Ugly issue with my Magic Mouse

I have a Magic Mouse that has work essentially flawlessly for quite a while.
I run VMware Fusion so I can run Windows XP and the Magic Mouse worked great there as well. Tonight I was trying something and I told VMware Fusion to connect the Apple Bluetooth USB Host Controller to Windows XP. Well, at this point my Magic Mouse connectivity stopped and man did my troubles begin.
I quickly told Vmware to disconnect the USB Host Controller from Windows but this hasn't fixed my new issues with the Magic Mouse. At this point my Magic Mouse is barely functional.
The symptoms are this:
- If I disconnect the mouse using the tool bar blue tooth indicator and then reconnect it, the blue tooth indicator says the mouse is connected but it doesn't work. I have to physically power down the mouse and back on before it work.
- When it does kinda work, the mouse at times "jumps" across the screen so I have to be very careful how quickly I move it at times.
- The multi-touch scroll feature no longer works. It worked in Windows XP as well ... not any more.
- When I click on the bluetooth icon and try to bring up the Mouse Properties it takes QUITE a long time.
When I try to get the system to "discover" the mouse again, it can take quite a long time and the following shows up in the Console App:

I want my Magic Mouse back !!!!
Any idea anyone ?
P.S. I'm sssssoooo freak'n mad to VMware right now.

Sounds to me like you have one of several issues going on there.
You may have a lot of interference in the same frequency as your bluetooth device.
Or - you may have a bad bluetooth transceiver in either your mouse or your computer.
Take the mouse to another computer with bluetooth on it and sync it to that - if it works fine then your computer or your environment is the culprit there ( um this assumes that you took your mouse to another location, say your friends house where the interference threshold is bound to be different than at your house), and you should then take your computer out of the house for the day, and see how the mouse works away from home.
If the mouse is bad - you will have issues if you take it to another location - replace it - check warranty
If you think is is your house / place you have your computer, that may contain an the interference that messes with your mouse:
Try turning everything off you can think of in your house / office, and see if it gets better. Also - a big one - make sure that your computer and mouse are not to close to any speakers / etc, as they do have a magnetic field that could cause a mess with bluetooth mice. (rare but it happens)
As you can see in your error message:
10/7/10 2:32:59 AM kernel 0f5f3900AppleMultitouchHIDEventDriver::start entered
10/7/10 2:33:02 AM kernel BNBMouseDevicewaitForDatad8-30-62-38-b8-ff Timeout waiting for data
10/7/10 2:33:02 AM kernel BNBMouseDevicegetExtendedReport getReport returned error e00002d6
it made a connection - then timed out -
Also check the silly things - like are the batteries dead?
Last thing I can think of - is to delete the mouse all together, then re-discover it -
Um - after replacing the batteries of coursse - just to be SURE.
Then you can turn everything back on in vmware etc - you may also want to make sure that you have the latest version and additions etc installed.
Good luck!

MAC OS X 10.6.3 issues with iTunes/Magic mouse

This is strange. Somehow I was able to upgrade Snow Leopard 10.6 to 10.6.3. How was that possible? I did this about a week or so ago. 10.6.3 is not available on Apple's download site today 2-7-2010. How did I get access to it?
A couple of weeks ago, I bought the Snow Leopard CD and installed it over my Tiger OS, without any problems. Then i bought a wireless keyboard and magic mouse which prompted me to upgrade Snow Leopard to 10.6.2., as well as upgrade the software to the wireless peripherals. Went to Apple's download page and somehow downloaded OS X 10.6.3. Hmmm? I also installed the latest security update at this time too. After all installs, at this point, I wasn't experiencing any issues with my laptop.
But then, I upgraded iTunes to 9.0.3. At this point I started experiencing problems after shutting down and then booting up the next day. iTunes began playing music slowly, music wasn't garbled, but the songs sounded out of tune (playing from my hard drive). Also, my wireless magic mouse got jumpy and exhibited delayed reaction. I ended up reinstalling OS X 10.6 (from the cd) over the existing OS (10.6.3), and now iTunes works just fine. The reinstall of OS X 10.6 from the cd did wipe out my software upgrades for the wireless peripherals and i have yet to upgrade them. i'm just glad iTunes is working well again.
My questions are: Was the problem with iTunes playing slowly an iTunes issue? Or was the root problem from the upgrade to OS X 10.6.3, and therefor an OS problem? Why was my mouse also displaying problems? And how was I able to get OS X 10.6.3 from Apple several days ago when they don't have that version available for download on the site today? Confusing.

My questions are: Was the problem with iTunes playing slowly an iTunes issue? Or was the root problem from the upgrade to OS X 10.6.3, and therefor an OS problem?
Even if a user has access to the beta, and knew of an issue they are working on, he/she would not be able to comment on it here. This forum is only for OS's that have been released and is covered by a Terms of Use agreement.
Sounds like you got an unintended update in some sort of fluke accident, and since you've removed it, there's no way of telling what caused the problem or if it was the OS or program or both.

TS3048 are there any known issues with the magic mouse? i believe mine is buggy and has been crashing Logic

mac pro quad core 2.8Ghz Lion 10.7.4 12 GB ram
magic mouse behaves very erratically; seems buggy and tracks slow. will crash Logic when rubber-banding or moving events in piano roll edit windeo. very frustrating. have not been able to duplicate this crash using my old wired mouse (from my G4)
someone at a Mac store suggested i may have a"bad" mouse... what gives? any help would be appreciated. i will be happy to replace the mouse if that is the issue...robert

Hello,
In answer to your question, I have not heard of any "known problems."
The device may, indeed, be faulty. Try resetting the PRAM and SMC before you buy a new one.

How come I can't use the back gesture in certain apps with my magic mouse on certain applications in Lion OS?

How come I can't use the back gesture with my magic mouse on certain applications in Lion? I figured out that in Safari i have to use a 1 finger swipe to go back a page instead of 2 fingers like i used to do in Snow Leopard. But apps like iTunes and iPhoto and i can't do that. Any ideas? is there a setting im missing to make this work? It works in Safari but not any other applications, so im assuming theres no setting for this. Just want to know if this is just a bug that will be fixed in the next update or if its something I can fix now. Any help would be appreciated because its kind of annoying. Other than this minor issue I love Lion. Full screen apps are unbelievable.

Hi.

Using Aperture with a Magic Mouse

Is anyone else having issues using a Magic Mouse while editing photos? Somehow I'm accidentally activating the swipe motion which causes me to scroll through my library while editing. I've tried turning off swipe motions, which works in Finder, but Aperture still swipes.

I too am not enjoying at all how the Magic Mouse functions in Aperture. All too often just touching the mouse to do an aperture specific task, the mouse misinterprets the touch as a go to start scrolling through my large libraries. Then I have to get back to the right image (usually one I am editing) and be extremely careful with how I touch the mouse. This is not only aggravating but also a BIG waste of time -- two things that Apple has always (and should always) avoid. There was no issue with this with my old Mighty Mouse as the "ball" was very unlikely to be triggered accidentally and start the application scrolling through the images. On the other hand, I will most certainly NOT miss the balls propensity to "crud up". Hopefully this new purchase does not involve a Sophie's Choice - constantly cleaning the mouse or constantly having to get back to the image you were working on. Apple should be shooting for the best of both worlds.
On the other hand the MM is great when I'm working many other applications. I strongly agree with the previous comment that the MM control panel should have an application specific tab. That way I could disable the scroll feature when working in Aperture. Another alternative might be the ability to narrow down the "active" part of the mouse surface to minimize the chances of inadvertently activating the scroll feature.
I really hope there is a fix for this as I am frustrated enough that the MM is about to head to the drawer and I'll either go back to my Mighty Mouse or more likely a 3rd party traditional interface but blue tooth mouse.
Cheers

2 issues: SD port & Magic Mouse.

Alright, so currently I've been having two problems with my MacBook Pro, which I purchased in mid-May.
The first is that my SD port is no longer accepting my SD cards. Whenever I plug something in, nothing happens. I've tried 3 different cards, and when I plug them into my Father's computer, they work just fine.
The second issue is with my Magic Mouse. I often seem to lose connectivity, and I'm not sure why.
Any help would be lovely.

For the SD card I would take the machine to an Apple store or AASP. Can't help with the Magic Mouse.

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

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.

My iMac 2010 27" makes low noises EXCEPT when scrolling with my magic mouse.

It's like a low static electric noise but it stops when I scroll webpages and such with my magic mouse.

It's coming from inside the iMac and turning down/mute-ing doesn't change it and neither does it stop when I plug in headphones. It doesn't stop when I turn off the built in monitor.
The batteries are ok and no phone around. The sound is not like an interference sound. It's more like the sound the harddrive makes except not as loud and higher pitch (i guess).
The sound has been for a while. More than a month but not since I bought it.
Thanks for your reply!

Why can't I scroll only in Safari with my magic mouse

Every so often I can't scroll only in Safari ( Firefox etc. OK) with my magic mouse. I can resolve that by quitting Safari, holding the option key while clicking on Go. This brings up library,click and click on caches. Then click on Apple: safari. Trash the cachesDB and empty trash. Click on Safari and the previously open window comes back up and you can scroll. This lasts an indeterminate amount of time and then freezes again. How can I fix this permanently?

I just turned them off. Will see whether this solves the problem when I can go for days without it freezing. Thanks. One question. Why are the extensions on in the first place?

Is there a large, clear desk pad suitable for use with the Magic Mouse?

My well-loved Magic Mouse will not track on my clear, 36" X 24" desk pad and, thus, I'm looking to replace it with a clear desk pad at least as large, but suitable for use with the Magic Mouse. Currently, I'm using an extra-large Wowpad for my mouse. Would a clear, matte desk pad work as well as the Wowpad with my Magic Mouse, or must I continue to use the Wowpad and seperate desk pad? All suggestions grartefully accepted!

This will be possible once improved sharing and collaboration are released. This will be soon by is not yet available. You will see several threads in the forums of customers requesting folder sharing. Folder sharing will be one part of it, but also there will be private sharing with specific individuals.
Currently you can only share individual files and the shared url is public.
