Magic mouse sluggish after rebooting mac

Hi,
I have a strange problem with my magic mouse.
I have an early 2013 Macbook pro retina. After I upgraded to Yosemite, for a while I had a lot of problems with the magic mouse, sluggish response, disconnecting all the time and so on.
I reset the SMC and that solved the problem, occasionally it would come back but resetting the SMC always solved it.
But a few times, I have problems after rebooting the mac. The mouse is working perfectly but when the computer reboots starts behaving badly.
Yesterday I had that problem, I rebooted my mac and after all the mouse was terrible. I tried resetting the SMC but it didn't work. I remove the device and it had problems finding it, it eventually did but still it wasn't working well.
After a while, I shut down the system, reset the SMC once again, waited for about a minute, turned it back on and as the mouse was still a bit erratic, then I rebooted, and from then on it worked well.
I read an Apple support article that recommends doing that, shutting down, wait, power on and restart.
What puzzles me is why would this happen when I reboot the mac. It's like bluetooth needs sometime to start working properly again.
does anybody know anything about this?

HI,
Try Resetting the PRAM
Also, install the v10.6.2 Combo Update
Repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and *restart your Mac.*

Reconnect Magic Mouse/keyboard after reinstalling Mac OSX

After about a week I finally managed to reinstall Mac OSX Snow Leopard...I took a RAM stick out at random and it worked...good thing there weren't any Genius bar appointments which suited me.
Anyway, now I need to connect a keyboard
I've already got my USB keyboard in it (The same size one as the wireless one...but this one's wired)
I've unplugged it, plugged it back in. I've dug out my wireless keyboard and nothing's happened (Yes, the green light blinks...)
I put my iMac to sleep, I turned it off, it still isn't working...
I could try and find a wired mouse/keyboard somewhere...but I can't believe my wired Apple keyboard isn't working with it ^_^
I'm surprised Apple think this wireless stuff is a good thing...I'm more surprised my wired keyboard won't connect...
It's an iMac 11,2 (I think - Whatever the late 2010 one was) and I'm running Snow Leopard.
Also - When's it safe to put the RAM back in? Or is it actually faulty and I need to get a replacement? How can I check?

Just to clarify, this is what I want/hope to do:
Backup my iMac using Time Machine (Complete)
Format the iMac to factory settings (Complete)
Reinstall Snow Leopard (Incomplete)
Restore some files and folders (Incomplete)
Maybe upgrade to Lion...if I'm in a good mood.
I'm mainly doing this because my hard drive stopped last week, and the hard drive fan sped up. I had to restart, went into safe mode and...I don't actually know what you're supposed to do in safe mode so I restart normally. The next day, I turned my iMac on and it had that bar below the logo as if it was booting in safe mode, the bar appeared to have stopped, so I turned the iMac off, and upon turning it back on, the bar was back, so I decided to leave it and it started fine. The next day, once again, the bar was there so I left it, but once it got to the desktop, Finder wouldn't load, I tried relaunching Finder a few times, then restarted the computer, if I remember correctly, it restarted and Finder wouldn't load again. I tried again, this time it wouldn't boot at all, I Googled it a bit and tried resetting the PRAM, SMC etc., then found that you can read what's happening when it's booting to safe mode, and many errors came up saying that some numbers were incorrect, after a few minutes, it said "Halting CPU" or something, and that's when it turned off. I then booted from the disc, and restored using the Time Machine backup. I wasn't pleased with the backup; some applications failed to load properly. I thought I might as well restore it and just copy a few files across, to save space and speed up the computer.
The many times I tried reinstalling Snow Leopard, it didn't work. I tried many things, and last night I decided to make a disc image or something to a USB stick. I don't think it was an image, because the tutorial I followed which worked didn't require that you create an image. After trying to install from the USB stick, it failed, I then removed a RAM stick, it finally worked! But my keyboard wouldn't connect...that's when I came to creatin this post, and I tried reinstalling again, it failed to reinstall, I tried removing the other RAM stick, still failed.
Last week wasn't the first time my hard drive suddenly stopped, it's happened a few times before, but the hard drive fan hasn't sped up upon the hard drive stopping, and it's also managed to start again and the computer to continue working a few seconds later. Maybe it is about time I take it to Apple...but my warranty's ran out so I'm not sure if they'll help me.

Magic Mouse Troubles After Software Update

I am having trouble with my magic mouse after a software update. I am using Lion (I think) 10.7.5. My trouble is that when I shut down my Mac, my magic mouse doesn't work until after I log in. I can't click on the user with the magic mouse; it simply doesn't work until after I log in. So I have to plug in my corded mouse and click on the user, type in my password, and then the magic mouse works again. This has only become a problem since I cannot type in a username and the users are now buttons/icons on the screen. Are there any fixes to this, or just have to deal with it? Okay, I did just notice I can use the arrow keys on my keyboard to go between users. Still, this is not an automatic thought that comes in my head when I see buttons/icons to click on. I want to automatically use the mouse. So if there are any other fixes beyond keyboard arrows, I would appreciate input. Thank you!!!

For those a little less into do it yourself 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.

The problem started when I put my I Mac in sleep mode for few Hours.
Please provide me the solution
Thanks

I think you have the same problem as we have:

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.

You are welcome. Those resets frequently fix odd problems.

Magic Mouse issues after updating to iTunes 11

Hi,
Just updated to iTunes 11, and immediately after installing I have been losing Bluetooth connection to my Magic Mouse. This usually happens when I click on an icon in my dock to launch an App. Specifically, most often when I am launching iTunes. I've ruled out a battery issue, as I've replaced them and it doesn't make a difference. I've even cleared my PRAM at startup (CMD+OPT+P+R at startup), since I saw this suggested for similar Magic Mouse issues not related to iTunes. Resetting the ram made no difference in my case.
I've had the Magic Mouse for 2+ years, and this has never been an issue before. In fact, I've never had any connection issues with the mouse that weren't related to weak batteries, and everything was working great until I installed iTunes 11. Just wondering if others have had this issue since upgrading to iTunes 11, and if so, how it was corrected?
Thanks.

Hi, I've not had this issue, but iTunes 11 does seem to be doing something to my Magic Mouse. For example within iTunes 11 I can no longer swipe forwards and backwards. Not sure if there is some kind of hitch with the new iTunes software and the Magic Mouse firmware?

Has anyone figured out a way to scroll & swipe with magic mouse again after upgrading to Maverick? Thanks!

I finally upgraded to Maverick and now my magic mouse doesn't scroll or swipe on any application and to make things worse, my keyboard scrolling ability after pressing down on the arrows is a bit delayed. Does anyone know how to solve this? My magic mouse and keyboard are a month old, so, I know it's not the devices, but something with the update.
Things I've done from reading other forums:
1. Went to System Preferences/Mouse Settings [but it only gives me two settings: Tracking & Double-Click Speed]
2. I've reset my PRAM a few timesnow.
3. Tried restarting my computer a few times too, but nothing.
4. I've tried searching for these files in my Library to DELETE, but they don't exist, so that method is not an option:
com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse.plist
com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.trackpad.list
com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plist
Also, my bluetooth capabilites are no longer available because of this update. :^/
Thanks in advance!

or my actual question is -- is there anything inherantly wrong with this approach.. i mean, if i can get it to make it through consistently, is there a problem with it repeating / updating the variable so many times in a row? is it a drain on system resources or can it break anything etc.?
Although I'm far from being an expert in programming, I would answer NO. Imho, you've just got a brillant idea! (As for “repeating / updating the variable so many times in a row”… you could add a short delay (like “delay 1”) inside the repeat block, but I don't think it's a must.)

Will the Apple Magic Mouse work with my Mac Mini?

Hi
I have a mid 2007 Mac mini — the Model 2,1 — running Mac OS X Snow Leopard, 10•6•8
I’m thinking of treating myself to the Apple Magic Mouse, or Trackpad.
Will the Magic Mouse, work with this model and version of the OS … ?
(I’m ALSO told I need to have Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0: how do I go about checking that I do … ?)

I'm not sure about the 2007 mini, but a quick check is to open your system preferences and look for Bluetooth preferences. If there aren't any, then no magic mouse for you...

Mac audio TOO LOUD after rebooting Mac

After rebooting a PowerMac G4/500 (AGP) with Mac OS X 10.4.6 sounds too loud (as if it was at top highest volume) when playing audio files, even though the audio setting (keyboard audio keys) is set to only one to three points. Just clicking such keyboard audio buttons (to lower or even increase it) fixes it and the audio returns to its correct volume. What is going on? This is driving me nuts!
Thanks.

Justin,
Thanks. I have done as indicated, shut down and booted, yet the issue persists. For instance, if I go to iTunes and play a song, it plays very loud, yet the audio is set at a single point. I can see it clicking the keyboard audio keys. As said, once I click any of such keys (increase or reduce volume any amount) the audio returns to its normal volume until the next time that I boot the Mac. This is a 100% consistent issue. Weird.

Magic Mouse stumbles after installing SSD in Lion

For general information.
Sunday while spring cleaning my trusty Mac Pro 1.1 2006-2007 running Lion I decided to install Crucial's M500 SSD. It was easy and no issue loading Lion.
Then the Magic Mouse kept staggering and freezing up. Searched here and throughout the internet. I put back the original hard drive with all my setting and it kept lagging.
Just now as I was going to post for help I turned my Mac Pro around from the usual postion I put it in and lo and behold the mouse is working fine again. I loved the Mac Pro closer. Mouse was fine. I turned it around where the front of the Mac Pro is less than 8 inches from the mouse and the symptoms return.
Interesting huh?

Why does Magic Mouse lag with new Mac Pro?

My magic mouse worked great on the old G5. Works fine an mini mac. Unusable on the brand new mac pro.
I have a $10 laptop mouse from an old pc that is wireless through a tiny usb connector that works 1000 times better.
Why?
<Re-Titled By Host>

I have three MM. One just does not work well. The other two are fine with the 2013 Mac Pro. Sometimes you have to clean the optical lens and sometimes they just don't work on any machine.

Loss of Magic Mouse function after downloading Mountain Lion

I have lost the "two-finger swipe" back to previous screen function of my Magic Mouse after downloading Mountain Lion. The vertical scroll function still works, only in the opposite direction. Weird! Any ideas?

You must have upgraded from Snow Leopard. The scroll direction has changed to "natural" where you push content in the direction you want it to go, as thought you had you finger on the screen. You can change it back the other direction In System Preferences > Mouse > uncheck Scroll direction: natural.
The swipe back a page is now a one finger swipe. You can change that as well in System Preferences > Mouse > More gestures tab. Click the disclouse triangle for the choices.

Magic mouse sluggish

About once a day, or more, my Magic Mouse become sluggish. It will not move quickly and I end up using the touch pad to do my work. I really don't like this mouse and am considering going back to a good, old, cheap, reliable, wireless mouse.

I've had the same problem since buying it; even had it switched out at the Genious Bar. I've gone back to the Magic Mouse, which only requires the ball to be cleaned from time to time to work realiably.
But since a wireless mouse has so much to offer, I'll probably buy another brand.

Magic Mouse included with every Mac?

I bought a Macbook from Cyprus in August. Should the magic mouse be included?
Because i read now that magic mouse is included with every Mac.

Hello:
What, exactly, did you read? A MacBook has a trackpad built-in. It is not supplied with a mouse.

MacOSX forgetting Magic Mouse settings after restart

Hello together,
since today my MacOS X (MacBook Pro, 10.6.6, early 2011) seems to forget my Magic Mouse movement settings every time I restart OSX and after waking up from sleep mode. The settings are always put to minimum automatically.
Every time I have to fix it in the System settings.
I have already repaired the HDD access rights and set the Magic Mouse to Favorite. Without effect to the problem.
Does anybody have an idea what could be the reason for this problem and how to solve it?
Thanks and Regards
Manuel

Manuel,
Try going into System Prefs->Accounts. Unlock it. Look in "Login Items" and delete MagicPrefs application. Restart your computer. It worked for me...
