Magic Mouse Unresponsive After Wake Up

This has happened to me the last few days and I'm starting to get worried. When I wake my Mac up from sleep mode, I have to do it with the keyboard becuase the magic mouse is asleep and doesn't wake up until about 30 seconds later. Once it's on it's fine but I notice that the green light underneath is off when I first wake up my Mac and while that in itself is normal it usually wakes up much quicker than it has last few days. The batteries are at 100% and it's late 2009 iMac with Mountain Lion loaded on it.
I should note that if I force it into sleep mode and quickly wake it up, it behaves normally. This unresponsive mouse issue usually happens when I wake it up from a long sleep (getting home from work or waking up in the morning).

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.*

  • Bluetooth Unresponsive After Wake from Sleep

    I have an issue where when my macbook pro wakes from sleep, the bluetooth mouse will not connect, and BT becomes unresponsive. Sometimes I can turn bluetooth off then back on and be OK, BUT 95% of the time, I have to restart the computer to get bluetooth back.
    After waking, the BT appears to be on, I get the popup on the screen which tells me "connection lost" with a picture of a mouse. I can open BT preferences and turn BT off, but nothing happens. I can even recheck "on" but it is completely unresponsive.
    Things tried:
    Allow BT to wake this computer is UNCHECKED
    in activity monitor I have forced quit BLUED, but BT does not come back.
    I have trashed the BT preference file Mac HD/library/preferences/com.apple.bluetooth.plist
    I have reset SMC and PRAM
    Tried a Logitech V470 and mighty mouse
    Fresh install of 10.6.0, then upgraded to 10.6.1, then 10.6.2 (using combo)
    Tried disabling steermouse, fresh batteries, holding my mouth right...
    When the BT is not responding, the BT name either changes to 2.2.4f3 (which is the Apple BT software version), or it says "name not available".
    Also in system profiler, when BT is not responding the BT "Hardware settings" section is missing. It starts with "services".
    This is driving me crazy. Could this be hardware related? I feel it is more software, since on restart, the BT mice pair perfectly and work great. The never randomly disconnect.
    This issue only happens when the computer resumes/wakes from sleep.
    Everyone please provide feedback. I am the only one with this issue? I have scoured the net, and find very little regarding this exact issue. I am within my 90 days from buying, should I call Applecare or is it a waste of my time?
    Thanks for your help,
    Jeff
    Spec's:
    mid-2009 aluminum uni-body, Intel 2.66Ghz, 4GB Ram, 320GB HD
    Snow Leopard 10.6.2 (Clean install to 10.6, then upgraded)
    Login items: Steermouse, PleaseSleep, and Windows Live Sync
    Also running at startup, but not in Login items: Paragon NTFS, Flip4Mac,
    MacFuse, LogMeIn

    I've got what sounds like the same problem with my new unibody MacBook Pro.
    I've had the problem with both 10.6.1 and 10.6.2.
    I also find that a reboot fixes things. In my case, I can sleep/wake multiple times with
    no problem, but once the BT goes unresponsive upon wake, every subsequent sleep/wake
    will suffer the problem until I next reboot.
    I also discovered that in my case I can re-pair the non-responsive devices (two flavors
    of Logitech mice and an Apple wireless keyboard) while in sick-BT mode and they will
    work until I next sleep/wake, whereupon they will again fail to connect and my
    choice is either to re-pair yet again, or reboot and have the problem go away, at least
    for awhile.
    I'm trying to correlate my activity with my BT going out to lunch, but have yet to narrow
    it down definitively. I have one or two data points that make me suspect it goes south
    after I use VMware Fusion (Version 2), but I cannot yet rule that one completely in or out.

  • 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.)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Mac Mini: Mouse unresponsive after sleep.

    Hello,
    I'm trying to help a friend with her Mac Mini.  For some reason the mouse is unresponsive after the computer sleeps.  I've tried using different mice to the same result.  I have tried using different USB ports to the same result.  Anything else plugged into USB is fine, its just the mice that are unresponsive.  The only way to resolve the problem is to force a restart.  The machine is stock running 10.5.1
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I just bought a Mac Mini with Leopard, using wired Mighty Mouse, and also have the problem of the mouse freezing after logout.
    I have found that the mouse will freeze if the logout confirmation button is pressed with the mouse instead of return. Scrubbing the mouse rapidly across the screen while the system is processing the logout causes the mouse to freeze up almost every time.
    The work-around seems to be to use return logout, and don't touch the mouse until the login screen is presented.
    This problem also occurred with a Logitech mouse, which is why I bought the wired Apple mouse. (In order to isolate the problem to Apple hardware or eliminate the problem.)
    I hope that this problem is fixed soon -- I've just switched over from Windows Vista and am downgrading my old Dell box to Windows XP, because I wouldn't give Windows Vista to my worst enemy!

  • 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?

  • 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...

  • USB mouse freezes after wake from sleep.

    Since the 10.8.2 update my Logitech USB mouse freezes after waking up the computer from sleep or when it goes into energy save from non use. This also happens to my brand new MBPR. I tries repair permissions and reset the smc. Any suggestions?

    I get a frozen mouse (Microsoft Intellimouse Optical) on my 2012 Mac Mini running Mavericks (it did it with Mountain Lion also) when waking from sleep about 75% of the time which works again if I unplug/replug it (light is on and mouse buttons work when it's frozen, but the pointer won't move).  It does this whether I use a built-in USB3 port, a USB2 hub and now also with my new USB3 hub. 
    However, my 2008 Macbook Pro also has an Intellimouse connected to it when docked and it NEVER freezes when waking from sleep whether using the built-in USB2 port or a Gmyle USB3 card port.  Either way, the mouse wakes fine and it's the SAME MODEL MOUSE and SAME OSX verison.  I have no idea why the inconsistency.  It ***** because "Wake on Network Activity" FINALLY works right here in Mavericks with XBMC on my Mac Mini so there's a perfect opportunity to save some electricity.  I got excited when it woke up two times in a row with 10.9.1 and set up my sleep controls only to find it wouldn't go to sleep with the Energy Savings menu because I have an external USB3.0 3TB media drive connected (at all times).  I finally found out (through more patient testing) that once the drive spun down (possibly on its own power saving timer as I'm not sure the "Shut down hard drives when possible" setting works in Mavericks; it was messed up in Mountain Lion in 10.8.4 and even though 10.8.5 fixed it, I'm not sure Mavericks is using the same code.  It doesn't seem to shut down any faster with or without the setting on and shuts off several minutes after the computer attempts to go to sleep (on a 1 minute test setting; I think WD defaults to 10 minutes in firmware). 
    Anyway, once that was resolved and I saw it would go to sleep eventually once the drive spun down (it will sleep instantly if I select SLEEP from the Apple menu which I find odd if it's such a big deal that it's connected....), I thought OH BOY!  I'm all set.  Then I woke it from that sleep and found my mouse was frozen again..... :-(  What a PITA to unplug/plug the mouse every time it wakes from sleep.  It's not worth it.  I'll just have to pay the extra few bucks in electricity each month I could have saved to avoid such a freaking nightmare hassle.  Why on God's Green Earth, Apple CANNOT or WILL NOT fix their darn energy savings features is just beyond me.  Instead of spending all their time making horrible horrible ugly icon/GUI updates to iOS and making it slower and slower and slower, why don't they actually fix some darn bugs in OSX for once in their lives.... I'm starting to think I should give Windows another chance I'm so annoyed right now.  But then I think about having to run a malware program and have that program update and Windows software/security updates 3x a day and I think I can just deal with the Mini not sleeping.....
    I'd like to know why Apple couldn't figure out those of us with multiple monitors would want a dock on BOTH monitors all the time either (first side-mount docks wouldn't migrate and now in 10.9.1, bottom-mounted docks won't migrate here either, leaving a dock on one monitor all the time and if that's the monitor that is showing full-screen video, you lost your dock completely while the video is playing.  They finally figured out after a full decade that having a menu bar on both screens would be a good idea, but it just didn't occur to them that the same is true of the dock.  How much are they paying these guys?  Too much apparently (or is it too little to attract talented thinkers? Nah, it couldn't be since we give them feedback and they just ignore it).

  • Magic Mouse Unresponsive since battery replacement

    So yesterday my Magic Mouse suddenly started losing its connection ("Connection Lost" icon displayed and MM would not move cursor) with annoying frequency.  Its indicator light and laser were lighting up, but I finally had to stop using it. Last night I left the MacBook installing the Magic Mouse software upgrade and the ITunes upgrade.  This morning the first thing on my MacBook was a "Magic Mouse Batteries Critically Low" message.  Hmmm....that must have been why the MM was losing its connection! 
    Sadly, after replacing the batteries and moving the on-off switch to "on," the indicator light does not light up.  Yes, I've checked to make sure the the + ends of the batteries are in the right place and yes, I've tried a different pair of batteries.  The MM battery compartment cover seems to be latched back into place properly. In the Bluetooth preference pane the MM still shows as "paired" but obviously it is not "connected" and cannot be "found."
    The MM is only a couple of months old so this is the first time I have had to replace the batteries.  Did I do something that killed the MM?  Any suggestions to revive it?  Is suddenly starting to lose connection every few minutes a symptom that the MM is on its last legs? 

    I, too, am having the same issues. Also changed the batteries, twice. Scrolling and clicking works, but cursor refuses to move.

  • Magic Mouse Disconnecting After every computer close

    Every time I close my laptop screen, even without restarting or shutting down the computer, the Magic Mouse is no longer working when I open up the laptop screen again. It wasn't doing this until I replaced the batteries when the batteries that were packaged with ran out of battery life. I have to turn the little button on and off and then go to Mouse and have it reconnect each time. I even changed it to a favorite, and that didn't help. What is going on?

    My problem was quite different, but perhaps this will help you under different conditions and its worth a try, nonetheless.
    I found that cleaning the battery contacts of both the magic mouse and the batteries themselves has eliminated my disconnect problems. I used a pencil eraser and rubbed the contacts with the eraser, then blew the crumbs out with canned air. Before doing this, I rubbed the pencil eraser on paper to get fresh, clean rubber.

  • Magic Mouse Jumps After Update to 10.6.8 - Help!

    Ok so I have updated my 2010 iMac to v10.6.8 and now my Magic Mouse randomly spazzes across the screen or is very slow to move. I have installed the supplemental update in the hopes of fixing the problem, also reset the PRAM and SMC, all to no avail. I've seen quite a few threads about this issue for Lion users, but have yet to come across one specifically for Snow Leopard users.
    If there is one and I'm just being blind, please feel free to point me in the right direction.
    If there isn't and there's something else someone with better knowledge of this kind of thing than I have can suggest, by all means let me know.
    Thanks in advance.

    Here comes the/my solution:
    Remove Sophos Antivirus
    Thanks to boojum's remarks in https://discussions.apple.com/message/15480849#15480849 !
    Don't forget to use Sophos' deinstall package: /Macintosh HD/Library/Sophos Anti-Virus/Remove Sophos Anti-Virus.pkg
    Nevertheless, some settings have been re-initialized (no complete list!):
    - Dock
    - Language has been reset to English only
    - Expose & Spaces
