Update 10.8.1 and my magic mouse will not stay connected

I have just updated both my MacBook Pro 17" and my iMac to Mountain Lion 10.8.1.
Almost immediately, my Apple wireless 'Magic Mouse' disconnects after a minute or two of use from either/both computers and will re-connect with a few clicks when this happens.
Prior to updating I never had this problem with either computer or either mouse.
Both of my 'Magic Trackpads' work properly with no disconnects.
I have turned off each Magic Mouse, tried one then the other however there appears to be no solution to this problem.
I have concluded this must be a result of the update to 10.8.1.
Any ideas or potential solutions will be welcomed.

     I've also been experiencing similiar issues since updating to 10.8.1 on my newer model 13" MacBook Pro.  The wireless mighty mouse I have will initially work with my computer, but then after a seemingly arbitrary (short) amount of time, I lose bluetooth connectivity although my MacBook Pro still shows me as being "connected" to this device.  At times the issue will resolve itself, but more often than not it requires a complete restart to remedy.
     On a possibly related note, has anyone else noticed that the bluetooth icon in the toolbar, when clicked on, results in the infamous Apple pinwheel alot since the update as well?  I wonder if this is somehow a related issue?
     I went into an Apple store about the mighty mouse connectivity issue and couldn't get a solution.  The diagnositics all checked out.  Store representative told me that they could take it over night to do a more thorough checkup, but I wasn't ready to part with my laptop over this issue...just yet.
     Anyone with answers, please help.

    I just bought a new laptop and my ipod nano will not stay connected to my computer. When I first connect the ipod it starts to sync on my ipod but not on itunes. The ipod is initially connected to my computer, I can see it when I look on devices in my computer. However, when it finishes syncing it is no longer detected to my computer. I cannot transfer any of my songs to my new laptop because of this. I have tried to reinstall itunes, reset my ipod and use a different port. None of these things worked. Any ideas?

  • IMac and Mac Book Pro will not stay connected to WiFi on TC

    Hi,
    I'm a new Mac owner, and I changed completely over to Apple over the weekend.  Have na iMac and Mac Book Pro with a 2 TB Time Capsule.  Hooked everythng up and all seems to be working, except everytime my computers go into sleep mode when I wake them up they ask me to select my wireless network again because I lost connection.  Once I select my network it works fine until the computer goes to sleep.  WhenI wake it up, it asks me again.  I have it set to automatically connect to known networks, but it doesn't.  I have to click on it everytime I wake up the computer.  Before I hooked up the TC, I was using my old wireless router and it stayed connected.  Now that I put the TC in as my wireless neteork it asks me to select my network.  Is there something I'm not doing that may help the iMac and Mac Book Pro stay connected?
    Thanks. 

    For that particular WiFi update, yes - it means you can't download it. However, that update may have been included already in M-L 10.8 ...
    I feel your pain regarding these anomalies - I had the same problems on my year-old iMac that I just exchanged with Apple for a new one - I had worked these software/network issues on the old one for over five months, and finally, I demanded a new system as a replacement. Just too many problems. For me, Update 10.7.3 for Lion was the cause of my network problems. The WiFi update/patch solved the sleep issue for me, but not the auto-connect problem for system start-up's and restart's. After system start-up's and restart's, I would have to manually select my router address to connect via WiFi. But after manually selecting the address, the WiFi connection would stay-on - it wouldn't drop-off.
    Again, with this replacement iMac, I don't even trust its WiFi capability - and with a desktop, why should I ? I simply purchased a Cat-6 Ethernet cable, and wired it into my Time Capsule ... To heck with WiFi ! ... Remember: don't download ANY system updates wirelessly ! Don't do it. ... Apple will rue the day they did away with Ethernet connectors on their computers ... - The same goes for CD-based software, or at least some other "physical" means for software installation ...
    But, as for future system updates, and how they affect this new iMac ? - If they screw it up, I'm not messing with it ! - Apple's getting it back, the next day ! I'm not going to go through five months of testing, repairs, forced new purchases, etc. etc. ever again ...

    Hi,
    I am having the same issue listed above on my new Mac Mini i just bought, I also contacted Express VPN support and got the same instructions with exception of the command to run in the utilities terminal.  I tried the steps listed, and both commands (posted here, and sent to me directly by Express VPN support), and still unable to connect on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.2, but I am able to connect on my iPad and my MacBook which is running Mac OS X 10.6.8.  Usually Express VPN is spot on with their customer support, but this is taking longer to get resolved.  Here is the steps sent to me
    Try doing the following to see if the problem gets resolved:
    Please follow the instructions here: https://www.expressvpn.org/support/setting_dns_servers_mac_os
    (should still be the same for Lion) and then add the following DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 & 208.67.222.220. After adding the DNS servers, please do the following steps as well:
    Note: If you're connecting to your ISP via a PPPoE connection, then set the DNS servers on the PPPoE connection itself and then restart your computer for the DNS settings to take effect.
    1. Click on Applications
    2. Click on Utilities
    3. Click on Terminal
    4. Type the following command (without the quotes): "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"
    5. Press enter and then try reconnecting to the VPN.
    If you're still unable to connect, please send us in the latest log files.
    Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

  • 10.10.1 magic mouse will not scroll now

    10.10.1 magic mouse will not scroll now
    anyone else having this problem
    mouse works... is recognized but the preference pane
    has not swipe selection and i cannot turn off bluetooth

    To resolve this issue try the following:
    from the upper left corner of your screen click:
    1.  / system preferences / bluetooth
    2. Locate your mouse under the devices panel
    3. Remove your mouse
    Click on it so it is highlighted in blue
    Click in the blue "x" or you can click delete after you have selected your mouse.
    4. Reconnect your mouse (re "pair" ) your mouse
    This should resolve the scrolling issue if it occurred after the 10.10.1 update.

  • Magic Mouse will not pair (OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1)

    All of a sudden my Magic Mouse will not pair. Very annoying!
    I have changed the batteries, several times, so the light is on on the Magic Mouse.
    I have opened System Preference/Bluetooth. I can see that it is searching for devices but it is not connecting to the Magic Mouse.
    I currently have a Apple Wireless Keyboard and have paired an Ultrathin Touch Mouse in the interim, but I want my Magic Mouse back.
    Can someone please help (in a language that I can understand) with this issue.
    Thank you so much.
    Cheers

    Try a PRAM and SMC reset of your Mac.
    You may need to use an Apple Wired Keyboard to perform the PRAM reset.

    Iran uses GSM, so the iPhone 5 will work.  It is already unlocked.  Just put local Iranian SIM in phone.

    Try a soft reset - press the home and power bottons and keep them pressed until the Apple logo comes on.  Then see if you can access Settings.

  • IPad 3 and iPhone 5 will not stay connected to wifi although I am close to router and have strong signal

    iPad 3 and iPhone 5 will not stay connected to wifi although I am close to router and have strong signal. I have to keep joining the network or restarting devices or forgetting network and rejoining it.  As a side note my 1st gen iPhone which I upgraded to iPhone 5 yesterday always stayed connected!

    The steps to try would be to:
    1. Restore the iPhone to Factory.
    2. If that does not solve the problem replace the iPhone.
    If Verizon is offering to replace the iPhone for free under warranty I would go with that option.
