IPhone is with 100% Reproducibility Interfering with Magic Mouse & Bluetooth

My Magic Mouse would start acting up @random - Sometimes days would pass with no problems other days I would have the problems all the time...
Last week I wanted to find the culprit. And I have !!!
It is the iPhone.
I made a list and took notes of what I was doing every time the issue occurred.
The console would should no sign of anything.
the past week - My girlfriend had been using my iPhone to listen to music in a separate room. This week, I bought her a stereo ;-)
The past week I had ZERO trouble - this week nothing but trouble.
Going thru' my list, I noted that only the iPhone was the missing link.
So as the iphone was sitting next to me and the problem occurred I did this
Turned off its Bluetooth...     == No Change     (Lag & weirdness)
Turned off its WIFI               == No Change     (Lag & weirdness)
Put it into Airplane Mode     == Change          (No Lag No weirdness)
Put it back into Std Mode     == Change          (Lag & weirdness)
Moved iPhone to kitchen     == Change          (No Lag No weirdness)
I can do this all the time and repeat the problem 100% of the time
The iPhone is most definitely interfering with the stability of the Magic Mouse... NOT with the Trackpad !!!!!!!
Both using BlueTooth
But the again, we all know in 2014 that the only magic about the magic mouse is its ability to produce magic results,
NOT invoked by the user and cause Wrist Pain. But hey, it looks really cool ;-)
Hope this helps anyone with this problem,
I tested this with my iPhone 4s running iOS 7 --- So I don't know whether this applies to other models and OSs

I have this same type of problem. As long as wifi is off bluetooth works. Turn wifi on and bluetooth can no longer find anything—no phones, computers, speakers, mouse etc... Bluetooth worked perfect rooms apart before Mavericks. I called Apple and they think it's a hardware issue with the mini. It's funny for something to be working so well before the software update. I told them to put the case on hold and I will wait for the OS update. If the OS update doesn't come I suppose I will drive the hour or so to the nearest Apple repair shop and have them look at it. The main reason I'm posting is I see very little about this issue being discussed. I hope to see some replies. Thanks.

Scrolling and rightclicking with magic mouse doesnt work anymore

Suddenly scrolling and rightclicking with magic mouse doesnt work any more. Left clicking and cursor moving works normal. I have checked the system preferences for the mouse and find nothing strange or unchecked. Any ideas?

Also tried the universal access thing. Doesnt work.

Types of batteries compatible with Magic Mouse

Hi There,
Recently I bought a magic mouse, and till now it has been amazing. But as all users, I too face serious battery drain issue with magic mouse, but I think its worth its usage .
So I thought to switch to couple of rechargeable batteries for my magic mouse after reading some threads here. But now I have got a doubt. I read the magic mouse user guide and it says :
+You can use alkaline, lithium, or rechargeable AA batteries in your mouse.+
So My doubt is that whether I can use rechargeable Nickel Cadmium(Ni-Cd) batteries or not? Also what all kind of batteries are compatible with magic mouse?

Hi zulficarr
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you have Nickel Cadmium(Ni-Cd) batteries they will work just fine, however if you shopping for rechargeable's the NiMH batteries are better and last longer.

Also note that the Apple Store sells a Battery Charger with 6 NiMH batteries.

Maps zoom/scroll with Magic Mouse

Hi
In Maps.app, scrolling over the map with magic mouse, moving the map instead of zooming, i need to press SHIFT when i need zoom in or out. Other apps (google maps in safari, or google earth.app) working with zoom set as default.
How can i change this behaviour?

I second this. seems like an oversight. i can live it, i'll just screw up every time I try maps because at this point, google Maps is still better. so it'll be quite some time before i think of Maps first.
I do feel like Maps is just a Beta right now. There are 0 preferences.
I tried using Better Touch Tool but it doesn't seem to work... i could be doing something wrong though.
If someone figures out a trick with the BTT, and Maps, please let us know.
In the mean time, apple has it's work cut out for it. Maps has Millions of Miles that needs updating/correcting/ect. perhaps in one of it's many to roll outs, they'll give us some preferences.

I am using an iMac with Magic mouse and I could not find the Handwriting Chinese function! Do I have to get a trackpad to enable the hadwriting function?
If yes, Can I have both magic mouse and the trackpad working at the same time?

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

HT204387 Cannot pair iPhone 5 with Toyota Camry Bluetooth

I cannot pair iPhone 5 with Toyota Camry Bluetooth. Never had a problem with android

Two things that you need to verify first
1. The first step in troubleshooting any accessory is to determine whether the accessory is compatible with the device. Contact your automotive manufacturer or the manufacturer of your aftermarket head unit to see if your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch model is compatible.
2. Verify that both your car kit and your iOS device are running the latest software versions. To verify that your car kit is up to date, please contact your automotive manufacturer or the manufacturer of your aftermarket head unit.
Also follow the Link. hope this helps.

This sounds like a hardware issue. I haven't seen this particular problem reported before.

Magic Mouse: Bluetooth Connection Lost

Periodically (and extremely frustrating) my iMac screen will announce "Bluetooth connection lost".
There seems to be no logical explanation. But...
This leaves me with a totally functionless Magic Mouse.
Is there a way of re-establishing Magic Mouse/Bluetooth without going through the hassle of connecting a USB mouse to reach System Preferences?

I'm starting to have problems with the Bluetooth not recognizing the Magic Mouse even though 1) it's discoverable and 2) I favorited it. Does this have anything to do with the new Magic Prefs app?
One other thing that could make a major difference is that I downloaded USB Overdrive in order to use a Logitech joystick. It really should have no bearing on something that is not a USB device, though that preference panel does recognize the Magic Mouse...in spirit if not in function. I cannot scroll with it or use the touch-specific functions of that device. If Bluetooth cannot read it, what good is it anyway?

Iphone 3gs with ios5 update. bluetooth connection with car problem.

I updated my iphone 3GS to IOS5. After the update, the bluetooth (handsfree) connection to my car (Lexus RX350) does not work anymore. I can connect any other cell phone bluetooth to my car. Only iphone after the IOS5 update is failing. Any suggestions (I reset many times)?

Some people havent had one problem when updating to iOS4, others have been over run with problems. I myself have lost virtually all sound from my loud speaker so calls, txt messages and ipod are virtually unheard now..
Went to my local Genius bar in Liverpool today, complete waste of time, the guy restored it like I hadnt already done that a 100 times, then said oh yeah it is qeit not heard of that one before, to get a new one will cost you £139!!
Yeah right mate, not payin that as its not my fault! did ask him if he ever looks on the Apple forum about faults people are having, and I got a blank look. Told him a thread with tens of thousands people all having the same problem with low sound from the speakers and calls being ended in mid conversation since updating to OS4 seems a bit strange then... another blank look!
Ive lost all faith with apple as a company now and will not be upgrading to a iPhone 4 anytime soon or any apple product, no one seems interested in helping but quick enough to take your money, thats my opinion anyway..

Problem with Magic Mouse

I have just installed Lion onto my 27" iMac (3.2 GHz Intel Core i3) which i bought about six months ago. I really love the new OS. My only gripe is that when I scroll down with two fingers the screen goes up and visa versa. I have looked in settings and cannot seem to find a solution... and yes the mouse is the right way up! If anyone can help I would be very grateful.

Just as a quick addition, I poped into my local Apple store today and they explained that the way the Trackpad and Magic Mouse were set up by apple was to feel like the iPad and iPhone, which now makes sense (scrolling up pushes the screen down and visa versa), so although it feels unatural it is the way it is supposed to work. They advised trying it for few days wnd then see how I get on. Actually just knowing this makes it seem to work.

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.

Swipe between pages feature is freezing with magic mouse and magic trackpad in Mavericks

I am experiencing a bug in Mavericks with my Magic trackpad and the Magic mouse. This bug comes and goes and is very sporadic. When it happens I am usually in a browser like Firefox or Safari, or in iPhoto. Anything that uses the Swipe between pages feature usually locks up, and on top of this it locks the scroling up and down function in the browsers and in iPhoto. The only thing that makes these functions work again is to reeboot or turn off bluetooth and turn it back on. I see that many people are having this problem in other posts, and I am just wondering if Apple is actually working on this bug or has somebody found what trigers this bug and do they have the fix for it?
Thanks for your help
Chris

Maybe this will help. You can look for other ideas in the 'More Like This' box to the right.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Magic Trackpad won't work with Magic Mouse on brand new 2011 27" i5 iMac

I have a brand new 2011 27" i5 iMac which I bought with Snow Leopard pre-loaded. Naturally, I included the new Magic Trackpad in my purchase, and though there were some problems with the device in SL - such as it going haywire without explanation - it generally worked, although battery levels were erratic (one day 80%, then an hour later 42%, then 80% again).
When I installed Lion I did a clean install after backing up to Time Machine - and a Super Dupered external drive. I had some difficulties trying to install Lion from an external flash drive so I deleted again and reinstalled SL, then reinstalled over the SL install I did (with no other software except Mac OS X 10.6.8 and other system updates to facilitate install). Rather than copying apps from my old SL drive, I downloaded fresh copies and reinstalled one by one. I don't use a lot of apps apart from Microsoft Office, browsers and iLife and have not installed any additional scripts, extensions or add-ons (like USB Overdrive). It's a pretty clean install.
Since then, although I'm generally happy with Lion, the Magic Trackpad won't work! It does work for a little while with basic gestures - mainly moving the cursor and scrolling - then it gives up the ghost and loses connectivity. I have done the following:
Disconnected and reconnected the MTP after turning it on and off. MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
Shut the computer down, pulled out the plug, waited two minutes, then started up again. MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
Run Onyx, shut down computer, then pulled out plug (see above).
Checked options in Universal Access, shut off "Ignore other devices when trackpad in use" (or whatever the option is). MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
Turned off the Magic Mouse. MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
But none of this seems to work! I know the MTP is connected because I can see it in the BT menu in the menu bar and also in System Preferences. I have noticed since upgrading that my permissions - which when I bought the computer were totally clean - now run lines and lines about "Library/Core Services" so I am unsure whether this is related. I also notice a lot of people are in the same boat as me, which makes me wonder if it's either a hardware issue or a release issue - after a week or so of totally silent running, my 2TB Hitachi HDD started up with the grumbly tum. I'd really appreciate any tips from anyone out there!

Hi, marksaner
You could try installing the latest version of the Synaptics driver. Synaptics is the company that makes the UltraNav driver and drivers for many other computer brands. This driver should have the same functionality as the UltraNav driver, so there's no worry there. You can find the driver here.
Hope it helps,
Adam
