Initialisation problem with Logitech Mx900 Bluetooth Mouse

Dear all,
I have a recent problem with the initialisation of the Bluetooth connection at startup with my Logitech Mx900.
The system fails to connect with the device. I have to go to the bluetooth pane (with the USB mouse) and to make a search in order to get the connection.
This is very disturbing issue.
I have seen quite the same topic with an intellimouse. Is there some general issue with 10.4.4 or Bluetooth firmware?
iMac G4 - Mac OS X 10.4.4 (8G32) - Bluetooth module DLINK DBT-120 Firmware 1.443 (1.443)
i mac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Well, I got it working, sort of. The normal buttons and the scroll wheel work as the should. The browse back and browse forward buttons do not work. The tilt wheel works, with tilting right acting as the browse back button, and tilting left acting as browse forward.

Help with Logitech V470 Bluetooth Mouse connecting to Thinkpad T510

Hi, Guys
I received my T510 a few days ago. And I originally throught they did not put Bluetooth on my machine.
I called them this morning and got that you have to press FN+F5 to enable Bluetooth.
So, I did that, but stll, I can't get my V470 bluetooth mouse connected to it ?
Things I have tried:
01 latest software from Logitech website, Windows 7 64 Bit
02 Original driver/software came with the mouse
They both do not work.
I wonder if there is any one having the same issue, or any Lenovi staff could help you out ?
Thanks.

Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse problems with new macbook pro.

Got a Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse to use with my recent 2011 macbook pro running 10.6.7. There appear to be several problems with this combination.
1. If the mouse is not moved for a few seconds and I move it, the pointer does not respond immediately, and when it does, the pointer motion stutters and jerks across the screen for a few seconds before it starts moving smoothly. I don't see any spike in CPU usage when this happens.
2. When I shutdown/reboot or sometimes even put the macbook pro to sleep and wake it up, the machine fails to communicate with the mouse, nothing happens even if I reset/restart the mouse or click, scroll or move it around. The only fix is to go to the bluetooth settings and set it up as a new device.
I suspected a hardware problem on either the mouse or the mac, but (a) the mouse works perfectly fine on an older Sony Vaio laptop and (b) the apple wireless keyboard works pretty fine with none of these problems with my macbook. Would getting an apple magic mouse magically solve this problem?
Has anyone else faced this situation, and could it be fixed?

Any issues you are having with a "Logitech" product, should be dealt with their tech/customer support department.

Re: Logitech Travel Bluetooth mouse stopped working with my Satellite A300/

Whilst happily using my Logitech Travel Bluetooth mouse, suddenly it stopped working, thinking it was a mouse problem, I first put a new battery in, but still not working. Had a look in the Bluetooth settings and it was still showing in there, at this point the computer was still in warranty. Later I tried to connect my mobile and that worked ok, so I was now convinced that it was the mouse. Rang the shop where I bought it, tough luck mate, we are not interested in helping you...thanks!
Some time later I got a chance to try the mouse on another computer, hey presto it worked fine....yippee maybe it will now work on mine...no such luck. So now I am thinking that there must be a problem with my laptop...and of course the warranty is now run out!
I have now deleted the Laser mouse in the Bluetooth settings, thinking being that maybe a new search and install could solve the issue, but now whilst it sees my phone it cannot connect to it and it does not even see the Laser mouse at all.
The driver version it is using is 5.0.2518 which is probably what came with the computer. As far as I know I have never updated it.
This all seems strange to me that one moment it is working and the next it is not...anyway is it worth trying to update the driver software> or am I barking up the wrong tree.
Any help would be appreciated.
JD

Thanks for your reply hammer.
I have now installed the latest bluetooth drivers, the only thing that has happened is that it can now connect to my mobile phone. the mouse is still a no goer.
All the drivers seem to be there and I took a note of the versions prior to the update, they have all been updated ok, there are no crosses against any item in the Device Manager.
Hmm hardware issue could be a bit difficult. But as it is now out of warranty maybe I will need to take it apart myself and see if I can find out the problem.
Must say that I am slightly disapointed to have this happen....I bought Toshiba cos from all accounts it is supposed to be the best out there, but next time I think it may be a different brand.
cheers.

Logitech MX900 Bluetooth Optical Mouse Retail

I was going to buy the: Logitech MX900 Bluetooth Optical Mouse Retail but it says it's designed for Windows XP but nev er says anything about Mac OS X. Would it still work with Mac OS X?

Kensington makes a really good full size bluetooth
mouse: Kensington 72225 Pilot Mouse Bluetooth Mouse
(PC/Mac)
I was less the thrilled with this mouse- when it worked, it was sweet, but it frequently disconnected when idle, and its recognition on the Windows side of Bootcamp was about 30% of the time. Continually having to run through the bluetooth detection was tedious to say the least. I've been much happier with a logitect wireless USB mouse, which works every time (and is much cheaper).

Problem between PcSuite and Bluetooth Mouse

I'm having a very odd problem.
I have a Microsoft Notebook Bluetooth Mouse 5000 that works perfectly in my bluetooth enabled DELL Inspiron 1520 running Windows Vista Business, but after I install ANY version of PcSuite (even the NSeries one) to connect my N73ME using bluetooth, the mouse starts to LAG. If i uninstall Nokia PcSuite, the mouse lags stops.
I have tried it in a different computer, with a different OS, etc., but the problem is the same .... after i install PcSuite, the problems begin.
Lately, i have noticed it doesn't affect only my bluetooth mouse, but bluetooth in general, for example: while transfering file between 2 pc, if i have nokia pcsuite installed, there is a chance that the transfer fails.
There is something wrong with PcSuite's bluetooth driver.
Thank you for clicking on the Green button with the white Star for Kudos!!

I have exactly the same problem: my Logitech MX Revolution mouse lags badly whenever PC Suite is running. I am using PC Suite version 6.85.14.1 via both Bluetooth and USB cable to connect to my Nokia 6300.
I can confirm that if 'ServiceLayer.exe' is running in Task Manager (it starts several other executables as well) then the problem occurs.
If I kill ServiceLayer.exe the problem is solved, but do anything in Explorer and it restarts itself with associated programs and problem is back - even if it is set to 'Manual' in services.msc.
If I disable ServiceLayer.exe and manually stop the service in services.msc the problem is solved but PCSuite won't work of course, so this makes it impossible to run PCSuite normally - I have to disable and re-enable services.
I have written two cmd files to disable the service, and rename the ServiceLayer.exe to something else (for some reason it was starting up again even if disabled in services.msc: it's very tenacious), and vice-versa, but OMG what an ugly solution!!
This shell integration needs to be optional: the program should be able to start without all this grief!

Problem with iphone 5 bluetooth

Have problem with iphone 5 bluetooth pairing with 2012 toyota corolla audio. After receiving incoming call, there is a pause then return to radio mode for a 3-5 second period. Unlike pairing with old iphone 3g, bluetooth connected immediately to incoming call. Have tried various methods to redo pairing, but same result and 3-5 second delay. Any suggestions?

Problem: SteerMouse with Logitech MX1000 Bluetooth

Others have reported success with the SteerMouse driver/software on bluetooth mouse like MX1000 BT, but I am still missing some functionalities:
1. Why doesn't SteerMouse recognize the 'fn' key on the keyboard when I want to create a shortcut key? There is shift, ctrl, option and command, but why I just CAN'T add the 'fn' key? Is there a "right" way to add the fn key?
2. Also, the tilt left and right on the mouse doesn't NOT respond under SteerMouse. They were even working on OS X's default Bluetooth connection, how could they not work on Steermouse? Their FAQ only says that to configure mouse tilt on Button 7 and 8, which is vague at best. I've done that already and still the tilt doesn't work

Ok, here's an update.
1. Problem 1 is solved by the latest beta version of the SteerMouse driver
2. I've just been told by the developer of SteerMouse that their software does NOT support the 'fn' key on the keyboard! I actually don't care about this, as long as there's a way to send the "Ctrl-PgUp" or "Ctrl-PgDwn" commands to Firefox so I can use the backward and forward buttons on my mouse to navigate firefox tabs backward and forward. Any ideas from anyone?

Logitech V470 Bluetooth Mouse works well with Arch

I know we're not supposed to do advertising on this forum, but in this case, I feel I'm just reporting about a hardware compatibility issue.
After my Microsoft USB optical cordless mouse died, with some hesitation I ordered a Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse. It's a bluetooth mouse designed especially for notebooks but, since it's a mid-size rather than really compact mouse, it's big enough to be comfortable for everyday use with a desktop, I think.
I'm happy to report that, by following the steps in this wiki page about installing a bluetooth mouse on Arch, I got it working in no time. Mark another small victory for Linux, and for Arch and its documentation, too.
FWIW, my laptop is a Thinkpad T61p.
I remember a time when you could almost count on spending a lot of time setting up most any newish hardware item under Linux. I used to put up with it since I invariably would learn a lot about my system and about Linux, too. I think we're getting past that now, and that the Linux userbase has reached the critical mass necessary so that the drivers, setup scripts and documentation generally follow pretty quickly a new hardware release.

Thanks for the help, zyghom. I've finally got things working. My experience went like this:
(1) After updating to bluez-4.30, I created the special "trust" file in /var/lib/bluetooth/XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX/, as explained in this post. However, contrary to what that post says, in my case the trust file doesn't have to be copied over to its location with each boot. It seems to be persisting from boot to boot.
(2) Since I'm currently using KDE4, I next installed and tried kdebluetooth4 to register my bluetooth mouse, but I couldn't get it to work.
(3) Next I tried blueman, which didn't work properly, either.
(4) I thought I was going to have to install the gnome bluetooth tool(s), but finally I got kdebluetooth4 to work. To get kdebluetooth4 to work properly, I had to:
(4.a) rebuild from ABS obex-data-server (at least I think that's what made the difference).
(4.b) Then I had to fiddle with kdebluetooth4 a bit, setting my mouse as a trusted device, then rebooting and redoing the settings until the settings "stuck" (I don't know why they didn't stick the first time).
(4.c) Then I had to write a bash script for kdebluetooth4 to be autostarted, which I made executable and put into ~/.kde4/Autostart
Maybe I did more than was necessary, but it is working now, and with bluez-4.30. Thanks again, zyghom, for leading me in the right direction, and for your patience with an old-timer. Now, please excuse me, I've got to go find my reading glasses and hearing aid.

Mini and Logitech V270 Bluetooth mouse

I just got my mac mini core solo and am having difficulty with my bluetooth mouse. I also have a MacBookPro that I was using with the V270 Logitech bluetooth mouse. With the MBP, it works flawlessly. It tracks well and has a pretty good range (20+ feet).
When I connect the V270 to the mac mini (after disconnecting MacBookPro/V270 Bluetooth), I get very limited connection. At about one foot away the mouse tracks poorly and 10 feet away it completely disconnects.
I brought it into the local Apple store for a Genius to look at it and had similar problems. It did poorly on a mini and it did much better on the macbookpro. Although not as good as it has been working at home. The genius did think that the problem was the V270 but he was unable to recommend a good multibutton mouse to work with the mini.
Has this problem happened to anyone else? Were you able to isolate the problem to the mouse or to the mini. If it's the mouse, can anyone recommend a good two button mouse with scroll wheel
Thanks,
Mike
Mac mini solo

I exchanged my original V270 and got a brand new one to test out. When I brought it home, it reacted the exact same way. Works well on the macbookpro and works erratically on the intel mini.
I called up apple support again and they told me that the V270 may not be compatible with the mac mini and I should contact Logitech to verify its compatibility. I sent off an email to Logitech and am waiting for a reply.
One thing I noticed was that the mouse worked much better when it was used behind the mini. Its still bad, but better.
I'll keep you posted.

Macbook Pro won't pair with my existing Bluetooth Mouse.

I used a bluetooth mouse with my macbook pro and had no problems. Since the lastest Mountain Lion Updapte (10.8.2), the laptop finds the mouse but the pairing with the device doesn't work. I've changed the batteries and restarted the laptop several times. Any suggestions other than buying a new bluetooth mouse?

Problems with cell phone bluetooth hackers

Hi there, I have been having problems with someone accessing my machine through the wireless bluetooth system. The logs prove it and there seem to be no way to shut down or dissable the modems. There is more than one it seems. I have reformated my drive and reloaded operaring system. As I was going throught the initial state of the machine like firewall settings printer settings and wifi, the changes that I was making were being changed back. I have checked the remote settings like the remote screen set up and and then a cell phone mac address poped up. Is there code that I can write to the EFI to not load this bluetooth because I have spent countless hours trying to figure this out. In my Sony Viao I had such a go around with this It took me almost six weeks before I gave in and took it in to the shop. Today I was setting up the home network and public came up an then 2 and 3 was below it. NTUSER.DAT is respocible and I can't get rid of that either because one is keeping the other running. Computers aren't supposed to be like this I know . IF someone could help I would appreciate all that I can get. Thanks in advance.

Airport Locks with non-Apple Bluetooth Mouse

I have an iBook 12" G4 1.33GHz 1.5GB RAM, internal Airport Extreme, Bluetooth, etc.
I have tried several non-Apple Bluetooth mice and they create the same problem: Airport stops working and when I put the mouse pointer on the menubar Airport icon it turns into a spinning disk. I have looked in the log files but can't see anything useful. I have to reset the computer to get it to work properly again. If I use an Apple bluetooth mouse this does not ever happen. I am trying to use the same Logitech mouse that I have used perfectly well for over a year on my Apple Mini G4.
Any ideas anybody?

Try configuring your base station to operate on a different channel. Change the channel until you find a channel that works better or you run out of channels.

Mega Connection Problems with B/T Mighty Mouse :(

My bluetooth mighty mouse is having major problems with connectivity. Some times the thing works flawlessly, but other times (like right now) it won't stay connected for more than 30 seconds...I AM ABOUT TO THROW THIS THING AGAINST THE WALL!!
HELP!!

I also had the same problem but it apparently stopped after I updated to OS X 10.4.10 and updated AirPort Extreme.
The only thing is that my connection to the internet via AirPort keeps failing while using the mouse.
