Targus bluetooth mouse will not connect in bootcamp

I have a Targus blueetooth mouse that will not connect in bootcamp. It has worked fine for a long time in XP and 7. Then I upgraded the haddrive and had to do a lean install of Windows 7 and the Apple bootcamp 5. Now it will not connect at all. I have the "Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth" seleted , it sees the mouse but it tries to connect and just stalls. This is very frustrating since without the mouse it is nearly impossible to troubleshoot Windows.

Bluetooth mouse will not connect my wireless mouse...
what works +every time+ for me :
use your fingers to move the cursor up to the bluetooth icon (top right of display)
click bluetooth icon, select user mouse / connect
then quickly move the cursor up (with fingers) so it touches or is very close to the bluetooth icon
and start clicking with your mouse (making sure the mouse is on obviously).
I have NO idea why but this works on my MacBookPro everytime. If I try to connect without moving the cursor near the BT icon it won't connect (or takes at least 10 trys).

  • Bluetooth keyboard and mouse will not connect

    I loaded a linux iso on a usb. Loaded it on a reboot. It may have been corrupted or something, because it did not load correctly. I rebooted the computer again and now the bluetooth keyboard and mouse will not connect. How can I fix this?
    Thank you.

  • HT201172 mouse will not connect

    mouse will not connect, new quality batteries, bluetooth ison but mouse is not recognized, mouse is on but no green light.

    The mouse, of course, may be faulty.
    However, try resetting the PRAM and SMC.  Those sometimes correct odd problems.

  • Bluetooth Mouse can not connect...

    Hi All, I am aware this is an issue however can not figure out how to resolve it. I have a 2007 macbook 2.16 dual core I'm using a bluetooth mouse which works perfectly with Mac OSX Lion. However when I switch to Bootcamp running Windows 7 64 bit, the mouse can not connect. The computer will find the mouse but when I click on the mouse icon in the bluetooth setup to continue installation the circle spins and spins and says connecting to device and nothing happens. The mouse works and bluetooth works, but not in bootcamp. I am tech savy so hit me with your best shot. Thank you!!

    Vnahaze2000, I still haven't figured out the problem. Try this website, it's from apple. There are drivers you can install which will hopefully alleviate your problem. I downloaded every driver and unfortunatelly no luck. But maybe it will help you. http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents      Good luck!!

  • Bluetooth mouse does not connect

    Surface Pro 2; Win 8.1
    Built-in Bluetooth
    I am attempting to connect a Bluetooth mouse to the surface when working at my desk. I have Bluetooth turn on and it keeps scrolling ... searching.
    I have 2 Bluetooth mice that I am trying to get to connect:
    1. Verbatim model 96991 (no transceiver)
    2. Microsoft wireless mobile 3500 (with transceiver). I loaded Microsoft Mouse & Keyboard center. When run, cannot find device. I did not connect the transceiver because I want the internal stack to work.
    I wish to use internal surface Bluetooth stack.
    What do I do to get MS mouse working on surface 2 Pro win 8.1 with internal Bluetooth stack (no transceiver) 
    John Lenz

    MS Bluetooth mouse (w/USB) will not connect natively to Surface2 PRO.
    Another Bluetooth mouse (no USB) does but does not sustain connection. I'll use this one.

  • My thinkpad bluetooth mouse will not scroll in firefox 7

    My bluetooth mouse used to work in previous Firefox versions. Now it does not scroll at all. I have used the suggestions found when I researched this on your website with no luck.
    I feel this is a Firefox issue as my mouse ''does'' scroll in Internet Explorer.
    Thanks for your help

    I have the same problem, the mouse is incompatible with Safari for Windows and MAC. I have instalkled the latest drivers and yet no joy. Switched to my old Logitech M305 and everything works fine. Also my MS Wheel mouse (Corded) works just fine too. After many tries the MS 4000 Wireless mous will not work with safari.
    Why the incompatibility? It surely is software related and seems to be related to the mouse driver.

  • My Apple bluetooth keyboard will not connect to my Macbook (it was connected before)

    Hi
    My Bluetooth keyboard (model A1314) was connected to my Macbook.  I was away on a trip and now it will not connect.  A message comes up saying "error connecting to device".  I have tried everything that I can think of - replaced the batteries, removed the keyboard from the Bluetooth list.
    I would be grateful for some advice please!
    Thanks!

    Try resetting the SMC.

  • Magic Mouse will not 'connect' to iMac

    I have a 27" iMac with wireless Magic Mouse, both purchased in November2009. My keyboard is USB.
    Todaywhen I started the iMac, it would not 'connect' with the mouse. I resorted to a USB mouse to open Mouse Preferences and got a window that indicates the iMac is searching for a Bluetooth mouse, but "No mouse found".
    I have new batteries in the mouse and the green light shows it is working; however, the preferences do not allow the battery status to be shown since the iMac is not 'connected'.
    To confirm the batteries are indeed OK, I connected the mouse to my Mac Book, and the mouse works fine with the Mac Book -- shows the batteries to be 100%.
    What could be the reason the iMac does not recognize the mouse?

    Hello:
    I see you are OK now.
    You might want to make the mouse a favorite.
    Please mark the thread solved, so that others will not bother to read it to see if thay might help.

  • Magic Mouse still not connecting on Bootcamp 3.1 with Windows 7

    I had windows 7 ultimate x64 running on Bootcamp the last few months and was thrilled to see that the last update would work with my shiny new magic mouse.
    To my disappointment it didn't. I tried reinstalling the update (x64 version of it) a few times, and manually deleting the drivers related to bluetooth and mouse from the control panel so it would make a clean reinstall, but without any luck... I followed every instruction, rebooted a zillion times and still nothing.
    It detects the mouse on bluetooth devices, it even knows it's mine (has my name on it), but keeps on trying to connect forever...
    Anybody has this problem?

    All,
    Here's how I got it to work:
    Go to Device Manager > Bluetooth Radios > Generic Bluetooth Adapter
    Right click > Update Driver Software > "Browse my computer for driver software" > "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
    Uncheck "Show compatible hardware"
    Under Manufacturer select > "Apple Inc."
    Select the "Apple Built-in BluetootDFU" and click "Next" a bunch of times.
    Then, go to the Bluetooth Icon in the system tray or in the control panel. Turn off the Magic Mouse before you try to discover the device. It should do it's thing automagically and come right up after you turn the Magic Mouse back on.
    At least these are the steps that worked for me.
    The problem I'm seeing is that the mouse stops responding if you're not constantly moving it. I'm going to try the different Bluetooth adapters from "Apple Inc." to see which one works best.

  • Optical Bluetooth Mouse will not Pair in Snow Leopard 10.6.1 on MBP5,5

    I have this mouse, with full batteries, just now tested and working on Windows XP with another laptop, and with an older MacBook Pro running 10.5. I can see this device in the Bluetooth set-up, and when I click Continue, the window shows a connection established, then another connection, and then an error that the device could not be paired. I tried every type of Password Options, including setting as 0000 and 1234. I have no other Bluetooth devices to test with either.
    IOGEAR - GME225B - Bluetooth Optical Mini Mouse
    I followed the instructions from other posts, but still cannot pair the mouse.
    -Deleted Macintosh HD>library>preferences>com.apple.bluetooth.plist
    -Reset PRAM with Command-Option-P-R keys at boot
    -Installed Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0 for Snow Leopard
    Nothing works, but I know for sure that this mouse does work, and that it has worked on previous versions of OSX and other MacBooks.

    I have the same issue. Same mouse. Its definitely snow leopard. I have 2 macbooks that use that mouse that were upgraded to snow leopard from leopard. On one of them I had deleted the mouse and encoutered the same errors trying to add it - it worked on my other machine. But then as a test (bad idea) I deleted it off the other machine and was also unable to recreate the connection thereby narrowing the issue to snow leopard. I have tried pretty much everything for hours. Deleting pllist file, smc reset, nvram etc... I think I have to wipe off the machine and install leopard again and start from there

  • Bluetooth mouse is not connected after reboot or bluez restart

    I followed all possible guides to make my Apple MagicMouse. I saw on the forums that the key is to mark it as "trusted". I did it in bluetoothctl and put it to "trusts" file in /var/lib/bluetooth/xx:xx..../.
    It works fine if I connect it manually but after restart I see only messages like this in bluetoothctl:

    Messages are printed when I click a mouse button. There is a small delay between "Connected: yes" and "Connected: no" and during this time I see a bluetooth sign in the notification area (I have Gnome).
    Sometimes I see a paring request from the mouse. Sometimes authorisation request and if I go to the bluetooth settings it even propose to type a PIN code on the mouse )
    Regardless my action after restart of bluez I am at the starting point.

    I mentioned that, because this "solution" used to work for me on previous similar problems. After these steps the mouse used to autoconnect again after reboots and wakeups. Then after some weeks the problem appeared again.
    Now this also doesnt work anymore. Now, everytime the mouse is disconnected, I have to push  connect-button on the mouse and then manually initiate the connect process from the notebook (KDE: bluetooth applet -> Mouse -> Connect). It is not enough to just turn on the mouse.

  • Just got the mac pro and mouse will not connect.

    I've googled the heck out of it and can't find anything wrong.  At this point I don't know what else to say but, the mouse isn't working. Checked batteries, went through ALL processes, and nothing seems to work.  All I get it the green status light blinking or it will say it's connected for 30 secs but doesn't do anything. If anyone else has any other help or info I would appreciate it.

    How far is you mouse from the back of your mac pro and is there anything between those two points?  Beyond about 3 to 4 feet the MM on a mac pro for many people is problematic.  Here's a 24-page thread on this topic:
    Poor Bluetooth reception and jerky mouse
    Bottom line, use a bluetooth dongle (that what I use -- IOGear GBU421) or wire up an external antenna to the bluetooth card inside your mac pro.
    As an experiment you could try doing a smc and pram reset and keep the mouse close to the back of your machine and seeing if it pairs up and stays connected.

  • TS1398 Update iPhone 4s to 6.1.3 (10B329) now I can't connect to any wifi networks at home or at work and all car Bluetooth systems will not connect either. Help! Extremely annoyed at apple for putting out software that causes such mayhem.

    My iPhone 4s has been update as I said in subject bar.. Now can't connect to any of my cars Bluetooth systems. Also even more frustratingly can't connect to any wifi networks at home or work!!
    How can apple put out such an update that causes so much grief and inconvenience to hundreds of people. Not to mention risking lives with Bluetooth kits not working...outraged!!!!!!

    First, grow up.  Just because YOUR phone isn't working, doesn't mean Apple put out bad software.  I've not had any difficulty, nor has anyone else I know.  And just how is Apple risking lives with Bluetooth kits not working?  It's YOUR decision to talk on the phone or text and drive.  Not Apple's.
    We're users here, volunteering our time to help others.  Posts like yours, which are whiny and ranting, simply means we're likely to ignore you and not provide you with any help.  Not to mention, it makes you look absolutely foolish.
    Further making you look foolish is the fact that you haven't even asked a technical support question, nor have you provided anyone here with any troubleshooting steps you might have taken, including those recommended in the user guide.
