Set Up Bluetooth Mouse does not discover magic mouse

Had been having difficulty with magic mouse randomly exhibiting eratic scrolling so went into system preferences to reset the mouse settings (may have happened when upgraded to snow leopard). Under Bluetooth, mouse is paired and on but when i went into mouse settings and tried to use Set Up Bluetooth Mouse (I changed settings to enable two finger scrolling) mouse is not found. BTW there is a USB mouse connected, which I did when the eratic problems started.

Hello:
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.
I am not sure what would happen if both the Bluetooth and USB mice were connected at the same time......

  • 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.
    Which Dell mouse (model number) works for you?

  • 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.

    The iPod does not contain the BT profiles necessary to pair with a computer.  The iPod can pair with headphones, speakers, keyboards (newer iPods), and some other iDevices via apps for some file transfer but mainly for game playing.  See the following:

  • 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.

  • My iPhone5 does not discover new bluetooth devices after upgrading to ios7.02

    After I upgraded to ios7,02, my iphone5 connects only to one previous device only, my VW phone. It did not connect to my Logitec headset, nor other devices.
    I tried forgetting both the devices, recycled power when iphone was in discovery mode.The iPhone5 still does not discover them.Is this a bug in 7.02 ?
    Verified that all my devices are connecting fine with other phones.
    Do any of you have the same problem ?  Help !!!

    - Move your iOS device closer to the Bluetooth accessory.
    - Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if performance improves.
    - Check for sources of potential interference and move both the iOS device and the Bluetooth accessory away from other electronic devices.
    - Check that the Bluetooth accessory is using a profile that works with the iOS device.
    - Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

  • Since installing Lion, I have not been able to utilize Time Machine (does not recognize the back-up drive); my wireless mouse does not function properly; I have experienced unreasonable delays in the system.  Is there a fix or upgrade coming?

    Is there a fix or upgrade to deal with the many problems I am experiencing since I installed Lion?  I can no longer utilize Time Machine (Does not see the back-up drive); my wireless mouse does not work properly; my iMac has slowed down considerably.  I am reminded of having a PC machine again.  Bummer!

    Either downgrade to Snow Leopard or try reinstalling Lion.
    Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  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.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • How can I access applications if the wireless mouse does NOT work?

    I have a new iMac (Snow Leopard) which comes with a wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse. Just in case that the wireless mouse does not work, how can I navigate through applications and the screen?
    Any advice will be welcome. Thanks and cheers, Veit

    Great, it works.
    Let me replicate:
    Shift-Command-A (on the Desktop, (but how to get there?) to open Apps, e.g System Preferences;
    Arrow keys to navigate within Apps;
    Command-down arrow to open a specific app;
    Arrows to move around, e.g. to Magic Mouse
    Space to open Magic Mouse;
    Tab to move between options and arrows to change these; and Tab back to the back icon.
    Thanks a lot to both of you, much appreciated your help. Cheers, Veit

  • 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.

  • How can I use Bluetooth it does not detect others iPhone

    How can I use Bluetooth it does not detect others iPhone

    The bluetooth functionality on the iPhone is limited. It's basically limited to audio devices (headsets, for instance), although certain apps allow greater functionality. Search the app store for "bluetooth share"
