If you searched you should have found you are not alone with that MM/Mac Pro problem.  Probably the biggest thread in these forums (22 pages) is this one:
Poor Bluetooth reception and jerky mouse
Summary, add your own external antenna or get a USB Bluetooth dongle.
How far are your mice from the mac pro's?  Probably more than 3 or 4 feet  from the back of the mac pro is about the limit.
Are there any wireless devices nearby (e.g., routers).  Sometimes they cause interference.
AirPort and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference
You coud try smc and pram resets but it probably won't help.

  • Bluetooth Apple Magic Mouse jumps and moves erraticlly on screen

    Hello,
    I am having problems with my Magic Mouse (cursor, pointer) jumping around on my screen when i attempt to use it. I checked preferences and the connection is fine. Has anyone else experienced this? And if so how do we remedy this annoying problem?

    I was about to post this same question and then I found this thread.
    Magic Trackpad was working great, I love using it.
    Then one day after a week or so of use it starts acting erratically.
    I assumed it was the batteries (although still above 70%) and changed them. Yet with fresh batteries reporting 100% it still refuses to take input and does its own erratic thing.
    I've had to switch it off constantly today because even when I switch to using the trackpad on my MBP (Core2duo Nov '06 model) the pointer jumps about on the screen and worse still "clicks", on things which causes mayhem.
    The suggestion of the USB power doesn't seem to affect me as all I have is the Apple aluminium keyboard plugged into my MBP. No other bluetooth devices being used or nearby. It's happened at 3 different locations too I can't blame interference from anything nearby
    Shame as I had thought Apple had finally produced a "mouse" that was worth of their brand and reputation.

  • Why does my magic mouse button and scroll surface not work?

    My MacBook Air 13" ran out of power before I could connect it to a power source. After I was able to power it on again, the Magic Mouse button and scrolling surface could no longer work even though I could still use the optical pointer below to move the cursor. How can I restore the button and scrolling surface. Have tried powering down and up both the MacBook Air as well as the mouse. Also tried unpairing and re-pairing both but nothing works so far. Thanks.

    Have you tried to edit your settings in Apple menu -> System preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse?

  • Magic Mouse connectivity and now clicking issue

    Had my Magic Mouse for a few years now and it worked perfectly well up until about 12 months ago. It suddenly started to lose connection at random intervals (no it's not the batteries or the terminals) that annoyed me but I got on with it. Now though it seems to of seized up! It was jumping all over the place, selecting things I hadn't clicked and then seemed as if the right click was permanatly engaged. Now it's just not clicking at all which presents a problem in that I can't wen access the settings tab to try and fix it!! Tried taking the batteries out, no change. Restarted the computer manually, no change, changed the batteries even though they were reading 100%... No change. I'm a student again now, I can't afford £60 for a new mouse, especially after reading the thousands of threads about how bad they are!

    "Few years"
    What makes you think that a mouse ( or anything else) lasts forever?
    "Thousands of threads?"  That us quite an exaggeration and clearly not accurate.
    Buy a new one.

  • Erratic Magic Mouse (jumps accross screen precisely every second)

    The title sums it up really. Every second (on the second) the cursor will jump very slightly on the screen. Probably only about 2 or 3 millimeters. It's annoying, but it's not a huge deal.
    What IS a huge deal is when the mouse decides to jump the cursor to a random point on either of my two screens. Extremely annoying especially if the second screen isn't even turned on and it jumps over there.
    What I've noticed is that it seems to do it more frequently when there is a higher load on the system. With a 'normal' workload (internet browsing, skype, listening to music etc) it will do this big jump approximately every minute. But when there is a high load, like when I'm trying to play a game it will happen every couple of seconds, rendering most games totally unplayable! (The number of times my character has ran off the edge of a cliff because of this is maddening).
    Now here's the thing, I took my iMac and Magic Mouse to my local Apple Store and wouldn't you know it, nothing happened. It behaved itself perfectly. But they were very good and swapped my old Magic Mouse for a brand new one out of a retail package anyway. Happy, I bring it home and immediately it's doing it again exactly as before with the brand new mouse!
    My iMac is the 2010 27" Core i5 version upgraded with 12gb of ram, in case any of that is relevant at all.

    I don't believe this. I've just spotted this post by user Ratzelda. He says that it's an issue with having dual (or multiple) monitors connected but powered down. I hadn't noticed any change in the mouse's behaviour when using the second monitor, but out of curiosity I just switched it on and sure enough the mouse is behaving normally now!
    That explains why the mouse didn't respond erratically when I took the iMac to the Apple Store, because I didn't take my second display with me.
    It seems like this is a known issue, and yet no patch has been released by Apple to fix it? Having to continuously run both monitors when it's not needed seems very energy inefficient to me. What is Apple playing at?

  • Magic Mouse jumps all over the screen

    *Magic Mouse is on Drugs*
    OK so first, let me say that generally speaking i love my mac. There was a time in the 90's when i was a big Apple fan, but after a few dumb@ss business decisions by Apple, i decided to convert to Windoze (and my entire company at that) So here we are a decade later; and I'm back on a mac again.
    Recently my MagicMouse started spazzing out. Randomly jumping to new points on the screen. At first it was mildly annoying. Now it's infuriating. I used Camtasia to record this behavior:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fX8ApUH6QOw
    I called Apple to discuss this. First, they said "they weren't aware of any issues" A quick google of "MagicMouse Jumps" returned hundreds upon hundreds of links (including this forum) describing the issue.
    Second, after assuring Apple this really was a problem, i got the ultimate insult. "If you would like to lodge a technical support ticket, we will need your credit card. This call will cost you $150.00."
    You see, I bought this thing four months ago. Apparently you only get a 90 day free call period. After that you're warranty is actually a cost per call scenario.....
    So -- While i love my mac, i'm of the distinct impression i've made the wrong choice. The only good news is I've now decided not to convert the rest of our 20 workstations in my business back to Mac....
    Apart from my b*tching, has anyone actually solved this problem that according Apple, doesn't exist?
    Oh by the way --- plugged in a USB laser mouse, problem does not occur with that device -- tried on all sorts of surfaces; mouse pads, no mouse pads, black paper, white paper, patterned, non patterned, special optical mouse pad for laser mice.... SAME results no matter what the surface is, and YES, i've also cleaned the optics with a lens cloth..... (And the battery is currently at 88%)

    Hello g:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    I suspect a faulty mouse. However, try two things first. Trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restart. Reset the PRAM:

    There is no Apple charge for a warranty issue and the mouse has a one year warranty. Call Applecare back (or take it to a store if they have one close to you). Unless I am badly mistaken, Apple will replace the mouse and pay for shipping both ways (I had one fail a couple of years ago myself). Do identify the call as a warranty issue.

  • Magic Mouse Disconnects and Trackpad Unusable

    When the battery gets low on the mouse I turn it off, replace them but it doesn't reconnect.
    I use the MacBook Pro in clamshell mode with the LED Apple screen, so I open it up to use the trackpad... then I go into the Bluetooth settings and it says the magic mouse is connected... I try disconnecting it, or even removing it but all I get is a beach ball... some lag and nothing changes.
    Then the greatest thing of all happens... the trackpad stops working too.
    Now I am stuck with just a keyboard... might as well go back to DOS.
    You don't know how frustrating this is... especially because I love Apple... all I can do is force a shutdown... with all my data lost.
    I really can't use a mac as my working machine if this continues. I was even considering getting an iMac too but if the bluetooth stops working there too, I don't have a trackpad.
    Anyone can shine a light on this issue?

    I have this same problem for my 07 iMac. It just started this summer (2014). Nothing I do will reconnect the mouse except rebooting and then it connects right up. When this happens the mouse will connect to my Macbook no problem, but just will not reconnect to my iMac unless I reboot.

  • Magic Mouse Jumps After Update to 10.6.8 - Help!

    Ok so I have updated my 2010 iMac to v10.6.8 and now my Magic Mouse randomly spazzes across the screen or is very slow to move. I have installed the supplemental update in the hopes of fixing the problem, also reset the PRAM and SMC, all to no avail. I've seen quite a few threads about this issue for Lion users, but have yet to come across one specifically for Snow Leopard users.
    If there is one and I'm just being blind, please feel free to point me in the right direction.
    If there isn't and there's something else someone with better knowledge of this kind of thing than I have can suggest, by all means let me know.
    Thanks in advance.

    Here comes the/my solution:
    Remove Sophos Antivirus
    Thanks to boojum's remarks in https://discussions.apple.com/message/15480849#15480849 !
    Don't forget to use Sophos' deinstall package: /Macintosh HD/Library/Sophos Anti-Virus/Remove Sophos Anti-Virus.pkg
    Nevertheless, some settings have been re-initialized (no complete list!):
    - Dock
    - Language has been reset to English only
    - Expose & Spaces
    (- probably all personal settings?)

  • Magic mouse, trackpad and bluetooth

    So I've had my bluetooth trackpad and magic mouse for 6 months on my iMac.
    All of a sudden the 'right click' on the mouse doesn't work. Strange. So I talk to a Mac specialist via Express Lane, and we reset the Pram. Everything works fine. Then two days later, the right click stops working. Reset Pram. Everything works fine. I do this another couple times and then decide this isn't the long term solution. I talk to a mac specialist at the apple store and they give me a new Magic mouse. So I Pram reset, and ow, the mouse isn't recognized, yet the trackpad continues to work fine. Help.

    Got a new mouse from the Apple Store.  Works fine now.

  • Magic Mouse Primary and Secondary Clicks Switched

    Recently I picked up a Magic Mouse and have since found some very strange things that I don't know how to fix:
    The primary and secondary clicks are switched. As in, under mouse settings when I select the secondary click to be on the right, only the primary click works on the right side and everything else is a secondary click. It is also very annoying because every time I have more than one finger touching the surface it counts as a secondary click. If anyone knows how to fix this I would really appreciate feedback.
    I looked around in settings and couldn't find anything regarding this matter. I fiddled with some stuff but never got it working properly.
    Feedback much appreciated!
    --Justin

    Looking at another thread in this forum, I see some people who had older apple mice installed before the magic mouse are having this problem with the magic mouse.
    I had an older wireless mouse that would take right-clicks before I set up the magic mouse. Unfortunately when I connect the older wireless mouse I can no longer access it's preferences. It only gives me the preferences a generic one button mouse. Somewhere there must be some set of files I can delete and it will forget this old mouse.
    I am pretty disheartened after a week of this. One of the benefits to a mac is that I shouldn't have to dig around removing drivers and such

  • Magic Mouse (Scrolling and Swiping)

    I know this has been asked several times, but I have gone through most of the posts to try and find a solution, and nothing has helped.
    I initially lost scroll and swipe about 6 months ago, and ended up downloading MagicDriver (which has now expired and will not be developed any further). That was a solution for the time being. I've killed off the USBdriver file, I've reset everything I could reset, I've even gone so far as to buy a NEW magic mouse, thinking perhaps my "old" one was having issues.
    But, I'm still unable to scroll or swipe.
    I've tried turning my mouse on and off, and now it won't even connect to the computer... I'm kind of at a loss for what to do at this point.

    I have had all the slow and other cursor problems described and was becoming desperate with withdrawal symptoms having had to use a wired standard WIndows mouse.
    PROBLEM SOLVED - I noticed horizontal scrolling had improved whereas vertical was still appalling.
    CLEANED THE MOUSE LENSES with spectacle cloth and cleaning fluid - cloth dampened.
    Everything now BEAUTIFUL! and I am able to do amazing things having set up variousa options with MagicPrefs

  • Magic Mouse Bluetooth and MacBOOK Pro problems

    Hello,
    In the past few days, I noticed the BT Magic Mouse started stuttering as if it was low on batteries or too far from the MacBook Pro (not a Mac Pro)
    I checked the batteries, they are at 100%, I am using the same mouse pad as I ever did and the mouse is being used about 10cm away from the laptop in clear view.
    I tried disconnect/reconnect to no avail. Same with rebooting. The issue seems to come and go as it pleases.
    Has someone experienced anything quite like this?

    Yes, unfortunately I do, and it seems (in my case to have to do with the laptop, not the mouse). My mouse is about two feet away from the laptop and it stutters often. Then, when I move closer it appears to work smoother. I tried another magic mouse (that I know to work well, when paired to an iMac) with the same result. Unfortunately, my desk is setup in such a way that I have to change hands in order to move the mouse closer, so this is not an option. I think it must be a bluetooth issue with my Macbook Pro (2007 with a recent motherboard because of the nvidia bug issue), but it only started after using the magic mouse.
    Is this a known issue, or does anyone know an easy fix?

  • Magic Mouse jumping, lagging etc (Lion OS, Macbook Pro) cure!

    I cured all my bluetooth Magic mouse issues when I switched my 2.4 wifi channel back to any other channel but 12, this seems to clash horrifically with my magic mouse.
    Cause-
    A virgin media guy changed the channel during a routine service call saying it was the best channel and one he recommended. He then used the magic mouse via my mac to do a speedtest (60Mb Superhub) in an attempt to consolidate his changes only to condemn my new mouse by saying "mmmm your mouse is very laggy" and also saying he didnt like any Apple products.
    As soon as he went I changed channel back and my mouse is 100%.
    Cure-
    Avoid Channel 12 on a wifi routers- it competes with Apple Bluetooth...
    Steevi

    Oh and by the way, it's part of the bluetooth favorites.

  • Share Magic Mouse, Screen and Keyboard between two Macs

    Hi folks,
    I'm considering buying a Magic Mouse for my work/studio-setup, mostly because of the way the touch and gesture features are implemented in Logic Pro X. Until now, I have used a Mac Pro directly connected to one DVI-display as well as a MBP. Both computers are also connected to a KVM-Switch sharing a second DVI-display and a wired Logitech Mouse and wired Apple Keyboard. I always liked this setup because I can switch between mouse and keyboard for the computers and the screen they share with the single click of a button on the KVM's remote control.
    Is there any way that is as simple to control as this that I could set this up using a Magic Mouse while making sure that I can still use all Apple-specific gesture and touch functionality? From what I have read some people are using Bluetooth-Dongles on their KVMs USB-Ports, other use Software like Synergy or ShareMouse. But all of these solutions seem to make the setup more complex or seem to make some of the functionality I would buy the Magic Mouse for unusable. Instead of having to install some additional software on my machines that runs in the background all the time and is prone to compatibility issues etc., I would prefer a solution that is based on hardware and uses just Mac OS system features. Also, a solution that takes more then a couple of seconds to switch everything (KVM) between systems is not of practical use for my workflow. I would very much appreciate any hints or experience on this topic that you can share.
    Regards,
    Michael

    Automatic does not work for me on this particular task. . My primary computer is an iMac. On travel I use a MacbookPro. I want the MacbookPro to have the same Contacts list as the iMac. I am logged into iCloud on both computers. The MacbookPro needs to be syced. On it I logged out of icloud, and in doing so I chose to delete files from the computer. Then I logged in again to icloud. That put a lot of additional lists of groups into the Contacts, lists that are not on the iMac. But some individual pages are not updated to match the iMac.
    I tried to manually copy (and overwrite) the various files on the MacbookPro that seemed to deal with the Contacts, including
    my Library/Applicatiion Support/AddressBook
    my Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
    They are still not the same.
    On my Macbook I unchecked the Contacts, which deleted them and checked them again. This now deleted all of my groups and the individual ones are not synced with the iMac.  
    So now I have had three different versions of Contacts on the Macbook, as I manipulated turning on and off iCloud, and not one of them has been the same as on iMac.
    How do I get the Macbook contacts to be the same as on iMac?
