WiFi downloads cause Bluetooth Mouse (e.g. Magic Trackpad) to stutter. Why?

Hi,
i got a magic mouse, a logitech USB mouse and now the magic trackpad. All the bluetooth devices stutter. Move slow and unpredictable. The USB-Mouse does not have this problem.
It only shows up, when using the WiFi heavy. Podcast-downloads or syncing Apple TV that is.
What may cause this Problem?
My Setup:
MBP13 late 2009 in desktop Mode
External Display
Wired Apple Keyboard
Firewire 800 external HD
USB Printer, iPod dock
Apple Magic Trackpad
Thanks!

Hi,
have no solution for it, so far. But have the same issue. It happens when I use the wireless-interface with about >20Mbit/s. My magic mouse stutters and moves really slow until the file-transfer is done.
Hope anyone has a good idea!

Can I have my wireless mouse and the magic trackpad both active at the same time next to my computer?

Can I have both my wireless mouse and the Magic Trackpad active at the same time next to my desktop iMac?

Yes. I do. I use the Trackpad to make fine adjustments for video edits.

Magic Mouse vs. Magic Trackpad

I've never owned a laptop, and the few times I used one, I found the trackpad a royal PITA (more accurately, Pain In The Finger/Hand/Wrist). But that was prior to the Magic Trackpad, and I'm wondering if my experience is specific to the types of trackpads found in those older laptops, or if it's pretty much what I'd experience with the MagicTrackpad.
Any "hands-on" opinions?

I have never used a magic mouse, but use my magic trackpad & built in trackpad ( I have a macbook air) relgiously. The magic trackpad uses amazing technology to sense your fingers, even in 4-5 fingers at once. Touching an apple trackpad is nothing like clicking a regular mouse / trackpad. I know this is a weird example, but picture touching a magic trackpad / magic mouse as touching your hair just hard enough to feel the skin. an apple trackpad / mouse is programmed to that kind of touch. Since you barely have to touch it, it rarely causes pain. There is no 'clicking' involved. The magic trackpad is flat, but if keeping your hand flat hurts, it may help to use the magic mouse or vice versa.

Does logic recognize gestures? Replace mouse with magic trackpad?

Can you replace your mouse with a trackpad? I use the wheel for zooming does logic recognize gestures?

I replaced my mouse with the Magic Trackpad when it came out and use it then on my office iMac and my Logic machine. I never looked back.
You can use the gestures to scroll and zoom in Logic and pretty much everthing else.
If you want to take the Trackpad and your customize workflow to the next level, get the BTT (Better Touch Tool) app. You can customize pretty much everything with any finger-touch-combination you can imagine.
Hope that helps

Magic trackpad not recognized by MacBook air

Macbook air bluetooth does not recognize Magic Trackpad when searching for bluetooth pairings. Printed instructions followed.Can I download something that remedies this, or is it a limitation of the MacBOok Air itself?

I called Apple Support. My early 2008 version of the MacBook is not compatible with the Magic Trackpad.

How do I set up the magic trackpad when I can't access System Preferences

Bought a new iMac and Magic Mouse. After initial installation, decided to swap mouse for the Magic Trackpad.
Trackpad is turned on but I am unable to access System Preferences since my iMac was paired with the Magic Mouse. I don't have another USB mouse to complete the pairing. Any suggestions? Thank You.

Nancy,
If you have the bluetooth icon in the menubar, you can reach that and open bluetooth preferences by
pressing FN CNTL F8. This will move focus to the right side of the menubar, then arrow across and down to get to the options you need. Press the spacebar for "enter".
Regards,

Organizer Tray for Apple Wired Keyboard & Magic Trackpad

Greetings,
I have found several "organizer tray" products online for positioning the Bluetooth keyboard and the Magic Trackpad like a Macbook Pro where the trackpad is just below the keyboard.
I am curious to know if anyone has seen or has a tray that will organize the Apple wired aluminum keyboard with the numeric keypad and the Magic Trackpad.
I find that I'm getting RSI in my fingers and wrist having the trackpad to the right of the keyboard.
Anyone seen anything?
Thank-you!
Derrick

Just found another one; a slightly different configuration and less than half the price: http://www.magiclapdesk.com/magiclapdesk-for-apple-trackpad.html Good luck!

Conflict Between Bluetooth Mouse and WIFI?

I Bought the new MBPR X72 and a Iogitech Bluetooth Mouse.When i download something by Wifi,My mouse can't work well.I search the answer on Google,some people said that there is a conflict between Bluetooth mouse and Wifi.Because they are both use the 2.4G HZ.So anyone can help me ??

If you are on your home network, you could set the router and MBPr to use only the 5 GHz band if you are using the n-protocol WiFi. That would mean logging intothe router and changing band usage settings. The MBPr would follow what it sees as the wireless signal.

Magic Trackpad causing Bluetooth audio interference

Was having intermittent bluetooth audio connection problems; on/off; and realized the cause was the new Magic Trackpad I had just set up. When it's bluetooth connected; it will interfere with my other bluetooth audio reception.
Is there a fix for this?
Update: Disconnecting my Magic Mouse ended the interference; I wonder if the two are not able to run together?

Crosspost from the thread specified above:
I am experiencing a problem like this one.
I have a Motorola DC800 A2DP gateway and a Magic Mouse. Music sounds perfectly until I connect the mouse through BT: at this point, audio will only sound for 1 second and then it will stop and remain silent.
I have tried resetting preferences, etc. and now I know there is a conflict between these devices: as soon as I disconnect the mouse, music starts coming through again.
This is very very annoying...if anyone knows of a workaround so I can use them both simultaneously I would really appreciate if it is posted here.
Thanks,

Getting quite frustrated with my iPhone 4S. Can't access WIFI and/or Bluetooth nor will my computer allow it to be a "hotspot" unless physically tethered to computer. It started acting up after download....it also has messed up some app

I've only had this phone since Sept. and have already had to have the speaker replaced. NOW I can't access wifi and/or bluetooth (both are grey). I can't use the Personal Hotspot either (and the passcode no longer shows up). I can only access internet via the phone through the USB. This started over the past few days (and after I updated to IOS).
Some of my apps no longer work either...over 100+ hours of audiobooks on Audible can't be accessed as the Audible app just shuts off.
Any recommendations on how to recify? I'm pretty rural so downloaded anything takes going to the next town over to get a signal from the library... and all of my searching is eating into my 5gb limit through ATT....so it is a bit irritating

called Apple Care this a.m....new upgrade on 12/31/12 is supposed to fix the "bug"

Bluetooth mouse slows down wifi

I recently bought logitech bluetooth mouse V470 to use with my Thinkpad s440. The problem is whenever the mouse is connected, my wifi slows down dramatically, turning off the mouse recovers the internet speed.Can anyone suggest a fix for this issue

You could try changing the channel that your wi-fi uses for creating the LAN. You would need to do this in your router configuration.

Set Up Bluetooth Mouse does not discover magic mouse

Had been having difficulty with magic mouse randomly exhibiting eratic scrolling so went into system preferences to reset the mouse settings (may have happened when upgraded to snow leopard). Under Bluetooth, mouse is paired and on but when i went into mouse settings and tried to use Set Up Bluetooth Mouse (I changed settings to enable two finger scrolling) mouse is not found. BTW there is a USB mouse connected, which I did when the eratic problems started.

Hello:
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.
I am not sure what would happen if both the Bluetooth and USB mice were connected at the same time......

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!

HP Bluetooth Mouse Z8000 Will Not Pair with HP EliteBook 840 G1

I have an HP EliteBook 840 G1 running Windows 7 64-bit. I recently purchased the HP Bluetooth Mouse Z8000. I cannot pair the mouse with my PC. The mouse is working properly, I can pair it with my iMac with no issues. The HP EliteBook's Bluetooth radio is working properly, I am amble to pair my Apple Magic Mouse, Bose Speaker, iPhone, printer, etc. with no issues. The HP EliteBook does not even detect the Z8000 mouse. The iMac detects it immediately. What am I doing wrong? Is there a driver to download? The mouse says Bluetooth Smart on the box, which I understand in Bluetooth 4.0. According the HP's documentation, my EliteBook has Bluetooth 4.0? How can I confirm this?

Hi, Your machine can have 1 of the following options: WLAN:
Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 802.11ac (2x2) WiFi and Bluetooth® 4.0 Combo
Intel® Dual Band Wireless-N 7260AN 802.11a/b/g/n (2x2) WiFi and Bluetooth® 4.0 Combo
Intel® Dual Band Wireless-N 7260NB 802.11a/b/g/n (2x2) WiFi Broadcom 802.11a/b/g/n (2x2) and Bluetooth® 4.0 Combo Now, please check Device Manager (Network Adapters) to see which wireless card is on your machine because one card does not have BT. Regards.
