Magic mouse looses connection frequently

batteries show good level (47%), mouse is close to my Imac (20cm / 8 inches), but it is still loosing connection a few times within 1-2 hours. This never ever happend before. No RF-equipment added to my office recently, So I'm running out of ideas ...
Any ideas?

Making it a favourite sometimes helps: System Preferences>Bluetooth, select the mouse on the left and then click on the 'cog' at the bottom and select 'show more info'. You should then get the option to make it a favourite.
Also, a tip I spotted on another forum was to insert a very thin piece of card or thick paper on top of the batteries and then put the cover on. Just a fractional increase in pressure holding the batteries slightly firmer apparently helps.

  • My magic mouse loose connection

    hi, my magic mouse loose connection every time i lift it up!
    i have a late 13 imac with all upgrades on.
    also new batteries on it ,not rechargeable.
    any idea?

    Sounds to me they are loose inside the compartment.   There are two possible causes.   A badly made mouse (very unlikely) or inferior quality batteries.   We generally find Apple, Energiser or Eneloop are the recommended ones; others, especially minor brands, can be that tiny bit too short and leave them liable to movement.

  • Magic Mouse loosing Connection

    My magic mouse looses connection with my iMac every few minuites to every few hours.  I have tried replacing the bateries several time.  The only way to make it reconnect is to put the computer to sleep and wake it back up a few times.  What can I do to stop this?

    Greetings,  I had the same problem after the original batteries "died". New batteries 100% charged  after 1-2 min mouse lost connection. Tried Setup of bluetooth mouse many times + new batteries - same result.
    Tried removal of com.apple.Bluetooth.plist - no difference.
    On all my batteries there are a date/manufacturing code stamped in ink under the negative pole . I removed the ink - scraped away with a screwdriver and installed the batteries again. The Magic Mouse is now connected all the time.  This challenge took 3 hrs to solve - hope it will save someone some frustration.

  • Magic mouse looses connection.

    My magic mouse keeps loosesing connection, and it's not batterys.

    Hi Patrick70
    I will leave you a very brief answer for now, rather an Apple support article. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3048
    Please report details on what you tried so far. Do consider reading the entire article at a comfortable pace so that you don't miss anyting relevant.
    I can offer that my magic mouse and wireless keyboard do on rare occassions lose connectivity but the frequency is vert low.
    Also, I would politely recommend that you run Apple Software Update from the Apple menu. I don't know if your system is all uptodate. I doubt this is the issue though.
    I know I haven't provided a lot of substance here but I hope the link I provided at the top is proves resourceful.

  • Mouse loosing connection

    I recently purchased a 27" iMac, which I love.
    However, I am having some serious mouse issues. It constantly looses connection and just stops working till it reconnects which is anywhere from 1min to 5mins.
    It's very annoying. What could be the problem? Is it something I can fix or is it maybe a defected mouse?
    Any advice is appreciated
    Thanks,
    Jon

    Depending your your point of view it could be considered "defective".  Problem is you are not alone.  There are many posts on the, er, deficiencies, of the MM.  Google "magic mouse looses connection" and look at More Like This section on the right.  Here's a 15-page thread on this topic in these forums:
    Magic Mouse Loses Connection
    Some of the problems appear to be a poor transmitter/receiver.  Others seem to be due to problems with the batteries used.  For example, different makes of batteries have slightly different lengths of the positive terminal (end with small "nib").  The tolerances are such that the slight length difference is enough to make the battery loose contact wth small movements of the batteries.  Some have found putting a small aluminum foil ball inside to take up the "slack".  Others have found different brands of batteries are less prone to the problem since they have larger positive terminals.
    I do recommend always keeping a (cheap) wired mouse as a backup.  Keyboard too if you use a BT keyboard.

  • Magic Mouse drops connection with two blinks; unable to reconnect

    My magic mouse drops connection frequently. It may drop connection at any time with no reason and goes off into two blinks. Then it's unable to be reconnected. I've tried many things, including turning the mouse off and on, turning Bluetooth off and on, unpairing the mouse and try to repair (unable to discover at this moment), but nothing works. After waiting for a long time it may get connected suddenly.
    I believe it is the computer's issue rather than the mouse. I have two Macs (MacBook Pro and iMac) and two Magic Mice, but the issue only happen to my MacBook Pro with either of the two mice.
    Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you!

    I really cannot see why those problems relate to only one of your machines though you don't say if you have reset the SMC on the MacBook Pro.  See ...
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
    Nor do you say if you have given the batteries a thorough check.  While this should not affect only one machine, Try removing them, clean the inside of the compartment and the battery terminals themselves.  If it is reasonably possible, replace the old batteries with new ones.

  • Magic mouse sudden connection loss

    My magic mouse loses connection suddenly. I have tried even changing batteries but the problem is not resolved. Please help

    Look at the threads in More Like This at the right.
    One general theory is that different makes of batteries have slightly different length positive terminals and loose connection.  Some find adding a small shim of aluminum foil to keep the batteries from moving works.  Others just a piece of paper to push down and serve the same purpose.
    Others sometimes have problems with interferance.

  • Magic mouse wont connect boot camp 4.0

    I have just installed a fresh copy of OS X Lion with Boot Camp 4.0 on a new iMac.  I have been unable to get the magic mouse to connect via bluetooth.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the driver with the same result.  I can see it when I add devices but connection never completes.
    Any advice?

    I figured this one out. =)
    right click the mouse in the add menu... then click properties. check the box in the menu that appears. click apply. connection should complete there-after.

  • My magic mouse loses connection during sleep

    My Magic mouse loses connection during sleep mode. I also get error message my external usb storage drive was disconnected improperly. I have to unplug and plug in drive generally, sometimes it is still present. For the mouse I generally turn it off and on and allow it to be found again.

    This is a late 2009 imac.

  • Magic mouse lose connection

    my magic mouse lose (bluetooth) connection no and then. It reconneccts in a minute or so.
    What's wrong?

    There's already a thread on this with almost the same title:
    Magic Mouse Loses Connection
    One idea (discussed in that thread) is that not all batteries are created equal in that the positive terminal varies in size among different brands and "flatter" ones are not making contact all the time.  One solution was to add a little ball of aluminum foil between the negative size (I assume) to take up the "slack".

  • HT2845 My magic mouse dropped connection and now won't pair with the mac.

    My magic mouse dropped connection and now won't pair with the mac. When I search for it, it finds the mouse but just won't connect. Any ideas?

  • Mighty Mouse looses connection with Mavericks ...

    Hello,
    last week I installed OSX 10.9 on my iMac i5 Mid. 2011 on a 2nd partition. At the 1st partition, I work with Snow Leopard.
    Since a few days I noticed, that my Mighty Mouse looses the connection to the iMac more frequently when I work with Mavericks. The batteries are at 60% and they both fits very well.
    If I reboot with OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, I'm able to work for hours, the connection is stably all the time. The mouse don't lost the connection.
    Has anyone an idea for this behavior?
    Thanks
    G. Hansen

    Well, that rules out wi-fi interference. Some people have reported that their Wi-fi causes Bluetooth devices to drop intermittently.
    I've got a Magic Mouse and it hasn't had any troubles with 10.9. My trackpad either and it's Bluetooth as well.
    Hopefully someone else will have more insight.

  • My Magic Mouse Loses Connection Every Single Minor Tap

    My Magic Mouse tends to lose its connection whenever I give it a tap on the table. I mean, it's normal right, when you lift the mouse a little bit and tap it to the surface to give the pointer a little more distance like browsing the web or playing a computer game. My Magic Mouse seems to lose its connection everytime it gets a minor tap on the table and no, I don't slam it hard.
    It's not a battery problem since I change them frequently so I'm guessing it's either the hardware problem or the Bluetooth problem. Any idea what's causing this?

    Actually I believe it is a battery problem.  Specifically, not all batteries are created equally and vary from brand to brand so with the tolerances as tight as they apparently are in (or are not) in the MM the positive terminal does not always make contact with the MM terminal.
    Based on other posts in these forums the positive terminal varies slightly among brands.  Some are higher than others.  It's a minor amount but it appears to be enough.
    I've seen this with my neighbor's MM.  Brand new batteries (forget the brand at the moment) yet I could shake the MM and have it make and break contact.  On the other hand I don't have the problem with my Sayno Eneloop rechargeables.
    You might try inserting a small piece of paper or aluminum foil to take up the gap.
    Another possibility is that the contacts are corroded so try to clean them a little.
