Magic mouse loses connection with iMac

My brand new imac came with magic mouse. I immediately updated to mountain lion. Magic mouse occasionally drops connection and then reconnects after some time. During the time of disconnection I am unable to do any thing. Please tell me what to do.

Sound like my issue with the magic mouse. I notice the indicater green light was off when i lost lost my connection. Once I reinstalled the batteries the light would glow and my connection was temportarly restored. After losing my connection again; I reseated the batteries but I added a small cushion of folded paper. I made sure my cushion wasn't too thick so to allow for the battery cover. After my small mofication my mouse has not lost connection for over several weeks.

  • Magic mouse loses connection with laptop unless laptop connected to charger

    So, I've been seeing people have various problems with the Magic Mouse in Lion, but I haven't seen anyone with the exact problem as me. I lodged it as a bug with Apple, but I wondered if anyone has the same problem and maybe a solution.
    I have an original MacBookAir and a Magic Mouse. Since upgrading to Lion, the Magic Mouse will only stay steadily connected to the laptop if I have the laptop plugged in and on the mains charger. If I am running the laptop on battery, the mouse disconnects and becomes unusable.

    There are some known problems which other devices on the 2.4Ghz can affect. Here's the apple support article on the subject:

  • 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.

    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".

  • 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.

  • 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 Loses Connection

    My Magic Mouse keeps losing its connection. Has any one else had this happen to them. I reapplied the update and had gone through the set again but the connection repeatedly is lost. Luckily I still have my wired mouse plugged in or my IMAC would be useless.

    I was having the same problem... getting a real mouse with a cord fixed the problem instantly... the magic mouse is without question the worst thing to come out of apple since the mighty mouse... the connection goes in and out all day long... probably spent 10 minutes out of every hour waiting for lost connections... when it does work, you feel as though you have to press twice as hard, and hold on for dear life to keep the mouse working... I see the might mouse like dating the best looking girl in college even though she's as dumb as a fence post... it takes a long time to get past her looks, but once you do and dump her for something good looking and brighter, your life is a thousand times better... the amount of trouble a dumb girlfriend or rotten mouse provides isn't worth hanging it... avoid the magic mouse at all costs... it's not worth the trouble... it should be noted i lost the connection TWICE writing this post...

  • Magic mouse losing connection with thunderbolts jack plugged

    the mouse loses its connection rigth away whenever the thunderbolt at the back of the iMac is plugged. anyone else having the same problem?

    Hello Emma:
    Making a BT device a favorite (or favourite ) is one of my standard suggestions for an occasional loss of connectivity.
    Try trashing a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist - found in the Macintosh HD), restart, and then make the device a favorite (add to favorite option).

  • Magic Mouse Not working with iMac. EXTREME lag.

    Here's a link to video of whats happening - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOogRQu93g0
    The whole time I was just moving it around in a circular motion. Batteries = 97% I just got my logicboard repaired on my iMac G5 and this has been happening ever since

    Try unpairing it. Do you have another mouse that you can use to see if it is the mouse, rather than the computer? If the second mouse works properly, try rep-pairing Magic Mouse.

  • Magic Mouse Issue (came with iMac 27")

    I've noticed today that the 'swipe' gesture feature stopped working. A restart fixed it but was wondering if there is a fix for this. Don't want this happening again...

    Do a search of this forum, Just look down this page for two or three other posts with the same theme. Many folks report the issue. Many folks report different ways of solving it for themselves.
    I have had the MM for three weeks now without one issue. I am even experimenting with BetterTouchTool for added utility of my MM.

  • 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 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.
    cheers t
