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.

  • Magic Charger for the Magic Mouse doesn´t work

    Hi,
    I´ve recently did my first purchase on the apple store,
    I´ve bought the magic charger from mobee for the Magic Mouse,
    which has been working all good with the normal batteries,
    but since I´ve install the new magic charger batteries I just can´t make
    work the magic mouse, I´ve plug the magic charge into a usb from the iMac 24"
    I´ve wait almost a day so tha the Magic Mouse charge the batteries than
    when I switch on the Magic Mouse doesn´t work, the green light from Magic Mouse stands off,
    so obviously the bluetooth from iMac 24" doesn´t recognize Magic Mouse,
    ¿Any suggestion?
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi Allan Jones,
    I don´t know under with authority you´ve answered this thread,
    but and don´t get me wrong, your message was completely worthless.
    Since I did a purchase on the apple store, the apple store should answer
    for every inconvenient with the product than I did purchase, and as Apple
    is a big multinational who cares for his customers, they did so Apple store sended
    special transport to my home to get the malfunctional Magic Charger and than
    they send me a new one which seems would work fine.
    Thank you very much in advance.

  • Does the Magic Mouse Laser Light Up?

    I was having a bit of trouble with my Magic Mouse and it was not tracking properly. A battery change seems to have helped. But I looked at the underside of the mouse and did not see any light coming from the optical port. For the life of me I cannot remember if the Magic Mouse is supposed to have a red laser light visible on its underside or not. Can anyone help with the answer?
    Regards,
    Steve M.

    Steve,
    The Magic Mouse doesn't have a visible laser light, just the green power light.

  • 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 magic mouse won't connect to Yosemite 10.10.2 I've tried 2 different mice with the same outcome.

    I have an early 2013 MBP with Yosemite 10.10.2. Connectivity with the magic mouse has steadily gotten worse, now it won't connect at all. I've tried connecting with two different mice, one about 5 years old and one about 2 years old, both with the same result. Any one else have this issue?

    Hello rachste,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these mouse issues with your MacBook Pro. If you continue to have connectivity issues with your Bluetooth mice, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful (apologies if you have already seen it):

    ... 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.

  • 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.

    Hello,
    Click the Apple icon in the top left corner, Then System Preferences..., From the menu bar select Help, Write

  • 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.

  • Is there any way that the magic mouse might work on the iPad?

    I just got the iPad 3 and is there any way that the magic mouse can work alone or with the keyboard on it? If not, can the mouse work with a PC?

    The magic mouse can't be used with an iPad simply because Apple has chosen not to include support for it.
    Which is fair enough. Where are you going to put this mouse in order to use it with an iPad... you need a handy flat surface... oh, I know - the iPad screen. Much easier than moving your fingertip around it.
    You would put it the same place you put the wireless keyboard.
    In fact the existing keyboard support is one of the big reasons many of us would like to see mouse support added. You see the problem is that when you use a keyboard you have to reach up and over to tap the iPad screen. By Steve Jobs own admission* the arm tires quickly when you have to do this repeatedly. In this particular situation a mouse would be more ergonomically sound.
    There is also the issue of access for the disabled. Although iOS does have many accessibility option, at present none of them help those with severe spinal damage or certain amputees. Including mouse support means you could also use devices like the "suck and puff"... A mouth controlled joystick designed for people with these disabilities.

    Hi I have just upgraded my macbook to Maverick, but the Apps store doesn't connect to the dutch store/ apps, and I can't see my previous purchased apps as on my iPad, any idea ? thanks

    Are you expecting to see the apps that you can see on the iPad, on the Mac?
    iOS apps which run on your iPad and use the iOS operating system, won't run on your Mac, which usues a different operating system, OS X.

  • I HATE THE MAGIC MOUSE! Any suggestions for a solid alternative for graphics use?

    I have the 27" Intel Based Mac and LOVE the machine...brilliant, beautiful, fast! I also LOVE the wireless keyboard...light, responsive, awesome! But I HATE the Magic Mouse...hate hate hate! I work with Adobe programs (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Mastersuite CS5) and the mouse control and scroll are all over the place. I need precision control. I need the mouse to stay where I want it to and scroll when I ask it and not scroll when I need to be zoomed in at 6400%.
    Now, There HAS to be a good, solid user controlled wireless mouse that works well with the mac! Please HELP!!
    Any input is greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

    What is the problem with just using a good old fashioned WIRED mouse?  When we spec computers for purchase for use by our graphic design, animation and digital photo student lab systems, we always go with a wired mouse..  Better control and more reliable operation are the reasons.  The fact that they are less likely to "wander off" is another big plus for us.
    We also go with wired, with numeric keypad, keyboards so we do not have to worry about batteries going down on either mouse or keyboard./  Yep, it is a step backward in technology but reliablity and ease of use trumps "bleeding edge" technology in this case.
    If you want you can also have the Magic Mouse on the system but either shut off or stuck up in some corner of the desk where you won't hit it by accident.  That way if you do decide you need the "touch pad" features, they are still available.
    Message was edited by: Joe Pyrdek to add the paragraph about using both wireless and wired on the same system.

  • I use an iMac (27" 3.4) and have problems with the Magic Mouse. It does not use contact, but opens useless and unrelated submenus with every click, even on the empty desktop. I can't shift, open or close pages. Has anyone out there the same problem?

    I use an iMac 27" (mid 2011). Until recently I had OSX 10.6.8 installed, but both, the HDD and SSD had to be replaced, and I lost all the memory.
    After the repair through Apple Care I had OSX 10.7.5. (Lion) installed, which developed a Magic Mouse problem.
    Unlike with most users, I have no problems with connection, but grapple with a different kind of erratic behaviour.
    All fancy stuff is turned off in the mouse preferences. When I try to move, open or close pages, unrelated submenus pop up and hinder the
    required task. No matter how often I click, these menus stay there, and they even come up when clicking on the bare desktop.
    It renders the mouse absolutely useless, as no work can be done with it.
    The first 'Magic Mouse' had depleted batteries every few days, despite switching it off after use.
    I was supplied a new Mouse, which does better battery-wise, but the problems are the same. I can't get a result by clicking on any link, due to
    the pop-up menus, so both 'Magic Mice' are totally useless.
    At present I am using the old USB mouse from my Mac Pro, and that works still o.k.
    The problem are not the mice, but the software. The first 2 weeks after installation of OSX 10.7.5 the Magic Mouse worked though.
    I have no idea as to what the reason may be.
    Has anyone in the community ever experienced that particular problem. Any hint would be welcomed.
    Thank you!

    Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
    Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
    I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
    Thanks for the advice, Bee
    Cheers, Gerd
