Lost HP bluetooth mouse

Hello,
I use hp bluetooth mouse. Yesterday, I upgraded the system to 10.7.2, then the mouse worked OK. Today I tried to pair apple mouse to another mac in the same room. My computer suddenly picked up the signal earlier. I did not pair the apple mouse with my mac. However, my hp mouse stopped responding. I have deleted it from a list of paired devices.
I have tried numerous times pair it again. It does not work.
Since mouse does not have its own keyboard I select no passcode option.
The result message is below.
The strange thing is that when choosing a passcode 0000 the mouse appears for a couple of secconds in the paired devices list, but the connection is not done and the message is:
I have tried connecting the same mouse to Windows bootcamped to my mac and it works, I can delete and the mouse from the list of devices and and add it as many times as I want. My mobile phone connects to mac in Mac OS no problem, I dare not deleting it from the paired devices list though.
Please help.

Managed to solve the problem myself. In the Bluetooth section of the System Preferences I have selected Update Services under the knob with a gear. It did the trick and the mouse is connected and paired.

Lost my bluetooth mouse connection twice this morning - why?

My iMac 21.5" bluetooth mouse lost its connection twice this morning. The 2nd time for a long time (like 5-10 minutes). The battery indicator is still showing 36%. During this time the bluetooth keyboard had no problems.
It was very frustrating! I should get a wired mouse as a backup!
But in the meantime, what generally causes a problem like this? It's certainly not a proximity issue.
Thanks,
doug

Of course you can't reset preferences, delete bluetooth and re-pair or do anything that requires using the mouse to do something as long as you don't have a working mouse.
I did change the batteries, but that didn't help either. It just seemed to eventually connect again.
I'll take a look at the link though. Thanks.

You have Office 2004 or earlier, which won't work in Lion. To run Office in Lion you'll have to upgrade to the current version.

I lost my bluetooth after installation of Maverick2. Can anyone help me please, i cannot use my magic mouse on my Mac Book Pro retina???

There is a fix; I finally discovered how to clear the Windows 7 xx64 Device Manager's warning of a missing Bluetooth Peripheral device.
Thinking Boot Camp 4.0 would correct thid, I installed it ititially today only to have the warning remain.
The Bluetooth company called Broadcom (you notice the reference during the installation of Boot Camp) offers a BlueTooth "device finder" (my phraseology) that detects all BlueTooth devices in your Apple or PC but withing a Windows operating system; included are Windows 7 , Vista, XP and even 2000 operating systems.
So download the 3 MB file, from Broadcom.com. While your Bluetooth equipment is plugged in to the computer, run the program. The program searches for any BlueTooth peripheral activated equipment and BlueTooth devices that makeup your MacBook Pro, or other Apple or a plain PC computer having a Windows operating system installed. It then downloads the appropriate software required.
The company's URL address:
http://www.broadcom.com/support/bluetooth/update.php
In my case, I ran the program, rebooted my MacBook Pro (in Windows 7 x64 and with the new Boot Camp 4.0 installed) and the missing BlueTooth peripheral device indication was eliminated. It took 10 minutes to complete.

Bluetooth Mouse "Lost Connection"

I keep getting a "Lost Connection" message with my bluetooth mouse even though I have plenty of battery life left? Does anyone know why or what I can do? Thanks!

Steven,
I had the same symptom. I found that there was a problem with there not being enough pressure being applied by the metal strip inside the mouse cover to the switch next to the laser. It was intermittent enough that it would lose contact every so often, making the mouse think that it had been switched off.
Making a slight bend in the metal strip so as to keep more pressure on the switch seemed to solve the problem.

Bluetooth mouse won't reconnect when switched on

I have a 2.4GHz Mac Min (last model before being replaced by the model without DVD drive) and a Mac USB keyboard. I wanted to use a Bluetooth mouse as I don't like the trailing lead with a USB mouse, but I wanted a conventional three button type mouse as I need that for my RISC OS emulator program, so I bought a Logitech V470 Bluetooth mouse. I set it up in Bluetooth preferences with no problem and set it as a favourite. It then worked very well and was comfortable, smooth and accurate. The problem comes after I have turned it off, either when I am not going to be using the computer for a period of time, or at night, obviously to save batteries. When I switch the mouse back on, the computer and mouse simply will not reconnect. The only way I can get the mouse to reconnect is to plug in a USB mouse, delete the original device pairing, and set-up a new device again; or power the computer off and restart it. Sometimes restarting the computer doesn't work as a dialogue box will open over the password screen saying it can't find any mouse, then it finds it and shows the correct Mac Address of the mouse but even clicking any of the buttons on the mouse it still won't actually control the mouse pointer!
I have another Bluetooth mouse, a Microsoft 5000, which I use with my MacBook Pro so I tried that with the Mac Mini and once paired it works fine, *including* after being turned off, reconnecting within a second of being turned back on. So I asumed it was something to do with the Logitech mouse rather than the Mac Mini, and contacted Logitech. As it was a new mouse they suggested it was faulty and I have been sent a new one. However this one is the same and in one respect actually worse. Once paired it works fine just like the original, but once it has been switched off, again it will not reconnect when switch on. But with this one, even closing down the computer and restarting it won't connect the mouse. The only way with this one is to delete the pairing and set-up a new pairing again. That means whenever the computer or mouse are turned off, you have to connect a USB mouse so that you can get back in, delete the pairing and set-up a new pairing again, which is unacceptable.
However, if I boot the Mac Mini into Windows XP using bootcamp the Logitech mouse works as you would expect in all ways *including* reconnecting immediately after being turned on, if it has been turned off. Also I tried this mouse with a 2006 iBook G4 1.42GHz OS X 10.4.11 and again it functions correctly including reconnecting immediately it is switched back on. So these last two tests appear to show a fault with the Bluetooth firmware in Mac OS X on the new Mac Mini not a fault with the Logitech mice. After all, it is using the same Bluetooth and aerial whether in Mac OS X or Windows but it will only reconnect when in Windows. As a final test I set the MacBook Pro up for Windows 7 using bootcamp and again the mouse will not reconnect in Mac OS X on the MacBook Pro but it reconnects fine in Windows 7 on the same hardware.
Is there an answer to this problem? Do you agree it is a firmware/software fault? Does Apple know about it and are they going to do anything to correct the problem? Thanks. Roy

Yes, I do notice that connection can be lost sometimes and regaining it can be difficult. I have even had to go to the point of finding an old USB mouse to get it going again. I usually try turning off the switch on the mouse and then back on. Then I click it about 5 times or so, usually it picks it up again. Same thing with keyboard. Not sure if that helps at all. Good luck.

I've lost my bluetooth in Sys. Prefs!. Bluetooth Assistant crashes

Somehow I lost my bluetooth capabilities! The icon is no longer in Sys. Prefs. The top bar shows that the bluetooth is Not Available. One minute it was working and the next, it was gone! I was working with an Apple Wireless Aluminum Keyboard and Wireless Mighty Mouse. Bluetooth Assistant doesn't work. I have reinstalled Snow Leopard 10.6 and built it back up to 10.6.8 but I don't know how to customize an install to get the Prefs back. Can anyone help?

Thanks tjk, The hardware setting under Bluetooth says No Information Found! Ugh!
Arf!
Normally, when hardware doesn't show up in System Profiler, it's a hardware issue. Try these in whichever order seems most convenient to you:
Perform an SMC Reset
Run Apple Hardware Test
Make an appointment at an Apple Store "genius" bar
Reinstall OS X (don't do an Erase and Install, as this will erase your entire HD)
Check the AirPort/Bluetooth card connections
Replace the AirPort/Bluetooth card

Bluetooth mouse stops working when adding a printer: 10.10.2

Hi,
I'm using a MacBook Pro 2012 Retina, upgraded to 10.10.2. Since upgrading to 10.10.2 I have been unable to connect to my Canon MG6150 that is plugged into the USB port of the Time Capsule (3TB). Those problems will be detailed in a separate post.
I have tried deleting the printer and creating a new printer and when I click on the + and get the window to select a printer, the bluetooth mouse stops working - the message comes up to show "Connection Lost". I have to select the printer manually and only when I have returned to the main Printer window in Settings & Preferences does the mouse connection work again.
Weird. Between this and not being able to set up the scanning features again (that used to work), I'm feeling underwhelmed...

sounds like an IRQ conflict. See if disabling plug and play in the bios solves it. Arch's kernel provides this already.

Another update (more symptoms):
Today the computer, while in use, has began to randomly turn off (as if it's going to sleep) when connected to my Cinema display. When I unhook everything, pull it out from the desk and open it the screen comes on and everything else is locked up. The only way to make the computer functional again is to reboot it at which time you receive a message that the computer was shutdown because of a problem. The bluetooth issue described above has happened twice today already and this current issue has now happened four times.
Called AppleCare again and spoke to a senior advisor and first she tried to attribute it to a hardware issue and setup an repair. During the process of setting up the repair, she said it is now a software issue and had me verify the hard disk and repair it. She then asked me to create a new partition and reload Mavericks onto it to see if I could reproduce the issue but this was going to take upwards of three hours.
Anyone else experiencing anything in this ballpark?

Hp bluetooth mouse is choppy after replacing batteries.

My HP bluetooth mouse was running fine until the batteries died. In the process of replacing them, the computer lost the connection with the mouse and I ended up reloading it using the CD provided when I got the computer and mouse. Now, the mouse movement is really choppy. It seems okay along the perimeter of the screen, but stops and lags as you approach the center of the screen.
The loaded driver says it is from 2006, yet when I went to update the driver, it said it was the most current one.
Is there something that I need to adjust to get the curser movement smooth again?

Oh... one thing I forgot to add. Even after sliding the laser cover back and forth, I still get no red lights. (and this happened on the first mouse I had too).
It's acting like the mouse is dead. I find that incredible b/c I was JUST using the mouse before it told me the batteries were dying!

Lost controll of mouse, new folders opening

lost controll of mouse, new folders being created without my imput, different apps opening up without my concent, only way to shut down computer is just to hold power button down as i have no control over mouse to do anything. cant use apple hardware test, wont boot into the hardware test, its as if someone else is controlling my 15` macbook pro, lion, 2011. is this a virus or hardware or software problem. help please!!!! peter

There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not apply in your case.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable. A damaged or defective AC adapter could be the cause, even if it's the right kind.
2. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and in that case the unit must be serviced or replaced.
3. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and delete all pointing devices other than the trackpad, if applicable. Disconnect any USB pointing devices. By a "pointing device," I mean a peripheral that moves the cursor, such as a trackpad, mouse, trackball, or graphics tablet. A plain keyboard is not a pointing device.
4. Start up in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you restart as usual, stop here and post your results. Do the same if you can't start in safe mode. If there was no difference in safe mode, go on to the next step.
5. Reset the System Management Controller.
6. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad or mouse, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
7. A swollen battery in a portable computer can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
8. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.

Since update Bluetooth mouse doesn't detect

Updated last night, with new security update & may have also updated bluetooth firmware and since then my Microsoft bluetooth mouse doesn't detect, it worked perfectly before. Bluetooth detects phone so it is working. Are there any fixes to this?

Tried everything. Even tried detect new device. Mouse is definately working on other computer.
Tried Open Bluetooth Setup Assistant at Startup. At startup bluetooth icon briefly shows connected for a few seconds, then nothing.
Seems a lot of people on forum have lost mouse/keyboard connectivity since updating last night.
Would appreciate any help. Trackpad is def no comparison for photoshop etc.

10.6.3 update problem - bluetooth mouse & keyboard

Unfortunately I have to add myself to the list of people who have regretted updating to 10.6.3. From the moment it restarted both my bluetooth mouse and keyboard were reporting "lost connection" every few seconds. I'd get just enough time to click on something before "connection lost" reappeared.
Tried rebooting a few times - no improvement. No point in delaying, had to wipe clean and restore 10.6.2 from back up. 5 hours to restore and about the same to make new back-up so a day lost, but everything back working perfectly.
Both mouse and keyboard are apple products and have been working fine for 4 years with iMac.
Didn't have time to see if there were any other problems. To be fair, this is the first time, in many years, that an update has gone spectacularly wrong.

I think 10.6.3 caused a lot of USB related mice and keyboard problems. My Microsoft wireless keyboard no longer has any extended function key capability and my Logitech Wireless Trackman Wheel periodically is not recognized at all after a restart. Very irritating. Hopefully Apple will fix this in 10.6.4.

This has to be a Mac OS X driver issue - My Bluetooth Mouse just this secon

My Bluetooth Mouse just this second stop working.

My Bluetooth Mouse just this second stop working.
And? Are you expecting someone to be able to diagnose and solve the problem for you based on that statement?
Why are you so certain it "has to be a Mac OS X driver issue"? Have you done something to the Bluetooth system software +"just this second"+ which has caused it stop working?
Some other possibilities are:
• Batteries could've run out.
• Bluetooth hardware in the mouse could've failed
• Bluetooth hardware in the Mac could've failed
• Bluetooth preferences could be corrupted
• Mac and Mouse may have lost their "pairing" info
Unfortunately as you've not provided any information about the problem whatsoever, not even told us what brand or model of Bluetooth mouse you're referring to, or mentioned *a single thing* you've tried already to resolve this, its impossible to help any further.

No bluetooth mouse or keyboard on login on MacBook

Dear experts,
Over the weekend I made a fresh SL install (plus update to 10.6.1) onto a new harddisk on my white MacBook2,1. Imported my old users from the old 10.5.8 harddisk. So far things have been fine except for one:
At the login screen my bluetooth Mighty Mouse and Apple bluetooth keyboard do not work. I have to use the MacBook's built-in trackpad and keyboard. After login both bluetooth keyboard and mouse will work fine. Over time it is annoying as I normally work with an external HD display and the MacBook is positioned across the desk.
I have already tried enabling and disabling the "wake from sleep" and "open assistant if no bt mouse/keyboard is found at startup" options in the bleuthooth preferences. No assistant will come up. As stated above, once I log in the bluetooth devices will work after a few seconds.
Under Leopard 10.5.8 the bluetooth peripherals worked for login as well.
It seems like the bt driver is only loaded after login. Is this a "feature" in SL or can it be helped?
Your help and advice is appreciated.

Yes, I already tried re-pairing twice: Once using the bluetooth assistant and the second time the options provided in the mouse and keyboard preferences (configure bluetooth mouse). Neither did solve the problem. I should have written that in my initial post, sorry.
When I searched the discussions for my problem before posting I did see that some users have bt problems. But my devices work fine, they do not "disappear" in normal operation. They are only not reacting at the login screen.
Is maybe anybody else using a portable Mac together with bt mouse & kb? I was already thinking that if Snow Leopard detects the internal trackpad and keyboard it does not try to connect the bt ones (as you only need one strictly speaking). But then once I log in they work both and also in parallel (internal and bt) as they did in Leopard (sans Snow).
