Restart -- Magic Mouse does not auto-reconnect

After I updated OS from 10.6.4 to 10.6.5 with the combo updater, upon restart my Magic Mouse no longer auto-reconnect via Bluetooth. I even applied the combo updater for the second time. But, every time I restart my Mac, I have to use a USB mouse to reconnect the Magic Mouse back to the Mac.
How can I bring the auto-reconnect back? This is driving me crazy.

I believe that I have solved the issue with the following procedure.
[0] Let's suppose that, after a restart, the Magic Mouse did not auto-connect.
[1] Use a USB mouse to open *System Preferences > Bluetooth*.
[2] In the left-side window, select the Magic Mouse.
[3] At the bottom of this left-side window, pull down the menu and select *Update Device Services*.
     It may take a moment or two for the update to occur.
[4] In the left-side window, the Magic Mouse should now appear as Connected.
[5] Restart the Mac and see if the Magic Mouse auto-connects now.

  • TS3048 my magic mouse does not want to right click anymore?

    My magic mouse does not seem to right click anymore, any suggestions?  For example, I used to right click on my icon of my memory card from the camera that I have inserted into the side of the IMac and I could choose "eject" now it doesn't want to right click and open up those options.  Am I doing something wrong?

    Hey.
    This seems to be a common issue.
    I've seen mixed posts on the net about the ES8000 working with the Apple Keyboard but from what I've seen the Apple mouse tends to fail the sync constantly.
    Sad, I just bought a mouse to improve navigasting on the ES8000 and dissapointed that it doesn't sync. Maybe an issue with drivers on the TV.

  • 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.

  • Broadband does not auto reconnect after power loss

    I have a D-Link DSL-302G ADSL modem and Netgear AC1900 on an  Eaton Powerware 5110 UPS. When there is power loss or brown out in our neighbourhood , our internet goes off and  does not reconnect automatically. I then have to physically turn off the Netgear Router and turn back on to get the Green LED  Internet light back on.  The modem seems unaffected, but it is bridged so my router controls the connection process. Now this is what has me puzzled - my devices never lose power because of the UPS, and the router connection mode is set to "always on" , and Internet IP address is set to "Get Dynamically from ISP" Is it the local Telstra exchange dropping all connections when swithcing to battery backup, and then disrupting the normal connection process for the Router upon power resume ? Can you confirm what happens, or are there some tests I can do? This is very inconvenient as I run a terminal server, and not in the office all the time to reboot the router.    

    Hi Melior,
    Normally, if there was a loss of power at your premises but not at the exchange then once the power was restored your modem should automatically reconnect (In this instance, a UPS should keep the modem powered up and connected).  If there was a loss of power at the exchange your modem should connect automatically once the exchange is powered back up.  
    So given the information that you have provided, I would suggest that you check your equipment.

  • Magic mouse does not swipe correctly

    Upgraded to Mavericks.  Magic Mouse only swipes between open screens instead of within pages in a document, returning to previous page on web site, etc.

    Disregard.  I looked a some other forums and checked my system settings.  One finger swiping had been disabled.  All is well.
    For now.

  • My magic mouse  does not pair with my mac mini   help please

    If the mouse is paired with the Air, you will need to delete from there before it will pair wiht the mini.  Bluetooth devices may be only paired with one thing at a time.

  • Magic Mouse does not swipe between full screens.

    Even tho prefrences is checked that one finger swipes between pages and two finger swipe between full screen apps, I am unable to do so.  It only goes between say mail, dashboard and one chrome or say I photo.  What could I be doing wrong?

    I went to Mission Control and set up more desktops, Thanks Captfred.  I'm getting the hang of it, but occ. it gets stuck, ie:  I-Cal goes from page to page.  Any suggestions?  Thanks again Captfred.

    Hi,
    I am having the same issue listed above on my new Mac Mini i just bought, I also contacted Express VPN support and got the same instructions with exception of the command to run in the utilities terminal.  I tried the steps listed, and both commands (posted here, and sent to me directly by Express VPN support), and still unable to connect on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.2, but I am able to connect on my iPad and my MacBook which is running Mac OS X 10.6.8.  Usually Express VPN is spot on with their customer support, but this is taking longer to get resolved.  Here is the steps sent to me
    Try doing the following to see if the problem gets resolved:
    Please follow the instructions here: https://www.expressvpn.org/support/setting_dns_servers_mac_os
    (should still be the same for Lion) and then add the following DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 & 208.67.222.220. After adding the DNS servers, please do the following steps as well:
    Note: If you're connecting to your ISP via a PPPoE connection, then set the DNS servers on the PPPoE connection itself and then restart your computer for the DNS settings to take effect.
    1. Click on Applications
    2. Click on Utilities
    3. Click on Terminal
    4. Type the following command (without the quotes): "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"
    5. Press enter and then try reconnecting to the VPN.
    If you're still unable to connect, please send us in the latest log files.
    Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

  • HT1338 updated OS to Maverick, now magic mouse will not scroll. what happened?

    I updated my OS to Mavericks latest, and now the magic mouse does not scroll...what happened? works through bluetooth, so I can move the cursor, but it will not scroll.
    Can someone help me with this?
    Thanks

    Hi davidgraham193,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your Magic Mouse is not scrolling, first go to the Mouse section of System Preferences and try toggling the "Scroll direction: natural" checkbox to see if it has an effect.
    Scroll direction: natural:
    Select this option to move the contents of a window the same direction as your fingers.

  • Mouse does not scroll

    Why does the magic mouse does not scroll? It only works sideways. I went to the apple store and worked with their computers.

    If you're still on 10.5  Leopard as your profile indicates then update to 10.5.8 and then apply this update.

  • System does not automatically reconnect to wifi network after sleep/restart

    My iMac G4 (2GB RAM, 10.5.1, AirPort Extreme) does not automatically reconnect to my wife network after waking from sleep or restart. I just recently switched the iMac from a wired to wireless set-up though the machine has always had the AirPort card. In wired mode, it always automatically found the network.
    Network preferences have the "Ask to join new networks" checkbox selected. Below the checkbox it reads "Known networks will be joined automatically."
    My wireless router is Linksys WRT150N, security type is PSK and encryption method is AES key.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I'm having the same problem, the only way i can connect to my wireless network is to restart the computer, and open safari immediately. Then once it goes to sleep or i shut the notebook, i have to restart it again to use the internet. It's driving me nuts, and nobody knows how to fix it. I've tried firefox (it didn't help) and my sisters macbook connects just fine to my network, so it has to be a network setting. I'm going to schedule an appointment with a mac store tomorrow. so I'll post again when they fix it for me. hopefully i will understand how they solve the problem so i can post it to you guys

  • Wireless network does not automatically reconnect after sleep

    I have a Belkin wireless G+ mimo modem router network. When I wake the mac from sleep it does not automatically reconnect to my wireless network and i have to manually select the network from the airport icon in the menu bar and then it connects without having to reenter my secure password. How do i set the mac to auto connect to the network after sleep? There are about 6 other wireless networks in range which may be effecting this reconnection.

    In may case the network was already at the top of the preferred networks list.
    Based of of a hint over at MacOSXhints.com, here's how I fixed this problem:
    1. In the Network references pane, delete the Airport connection that does not like to reconnect.
    2. Click Apply and Quit the System Prefs app.
    3. Put the computer to sleep.
    4. Wake the computer.
    5. Go back in to the Network pref pane and re-add the Airport connection. Do not try to connect to the network at this time.
    6. Click Apply and Quit the System Prefs app.
    7. Use the Airport menubar app to connect to your network.
    8. Verify connectivity
    9. Put the computer to sleep.
    10. Wake the computer.
    11. Verify connectivity
    My machine now consistently reconnects when coming out of sleep or restarting.
    God luck!
