Lose connection to magic mousse

Hello,
I buy my first Apple computer (IMac 21,5) 4 month ago. I was very excited !! But now a little disapointed with problem for connecting my magic mousse to the computer. I try a lot of things, but nothing seems to resolve this problem. I restart the mousse, change the battery, restart computer, look for an add-on which can correct this failure...My IMac is an Core I5 with 4 Mo of Ram, 21,5 inch screen, with LION's O.S. 10.7.3.
When i restard the computer, the connection with the mousse is ok, but when i start to use ti, after 2 or 3 secondes, the computer lose the connection. I try to reinitialize the PRAM, but it is the same problem. SO, what can i do ? Have ou the same prob ? Thanks a lot for your rescue !!!

Hello Barry,
Thank you for your response, but it doesn't seems to resolve my problem.
I resetted the PRAM and SMC, and make mousse as a favorite.
But there is a little better connection : instead of staying connected 3 seconds to my computer, it stay 20 to 30 seconds...I'm borring with this situation and i bought a PC mousse connected to my mac on a USB port. My first experience with a Mac computer is a little disappointing.
If you have got an another idea, thanks to leave me another message !
François.

My magic mouse loses connection during sleep

My Magic mouse loses connection during sleep mode. I also get error message my external usb storage drive was disconnected improperly. I have to unplug and plug in drive generally, sometimes it is still present. For the mouse I generally turn it off and on and allow it to be found again.

This is a late 2009 imac.

Magic mouse lose connection

my magic mouse lose (bluetooth) connection no and then. It reconneccts in a minute or so.
What's wrong?

There's already a thread on this with almost the same title:
Magic Mouse Loses Connection
One idea (discussed in that thread) is that not all batteries are created equal in that the positive terminal varies in size among different brands and "flatter" ones are not making contact all the time. One solution was to add a little ball of aluminum foil between the negative size (I assume) to take up the "slack".

Been losing connection for magic mouse and wireless keyboard

When I have my MBP running Mavericks in clamshell mode, I lose connections to both magic mouse and apple wireless keyboard in clamshell mode. I've tried all the PRAM SCM, aluminum foil and paper tricks. What I then did was test what happens when I leave the MBP open rather than in clamshell mode and it appears to avoid losing connection, at least that is what I've concluded with Mavericks for now..... anyone else able to replicate this? Having to leave the MBP open is not ideal.

Barry, thanks, still not working. I've tried every thing I can think of or have read, what I'm concluding is that there is either a problem with Mavericks or something has changed on how bluetooth works in Mavericks. Did not have this problem for the last 4 years. I can reproduce the problem when I close the laptop. I had the Bluetooth and wireless card checked out and replaced about 3 weeks ago. Problem has continued.

Mouse loses connection

I have a Mac Mini and a few months ago I started having problems with the Magic Mouse losing its connection to the computer. If I wait a few minutes it comes back but in one hour it may drop the mouse 3-4 times. I have used new batteries and even went to the extend of buying a new mouse thinking that it was my old mouse. But that wasn't the problem because this is even happening with the brand new mouse. What I notice first is that the mouse's responsiveness starts to change--it isn't as responsive. Then the next thing I see is "Connection Lost." I have gone into Utilities and have checked that the disk is OK and all my permissions are right. I was thinking of simply reinstalling the OS but would like to see if others have suggestions. Also, I don't know if this is related or not but I have a wireless printer that seems to work fine for a while and then it too will drop the connection and the printing will stop only to restart a while later. Suggestions?

I might have actually figured out the problem. Even re-installing the OS did not help. I still got printer errors and my mouse still moved real slow at times and would lose connectivity. So I hard-wired the printer to the network and turned off the WiFi on the printer. I still got "communication errors". Then I turned off WiFi on my Mini (it is hard wired to the network), uninstalled the printer, rebooted and reinstalled the printer (although I kept WiFi off for now). The mouse has worked perfectly well for over an hour and I have printed numerous documents with no problems. I will let this run for another day and if all is well I will turn WiFi back on on the printer. But for now it looks like running the WiFi on the Mini was causing the problem.
Thanks for the suggestions, Illaass. They helped getting me to think about conflicts. I do want to look at my router and see if I can set it to only run on the 5 GHz bandwidth and see if that helps. But I don't need WiFi on the Mini so if keeping it off solves my problem then I am happy.

Audio interface loses connection

Hi
I've recently bought myself two audio interfaces: Edirol FA-66 and Mackie Tapco firewire, both with two combo inputs and firewire 400 connection. When i connect either one of them to my macbook pro (2,53 GHz), it works for a while and suddenly loses connection. The sound plays for a few seconds through my internal speakers and most of the time, it reconnects after a couple of seconds back to the audio interface. Could this possibly have anything to do with snow leopard? (I think I've read something about this). Or would it be something else? (I'm thinking of the FW400->FW800 cable I'm using, some kind of problem with the processor,... ).
As I am intending to use my laptop for live performances, this problem really needs to get solved...
I'd be very thankful for any suggestion
greetings
Kobe

Well I'm hoping I'll just take it back to the Apple service center and they'll magically fix it (since it's not even a year old!), but I get the feeling I'm going to get fobbed off with some lame excuse, to which they'll get a piece of my mind!
I've tried the Motu 828mk3 on my 5 year old PC running Windows 7 and it works, so I'm doubtful the problem is with the Motu unit. I've tried practically everything... reset the SMC, reset the PRAM, reset the MOTU, plugged in an external firewire drive/hub and chained the MOTU, toggled the optical inputs/outputs and nothing seems to work. The only things I haven't tried (that I can think of) are:
a) another 800 to 400 firewire cable (I've only just bought this one so I'm loathe to spend extra on another to find out it doesn't solve the problem).
b) a clean re-install of OSX (think I'll leave that to the Apple guys and gals).
c) an express card with firewire 400 ports (again I'm loathe to spend money on this unless I KNOW it will solve the problem).

My wireless mouse often loses connection. I replace batteries and it works for a few days before becoming problematic again. Battery currently shows 100% and connection is lost intermittently. Bluetooth is on and wireless keyboard works. Any suggestions?

Is it possible that you have a bad bunch of batteries?
My Magic Mouse on one computer and the Mighty Mouse on another use batteries I bought through the Apple store (with a charger). They last a long time.

Another possiblity is that the mouse is defective. Since the keyboard connects, it has to be the mouse or the batteries.

Windows 7 Pro Client loses connectivity to internal Win2k8 web server

1. affected workstation are Optiplex 380 running Win 7 pro sp1 with broadcom NICs.
2. Internal users use a internal webserver for customer invoicing application. Users lose connectivity to this internal web server, all other networking works, network shares, internet, etc. If I try to ping the webserver IP I get no reply. XP
machines are not affected. Not a DHCP issue as there are plenty of IPs.
3. I have tried different internal NICs (3com) but still had issue. I have upgraded BIOS, nic drivers. etc.
4. I rebuilt one of the machines using Windows XP pro sp3 and have had no issue with that workstation.
the problem started a few months or so ago. I have not been able to determine the source. I tried running wireshark but nothing stuck out. I have changed the session settings on the IIS server from 15 minutes to 6 hours but did not make a difference.
5. Today when client lost connectivity to the server I tried pinging from the server back to the client and the connection was restored. This issue really has me confused as I cannot find anything in the logs that sticks out.

Hello,
Thank you for your question.
I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Remote app on iPad connects to iTunes but then loses connection.

Hi,
Basically, I can get the app on my iPad to connect to iTunes, but if I then start doing something else on my iPad, or my computer goes to sleep, then the remote won't connect again. Even if I wake my macbook and try to connect it again.
If I press 'add an iTunes library' in the remote app, nothing appears on iTunes.
To solve the problem, I have to restart my computer.
I just checked to see if my iPhone connects and it worked straight away. Maybe its a problem with my iPad?
Can anyone suggest anything?
Oscar

I too have this problem and made it worse. Under Mavericks and iOS7 everything set up very easily and worked beautifully like Apple stuff usually does. Then a couple of weeks ago I took the dive and updated to Yosemite, iTunes 12 and iOS8 and then I would occasionally lose connection with my iTunes library as described by the second poster. Very aggravating. So I made a bigger mistake and deleted the library from my iPad Remote app and whenever I started it up again it would say 'Add a device'. I clicked and a randomly generated 4 digit number appears with the exact instructions: 'To add an iTunes library, open iTunes on your computer and choose Remote from the tab bar'. I went to iTunes and searched EVERYWHERE for this Remote tab bar and could not find it. I then went to iTunes Preferences: Devices and clicked the button 'Forget All Remotes' thinking this may reset something in iTunes and make the Remote tab appear somehow to start from scratch. Wrong! Now there is absolutely no connection between the Remote app on my devices and iTunes on my computer.
Can anyone point me to this Remote tab in iTunes?? If I can find that then I think I should be able to fix this.
Geez, talk about effing up what should be (and was) a very simple app.

HP Officejet 4620 All-in-One Loses Connection to Wireless Network When It Goes Into Sleep Mode

My HP 4620 All-In-One wireless printer works fine until it goes into sleep mode. Once it goes into sleep mode, it doesn't wake up if a print job is sent to it. If I wake it up manually by pressing the blinking on/off button, it still doesn't print. If I completely turn it off and then on again, the print job that was queued on my computer will start printing, but that's a huge pain and waste of time nearly every time I want to print. I've installed all available updates. I also assigned a static IP address in an effort to correct this but nothing helps. I see that others have complained about this problem, but I do not see that anyone has had success resolving this. My operating system is Windows Vista. I use a Link-Sys Wireless G Router. Thanks.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

so I have called HP tech support 12 times over the last 6 weeks and still my HP Officejet 4620 loses connection overnight. Of course becasue it was a birthday present I spent more time than I normally would have on this issue. While the tech are very polite they have not fixed my problem and now it is too late to return printer to store. This is a lot of money wasted and I think they need to admit this is a bug in this printer and resolve the problem!!!!!

Officejet Pro l7580 Constantly loses connection to wireless laptop!!

Hi and thanks for helping.
I have an Offiecejet Pro L7580 and use it on my network, servicing a desktop and a laptop. The desktop is wired to the router while the laptop is wireless. Concerning my desktop, the printer connection is solid. It is 100% dependable. My laptop is a completely different story. I noticed that it would connect just fine and print, scan, etc... But after about 10-15 minutes it tells me that it is disconnected. This has been a continuous problem. Both systems use win.7 Ultimate 64 bit.
I found out that if I go into my D-Link DI-524 wireless router and change my wireless channel from one to another, it automatically reconnects. This means that my printer... or laptop is losing a connection due to channel activity. I have tried multiple channels in case of wireless interference from other devices. It happens all the same. This either sounds like a printer firmware problem that loses connection when the router channel cycles, or my laptops network card (even though I never lose connection to the internet). My laptop uses a buffalo mini usb wifi adapter (thanks to a widely known problem of DV series factory defects).
Please help me find out what the problem is.
Thanks,
Jason

Here are a few things to try:
1. Update the firmware on your router.
2. Set a static IP address for your printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). Yours is 192.168.0.100 to .199 Enter 192.168.0 220 for the IP address.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Leave the gateway and DNS blank. Click 'Apply'
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

IPad3 loses connection to home network and same happens to laptops.

I purchased the new IPad a week ago. Since then, I often lose connection to home network. Cannot join network unless I power off and on the modem/router. This also hapens every morning. The same is now happening with our wireless laptops. Never had any problems all these years until the iPad was introduced to our network. Our Internet provider confirmed that modem/router protocols were set per advice from Apple Support and they did additional tweaking but problem persists. I am thinking of getting a new modem and router but wonder if it is worth it. Has anyone had similar problems where their other devices are having the same connection issues as the iPad? Thanks.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

MacBook Air loses connection to internet but not LAN

Hi, I am using a MacBook Air 11" (mid-2012) running OS X Mavericks (10.9.3). I'm connecting to my home LAN via WiFi connection to a TP-Link 300M Wireless router that is setup as a switch (per instructions here http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?faqid=417), which in turn is connected via wire (ethernet-over-power) to a Technicolor cable modem/router provided by my ISP (UPC in the Netherlands; I can look up the model number of the router if needed, but it's two floors down right now and doesn't strike me that this is the cause of the problem).
I have a problem that my MacBook Air intermittently loses connectivity to the internet for extended periods (minutes) even though (a) the MacBook Air maintains full connectivity to my LAN at the same time through WiFi and (b) other computers connected to the cable modem/router maintain their connection to the internet while my MacBook Air has lost its connection.
My test to see where the breakdown is occurring is to have four terminal windows up and running ping processes:
1) ping to 192.168.0.1 (my router) - this always stays live, with essentially no lost packets
2) ping to an external address (I'm using 74.125.136.94, a google.nl address) - this is my main test for access to the internet and where I see ping failures (I'm also testing with pings to other sites when the problem is occurring to ensure it's not something on the remote end).
3) ping to 192.168.0.13, which is a Synology NAS attached via ethernet cable to my main cable modem/router - this always stays live, with essentially no lost packets.
4) a login to the Synology NAS, where I am also running a continual ping to 74.125.136.94, and this external ping does NOT fail when the one from my MacBook Air does, it stays live with essentially no lost packets.
The problem will usually correct itself after 1-3 minutes (though the time is not consistent), and also gets corrected if I turn the MacBook Air's WiFi off and on again.
Any suggestions for what I can do to stop this problem?
Thanks
John

No. If connected to WiFI served by Technicolor, the problem does not occur (even if the other AP is connected to the network).

Not yet. I will not have a chance to do it for the next few days though :/

Apple remote app loses connection

I am using the remote app to control my Itune on my computer on Vista. I am able to initiate the connection. But when I close the remote and re-open I still see the library but I am not able to open it.
I able to reconnect if disable and re-enable home sharing.
*I have no firewall activated
*WiFi conection working perfectly
*Same problem from my Ipad and my Ipod.
I did all recommend troubleshooting from apple with no success. I read a lot of post on web about that problem but it seems that it should had been fix in the latest version.
Any idea
Thanks.

I have the same / similar problem.
Just after starting iTunes (10.1.2) I can see the library in remote (2.1), can connect and control iTunes.
This works fine for a couple of minutes, then the remote app loses connection to iTunes. The library turns from black to grey in settings, can nor be found nor added.
I have tried this on two different Vista PCs and three different routers with all firewalls turn off.
Looks like a straight forward bug to me. Any ideas please?
