Magic Mouse Won't Connect!

I had a magic mouse that worked perfectly. I have had it since it came out. For some reason, my mac changed the Time Machine hard drive to a different one, so I deleted what had saved to the wrong hard drive, and changed where it should back up. It would not delete, so I reinstalled Snow Leopard like I was told. Then, my bluetooth magic mouse stopped working. I tried to reconnect with the "find bluetooth mouse" but that didnt work, so I tried deleting it as a pair with my computer and tried again. Still nothing. Then I searched for any bluetooth device. Nothing. I searched for the "wireless mouse software 1.0" but once the snow leopard version downloaded, it said there was an error with my hard drive. I tried the Leopard version, and it said that a newer version was installed on my computer already. I am currently using the latest version of snow leopard with an iMac with intel. What do I do?

Turn the mouse off. Turn the mouse on. You should see the green light start blinking on the mouse by the switch.
Wait a couple of seconds, then click the mouse.
If it doesn't connect automatically, go to the Bluetooth preferences. Delete your mouse from the left panel, if it's there. Press + to open the Assistant, and click the mouse again. Is the mouse detected?

  • My magic mouse won't connect to Yosemite 10.10.2 I've tried 2 different mice with the same outcome.

    I have an early 2013 MBP with Yosemite 10.10.2. Connectivity with the magic mouse has steadily gotten worse, now it won't connect at all. I've tried connecting with two different mice, one about 5 years old and one about 2 years old, both with the same result. Any one else have this issue?

  • Apple Magic Mouse won't connect

    I have a magic mouse and it won't connect to my macbook pro retina display. I dont know where there is a file i need to delete and if i need to do that where and how do I find it. Thank you.

    Be sure Bluetooth is turned on.
    Has the mouse been connected to something else?  If so, it needs to be deleted from that device first.

  • My magic mouse won't connect automatically anymore...

    I'm not sure where this fits, so I decided to post it here.
    Anyways, I've had my iMac since early January and it came with the Magic Mouse. It's been working fine up until 20 minutes ago when it disconnected itself. So, I turned it off and turned it back on and it wouldn't connect! Now, if I want it to connect, I have to plug in a different mouse so that I can manually click "Connect".
    This has never happened before and I don't know why it's started now. I've tried un-pairing and re-pairing the mouse but that didn't solve the issue either. Anyone know the solution?

    I have the same problem here. It started a few days ago and so far no luck fixing it. I am going to try a different Magic Mouse and see if that works. I will report back when I get a chance to try it.

  • Suddenly my magic mouse won't track properly, can anyone help?

    Suddenly my magic mouse won't track around the screen properly, can anyone help? It was working fine then it started sticking. It scrolls from top to bottom fine just the on screen movement is effected. The battery is showing 100%, I've changed the fast/slow slider all the way to the right which has helped a little and unpaired it from bluetooth then re-paired it, did an SMC shut-down, cleaned ball, battery points but it still does not feel totally right? Am I missing something?

    hi, i had the same problem.
    i just put my mac into sleepmode
    apple logo left corner --> first option above restart
    then i connected my magic mouse ( holding the button)
    and then it worked
    i hope it is working for you too

  • Magic Mouse won't work in Windows 7 anymore

    Hey there,
    I've got an iMac running OS X 10.6.8 and Windows 7 via Boot Camp. I just updated a bunch of the Apple stuff on Windows -- iTunes, Quicktime, "boot camp" (I assume that meant drivers and such), and whatnot. Now my Magic Mouse won't work in Windows 7. It was fine before, so I assume the update screwed something up. Help? I know nothing of retrieving old drivers and stuff like that.
    Note: I am running Snow Leopard, NOT Lion.

  • Magic mouse won't scroll on snow leopard

    I bought an imac two weeks ago (snow leopard)- and my magic mouse won't scroll! I do not seem to have the USB overdrive installed, I have all the latest software! Help!

    The ball is dirty, they have a history of accumulating dirt and grime on them so that's my best guess. When I used one what worked well was rolling the ball very very vigorously on a white sheet of paper on a hard flat surface. Do this for about 60 seconds then see if that took care of it.
    NOTE: My error I misread and thought you wrote Mighty Mouse. Please disregard.

  • Does anyone know why a magic mouse won't scroll in calendar in mavericks?

    does anyone know why a magic mouse won't scroll in calendar in mavericks?
    It will scroll in a window that has an indicator scroll bar on the right side but not in the new seamless calendar view. The built in trackpad on my mid 2012 macbook pro will scroll.

    or uninstall those mpkgs
    Yes.

  • First BT keyboard, now BT mouse, won't connect

    Yesterday my Apple BT keyboard wouldn't connect. Flashing green light on kb. Changed batteries, no difference. Deleted pairing. When creating new pairing, it sees the keyboard but can't receive the pairing code. I read the forum here, figured I wasn't alone and that there'd be a fix reported here shortly, and decided to be patient.
    This morning my Apple BT mouse also won't connect. Deleted the existing pairing, but it won't connect to create a new one. Both mouse and keyboard are about 18mths old. It's not batteries or battery contacts - both are in good condition.
    I'm running Apple Bluetooth Software Version:     1.6.0f2 on Mac OS X 10.4.2 (8C46)
    Halp!

    Hi Alan:
    I had a similar problem (once) with my BT keyboard. I tried all the trouble shooting things but it got to the point where it gave me a code but then would not accept it. Here is what I tried (may or may not have 'fixed' the problem. I shut my computer down. I unplugged all USB devices (this is a workaround for a missing BT - not your issue). I walked away for awhile. I restarted, repaired the devices (the keyboard code was accepted, and the problem has not returned).
    As I said, I have no idea why this worked - and I do not believe in magic!
    I do not think both devices would be faulty - although anything is possible.

  • Magic Mouse no Longer connects via BT

    Hello All!
    I have a MBP, 2.4GHz with Intel Core 2 Duo and recently upgraded to OSX 10.8.
    Since the upgrade I have been having great difficulty in getting my Magic Mouse to connect via BT.
    Previous to the upgrade everything worked fine, the mouse would wake the computer and connect with out any issues.
    After the upgrade the mouse will not wake the computer and will only connect after I restart the computer, well that was yesterday restarts today aren't even working any more.  My BT keyboard works fine and I have no problems with waking or connecting via the BT keyboard only the mouse.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
    Update:
    I just finished repairing Disk Permissions - No Help
    Turning Blue Tooth off then back on - No Help
    Trying to manually connect the mouse - no help
    New Batteries - no help
    Reset the SMC - no help
    Reset the PRAM - no help

    I'm now on 10.8.2 and things seem to be better but not completely resolved.  After installing the last update I deleted my mouse, restarted the computer and then paired the mouse again.  Things are much better, my mouse will wake the computer now but only if the computer is asleep for a 'short' period of time.  Overnight it won't wake or connect, I generally need to use the track paid, go to the BT icon & select my mouse then hit connect.  That seems to get things going but it's still a pain.......
    At least I don't have to restart the computer every time.....

  • Magic Mouse won't scroll or swipe in email window, but works perfectly in Safari window.

    My Magic Mouse suddenly won't scroll or swipe in the email window, top or bottom part of the window, but behaves normally in the Safari window.  Replaced the Mouse batteries, 100% power, no difference.  iMac is 2008, pretty old, but was updated to 10.10.3 a month ago.  Bluetooth icon in upper right part of screen indicates Bluetooth is ON, and the Mouse is connected, as evidenced by proper operation in Safari.  No recent upgrades/changes to email that I'm aware of.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I set up the new iMac with a time machine back up from a much older iMac, has this caused the problem? iCloud drive works perfectly on my macbook pro. Thanks for any advice.
    Then check, which MacOS X version your new Mac is running. To be able to use iCloud Drive, the system needs to be Yosemite, MacOS X 10.10.x
    To check the system version, click the -menu un the upper left corner of the Display and use the command -About this Mac.
    If you are running an earlier system, use upgrade to Yosemite from the App Store.
