IPhone plugged into laptop interferes with Bluetooth mouse

iPhone 3GS, iOS 4.1
iTunes version 10.0.1.22
Laptop is an HP Envy 15 running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
Mouse is a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000
The mouse works fine when the iPhone is sitting next to the laptop, but not plugged in, so I don't think it's EMI/wireless interference. When I plug in the iPhone to the laptop to charge it or sync it, the mouse begins acting funny. There is momentary interference (for maybe a second about every 5 seconds) where the cursor will stop moving and the buttons on the mouse won't do anything. If I go into iTunes and click on the iPhone under devices, the mouse will sometimes lock up and eventually disconnect (I know it disconnects, because I have my laptop's touchpad set to turn back on after the wireless mouse disconnects).
As far as I know, this only happens with the iPhone plugged into USB. I don't have many other USB devices to try it with. Though, I did try it with just a USB DVD drive plugged in, and the interference did not occur. Once the iPhone was plugged back in, the interference resumed.
I need to be able to charge my work phone when at work, or I will miss important calls. Also, I need the mouse for better maneuverability since I use this computer to design circuit boards (CAD is impossible with a touchpad only).
Any suggestions, other than the usual driver updates/reinstall (I've done that several times already)? Any help is appreciated.

I noticed the same kind of interference that you're experiencing on my logitec wireless laser mouse. On top of that, I only experience the lag while my iPhone is plugged in AND while iTunes 10 is open (even though as of right now iTunes isn't even detecting my iPhone) I gave up trying to fix it myself.
All in all iTunes 10 is full of bugs <.<

Maunally restore it. In order to do this:
-Download the iOS 5.1.1 firmware from here http://www.redmondpie.com/download-5.1.1-ios-for-iphone-4s-4-3gs-ipad-ipod-touch -direct-official-links/
1. After downloading the firmware from the given link, open iTunes and click on your device.
2. Now press SHIFT on your keyboard and while pressing it click on "Restore".
3. A dialog box will appear.
4. Select the firmware you downloaded and click ok.
5. Done!!! Your iPhone will now be restored to 5.1.1 and if you had backed up your iPod before, then you can put all its settings afterwards.

Connect your iPhone to iTunes and restore or follow the prompts.

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Do NOT use an iPod/iPhone charger. Do NOT use a computer's USB port. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know. If the above test does, in fact, indicate a problem, read this.
Also, according to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

Hello there stidhambr15,
I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software

Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.

How can I access a thumb drive plugged into an airport with my iPad?

how can I access a thumb drive plugged into an airport with my iPad? I am trying to set up an information point to serve weekly info over a NOT connected to the internet airport.

You can't. There are a couple of devices such as AirStash and the GoFlex drive that you can access over WiFi. They are limited, as I understand it, though.

I recently upgraded to a 5s. my clock radio iPhone plug in was compatible with my iPhone 4. Is there an attachment I can buy so that I can still use my clock/radio?

I recently upgraded to a 5s. My clock/radio iPhone plug in was compatible with my iPhone 4 so I could listen to Pandora. Is there an attachment I can buy so that I can still use my clock/radio?

There are 30-pin to Lightning adapters, but I would be afraid it would put the phone too high up and risk damage. I would contact the radio company to see if they offer a unit that has a lightning connector.

My ipod nano keeps coming up with messages when i plug into laptop. i follow instructions but it doesnt work

I found my old iPod nano, I attempted to plug into my laptop but it comes up with loads of messages and doesn't seem to do anything

Hey there hannahc-,
I would recommend trying the iPod Nano 5r's to see if you can get that iPod acting correctly.
Choose the iPod Nano generation you have and follow the instructions for it:

Why does my iPhone 4 lose 3G signal when plugged into the TV with the AV Adapter?

When I plug in my iPhone 4 (Verizon) or my husband's iPhone 4 (AT&T) to watch Netflix, Netflix stalls and the 3G signal disappears. I have tried connecting the adapter both before and after entering the application. I believe the digital AV adapter and HDMI cable are fine, because I have no problem seeing output from my iPad 2.
When I plug in the adapter, the 3G signal will disappear shortly thereafter. The red Netflix screen will appear on the TV, but 9 times out of 10 it will go no further. One time it stayed on the red screen, but I heard the audio from the movie. Another time it showed the movie for 10 seconds, then stopped. When I unplug my iPhone, it will take a while to regain the 3G signal.

I had the same issue in my 2012 Nissan Altima. It was a function in my car's stero settings. I had to go to the car's iPhone/iPod settings when the iPhone was plugged into the USB. My settings come up automatically when I plug in and I can scroll through the commands to "Shuffle" songs. Hope this helps.

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!

Laptop takes over Bluetooth mouse

I have the wireless Apple mouse connected to my iMac (flatpanel) and an oldfashioned Apple mouse (with a cord) to my laptop. When I put my MacBook on my desk and start up both computers, it happens often that the wireless mouse is robbed by the MacBook. I have to switch off Bluetooth on the MacBook and not until then, I am able to walk through the procedure of connecting the iMac with the mouse. Is there a way to prevent the mouse from this interaction?

And what happens if I buy an extra wireless mouse, to be used on my two Macs? Will they interfere?
Pair one mouse per computer. They will not interfere with each other.

IPhone plugged into my GM nav./DVD screen

I recently bought a new Cacillac Ecsalade, but was unhappy to discover that there was no ipod jack to link my iPhone music to the vehicle. After serching a bit I found a company that sells a very easy to install device (1 minute..really!)that plugs into the XM reciever (it's right behind the glove box) and has a cord that plugs into the bottom connection on the iPhone. I now have all of my music controlled by the Audio/Video touch screen on the dash. I know that they make this for use in alot of Gm cars. If you are interested here is the link to the web site:
http://www.coastaletech.com/GMIPODLOCKPICK.htm
although it isnt cheap ($129.00,) it also charges the phone and the ring tone comes through the speakers so I know when a call is coming in.
They also make other products that "unlock" the dvd/nav system to allow you to do things that you are not normally able to. (watch Pulp Fiction while going 90mph on the hiway!!! aaaaaaaaah... I dont recomend that))

Cool, but will it work with my 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP with Navigation System?

IPhoe4 appears dead after plugging into laptop

After I plugged my iPhone4 to my laptop (XP), it did not start charging. The screen looks dead and I cannot power on/off. However when I call my number from another line, it rings! I have been using my iPhone to charge from laptop, wall socket for 3 months now.
Before I plugged into the laptop, the charge on the ipHone was showing at 49% - so there is some bit of battery still left in there.

First plug your mini on an USB-Power adapter NO PC!!
Than normally it will start, load the mini's battery for a while.
Than instal the latest version of itunes on your pc.
Open itunes than plug your mini in...
And it normally shows up.. Restore and done!
When it doesn't work the mini has a wrong format! That happens when you restored it on a mac!!!
Maybe you've done that. Than plug it into a mac open Disc-Utility than change the format to FAT.
Than again in your windows and will it work...
Ask again when it won't or you does'nt understand

Crashes when resuming from standby with Bluetooth mouse

Unless I turn off my Logitech Bluetooth mouse BEFORE entering sleep, the Mac crashes completely when trying to wake it up. the screen doesn't turn on, unless I plug in an external display adapter -- in which case it just turns on into a blank blue desktop.
So long as I remember to turn off the mouse before sleep and back on after resuming, all is well. But it's a pain to remember and if I forget, I have to physically reset--loosing all unsaved work.
Any ideas?

if you are having a sleep issue you could possibly try this troubleshooting step of resetting your SMC http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319

Loud static in headphones when plugged into laptop

Whenever my headphones are plugged into my laptop, there is a loud static/white noise. It's there all the time, but the sound is fine if on speakers. This problem just started

Restore it from your backup.
No idea what she has running on her laptop, but the iPhone appears just like any other camera. Sounds like something on her machine decided to go ahead and import the photos. They may actually be on her laptop.
