, but when I open again bluetooth devices, it isn't show.
    The driver for TouchPad is overwrited with PS2 IntelliMouse ... and my mouse is not working.
    Can anybody help me?

    Hi
    Unfortunately, its not easy to say why it doesnt work.
    Does the other computer has a touchpad or a extra mouse driver?
    Maybe there are some conflicts with the touchpad driver. You can try to remove the touchpad driver (Alps Touch pad Driver) and then try to test the Microsoft Bluetooth mouse. Maybe after this procedure the mouse will work properly.
    Bye

    Hi, Colin!
    The most closely related Apple KnowledgeBase articles to what you've described that come to mind are:
        • Apple Wireless Mouse: How to Install or Replace Batteries
        • Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Wireless Mouse: How to Check the Battery Level
        • Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse: Troubleshooting Connection Issues
        • Bluetooth: How to Set Up Your Apple Wireless Mouse. [1]
    These articles are a good place to start with troubleshooting this problem.
    When you're having trouble with your iMac G5, searching the KnowledgeBase can often be a big help. Notice that several categories of resources are available. If you have any difficulty at first adjusting to the search engine (I did), check out the ~new Search Help webpage.
    I'll post back a little later with some further comments about what I've observed of my (& other folks') difficulties and solutions with changing batteries and reconnecting, etc.
    Please post back to share your progress and to discuss this further.
    Hang in there!
    Warm regards,
    Dean
    [1] Please note that having a backup "wired" mouse may be required to resolve Bluetooth connection problems. As the "How to Set Up..." article cited above says:"Use a Wired USB Keyboard and Mouse During Setup
    
During the setup process, you'll need to use a USB mouse before the Apple Wireless Mouse can work. Keep a USB mouse connected to the computer until you've completed setting up the Apple Wireless Mouse. After setup is complete, you can disconnect the USB mouse."
    In my experience, a "wired" keyboard is only required when there's a connection problem for which using a startup keyboard shortcut is a critical troubleshooting tool.   (Some of the startup key combinations for Intel-based Macs are different.)

  • Conflict Between Bluetooth Mouse and WIFI?

    I Bought the new MBPR X72 and a Iogitech Bluetooth Mouse.When i download something by Wifi,My mouse can't work well.I search the answer on Google,some people said that there is a conflict between Bluetooth mouse and Wifi.Because they are both use the 2.4G HZ.So anyone can help me ??

    If you are on your home network, you could set the router and MBPr to use only the 5 GHz band if you are using the n-protocol WiFi.  That would mean logging intothe router and changing band usage settings.  The MBPr would follow what it sees as the wireless signal.

  • Problem with bluetooth mouse setup at startup and no usb mouse functions

    Today for the first time ever I got this screen for bluetooth mouse setup at startup. I've never seen this before and have no bluetooth devices. Very weird! It continues to search for a blue tooth mouse and won't let me do anything.The window says "Pairing with your bluetooth mouse.If the mouse is not found, make sure it is discoverable" My generic usb scroll mouse will not function and has always worked fine in the past. I tried plugging in the stock apple usb mouse also and this doesn't function either so there is no way to cancell this out. I've restarted several times and no luck ,can't login and no mouse functions. Just continues to search for a bluetooth mouse . This has me worried as this is recording studio computer and I have a session tomorrow . Any ideas how to get this to bypass this bluetooth window so I can startup and login and get my mouse functions back.
    thanks,Craig

    Solved it on my end... Hope you're not afraid of using some Unix programming...
    I went into Unix mode (start up holding command key and s-key down). black screen with lines of white type pop up. (Means you are now in Unix mode). Give it a few minutes to check all the computer and when it no longer keeps adding any further info on screen type "fsck -fy", that is fsck space minus sign fy and without the quotation marks - exactly as shown inside quotation marks, and hit enter. It will run for several minutes detecting all that makes your computer work... I had in the final lines a message that read "file system modified". If this is the case than re-enter the fsck -fy command. Repeat this until one of the final lines will read "the volume appears to be OK". (I only had to do it twice to get to it). At this stage type "reboot". My mac restarted and I could log in without any sign of the annoying bleutooth mouse message. Hope it will work for you too!

  • Bluetooth mouse stops working when adding a printer: 10.10.2

    Hi,
    I'm using a MacBook Pro 2012 Retina, upgraded to 10.10.2.  Since upgrading to 10.10.2 I have been unable to connect to my Canon MG6150 that is plugged into the USB port of the Time Capsule (3TB).  Those problems will be detailed in a separate post.
    I have tried deleting the printer and creating a new printer and when I click on the + and get the window to select a printer, the bluetooth mouse stops working - the message comes up to show "Connection Lost".  I have to select the printer manually and only when I have returned to the main Printer window in Settings & Preferences does the mouse connection work again.
    Weird.  Between this and not being able to set up the scanning features again (that used to work), I'm feeling underwhelmed...

    sounds like an IRQ conflict. See if disabling plug and play in the bios solves it. Arch's kernel provides this already.

  • Bluetooth mouse won't pair after recent os updates

    Hi there,
    Since I installed the two updates for snow leopard yesterday my bluetooth mouse will not pair.
    I go to setup bluetooth device & when i press the button to make it discoverable it appears right
    away so I click contnue & after a short while get the error message 'The pairing attempt was
    unsuccessful. This configuration of Mac OSX & bluetooth software could be invalid or unsupported'.
    On the initial discovery screen the messages 'searching for devices - one found' then 'updating 1
    device name' appear. Have just tried pairing it on another windows system & it works fine!
    Any advice appreciated.

    If using a 3rd party mouse, check with its manufacturer to determine if they have compatible drivers.
    If using Apple's mouse, post in the Mouse Bluetooth forum area.

  • Qosmio X500 Bluetooth mouse stops responding

    Hi,
    I have the latest bluetooth stack / drivers installed. (Yes, I downloaded the latest from http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/index.php?page=download-toshiba) All drivers are always updated to the latest including the wireless drivers as well.
    Problem: About every 20 - 40 minutes my Logitech bluetooth mouse stops responding. The cursor gets stuck and it won't move at all.
    I tried unpairing / pairing the mouse, that helped, but, then again after 1 hour it stuck again. I re-installed the BT stack and that did not help as well.
    The only way I can use my mouse again when stuck is when I click "Disable Bluetooth Function" and then I "Enable Bluetooth function".
    I do this about 10 times a day and you have no idea how annoying it can get.
    I bought a new Logitech Bluetooth mouse (Logitech M555b) and that did not help as well.
    If anyone could help me out here I would deeply appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Thats strange but unfortunately; I dont have right solution for you but just some advices.
    First of all I googled for this Logitech M555b BT mouse and found several threads about the issues with this mouse.
    The connection issue happens with other computers running windows 7 or XP or iOS (Macbook).
    So it seems that this issue is not related to Toshiba BT stack.
    A friend of mine use other BT mouse from Logitech and it works fine all the time using the Bluetooth stack.
    I recommend checking the Logitech forum to get further details:

  • After Bluetooth Mouse connect it directly disconnect

    Hi community,
    i am a new mac user and i love it, but now i got my first problem i can't resolve.
    I have a bluetooth mouse, which worked for about a month very well. But since today it dosen't work anymore.
    After i start my Mac (Bluetooth is turned on) and then i activte the mouse. My MBA told me that the mouse is found and shows that the mouse is connected via bluetooth but a seconed later the mouse is disconnected.
    I tried to deactivate the wlan but the same result.
    I don't understand that because approximately for the first everything works fine.
    I hope anyone can give me a hint to solve that problem.

    I've never come across this, even when using BT mice, where the system continued to think it was connected. This is not to say it can't happen although I find it a little weird that it is.
    Anyway, I would first try re-pairing the BT MM. Failing that, I guess you can disable BT as an alternative. If BT isn't on it can't think that there's a mouse connected there. Finally, I always kept a really cheap USB mouse at home and office for these type of situations.
