Magic mouse, trackpad and bluetooth

So I've had my bluetooth trackpad and magic mouse for 6 months on my iMac.
All of a sudden the 'right click' on the mouse doesn't work. Strange. So I talk to a Mac specialist via Express Lane, and we reset the Pram. Everything works fine. Then two days later, the right click stops working. Reset Pram. Everything works fine. I do this another couple times and then decide this isn't the long term solution. I talk to a mac specialist at the apple store and they give me a new Magic mouse. So I Pram reset, and ow, the mouse isn't recognized, yet the trackpad continues to work fine. Help.

Got a new mouse from the Apple Store.  Works fine now.

  • MacPro Magic Mouse jumping and crashing

    http://d43.me/blog/476/mouse-cursor-skipping-jumping-bug-in-mac-os-x/

    If you searched you should have found you are not alone with that MM/Mac Pro problem.  Probably the biggest thread in these forums (22 pages) is this one:
    Poor Bluetooth reception and jerky mouse
    Summary, add your own external antenna or get a USB Bluetooth dongle.
    How far are your mice from the mac pro's?  Probably more than 3 or 4 feet  from the back of the mac pro is about the limit.
    Are there any wireless devices nearby (e.g., routers).  Sometimes they cause interference.

    You coud try smc and pram resets but it probably won't help.

  • Why does my magic mouse button and scroll surface not work?

    My MacBook Air 13" ran out of power before I could connect it to a power source. After I was able to power it on again, the Magic Mouse button and scrolling surface could no longer work even though I could still use the optical pointer below to move the cursor. How can I restore the button and scrolling surface. Have tried powering down and up both the MacBook Air as well as the mouse. Also tried unpairing and re-pairing both but nothing works so far. Thanks.

    Have you tried to edit your settings in Apple menu -> System preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse?

  • Magic Mouse Disconnects and Trackpad Unusable

    When the battery gets low on the mouse I turn it off, replace them but it doesn't reconnect.
    I use the MacBook Pro in clamshell mode with the LED Apple screen, so I open it up to use the trackpad... then I go into the Bluetooth settings and it says the magic mouse is connected... I try disconnecting it, or even removing it but all I get is a beach ball... some lag and nothing changes.
    Then the greatest thing of all happens... the trackpad stops working too.
    Now I am stuck with just a keyboard... might as well go back to DOS.
    You don't know how frustrating this is... especially because I love Apple... all I can do is force a shutdown... with all my data lost.
    I really can't use a mac as my working machine if this continues. I was even considering getting an iMac too but if the bluetooth stops working there too, I don't have a trackpad.
    Anyone can shine a light on this issue?

    I have this same problem for my 07 iMac. It just started this summer (2014). Nothing I do will reconnect the mouse except rebooting and then it connects right up. When this happens the mouse will connect to my Macbook no problem, but just will not reconnect to my iMac unless I reboot.

  • Bluetooth Apple Magic Mouse jumps and moves erraticlly on screen

    Hello,
    I am having problems with my Magic Mouse (cursor, pointer) jumping around on my screen when i attempt to use it. I checked preferences and the connection is fine. Has anyone else experienced this? And if so how do we remedy this annoying problem?

    I was about to post this same question and then I found this thread.
    Magic Trackpad was working great, I love using it.
    Then one day after a week or so of use it starts acting erratically.
    I assumed it was the batteries (although still above 70%) and changed them. Yet with fresh batteries reporting 100% it still refuses to take input and does its own erratic thing.
    I've had to switch it off constantly today because even when I switch to using the trackpad on my MBP (Core2duo Nov '06 model) the pointer jumps about on the screen and worse still "clicks", on things which causes mayhem.
    The suggestion of the USB power doesn't seem to affect me as all I have is the Apple aluminium keyboard plugged into my MBP. No other bluetooth devices being used or nearby. It's happened at 3 different locations too I can't blame interference from anything nearby
    Shame as I had thought Apple had finally produced a "mouse" that was worth of their brand and reputation.

  • Magic Mouse, Trackpad, Bluetooth not working after Mountain Lion install

    Is anyone else having the same issue after installing ML? I first noticed that my Magic Mouse didn't scroll as usual when I opened Safari.  When I went to preferences, it only gave me tracking & double-click speed options- no scrolling options.  I check the Accessibility preferences, but that didn't seem to help either.  When I tried my Trackpad to check the preferences, it said that one wasn't connected, even though that's exactly what I used to open it in the first place.  Now when I look at the top right hand corner for Bluetooth connectivity- it says Bluetooth- not available in a grayed out font. When I check out the About My Mac and check the Hardware->Bluetooth section it says 'No information found'.
    I've tried the SMC/PRAM reset, unclicked "Disable automatic login" option in Security & Privacy preference page.  Shut down my iMac and turned off the keyboard, mouce, and trackpad and restarted them after restarting the iMac.
    Now I can seem to find anything else to try.
    Does anyone have anything else to try?

    Hi There,
    I am having the same issues - is there a fix for it yet?

  • Is anybody else struggling with an intermittent connection when using the Magic Mouse/Trackpad ONLY on Boot Camp?

    Hi,
    I've seen thousands of posts about Bluetooth connection issues and interference and stutter/lag for both the Magic Mouse and Trackpad (affecting both Mac OS X and Windows under Boot Camp) but my problem is different.
    To summarise my setup, I use:
    - Retina MacBook Pro (lid closed or open, doesn't make a difference to this problem)
    - Thunderbolt Display
    - Wireless Keyboard
    - Magic Trackpad (have also tried a Magic Mouse and experience similar issues to the Trackpad)
    And in Mac OS X, everything works perfectly. The keyboard and trackpad work smoothly when I'm 6-7 metres from the machine, whether or not the laptop lid is open or closed, and whether or not the Thunderbold Display is connected.
    But on to my problem: the bluetooth connection is incredibly unreliable/intermittent when in Windows (I run Windows 7 64-bit and Boot Camp 4.0, and got both devices connected without any trouble via Bluetooth).
    But during usage, the cursor stutters/lags frequently, and tap to click (when enabled) seems to get triggered by mistake all the time (even when I'm not touching the Trackpad or even at the computer, clicks get registered).
    The Wireless Keyboard is perfect, and works well 5 metres from the machine. The Mouse and Trackpad, though, don't even work reliably when they are 6 inches from the machine. The built-in trackpad on the laptop works perfectly too, in Windows and Mac.
    I spent a week assuming I was suffering from Bluetooth interference, so I tried:
    - using the laptop with the lid open
    - removing the Thunderbolt display completely and trying the Magic Trackpad
    - repositioning items on my desk
    - disabling wifi
    All of these adjustments made minor differences to how good/bad the Trackpad was, but none came close to fixing the problem or making it work as smoothly as under Mac OS X. It was only after doing all of this that I realised perhaps it was just a Apple driver for Windows issue, so I booted into Mac OS X and tested everything out, and sure enough, it's all perfect. But back into Windows, the Trackpad doesn't work reliably at all.
    Obviously, the hardware is not at fault, and I assume the signal strength doesn't vary between operating system (why would it?) so I'm left believing this must be a driver issue. The TrackPad and Magic Mouse drivers have been out for a couple of years, so I'm surprised they can still be this bad. I tried both the latest driver from Boot Camp 4.0 (3.2.0.0) for the Trackpad, and also the older one from Boot Camp 3.2 (3.1.0.7) and both are equally bad for me.
    So my question is: has anybody else struggled with using the Trackpad (or Magic Mouse) with Boot Camp 4.0 and Windows 7 64-bit, whilst finding it to be perfect under Mac OS? I haven't found many posts complaining about the Windows driver, which is why I assumed it was an interference issue. But I'm almost sure it isn't, having spent 2 weeks investigating.
    Any thoughts/suggestions/answers much appreciated!
    Kyle

    SOLVED!
    After much testing, I have found the cause of lagging/jumpiness on the Bluetooth Magic Mouse and Magic TrackPad in Boot Camp. Hopefully this will help others:
    The drivers for the Broadcom 802.11n Wireless Adapter have a setting called "Bluetooth Collaboration" that is Disabled by default. Enabling this option removes the problem instantly. My Magic Trackpad now works flawlessly, even if I stand 6 metres from the machine. It now works just as well as under Mac OS. The setting can be found under:
    Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter (right click and choose "Properties". Under the "Advanced" tab, highlight the setting named "Bluetooth Collaboration", then change it to Enable. Then click OK.
    I narrowed the problem down to the wireless card by disabling ALL startup services and processes for Windows, then re-enabling one by one. As soon as I enabled the Windows Wireless Service, the problem came back. Similarly, disabling the Wireless Card inside the Network and Sharing Center (or Device Manager) removes the problem. This led me to believe it must be a driver issue with the wireless card, since the problem didn't occur with the Magic TrackPad under Mac OS, or on my mother's Windows 7 64-bit computer. So when I went into the Driver Properties to check for an update, I found this setting about Bluetooth Collaboration.
    I really hope this helps others trying to use Bluetooth devices under Boot Camp. All Apple notebooks use the Broadcom card (and have done for years), so this driver is installed for almost anybody using Boot Camp on an Apple notebook. I'd assume this problem would affect anybody using Boot Camp + wifi + a Bluetooth device.
    Cheers

  • 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 & Trackpad Malfunctioning

    My Magic Mouse and Trackpad are both malfunctioning ... They grab things (select and hold items) as they move across the screen and you can't get them to drop or release the items ... I can't tell you how many emails that disappear as the cursor moves down the page (the cursor selects them and deletes them) ... I've had to quit using my trackpad several months ago because of this problem, and go back to the Magic Mouse ... But now the magic mouse is as bad as the trackpad ever was ... I had to switch back to the trackpad just to write this question ... they both seem to be way too sensitive to the touch ... But the grabbing (selecting) items on the screen is getting worse ... Just writing this question, the text was selected several times as I type an disappears (I have to control Z and restore the screen). Has anyone else had this problem?
    I am using the latest OSX software on an iMac (27") ...
    HELP!

    Three things.

    3. You say you're using the latest OS X software but your profile indicates you are on Snow Leopard 10.6.2 so your claim according to what you posted is incorrect. If you have updated your Software please use Profile Update!

  • Share Magic Mouse, Screen and Keyboard between two Macs

    Hi folks,
    I'm considering buying a Magic Mouse for my work/studio-setup, mostly because of the way the touch and gesture features are implemented in Logic Pro X. Until now, I have used a Mac Pro directly connected to one DVI-display as well as a MBP. Both computers are also connected to a KVM-Switch sharing a second DVI-display and a wired Logitech Mouse and wired Apple Keyboard. I always liked this setup because I can switch between mouse and keyboard for the computers and the screen they share with the single click of a button on the KVM's remote control.
    Is there any way that is as simple to control as this that I could set this up using a Magic Mouse while making sure that I can still use all Apple-specific gesture and touch functionality? From what I have read some people are using Bluetooth-Dongles on their KVMs USB-Ports, other use Software like Synergy or ShareMouse. But all of these solutions seem to make the setup more complex or seem to make some of the functionality I would buy the Magic Mouse for unusable. Instead of having to install some additional software on my machines that runs in the background all the time and is prone to compatibility issues etc., I would prefer a solution that is based on hardware and uses just Mac OS system features. Also, a solution that takes more then a couple of seconds to switch everything (KVM) between systems is not of practical use for my workflow. I would very much appreciate any hints or experience on this topic that you can share.
    Regards,
    Michael

    Automatic does not work for me on this particular task. . My primary computer is an iMac. On travel I use a MacbookPro. I want the MacbookPro to have the same Contacts list as the iMac. I am logged into iCloud on both computers. The MacbookPro needs to be syced. On it I logged out of icloud, and in doing so I chose to delete files from the computer. Then I logged in again to icloud. That put a lot of additional lists of groups into the Contacts, lists that are not on the iMac. But some individual pages are not updated to match the iMac.
    I tried to manually copy (and overwrite) the various files on the MacbookPro that seemed to deal with the Contacts, including
    my Library/Applicatiion Support/AddressBook
    my Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
    They are still not the same.
    On my Macbook I unchecked the Contacts, which deleted them and checked them again. This now deleted all of my groups and the individual ones are not synced with the iMac.  
    So now I have had three different versions of Contacts on the Macbook, as I manipulated turning on and off iCloud, and not one of them has been the same as on iMac.
    How do I get the Macbook contacts to be the same as on iMac?

  • Magic Mouse works but bluetooth won't discover it!

    I'm able to use my Magic Mouse with my PowerBook. However, when I go to set up the options for the mouse, it tells me that bluetooth hasn't found it and the utility keeps looking and looking for it.
    How do I fix this?

    Its possible you already have the latest version in which case I can't help, but just in case here;s Apple's support document and link to the download.

  • Using Magic Mouse without a  bluetooth enabled Mac Pro?

    Is there a solution to use the Magic Mouse since I don't have a bluetooth enabled Mac Pro??

    Buy one of the small USB adapters by Belkin that support bluetooth. The only catch with my Magic Mouse has been that you have to leave the computer on -- do not let it go to sleep. Once it sleeps, you have to go back to your USB mighty mouse, restart the MP, and then you will have full access to your Magic Mouse again.
    This is not an issue for me since I leave the Mac on all the time. It puts the display to sleep, the hard drives to sleep, and everything else to sleep, except the machine itself. It works, and it's easy.
    Another catch with this setup is that it does not seem to work on Bootcamp in Windows 7, but the USB mouse seems to take care of that archaic OS just fine.

  • Magic Mouse connectivity and now clicking issue

    Had my Magic Mouse for a few years now and it worked perfectly well up until about 12 months ago. It suddenly started to lose connection at random intervals (no it's not the batteries or the terminals) that annoyed me but I got on with it. Now though it seems to of seized up! It was jumping all over the place, selecting things I hadn't clicked and then seemed as if the right click was permanatly engaged. Now it's just not clicking at all which presents a problem in that I can't wen access the settings tab to try and fix it!! Tried taking the batteries out, no change. Restarted the computer manually, no change, changed the batteries even though they were reading 100%... No change. I'm a student again now, I can't afford £60 for a new mouse, especially after reading the thousands of threads about how bad they are!

    "Few years"
    What makes you think that a mouse ( or anything else) lasts forever?
    "Thousands of threads?"  That us quite an exaggeration and clearly not accurate.
    Buy a new one.
