Magic Mouse stutters when 27" Apple Cinema Display connected

I have a 2011 MacBook Pro and 27" Apple LED Cinema Display, and a Mighty Mouse. All purchased 2 weeks ago.
When I work with the 27" display connected, the Mighty Mouse's performance is intolerable. It jerks, stutters and jumps all over the place. it will work fine for a short period time (30 seconds) and then become jerky and stutter all over the place for 5 seconds.
This does not happen when the display is disconnected.
To ensure it wasn't a software issue, I used Boot Camp to run Windows 7. The problem is the same in Windows. Again, when I disconnect the display and use my laptop's screen, the problem goes away.
Some people have suggested that it may be interference from 2.4Ghz wireless networks and recommended to switch to 5Ghz. However, turning my router off did not help.
I tried positioning the mouse less than 2 inches away from the laptop, both in open & closed-lid mode. Again, the problem remains.
The laptop's trackpad always works fine, as does a wired Mighty Mouse.
So, in summary:
*Is there known interference between the 27" Display and Bluetooth devices such as my Magic Mouse?*

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

  • Using only an Apple Cinema Display connected to MBP (w/ the lid closed)

    Hi,
    Could someone please help me on a small but rather annoying problem?
    I have a Mac Book Pro 17" connected to an Apple Cinema Display 24". All I would like to do is to just use the Cinema Display, close the laptop lid, and for the MBP not to go into sleep mode (taking the Apple Display away with it).
    I've looked in the Display and Energy Saver settings and have trawled through the online forums but as yet have not had any luck.
    Can someone point me in the right direction?
    Many thanks, M>/.

    Apple supports using an external keyboard/mouse to wake the MBP in clamshell mode.

    The other option is 3rd party software to disable lid-closed sleep:

    You can use USB for the Apple trackpad.

  • I have an apple magic mouse, sometimes when I slide mouse up to the left my whole window is enlarged.  How do I put window back to normal

    I have an apple magic mouse, sometimes when I slide mouse up to the left my whole window is enlarged.  How do I put window back to normal size

    Got confused between your header question about a wired mouse and the main question about a wireless mouse.  You said your magic mouse was frozen and added you do not have a wireless mouse.   Problem is ... the magic mouse is wireless.   The original mighty mouse was the corded version.
    The wired mouse is a regular problem.  After two to three years it tends to clog up. You can clean it (to a degree) as follows.
    Using an alcohol moistened, not wet, cotton bud, scratch at the mouse ball for a minute or so.   Then turn it upside down and on a clean piece of thick white paper or card on a firm surface, vigorously rub the mouse ball on the paper in a regular figure of eight.  Do this for a minute or so and occasionally tap the mouse on the paper.   This will help dislodge bits of fluff etc.   Then try again

  • Wi-fi not working with Apple Cinema Display and Bluetooth-peripheral

    Hello everyone.
    I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), with OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. My problem is that when I use my macbook in closed-clamshell mode, the wi-fi connection becomes very slow and it regularly drops.
    My external display is a Apple Cinema Display, 22-inch, model M8149. My mouse is the Apple Magic Mouse and my keyboard is the Apple Wireless Keyboard.
    Thanks in advance for helping me.

    Good day Brett,
    I followed the suggested steps and for Wireless Diagnostics is all ok, but my connectivity problems are not solved.
    I have made two report of the analysis. The first in "normal" mode is downloadable here. The second in closed-clamshell mode is downloadable here.
    Could you tell me what is going on?
    Thank you a lot

  • Macbook Air + 30" Apple Cinema Display + Powered USB hub

    I just received my dual link DVI to mini display port adapter in the mail today, and so far it's working just fine connecting my newer generation Macbook Air to the older 30" Apple Cinema display (the Air is closed, with an Apple wireless mouse/keyboard connected via Bluetooth).
    I'm wondering if anyone has any success connecting a powered USB hub to either the adapter itself or the 30" display in order to gain some USB functionality out of the Air? I have a powered 4 port D-Link hub which worked fine directly into the Air, but I can't seem to power any devices when it's hooked up to the 30" display or directly into the adapter. I can't even get devices (external powered hard drives, Mbox) to work when plugged into the screen directly (no hub).
    I called AppleCare about the problem and they said they don't support USB hubs via the 30" Apple Cinema Display when connected to the Macbook Air, but if anyone has any experience with this situation or if someone could offer me advice to get USB functionality out of my MBA + 30" ACD, it would be greatly appreciated!

  • FCP7 2 apple cinema displays & 1 sony HDTV issues

    Hello, I am having issues with connecting my 3rd montior which is a SONY HDTV.  I am able to connect all 3 montiors and they all work fine as far as the workspace goes, but one thing I was used to when editing using a SONY DSR-11 was having the 3rd montior, in this case the Sony monitor, as the video ouput monitor, you know, to be able to see what I was editing rather than what I do now wich is drag the canvas window to the SONY monitor and enlarging it.  It's kind of annoying to be honest.  Anyway, anyone out there experience the same issue?  I have an ATI Readeon 5770 card which has the two mini dislay ports for the 2 apple cinema displays and the DVI to HDMI port on the card.  Also, I am able to view the cut on one of the apple cinema displays (i don't want this as i want it on the SONY display) when i hit view>external video>all frames and then for video playback the only options I getr is the apple displays AND its the wrong aspect ratio when i play it but when i pause, it goes back to the aspect ratio i shot it in.   ANY help would be greatly appreciated!

    Turn OFF [√] Mirror Displays
    Then you get something like this:
    The screens are connected along an edge of your choosing to make one large "Extended desktop". For your sanity, you arrange then in the same way (by dragging the blue boxes that represnt each display) to the same order they are in on your bench.
    The mouse moves freely across the divide between screens, and it can carry a window with it. The little white bar is the menuBar, and it can be moved as well.
    If you move a window onto another screen, it can be re-sized to fill almost the entire screen. If you split a window across displays, it scrolls and updates "the right way".

  • 20" Apple Cinema Display - Dim Backlight Fixed! (Sorta)

    Well... as many other Apple Cinema Display owners have experienced the infamous dim backlight with the "short short long blink" - I have some wierd news to report...
    Mine got fixed last night on total accident.
    Last night there was a huge storm in my area and there was a lot of lighting and massive down pour of rain, stay with me honest I have a point.
    My G5 was on last night while I was asleep in the other room within visual range of the display. There was a lighting strike on my property about 20' from where my office is which is on the corner of the house. The lighting hit the tree and send an obvious surge of power into my house and zapped some electronics.
    Wireless router, cable modem, and thermal label printer all bit the dust - and the USB ports on the back of the ADC display. I jumped up from the sleep and saw the monitor light up out of screen saver because the house shook so hard. I ran over to the machine and tried to move the mouse and keyboard and no go since the USB ports are burned out, but the monitor was FULLY LIT UP. I have unplugged the monitor and plugged it back in multiple times, turned the machine off and let it sit and it still is working great minus the USB ports.
    My hunch is this... because of the dead USB ports which are no longer drawing any power, is it possible that the USB ports are the cause of the "short short long blink"?
    My screen went dead initially when it was in a deep sleep mode and NEVER came out of it until now.
    So basically what I am suggesting is that someone try and unhook the USB (if it is even possible) and see if that helps with their display - if not, I guess I am just lucky and my Apple Cinema Display is just lucky to not have fully bit the dust.

    We can't answer that because that's going to depend on who you talk to. By the book, AppleCare covers defects and not accidental damage, so you could get a No answer if they determine it was not due to a defect. But realistically, sometimes you talk to someone who decides to use their ability to authorize an exception and get it fixed anyway. The only way to find out is to call AppleCare.

  • Apple Cinema Display 24inch USB Issues

    I recently purchased the new apple cinema display 24" to use on my macbook pro 13"inch.
    the Display work flawlessly until yesterday, i came to my office as usual connected my macbook pro the display turned on but I couldn't get my keyboard to work. (Apple USB Keyboard) my magic mouse worked just fine.
    I went through troubleshooting and I realized that the USB's in the Cinema display are not working, of course if the USB's are not working that means Isight and the built in microphone aren't working either.
    I recently upgraded my mac, installed a 500GB HD and installed snow leopard 10.6.2. but I don't think thats the issue because the screen worked before with leopard.
    So i turned off my macbook, disconnected magic mouse, I unplugged my cinema display for the power. then power everything all together. not happened.
    but then later suddenly the keyboard, Isight, microphone worked for the entire day.
    I came back today to the office and i'm going through the same problem.
    Could it be just a software issue or is it Hardware. I hope its software.

    Take a look in System Profiler next time it happens. If the devices still appear in the USB section, it's probably software. If they're gone, it's probably hardware.

  • Apple Cinema Display not working in Win XP

  • Unable to use any Apple Cinema Displays with unplugged 2011 MBP

    My older MBPs have worked with Apple Cinema Displays (I currently have a few year old one and a 2011 27" ACD) while unplugged.  My new 15" MBP however needs to remain plugged in to allow waking (or prevent sleeping) when hooked up to the display in clamshell mode (computer is closed).  Is this a bug, a problem with my configuration, or just the way it is?
    Thanks for any replies.
    Jeff

    Jeff,
    if you want your settings to be the same plugged in while not plugged in, you'll need to do so in energy saver preferences in system preferences.
    once there, you can tell your computer how to act when on battery power or when plugged in. This means telling it to not sleep even when not plugged in, or visa versa.
    if you're talking about using your MBP closed while using the ACD, all you need to do is close it, and move your mouse around. it'll wake up but your ACD will become the main display with your dock and toolbar.

  • 23" Apple Cinema Display won't wake

    I have learned alot on these forums but seldom post. Thanks in advance!
    I have a G5 dual 2.0 Powermac, not sure what OS- I should know but honestly haven't updated it in a couple years. It's hooked up to a 23" Apple Cinema Display. I went to turn it on yesterday and the monitor did not come on. The comp appeared to be on, the normal sounds were coming from the machine- the eject button worked, the volume buttons were working, hard drive spinning etc. tried moving the mouse, hit space bar, etc.
    The LED light on the front of the monitor is on but no picture. I checked the monitor's manual and tried resetting PRAM, checked connections, made sure there was power to the monitor.
    Tried restarting the computer a few times, every time it was the same thing- starts up, normal operating sounds, Mac won't wake up.
    Called Applecare, they said the steady "on" light on the monitor indicates that it is not getting a signal. Probably a problem with the Powermac (which is not covered by Applecare). They told me to connect it to a different monitor and see what happens.
    I brought in my Dell 22" monitor and same thing happened except for a brief moment "Auto Detect Sleep Mode" flashes on the screen then it goes to sleep.
    So it seems that the Powermac is putting the monitor(s) to sleep right away at startup. Anyone know anything I can try?

    Hi-
    When the LED is "On", the display is "Off".

    You are sure that no flashing is occurring?
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88366
    Does touching the Power button on the side have any effect?
    How did you reset PRAM? Keyboard command?

    Try resetting the PMU/SMU:

    Can you boot in Safe Mode? To start up into Safe Mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
    -Be sure the computer is shut down.
    -Press the power button.
    -Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
    -Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
    -Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator

  • 23" Apple Cinema Display & 15" MacBook Pro?

    1) Any ideas on how to crank up the res on a MacBook Pro for external mirroring?
    A manager at my company ordered a 15" MacBook Pro & a 23" Apple Cinema Display for the purpose of Mirroring.
    When spanning, the laptop and the display look great (and both run in their native modes of 1920 x 1200 and 1440 by 900, respectively), but when mirroring is enabled, the MacBook video card acts like it can't power the 23" LCD properly. It wants to default both the 15" built-in display and the Cinema display at 1440 by 900 - which is unacceptable.
    2) Is it possible to close a MacBook Pro's lid and continue to power the external monitor without the MacBook sleeping?
    3) Is it possible to toggle the MacBook Pro's video signal to turn OFF the built-in laptop display and ONLY run on the external display? I remember older PowerBooks being able to do this. Many PC laptops will allow you to disable the local video and only send a signal to the external display (for presentations etc).

    1) Any ideas on how to crank up the res on a MacBook Pro for external mirroring?
    Mirroring is pixel to pixel. The MacBook only has 1440 by 900, so that's all it can show on the external display when mirroring.
    2) Is it possible to close a MacBook Pro's lid and continue to power the external monitor without the MacBook sleeping?
    Attach the power adapter and an external keyboard and mouse (bluetooth is OK if it's set to wake the computer). When you close the lid, the computer will sleep, but will wake (and continue to run with the lid closed) when you use the external mouse or keyboard.
    3) Is it possible to toggle the MacBook Pro's video signal to turn OFF the built-in laptop display and ONLY run on the external display?
    Not with the lid open, but if not mirrored, you can move the menu bar to the external display by following the instructions in the "Arrangement" tab of "Displays" system preference.

  • Apple Cinema Display Shuts Down under MBP Battery Power

    Just had the logic board replaced on my early-2008 MBP. Got home, connected to my Apple Cinema display, everything's fine. However, when I disconnect the laptop power source, the cinema display goes dark. I can click the mouse, my password prompt comes up, I enter the password and the display comes back for a few seconds, then goes dark again. If I wait more than a few seconds the laptop goes into sleep mode. Only when I reconnect the power does it come back to life. Not sure what the issue is, I checked all the battery and power settings, I don't have anything set to automatically go into sleep mode. Also went to the display panel, clicked "Detect". Still having the problem. Someone once before suggested checking the option to "Mirror" the displays, but I don't even see that option in the display panel any longer.
    Any suggestions?

    FWIW this has never worked with an external display while on battery power alone either in Clamshell mode or Mirroring/Extended Desktop - I thought the MagSafe was a requirement did it works without it before the replacement ??
