Microsoft Bluetooth NoteBook Mouse 5000 pairing problem with Mac OS X

On day one which was last week Friday, Sept 25, my BT mouse was working perfectly fine, just until this morning and last night it stopped working.
It does detect the mouse, it establishes connection but then I get an error message " The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. Make sure your mouse is in range of this computer, turned on and "discoverable" When ready click Continue to try again"
Any help will be appreciated, thanks..

I had the same problem. The cure is to boot off of the OSX DVD and when it attempts to find a mouse hold down the connect button on the bottom of the mouse. Keep holding it down until OSX recognizes the mouse. It may take a minute or two. After the mouse has been recognized you can exit before the installation requires software to be transferred. Then just select a normal reboot on the exit menu option.

  • Logitech V470  Vs Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000

    Hi ,
    I would like to go for a Bluetooth (must be transceiver free) laser mouse .Among the following models , which one wud be the best choice ..
    1).Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks with Bluetooth technology
    2).Microsoft Bluetooth® Notebook Mouse 5000
    Any suggestions from existing users of these models ...or any other model which is better than the above two ?
    Thanks,
    Nelson

    I also was debating between these two mice, as I previously had a Mighty Mouse Laser BT, and its tracking was terrible. I also bought a Gear Heads 1600dpi mouse, and while the tracking was excellent on it, I couldn't stand how long it took to come 'back' after the computer had been to sleep and it would go into it's own 'sleep mode' within 2 minutes of inactivity, causing a delay before using it again that was well over 5 seconds - very annoying!
    I wound up buying the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 because I happened to like it's design a bit more and because it's rated at 1000dpi rather than the Logitech v470's 800dpi (Yeah I know... not a big difference).
    Nonetheless, I have a Time Capsule running at 5ghz and a Linksys router running at 2.4ghz and I notice no lag or skipping that has been reported with the v470. The response time of the mouse is excellent, and there is no lag/delay when using the mouse after a short period of inactivity. When resuming my MBP from sleep it comes back to life in about 3-4 seconds, which is even faster than the mighty mouse was for me.
    This mouse is considerably better than the (much cheaper) gear heads mouse I had before. Interestingly the gear heads mouse is 1600dpi and does provide a faster and slightly more precise tracking experience, but it goes to sleep every minute I leave it alone providing for a very long delay before it resumes (sometimes up to 10 seconds!)
    Something to note: without installing a third party driver (like Steermouse) you will not be able to get the extra 'back' button to work in OS X; this annoyed me slightly when I first paired it.
    It seems that the Microsoft 5000 might be the better choice for those who stumble upon this thread looking for the same thing I was!

  • Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 continually drops and wont reconnec

    I have a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 thats a few years old, but with my new OSX 10.6 MacBook Air, it keeps dropping the connection to the mouse. I can't tell if its when i close the lid all the time, sometimes it wont pick it up even when i power the laptop down and back up, although the mouse is still on. Does anyone have any ideas, or recommendations on a travel mouse the same size that I should get that would work better with the new laptop? Wondering if its because the mouse is 3-4 years old, but i figure bluetooth is bluetooth right?

    I'm not sure how the Air handles bluetooth with the lid shut in regards to sleeping. After around 40 minutes the machine cuts off entirely so it will definitely drop the connection after that. Your batteries are fresh?

  • Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 and OSX 10.6 - Compatibility issue

    I've bought a new MacBook Pro (2,53 GHz, 4 GB RAM) and OSX 10.6.4 . With the old one (MBP 2,16 GHz, 1 GB RAM, still with OSX 10.6.4) the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 went perfectly.
    Now I'm experiencing a major compatibility issue: the same mouse, even with the same OS version but only a different MacBook Pro, won't be recognized.
    Bluetooth: activated
    Bluetooth firmware: latest
    Mouse: ON with batteries OK
    OPERATING SYSTEM: same (first restored via Time Machine and then updated with Apple Software Update)
    Suggestions?

    I went through many of the same frustrations as the members above...my mouse had been working after the upgrade and then when I set up for a presentation with a room full of teachers it wouldn't connect.  I replaced batteries, etc... so I resorted to the pad.
    When I got home i checked the batteries and tried to reconnect following all the "normal" steps until I read the comment above about removing the existing device in the bluetooth preferences.  Once I did that - the 5000 connected like a champ!  Yeah!  This is the one mouse that I have really appreciated, especially since both of the USB ports are side by side and don't allow for multiple USB connections from my "wide" cellular USB card.

    i am trying to connect bluetooth notebook mouse 5000 to tecra a8

    Eventhough it recognizes the mouse as a device cthe connection is
    not possible
    Any suggestions?

    I believe the Bluetooth stack shown in the spec above is for a Toshiba device like this one.

    You may need a driver from Belkin for your adapter.
    And this may be helpful.

  • Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000

    I have a Toshiba Satellite M60, supposedly Bluetooth capable and have just purchased this mouse and have followed the mouse's instructions but it will not communicate with my laptop. Bluetooth software on the laptop says that Bluetooth is not ready. How do I make it ready? Will this mouse work on this computer?
    Thanks,

    Does Toshiba offer a free download to allow my Satellite M60 to work with the MS BT 5000 mouse?
    Ok, I'll try again.  Unless you purchased a Satellite M60-S8112ST or M60-S811ST and at the time of purchase specified and paid for the internal Bluetooth hardware, you don't have the internal hardware.  There is no 'magic wand' download that will create hardware out of thin air.
    I don't want a USB add-on. I have no ports left to spare even with two extenders, so it would have to be a download of software or a free card that I could install myself. Would you happpen to know the answer?
    I cannot speak for Toshiba, but I strongly doubt that there is a card, free or otherwise, that will provide you with what you want. AFAIK, a USB adapter is the only solution.

  • Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 back button

    Ok, the thing has a long name, but its pretty cool. Does anyone know how to get the back button to be a back button, and not a scroll wheel click button? The software from Microsoft has a way to customize the scroll wheel click but not the back button click. Any ideas?

    What about using another mouse's driver? The mouse is awesome but I still don't have the back button working.

  • [Solved] Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse - Scrolling

    Hi All,
    I have been able to pair my Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 with my new installation of Arch.
    All buttons work, and mouse movement is fine. However. I have been unable to get the scroll to work.
    I have been trying to achieve this using hotplugging method. I have saved an fdi file at /etc/hal/fdi/policy/btmouse.fdi
    <deviceinfo version="0.2">
      <device>
      <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse">
    #   <match key="info.product" contains="macintosh">
          <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheel" type="string">true</merge>
    #      <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelButton" type="string">2</merge>
    #      <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelTimeout" type="string">200</me$
          <merge key="input.x11_options.XAxisMapping" type="string">6 7</merge>

        </match>
    #   </match>
      </device>
    </deviceinfo>
    I have looked through the forums and wiki and have been able to find little information regarding the scroll function of the mouse in hotplugging and what options correlate.
    The only info i have found is here --> http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Log … rble_Mouse.
    Could someone explain where i am going wrong...???

    Hi,
    I bought this mouse a few days ago, and it works fine, even scrolling. However, I don't use an xorg.conf file at all. Have you tried to get rid of it (take a backup of course first ) and see what happens? Also, although I tampered the fdi file for the synaptics touchpad, I didn't bother at all for the bluetooth mouse. Still, everything works fine.

  • Solution for MS Bluetooth Mouse 5000 pairing problem

    I had a problem with my MS bluetooth mouse 5000 pairing with my MacBook that I thought I should share. When I first bought the mouse, it paired with no problem at all. But after about 2 weeks it disconnected for some unknown reason. Thinking it was a problem with the mouse, I replaced the batteries, and even exchanged it for a new mouse. After going through the Mac bluetooth pairing process and trying out a number of solutions I saw posted on various bluetooth subjects, I could not get it to work - during the pairing process, it came up with various errors indicating that the pairing process failed.
    Finally, from another post, I did the following:
    - removed all references to the mouse in the bluetooth list under Open Bluetooth Preferences.
    - I then did a PRAM reset per Apple's suggested procedure (Command-Option-P-R during start up).
    Once this completed, I was able to get my mouse to successfully pair with my MacBook.

    I had the same problem. The cure is to boot off of the OSX DVD and when it attempts to find a mouse hold down the connect button on the bottom of the mouse. Keep holding it down until OSX recognizes the mouse. It may take a minute or two. After the mouse has been recognized you can exit before the installation requires software to be transferred.

    Hey Folks,
    I had this same problem. Played with all the setting mentioned here in the about:config page to no avail. Then, on a lark I decided to change my setting in the mouse driver from 2 lines per click to three lines per click, which happens to match what about:config is claiming it will do....
    Now it works.
    FYI my mouse is a Lenovo USB optical wheel mouse on a Thinkpad with ultranav and trackpoint enabled so... in short way too many ways of moving the pointer going on.

    Folks - I use a wireless mighty mouse and i had two different experiences. On my Mac Book and Mac Book Pro, no real issues except that boot camp itself doesn't recognize the mouse when booting and selecting a system to boot into. So i use the track pad and once in Windows (I use Vista), i click the mouse once and all is well.
    With the iMac, boot camp recognizes the moue but once in Vista, my wireless keypad doesn't work. i have a feeling that i need to use a wired keyboard to startup and then configure vista to recognize the wireless key pad.

    Somewhere at either Macworld or here I learned that DVDSP 2, DVDSP 3 and now DVDSP 4 "internally" are major re-writes.
    Support for HD among a few other items along with QT 7 which comes with Tiger means sincerely that one set of applications/OS is not going to be stable.
    Personally I think of all the issues possible its DVDSP vs QT.
    Unless you move to DVDSP v4 the alternative is to wipe the disk and go back to Jaguar (10.2) or perhaps Panther but avoid upgrading QT beyond 6. I advocate wiping the disk because I'n not sure an archive and install to down shift to an earlier version of the OS is possible. If it is I'd still worry about mis-matched files in all sorts of locations.
