Magic Mouse continually flashing light

We have had our Imac and magic mouse for a fortnight and we are experiencing problems with the Magic mouse!!  It dropped on the floor earlier and the batteries fell out...since putting them back the light on the back is continually flashing and it does not appear to be making any connection to the Mac.  We have tried changing batteries in case, have gone through system preferences etc on the menu and nothing appears to be working.
Any words of advice would be greatly appreciated.

You are my hero!!!!
I have had exactly the same problem with my mouse.  green light underneath the magic mouse double flashing.  No connection to my iMac.
Took the mouse back to the Apple store and they tested it and swapped for a new one (can't complain about customer service there, very good).
Still didn't work though when I got back home.
Just tried what you said, deleted the mouse from the list and re-added it - it works!!
Thank you.

  • EA6500 - stopped working continuously flashing light

    I have to say that I am greatly disappointed in this wireless router.  This is the second time that this has occurred in less than a year.  The only difference is that the first time (mid May) it corrected by itself.
    Problem:
    The first symptom is that there is a loss of internet connectivity, so we go up and check the router and unplug it.  Initially thinking that there is also a problem with the broadband modem, we poweroff the modem as well. But, recycling the power doesn't resolve the issue.
    We turn everything back on and the router goes through the startup cycle then just goes into a continuous flashing mode. 
    I have attempted to use the reset button to return to reset the configuration, without success.
    I have left it off for long periods of time and then attempted to restart it.
    I have tried turning it on both connected and disconnected from the broadband modem.
    There is now no response from this device. 
    In the past 12 years,  I have owned 2 different dlink wireless routers, and neither failed the entire time that I used them.  The only reason that I swapped them out was for greater functionality and speed improvements. A router that is less than a year old should not go belly up. Cisco should be ashamed to put their name on this device.  I currently manage the global infrastructure for a 1.5 billion Euro company, and we have standardized on Cisco hardware.  This is not even close to the same product quality.
    On an entirely separate soapbox, I object to the fact that the entire configuration and management  is hosted in the internet.  Not very smart, if you loose internet connectivity, you no longer have a LAN.
    Perhaps you can suggest what other alternatives I have besides discarding the device.

    You might need to check if the router was using the correct power adapter. You could also try to reset the router (either the 30-30-30 reset or the 1 minute hardwire) and then power off the router afterwards. In case the router’s power light does continuously blink then, try to follow the steps from this link: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=a72f05de8a5f4a789db726d535ea68cb_KB__EN_v1.xml&pid... . If in the event that the router’s power light will still be blinking then you might perhaps consider to have the router returned and to have it replaced.

  • Magic Mouse continually fails to left click, and keyboard problems

    Since my Yosemite 10.10.1 update, my mouse, and keyboard keep failing periodically. After a nights sleep, when I try to open a program, by left clicking, it will occasionally only right click. Being able to left click, is very crucial, even more then right clicking, especially when trying to enter a website into a url, or when selecting a bookmark. Anyway I will restart my computer, and when I then try to enter my password, certain keys will then fail, and respond wt a low ping. It usually requires at least 5 to 10 minutes of a complete shutdown, until the keyboard and mouse work again. I keep fearing that my keyboard will fail, while entering this message. It occurs so very randomly, but has been occurring more often as time goes by. I worried that it might occur, before I'm done typing this post. Does anyone have any idea, what the problem could be, and have any remedy reccommendations?

    Nubz,
    actually I'm still using a standard wired apple keyboard, wt the magic mouse, because the wire goes under my desk, and I was actually considering getting a trackpad. Still since my Yosemite upgrade, I'm having problem after problem, so I'm not sure I will even stay wt Mac. Honestly I've examined any and all solutions, in that support article, but none of them were relevant to my problem.
    I did check & repair my Yosemite Disk Permissions using Disk Utility, and although it found only a few things wrong, and none were related to my keyboard, or mouse (most were for my HP printer), repairs seemed to rectify the problem.

  • Magic Mouse continually shows context menu on all mouse clicks

    Periodically the magic mouse gets into a mode where all mouse clicks result in the context menu appearing.
    I can't even double click on a application to open.
    I can sometimes get the behavior to stop by rebooting the machine (but not always).  And there are times if I keep banging on the keyboard in a text entry area the all context menu all teh time behavior will stop.
    Originally I thought it was just a magic mouse problem, but I see the same behavior if I swap it out with an old tethered mouse.  Any ideas?
    Thanks

    It sounds like the Control/alt key may be stuck down.  The CNTL click is another way to perform secondary click.
    You can check for that by starting the Keyboard viewer.  System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard tab > check "Show Keyboard and character viewer in the menubar".  Then click the icon in the menubar and start the Keyboard viewer. Any pressed keys will be reflected.
    Regards,

  • Magic mouse continues to disconnect

    This hasn't happened to me until now. The mouse gets disconnected every few hours, and the batteries and power are fine. I have to put my computer to sleep mode and restart it to regain the connection. It also happens when I gently hit the magic mouse on the mouse pad.

    Have you tried making it a favorite?
    System Preferences>Bluetooth - highlight the mouse and then click on the 'cog' at the bottom left side of the window and select 'add to favorites' (you may need to select 'Show more info' first in order to be able to choose Add to favorites).
    This fixed it for me when I was experiencing the same problem - added the keyboard as a favorite as well, even though that wasn't playing up.

  • TS1367 Hey. My iMac screen comes on but it won't let me type my user name in. I first thought the batteries were done on the keyboard or Magic Mouse but they are both flashing. Cam anyone help

    Can someone help. My iMac screen comes on but won't let me key in my details. I first thought my batteries were done but the light on the keyboard and Magic Mouse are flashing. My user name appears but I can't insert my password

    Paul_31 is correct.  The problem is almost certainly a Bluetooth connection issue.  The flashing green lights mean that a connection cannot be established.  You want steady burning green lights.  Using a wired keyboard and mouse will allow you to troubleshoot that issue.  A quick check would be to see if your "problem" keyboard and mouse can connect to another-different Mac.  If they can then the issue is in you computer but if they can't (and I suspect that will be the case) then the problem is with the keyboard and mouse.

  • After Upgrade to 10.9.4, Magic Mouse Not Discoverable by Bluetooth?

    Last night I upgraded to 10.9.4.  The Bluetooth magic mouse is no longer discoverable in the Bluetooth System Preferences pane or in the Bluetooth menu in the menu bar. I have reset the PRAM and SMC.  I have changed the batteries. The green light on the back of the Magic Mouse is flashing. My wife's magic mouse *is* discoverable, but not mine.
    How can I fix this?
    Thanks in advance to all for any info.

    UPDATE: The Magic Mouse just re-appeared in System Prefs.

  • Magic Mouse no longer pairing

    I used a Magic Mouse successfully with my Mini for a month. I've given the computer to my wife, and it no longer wants to pair. When I turn it on, the green light comes on for a while, then goes off into a "two blink, silent, two blink, silent" routine.
    The Bluetooth Setup Assistant says, "No mice have been found. Make sure your mouse is "discoverable"."
    I have had it working with her computer, but often from sleep or reboot the pairing is broken.
    I've also paired it with two other computers, which wasn't an issue initially. Do I need to make it unlearn something? What do the two blinks together mean? Any ideas what changed when I handed the computer over that could unpair the mouse? It is using a new monitor and keyboard, but that's the only significant change.
    Thanks.

    I'm having the same problem with my new 27" iMac. Maybe I'm a dunce, but Apple's (and many users'/posters') solutions to a non-responding/non-pairing mouse seem to be some variation of "Select X from the X menu" or "Turn on/off/open System Preferences/whatever. How do you select ANYTHING when you don't have a movable/clickable mouse cursor to select WITH? And yes, I've installed fresh batteries, clicked on and off, restarted, and still the mouse is NOT paired -- when I turn on the not-so-magic mouse, the green light blinks like crazy, but I get no screen message, no pairing, no nothing. Someone please wise me up to what I'm doing wrong.
    Thanks!

  • Magic mouse doesn't work with new batteries

    my magic mouse green led light won't turn on after putting in new batteries. I've changed the batteries a few times with no problems, but now it won't work. Can my mouse be defective/broken only after a few months??

    I have exactly the same issue.  Whenever I replace the batteries in my magic mouse I have a few days of constant disconnections.  At first it's very annoying and the mouse disconnects every 3 minutes or so.  It reconnects automatically in about 15 seconds but it's a huge pain.  After a couple of days the connection seems to smooth out and become very stable. My guess is that it is something to do with the actual BlueTooth radio and that the signal strength might actually be too high at first.  One note is that I have a magic mouse that I use with an iMac and that never seems to have the trouble, but the mouse that I've used with my laptops has always had this problem even with a couple of different laptops.  It might be the mouse, but it also could be that when I'm using my laptops the mouse is only a few inches from the computer, but on the desktop the mouse is probably 2 feet from the computer. 
    Seems like it's a radio issue to me.

  • My macbook pro(Lion 10.7.2) continually lost connection with the magic mouse, which charged well.

    There is something wrong with my new macbook pro MD322(Lion 10.7.2). It continually lost connection with the magic mouse. I ensure that the mouse is charged well. I also looked up the matter on Web. It looks that the matter is familiar for many users.

    I have a m-audio fast track pro that I'm having a similar problem when using it with my new Macbook Air. I found changing it to 16 bit will work.
    I have a Apogee iMic that works fine so my guess is we will have to wait for Avid/M-Audio to update drivers.

  • My 1st Generation time capsule won't connect to the internet thru a new motorola sb6121 - get continuously flashing yellow light. Using a router in between the modem and capsule yields good but slower connection to internet. Any thoughts?

    My 1st Generation time capsule won't connect to the internet thru a new motorola sb6121 - get continuously flashing yellow light. Using a router in between the modem and capsule yields good but slower connection to internet. Any thoughts?

    Thanks for your response
    Let me give the history - I started with an Apple Express being fed thru a D-Link  EBTR 2310 cable Router from an RCA DCM315 Modem (Pure). Comcast service all the way.
    Got the 1st generation TC in 2008 and merely replaced the Airport Express with the TC. Worked ok
    A year or two ago I did try removing the modem and feeding the TC directly from the modem. Resulted in the same condition I have now - Continuous flashing amber on the TC. So I put the router back in the chain.
    Some time later, at the recommendation of a Comcast rep, I replaced the router with (a Belkin F5D 5231) to see if speed and dropout problems would be improved. I thought it helped some at the time but now I am not so sure.
    Last week I decided to see if a new modem would help with download speeds. So I got another pure cable modem (Motorola SB 6121- high on the Comcast recommended list).
    Got up and running easily with Comcast help and with the modem connected directly to a computer.
    Next I put the TC in the link and again could not get past the TC continuing to flash amber. Although I did get connected to the internet with this configuration I lost connection two both of my printers - one connected by USB and the other wirelessly to the TC. Again everything works fine when I put the Belkin router back in the system.
    However with the router in there, the modem shows the downstream connection to be 10/100 ethernet speed. (Modem light changes color for indicating speeds.}
    I have gone thru all of the combinations of powering down/ up, but all stays the same.
    I can live with what I have but something still doesn’t seem right.
    Thanks again

  • Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK

    Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK with plug-in keyboard and mouse

    Hi, Derek -
    ...the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink.
    Sounds like Spaces is being activated somehow. With the wired keyboard and mouse in use, select the Exposé & Spaces control pane in System Preferences, click the choice in that pane for Spaces. See what the settings are. There are some activation settings in that pane - by default, F8 activates it.
    It could be that the bluetooth keyboard has some stuck keys and is activating Spaces; or that the activation command has somehow been reset to something that the bluetooth mouse, or bluetooth itself, is triggering.

  • Magic Mouse - Replaced Batteries - Green light not on

    Hi,
    I had a message on my imac to say that the batteries in my magic mouse were at 70% so I have replaced the batteries with duracell ones. Now when I turn on the mouse I dont get  a green light, and the imac doesnt recognise the mouse.
    I have tried putting the old batteries back in but still the light doesn't come on.
    The iMAC is less than six months old.
    Thanks
    Pete

    Pete,
    Make sure the batteries are fresh and the the positive terminal of both batteries face the same direction, up.

  • Magic mouse draining batteries - no light no pointer

    My magic mouse stopped working after I inserted new batteries.  The mouse connects with bluetooth but no light comes on and no pointer can be seen.  I put new batteries with 63% and within 5 minutes they registered 24%.  What is the problem?  The mouse is about 18 months old.

    Is there obvious evidence of residue from previous leakage?
    If so, first try the very fine nail files made of sandpaper and then wipe with a damp, but not wet cloth.    Do not apply excessive water or use the item before it is thoroughly dry.
    You can also use a cotton bud dampened, but not soaked, with vinegar.   Again, finish with a dry cloth.
    Don't forget to wipe over the new batteries which may, themselves, have become contaminated by any bad contact.

  • WRT54G Router - All lights continuously flashing?

    This morning my WRT54G's lights (link/act, Full/col, 100) were continuously flashing on and off simultaneously and I'd lost all network connectivity.  I've not made any changes (firmware) to the router for about 1 year, and it's been working fine.  I've pulled the plug on the router and when the power's back on, the lights go out but still no connectivity.. after a while all the lights start flashing. I'm just wondering if I need to buy a new one
    Laurent

    Quite right! The old adapter says the output is 5v and I do have another lying around.. my router is up and running   thanks for the tip.
