Should the magic mouse connect, if already paired, on mouse powerUP?

Seems like it would be most convenient, but mine will not do so.
Using some other pointing device it connects right away when requested from the bluetooth system pref or setup BT mouse, but shouldn't this happen automatically when either of them powers on or wakes up etc once you have them established? The bluetooth pref shows them as paired, just not connected. Making the device a favorite does not change anything. When the MM is powered on t just continues to double blink.
Oh and even if I have to re-pair each time (I hope not) I love this mouse, I just won't turn it off. I don't use the 2 finger gestures so have them turned off, but the momentum scrolling is great, the non-existant track ball will never clog up, I like the feel, I like the click, its great!

Hi John.
I have the same issue: I expected the mouse to connect on power on (as other BT mice/keyboards do on my XP box). I found an old post for the original Apple Bluetooth mouse that talked about clicking the button 4 times. I tried clicking the mouse 4 times after turning it on and that works for me. It is not perfect, but it seems a bit less agricultural than going to "Bluetooth ... Apple Wireless Mouse ... Connect".
Cheers,
Jeff

  • Should the USB MIDI connection be made directly for less latency?

    My main keyboard controller is a Roland RD700SX. It's currently connected via a Belkin 7 port USB hub. Do you think this introduces latency? Should it be connected directly to the Mac? Are there any connectivity issues that I'm not aware of? I'm not sure if the latency has always been there and now I'm just more sensitive to it (after a few years of producing) or if it's something that I've introduced to my system (in my endless studio-configuration reorganizations).

    Back in the days where we had HUB's in computer networks, these things slowed the data flow down drastically. A HUB is directing only one data packet at a time, so if two ports are sending data, the HUB can redirect some data packets from one port, then from the second, back to the first one, and so on...
    What I've learned from the guys here is that also USB isn't working in duplex (read and write at the same time), but as a serial device (read then write and vise verse); meaning that if you also have other periferials connected to your HUB (like an external hard drive), data going to these can hinder the data your MIDI controller is trying to send.
    But of course the best way to find out what is causing the problem, is plugging your controller directly into your USB-port. If this works fine, then you try it alone through your HUB. If this again works fine, start pluging one item at a time into the HUB, seeing if any of these introduce the latency problem in Logic.

  • HT2845 do I need to pair the magic mouse each time I switch it off.

    Do I need to pair the magic mouse each I switch it off, or should the mouse be left in the on position all the time.

    It should pair automatically when switched back on. Having said that, I never turn BT devices off unless I am gone for a long time. BT devices automatically go into a low power mode after a short time of non-use.

  • HT204387 iPAD mini iOS 6.1 can pair keyboards, why not the Magic Mouse?

    I need to access a site that requires click & drag with my iPad Mini. Has anyone figured out a work-around to get the MAGIC MOUSE to pair with the iPAD Mini? I am having trouble understanding why it won't pair.  Can Apple make an update to iOS 6.1 to include the MM?  It already can pair many other Bluetooth accessories, why not mice?

    Thank you KPenguin. I understand now, though I still can't 'click & drag' items in Kano games.  The 2 second hold that works for rearranging app icons doesn't seem to work.  Guess I'll be returning my new MMouse, which is a shame. I was looking forward to playing around with all it's cool features! :)
    Note to self: Mouse needs active cursor to work! Haha (it's a duh moment here!!) o.O

    Re: magic mouse
    I use Mavericks and I notice that when I put my mac to sleep and have my magic mouse on and when i go to wake the computer up with the mouse on my wi-fi will not connect?
    Put if i shut off the magic mouse and put the computer to sleep and turn my mouse back on and wake the computer up the wi-fi connects, this is a bit strange. This there anyone out there with same problem? is this a Mavericks thing that is not working with the apple magic mouse?
    Interested in hearing from you.
    Thanks

    ... does my iMac model... support Hibernatemode 3 alias "Safe Sleep" to protect my Mac against damages due to power outage?
    You can set hibernate mode to 3, but it seems to me its only benefit could be if power were to be lost after the iMac was already sleeping. Sleepimage is written to disk prior to system sleep. If your iMac lost power while it was "awake" you would certainly lose any unsaved work no matter what hibernate mode you choose.
    The problem is that an iMac without power no longer sleeps, it's dead. Upon restoring power you need to cold boot, and I seriously doubt sleepimage can be forced to load in that event. Sleepimage is loaded upon wake from "safe sleep", not from boot as far as I know.
    It is simple enough for you to try, so go ahead and see if it does what you want. Other than creating a 16 GB sleepimage file it did not appear to do anything beneficial on the iMac I am using though (a later model).
    The file location is /private/var/vm/sleepimage
    Configure hibernatemode, verify the file is created, do some work on your Mac, don't save it to disk (and don't use Pages or similar app that saves work on its own), let it sleep, then pull the plug. I think you will see what I mean.

    thanks I tried re installing the drivers (which were working fine before this windows update) but unfortunately it did not work. I can not access my bluetooth settings at al in windows yet it works fine on the mac side of things (I'm using them to type this)

  • Is anybody else struggling with an intermittent connection when using the Magic Mouse/Trackpad ONLY on Boot Camp?

    Hi,
    I've seen thousands of posts about Bluetooth connection issues and interference and stutter/lag for both the Magic Mouse and Trackpad (affecting both Mac OS X and Windows under Boot Camp) but my problem is different.
    To summarise my setup, I use:
    - Retina MacBook Pro (lid closed or open, doesn't make a difference to this problem)
    - Thunderbolt Display
    - Wireless Keyboard
    - Magic Trackpad (have also tried a Magic Mouse and experience similar issues to the Trackpad)
    And in Mac OS X, everything works perfectly. The keyboard and trackpad work smoothly when I'm 6-7 metres from the machine, whether or not the laptop lid is open or closed, and whether or not the Thunderbold Display is connected.
    But on to my problem: the bluetooth connection is incredibly unreliable/intermittent when in Windows (I run Windows 7 64-bit and Boot Camp 4.0, and got both devices connected without any trouble via Bluetooth).
    But during usage, the cursor stutters/lags frequently, and tap to click (when enabled) seems to get triggered by mistake all the time (even when I'm not touching the Trackpad or even at the computer, clicks get registered).
    The Wireless Keyboard is perfect, and works well 5 metres from the machine. The Mouse and Trackpad, though, don't even work reliably when they are 6 inches from the machine. The built-in trackpad on the laptop works perfectly too, in Windows and Mac.
    I spent a week assuming I was suffering from Bluetooth interference, so I tried:
    - using the laptop with the lid open
    - removing the Thunderbolt display completely and trying the Magic Trackpad
    - repositioning items on my desk
    - disabling wifi
    All of these adjustments made minor differences to how good/bad the Trackpad was, but none came close to fixing the problem or making it work as smoothly as under Mac OS X. It was only after doing all of this that I realised perhaps it was just a Apple driver for Windows issue, so I booted into Mac OS X and tested everything out, and sure enough, it's all perfect. But back into Windows, the Trackpad doesn't work reliably at all.
    Obviously, the hardware is not at fault, and I assume the signal strength doesn't vary between operating system (why would it?) so I'm left believing this must be a driver issue. The TrackPad and Magic Mouse drivers have been out for a couple of years, so I'm surprised they can still be this bad. I tried both the latest driver from Boot Camp 4.0 (3.2.0.0) for the Trackpad, and also the older one from Boot Camp 3.2 (3.1.0.7) and both are equally bad for me.
    So my question is: has anybody else struggled with using the Trackpad (or Magic Mouse) with Boot Camp 4.0 and Windows 7 64-bit, whilst finding it to be perfect under Mac OS? I haven't found many posts complaining about the Windows driver, which is why I assumed it was an interference issue. But I'm almost sure it isn't, having spent 2 weeks investigating.
    Any thoughts/suggestions/answers much appreciated!

    SOLVED!
    After much testing, I have found the cause of lagging/jumpiness on the Bluetooth Magic Mouse and Magic TrackPad in Boot Camp. Hopefully this will help others:
    The drivers for the Broadcom 802.11n Wireless Adapter have a setting called "Bluetooth Collaboration" that is Disabled by default. Enabling this option removes the problem instantly. My Magic Trackpad now works flawlessly, even if I stand 6 metres from the machine. It now works just as well as under Mac OS. The setting can be found under:
    Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter (right click and choose "Properties". Under the "Advanced" tab, highlight the setting named "Bluetooth Collaboration", then change it to Enable. Then click OK.
    I narrowed the problem down to the wireless card by disabling ALL startup services and processes for Windows, then re-enabling one by one. As soon as I enabled the Windows Wireless Service, the problem came back. Similarly, disabling the Wireless Card inside the Network and Sharing Center (or Device Manager) removes the problem. This led me to believe it must be a driver issue with the wireless card, since the problem didn't occur with the Magic TrackPad under Mac OS, or on my mother's Windows 7 64-bit computer. So when I went into the Driver Properties to check for an update, I found this setting about Bluetooth Collaboration.
    I really hope this helps others trying to use Bluetooth devices under Boot Camp. All Apple notebooks use the Broadcom card (and have done for years), so this driver is installed for almost anybody using Boot Camp on an Apple notebook. I'd assume this problem would affect anybody using Boot Camp + wifi + a Bluetooth device.
    Cheers

  • My macbook pro(Lion 10.7.2) continually lost connection with the magic mouse, which charged well.

    There is something wrong with my new macbook pro MD322(Lion 10.7.2). It continually lost connection with the magic mouse. I ensure that the mouse is charged well. I also looked up the matter on Web. It looks that the matter is familiar for many users.

    I have a m-audio fast track pro that I'm having a similar problem when using it with my new Macbook Air. I found changing it to 16 bit will work.
    I have a Apogee iMic that works fine so my guess is we will have to wait for Avid/M-Audio to update drivers.

  • It is possible to connect the magic mouse, magic trackpad and the apple wireless keyboard at once on the same Bluetooth network on the new iMac?

    I want to buy a new iMac but in my country the iMac just come with the magic mouse and I want the trackpad for the multitouch geastures. Can you help me with this question?

    Yes you can have multiple Bluetooth devices connected simultaneously. I believe you have have up to 7 BT devices at one time.

  • Its a 5S,I couldnt automatically connect to an already paired bluetooth device the next time.Have to forget that device then re establish each time.Am i missing any setting that does it ?Also

    Its a 5S,I couldnt automatically connect to an already paired bluetooth device the next time.Have to forget that device then re establish each time.Am i missing any setting that does it ?Also if i turn on the bluetooth via settings and turn off it via control center,the settings page still reflects its on ,is that a bug in IOS ?

    What kind of Bluetooth device?
    When you turn it off in Control Center, are you looking at the Settings page? If so, you need to close control center for it to reflect the change. When you turn Bluetooth off in Control Center and look on the Status Bar, what do you see? Do you see the gray Bluetooth icon? If you have Settings closed and turn Bluetooth off on the Control Center and then open the Settings app, do you still see Bluetooth enabled?

  • When the Magic mouse is connected to the macbook, loading every website gets so slow.

    Hello!
    When I connect the Magic mouse to my Macbook pro, loading any website gets so slow, it takes a lot of time to loads. When I disconnect the Magic mouse from the Macbook the loading of any website gets fast and normal.
    Nothing is installed in my Macbook, I've bought this mac before 3 days, and bought the mouse yesterday.
    I'm using the bluetooth Magic mouse.

  • Can the Magic Mouse be paired with the original iPad?

    Can the Magic Mouse be paired with the original iPad ?

    No, neither the first nor the second gen iPad supports a mouse - there is no cursor for a mouse to control, all you have on the iPad is an insertion point when entering or amending text

  • The magic mouse doesn't connect to any computer

    When I turn it on the LED stays on for a couple of seconds then it blinks twice and then for a short period the led stays off. This repeats until you turn off the mouse. Is it broken?

    Hi,
    This behavior of the mouse indicates that it's in discovery mode. You have to pair the mouse with your computer before you can start using it. To do this, turn your mouse on, open system preferences, click mouse, and click "Set up bluetooth mouse". Now follow the onscreen instructions.
