Reconnecting bluetooth mouse with only keyboard

I have an iMac with Lion 10.7.2 and a mightymouse, and bluetooth keyboard.
I am using rechargeable batteries on the mightymouse and on occasion when switching batteries in the mouse the bluetooth does not reconnect.
Is there a keyboard only method of resetting and pairing the mightymouse to the imac?
(it works fine if I go find another usb mouse and do it using that but I would rather do it directly from the keyboard)

Turn on Mouse keys by pressing Option key 5 times (fairly rapidly). This will allow you to use the following keys to move the cursor and click. Hold the keys down for more rapid movement.
8 up
k down
u left
o right
i click (left click)
This will allow you to select bluetooth on the menubar or open System Preferences.
Press the Option key 5 times again to exit mouse key mode.
Regards,
Captfred

Bluetooth Mouse with Windows Vista

I have a 5 month old iMac and installed Vista on it and I was able to connect my bluetooth mouse and keyboard to it just fine.. But my brother-in-law just got a new iMac and I installed Vista on it for him and when I try to connect his bluetooth mouse with it it wont work it works in Mac OS X but wont let me connect it to Vista. It gives me some error about unable to pass passcode onto it or some junk..
Anyone have this problem and/or how to fix it?

It is probably unlikely to be the mouse but it could be. Otherwise my vista install took a good half hour to do the pairing for no real reason, I just kept trying. So from me just persist with it and try reinstalling the bluetooth driver, it seems to be a problem most people have a problem with the wireless mighty mouse at first I don't know why. Sorry I'm not helpful but as for as I now there isn't a solution because it will work.

Using an Apple Bluetooth mouse with a pc

Is it possible to use the Apple Bluetooth mouse with a pc and windows XP using WIDCOMM. I've tried to connect mine and although the pc sees the mouse, it tries to pair using a security code. This is despite the fact that it later says a security code is not required! Anyone got any experience of this?

Problem solved. Security code 0000 entered, mouse paired with pc and everything worked beautifully.

Bluetooth mouse with iPad Air2?

I just purchased and iPad Air 2 and I bought a bluetooth Keyboard from amazon that works perfectly. However, I was wondering what is the best bluetooth mouse to use with the iPad Air 2.

You can not use a mouse with an iPad.

Connect to bluetooth mouse with no passkey

My bluetooth mouse (Microsoft Notebook Presenter 8000) needs no passkey when pairing yet there doesn't seem to be any way within the Playbook interface to indicate this so I'm unable to pair it.
Has anyone found a way around this sort of a problem or will it have to wait for a RIM fix?

Have a Dell Bluetooth mouse... Playbook asks for pass key, opens a box to enter it... it connects with 0000 pass key entered into the Playbook.In adding a Dell Bluetooth keyboard, a pass key appears on the Playbook screen... enter it into the keyboard, and it connects.

If I use my bluetooth mouse with my MacBook Pro will it drain more battery?

Bluetooth mouse (Razer Orochi) paired with MacBook Pro with Retina Display. Will it drain my battery drastically?

Not drastically but wil use at the minimum around 30 mins of battery life.....Depending how much you're using your mouse....

Imprecise, Jumpy, Erratic Bluetooth Mouse with Video

I have been suffering with an erratic Bluetooth mouse problem for almost a year now on my 3.06ghz Imac. Recently, I have noticed others mentioning the same issue with the new Magic Mouse. (See Imac Forum). Therefore, in an attempt to raise the status of this issue I am posting a video in order that Apple Care and other Mac users can see the issue in action.
The jumpiness gets worse when downloading a large file or when copying or moving a large file. I have posted more details in Upper right corner of Youtube page.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBzisliiVpg

A quick update to the jumpy mouse saga:
After a year of problems with a jumpy mouse (see videos below) *I purchased a Magic Mouse to see if the Magic Mouse would solve the jumpiness issue. It did but the tracking speed was very slow. Therefore, I installed MouseZoom to increase the tracking speed. After installing MouseZoom I started noticing the jumpy mouse problems again.*
_*This finding is very interesting!*_
_*It implies that the faster the mouse movement the more likely one is to see an erratic mouse with the pointer making unrequested jumps around the screen.*_
My hypothesis is that the operating system or processor is not allocating enough resources to the mouse if the tracking speed is set to a high level.
_*The "jumpy mouse" problem seems to be far worse when the hard disk is running - either copying or downloading a large file*_. Some users are reporting that watching a high resolution flash video will also cause the mouse to skip and jump.
I am certain the problem is software related because the same exact mouse works perfectly in Bootcamp 2.1 and Bootcamp 3.0 in Windows XP SP3.
_*Youtube now has two videos showing the problem*._ You can view the videos here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxLY3-pH-rs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBzisliiVpg
If you are suffering from similar problems may I suggest three actions:
* Use the Quicktime X screen recording function to record a video of the problem.
* Post the video to YouTube.
* Contact Apple Care and share your video problem description with them.
* Send a note referencing the video and description to www.apple.com/feedback
Category: Mac OSX Feedback
Feedback Type: Bug Report
Feedback Area: Peripheral/Device Support
I will update this video to let you know if the problem has been solved. I am hopeful that Apple will be able to find the source of the problem and solve it quickly. I really like my Mac and I can hardly wait for the problem to be resolved.
Here is hoping that 10.63 will resolve this issue once and for all!

I want to use a bluetooth mouse with my ipad 2 any suggestions?

I have seen similar discussions, but since there didn't seem to be an answer, I thought I would try again.
I use PocketCloud Pro to access my virtual PC. It has a nifty mouselike display, but I would like to use an actual mouse. With my bluetooth keyboard and a mouse, I could abandon my laptop altogether and work exclusively from my ipad.
I have read about jailbreaking, but don't really want to go this route. Is there any app or mouse that will allow me to do this? If you can use a mouse after jailbreaking, why is this not a possibility?

Replacing bluetooth mouse with USB mouse

I have no need for a wireless mouse, and so just plugged in an old usb mouse, which works OK, except that when I reboot the computer, the USB mouse is not recognized at the login screen. Also, after I log in using the keyboard, the USB mouse is still not recognized until I unplug it and plug it back in. Anyone know how to tell the iMac to recognize it on startup?
thanks

Hi T-Bob
People seem to have had variable experiences with at least some versions of the Kensington drivers - see http://www.macupdate.com/reviews.php?id=5805
I see that their "Mouseworks" driver package is now up to version 2.9 - http://us.kensington.com/html/1385.html#mac28 Is this the version you installed? Have you checked the configuration options in the System Preferences?
I notice elswhere on their site that you should uninstall any earlier versions first (using the "uninstall option in the installer) before putting on a new one. Not sure if you had an earlier one installed though.
It is just possible that any OTHER mouse or graphic tablet / game controller software could also be causing conflicts with the Kensington drivers. This could include either the bluetooth or mighty mouse software I guess. I'm reluctant to suggest removing them though, as they are part of the general system software and we don't want to risk leaving you completely rodent free!
Sounds like you did the PRAM reset properly.
Another option for you might be the famous "USB Overdrive" - http://www.usboverdrive.com/USBOverdrive/Information.html THis is third party software that has been used to tame many an unruly input device over the years. I haven't used recent versions but it was certainly a worthy product in days gone by. You can download a fully operational trial version.

HT204368 intermittent bluetooth connection with ipad keyboard

I've a Greatshield keyboard/cover for my ipad, which connects fine via bluetooth but then keeps disconnecting. Anyone have any ideas how to stop this (bar buying a new keyboard/cover)?

I have the same issue with any Bluetooth device. I have a Harman Kardon Bluetooth to audio converter and a Griffin Technologies Beacon. iPad's intermittent Bluetooth connection has made both devices useless. I have to reset Bluetooth to re-connect, after which it will disconnect again anyway. It does look like the device is connected in Settings on the iPad, but it really isn't.

Mini fails to find Bluetooth Mouse but not Keyboard

I have an Airport Base Station next to the Mini... is this an interference issue??

Reset smc and pram.

"Turn Bluetooth On" with a keyboard shortcut

Does anyone know how to set a keyboard shortcut to "Turn Bluetooth On"?
I've looked in the keyboard shortcuts menu, and all I can do is add a keyboard shortcut to an application, but I don't know which application or command I need to set a keyboard shortcut to.
Thanks

I just emailed Dan, and asked him how he made shortcuts to menu items. He replied:
"It evidently varies by menu; some of the "Menu Extra" menus -- those on the
right-hand side of the menu bar -- let you assign shortcuts, whereas others
don't. Even when they do, I've discovered that the keyboard shortcut doesn't
always work. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! The alternative is a bit
trickier: Creating AppleScripts for such purposes and then using a
third-party utility to assign those scripts to keyboard shortcuts."
I have had good luck using automator to follow my actions, in turning on and off the airport from the menu bar. One problem I found was Automator recognised me clicking the Airport icon, moving down the dropdown menu, but it would not recognise me clicking "Turn AirPort Off". So I had to click on airport icon, then use arrow keys, and Enter key, to select "Turn Airport Off". Then simply make an "application" for this action in Automator, and use some third party app to make a short cut to the automator-created app. I'm going to try out using Spark :http://www.shadowlab.org/Software/spark.php, but you could probably use Quicksilver too.

Macbook Pro won't pair with my existing Bluetooth Mouse.

I used a bluetooth mouse with my macbook pro and had no problems. Since the lastest Mountain Lion Updapte (10.8.2), the laptop finds the mouse but the pairing with the device doesn't work. I've changed the batteries and restarted the laptop several times. Any suggestions other than buying a new bluetooth mouse?

AT200 pairing with Bluetooth Mouse

I've just bought an AT200 tablet, my first Android device which i've upgraded to ICS (Android v4.02)
I'm trying to pair a bluetooth mouse with the tablet. Like many bluetooth devices, the mouse requires no passcode, but when I try to pair with it Android insists that I enter a passcode, until i do the "OK" is greyed out.
Ive tried 0000 , 1234, and lots of others but nothing works, since the mouse insists on No Passcode.
In Windows its easy because the windows bluetooth interface has a "No Passcode" option, but this isn't present in Android
Anyone have any ideas of a work round?

Hello AT200owner
sorry I can't help you with your BT mouse but what I find most interesting about your post is that you have been lucky to upgrade to Android 4.02.
It would be very kind of you if you could shortly answer my questions which I guess are very important for European owners of the AT200, too
Am I right in assuming that you have simply upgraded through Toshiba's Service Station app?
Does your AT200 support any other languages (e.g. German ,French, Spanish) besides English?
Do you think everything is running smooth with Android 4?
Thank you very much in advance!

K1 Tablet - Bluetooth mouse Dynex doesn't connect

I purchased a Dynex bluetooth mouse DX-BLTMSE from Future Shop after the salesperson said that it would work with my K1 tablet. The tablet sees the mouse. I type either 0000 or 1234 but it dosn't connect.
Am I doing something wong? Is there a fix?
Is Lenovo's N6901 bluetooth mouse the only mouse that works with the K1 tablet?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ahh.....And such as it is way with technology...
Each manuf has their own spin on implementing bluetooth and write their own drivers.
Its amazing enough that so many bluetooth devices work together with so many different hardware vendors.
I had a Palm I705 with Wifi and there was this one coffee shop I would go to and it would NEVER connect there.
I could connect from home and school and other coffee shops and hotspots. I could bring my laptop
to that coffee shop and it would connect. But my Palm I705 would simply refuse.
Something with the AP? Something with the Palm? Wifi-module? Dunno...but not everything works as plan.
I have used 4 different bt mice and several different bt keyboards with my K1 and they connect fine.
One or more oddballs out of the bunch is to be expected.
