MAGIC MOUSE & WIRELESS KEYBOARD - LOST CONNECTION

Hi guys,
I get confused why the mouse and the wireless keyboard lost it's connection from time to time. I cannot explain it and I don't know what to do except wait for it to reconnect. It's kinda annoying. Is this an issue with the software or something?
many thanks

This disconnection problem seems to be a major problem with anything Apple! I have had this problem for months now, as have others and have tried everything that has been suggested in this Forum, all to no avail.
On the assumption that may be, just may be, someone from Apple will read the myriad of problems associated with the constant disconnection of wireless products produced by/for them, they will get it sorted. But it has been going on for years it seems to me, and still there is no tangible work around or permanent fix.
I am reaching the stage where I will be throwing my MM out the window soon along with any of the other wireless connected items I have. (Keyboard, Number Pad, MM and Track Pad.) There just does not seem to be any answer that works permanently. Never ever had this problem when I used the Windows system and am getting a wee bit miffed that I changed from Windows to Apple. The most unreliable piece of kit ever to come out of a Computer Shop!!

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard lost connection when "command+space" is pressed

    Hi, my apple wireless keyboard lost connection when command and space key was pressed. it does not lost connection when other keys combination was pressed. Are there any people has the same problem with me?
    I am using Emacs all the time, the command and space key is the default short cut for Mark in Emacs. It is constantly used in my daily work. The wireless keyboard does not lost connection always, but it does lost connection sometimes. I have observed every time it lost connection, the command + space was pressed. Really strange. Any advice?
    I am using Macbook Pro 13inch Late 2012,  OSX 10.9.1, and Apple Wireless Keyboard

    Got the keyboard working again, here how incase it can help anyone else:
    I borrowed a USB keyboard to allow me to get past the pasword login.
    First I rang disk utitlity to repair any permissions. I opended up the app 'Bluetooth Setup Assistant' selected 'Keyboard' then I turned the keyboard 'on' so the green light is flashing' and then hit continue. At this point the keyboard appears in the listing of found items, hitting continue I am then given a unique pairing code. Enter this on the keyboard and hit 'Return' after a few seconds, the pairing is complete and by wireless keyboard is back and working again!

  • Wireless keyboard losts connection with key combination "FN + Command + b".

    Can anyone help?
    I'm wondering about the strange behavior of my Apple Aluminum Wireless Keyboard(A1255).
    Whenever I pressed the key combination "FN + Command + b", bluetooth connection will be lost.
    I sometimes press them by mistake, and I feel annoying.
    Is there any workarounds?
    Best regards,

    Well, it works today. Problem solved. Thanks for looking.

  • Wireless keyboard lost connection and blinks instead?

    I have had my wireless keyboard and mouse over a year and had no problems. I turned the system off last night like usual, and this morning when I turned it all back on I can't proceed past the login as the keyboard is not paring up and I just have a green blinking light next to the keyboard on/off switch.
    The batteries are okay, but to be sure I have recharged them, and the Bluetooth is working okay as the mouse is paired and working fine.
    Any help, advice or solutions out there?

    Hello,

    As far as I can see mostly Keyboards between Oct and Dec 2004 are involved. I would appreciate if Apple could have a careful look on this issue and take resp. actions as e.g. an extented repair or replacement program!

  • Mac wireless keyboard lost connection and i can reconect because I need a password to log in

    While I was playing team fortress 2 my keyboard suddenly stopped working, since there's no way to quit it without a keyboard I pulled the plug. After restarting my iMac the keyboard still wouldn't connect but there's no way I can troubleshot because my accounts require passwords. Any solutions? Do I have to take it in? Or can I use a wired keyboard and fix it from there?

    Connect a USB keyboard to the system.

  • Wireless Keyboard losing connection - Mouse acting funky

    I keep getting a "connection lost" message and then have to "wake up" the keyboard. I just changed the batteries in both the wireless mighty mouse & wireless keyboard. The mouse keeps getting very "choppy" and unresponsive, then straightens out after a few minutes. Also lots of keyrepeats. The problem has been here for a while but seems to be getting worse. All software & firmware is up to date. When I turn on the keyboard the light only stays on for a few seconds then goes out.

    There should be four tiny wires with round connectors, each labelled "1" "2" "3" and "BT". 1-3 are for the Airport card and BT is for Bluetooth.
    Try these pics to help you to identify the cable and the bluetooth module:

  • TS3048 wireless keyboard stopped connecting. Tried all remedies on forum, nothing worked. Keyboard blinks green, but not discovered by iMac.

    Wireless keyboard stopped connecting to iMac. Replaced batteries, restarted computer. Keyboard blinks green- cannot get steady green light. Computer does not recognize keyboard, nor connect. Tried deleting device and re-connecting, but keyboard is never seen by the Mac. Also tried same keyboard with a Macbook Air and keyboard was not recognized. other bluetooth device (mouse) works fine. Ideas?

    For now, try a SMC reset.

  • Wireless keyboard lost command and 0 - keys funktion

    Hi all,
    after quite some time of working with no problems at all my wireless keyboard lost the command - keys and the zero. There is no reaktion when I touch them. After a restart they work for some minutes and then they are gone again. What can that be. Working on a MacBookPro with 1.6.8.
    Thanks in advance for any tips and hints. I don´t think it is something with the keyboard hardware-wise because both command keys got lost simultaniously.
    Best regards - Christoph

    Hello:
    I tmight be that the KB failed... 
    However, try resetting the PRAM - it might help and cannot hurt.

  • TS3048 wireless keyboard will connect but pairing is unsuccessful

    My brand new wireless keyboard will connect but pairing is unsuccessful. OS X version 10.6.8. Any ideas of what the problem is?

    I'm a bit confused, the keyboard must be first paired in order to connect.  What do you see when you use System Preferences > Bluetooth > click the "+" icon to add a device.

  • Apple Wireless Mouse and Keyboard lose connection running games in Vista

    I installed Windows Vista Ultimate for playing games on my iMac. During games the *wireless Apple keyboard and wireless Might Mouse seem to loose connection at random intervals.* Looks like the bluetooth connection is lost (?, this is a guess). After 30 to 60 seconds the keyboard and mouse work again. This does not happen when using an USB mouse or keyboard.
    Any suggestions?
    All drivers are updated with driver suggestions form other posts.
    I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate on a 20inch 2,4GH iMac. Using Leopard Boot Camp. Wireless Apple Keyboard and wireless Might Mouse. All 2008 models.

    Found a post which said;
    always use a passkey for bluetooth devices in Vista using Boot Camp. Removed keyboard and mouse, reinstalled with passkey. Maybe this is helpfull.

  • My Mac was accidentally unplugged from the back of the computer when I restarted it the mouse and keyboard lost all connection and I cannot bring it back what to do?

    iMac was accidentally unplugged and I lost connection to the mouse and the keyboard and it will not reconnect. Need help.

    Get any usb mouse connected and open the Bluetooth pane in system preferences to re pair your Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
    You may also need a usb keyboard if your system is password protected.

  • Magic mouse and keyboard battery level fluctuation

    So, I have been using the aluminum 2-battery keyboard and mighty mouse, both about three years old, and I noticed today that the bluetooth battery indicator has been all over the place.
    I've been working solidly for about two hours, and happened to check the battery levels for both when I first turned them on: Keyboard - 55%, Mouse 94%. After working for around a half hour, I got an alert that the keyboard battery was low, and it read 19%. I ignored it, and a couple minutes later it was 15%. I kept working, and checked after another half hour or so, and the battery indicator read 94% for both the keyboard and the mouse, then I shortly got a low battery alert for the keyboard, and the indicator again read 19%. I also lost connection with the keyboard two or three times during this period.
    Running Mavericks on 2009 15" unibody MBP

    Most users have been observing unusual battery level readings since the 10.6.7 update came out. Like you, many users are reporting that their Magic Mouse and wireless keyboard battery levels are much higher than expected and much higher than they had been previously before the 10.6.7 update. I have observed this also. It seems to be some sort of bug and may eventually be corrected with a future update. It really won't cause you a problem and there seems to be nothing that can be done about it now from the user's standpoint.

  • Mac Mini: either Magic Mouse OR Keyboard won't pair at startup

    OK I'm stumped and apparently Apple Support is stumped too. I have a problem with my new Mac mini. It will not pair to both my wirelesss keyboard and Magic Mouse on startup. I have an old white "Wireless Keyboard," sometimes referred to as the Bluetooth Keyboard. It's about 6 years old, I purchased it in 2006 with a late Power Mac G5 Quad. It worked great.
    But now I just bought a new Mac mini, i7 2.7Ghz, running all current updates to MacOS X 10.7.4. I paired the new Magic Mouse and the Wireless Keyboard just fine. But on every reboot, the keyboard would not pair, it would always go to the Bluetooth Assistant and say no keyboard was attached. I would have to turn the keyboard power switch on and off, usually a couple of times, before it would recognize it. Sometimes I even had to go to the bluetooth menu item and manually Connect the keyboard.
    I called Apple tech support under warranty, we tried many things like deleting the bluetooth settings and recreating them, even turning the mini off and pulling the power cord for 30 sec (lol wut). But nothing would work. The Apple tech said, oh well, it's an old product, the higher level tech says it's not supported. Live with it.
    But NOW I have just the opposite problem. Sometimes my Magic Mouse won't pair and the keyboard will. So obviously there is no technical reason why this mini won't pair with the keyboard on boot, it IS supported. But invariabley one device or the other, either the keyboard OR the Magic Mouse will not pair at startup. This is particularly a pain if the mouse won't pair, I have to keep a USB mouse plugged in so I can use the bluetooth menu to Connect. Now this is insane. I have to use a USB mouse to connect my wireless mouse.
    So, Apple Support didn't have any ideas. Maybe someone else has some ideas. I don't see any reason why my new Mac mini won't pair with both bluetooth devices at boot time. It should work.
    Also I have a few gripes with the Magic Mouse, I'll toss those in too. Wow it burns batteries fast. I bought some Duracell NiMH rechargeables and a recharger, this added considerable cost to the product. But mostly I am having some sort of ergonomic problem. I am constantly doing something that causes the Dashboard to come up, even though I only have one finger on top of the mouse. I also occasionally pull up the "show all windows" feature of an app, which slows things down pulling up the windows unnecessarily and then me going back. I must be activating a two finger gesture with one finger on the side. I don't know how to prevent this, or even where I'd turn them off.
    But even worse, I am geting tendonitis or carpal tunnel syndrome or something, due to the way this mouse has to be operated. I have never had this problem in my life. It seems that I am constantly holding up my index finger so I can right click. This is causing strain in my hands, and soreness. You can't right click with both fingers on the mouse. Or at least, I have never been able to. I just don't seem to be able to run this mouse well. If anyone has some tips, I would sure like to hear them. I like the scrolling gestures but I hate how it right-clicks and how it accidentally double-clicks. Oh someone please help save my wrist and tendons!
    I liked the Mighty Mouse a lot, once I figured out how to clean the roller. But apparently it will not work with the Mac mini. I can pair it but it will only move up and down, it will not move the cursor left or right. Weird. I would use the old Mighty Mouse if I could get it to pair.

    I have exact same problem. Mid 2010 mac mini Intel core 2 duo. Have Trackpad and silver bluetooth keyboard (both bought about a year ago). Suddenly today, Track pad stops working, keyboard was fine. After much futzing with computer and keyboard/trackpad restarts, etc, I was able to pair the track pad, but keyboard is no longer found by the mini. Once trackpad is paired, I can use it as a mouse, but none of the trackpad configurations for gestures work, and things like dragging a window around the screen is choppy, indicating I would think a spotty connection between trackpad and computer.
    I also have a macbook pro that's about 3 years old, and both track pad and bluetooth keyboard pair up with this without any problem at all, so it's not the bluetooth devices.
    when looking at the console of the mini, I get PAGES of errors for today, with things like 'can't get battery percentage", [BNBTrackpadDevice] getReport returned error .... for reportID ...., thousands of lines of ***Missing version string for product ****
    Also, mini can't find the iPhone 3gs, the laptop or the iPad when trying to pair.
    I'd say there's an issue with the Bluetooth controller or hardware, but if anyone else has had a similar experience and fixed it, please chime in.
