IMac 27" i5: Bluetooth Enabler Driver Problem with Magic Mouse and Keyboard

So I just got my iMac 27" Quad Core i5 computer and was able to succesfully install Windows 7 64-bit (using this guide to get past the blank screen problem http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10533092). I then installed the Boot Camp 3 drivers from the Mac OS CD and updated windows via Windows Update. Everything seemed to work well.
I even had right click and scrolling capabilities with the MAGIC MOUSE! Also, all the keys were functional on the wireless keyboard.
However, after a few minutes of use the keyboard and mouse would hang and get stuck and I would have to do a hard reboot of the machine. I uninstalled the Apple Bluetooth drivers from the Add/Remove Programs menu and it fixed the problems with the devices getting stuck. However, function keys on the keyboard (brightness, volume, etc.) and scrolling in the Magic Mouse now not work. Is anyone else having this problem?

I found a solution, and everything now works! I followed step three in this discussion http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2221427&tstart=0 which says:
Disable power management for Bluetooth Radio. Open device manager, open Bluetooth Radios and right click on "Apple Bluetooth". Select the "Power Management". Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

  • Connection problems with Magic Mouse and handoff

    I did a clean install of 10.10.3 and since then the Magic Mouse has had problems connecting. First it wouldn't pair. After a few reboots and repeated attempts I was able to pair the mouse with the rMBP. After waking from sleep it now no longer connects. I select the mouse in the Bluetooth menu and connect. Connection appears on the screen, but the mouse doesn't respond. After a few moments I get Connection Lost on the screen.
    In addition to the mouse problems I have completely lost any hand off capability to or from the iPhone to the rMBP or back. It's like the Bluetooth connection between the devices is not working or is too weak to function.
    It would be very much appreciated if any one has any suggestions on the cause or to a solution.
    Thanks.

    Hey Tom,
    NVRAM and PRAM are, while technically different, effectively the same. Newer systems utilize NVRAM to store the same information that was stored in PRAM on older Macs.
    On older Mac computers, similar information was stored in Parameter RAM (PRAM). Resetting NVRAM on Intel-based Macs using the same key combination is like resetting PRAM.

  • Problems with Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard battery levels 10.6.7

    How can I fix it?
    This is driving me crazy!

    Getting Bluetooth set up initially in Bootcamp is a bit of a hit and miss affair in my experience, but persistence pays off, and connection is reliable. I gave up with the keyboard on my Mac Pro at one stage, tried again a few days later and it worked.
    How did you do it?
    Persistence and repetition, reading lots of threads and getting snippets from various sources, can't recall any silver bullets.
    Have you searched this forum, there are a LOT of posts on the subject.
    Links please? I can't find any.
    If you type "bluetooth" in the search box while at the top level of the Bootcamp section you will get six pages of hits. Here are just a few, not necessarily the best or a complete list or in any particular order, but they contain relevant info.
    I can't remember the detail now but one of the key steps for me was launching the bluetooth "service" mentioned in some of these links. Initially option wasn't appearing at all. Also mine (and others) seems to need a single click after boot to be activated. If you try and move it before a click it won't respond so you might think it wasn't working.
    BTW I am assuming you have successfully installed the Boot Camp 3.1 drivers?

    I am afraid at this point I stopped trawling through looking for the most relevant ones so the above is incomplete.

  • Problems with a mouse and keyboard

    The keyboard and Mouse froze some one has any solution to this matter thanks.
    the keyboard works perfect in onthercomputer as well as the mouse does.

    Are you using an Apple pointing device and keyboard?
    Is there anything around the Minis that would restrict wifi reception?
    I just moved my external HD from directly on top of my 2009 Mini and it improved wifi speed.. I also use the Apple trackpad and small BT Apple keyboard.
    The BT/wifi card is not replaceable. You could purchase a USB wifi adopter

  • Does apple have an issue with magic mouse and adobe

    does Apple have a problem with magic mouse and Adobe Photoshop/Indesign/Illustrator, scrolling uncontrollable, pages moving of their own accord etc.
    If so, whats the cure and why does Apple not admit to it?
    Badgolfer4

    it's rare that a mouse would perform in a different manner between different applications
    I would troubleshoot with other apps to see if it was just adobe apps
    and then I would troubleshoot by trying a different mouse
    could be the mouse was defect

  • Bluetooth problem with OSX Yosemite: Magic Mouse and Keyboard

    Hello everyone,
    I've a problem on my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 13" (late 2013).
    I've always used it plugged with an external monitor (I love double screen), magic mouse and bluetooth keyboard. On Mavericks everything was perfect with this setup.
    Yesterday I installed OSX Yosemite and I've found a boring problem: my Magic Mouse and my Bluetooth Keyboard have a 0.5 second of latency, lag. This happen when the Macbook is not plugged with battery charger. When he is on charge, the problem don't exist.
    I noticed this bug also on the public beta of this summer and submit the feedback.
    I hoped that they fixed this before release but the bug is still here.
    How can i solve this boring problem?

    I also reported this issue again and again during each beta release.
    This makes the MacBook basically unusable in battery power for doing any kind of design and coding work.
    I don't have any bluetooth addons or third party utilities. I also tried clearing PRAMs, and reinstalling Yosemite, to no avail.
    Here are some threads about the issue, which, I'm noticing, is common.

    Note that while the issue is kind of tolerable using the mouse, it's tragic with the keyboard.
    Does this prevent you from using OS X Yosemite?
    The issue makes it very difficult for me to use OS X Yosemite

  • Boot-camp/Windows with cordless mouse and keyboard

    I am picking up my 27" quad core iMac tomorrow. In anticipation I bought the Pogue book on Snow Leopard. In it he says that you can't install Windows with the cordless mouse and keyboard but that once installed it can be used with the cordless mouse/keyboard. Will someone please tell me he is wrong .
    Thanks.
    Alan

    I used mine to install Windows. Worked just fine till the Apple Bluetooth drivers were installed, then I just had to connect a regular USB keyboard/mouse to pair the bluetooth keyboard and mouse again.
    One suggestion, after you install the Boot Camp drivers and plug in your USB keyboard/mouse, uninstall the "Apple Bluetooth" drivers (I believe there are two of them) and restart your computer. Let Windows automatically install generic drivers for the built in bluetooth, THEN pair your wireless keyboard and mouse. After that you can reinstall the Apple bluetooth drivers if you want, although I don't think it's particularly necessary. The generic drivers seem to work fine in my experience.
    You may run into trouble pairing your keyboard and mouse, if so, refer to the "Boot Camp" section on this site, there are millions of threads about it there.

  • Macbook pro 2012 bluetooth problem with magic mouse

    I have a MacBook Pro 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 running Mac OS X 10.7.4
    It's two days old and Bluetooth has stopped working.. I use bluetooth for my apple magic mouse.
    I know it's the Bluetooth app and not the mouse as I changed the mouse batteries and double checked it with my old iMac.
    The Bluetooth app has become sluggish and unresponsive.
    I have restarted and logged out and in.
    Run permissions.
    Switched Bluetooth off and on.
    Scratched my beard.
    Any ideas or similar problems?

    Not sure which Bluetooth app you are referring to ... 
    Try deleting Bluetooth preferences ...
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    /LIbrary/Preferences
    Click Go
    Move the   com.apple.Bluetooth.plist   file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    Now open System Preferences > Bluetooth and try re "pairing" the mouse.

  • Connection problem with Magic Mouse

    Hello
    I've just upgraded my iMac with Snow Leopard. My MM was working perfectly before but now, when I power on the mouse, the computer doesn't reconnect it.
    The "Favorite" option on bluetooth device is set to YES. The only solution is to connect another USB mouse and reconnect the MM manually.
    I attempted to delete the MM and reconnected it....no result.

    Hello
    It didn't solve my problem .
    I tried to delete my mouse in bluetooth prefs several times. When I detect it again, I don't need to execute the pairing process, the system recognize the mouse immediatly. Perhaps a "ghost" of my mouse in any configuration file persists!?
    Thank you

  • Safari update - problem with magic mouse

    Hi all, I recently installed safari update to 5.1 (6534.50) on a mabbook pro OS X 10.6.8. Ever since update, I've been experiencing the problem with safari reloading pages and kicking me out of websites that use flash player (back to log-in screen). I can deal with that by using another browser, however the update has really messed up my magic mouse. At first, every time I put my macbook to sleep or shut it off, the mouse would stop responding when I woke the mac up. I would have to disconnect the mouse and reconnect. But this was really eating up my batteries, so this morning I shut the mouse off when I put the mac to sleep. Now it won't connect at all. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help!

    Thanks Carolyn and Barry,
    I did what Carolyn suggested - moving the .plist file into the trash. I have not resetting the PRAM or SMC yet.
    When I go to system preferences>Bluetooth, I get a screen that says:
    Bluetooth power is off. To use Bluetooth, first you must turn it on. (Note - my mouse is turned on)
    Both ON and DISCOVERABLE are checked.
    In the middle of the screen, it says No Devices (Set Up New Device...)
    When I select set up new device, it finds my device and attempts to pair but is unsuccessful.
    Resetting the SMC and PRAM scares me. After reading the links that Carolyn provided, I remembered another weird issue I had with my mac shortly before the update and mouse issue. For some reason, my clock suddenly became out of sync and I was on a 2000 date. I got an error message and reset the clock manually. Could this be the cause of my mouse issue? I feel like every step I've taken to get my mouse working again has made the problem just a little bigger!
    Thanks again for helping me!

  • Problem with Magic Mouse pairing

    Hello Apple Support Communities
    I have used a Magic Mouse for some time, maybe now an year. But I started having this problem today.
    When the Magic Mouse did not connect with my MBP, I removed the mouse from the Bluetooth and tried to put it back.
    But the Bluetooth Setup Assistant is saying that the pairing did not work, and asked for a passcode or a different pairing method.
    Here's a screenshot:
    Also, I tried using the System Prefrences and click on mouse to set up my Magic Mouse, but it said the same thing; pairing failed.
    Here's a screenshot:
    Is there any solutions to this problem? I hope that you can get me an answer fast, as I use Magic Mouse a lot with my MBP.

    Not knowing what machine you have, it's age, and its current OS X and version doesn't help people help you.    Please could you fill in your profile.
    Do you have, or know someone who has a wired mouse?

  • Connections problems with magic mouse

    I keep losing the bluetooth connection with my Magic Mouse, magic track pad and apple bluetooth keyboard. 
    Magic Mouse problems are daily.  Sometimes it works intermittently.  Track pad problems are less frequent.
    The keyboard gives me problems with the shift key.  When I hit the shift key sometimes it causes texts to be highlighted on screen. When texts are highlighted on screen, they are erased once I hit a new key.  This is extremely frustration.  Any solutions? 

    Usual first attempt for a remedy for these BT problems is to try smc and pram reset.
