Pairing Magic Mouse

I've just got a lovely new Magic which I can't wait to use... but Bluetooth Setup Assistant which I'm told I need to pair my mac and mouse is missing from the Utilities Folder. I've searched my Mac and it's nowhere to be found. The only Bluetooth software I have in the Utilities Folder is File Exchange. Does anyone know where I can find the Setup Assistant to download or of and alternative, or if in fact I need this at all and could maybe use File Exchange to pair my Magic Mouse.... help
Many thanks

I received one also. All updates installed..... bluetooth ready. It discovers the mouse....goes to use an 'empty passkey'... then suddenly the pairing fails. After 8 tries & reboots I'm more then a little frustrated.
Help! Please...

  • Pair Magic Mouse With Both OS X and Windows (BootCamp)

    Hi everyone!
    So the other day I setup bootcamp on my mac.  I can now access windows but when I do, I have to first boot up OS X, disconnect my magic mouse then switch back to windows to pair it again.  Is this supposed to happen because its really annoying.
    Thanks!

  • Is possible to pair magic mouse to one and only Mac?

    Question is in the title. I have two MBP and mac mini which i want to be permanently connected with magic mouse, problem is when mac mini is sleeping and somebody works with one of the MBPs it allways take connection of magic mouse, then i have problems after starting Mac mini and it do not want to connect to mice, thank fora any advice

    Yes, Go to System Preferences > Bluetooth > on the machines you want to remove it from (MBP).
    Highlight the mouse in the list to the left and click the "-"  icon below the list to unpair it.
    The mouse will only connect to machines that it has been paired with and appear in the list above.

  • 30 Minutes to Pair Magic Mouse after Routine Battery Changes

    Every month I have to replace the batteries in the Magic Mouse. After putting in the new ones and turning the mouse on, I have to try various methods for the mouse to pair with my iMac. Shouldn't it just pair instantly? I feel like im having to try way to many tricks to get them to pair. Such as turning the mouse on and off, sleeping the computer etc.

    One would hope it could, but I've had that type of trouble myself. I don't have a complete answer for you, but one thing I do in this situation is to attach a wired mouse or trackball temporarily and use it to select the "Connect" item under the Bluetooth menu bar item.

  • Brand new iMac cannot pair bluetooth keyboard and magic mouse

    Hi there!
    Just received brand new iMac 21" yesterday. Unboxed it, turned it on and none of both bluetooth devices (keyboard and magic mouse) managed to get paired.
    I was able to connect a USB mouse to log into the Mac. Did all turn off/on Bluetooth, turn off/on iMac several times with no luck. Weird thing is that when I lift keyboard on a 30 degree angle above my desk it seems to actually pair with the iMac but then when back to original position it disconnects.
    I've tried the magic mouse with my 2008 Macbook and works flawlessly. After several attempts never managed to pair magic mouse with iMac and as said earlier keyboard is not working on a standard position on my desk. It is frustrating to have paid close to 2,000$ for something that does not even work out of the box... Any ideas or suggestions?
    I'm planning to take it today to nearest Apple Stores but have a bad feeling about "genius" folks being able to help me out. Would be worth changing iMac for new one?
    Thanks a lot in advanced!

    Thanks Barry! If SCM reset means the following:
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    I've done that several times yesterday with no success. "SMC Reset" sounds quite fancy but then you google it and find that is a "simple" shut down and restart protocol... I tried "shutting down" by both selecting option via OS and also physically on the button behind screen.
    I appreciate the help but unless I've done that "simple" protocol wrong it is not working.
    Sorry for the frustration from my side. It just seems too much of a vague story when you hear Apple friends talking things about "the best OS", "best desktop",...and then you pay about $2,000 and find this yourself.
    If anyone else interested I commit to keep this up to date with the feedback I'll get from "genius" folks today. Hopefully they'll prove themselves to live up to their position naming.

  • Magic Mouse Not working with iMac. EXTREME lag.

    Here's a link to video of whats happening - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOogRQu93g0
    The whole time I was just moving it around in a circular motion. Batteries = 97% I just got my logicboard repaired on my iMac G5 and this has been happening ever since

    Try unpairing it. Do you have another mouse that you can use to see if it is the mouse, rather than the computer? If the second mouse works properly, try rep-pairing Magic Mouse.

  • Magic Mouse won't stay paired with booth Boot Camp and Windows 7

    So I have a Broadcom Bluetooth 2.1 dongle on Mac Pro 1,1, Lion, Boot Camp 3.3 and Windows 7 latest service pack and latest drivers/operating system. Everything is up-to-date.
    My problem started with Windows 7 not wanting to pair with mini alluminum keybord AND magic mouse. I followed a post somewhere and I was able to get the keyboard to pair and work when I switch between Lion and Bootcamp Windows 7 by removing it from Bluetooth Prefs in Lion, adding it to Windows 7 BC, and then adding it again in Lion.
    However, magic mouse will still work with onlly one: If I add it to Windows 7 and then restart to Lion, add it there and then restart in Windows, it shows as paired in Windows but it does not respond. I then remove it from Windows 7 and add it again, and it works. Then I reboot in Lion. It is on the list, but not connected. Even the option to connect is not available. I try restarting the mouse, no luck. The only way I can get it to work in Lion again, is to remove it and add it again. Now, I go back to Windows 7, It is there on the list, but it does not respond. In short, the Magic Mouse only seems to want to stay paired (or work) with either Win 7 or Lion. Getting it to work with one cancels the other.
    BTW, every time I pair it with Lion, I set it as a Favorite.
    Any suggestions?

    Some more info I have gleaned from my 13" white Core 2 Duo Macbook (not sure what generation - came with Tiger though). If I uninstall the Intel graphics drivers, the Sleep option is gone from Windows 7 but it will hibernate, and when resuming from hibernation the screen comes back on. However, when the Intel drivers are reinstalled the "screen off" problem is present for both hybernate and sleep. Two other data points: the power manager can't turn off the screen (after X minutes, etc) and I can't get any picture on an external monitor either. Just wanted to share.

  • Mac Mini: either Magic Mouse OR Keyboard won't pair at startup

    OK I'm stumped and apparently Apple Support is stumped too. I have a problem with my new Mac mini. It will not pair to both my wirelesss keyboard and Magic Mouse on startup. I have an old white "Wireless Keyboard," sometimes referred to as the Bluetooth Keyboard. It's about 6 years old, I purchased it in 2006 with a late Power Mac G5 Quad. It worked great.
    But now I just bought a new Mac mini, i7 2.7Ghz, running all current updates to MacOS X 10.7.4. I paired the new Magic Mouse and the Wireless Keyboard just fine. But on every reboot, the keyboard would not pair, it would always go to the Bluetooth Assistant and say no keyboard was attached. I would have to turn the keyboard power switch on and off, usually a couple of times, before it would recognize it. Sometimes I even had to go to the bluetooth menu item and manually Connect the keyboard.
    I called Apple tech support under warranty, we tried many things like deleting the bluetooth settings and recreating them, even turning the mini off and pulling the power cord for 30 sec (lol wut). But nothing would work. The Apple tech said, oh well, it's an old product, the higher level tech says it's not supported. Live with it.
    But NOW I have just the opposite problem. Sometimes my Magic Mouse won't pair and the keyboard will. So obviously there is no technical reason why this mini won't pair with the keyboard on boot, it IS supported. But invariabley one device or the other, either the keyboard OR the Magic Mouse will not pair at startup. This is particularly a pain if the mouse won't pair, I have to keep a USB mouse plugged in so I can use the bluetooth menu to Connect. Now this is insane. I have to use a USB mouse to connect my wireless mouse.
    So, Apple Support didn't have any ideas. Maybe someone else has some ideas. I don't see any reason why my new Mac mini won't pair with both bluetooth devices at boot time. It should work.
    Also I have a few gripes with the Magic Mouse, I'll toss those in too. Wow it burns batteries fast. I bought some Duracell NiMH rechargeables and a recharger, this added considerable cost to the product. But mostly I am having some sort of ergonomic problem. I am constantly doing something that causes the Dashboard to come up, even though I only have one finger on top of the mouse. I also occasionally pull up the "show all windows" feature of an app, which slows things down pulling up the windows unnecessarily and then me going back. I must be activating a two finger gesture with one finger on the side. I don't know how to prevent this, or even where I'd turn them off.
    But even worse, I am geting tendonitis or carpal tunnel syndrome or something, due to the way this mouse has to be operated. I have never had this problem in my life. It seems that I am constantly holding up my index finger so I can right click. This is causing strain in my hands, and soreness. You can't right click with both fingers on the mouse. Or at least, I have never been able to. I just don't seem to be able to run this mouse well. If anyone has some tips, I would sure like to hear them. I like the scrolling gestures but I hate how it right-clicks and how it accidentally double-clicks. Oh someone please help save my wrist and tendons!
    I liked the Mighty Mouse a lot, once I figured out how to clean the roller. But apparently it will not work with the Mac mini. I can pair it but it will only move up and down, it will not move the cursor left or right. Weird. I would use the old Mighty Mouse if I could get it to pair.

    I have exact same problem. Mid 2010 mac mini Intel core 2 duo. Have Trackpad and silver bluetooth keyboard (both bought about a year ago). Suddenly today, Track pad stops working, keyboard was fine. After much futzing with computer and keyboard/trackpad restarts, etc, I was able to pair the track pad, but keyboard is no longer found by the mini. Once trackpad is paired, I can use it as a mouse, but none of the trackpad configurations for gestures work, and things like dragging a window around the screen is choppy, indicating I would think a spotty connection between trackpad and computer.
    I also have a macbook pro that's about 3 years old, and both track pad and bluetooth keyboard pair up with this without any problem at all, so it's not the bluetooth devices.
    when looking at the console of the mini, I get PAGES of errors for today, with things like 'can't get battery percentage", [BNBTrackpadDevice] getReport returned error .... for reportID ...., thousands of lines of ***Missing version string for product ****
    Also, mini can't find the iPhone 3gs, the laptop or the iPad when trying to pair.
    I'd say there's an issue with the Bluetooth controller or hardware, but if anyone else has had a similar experience and fixed it, please chime in.

  • Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK

    Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK with plug-in keyboard and mouse

    Hi, Derek -
    ...the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink.
    Sounds like Spaces is being activated somehow. With the wired keyboard and mouse in use, select the Exposé & Spaces control pane in System Preferences, click the choice in that pane for Spaces. See what the settings are. There are some activation settings in that pane - by default, F8 activates it.
    It could be that the bluetooth keyboard has some stuck keys and is activating Spaces; or that the activation command has somehow been reset to something that the bluetooth mouse, or bluetooth itself, is triggering.

  • HT2845 If my magic mouse is already paired with a machine that is no longer working how can I unpair it so I can use it with a new machine?

    I wish to pair my old magic mouse with a new machine but have no way of unpairing to  the last computer. Is there some sort of reset on the mouse? Is there any other way to unpair it? Thank you.

    You don't need to unpair it with the old machine, the mouse is unaware of the pairing.  Turn the mouse off and back on and pair it to the new machine in System Preferences > Bluetooth.

  • New Magic mouse just paired with Macbook pro but will not scroll

    I have a MacBook Pro that has never been bluetooth paired with anything. The magic mouse and computer pair and it shows everything is ok, but the mouse doesn't scroll. If I physically move it it will click, but otherwise it does not respond. I updated all of the software and have OS 10.6.8. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Look in System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse    Check scrolling.

  • How to pair new Magic mouse w desktop? Old mouse is dead.

    How do I get my new Magic Mouse to pair w my old 2007 iMac? I don't have the old Mouse; when I bought the new one at the Apple Store they said they'd throw the old one away. So I gave it to them.

    Thank you so much Mr. Kafman... I turned off the computer by just holding down the power button and when it came back on it recognized the mouse. Thank heavens. I am SUCH a dinosaur.
