Optical Bluetooth Mouse will not Pair in Snow Leopard 10.6.1 on MBP5,5

I have this mouse, with full batteries, just now tested and working on Windows XP with another laptop, and with an older MacBook Pro running 10.5. I can see this device in the Bluetooth set-up, and when I click Continue, the window shows a connection established, then another connection, and then an error that the device could not be paired. I tried every type of Password Options, including setting as 0000 and 1234. I have no other Bluetooth devices to test with either.
IOGEAR - GME225B - Bluetooth Optical Mini Mouse
I followed the instructions from other posts, but still cannot pair the mouse.
-Deleted Macintosh HD>library>preferences>com.apple.bluetooth.plist
-Reset PRAM with Command-Option-P-R keys at boot
-Installed Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0 for Snow Leopard
Nothing works, but I know for sure that this mouse does work, and that it has worked on previous versions of OSX and other MacBooks.

I have the same issue. Same mouse. Its definitely snow leopard. I have 2 macbooks that use that mouse that were upgraded to snow leopard from leopard. On one of them I had deleted the mouse and encoutered the same errors trying to add it - it worked on my other machine. But then as a test (bad idea) I deleted it off the other machine and was also unable to recreate the connection thereby narrowing the issue to snow leopard. I have tried pretty much everything for hours. Deleting pllist file, smc reset, nvram etc... I think I have to wipe off the machine and install leopard again and start from there

TS3048 mouse will not pair

MS Bluetooth Notebook Mouse will not pair with macBookpro. tried all things. is recognized but will not pair. new batteries, rebooted, reset pram. it worked until i removed it by mistake. OS 10.8.2. Only thing I can think to do is throw it aganst the wall, but that will only mean that I'll need to buy a new mouse and start all over. Hoping someone has a better idea.

Hello:
Try deleting the mouse from the system. Turn the mouse off. Reset SMC (which is also a restart. Turn the mouse on and, hopefully, it will be found by the system.

Magic Mouse will not pair (OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1)

All of a sudden my Magic Mouse will not pair. Very annoying!
I have changed the batteries, several times, so the light is on on the Magic Mouse.
I have opened System Preference/Bluetooth. I can see that it is searching for devices but it is not connecting to the Magic Mouse.
I currently have a Apple Wireless Keyboard and have paired an Ultrathin Touch Mouse in the interim, but I want my Magic Mouse back.
Can someone please help (in a language that I can understand) with this issue.
Thank you so much.
Cheers
Breeze

Try a PRAM and SMC reset of your Mac.
You may need to use an Apple Wired Keyboard to perform the PRAM reset.

Targus bluetooth mouse will not connect in bootcamp

I have a Targus blueetooth mouse that will not connect in bootcamp. It has worked fine for a long time in XP and 7. Then I upgraded the haddrive and had to do a lean install of Windows 7 and the Apple bootcamp 5. Now it will not connect at all. I have the "Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth" seleted , it sees the mouse but it tries to connect and just stalls. This is very frustrating since without the mouse it is nearly impossible to troubleshoot Windows.

Bluetooth mouse will not connect my wireless mouse...
what works +every time+ for me :
use your fingers to move the cursor up to the bluetooth icon (top right of display)
click bluetooth icon, select user mouse / connect
then quickly move the cursor up (with fingers) so it touches or is very close to the bluetooth icon
and start clicking with your mouse (making sure the mouse is on obviously).
I have NO idea why but this works on my MacBookPro everytime. If I try to connect without moving the cursor near the BT icon it won't connect (or takes at least 10 trys).

HP X7000 Wifi Mouse will not pair since I upgraded to Windows 10

I upgraded to Windows 10 yesterday 29 July 2015 and now my HP X7000 Wifi Mouse will not pair with my laptop HP Pavilion dv7.

I have the same issue. I upgraded today and I have to use the built-in touchpad on my HP ENVY 17 instead of my HP X7000 Wifi mouse. From the looks of it, HP hasn't updated their drivers/software to support Windows 10. I am not very happy with HP - my ENVY 17 gets insanely hot in the palm rest area to the left of the touchpad, and now this wifi mouse doesn't work with Windows 10. 2 big negatives that will prevent me from buying HP in the future. The HP Envy 17 temperature issue is well-known among us customers that have to deal with it. Come on, HP - support your products!

My iMac will not boot through Snow Leopard but will boot through Windows OS

My 2010 iMac will not boot in Snow Leopard, only Windows. Have tried reinstalling Snow leopard a few times and works only for a couple of minutes before freezing and doesnt reboot. Windows works perfect. Snow leopard just doesnt want to boot up past the Apple Logo. It was working fine one day and the next day it froze up and was able to reboot back into Snow Leopard but kept freezing. Now it doesnt load at all into Mac OS.

Possible scenarios:
1: The 10.6.3 SL retail disk is bad, it happens.
2: Your not using the 10.6.3 SL retail disk but one from another machine which doesn't have the drivers for that machine.
3: Your optical drive is funky or some other hardware issues.
4: Your trying to install 10.6 onto a PowerPC based Mac, no can do.
5: Your not using a wired keyboard for boot key commands, have some other hardware conflicts.
Possible solutions.
1: Copy the SL 10.6.3 disk using Disk Utility to another DVD, the error checking may resolve the original disk's issue.

2: Make a SL bootable USB
http://www.maciverse.com/install-os-x-snow-leopard-from-usb-flash-drive.html
3: Call Apple for a new 10.6.3 disk (and make copies for backup before Apple discontinues selling it)
If your upgrading to 10.6 to get to 10.6.8 to upgrade to 10.7, be warned of this:
1: Your 10.5 software will not work in 10.7, no more Rosetta or PPC based code.
2: Your hardware will not qualify if it's a 32 bit Intel Core Duo, also you may experience slowdowns in performance over 10.6 (10.6 is the fastest OS X version for Intel Macs) in older Intel hardware (I suggest Early 2011 Mac's and later only for Lion)
3: Mountain Lion 10.8 is reportingly coming out this summer and will not run on a lot of older Intel based Mac's because of heftier graphics requirements.
4: 10.6 has the widest range of current avaialble software and drivers for third party hardware.
My advice, stick with 10.6.8 and stay there, buy a new Mountain Lion machine after this summer. Skip Lion completely.

HT1444 mac pro will not successfully load snow leopard

mac pro will not successfully load snow leopard 10.6 ? presently using 10.5

Haha! That's true. Though I've noted many users here calling a Power Mac a Mac Pro and visa versa.
When my Power Mac died and I brought it into the Apple Store to have them look at it, the first Mac Pros hadn't been out that long. Even the staff didn't know the tower Mac they had out on display was a Mac Pro. I pointed out that it had two optical drive bays in front. Only the Mac Pros have two. All Power Macs have only one.

I have a MacBook Pro 15" and my warranty just ran out! I partitioned my harddrive into two partitions, one with Snow Leopard and the other with microsoft.This morning I turned on my Macbook Pro and it will not boot into Snow Leopard.

Good Morning,
I have a MacBook Pro 15" and my warranty just ran out! I partitioned my harddrive into two partitions, one with Snow Leopard and the other with microsoft.This morning I turned on my Macbook Pro and it will not boot into Snow Leopard. I shut it off took out the battery, reinstalled the battery. Then I put in the Snow Leopard CD and booted up to disk utility and The Snow Leopard partion would not show up?? I do see the microsoft partion.
I also rebooted holding down the shift key and still no Snow Leopard
Could you please tell me what I can do, what keys do I press on restart any advice to get Snow leopard back.
thank you.

Have you restarted holding down the Opt key? That procedure should give you a gray screen with all of the partitions that exist. Then select the SL partition for boot. Also go to System Preferences and Startup Disk, unlock the lock and select the SL partition as the default boot partition, then relock.

MacPro 3.1 will not upgrade to Snow Leopard

Hi. I have a MacPro 3.1 with 2 x 3.2 GHz Quad Core Intel Xenon Processors, 6 GB of Ram. The computer is a standard Apple Unit.
I cannot get it to install Snow Leopard. Info elsewhere on this site suggests it should run under Snow Leopard. I have put the system back to Factory state with a clean install of 10.5. It still will not accept the Snow Leopard.
I suspect the problem may be me trying to use installer disks recently supplied with my new MacBook Pro 13", 2.53 GHz. Can anyone confirm this issue. If I buy another copy of Snow Leopard, that is not apparently Machine specific, will it install?

Yes, the disks are your problem. All you need to erase and install Snow on you MP is the $29.00 Snow upgrade disk. You do not need to ever had have Leopard installed.

Java 7 will not install on Snow Leopard

I am sure millions of people are having this problem, but it is a pain to register to report it.
Please fix.

3rd party mouse will not pair using Lion?

Just upgraded to Lion tonight. My HP Laser bluetooth Model N558 mouse which worked perfectly on the 17" macbook pro using Snow Leopard NOW will not pair with Mac. Downloaded the latest HP drivers, did a software update, restarted but mouse attemps to pair for about 1-2 seconds and then error message comes up saying the Mouce cannot pair with the Mac. Very frustrating and not finding any answers on MAC or HP forums. Error message on "select bluetooth device" says, "The device does not have the necessary services." It sure had the necessary services using Snow Leopard. Next error message, "The paring attempt was unsuccessful. The device is refusing the paring attempt..."
No matter what I have tried, new batteries, restarts, take out batteries for 10 minutes, holding down 'discover' button for 10 seconds. I've tried just about everything mentioned in the forums.
I don't enjoy the prospect of having to lug a usb mouse on my road trips but cannot find a solution.

Lenovo N700 mouse will not pair

I just got this new mouse and while it works in wireless radio mode with the dongle, it will not pair via Bluetooth. I am running Windows 8.1 on a Lenovo Yoga 11s with Bluetooth 4.0. I'd rather not use the dongle obviously. Why do I get a driver error when trying to pair and why can't I find any drivers for this on the Lenovo website?

Hi,The mouse has to be in mouse mode and in wireless mode also! Press and hold the L,R and the middle button(not the windows one(the middle touch have 2 buttons underneath)) then switch to Bluetooth mode without releasing the 3 buttons, after 5-10 secs. you will see the orange light and after that the mouse will be able to pair. P.S. Just tried it 3 times and it has worked for every try

My thinkpad bluetooth mouse will not scroll in firefox 7

My bluetooth mouse used to work in previous Firefox versions. Now it does not scroll at all. I have used the suggestions found when I researched this on your website with no luck.
I feel this is a Firefox issue as my mouse ''does'' scroll in Internet Explorer.
Thanks for your help
Lisa

I have the same problem, the mouse is incompatible with Safari for Windows and MAC. I have instalkled the latest drivers and yet no joy. Switched to my old Logitech M305 and everything works fine. Also my MS Wheel mouse (Corded) works just fine too. After many tries the MS 4000 Wireless mous will not work with safari.
Why the incompatibility? It surely is software related and seems to be related to the mouse driver.

OS will not boot after Snow Leopard Upgrade

I have a MacPro (Intel). I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and everything appeared fine. However, after restarting my computer the OS will not load. A circle with a hash through it replaces the Apple logo and the apple's spinning wheel continues but all drive activity. I have tried to run the install again by forcing the computer to open the dvd drive then booting for the OS DVD but this has not worked. Has anyone experienced this and successfully resolved?

You have a five year old computer, so a failing hard drive at this point is not so strange. You have a couple of options you can try. Start with this one, but if it does not work you will have to erase the hard drive. I hope you have a backup of all your files.
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
