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.

  • 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.

    you only want to sync from 1 or the other. not both. i recommend sticking with one backup area. in your info section of itunes, make sure that you are not selecting to replace the data on the device.

  • After Bluetooth Mouse connect it directly disconnect

    Hi community,
    i am a new mac user and i love it, but now i got my first problem i can't resolve.
    I have a bluetooth mouse, which worked for about a month very well. But since today it dosen't work anymore.
    After i start my Mac (Bluetooth is turned on) and then i activte the mouse. My MBA told me that the mouse is found and shows that the mouse is connected via bluetooth but a seconed later the mouse is disconnected.
    I tried to deactivate the wlan but the same result.
    I don't understand that because approximately for the first everything works fine.
    I hope anyone can give me a hint to solve that problem.
    thx -klimm-

    I've never come across this, even when using BT mice, where the system continued to think it was connected. This is not to say it can't happen although I find it a little weird that it is.
    Anyway, I would first try re-pairing the BT MM. Failing that, I guess you can disable BT as an alternative. If BT isn't on it can't think that there's a mouse connected there. Finally, I always kept a really cheap USB mouse at home and office for these type of situations.

  • Bluetooth mouse connection without pushing "connect" button on mouse

    Hello,
    In Ubuntu with gnome the pc would connect automatically to my logitech bluetooth mouse, without me having to push the "connect" button on the mouse.
    The only way I've found now to connect to my mouse is by running
    sudo hidd --search
    *and* clicking the "connect" button on the mouse. I would like to:
    1) not need sudo. Without sudo I get
    renato@tosharch:~$ hidd --search -t 0
    Searching ...
    Connecting to device 00:07:61:D1:87:B0
    HID create error 13 (Permission denied)
    2) not need to push the "connect" button on the mouse, so i could add the command to my ~/.xinitrc and have the mouse automatically recognized
    what am I missing?

  • OSX crashes when coming out of standby with bluetooth mouse connected

    Hi everyone,
    I recently bought an HP bluetooth mouse for use with my macbook pro as i find the mighty mouse uncomfortable. Problem is if I close the lid and put my mac into standby I cant bring it out again and have to power it down and restart. This only happens when this mouse is connected. How can I stop this from happening? Obviously it's no problem to disable bluetooth before going into standby but sometimes I forget and that becomes a real pain when I want to start up again.
    Thanks in advance
    Simon

    Finally sorted it myself, I needed to disable the option to let bluetooth devices wake the machine.

  • Bluetooth mouse connection problems

    Having a great deal of trouble getting my bluetooth mouse to work. Various parts of the system seem to giving conflicting info. Get "can't pair" and it's shown as paired in the BT Preferences pane but won't connect.
    Currently it's showing paired and not connected.
    Help appreciated.

  • 3G connection vanished this morning

    I was sitting at my desk this morning, listening to Pandora on the iPhone when suddenly my 3G connection died. Can't even get an EDGE signal. And there is no WiFi here at work.
    Has anyone else noticed a vanishing 3G connection (I'm in the Philly metro area). This is the first time anything like this has happened. Suggestions? (I've already rebooted the phone... nothing)

    Ok... tried the hard reset and that didn't resolve the problem either. Eventually called the ATT 800 number (I try to avoid customer help at all costs). They told me there is an issue with the service in Eastern PA (right where I am) and they're working to resolve... not the most satisfactory answer, but at least I know the issue is not with my phone.
    Thanks for the suggestions. Now it's just a waiting game.

  • 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.

  • Bluetooth mouse connection goes on and off

    Ever since I installed Mountain Lion, my magic mouse connection goes in and out with annoying frequency - sometimes every few seconds. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix?

    I have the same problem with my Mighty Mouse except I'm still on Lion. Problem started shortly after I bought this IMAC mid summer. Add to this problem: very often the page I am viewing moves off the screen. The page can usually be swiped back when I'm on the web. However, if I am writing an email, it will go off the screen and can't be brought back. This can occur even if I don't touch the mouse but my hand is near the mouse. "Stay on Page" just brings the little multi coloured circle that goes round and round. Email does not return. This occurs using Rogers Yahoo or Apple Mail. Also, just touching the mouse (that is, not tapping it), very often will cause page to enlarge.

  • My phone went from 20 to 1 percent in less than a minute this morning, why?

    My iPhone went from 20% to 1% in less than a minute this morning, and last longer on this last 1%.,
    my question is: could it be fixed with clean install. what I mean does replacing my iOS might resolve this problem or maybe the reason why my bartry acting funny because of some apps I installed recently?
    the usage for today was 6 hours usage and 1 day, 21 hours standby. does this performance with considering the standby time is a reasonable performance or it might be defected?
    please guys tell me what you think in your experiences with your iPhones..
    thanks
    I am using:
    iPhone 5
    iOS 8.1.2

    thanks Joe Z in VA for your reply.
    the problem is that all of has started recently and I bought my iphone 7 months ago and I got it ubdated to iOS 7 in the same day I bought it and i never experienced any of these problems with battery it was working probably but after iOS 8 everything changed between draining and now suddenly this problem.
    I am just wondering does that mean the battery need to be replaced since it acts funny sometimes regardless that it last for while I mean like 6 hours of usage and more than 15 hours standby so my question here is that performance good or bad.. and I am sorry for the long message..

    Lori,
    I have the same mouse and have had similar problems. Interestingly, as I am typing now it is working but I have suffered through lost connections since purchasing it 1 month ago.
    Recently, I have added it to my favourites in the BT set up. I have also forced a passkey. My instructions indicated that the key is 1234 but I found old documentation on the net that say 0000 is the passkey. The later worked to pair the unit however not sure it fixed anything.
    I do find that if I keep it charged using the batteries that came with it and the USB cable it holds up longer. I give it a good 24 hour charge then unplug and mouse away.
    Hope that helps, Chris

  • When the bluetooth mouse connection is continually lost and a new BT mouse is not recognized, what action is needed to fix the problem?

    What possible issues result in this probem?

    Bluetooth uses the same crowded 2.4 GHz band used by cheap Routers. If you live in an area with many neighbors, and can see more than two neighbors' Routers, you may have too much Interference for reliable operation.
    Unshielded USB cables near the mouse can also contribute to the problem.
