Logitech bluetooth mouse not found on restarting Mac Pro

hi
for some time now I have been using a logitech V270 bluetooth mouse with my Mac Pro which has a bluetooth 2.0 card installed. all works fine except that when i restart my Mac Pro the mouse is generally not automatically detected and i get the 'bluetooth mouse setup' screen with the message 'there isn't a mouse connected'. i then need to press the reset button on the mouse and go through the usual connection procedure.
i wonder i anyone has any advice as to how i can get this set up so that the Mac Pro automatically connects
thanks

Hello all -
I found a solution to this by using Bluetooth Explorer. I had previously tried this and it didn't work, however I realized that I was using an old version of Bluetooth Explorer! When I downloaded the newest version from apple, it worked like a charm and I was able to select which Bluetooth adapter I wanted to use. Switched it over to the USB dongle and it works perfect now. No more skipping mouse, woo hoo!

  • Ipad 2 can't see logitech bluetooth mouse M557

    Hi,
    I made sure that this mouse would connect to my ipad 2 before I bought it and other bluetooth equipment. My iPad sees and connects to everything else but not the mouse. I am able to connect the mouse fine to my HP laptop.
    I've checked the Apple website ant this logitech bluetooth mouse M557 (http://www.logitech.com/en-ch/product/bluetooth-mouse-m557) should connect to Mac OS and IPad 2.  Is that simply not true or am I doing something wrong.  I've checked the driver is up-to-date via laptop, I've restarted everything several times and I've tried googling to see if others have had an issue. The only think I've found is a way to "hack" my iPad but i REALLY don't want to do this!!
    Can anyone help me please?
    Thanks in advance!!

  • RS480M2-IL - problems with "PS2 Mouse not found"

    Hello!
    I bought RS480M2-IL motherboard. The first strange thing was the post about "not know processor", but i have fixed by upgrading it to the 1.4 version. You should to know also that I have USB mouse. When I am starting my computer I can see the post which says: "PS2 Mouse not found". It is a very big problem for me, because I wanted to run a Jabber server on it. After restart it won't get up. Is there any clue or something which will fix it? Don't tell me, that I must wait for new BIOS version. 
    Thanks for help  :azn:
    Regards.

    RS480M-IL = s754
    RS480M2-IL = s939
    I assume you have the s754 version because s939 bioses start with 3.x.
    I have the same problem using bios 1.4.
    This is a bios issue that hopefully will be fixed in the next bios version.
    I found a temporary workaround though. Go into the bios --> Standard CMOS Features --> Halt On --> [No Errors].

  • I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

    Well
    I tried all of the suggestions, sort of. I did not have alcohol wipes, but I did take alcohol and pour some ona white paper towel and then rolled the mouse touch ball aroound and that finally cleared up the problem.  Just inverting it on paper did not do the reick, it needed some help with the alcohol.  Of course the probelm is the debris that gets inside and it really needs to come out.
    This is a huge problem for RIM devices users too.

  • Air port express not found by my mac

    Hallo all, I want to extend my wlan, therefore I want to install an additional air port. I have already a time capuse with air port. Now my question:
    Do I neet to connect the new air port with a wire? I thougt the connection is wireless? Unitl now the new air port is not found by my mac within the utility air port program. Why? Please help! Thank you, Kailash

    To help facilitate setting up your extended network, I would recommend the following:
    Perforrm a "factory default" reset on the AirPort Express base station.
    Temporarily connect the Express to the Time Capsule using an Ethernet cable between them.
    Once you have configured the extended network, you can now disconnect the Express from the TC and place it at the desired location.

  • Part replacement for Apple Wireless bluetooth mouse ( not mighty)

    I am looking for a bottom panel for my old apple wireless bluetooth mouse (not mighty). My son has dropped it down and that is how is not switching off anymore. I am thinking about replacement of that anyway removable panel (you remove it to place batteries),so I guess this part must be around somewhere. Any help is appreciated, thank you very much in advance!

    Hello m:
    The only people that can answer that are the Apple people. As far as I know, those parts are not available from the web site.
    Frankly, I think I would buy a new mouse as something may be damaged internally.

  • Chromebook 14 & Logitech Bluetooth Mouse

    I'm trying to operate my HP Chromebook 14, with a Logitech Bluetooth Mouse.
    The Chromebook model is 14-Q063cl.
    The Logitech mouse model is M-RCQ142
    The Logitech Mouse is recognized, and works correctly for a while, then randomly stops working.
    It is necessary to Disable Bluetooth then re-"Enable" Bluetooth on the Chromebook, to get it to work again (for a few minutes).
    What is the problem?

  • Can I use a combined WiFi and Bluetooth PCI card in my 2GHZ Mac Pro?

    Many thanks in advance for your help,

    It probably won't work. Some USB PCI cards will work out of the box with OS X even though the manufacturers don't specifically support it. This ad does not list the card manufacturer or chipset so it's very difficult to tell much about it. Furthermore it states that to modify the settings it requires a Windows-based Utility. Unless the seller has a good return policy I wouldn't buy it.

  • You can't use The following message is stopping me access my disk utility.  'this version of the application "Disk Utility" with this version of OS X.'  not only that my Mac pro keeps dropping my internet connection and logs on to BT Open.

    After installing Yosmite, The following message is stopping me accessing my disk utility.  'You can't use this version of the application “Disk Utility” with this version of OS X.' you have “Disk Utility” 12.1.1.

    Help

    For whatever reason you don't have the Yosemite version of Disk Utility which is 13. I suggest you reinstall Yosemite.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Download and install the 10.10.1 update.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Check that you have the current version of Disk Utility.

  • HT201364 I'm not certain if my Mac Pro was made in early 2008. How can I find out when it was made?

    Like many video editors, I am eager to upgrade to the new FCP 10.1, but I'm not sure if my Mac Pro can run Mavericks (a requirement for the FCP 10.1 upgrade). The Apple page states that Mac Pro's made in "Early 2008" should be okay, but how can I tell before diving into the upgrade? I can't afford to buy a new Mac Pro right now.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Thanks for the assistance! Turns out my venerable Mac Pro was manufactured in 2007, so Mavericks (and FCP 10.1) will have to wait until I buy a newer system.
    All the best,
    Tony

  • My Bose Companion 5 speakers are not getting detected in mac pro. They are working fine with other machines (including mac).

    My bose companion 5 speakers are not getting detected on Mac Pro. They are working fine with other machines (including friend's mac)

    Same Issue here. I had a similar issue with my Bose USB speakers when I upgraded to Maverick. I've had the speakers since 2010 and had no issue with my 2006 Mac Pro or my iMac till the Maverick upgrade, contacted both Apple and Bose with no luck but an Apple update fixed the issue.
    I wonder if other USB speakers have an issue or is it just BOSE USB speakers. But my Companions did work fine with my Mac Pro and iMac 27 till the Yosemite update with an initial issue with the Maverick upgrade it was definitely an Apple issue not Bose. I have both Boise Airplay and Blue tooth speakers that seem OK it is only the USB Companions that don't work.
    Will look forward to a solution.
    Thanks,
