Magic mouse needs restart to connect

iMac with 10.7.5.   Magic mouse loses bluetooth connection after sleep. All indicators show that the mouse is still connected. Nothing I do will make it respond (connect)  until I do a restart of the computer, then it's good till the next sleep.  Good batteries, good contacts for batteries. 
This started suddenly.  The mouse has been good for over a year.

It appears iTunes 8.0.1.11 uses the pc's time when it sync's... I would look at the time settings on the computer.
Is the wi-fi that your connecting to your's ? or one that you always use. If so I would say something is wrong with the ipod.
I hide my wi-fi's SSid and use wap, and every time I turn on my ipod it connects to my wireless.

  • Magic Mouse randomly can not connect on startup

    I'm hoping someone might be able to offer some advice. It seems to be something that has developed since lion where on startup of my mac the magic mouse on occassion will not be able to connect and iget the bluetooth window stating that no magic mouse or trackpad was found. My batteries are good, my desk is pretty clear and is no different to my setup since owning my magic mouse. There just doesn't seem to be any pattern to when it can find it and when it can't. Sometimes it will happen more frequently, obviously over the period of a few months it has been happening often which has led me to write.
    The process i have to go through to connect is to flick the switch on the underside of the mouse and then it connects and then i have no issues with the mouse during the use of my mac..
    Hope someone can help.

    Hello:
    No apology needed, I assume things at times.....
    Reset the PRAM like this:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh26871.html
    Reset the SMC (I am assuming an Intel-based Mac) like this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Make the device a favorite like this:
    Go to system preferences>bluetooth.  Highlight the device.  If the sifdebar is not detailed, click on the little gear and then "show more info."  Then click on the gear and make the device a favorite.

  • Update 10.8.1 and my magic mouse will not stay connected

    I have just updated both my MacBook Pro 17" and my iMac to Mountain Lion 10.8.1.
    Almost immediately, my Apple wireless 'Magic Mouse' disconnects after a minute or two of use from either/both computers and will re-connect with a few clicks when this happens.
    Prior to updating I never had this problem with either computer or either mouse.
    Both of my 'Magic Trackpads' work properly with no disconnects.
    I have turned off each Magic Mouse, tried one then the other however there appears to be no solution to this problem.
    I have concluded this must be a result of the update to 10.8.1.
    Any ideas or potential solutions will be welcomed.

         I've also been experiencing similiar issues since updating to 10.8.1 on my newer model 13" MacBook Pro.  The wireless mighty mouse I have will initially work with my computer, but then after a seemingly arbitrary (short) amount of time, I lose bluetooth connectivity although my MacBook Pro still shows me as being "connected" to this device.  At times the issue will resolve itself, but more often than not it requires a complete restart to remedy.
         On a possibly related note, has anyone else noticed that the bluetooth icon in the toolbar, when clicked on, results in the infamous Apple pinwheel alot since the update as well?  I wonder if this is somehow a related issue?
         I went into an Apple store about the mighty mouse connectivity issue and couldn't get a solution.  The diagnositics all checked out.  Store representative told me that they could take it over night to do a more thorough checkup, but I wasn't ready to part with my laptop over this issue...just yet.
         Anyone with answers, please help.

    I just found Mouse Wizard:
    http://www.samuco.net/web/node/23
    I will say that when I downloaded the demo the center button didn't work, but a very quick & courteous reply from their tech support suggested:
    In terminal, can you try entering this command: "rm ~/Library/Preferences/.MagicalWizard.plist". Then, relaunch MouseWizard.
    I did this & now I have center button nirvana! (Mouse Wizard also supports a version of the squeeze button (they call it fourth button) and squeeze/bloat gestures.)
    So far so good--it's made me much happier with my magic mouse.

  • More preferences for magic mouse needed.

    The magic mouse is really a nice piece of hardware, but the software is lacking.  Here are a couple of problems I have and suggestions that would make my life a lot easier.
    There scrolling feature is nearly useless in text editors.  It is always causing undesired scrolls of the text windows and various list boxes.  I end up turning off the scroll feature when using a text editor. I would like to see application specific preferences for the mouse scroll.  Allow user to enable mouse scroll on an application by application basis and set various scroll options on an application basis allowing me to disable scrolling for desired applications.  This would eliminate the need to open system preferences every time I switch apps.
    For text editing applications, I tend to disable scrolling, but I would like to retain the scroll feature, but restrict it to a center portion of the mouse so it must be activated using the middle finger as one would do with a wheel mouse.  To accomplish this, the mouse surface could be treated as three separate zones, left, center and right.  New mouse preferences would allow user to specify if the mouse surface was treated as a single zone, or as multiple zones.  User should be able to configure the mouse for individual applications to enable the multi-zone feature.

    Think back.   Was your mouse turned off at the point when you downloaded Mavericks.   

  • The magic mouse still can't connect to my mac book

    i change the new batteries with my magic mouse
    it cannot connect to my mac book with lion
    i can see the green light but only for few seconds
    reboot no work
    i have the pad& keyborad also, they all work, only the mouse

    Sorry for not explaining myself better, I can easily connect to the windows machine from the Mac using the IP address. I can't connect to the Mac from the PC and I have tried using the IP address.

  • Magic Mouse needs multiple clicks to respond

    My Magic Mouse has been having issues today: about 20% of the time, the computer doesn't respond when I click, but if I click again right after that, it works. Changed the batteries, but that didn't help. Anyone else notice this, or have any ideas on how to fix it?

    Hi captfred:
    I wasn't - honest!!!!   I have not posted a new thread in awhile.  You used to be able to mark a thread "solved" without awarding points -  I have more than I need!

  • MAGIC MOUSE & WIRELESS KEYBOARD - LOST CONNECTION

    Hi guys,
    I get confused why the mouse and the wireless keyboard lost it's connection from time to time. I cannot explain it and I don't know what to do except wait for it to reconnect. It's kinda annoying. Is this an issue with the software or something?
    many thanks

    This disconnection problem seems to be a major problem with anything Apple! I have had this problem for months now, as have others and have tried everything that has been suggested in this Forum, all to no avail.
    On the assumption that may be, just may be, someone from Apple will read the myriad of problems associated with the constant disconnection of wireless products produced by/for them, they will get it sorted. But it has been going on for years it seems to me, and still there is no tangible work around or permanent fix.
    I am reaching the stage where I will be throwing my MM out the window soon along with any of the other wireless connected items I have. (Keyboard, Number Pad, MM and Track Pad.) There just does not seem to be any answer that works permanently. Never ever had this problem when I used the Windows system and am getting a wee bit miffed that I changed from Windows to Apple. The most unreliable piece of kit ever to come out of a Computer Shop!!

  • Magic Mouse not connecting to MBP after Sleep or Re-start

    This has been an on going problem for me since I upgraded to OSX 10.8 on my MBP.  Since the upgrade my Magic Mouse will no longer connect to my MBP after it has gone to sleep, restarted or shut down.  The only way I have been able to get a connection is to Click on the BT icon goto the mouse>Open  Preferances.  At this point the computer is 'Waiting for a Bluetooth mouse to be discovered' and it will keep searching forever.  Clicking on the mouse button or moving the mouse around does not do anything even though the green light on the bottom of the mouse indicates it is on & attempting communication.  I have to turn the mouse off for 3-5 seconds and then turn the mouse back on.  This is the only way for the computer to see the mouse, I then click connect the mouse connects and all is good until the computer sleeps, gets restarted or shut down.
    I have tried resetting the PRAM & SMC.  I have also deleted the mouse from bluetooth preferances and re-paired it with the computer several times.  I even tried deleting the PList and re-pairing but nothing yet has worked!
    Open to any and all suggests! PLEASE help!

    Hi,
    I have a mid 2014 15 inch MacBook Pro and I'm experiencing now the same issue. I have an iPad and an iMac and the issue is only with the MacBook Pro.
    I went to System Preferences > Network > Wi - Fi and selected 'Ask to join new networks'. It didn't remove completely the issue (is still not finding the network) but at least I don't have to turn the wifi on and off all the time because after a while is able to connect.

  • Restart -- Magic Mouse does not auto-reconnect

    After I updated OS from 10.6.4 to 10.6.5 with the combo updater, upon restart my Magic Mouse no longer auto-reconnect via Bluetooth. I even applied the combo updater for the second time. But, every time I restart my Mac, I have to use a USB mouse to reconnect the Magic Mouse back to the Mac.
    How can I bring the auto-reconnect back? This is driving me crazy.

    I believe that I have solved the issue with the following procedure.
    [0] Let's suppose that, after a restart, the Magic Mouse did not auto-connect.
    [1] Use a USB mouse to open *System Preferences > Bluetooth*.
    [2] In the left-side window, select the Magic Mouse.
    [3] At the bottom of this left-side window, pull down the menu and select *Update Device Services*.
         It may take a moment or two for the update to occur.
    [4] In the left-side window, the Magic Mouse should now appear as Connected.
    [5] Restart the Mac and see if the Magic Mouse auto-connects now.

    Hi,
    I am having the same issue listed above on my new Mac Mini i just bought, I also contacted Express VPN support and got the same instructions with exception of the command to run in the utilities terminal.  I tried the steps listed, and both commands (posted here, and sent to me directly by Express VPN support), and still unable to connect on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.2, but I am able to connect on my iPad and my MacBook which is running Mac OS X 10.6.8.  Usually Express VPN is spot on with their customer support, but this is taking longer to get resolved.  Here is the steps sent to me
    Try doing the following to see if the problem gets resolved:
    Please follow the instructions here: https://www.expressvpn.org/support/setting_dns_servers_mac_os
    (should still be the same for Lion) and then add the following DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 & 208.67.222.220. After adding the DNS servers, please do the following steps as well:
    Note: If you're connecting to your ISP via a PPPoE connection, then set the DNS servers on the PPPoE connection itself and then restart your computer for the DNS settings to take effect.
    1. Click on Applications
    2. Click on Utilities
    3. Click on Terminal
    4. Type the following command (without the quotes): "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"
    5. Press enter and then try reconnecting to the VPN.
    If you're still unable to connect, please send us in the latest log files.
    Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

  • Magic Mouse connects / disconnects at random

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Pro and a Magic Mouse for just 13 months now. It worked fine just until I installed Yosemite.
    Now the Magic Mous, working with Bleutooth, connects bit disconnect in one or two seconds later, and than it connects / disconnects again repeatively. I replaced batteries for new ones but in vain: problem continues.
    Do I need a new driver that did not went automaticly with Yosemite? Is there an other problem?
    Thanks for your help in advance
    anjarie

    My magic mouse will work for a couple days fine but for the majority of the time my mac book doesnt even recognize it at all. It says no blue tooth device detected. I've tried everything. New batteries, turning on and off, trying to do anything I can think off. The icon at the top of the page says Bluetooth: Not Available. When I turn the mouse on by the switch on the bottom, it glows green for about 2 seconds ad then starts blinking twice then eventually stops blinking all together. Its been days since i can get it to work. It has always been really touchy. I think I may take it in to the mac store and see what they say. Any one have any ideas????

  • 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?

  • Ultimate solution to Magic Mouse connection issue?

    I have found that many users of Magic Mouse are experiencing frequent connection dropouts. I am another user who has been having trouble with this but unable to find a permanent solution.
    I know that whenever this happens, usually by switching off the bluetooth on the computer and switching it back on would make it work again, but sometimes when this problem gets intensified, within a minute after I switch back on the bluetooth and reconnect the mouse,  the mouse would appear laggy again (and disconnect too at times).
    I would like to know if there is a permanent solution to this problem.

    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.

  • Connection problems with Magic Mouse and handoff

    I did a clean install of 10.10.3 and since then the Magic Mouse has had problems connecting. First it wouldn't pair. After a few reboots and repeated attempts I was able to pair the mouse with the rMBP. After waking from sleep it now no longer connects. I select the mouse in the Bluetooth menu and connect. Connection appears on the screen, but the mouse doesn't respond. After a few moments I get Connection Lost on the screen.
    In addition to the mouse problems I have completely lost any hand off capability to or from the iPhone to the rMBP or back. It's like the Bluetooth connection between the devices is not working or is too weak to function.
    It would be very much appreciated if any one has any suggestions on the cause or to a solution.
    Thanks.

    Hey Tom,
    NVRAM and PRAM are, while technically different, effectively the same. Newer systems utilize NVRAM to store the same information that was stored in PRAM on older Macs.
    On older Mac computers, similar information was stored in Parameter RAM (PRAM). Resetting NVRAM on Intel-based Macs using the same key combination is like resetting PRAM.
