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.

Magic Mouse NOT CONNECTING in Lion

My Magic Mouse has had a constant issue connecting to the MacBook Pro ever since upgrading to Lion. It seems there is an obvious issue between Lion and Bluetooth. I keep waiting for Apple to release an update for Lion, hoping they'll fix it.
Are you having this problem? If so, please reply below and let's get noticed.
What I do to fix it:
All I end up having to do is go to the Bluetooth icon (on the top right of the screen), go to Apple Magic Mouse, Open Mouse Preferences, and just wait without need to click anthing else. It takes a few seconds and then it'll connect. But I have to do this everytime I wake my MacBook Pro from sleep. It does fine connecting after a re-start or shut down but never from sleep.
What about you?

I have a similar problem in Lion but not Snow Leopard. At start up, sometimes both my Bluetooh (BT) Mouse and BT Keyboard connect just fine. Other times, one or the other does not connect at start up, but never both. With the keyboard, after the window comes up saying a keyboard is not connected, I turn the keyboard off then on and it will then connect. More times than that, it is the mouse that does not connect. I have a wired mouse that I use to connect it from the BT menu and everything is fine until I shut down and then restart (usually the next day). I don't think it is the PRAM because sometimes it works fine so it must be retained in the memory and I don't want to reset it if I don't have to and loose other settings. Same with resetting SMC, I prefer not to reset it. I have a second bootable hard drive with Snow Leaopard on it, and when I switch to that, it never has a problem. It seems to me to be a quirk in Lion. Just looking to see if others have this same type of problem.

Original Macbook Pro Retina 15 not connecting to wifi after sleep

When Waking from sleep, it searches for wifi and finds it but doesn't connect most of the time. i click/select the network manually & sometimes it connects but iv ended up resorted to turning wifi off, then turn back on & it finds the network (it found earlier) AND connects to it automatically. this problem happens on other wifi's aswell, not just my home wifi.
Wondering why it can find the network after sleep, but doesn't want to connect to it. All my ios devices, my sisters MBP retina 13 connects perfectly. I've come to conclusion it must be my computer....

I to have this problem. I have a late 2013 Macbook Pro 13inch with Retina display. I soon discovered on my machine that if you disable Bluetooth then the macbook connects to the wi-fi as it should. I dont have a problem on my home network with any other apple devices and the connectivity issue is the same on what ever network I try. I soon realised that if I disabled Bluetooth the machine connects perfectly everytime. There is clearly a bug or some technical issue that occurs preventing wi-fi connection when you have Bluetooth enabled. Try it and see if it is teh same with yours?
I was hopeing that the fault or issue would be fixed with the latest OX update but alas it is still an issue for me on my machine. I have just taken to switching Bluetooth to off until I am connected and then just turn Bluetooth on if I need it.
Hopeing that some kind of fix will be issued soon.
Let me know if this Bluetooth issue is the cause of the issue as I woudl be interested.
Best wishes.

Airport does not connect fast enough after sleep on Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Ever since installing Snow Leopard, I have noticed that my Airport will not connect fast enough when I am waking from sleep. I sometimes have to wait upwards of 30 seconds after waking from sleep so Airport can connect and I can begin using the Internet. I notice that Airport says it is connected, but when I launch Safari, I get the "Not Connected to Internet" error message. I have tried removing the com.apple.airport.preferences.plist file to no avail. I have also tried Archiving and Installing and the issue is still there. Any ideas or fixes? Thanks.

Those seem to happen a lot when you have stealth mode enabled (Security System Prefs, Firewall, Advanced). For me, they all seemed to be innocuous so I turned it off. I don't think this would affect your connectivity, though.
You should also see it negotiate the connection. Is there anything that looks like it is repeating or retrying or other disconcerting messages? Here's an example of mine waking:1/5/10 8:27:36 PM kernel Wake reason = USB1

Not connected to internet after sleep

Hi my Macbook Pro 13" early 2011 is not instantly connecting to the internet after sleep. I goto network diagnostics, all green lights are on, it says your internet is working fine, I click on a bookmark, it says I'm not connected. I repeat this two or three times, and finally after clicking on the third or fourth bookmark, it connects. I'm on Sky broadband UK through an Airport Express and my iPhone, Android (eeurgh!) 'phone, other computers and PS3 all connect with no problems. Any ideas folks?
Also whilst I'm here, I've noticed software update has downloaded the same EFI firmware update four times, and that other software updates are available immediately after updating software.... Something I'm not used to? And, during restart, the computer beeps. Normal?
Regards

Well, thanks to Carolyn Samit from San Francisco I think I found the answer by deleting Cache.db from Safari prefs in the library... Haven't been on these boards for a few years now - forgot how to use them! Anyway, if anyone can help with the software update repeats before I search the answer that'd be great thanks!

W520 running Windows 8.1 not connecting to internet after sleep

Hey everybody, really need the help!
I have a w520 that suddenly stopped connecting to the internet after waking up from sleep. I will connect to the network and show others but the connection to the Internet times out. Once I restart I can access the Internet but as soon as it goes to sleep the problem happens again. I have tried on many different networks and at the beginning of the week this was not an issue.
Things I have tried:
different browser
different networks
reinstalling the drivers for the card
What else could be causing this sudden issue?

Welcome FIMuPhi198
1. Go to Start > System Update > Install all critical and recommended updates.
2. Download and install the newer version of Wi-Fi driver from Intel.

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 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

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 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.

Other mouse besides Bluetooth Magic Mouse not recognized?

I am fairly new to the forum, so I am sorry if this is in the wrong section...
I bought my computer last summer, and it came with the Magic Mouse and wireless keyboard, both, as all of you probably know, bluetooth. Nothing is wrong with these things. In fact, I much prefer them over other mice and keyboards. The problem is the left and right click buttons. I understand that I can go into System Preferences and get the Magic Mouse to have both the Left and Right clickers, which I have done. I didn't really enjoy the feel of it, as I prefer feeling both of the buttons over just one large one. So, I decided to hook up my wireless Microsoft mouse with a small USB connection. When I disabled my Magic Mouse and connected the Microsoft mouse, nothing happened. I wasn't able to use the Microsoft mouse, which works fine on any other non-Apple computer that I test it on.
Is there any way that I can go about fixing this problem and making it so that the Microsoft mouse is recognized by the computer?
Thanks,
~Elliot

Hello E:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I decided to hook up my wireless Microsoft mouse with a small USB connection.
Are you trying to do this with a USB "dongle?"
When I disabled my Magic Mouse
How did you do this? Did you delete the magic mouse in system preferences?
In any event, I have not seen anything like what you are describing. I am not criticizing non-Apple devices, but I am unable to suggest troubleshooting steps for non-Apple hardware as I have no experience with them.

Magic mouse lose connection

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

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".

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.

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.

Mac is not connecting to TV after using Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter Cable?

Macbook Pro is not connecting to TV after using Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter Cable. 2010 Macbook Pro, just purchased Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter Cable from Amazon. Link here: http://www.amazon.com/Mini_Dis-HDMI-CB6-Mini-DisplayPort-Adapter-Cable/dp/B003OC 6LWM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1406238976&sr=8-2&keywords=mac+to+tv --When i connect both ends of the cable to the TV and to the laptop, the screen will blink, but then afterwards it will not mirror on the TV. I have tried going to display setting but cannot find the arrangements tab. When i searched "arrangements" a message said, "The Arrangement tab of Displays preferences is hidden because you only have a single display attached to this computer." Not sure how to fix this problem. I have connected this laptop to a TV before, but with a different cable other than the one i just purchased. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Found the fix. Still don't know if it was Windows, iTunes, or Norton 360, but this worked immediately for me:

Re: iTunes Store Won't Load, Won't Show Error Message
Aug 13, 2011 4:32 PM (in response to Daedalme)
I found a solution posted from Rodfromnework for PC users. It worked for me and easy to do.
Start --> Programs --> Accessories (Right Click on Command Prompt) --> Run as Administrator
then type in:
Netsh winsock reset
Hit enter, restart PC, open iTunes, go to Store
Hope it works for you too.
