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.

  • Magic Charger  Mobee for Magic Mouse doesn't work with Mac OS X lion Mountain

    The Magic Charger  Mobee for Magic Mouse  Apple
    with Mac OS X lion Mountain
    makes connections overflows and stops the system work.
    What could I do, other that disconnect Magic Charger?

    When you say you cannot add the printer, with the Add Printer pane open, is the 6250 visible in the Default Add Printer view? If no then it could be the USB cable at fault and I suggest you try another cable.
    If the printer is visible but the Mac fails to locate a driver when you select it then you may have to trash the contents of the BJPrinters folder (HD > Library > Printers > Canon) and then run the iX6250 driver installer again.

  • Magic Charger for the Magic Mouse doesn´t work

    Hi,
    I´ve recently did my first purchase on the apple store,
    I´ve bought the magic charger from mobee for the Magic Mouse,
    which has been working all good with the normal batteries,
    but since I´ve install the new magic charger batteries I just can´t make
    work the magic mouse, I´ve plug the magic charge into a usb from the iMac 24"
    I´ve wait almost a day so tha the Magic Mouse charge the batteries than
    when I switch on the Magic Mouse doesn´t work, the green light from Magic Mouse stands off,
    so obviously the bluetooth from iMac 24" doesn´t recognize Magic Mouse,
    ¿Any suggestion?
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi Allan Jones,
    I don´t know under with authority you´ve answered this thread,
    but and don´t get me wrong, your message was completely worthless.
    Since I did a purchase on the apple store, the apple store should answer
    for every inconvenient with the product than I did purchase, and as Apple
    is a big multinational who cares for his customers, they did so Apple store sended
    special transport to my home to get the malfunctional Magic Charger and than
    they send me a new one which seems would work fine.
    Thank you very much in advance.

  • SessionManager doesn't work with new xerceimpl.jar?

    Hi,
    Does anybody know the solution to the problem below?
    The toplink sessionmanager, which loads sessions.xml for database session pooling, doesn't work with new xerce parser(xerceimpl.jar). It is tieing to old xerces.jar parser, which has been upgraded to have more functions.
    Thank you in advance.
    Praveen

    Hi Raanan,
    It works with old xerces.jar. But in-order to get new functions from new xerces jars from apache, I got xml-apis.jar, xercesImp.jar. They got modified from old ones. So this is breaking toplink sessions.xml load to work.
    Did you face this problem?
    Thanks

  • My magic mouse does not work with OS X Mountain Lion?

    My magic mouse does not work the direction of vertical displacement with the update OS X Mountain Lion?

    You are correct that you cannot install version 5.x of the AirPort Utility on OS X Mountain Lion. However, once installed it will run just fine. One workaround is to extract the utility directly from the disk image (.dmg) file.
    Here are the basic steps to install version 5.6 under Mountain Lion using CharlesSoft's Pacifist:
    If you haven't already download the AirPort Utility disk image file directly from Apple Support Download
    Place the resultant AirPortUtility56.dmg file onto your Mac's Desktop.
    Run Pacifist.
    Click on the Open Package option. Find the disk image file that you just placed on your desktop, and then, click on Open.
    The utility is located as follows: Contents of AirPortUtility56.dmg > Contents of AirPortUtility56.pkg > Contents of AirPortUtility56Lion.pkg > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6.app
    Drag AirPort Utility 5.6.app to your Mac's /Applications/Utilities folder.
    You can now run the AirPort Utility from the Utilities folder.

  • Magic Mouse doesn't work as it should

    Hello everybody,
    after reading tons of docs and forums without finding a solution I tell my problem to you:
    some days ago I got myself a Magic Mouse. Aiming to use it with my Macbook Air running Lion (all updates installed) I paired it but I only got a very basic menu. No scrolling options, the only things I can adjust is the double click and the pointers speed. The sexiest mouse in the unverse behaves like something I bought at the radio shack for 2,50 €. Then I paired this mouse with my Mac mini (Snow Leo, all updates) and everything worked well. Going back to my MB Air I recognized that the mouse had been renamed by my Mini, but nothing else happened. I just can't get it running the way it should. I read some tons of docs and did the following:
    - removed the batteries
    - did a pvram reset
    - removed the non-apple kernel extensions
    - erased com.apple.bluetooth.plist and lockfile
    - installed the MacOSComboUpdate several times
    - checked my MBA for apps like USB overdrive and uninstalled anything
    Nothing helped.
    Before I go berserk, has anybody any suggestion how to proceed now?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello X423424X,
    thanks for your hints. Unpairing the mouse from the MM at least gave it back its old name. I did the smc reset - at least I pressed the right keys, but there was no feedback about it - but the result is still the same. Uninstalling Onyx, Deeper, Fink and CoolTerm was useless too. I installed MagicPrefs today and it recognized the mouse as a magic mouse, I can configure it there, but the functionality still isn't there . All I get is this:
    I think I'll continue uninstalling. Maybe I find out that keynote smashes my system.

  • MacPro eSata Port/Card doesn't work with new Hard Disk

    I just bought 4 x 3TB Hard Disc http://tinyurl.com/d2rglvn (specs of disc)
    Which I put in Macally Enclosures to work on my Barracuda internal Hard Drive externally http://tinyurl.com/clg8yjo
    I already have like 5 x 1,5 TB that works perfectly well with eSata connections (with exact same enclosures)
    **My problem is that my 4 new Hard Discs works really fine with my Mac Pro but only with the USB connections but won't work with the eSata Connection. I tried it on a MacBook Pro with an ATA to eSata adaptor and it works perfectly fine (So my discs are not the problem)  **
    I am working on a Mac Pro (bought in 2007) - Mac OSX 10,6,8 and this is (I think) the card where I put the eSata :
    PCI Card :
    pci1095,3132:
      Type:    Other Mass Storage Controller
      Driver Installed:    Yes
      MSI:    No
      Bus:    PCI

      Link Width:    x1
      Link Speed:    2.5 GT/s
    I am kind of new using Mac and its support so what want to know is :
    Do I need to update my PCI Card ? If yes how can I do that ?
    If not, what can I do to make my disc work ?
    My disks are eSata III (6GB/s) is it compatible with my  Mac Pro ?
    Thank you Very Much for your time

    Difference between the disk that works in eSata and those that doesnt is this....
    Works : ** 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5"
    Doesn't Work : **3TB, SATA III (6Gb/s), 3.5", 7200RPM, 64MB
    it is probably the problem but i don't know what to do to fix it !

  • Ethernet card doesn't work with new arch install?

    Hi guys,
    so this is kinda my first post, not that I'm new to arch i just never had an issue i couldn't figure out on my own... But i love arch i have been using it for about a year now and have had no serious problems except for this. I have had arch running on an older dell vostro 200 desktop before i reinstalled with a vary similar issue except that the fix i came up with doesn't work anymore. I will tell you about the first issue first because i ALMOST posted on here about it originally but i figured out a way to make it work even though it was a hassle.
    After cold/rebooting my computer the network card doesn't work at all. lspci reported that the kernel module e1000e was the correct one (i have verified this) and that the kernel has loaded it, i verified that with dmesg but still it wouldn't work. After much much anguish and hairpulling, I realized that it had to have something to do with the module so i tried forcing it to reload with rmmod e1000e and modprobe e1000e and it still wouldn't work until i physically unpluged the ethernet cord and pluged it back in until the light on the NIC turned on. After that everything works as normal i could even unplug and plug it back in with no problems. So eventually i wrote a script that did this for me (except for the uplugging and plugging part)  and i used that when i cold/rebooted.
    But now i have the exact same issue after reinstalling arch to the T except for the fact that the (crazy) fix i came up with doesn't work now. I used my "fix" after booting from the arch cd and it worked just like it always has. And now after rebooting into my fresh system the fix doesn't work anymore. So now i'm back where i was to begin with but i have no idea what to try next. I didn't do anything particularly different during installation except i added a udev rule for the e1000e module just to see if somehow that would fix the problem... it didnt and i have since deleted that (to see if it was the problem). The only other thing that is different is the root and home are now btrfs partitions instead of ext4.
    I have booted several other live cds and dvds (diferent distros) including arch derivatives such as manjaro and they all worked just fine, using the same kernel module (e1000e).  I'm not sure what that could mean but i know that it means there is a fix for this some way or another. I am going to hook up a wifi adapter and connect that computer to the internet to put some more information up if it's needed (asked for) but for now  lspci -vnn | grep -i -A 10 net reports

  • Wireless Music doesn't work with new software

    Hello-
    I can't get my wireless music to work after I update the software to the latest version. The only one that will work is when I install it from the CD. But, I would like to use the most recent version of the software. As soon as I update, the Media Server won't launch on my computer. I am using a linksys WRT54G wireless router. If I check DHCP clients, the wireless music receiver is successfully getting an IP address. I have tried all of the things that linksys suggested (disable WEP, firewall, broadcast SSID, etc...) to no avail. Has anyone gotten the latest media server software to work with WRT54G? I have tried it on both my XP and W2K machine, with the same results (doesn't work).
    Thanks,
    Rich

    <SPAN>Hi Jeremy
    <SPAN>I have the similar problem, I've installed the software on my desktop, no error messages (apart from the certificate) and everything seems to be fine. After about 2 minutes the message appears that the network is not ready and consequently the media server is not running.
    <SPAN>Without the server running I can't setup the Network and the entire system is not working. I could ping it but that was about it.
    <SPAN>I've reset my router, renamed the SSID, tried with and without WEP, MAC, without firewall, opened a new account on my desktop with admin rights installed the software again into a new folder - result still not working, same error message.
    <SPAN>To make really bad, I installed it on my laptop, same procedure and it works fine! So it seem that it has nothing to do with my wireless devices or configurations, there must be a problem while setting up the software on my desktop.
    <SPAN>I really would appreciate your help a lot!
    <SPAN>
    <SPAN>Cheers

  • Logitech wireless mouse doesn't work with Linux 3.10

    When I rebooted after updating to the 3.10 kernel my mouse stopped working. The cursor is displayed but it doesn't move. I downgraded back to 3.9.9-1 and it works fine again. As far as I could see it was detecting it in the dmesg output, so I'm not sure of the cause (maybe just a regression in the driver). I've never had any problems with this mouse before.
    The mouse is a Logitech M515 connected wirelessly with a Logitech Unifying receiver.
    This is the dmesg line (on 3.9.9):
    logitech-djreceiver 0003:046D:C52B.0003: hiddev0,hidraw0: USB HID v1.11 Device [Logitech USB Receiver] on usb-0000:00:14.0-2/input2

    Mine works fine with Logitech Anywhere MX, never noticed any problems. Is this still an issue?
    According to the bug report, Logitech Anywhere MX should be broken I guess. If you need any info dumped to figure out why it's working for some, tell me what you need.
    Kernel:

    ( I have a keyboard attached to the same unifying receiver. Paired them up using a windows laptop. Maybe that's the difference? I guess pairing hardware to the receiver using logitech software could theoretically mess with... uhm... magical internal mapping stuff that I have no idea how it works? Ok, I'll stop guessing making things up now ,  good luck with the bug :3 )

  • 17" Cinema Display doesn't work with new MacBook Pro

    I have used a 17" Cinema Display with a MacBook Pro without problems for the last year. I just bought a new MacBook Pro and a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter. Hooked it up and no display. Reconnected to my olf MBP without the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter and it still works great. Any thoughts?

    I have the same machine and the same drive (for about 6 months) they work fine.
    The first suspect is the internal SATA cable, replace it.

    I have been searching constantly for several days, and I have not been able to find a solution.
    I have been using a 32" Vizio HDTV as a monitor for my 2008 macbook pro via DVI to HDMI for over a year now. Recently, we purchased a new 39" Sanyo HDTV for out living room, and the screen continuasly flashes blue when I try to connect my laptop to the tv. I have also tested my computer on a 42" Sony TV, and it also works fine on that TV.
    I am also able to run windows through bootcamp on every TV mentioned above except the Sanyo TV lags a lot in windows. Why can't I get my laptop to display properly on the Sanyo TV, (blue flashing in OSX and lagging in Windows 7)?
    Should I try buying a DVI to Component/Composite cable? The Sanyo doesn't have a VGA port, but should I also try going from DVI to VGA to Component? The TV has no option for "game mode" or "image processing". I am lost of what to do.
