My magic mouse just stopped working

My magic mouse just stopped working. I have rebooted the iMac and changed the batteries. Nothing is fixing it. What do I do next? When I turn the mouse on the green light on the bottom stays on for a few seconds and then flashes twice, pause and repeat.
On a side note. I just brought home a MBP about an hour before the issue. I turned bluetooth off on the MBP but could it be the problem? It was working fine with both machines on for about an hour.

OK somehow after a couple restarts it fixed itself. ANy idea on why it did that?
Thanx for any help

Why has my magic mouse suddenly stopped working? I'm using 10.6.8

We can't know. You have not told us what exactly the problem is. If there are any warnings, you need to provide them along with other info like the crash logs. If not you have to explain the situation in more detail. Just saying that it doesn't work anymore is not particularly useful.

Mouse just stopped -

I've read thorough a lot of the responses here but still having a problem. My mouse just stopped working - batteries are fine, I trashed the preferences, SMC and still no change. No changes in programs or anything at all. Just that I put machine to sleep over night instead of shutting down which I usually do. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi again:
I'm full of questions, but I do not want to waste yoru time.
Is the Bluetooth icon showing in the menu bar?
If so, do this (although you have done some of it before).
Trash the preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restart.
Reset the SMC:

Turn the mouse off. Restart and then turn the mouse on.

P.S. I suppose the mouse could have died. If you are close to an Apple store, you might try it on one of their computers.

NF 980 PS2 Mouse & Keyboard PS2 IC just stopped working.

Hello, My PS2 Mouse & Keyboard intergrated circuit connections just stopped working. My Rig is only 6weeks old & was using Win 7 Ultimate 64bit. Everything was fine untill yesterday. all of a sudden the connections don't work. I tried doing a system restore. rebooted several times, unplugged & reconnected both mouse & Keyboard plugs to the PS2 connections & still not being recognized at boot up. I plugged in a USB Mouse & Keyboard adaptor & is working fine. I'm thinking something happend to the IC chip. Are these Mobo's known for this problem? I don't think I'm going to RMA the Mobo unless something else happens.
Please let me know what you think. Thanks.

Hey Fredrik,
Thank you very much. All I did was shut down & remove the power plug like you suggested & removed the USB Mouse/Keyboard adaptor, & plugged back into the PS2 IC Connections, & it's working great.
Could you explain what happen?
Hi,
Keyboards and mice have electronic circuitry. When you just reboot or reset the machine, voltage still goes to the peripherals like the keyboard and mouse.
It sounds like, for some reason, the keyboard and mouse got into a non-working state, but when you rebooted or reset your machine, since power was still going to the keyboard and mouse, they didn't get reset.
When you unplugged the power, that removed power from everything (well, almost), including the peripherals, so that would've reset the keyboard and mouse.
If you have an external/USB hard drive, you can see this behavior by watching the drive light. When you shutdown your machine, the drive light will stay on, unless you unplug from the wall, or flip the switch on the back of the power supply.

Help? My BT Wireless just stopped working (BT Mouse is OK)

Normally the wireless keyboard that came with the iMac (intel) is reliable, its about 4 yrs old now
but today - it just stopped working?
Although it shows (menu) as being connected (BT) and Batteries are at 100%, I can no longer get
keyboard output... and this applies to any running application.
Its not been dropped or mistreated - its just stopped working. I have restarted the iMac but to no avail.
I am using the older USB Keyboard as a stop gap.
My queries are;
     1. Has this keyboard just simply worn out or developed an internal fault ??
     2. Has anyone else experienced this or had similar problems ??
     3. Is there some way I can check the integrity of the BT or the Keyboards communications with the iMac ?
All help to solving this problem - will be most appreciated
Running Mac OSX 10.9.4 on Intel iMac (2CD) 8GB RAM

Hi Barry.
Thanks for your response.....
As mentioned I did restart the iMac which I believe also resets the PR (chime) during that process.
However I will try specifically zapping the PR - several times like the old days and Mac OS 9.
and come back to you

Magic Mouse no longer works on desk surface (varnished wood)

My magic mouse used to work fine without a mouse pad, but recently has become almost non-functional. As I move the mouse around on a varnished wood surface, it now seems to lag badly, almost stopping completely despite contined movement of the mouse. I've tried trashing the prefs, uninstalling MagicPrefs, reinstalling MagicPrefs, dumping MagicPrefs for BTT, etc. Nothing seems to work. I do have to regularly clean the plastic tracks on the bottom due to a buildup of dust, etc, but that, too, does not improve my performance. Does anyone have other suggestions for how to fix this problem? It would be a shame to have to use a different mouse.

WildBill,
I'd use a Q-tip and clean the laser light and sensor. Try new batteries (not rechargeables) and look for anything causing interference on the 2.4 mhz band.
I had this problem with a mighty mouse where it would only track on magazine or something with lots of color variation. I eventually just replaced it.
Regards,
Captfred
Edit: One addition thought. If you use the program USB overdrive, it's known to cause conflicts.

Double Click on Magic Mouse No Longer Works after 10.9.1 Mavericks Upgrade

I just recently updated to Mavericks 10.9.1 and once the computer restarted, I noticed that double-click on my Magic Mouse no longer worked. I searched the forum and couldn't find anyone experiencing this. I also went into System Preferences --> Mouse but there is nothing about enabling double-click or adjusting double-click speed on there.
Would appreciate if someone were able to help me solve this. Thanks!

Try resetting the PRAM.
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

VPN working fine.... then just stopped working!

Have posted this before, but was hoping that someone out there has experienced the same issue.
I setup the VPN on 10.6 McMini server and it worked really well for several weeks. Then all of a sudden (without any changes being made to the server) it just stopped working!
I cant get a VPN connection either on the internal network (so no routers involved here) or from external clients. Both of these worked before. Im convinced its def something to do with the server.
The error I get is PPP Server could not be authenticated.
Have tried restarting server, stopping and starting VPN service, turning L2TP and PPP of and on again, changed the shared key.. Checked the DNS with changeip and that is all good....
Hopefully soemone out there will be able to shed some light on this for me...
Here is the log from the VPN :

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.

Hi bsruff,

Exposé and now gestures just stop working?!?

Hi everyone,
   So I had this issue in Snow Leopard where occasionally, in the middle of the day, Exposé, Spaces, and my Hot Corners would just stop working for no apparent reason. Seems to always occur after I return from lunch.
   Well, today I upgraded to Lion, and this afternoon am having the same issue, only this time more pronounced. Absolutely NONE of my Magic Trackpad gestures are working now. They do work within applications, but I can not invoke Mission Control, Exposé, Launch Pad, or desktop switching from my Magoc Trackpad. I do not have this same issue with my home machine, (a same - generation 8-Core Mac Pro).
   I should add that the trackpad is a recent purchase (just this past Friday), but the seemingly identical (SL) Exposé issue was presenting itself long before.
Any thoughts?

Really? Nothing? C'mon guys... I can't be the only one to be having this issue...

My magic mouse does not work with OS X Mountain Lion?

My magic mouse does not work the direction of vertical displacement with the update OS X Mountain Lion?

You are correct that you cannot install version 5.x of the AirPort Utility on OS X Mountain Lion. However, once installed it will run just fine. One workaround is to extract the utility directly from the disk image (.dmg) file.
Here are the basic steps to install version 5.6 under Mountain Lion using CharlesSoft's Pacifist:
If you haven't already download the AirPort Utility disk image file directly from Apple Support Download
Place the resultant AirPortUtility56.dmg file onto your Mac's Desktop.
Run Pacifist.
Click on the Open Package option. Find the disk image file that you just placed on your desktop, and then, click on Open.
The utility is located as follows: Contents of AirPortUtility56.dmg > Contents of AirPortUtility56.pkg > Contents of AirPortUtility56Lion.pkg > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6.app
Drag AirPort Utility 5.6.app to your Mac's /Applications/Utilities folder.
You can now run the AirPort Utility from the Utilities folder.

Touch Pad Just Stopped Working Completely

Hello this morning my Sony Vaio fit 14 (Model Number: SVF14N13CXB) touchpad just stopped working all of a sudden. No mouse pointer, nothing! Luckily I have a bluetooth mouse. I reinstalled the driver and still nothing. I even did a system restore and still nothing. Could someone please help me with this? Thank you Bounce P.S. I have had this laptop for 7 months (bought it in January of this year - 2014) EDIT (Update): I shut my computer down and left it for a while. Turned it back on and my touchpad is working again. I don't know how, but I am thankful. I did a restart when I was having the issues but that didn't solve anything. the shut down seems to have solved it.

Hi 48yZAb84,

Kindly follow the steps here for further troubleshooting: https://us.en.kb.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/45264/c/65,66/kw/45264

Magic Charger for the Magic Mouse doesn´t work

Hi,
I´ve recently did my first purchase on the apple store,
I´ve bought the magic charger from mobee for the Magic Mouse,
which has been working all good with the normal batteries,
but since I´ve install the new magic charger batteries I just can´t make
work the magic mouse, I´ve plug the magic charge into a usb from the iMac 24"
I´ve wait almost a day so tha the Magic Mouse charge the batteries than
when I switch on the Magic Mouse doesn´t work, the green light from Magic Mouse stands off,
so obviously the bluetooth from iMac 24" doesn´t recognize Magic Mouse,
¿Any suggestion?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi Allan Jones,
I don´t know under with authority you´ve answered this thread,
but and don´t get me wrong, your message was completely worthless.
Since I did a purchase on the apple store, the apple store should answer
for every inconvenient with the product than I did purchase, and as Apple
is a big multinational who cares for his customers, they did so Apple store sended
special transport to my home to get the malfunctional Magic Charger and than
they send me a new one which seems would work fine.
Thank you very much in advance.
