Magic mouse lost at startup, WiFi dropping

Hello,
since Lion is running nearly each time I wake my iMAC from sleep, the magic mouse is lost and I need to completely reboot.
Yes, I did follow all tipps (delete and install magic mouse new,...). No change.
Additionally the WiFi-connection dropps every few minutes. And most often reconnects when switched off and on again.
And again: yes, I reinstalled the connection totally, no change.
These problems newer occured with SL. So I will not change anything on the router for the WiFi-problem.
I think Apple need to solve these problems asap, because I read about losts of people having the same sincere problems, because it hinders working...
When will there be a solution?

You are welcome. Those resets frequently fix odd problems.

Magic Mouse lost scrolling function-no evidence of USB overdrive installed

My magic mouse lost its scolling function after my son's friend used his own USB mouse for gaming on my iMac. I've read the discussion forums and thought the problem could be a conflict w/USB overdrive but there's no evidence of it in my utilities folder:
Here are the current system preferences for the mouse, which appear to me to be in working order (am I missing something?):
and
And info from my system profiler:
Have restarted ad infinitum after making minor adjustments: changing batteries, re-paring the mouse, and running software update. Any other suggestions would be welcome--- other than throtteling the little reprobate who plugged his usb mouse into my imac w/o asking Let me know if you need additional system information, too, and I'll post it ASAP.
Thanks-Andrew

Thanks Captfred, but unfortunately the problem still persists. It was checked so I tried it a few different ways, too.
-Unchecked it then rechecked
-Unchecked it then rechecked then restarted
-Unchecked it then restarted then rechecked
-Unchecked it then restarted then rechecked then restarted again...
-Said a few naughty words then restarted...
-Swore on the grave of Steve Jobs that I'd stand in line for the iPhone 5 then restarted...
-Did the hokie pokie then restarted...
Nada.
What an odd bug. You think I need I reinstall the OS?

Magic Mouse lost multi touch?

Bluetooth connection is fine (iMac OSx 10.6.8 and most current wireless mouse software) but anyone know why I lost multi touch function?
That's the magic!!

thats not it. Magic mouse in Lion went dead, AND so did ALL Multi-touch gestures on my trackpad.
Last time I ran into this, I re-booted (NO PREFERENCES CHANGED) and the system worked fine. This time, I ran the "Magic Perfs" (freeware to customize Magic Mouse preferences...) this is software related I feel.
I did SOMETHING and POW - Multi-touch gestures gone... any one else running into this?

Magic mouse lost connection all the time

I have an iMac for 2 years, my magic mouse always lost the connection and the battery was always fine. I thought that was normal, and then I talked with some friends and they told me that this problems did not happen with them.
So, how could I fix it?
Thanks!

UPDATE and additional info: This problem is still occurring.
Apply have been completely unhelpful so far, after a second phone call, I was just told (again) to restart my MBP, unpair and repair my mouse, and insert fresh batteries. I've also done the SMC and PRAM resets several times.
I'm using my MBP in clamshell mode connected to a BenQ GL2460 monitor. Running my MBP slightly ajar seems to temporarily help with he mouse lagginess but the problem soon reoccurs.
I've tested my mouse on a friends earlier model non updated MBP and the mouse works fine.
I went out a bought a Microsoft USB mouse and the same lagginess happens with it, albeit a lot worse.
I'm currently running both mice connected via bluetooth, which actually seems to be minimising the magic mouse lagginess, but the Microsoft mouse is still very laggy. So I wonder what having two mice connected simultaneously is doing?

Best way to connect Magic Mouse on computer startup?

The Magic Mouse (which I love) is my first USB mouse. I had hoped that when shutting down my Mac I could just leave the mouse to go to sleep, and that it would connect automatically when starting up the computer again. But it won't reconnect until I turn the mouse's switch off, then on again.
Is there a way to ensure that the mouse reconnects automatically, without toggling its switch? Or, is it best just to turn off the mouse when shutting down the computer?

Once your MM is paired you should not have to pair it again. This means that if you shut off the computer or the mouse (for example when changing batteries) after a few moments your computer will discover it and you can begin working.
If it isn't working this way try re-pairing it and then if that doesn't seem to work do a SMC and PRAM reset by following these instructions:
1. Turn off your iMac and unplug everything from it for 30 seconds.
2. Plug in the power cord, keyboard and mouse only.
3. Press the power button and immediately hold down the Option, Command, P & R keys until you hear the second gong then release the keys. Your machine will start up normally, then check for the issues you are having.

Magic Mouse lost after log out on Yosemite

If I set my Mac Mini (Yosemite 10.10.2) to logout after it goes to sleep for a while, when I wake it up, I cannot use my Magic Mouse to click on the user in order to log in. Instead I have to plug in my usb mouse. Once I log in, the mouse makes up and goes to work. Any suggestions--other than simply disabling the password protection? That's okay at home, but not in my office.

Connection to Magic Mouse lost on Restart

Every time I do a Restart on my G5 iMac I lose the Bluetooth connection to the Magic Mouse. Sometimes it reconnects quickly, but other times it doesn't. I've had to power the iMac completely off a few times to get it to reconnect. Once it's reconnected I never have any problems until the next Restart. Any ideas?

I would add the Magic Mouse to bluetooth favorites. I use Snow Leopard but I think the process is the same for Leopard.
Go to System Preferences > Bluetooth > Highlight the Mouse on the left > click the gear icon below the list > check "show more information" if not already checked. > return to the gear icon and select "add to favorites".
That should help with a speedy reconnect.

Magic Mouse has lost all 'touch capability' after Time Machine restore

Hi all,
Yesterday I did a system restore to my 17' MPB on Snow Leopard, once restored my Magic Mouse lost all scroll and swipe functionality.
I've searched older threads and seen a suggestion about deleteing a systempreferences file which I did but it did not work.
Any other suggestions please? My Mac is fully updated software wise and this is quite fustrating given the Mouse is only 2 weeks old!
Thanks!

Hi again:
I don't want to generalize as some +"clean up"+ things can actually slow a system. If the system is slow everywhere, it could be lack of HD space (you should have 10-15% free at all times), memory, or many other things.
I have a program called "Cocktail" which I rarely use (troubleshooting only), but does have some powerful GUI links to all sorts of things. However, I suggest people use this sort of software carefully as one can do damage.
I run a +"plain vanilla"+ system and do not have problems (superstitiously touching wood).
Unless you routinely use/change very large files, OS X takes care of "defragging" automatically.
I'd prefer to never have to format and start over.
As I said, I have NEVER erased and installed an OS X system to address system issues. I have restored to test both my cloning software and Time Machine.
Macs running OS X perform system maintenance processes automatically in the background (unlike Windows, as I am sure you know).

Bootcamp 3.3 magic mouse scrolling gone

Hi, apple software update installed bootcamp 3.3 and my magic mouse lost vertical scrolling. it is also alot more sensitive (pointer speed).

Hi, apple software update installed bootcamp 3.3 and my magic mouse lost vertical scrolling. it is also alot more sensitive (pointer speed).

Magic Mouse, Trackpad, Keyboards, etc.

Upon starting up my new iMac for the first time on St. Patrick's Day, I tried an experiment.
I used both the standard Apple Bluetooth keyboard and mouse (they were temperamental during the Setup Assistant process) and an older Apple USB Extended Keyboard (the old, white kind) and also a Kenington USB mouse.
The old white Apple keyboard seemed to work okay.
The Kensington USB mouse (a Pocket Mouse Pro, model #72116) did not. It would not click any buttons in Setup Assistant. Pointing was okay, but left-clicking on this mouse simply did not work. This baffled me. It also raised some questions:
1: If something happened to the standard factory-issue Apple Bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse (lost, stolen, damaged, out of batteries, etc.), can the iMac function on USB keyboards and mice? If so, why didn't the Kensington mouse work?
2: Is it possible to use both an Apple Magic Mouse and an Apple Trackpad with an iMac, both at the same time?
3: Is it possible to use a USB Apple keyboard (or other, third-party USB keyboard) and an Apple Magic Mouse and/or Trackpad on an iMac at the same time?
4: If my IMac and its factory-issue Bluetooth keyobard and mouse are in use, can I connect a USB Wacom drawing tablet to the iMac? Will there be a conflict? (I have an old Wacom Graphire3 4x5 tablet)
NOTE: I have not re-connected the USB keyboard or mouse to the iMac during normal (post-Setup Assistant) operations.

Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Probably, but I am not familiar with tablets.

Magic Mouse loses scrolling ability after sleep

Hi,
I'm on a Mac Pro and got a new Magic Mouse which I really love. First I experienced the BT connectivity problems which many people have on their Mac Pro's which I tried to solve via the tiny Belkin external BT dongle offered in the Apple store.
Now the cursor runs smoothly and I don't have any connectivity problems, BUT after waking the computer from sleep mode, the Magic Mouse lost the scrolling ability. It clicks properly, but I can't scroll.
Everything is fine after restarting the computer.
Searching the net, I found that other users using that dongle don't have the same problem, so what's wrong here? Any ideas? I'm thankful for every hint!

Just want to give an update to my saga.
I have made many calls tonight only to wait to no avail. My last call took 35 min to get thru. After explaining my issues and findings to him in detail, he asked me to do the typical first defense steps. Shut down, and then remove the AC cord. Press the power button 10 sec to "fully discharge any residual power". Then restart. I am all too aware that when Mac goes into sleep (very similar to MS PC's suspend stages) there are different degree of sleep. If I wake it up too soon, the symptoms do not occur. While on the call, we did the sleep and resume twice. Each time I waited about 2 minutes, thinking it is enough for the system to go into deep sleep. In both tries, the mouse did not loss the scroll functions. Thinking the issue may be resolve - though I did have some misgiving about it, I let him go.
I later went back and do a better testing, by let the system stay longer in sleep before waking it. I waited may be 4 to 5 minutes. Sure enough both the mouse and KB failed - both reverted to what seems some sort of basic mode. I have the BT status pane open and so I can monitor what it does. Yes, given enough time eventually the OS reports lost of mouse connection. Then also reports lost of KB connection. Yet, in actuality both the KB and magic mouse still works in their respective basic functions.
It appears that the host BT controller after entering what I infer as deep sleep, it is unable to reconfigure both the KB and mouse to their designed full functions upon resume from sleep. It however, able to reconfigure them for basic functions so the user is not left dead in the water.
During my call, I ask the CSR what is the next step if the issues are not resolved. He mentioned deleting some sort of BT file somewhere.

Magic Mouse and MBP 15" i7

Hello,
On two occasions now my magic mouse lost connection with blue tooth, once while operating the computer and this morning when I booted up there was no mouse connection. Anyone experience this issue? Advice and suggestions welcomed. Thanks!
Jaco

One thing you can try is to set the mouse as a bluetooth favorite in System Preferences > bluetooth > highlight the mouse > click the gear icon below the list > click "show more information" if not already > click the gear icon again select "add to bluetooth favorites".

IMac G5 iSight and the new Magic Mouse - WiFi dropping out.

The G5 with iSight seems to be unique amongst Apple computers, in that it shares the WiFi with the Bluetooth on a single compound card. I have not tested this out completely but it certainly seems to be the case that the Magic Mouse when left, having finished a session on the iMac, will after a few hours 'power down'. When it does so, sharing the WiFi, it will disable the wireless communication. I can find no known settings to avoid this from happening.
If I had dropped my iMac into sleep mode and woken it with a click of the mouse, all would be fine, however with my G5 downloading a file in the background, to come back and find the wireless has 'dropped out' is disconcerting to say the least.
Usually the WiFi can be re-established by turning it off and on again, then re finding my router (a TC in the other room) and all is well again for another 'period of time', which I can only guesstimate to be a couple of hours. However occasionally I will have to 'Restart' the iMac to get back to a working system. This is something I only ever really have to do with my work PC; I have NEVER had to do this on the iMac before. This is a quaint but annoying Windows thing and should not occur on a Mac. (This last phrase is slightly tongue in cheek!).
The WiFi link to my work PC via the TC is never compromised, which pointed the finger to the new magic mouse. I run the last version of Leopard for the PPC processors, 10.5.8 and have loaded the magic mouse driver software.
Has anyone else seen this happen?
Has anyone else got a solution, other than not using the Magic Mouse?

I did not see resetting PRAM mentioned yet, so if not done already, do that
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
plus this procedure to reset SMU (power management)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1767
Be sure to follow it precisely. When you reconnect the power cord, if you are using a crowded or old power strip, connect it directly to a wall outlet for this test. Power it up with nothing connected except power cord and once it starts up, connect only your keyboard/mouse (no other USB/FireWire peripherals). Try using it that way to see if the problem still recurs.
The only other suggestion I have is, if you have a external FireWire drive that you can erase (or create a small partition on), install a fresh Leopard installation on it. Start up from it and see if this problem still recurs.
Alternately, back up your data, erase (re-partition and reformat) the interal drive, and reinstall Leopard on the internal drive, then give it a try. If you clone (using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper) to an external FireWire drive as your backup, you can still boot from your current installation (on the external drive). If the fresh installation test does NOT work, you can clone your clone back to the internal drive. If it does work with a fresh installation, you can keep using it and transfer just your user data back from the clone.

Bluetooth drops connection with Magic Mouse

Quite often the connection between my Macbook Pro (15" retina) drops connection with my Magic Mouse. The drop varies from heavily lagging to full disconnect. Sometimes it works just reconnecting, but other times it won't connect at all.
Lately I've discovered that disabling WiFi makes the Magic Mouse connect immediately. Given that many people seem to have issues with WiFi when bluetooth is enabled, I suspects that there are some issues with to coherence of the two technologies. I know that both of the tech uses the same bandwith (2,4 GHz), just separated by what channel they use.
My issue started after installing Yosemite, first beta and now final release, so it looks to me as a software issue.
Anyone else with the same problem that might have more insight or maybe even a respons from Apple support?

Make the device a favorite.

Magic Mouse single click double clicks and drops dragged images

Last few weeks my Magic Mouse has started behaving strangely. When selecting something with a single click the mouse seems to double click and open the item instead of just selecting it. Very frustrating. When dragging anything across the screen it always drops the item halfway there.
What is going on? Software? Hardware? I have no 3rd party software installed and have tried various double click speeds with the same result.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

A lot of people have encountered this, Tom, myself included (see discussion here for instance: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11547453&#11547453).
It appears to be a bug in the OS. Annoying, but until Apple fix the problem, it's something we're unfortunately going to have to live with. Sorry I can't help you further.
