Magic Mouse connects / disconnects at random

Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro and a Magic Mouse for just 13 months now. It worked fine just until I installed Yosemite.
Now the Magic Mous, working with Bleutooth, connects bit disconnect in one or two seconds later, and than it connects / disconnects again repeatively. I replaced batteries for new ones but in vain: problem continues.
Do I need a new driver that did not went automaticly with Yosemite? Is there an other problem?
Thanks for your help in advance

My magic mouse will work for a couple days fine but for the majority of the time my mac book doesnt even recognize it at all. It says no blue tooth device detected. I've tried everything. New batteries, turning on and off, trying to do anything I can think off. The icon at the top of the page says Bluetooth: Not Available. When I turn the mouse on by the switch on the bottom, it glows green for about 2 seconds ad then starts blinking twice then eventually stops blinking all together. Its been days since i can get it to work. It has always been really touchy. I think I may take it in to the mac store and see what they say. Any one have any ideas????

  • Magic mouse constantly disconnects and can't get it to connect without rebooting the computer.  Anyone else have this issue

    How do you solve the problem of the magic mouse constantly disconnecting?  I have changed the batteries and turn it on and off, but the only way to get it to reconnect seems to be re-starting the computer.  Any thoughts?  Thank you.

    Greetings Beth,
    Wireless devices are susceptible to interference.  Review this article for common sources: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3048#5
    They are also very sensitive to low power.  Make sure you are using VERY fresh batteries.  If they have been sitting on a shelf for months they don't count as fresh IMO.
    Troubleshooting steps to try after you read that article at the top:
    Remove the following to the trash: Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
    Restart the computer and re-pair the mouse and keyboard
    If issue persists reset the SMC:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    If the issue persists reset the PRAM:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    Hope that helps!

  • Magic mouse connection lost

    I have tried several suggested fixes for losing magic mouse connection.  I still lose connection.  Why is this happening and how can I fix it once and for all?

  • Magic Mouse Connecting To Wrong Computer

    I have both an iMac and a MacBook. I purchased a Magic Mouse in the intent of using it with my iMac.
    At one stage, I was doing some heavy duty work on my MacBook and decided to connect my Magic Mouse to it to make it easier to navigate. It did connect, but since then the Magic Mouse keeps disconnecting for my iMac and connecting to my MacBook, and vice versa, while I am working and the MacBook is in range.
    Is there a way which I can remove the Magic Mouse from my MacBook preferences so that it is only connected to the iMac?
    Thank you in advance.

    Open up the Bluetooth system preferences pane, click the mouse on the left and click the '-' button at the bottom.

  • 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.

  • Magic Mouse connects to new MacBkPro but not older wireless keyboard

    Exactly as my subject states, I bought a brand new MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6 and a new Magic Mouse. Mouse links up just fine through Bluetooth but for the life of me, can't get my new computer to recognize my slightly older wireless keyboard (it's abt 1.5 yrs old).
    Do I need a more up-to-date keyboard? Something ka-flooey here? Any suggestions? Thanks so much.

    Problem: My wife's Macbook (Intel Core Duo) is able to connect to my new Time Capsule, but it quickly loses its connection. It doesn't really disconnect though - it still says that it is connected with full reception, but there is no internet, or time machine, and I can't even ping the router.
    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    When that happens, if you open the Network panel of System Preferences, select the AirPort connection item on the left, click the "Advanced" button, then the "TCP/IP" tab, do you see reasonable values for the several fields?
    It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until it works again:
    1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
    2) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
    3) In the same panel as (2), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
    4) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".
    5) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( not <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
    They may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them.

  • Ultimate solution to Magic Mouse connection issue?

    I have found that many users of Magic Mouse are experiencing frequent connection dropouts. I am another user who has been having trouble with this but unable to find a permanent solution.
    I know that whenever this happens, usually by switching off the bluetooth on the computer and switching it back on would make it work again, but sometimes when this problem gets intensified, within a minute after I switch back on the bluetooth and reconnect the mouse,  the mouse would appear laggy again (and disconnect too at times).
    I would like to know if there is a permanent solution to this problem.

    I would add the Magic Mouse to bluetooth favorites. I use Snow Leopard but I think the process is the same for Leopard.
    Go to System Preferences > Bluetooth > Highlight the Mouse on the left > click the gear icon below the list > check "show more information" if not already checked. > return to the gear icon and select "add to favorites".
    That should help with a speedy reconnect.

  • Why does magic mouse keep disconnecting?

    I've got an Apple Magic Mouse  that is less than one year old and it keeps disconnecting from my Mac Mini.  It just started doing it.  I've put in fresh batteries and restarted the computer.   I've got all the latest operating system software.   Nothing is out of date.   Every couple of minutes it just randomlly disconnects then reconnects and so on, over and over again.  It's only about 2 feet away from my Mac Mini.
    Anybody know what to do?
    Thanks.
    David

    I thank you for your help, Ascendi, but I have no idea what you're saying.  I'm guessing I stand alone, because others do understand.  What I got from it was that the batteries don't fit snuggly, and to shove aluminum foil... somewhere.  I'm don't have a PhD in battery terminal dimensions and their terminonolgy.  But I do appreciate that you helped.
    David / Flashkube2... EXACTLY!  After years and years with my wonderful white Magic Mouse, just today the exact same thing started happening, only I was losing connection every 20 seconds.  Half the time, I'd get it back.  I feared it was a Bluetooth error, or a hacker was "stealing my juice"  So I got online here, read this stuff, wiggled my batteries around (for years and years, I've only used Duracel), and for the last 10 minutes, I have kept connection with Mr. Mouse and Mr. Mac.  Keep your fingers crossed!
    So if this problem arises again, I just stuff aluminum foil in there?  (I'll be a wee bit neater than "stuff").  Speak "positive terminal" and "negative terminal" and "top of the batteries" to me, because "depth of the recess" and "vernier caliper" are Chinese to me.  Does "battery recess" mean how the two batteries sit in its casing?
    Maybe I just didn't have enough coffee this morning.  I'm not ususally shtooo-pid.  (don't go there!)

  • Magic Mouse connectivity issue

    Magic Mouse after power on button is switched on, no light indication at all. Frequent connection timed out before it becomes totally unusuable. I bought the Magic Mouse only for 7 months and had changed the mouse once. I had also changed the batteries to alkaline ones but didnt help reviving the mouse. Is this a hardware quality issue or setup issue? please advise.

    HellO:
    No light at all seems to indicate a faulty mouse.  I suggest you contact Applecare (or an Apple store) for a warranty replacement.

  • Magic Mouse connectivity issues

    My magic mouse has been losing its connection lately. I have a 2012 MacBook Pro with Retina display with the latest version of Yosemite. Could it be that the mouse is nearing the end of its life? I bought this mouse when the magic mouse first came out maybe 5 years ago. Any suggestions?

    I've followed several threads and agree with Seventy One, the problem is mechanical and simple to solve.  Cleaning the terminals is sensible, but I also did this which has made my mouse connection robust.
    My Solution:
    I took a thick rubber band cut it to about 1 inch in length.  I placed it across the negative end of the batteries between the batteries and the compartment lid (not between the batteries and the terminals as that would cause a different problem).  When I close the lid, without forcing it, the rubber band holds the batteries firmly in place.  The batteries last longer and there is no drop in connection.  You might need to experiment a little with the thickness of the rubber band.
    I can now lift the mouse, tap it on the mouse pad, turn it upside down and use it on the ceiling, although I do need a ladder and it does make my arm go to sleep after a while.
    I've read about resetting parts of the operating system, but I really don't like doing that because of the law of unexpected consequences.
    The words "glue" and "precision piece of electronic equipment", should not usually be used in the same sentence and are not natural companions, but in this case, now that I have the right thickness and position, I'll glue the band or a similar piece of foam to the inside of the compartment lid.  I expect a future Magic Mouse may have this built in as it is such a common issue.

  • HT1365 Magic mouse connection problem

    Hello, I have a problem with the magic mouse for my imac constantly connecting and loosing connection. Batteries are 100% and the keyboard stays connected no problem.
    The computor is brand new. Any ideas people?

    From scanning the forums, there seem to be two suggested approaches to fixing this.
    Make sure your batteries fit tightly- the Apple rechargeables tend to fit OK, but some others can connect loosely. Try a folded piece of paper between the batteries and under the battery door to hold them snugly in place.
    Remove any possible sources of interference in the 2.4Ghz band- Move your DECT phone further away. Switch to 5GHz wifi for the macbook and phones or ipad if you can. If needs be, turn off possible sources of interference in this frequency range in your location one by one until you can isolate the problem.
    This has been a problem on and off for a year or so.
    I've just tried the bit of paper, and it does seem to be helping so far- fingers crossed.
    Good luck

  • Magic Mouse and Trackpad Become Randomly Eratic

    My setup:
    2011 Macbook Pro
    27" Thunderbolt Display
    Wireless Keyboard
    TrackPad
    Magic Mouse
    My Problem:
    about once every 2 or 3 days, my mouse and trackpad will become eratic (at the same time) Im unable to reliably control them and the cursor will move sparaticlty on the screen. Up to this point, my only option has been to restart. Once the system restarts, Im fine.  This has happened with with several apps open, and with no apps openend, and I have dropped into a terminal window to look at the process table ( ps -ef | more ) and I dont see a hung process or one that might be eating CPU or memory. All software and firmwares are up to date.
    Anyone got any ideas ???

    I have the same problem on my 27" imac with Lion, but I have found that they only play up when the apple tv is being used in a seperate room. I have confirmed this strange occurance by turning the apple tv off, they work fine, then i turn the apple tv on, they are eratic once again. I am starting to think that it is a bluetooth syc issue, not sure..... I seem to be able to make or stop the eratic behaviour by the flick of a switch.

  • Magic Mouse connects...sort of

    I'm replacing a Mighty Mouse (USB) with a brand new wireless Magic Mouse.
    Following the Magic Mouse instructions, I turn it on, get a solid green light.
    Then on my iMac, I select:
    +System Preferences > Mouse > Set Up Bluetooth Mouse+
    It appears to find the Magic Mouse, so I click continue.
    But then it kicks back to the Mighty Mouse menu. No menu/set-up for the Magic Mouse.
    Wrinkle: The Magic Mouse now does move the iMac cursor, but no swiping or scrolling ability.
    I've tried going through the steps again. Still the same exact result.
    Any help appreciated.

    Problem solved. My mistake:
    I had neglected to download and install the Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0 (or later), as the Magic Mouse instructions +clearly say+.
    I just did so, and now the Magic Mouse is fully operational.
    Sorry for the hassle. Word to the wise...
