TS3048 I just bought a new Bluetooth mouse but I can't set it up bc my other mouse broke

I Just bought a new Bluetooth mouse because our old Bluetooth mouse went out. I'm trying to set it up with no mouse. I can't click on anything because I have no mouse. Is there anyway to open the Bluetooth connections just using the keyboard?

You have me confused as to where the apps really are. You mention iPod and mention that the iPod isn't your primary computer. Obviously, it can't be - its an iPod. I'm not trying to be a jerk - I just dont understand what that means.
The you say that the old computer is the primary computer for iTunes. That makes more sense. Anyway, you could have transferred the iTunes library from the old computer to the new Mac, but I assume that you did not realize that.
So ... If the apps are on your iPad - but did not transfer to iTunes when you synced the iPad with the new Mac - transfer Purchases. Connect the iPad to the Mac, launch iTunes, right click on the iPad name on the left and select Transfer Purchases. That will put the apps in iTunes on the Mac.
Movies cannot be downloaded again for free because Apple does not have an agreement with the movie studios to allow for that. At least that is how I understand the way that works.

New Bluetooth Mouse

My old Mighty Mouse gave up the ghost and I bought a new Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse.
I deleted my old Mighty Mouse from the Bluetooth Preference Panel and added the V470. It is recognized and the tracking speed etc are adjustable via the Keyboard/Mouse Preference Panel.
However there is no name or battery information in the Keyboard/Mouse Preference Panel. Did I set the V470 up incorrectly or is the name/battery information for Apple products only?
Thanks,

I suspect the mouse has to be able to provide the information so that Leopard understands it. I think Logitech's Control Center software is able to read the battery levels for their devices. It will also let you program the buttons with features not available in the Apple System Preferences.
Anyway, my new Mighty Mouse is about 7 or 8 weeks old and it's on all of the time. I changed the batteries about a week ago and it's reading 4 out of 5 bars. I'd say a month and a half is probably normal.

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?

X4000b Bluetooth Mouse constantly looses connection

Hello there
My new Bluetooth Mouse constantly looses connection to my Asus Transformer Windows TabletPC. So the mouse Pointer stops moving and can be moved again after 20 seconds or so. Any suggestions on how to solve this?

Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.

Bluetooth Mouse cannot be paired with win7 on Bootcamp, MacBook Air... Please Help

I had installed Windows7 by Bootcamp on MacAir (OS 10.7.5) several weeks ago. In order to use external mouse and save USB port, I bought a Bluetooth mouse from Logitech. It is successfully done pairing with MacOS and working well, and it is definitely pariing with other Windows 7 PC as well.
But... when I tried to make pairing under Windows 7 under Bootcamp of my MacAir, it failed.
I tried it by Control Panel -> add device. The device name was successfully searched and shown on screen, and I selected it and press "next" to make pairing.... but I couldn't see the successful message and didn't work. The screen was not changed from "connecting....." message and did not go further....
Please help me. Someone said that I should upgrade or change the Bluetooth driver of Bootcamp, but I cannot find out how I do that.

I found the solution in another posting. Bluetooth setup data brought over by migration assistant is incompatible with the new Bluetooth chipset in the latest Air. This fix worked for me:
Go to:
Macintosh HD->Library->Preferences
delete (the old migrated files)
com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.lockfile
stop Bluetooth and logout.
Login and restart Bluetooth.
You my need to delete any devices and re-pair.

How can I get my wireless keyboard and my new magic mouse to enter info into a Christmas list app on iphone 3GS? Do I have to move to another room? I have bluetooth on in my iPhone.

I have wireless keyboard and a new magic mouse. I want to enter data into a Christmas list app on my 3GS iPhone. Too time consuming to just type on iPhone keyboard. How can I get keyboard and mouse to be 'connected' or recognized by my iPhone? I have Bluetooth "on" in my iPhone.

You cannot connect the mouse. This is not a feature of iphone
You can learn about connecting a keyboard in the manual:
iPhone User Guide (For iOS 5.0 Software)

Brand new IMac 27 bluetooth mouse and keyboard not connecting for eight minutes after start up.

I have a new imac 27 that has worked flawlessly for three weeks.
All of a sudden, when starting up the mac boots fine but the bluetooth mouse and keyboard are non responsive. This state is maintained for between 7 and 8 minutes then both mouse and keyboard start working and continue doing so for the rest of the day....until the next restart and the whole saga repeats itself.
Both sets of batteries are fully charged.
I have scoured different sites and tried any suggestion that made any sense, to no avail. All I am able to do at the moment is to do the time, wait the 7 to 8 mins. and then all's good.
My first Mac and this is very annoying especially as Apple must be aware of this issue but no solution is forthcoming!
Any suggestions/workarounds would be great.
Thanks

if you are using rechargeable batteries sometimes they don't stay charged for as long as they should try using alkalaine batteries and see if the issue still persists.
also try doing an SMC reset, the following article tells how to do this:

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.

Cannot find Bluetooth Preference Panel to install new Magic Mouse

Tried to install a new Magic Mouse, but the computer does not see it. Bluetooth icon is not in toolbar, and Bluetooth Pane is not in preferences panel. Found bluetooth.prefPane file in HD>System>Library>PreferencesPane, double clicked on it, but got the error message -- You cannot open "Bluetooth" preferences pane because it is not available to you at this time. You might need to connect a device to your computer to see the preferences pane.
Installed new batteries in Magic Mouse, but it still is not seen by the computer.
Note - I have not used Bluetooth devices on this computer before.
Suggestions?

In the past, Apple have specifically recommended and supported the D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth Adapter, but that one is quite old now, so you may have difficulty finding one.
http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=34
They now appear to be recommending the Targus ACB10US adapter:

There are literally dozens of other USB Bluetooth Adapters on the market, but not all are 100% Mac compatible, so definitely try before you buy, or buy from somewhere that accepts returns.

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.

HT3986 Hello, as a extremely advanced user, after trying to install Targus AMB09EU on 64bit Windows 7, I have reached a stage where no new Bluetooth devices are detected, while Apple wireless kb+mouse still work perfectly, can somebody give any input plea

The device I tried to install was Targus AMB09EU mouse.
The end result was losing ability to detect any new Bluetooth devices, although Apple kb+mouse works.
Any input would be appreciated.

This really is a question best aimed at Microsoft and Targus user forums, you may not get an answer here.

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.

Some info about my machine:

Really slow and jerky cursor with my apple bluetooth mouse, can you help?

hey.
i have the apple bluetooth mouse and keyboard, they were working perfectly (keyboard still does) until they ran out of batteries one day. i reverted to the wired set up and (lazily) didn't get batteries for a while (month or so). When i did the keyboard responds as before but the mouse is painfully jerky and slow. i have re-paired the mouse and changed the batteries twice, it is so annoying i now use the bluetotth keyboard and wired mouse. any advice/suggestions gratefully recieved.
many thanks.
james

it is so frustrating isn't it. i now sit looking at the bluetooth mouse whilst getting tangled up in the cable of the wired mouse!! i was going to buy the new wireless mighty mouse hoping that that would solve/bypass the problem but reading what you have all put is definately making me wary of that. it seems so simple doesn"t it, nice uncluttered desk, pretty foolproof technology. if only... seems that no matter how clever these things get they are still not smart enough. i have been looking elsewhere for solutions but no luck as of yet, if i find any i'll let you know.
regards,
james
