My Bluetooth Mighty Mouse has totally stopped working

I have a bluetooth Mighty Mouse that seems to have stopped working. I was using it on a trip over in Guam. Then I came back to the states and it was in my suitcase/unused for several weeks with the batteries in it. Now that we have moved into an apartment, I would like to start using it again. But when I turn it on by sliding the little slider switch on the bottom, the little green light doesn't blink any more and it doesn't seem to be recognized by my computer. I have tried it with recharged batteries and other batteries, but no luck. Does anyone have a suggestion for me? I would really like to get this thing working without having to buy a new mouse. I have noticed that there is a little white tab just above where the batteries go. When the back cover is on, it appears that the slider switch somehow pushes on this little white tab. But with the cover off, this little white tab has some play in it (up and down) and can rattle around. Could there be something under this tab that is stuck down? Any advice would be appreciate! Thanks!

Hello ba:
No light=no power to the device.
If you happen to be near an Apple store, take the mouse in and have them try it on one of their systems. I do not think there would be any charge for that.

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse and Keyboard not working in Win XP!

    Hi All,
    I simply cannot get my Bluetooth Mighty Mouse and Keyboard to work in Win XP via Bootcamp! The bluetooth icon appears in the tray and even shows that they are connected but they do nothing at all. One thing to note is that they show up as connected but with no password. Could this be the problem? If I reconnected the two with new passcodes for XP, would they still work when I reboot in OSX?

    upgrading to vista sorted things out!

  • My HP Pavilion g6 has suddenly gone slow and the mouse has completely stopped working

    My computer has suddenly gone slow and the mouse has completely stopped working. The keyboard works on and off. I ran an HP PC hardware diagnostics UEFI which gave me this result:
    smart check: passed
    Long DST: Failed
    Failure ID: PLQ77T-00074B-MFPWWI-61FF03
    Can anyone please help?

    The hard drive needs to be replaced. Post back for purchase suggestions and installation instructions. 

  • Brand new Itouch has totally stopped working...??? is it the battery or is there a freeze/lock button that was activated?

    Brand new Itouch has just stopped working.....no response...battery seemed to be fully charged and then my daughter hit the button to shut the screen off..now no response whatsoever.....???

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't help, try a Restore.  From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad.
    There's more but let's take it in small bites.
    Also, read this.
    There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site.  If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.

  • Please Help.. HP Pavilion DV6 Notebook has totally stopped working

    Hi
    If anyone can help me I would be grateful. My computer just stopped working today and left me with a blank screen, when I try to turn on I just get the HP logo. I have run a hard disk and memory test and they both came back OK.
    I have my life on here and when I took it to the Geek Squad they said it was probably the hard drive and wanted tons of money to TRY and fix it.
    I have a blank black/blue page, I have removed the battery and tried a hard start, I replaced the battery, I do have a flashing caps lock light and my mouse pad is illuminated.
    I don't know what to do next and have my life on this computer including many family photos that cannot be replaced.
    Any help or ideas would be gratefully received
    Thanks

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse keeps freezing after upgrading to Leopard

    My bluetooth mighty mouse has frequent, intermittent freezes (which appear to be a loss of sync to the iMac) after upgrading to Leopard (now 10.5.1) from 10.4.11 on my iMac 24" alum body. This mouse was rock solid on my iMac running Tiger. Luckily I do have a corded mouse which I've been forced to use the past week or so.
    Can anyone suggest anything?
    Thanks.

    I was just trying to help my Dad with the same exact issue (Mighty Mouse stops working on waking from sleep & trying to open bluetooth prefs at that point causes the system to lock up. Have to hold down power button to reboot)
    Oddly I have Leopard on my iMac 2.16 Core 2 Duo and have no issues with my Mighty Mouse.
    Hopefully someone comes up with an answer .... My Dad is 80 and just bought a new Powerbook and Mighty Mouse. It's hard to explain why the mouse doesn't work.

  • HT1695 My Iphone5 has recently stopped working on wi-fi at home and bluetooth in the car.  I am able to connect several other devices to my wi-fi at home and my Iphone will connect to other wi-fi alternatively to my home.

    Hi
    My Iphone 5 has recently stopped working on my home wi-fi and my car bluetooth.  The phone will connect to other wi-fi devices but nothing on the bluetooth at all.  Other devices are able to connect to the home wi-fi.
    I have reset network settings and reset all settings. Still it wont connect to the home wi-fi or my car.
    I have since taken my car in for it to be checked by the garage and am having the same problems in my courtesy car.
    Short of throwing the phone out of the window any suggestions how I can fix it?
    I'm thinking it'll have to be a factory restore

  • Apple wireless mouse and keyboard stop working ... now says OS X version and bluetooth incompatible

    For no apparent reason my apple wireless mouse and keyboard stopped working. I was not upgrading or installing anything, the batteries are good, nothing was changed as far as I know. Now bluetooth discovers the paired devices, connects for about 30 seconds, the disconnects ... or stays connected but doesn't work.
    What's happenned ... I'm rushing to finish a big job ... any ideas? I've tried re-pairing but doesn't work ... says that OSX version may be incompatible with device bluetooth ... I'm using Lion so maybe there is another lion problem?

    Hello:
    Barry: What do you mean with "making devices favorites"?
    This is the method:
    Go to system preferences>bluetooth.  Highlight an item in the sidebar.  If detailed information does not appear, click on the little gear and select show more info.  Then click on the gear again and select favorite.
    And how could an hardware-related problem be (temporarily) solved rebooting the OS?
    Intermittent problems are, IMHO, most often caused by hardware.  Restarting will occasionally "fix" problems - why, I do not know.

  • Bluetooth mighty mouse laggy

    Is it just me, or are wired mouses more responsive. I've had to stop using my bluetooth mighty mouse because there just seems to be too much of a delay between when I move the mouse and when the pointer moves on the screen. Anyone?

    I get the lag when there is a lot of network activity such as copying a file across the network or when Time Machine is activated.
    I've tried changing the channel on my AirPort Express and it has helped but on some channels the wireless connection itself is less stable and keeps dropping periodically.
    I've yet to find the channel that gives me both stable wireless and no laggy mouse.

  • Using Bluetooth Mighty Mouse

    I have a new Mac Pro and a Macbook Pro. Can I use the same bluetooth Mighty Mouse for both computers? I tried pairing it with the second mac after it was already paired and it stopped working with the first.
    Thanks!

    It can only be paired with one computer at a time.

  • Mighty Mouse Has NOTHING Mighty

    Am I the only crazy one to think that either OS X or more likely Mighty Mouse is a drag...
    Right clicking with the index finger raised is one thing that one can get use to but it is more or less random whether OSX/Mighty Mouse understands that one have actually right clicked. Plugging in a logitec mouse takes care of the problem and right click remains a right click instead of a fifty fifty percent chance of getting the right click...
    I have 3 Mighty mice and they all show the same problem...
    My only question to Apple should they read this is:
    HOW HARD, on a scale from 1-2, can it be to NOT publish a hardware that SIMPLY does not work reliably...
    This is bad advertisement for your coming Iphone

    To ensure a right-click, I now click pretty close to the right edge of the mouse. Otherwise, the mouse often misinterprets it as a click.
    If the Mighty Mouse hadn't come in the box with my Mac Pro, I would not have bought it at all. Cheaper traditional mice work much better. The one innovation the Mighty Mouse has going for it is the scroll ball, but even then, Apple has pulled us back 10 years to where we used to have to clean the mouse ball or it would skip or stop working.
    The Mighty Mouse is one of those Apple products that causes the more religious and less reasonable Mac users to constantly apologize for and rationalize the Mighty Mouse's irrational behaviors. If the Mighty Mouse was a Microsoft product, the Mac religious would have slammed the design decisions as "typical Microsoft incompetence."

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse & Windows XP using Bootcamp

    Are there plans to add functionality for the bluetooth mighty mouse in Windows XP using bootcamp??
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   I run Bootcamp, as well as OS X

    I was able to get it to work in Windows XP. I was not using Boot Camp since I have a IBM ThinkPad T41p, but it should work the same.

  • I just brought my MacPro in for service and they replaced my hard drive. However, now my disc drive has suddenly stopped working! Is there anything I can do to fix this without having to take it back in for service, again!?

    The nearest service center is 2 hours from my house and my computer isn't under warranty anymore, so I need alternative options. I'm just frustrated that my disc drive was totally fine until AFTER I took it in for service. I just paid a lot of money for a new hard drive from the apple store and now my disc drive has suddenly stopped working correctly. I tried with multiple CD's and DVD's...loading a disc, but my computer would just make a weird loading noise and then eject the discs. Now it has started fighting taking the disc, so I have stopped trying. Is there anyway to fix this problem without taking it in for service again and paying another boat load of money?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    ShelbyMackenzieLynne,
    when you say that your disc drive is damaged, do you mean your MacBook Pro’s hard disk drive, or do you mean its SuperDrive (the CD/DVD drive)?
    When you’d updated your MacBook Pro to Mavericks, did the installation succeed, and subsequently freeze up? Or did it freeze up during the Mavericks installation?
    Which version of OS X was installed on your MacBook Pro before you’d installed Mavericks?
    Are you currently able to boot into the Mavericks recovery partition? To see if you can do so, hold down a Command key and the R key while starting up your MacBook Pro.
