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 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 ...

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 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.

thv2011,
There are some known problems which other devices on the 2.4Ghz can affect. Here's the apple support article on the subject:

Magic Mouse Losing Connection When Slightly Knocked

I've had this particular mouse for just over a year and in the last 2 weeks it's started to lose the connection when it's knocked however slightly on the table - for example when repositioning the mouse when moving something between 2 screens.
I've tried all the usual fixes, new batteries, different batteries, trashing the mouse preferences (as suggested here) and making the mouse a BT favourite, but as soon as it even remotely gets knocked, it disconnects.
Really frustrating, have gone back to a cable mouse for now but does anyone have any ideas? Is it a genuine fault I can get sorted under my warranty?

OK I spent A solid day playing with this and found that there are many correct"ish" answers here, but for the most part I have found that the physical tolerances of the Apple magic mouse have caused all of my problems.
THe info about plists and resetting pram are all kind of obvious choices and may work for many people becasue the mouse screws up in that way on occasion.
For the rest of us, check my earlier post about tolerances. THe battery end plate is one problem. The inserted card thing by Ken Evans is one piece of the puzzle. However for me the biggest piece of the puzzle is the tolerances of the battery plate cover in general.
The piece that fell into place a day ago ( a few hours afte my last post) is as follows:
Look closely at the plate on the bottom of the mouse - notice how thin it is. Notice how closely it touches the on off switch. Notice that if the plate is tweaked even a little bit it twiddles the on off swich breaking connection. Notice how you use the mouse a- do you lift it and put it down and perhaps press on the plate etc.
Notice if you press and push and drop mouse etc - anything that twiddles the plate will nail that switch.
For me I found that the plate was tweaked such that the middle of the plate pressed harder against the batteries than the ends did. This effectively "shortened" the length of the plate by a smidge which was just enough to constantly tweak the on off switch - ie put pressure on it with any major movements of the mouse - especially lifting it and putting it down when i ran to the end of my pad.
I re-tweaked the plate in the opposite direction ( not for the klutz- this plate will buckle faster than a teenager with a false id). if you feel handy you can tweak it by springing it lightly against a pencil but I am not buying anyone a new plate if you bend it. I also took a small swiss rat-tail file and filed out the switch hole a bit more - to make it a bit "longer" and hence not rub against the plate
Result is that i went from a lost connection about every minute to no lost connections for the last day. For me the resetting of the pram and dumping the plist file did not help - hence i looked further.

Magic mouse losing connection

Hello
I have a problem with occasional loss of connection with my magic mouse. having read the threads already posted on this subject, I have tried to set up the mouse as a favourite within system preferences/bluetooth. however, i can't see how to set it as a favourite....i have clicked on the little gear sign and selected 'more info', which is then displayed, but i cannot change 'favourite...no' to yes.
i'm sure it's something simple i'm missing, but i just can't see how to change it!
cheers

Magic Mouse losing connection and battery drains

I found a "fix" for both issues by removing the battery cover and leaving it off.....batteries stay put without issue, too.
I no longer have battery drain (it has been a few months using same alkaline batteries) and I do not lose my connection with my Mac Mini anymore.
Once in a while, when I first turn on my computer and mouse I have to tap on the batteries to get initial connection but that happens only a couple times a month. Compared to my previous frustration with connection issues and constant changing batteries....this simple "fix" has been wonderful.

Nothing fancy....I am using Duracel. The only times I have had to fiddle/tap a bit with batteries has been when I have moved mouse to new location.....(picked mouse up and plopped it down)...normally, I don't to do a thing with them. Certainly agree, the batteries are more exposed to dirt but my mouse is on a mousepad and in a clean dry area on my desk so not a problem to date.
It would be interesting if you or others try this and it works for everyone? If so, then the battery cover must have a design flaw. I am not going to try and figure it out as I a happy camper with my adjustment. Sure beats all the battery replacing and interruptions to connection I had previously. Good luck with your mouse!

Magic Mouse Losing Connection When Sleeping

My magic mouse loses its connection when my iMAC goes to sleep. I have the preferences setup to allow my iMAC to be awakened by bluetooth devices... Any suggestions?

Let me add, that this happens when the machine is asleep and all user are logged out... I have to use the wired key board to wake the machine up and then I can log in at the user log in prompt.

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 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 behaves erratically with intermittent problems - slows down, right click doesn't work, disconnects for a few seconds then reconnects. Anyone suggest what I could do to fix this?

I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.

On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

Mouse losing connection

My mouse is losing connection with my computer on a regular basis, and regaining it after around 1-2 minutes. The problem is happening every day, sometimes up to 5 times, during which time the mouse is completely unresponsive. I've tried rebooting, turning the mouse on and off, changing the batteries but nothing seems to work. Can anyone help, as I've never had this problem with wireless mice before?

Hello:
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC. It is also possible that the mouse is failing.

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".
