U410 Bluetooth mouse problem

Hi
I have a brand new U410 running Windows 6.
I also have a brand new Microsoft Bluetooth 5000 mouse.
I am not able to connect the two.
I have tried "Add device" in Settings. I only get a "device not found".
I have tried updating the bluetooth driver (Device Manager) but windows says that the driver is the latest.
The Microsoft Mouse/Keyboard software is installed.
Any ideas what to try next.

Hi
Welcome To Lenovo Community
We are really sorry to hear about the issue you are facing,
 Press and hold the Connect button on the bottom of the mouse. If your device has a battery indication light, it will blink and alternate between red and green to indicate that the device is discoverable.
On the computer, open the Bluetooth software. The Bluetooth software is typically located in Control Panel. For more information about opening the Bluetooth software, see the "How to open the Bluetooth software" section.
Click the Devices tab, and then click Add.
Follow the instructions that appear on the screen. 
A Microsoft Bluetooth mouse does not require a passkey to connect to the computer. If you are prompted for a passkey, select No passkey. If you do not get the No Passkey option, try to enter 0000 as a passkey by using your keyboard.

Hope This Helps

  • Apple's bluetooth mouse problem

    hi there, now here is an intresting problem i have with my apple bluetooth mouse. the problem i have is that if i turn off my mouse and then turn it on, it wont connect to my powerbook, so inorder to connect it, i have 2 options, the first one is to turn off my bluetooth on my computer and then turn it on again, then it will find my mouse, but it doesn't work everytime, sometime i'll have to let it off for 5 minutes, now my other and most effective option is to go and try to browse my mouse, as soon as the bluetooth tries to browse my mouse, everything gets connected. now here is something else that i found too, if i turn off my bluetooth mouse off, and then try to connect my mobile phone with the computer, i get the same problem, infact i get an error on my phone. I can eventualy connect my phone back if i turn off the bluetooth off and back on again. this is very weird and i need your help. thanx

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    Pardon if this sounds like a smart-a.. answer, but the solution is, don't turn off the mouse!
    I leave mine on all the time. Even at night when my iMac is snoozing. The mouse uses almost no energy when idle. I gave up on rechargeable batteries about a year ago, because they only lasted a few days. Now I just use normal new batteries and they last anywhere from a couple of weeks to a month, depending on usage.
    Unless there's some other reason you're turning it off?

    Hi, Colin!
    The most closely related Apple KnowledgeBase articles to what you've described that come to mind are:
        • Apple Wireless Mouse: How to Install or Replace Batteries
        • Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Wireless Mouse: How to Check the Battery Level
        • Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse: Troubleshooting Connection Issues
        • Bluetooth: How to Set Up Your Apple Wireless Mouse. [1]
    These articles are a good place to start with troubleshooting this problem.
    When you're having trouble with your iMac G5, searching the KnowledgeBase can often be a big help. Notice that several categories of resources are available. If you have any difficulty at first adjusting to the search engine (I did), check out the ~new Search Help webpage.
    I'll post back a little later with some further comments about what I've observed of my (& other folks') difficulties and solutions with changing batteries and reconnecting, etc.
    Please post back to share your progress and to discuss this further.
    Hang in there!
    Warm regards,
    Dean
    [1] Please note that having a backup "wired" mouse may be required to resolve Bluetooth connection problems. As the "How to Set Up..." article cited above says:"Use a Wired USB Keyboard and Mouse During Setup
    
During the setup process, you'll need to use a USB mouse before the Apple Wireless Mouse can work. Keep a USB mouse connected to the computer until you've completed setting up the Apple Wireless Mouse. After setup is complete, you can disconnect the USB mouse."
    In my experience, a "wired" keyboard is only required when there's a connection problem for which using a startup keyboard shortcut is a critical troubleshooting tool.   (Some of the startup key combinations for Intel-based Macs are different.)

  • Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse problems with new macbook pro.

    Got a Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse to use with my recent 2011 macbook pro running 10.6.7.  There appear to be several problems with this combination.
    1. If the mouse is not moved for a few seconds and I move it, the pointer does not respond immediately, and when it does, the pointer motion stutters and jerks across the screen for a few seconds before it starts moving smoothly. I don't see any spike in CPU usage when this happens.
    2. When I shutdown/reboot or sometimes even put the macbook pro to sleep and wake it up, the machine fails to communicate with the mouse, nothing happens even if I reset/restart the mouse or click, scroll or move it around. The only fix is to go to the bluetooth settings and set it up as a new device.
    I suspected a hardware problem on either the mouse or the mac, but (a) the mouse works perfectly fine on an older Sony Vaio laptop and (b) the apple wireless keyboard works pretty fine with none of these problems with my macbook. Would getting an apple magic mouse magically solve this problem?
    Has anyone else faced this situation, and could it be fixed?

    Any issues you are having with a "Logitech" product, should be dealt with their tech/customer support department.
     

  • Kensington Bluetooth Mouse Problem With 10.4.3

    After updating to 10.4.3, which updated bluetooth from 1.6 to 1.66, Kensington Mouseworks 2.8 no longer works with any of my Kensington bluetooth mice. A Kensington USB mouse works fine.
    Neither Apple nor Kensington was able to resolve this. Any ideas how to fix this until Kensington updates their drivers ?

    Original message was to Kensington:
    I can set up my device - discoverable - pairing and so on, but cannot get to the settings - fast, slow, scrolling, chording, etc. As a matter of fact when I select mouseworks under my system prefrences I get a window saying that there are no Kensington pointing devices found, but yet I'm using the device. The tracking speed of the cursor is uncontrollable at times. I am running OSX 10.4.3. Any help would be appreciated, otherwise I render this mouse to have a mind of it's own and not too useful to me.
    Their reply:
    Thank you for contacting Kensington Technical Support.
    As per the latest update from the concerned department, it has been observed that there are few compatibility issues between Mouseworks software and Bluetooth mouse on Mac OS X 10.4.3. Unfortunately, you are facing the same issue.
    However, it has been proved that the issue is not with Kensington software and Apple is working towards releasing a patch for this.
    Any solutions to date would be of great help.

  • Hp stream 8 and bluetooth mouse problems

    can anyone help me
     I just bought an Hp stream 8 and a wireless mouse and keyboard. The keyboard works fine, but the mouse I bought off of ebay isnt wanting to pair. It worked the first day but then shut the mouse off for the night and turned it back on the next day and was being really glichy, and then finally it wont pair at all. Is it the mouse or my tablet. If its the mouse, what kind of mouse should i purchase that will work but isnt ungodly expensive?

    I can't really make product recommendations as a tech agent, but I would assume any Bluetooth mouse should work fine. It's more likely a case of this specific mouse having issues.
    You can check out www.hpshopping.com for Bluetooth mice, there's some pretty cheap ones there that should do the trick just fine, and are backed by HP support.

  • Bluetooth Mouse problems

    I have a newly configured iBook with built in Bluetooth and a new Mighty Mouse Bluetooth. I had set up the mouse with the computer, but lately I'm having so much trouble the mouse is useless.
    The mouse will not work when I turn it on, despite being fully discoverable. before I reinstalled the system it worked fine.
    If I launch the Bluetooth Preference Pane it takes an unbelievably long time to respond, and does not recognize the mouse.
    I deleted the mouse from the list and attempted to reconfigure, but got an error message during the search for the mouse, "An error occurred attempting to perform the search."
    How can I get my Mighty Mouse to work, including getting it to run without launching the Preference Pane each time?

  • Bluetooth Mouse and Thinkpad T520 not working together at all

    Hi All (first post),
    System:
    Lenovo T520
    Windows 7
    Microsoft Bluetooth mouse
    Problem: Not working at all, or working only sporadically.
    History: Laptop is a bit over year old (warranty ends in June 2015 IIRC). The sales clerk recommended a bluetooth mouse, so I bought a Microsoft Bluetooth 5000. After the initial pairing difficulties were resolved, they worked swimmingly for about a year. Then I started more and more frequently having to re-pair them (remove device, let Windows find it again, pair them,...). As the mouse had taken a bit of beating, I bought another one a week ago. Didn't really help. The first time I asked Win7 to find the device, it couldn't. The Bluetooth radio was on, and the mouse had a fresh set of batteries, and all the other braindead suggestions of Win7 were eliminated. The bluetooth radio was working, because it detected the neighbors daughter's smartphone through a concrete wall, but not the mouse. I kept pressing the button in the bottom of the mouse that presumably makes it broadcast "I'm here".
    I moved to another room. This time detection and pairing up the device went fine. But after I had switched the laptop and the mouse off, and rebooted - nothing happened. I had to go through the remove/add device cycle again. Moving to a different room again. At first nothing. Then Windows finds the device, but gives the error code 0x800070015 (or something like that, not sure about the number of zeros), and fails to configure it.
    Any idea what is going on? Why is this becoming progressively worse?
    Elsewhere in this forum it was suggested that I should disallow windows to power off USB root hubs. I tried that but it had no effect.
    Regards,
    Jyrki

    Sorry. The error code was 0x80004005. This is the code I get from Add Device ->, when I try to enter 0000 as the paring code (suggested by the mouse start guide. If I try to pari them without a code, Control Panel first indicates that the piece of Hardware was added ok, but it before I get any use out of the mouse, the freshly added pic of the mouse disappears. The red/green light on the mouse never stops blinking.

  • Imprecise, Jumpy, Erratic Bluetooth Mouse with Video

    I have been suffering with an erratic Bluetooth mouse problem for almost a year now on my 3.06ghz Imac. Recently, I have noticed others mentioning the same issue with the new Magic Mouse. (See Imac Forum). Therefore, in an attempt to raise the status of this issue I am posting a video in order that Apple Care and other Mac users can see the issue in action.
    The jumpiness gets worse when downloading a large file or when copying or moving a large file. I have posted more details in Upper right corner of Youtube page.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBzisliiVpg

    A quick update to the jumpy mouse saga:
    After a year of problems with a jumpy mouse (see videos below) *I purchased a Magic Mouse to see if the Magic Mouse would solve the jumpiness issue. It did but the tracking speed was very slow. Therefore, I installed MouseZoom to increase the tracking speed. After installing MouseZoom I started noticing the jumpy mouse problems again.*
    _*This finding is very interesting!*_
    _*It implies that the faster the mouse movement the more likely one is to see an erratic mouse with the pointer making unrequested jumps around the screen.*_
    My hypothesis is that the operating system or processor is not allocating enough resources to the mouse if the tracking speed is set to a high level.
    _*The "jumpy mouse" problem seems to be far worse when the hard disk is running - either copying or downloading a large file*_. Some users are reporting that watching a high resolution flash video will also cause the mouse to skip and jump.
    I am certain the problem is software related because the same exact mouse works perfectly in Bootcamp 2.1 and Bootcamp 3.0 in Windows XP SP3.
    _*Youtube now has two videos showing the problem*._ You can view the videos here:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxLY3-pH-rs
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBzisliiVpg
    If you are suffering from similar problems may I suggest three actions:
    * Use the Quicktime X screen recording function to record a video of the problem.
    * Post the video to YouTube.
    * Contact Apple Care and share your video problem description with them.
    * Send a note referencing the video and description to www.apple.com/feedback
    Category: Mac OSX Feedback
    Feedback Type: Bug Report
    Feedback Area: Peripheral/Device Support
    I will update this video to let you know if the problem has been solved. I am hopeful that Apple will be able to find the source of the problem and solve it quickly. I really like my Mac and I can hardly wait for the problem to be resolved.
    Here is hoping that 10.63 will resolve this issue once and for all!

  • Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK

    Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK with plug-in keyboard and mouse

    Hi, Derek -
    ...the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink.
    Sounds like Spaces is being activated somehow. With the wired keyboard and mouse in use, select the Exposé & Spaces control pane in System Preferences, click the choice in that pane for Spaces. See what the settings are. There are some activation settings in that pane - by default, F8 activates it.
    It could be that the bluetooth keyboard has some stuck keys and is activating Spaces; or that the activation command has somehow been reset to something that the bluetooth mouse, or bluetooth itself, is triggering.

  • Problems with Bluetooth mouse following Lion upgrade

    I upgraded my MacBook Pro from Snow Leopard to Lion, this morning, and now my Kensington Bluetooth mouse, which I have been using for nearly 2 years, has stopped working. The upgraded MacBook now only registers a connection with the mouse if it is held within about 10cm of the system, but even then it doesn't respond to any movements of the mouse. I have previously been using the mouse quite happily from a distance of about 50cm.
    Is this a known problem associated with Lion?

    Well, after 2 days of completely refusing to work, the mouse suddenly requested Bluetooth pairing, and has worked ever since. I don't know why it took 2 days, though.

  • Tracking problem with Bluetooth mouse..

    I recently changed batteries in my Bluetooth wireless mouse... I've done that many times in the past without incident... But this time something strange happened... I used to run the tracking speed setting at the second notch up from slow but now that is lightning fast. Even the next setting down, the first notch up from slow, is too fast... And the slowest setting is ironically too slow which means if I try to move the mouse across the screen at what I would consider a normal speed, the mouse jumps back left as I move right, meaning I am overwhelming the control system... The point is something changed and I can't imagine what... These new batteries are now down a notch from top power meaning they are not new anymore but still the lowest notch is too slow and the next one up is too fast... My real question is what could have changed?? I am running 10.4.6 and I don't believe I had changed anything other than the batteries from before to after the problem started... Any thoughts???? thanks... bob..

    Today I received a letter from Apple, a very strange letter that had no heading or address and didn't say "Apple", all it had was the Apple logo. But from the postmark on the envelope I could see it was posted in Cork, Ireland.
    The letter confirmed that they had received my proof of purchase and that they would arrange for me to be send a replacement.
    The letter said they had tried to call me but could not get through. This is FALSE. Anyone who ever calls me can always get through (although at times, they may get my voicemail). Nobody from Apple left any messages on my voicemail.
    The letter gave me a Case Number and said to call their "Technical Support Team".
    When I called the number they gave 0870 8760753 I was offered a number of options, NONE OF WHICH covered my reason for calling, so I chose the seemingly nearest option to it.
    I found myself talking to something with an Indian accent so thick and heavy that I could barely understand him, and I am used to Indian accents.
    He seemed very tired or sleepy; certainly on taking my call he seemed to be settling himself in for some kind of long haul.
    Very slowly and hesitantly he started asking me for all kinds of details about me. As I gave him each piece of information he asked me for, he kept interrupting during the process that that I had to repeat myself several times. I had to interrupt him to tell him I had a Case Number (he had not asked me for one).
    He took my Case Number , and paused for a long time, then said "well....Mr. -, this is about a Bluetooth Mouse, yes?"
    Brilliant.
    He seemed to think the pair of us were going to spend a long time negotiating about something.
    He said he would need to go and speak to his supervisor. I waited on the line for 10 (repeat TEN) minutes.
    He came back "Well, Mr. -....I need to check all your details".. including all my credit card details....very slowly and repeating everything twice.
    Several exasperating minutes later I THINK I had convinced him that he had all my details and that he needed to have a new mouse sent to me.
    He said that when the new mouse comes (THINKS...if it comes) via UPS, I must send the dead one back to them within 10 days or they will charge me for the new one. I said what happens if I don't (because this is the summer and I might be out of the country on holiday).
    "That is the procedure".
    I replied "so you have all the information you need now and you are going to send me the mouse, yes?"
    "yes".
    ---long silence---
    I said "IS that the end of the telephone conversation?"
    "yes."
    "OK thanks, goodbye"-
    MORAL OF THIS STORY:
    If you buy an Apple wireless mouse and it dies on you, consider if you really badly need to have it replaced by Apple. HOw much time do you have to waste?

  • Bluetooth mouse & keyboard login problem

    When I boot my G4 PowerBook running tiger 10.4.3 I can't type my user name or password - neither my Apple bluetooth mouse or keyboard function.
    I have to login using the PowerBook's mouse and keyboard - then once the login is complete my bluetooth mouse and keyboard work fine.
    Bluetooth software is Apple ver 1.6.6f22
    Firmware is 2.1241
    Battery's are new in both devices and I've deleted and re-added the mouse and keyboard.
    Thanks in advance -

    I've got a similar problem, there are a few others on the message board too.

  • Bluetooth keyboard and mouse problems

    Dear friends,
    I think something is wrong with my bluetooth devices... They work perfecly well for a period of time (maybe 1 hour, maybe 2 minutes) and after this period they stop working well. They are not disconnected, they keep working, but they are super lagish, e.g. the mouse cannot be controlled, the keyboard have super latency or it keeps repeating a button i selected.
    When this occurs I turn off bluetooth from my status bar, and turn it again on right away. That solves the problem for again a period of time. This issue was first introduced to me after I installed Lion on my mac. After this and some other problems I experienced in Lion, I decided to switch back to snow leopard again. The thing is that the problem persisted...
    Any suggestions ???
    Thanks

    OK. New input...
    Updated again to Lion. As soon as I updated the problem began again. Once again I deleted the com.apple.bluetooth file and reset both pram and smc.
    For two days my bluetooth devices were working perfectly fine. None issues.
    Today, I was in a hurry and put my mac on sleep by closing the lid. As soon as I opened the lid again
    the problem unveiled again.
    What on earth is happening ?? It cannot be a keyboard or mouse problem, can it ??
    Little help, please... It seems managable, but performing a smc and pram reset every couple days doen't
    seem right...
    Regards

  • Problems with HP Bluetooth Mouse x4000b with HP Elitebook laptop

    Hi - I bought an HP EliteBook laptop earlier this year and a few months ago purchased a HP Bluetooth Mouse x4000b (after losing a different mouse during travel).  I've had terrible problems, almost since the beginning, with the mouse just not working.  Sometimes it works if I switch the batteries (flip the positions of the existing ones) but that tends to last only for a short time.  I replaced the originally batteries (which were supposedly good for 9 months) after just 3 months; and have just replaced the replacements and the problem is still unsolved.  I've checked the drivers; I can't find a power setting for Bluetooth on my HP laptop (someone with a Dell had that).  I've turned the mouse off, rebooted, turned the mouse on and reconnected; I've tried turning the mouse off and on again; I've tried to ensure that the batteries are in snugly with the plastic piece that sits over that batteries inserted as far back into the body of the mouse as possible (replicating the setup that I found when I first opened the mouse up to deal with this problem).  Any suggestions?  Or can anyone suggest a better mouse?

    Hello ayd135,
    It is helpful if you would post the full model number of your Elitebook please.
    Read through this HP Bluetooth manual to see how to use the HP Wireless assistant to help troubleshoot issues.
    http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c01948661
    Read through the info above first and try the steps.
    If this still does not solve the problem, then it sounds like you have a faulty mouse considering the battery issue you described. In which case, the only fix would be to replace the mouse.
    Pundravac,
    Even though you have an Elitebook also, your's could be a completely different issue. Did you install all the latest drivers for your old XP machine after installing Windows 7 on it?
    Please post your question in a new thread and post the full model number of that laptop also.
    Thank you.
