Wireless Mighty Mouse Connect on Mouse Power ON?

So today I purchased a new Mighty Mouse at the Apple Store.
I love it, it's everything I wanted. One thing tho...
I use a MacBook Pro, so I don't always have the need to use my mouse (I usually use it just to game or when I don't want to use the touchpad).
I make use of the ON/OFF switch at the bottom of the mouse. I was just wondering *if there is a way to get the Mighty Mouse to connect automatically when I turn on the Mouse?* Thusfar, I have been needing to go to my Bluetooth preferences to manually connect it once it's turned on.
Thanks in Advance.

When you turn the mouse on, just click it several times and move it around, it will connect automatically.

Wireless Mighty Mouse Power Usage

OK, why can I not find how much power is used for Apple's Wireless Mighty Mouse. This mouse is cool and I like not being tethered BUT it is eating alive the batteries like they are nothing.
I disable the device by turning it off when I am not using it.
My solutions is to start using rechargeable batteries BUT as I read up on that technology it is clear I need to purchase the right ones, that will give me the longest use from them.
But to do this I need to figure out how much power the Mighty Mouse consumes if used constantly for say an hour.
I have looked every where including the Tech Spec's, one would think that information would be in there, but to no avail.
Thanks for any input in advance,
Rob

My Bluetooth mouse does the same thing. I can usually get about two months use out of the batteries using Alkaline. If I use Lithium batteries, about two weeks longer. So in the long run, for me at least, it's more cost effective to use the alkaline batteries. Lithium rechargeables are are available as well as other types of rechargeable batteries, but they never really seem to last as long as their non-rechargeable counterparts and of course after several charges, begin to have shorter and shorter lifespan between charges. At least that's been my experience and may or may not always be the case with all rechargeable batteries what with newer charging technology.

Connect Wireless Mighty Mouse to windows xp pro sp2 on bootcamp

I recently installed windows xp pro sp2 on bootcamp i tried to hook up my Wireless Mighty Mouse and I got basically nowhere. I was able to get the computer to recognize it and i typed in the passkey "0000" and it knows that it is a bluetooth device and I changed the settings of the bluetooth to "always" be discoverable and still I have hit a dead end. I can still not seem to connect the wireless mouse in any way. What do I do???

I FUIGURED IT OUT!!! omg im so happy right now. For anyone who might be wondering I'll tell you how to make it work it you had the same problem. Once you establish the mouse a device, highlight it in the devices menu, then click properties, then services, and once it is done searching check the box for the driver and click apply and your mouse should work.

Wireless Mighty Mouse unresponsive during Bluetooth connection to K800i

Whenever I use Bluetooth to sync my Sony Ericsson K800i with my Mac, I notice that my Wireless Mighty Mouse sometimes becomes slow and unresponsive. I have to switch the mouse off and on again, after switching off Bluetooth on the phone, for the mouse to go back to normal.
I am using a third-party plugin to provide iSync support for this phone, but I don't know if that would make a difference. I never had this issue with my K750i.
Any suggestions would be very welcome!
iMac Core 2 Duo 20" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The combo update rolls up all the patches Apple has released since 10.5 hit the shelves into one monster download; so you don't need to have installed 10.5.3 to install 10.5.4 - you can go from any version. Some users swear that applying the combo update makes for a more reliable Mac, and it fixed my Mac problem.
But beware the combo is over 1/2 Gb in size and will take a good while to download, even on a DSL connection. You can find it on the Apple downloads page at:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/
There are separate versions for the regular version of MacOS X and the more specialised server edition, so make sure you download the correct version (most people just need the file named Mac OS X 10.5.4 Combo Update).
Once you've got the update, close any applications you are running (remembering to save your data), double-click the update to start and follow the instructions. You will have to restart your machine at the end of the installation and rebooting may take a little longer than normal - this only happens the first time you restart your machine. Hopefully you'll be back in business as soon as you see the login prompt.
HTH.

Does Time Machine Backup irritate wireless Mighty Mouse?

Hi there. I'm having a strange issue here. With an iMac that came with bluetooth mouse and keyboard, OS out of the box (no software updates installed because there's no internet connection), each time Time Machine is backuping files, the Mighty Mouse is acting weird. It actually feels like someone else is working with it. Even if I do not use it and leave it alone, the pointer goes wild on the screen. Trying to work during Time Machine backups is impossible, because I cannot use the Mouse properly.
Does anyone of you have a similar, if not, the same issue? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
later, Stephan

I am having a similar problem with my IMac and Time Machine. During wireless Time Machine backups, the wireless mighty mouse and wireless keyboard disconnect. If the mighty mouse remains connected, it moves very slowly and is virtually unusable.
So far I've thought of two potential problems to troubleshoot:
1. I experience this problem when I connect to the Time Machine through the "802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)" wireless connection (set in the AirPort Utility), but I don't experience the same problem when I connect to the Time Machine through a wired ethernet connection. So it appears the b/g compatible setting is causing interference. I haven't tested to see if the "802.11n only" wireless connections causes this problem or not.
2. I also wonder if the IMac does not have enough RAM to complete the wireless backup. My IMac has 2gigs of RAM, and during backups it maxes out. I plan to upgrade to 4 gigs to see if the problem continues. (Stephan, how much RAM to you have installed?)
peace,
Marcus

Bluetooth headset disconnects wireless Mighty Mouse

I have a Jabra bluetooth pair of headphones (BT620S) that I use with my Intel iMac. They work great as headphones since they are connecting via A2DP. But they also have the option of being used as a headset, for example with softphones or similar. Only this is useless!
Every time I connect as a headset, my mouse disconnects and the sound result I get is really bad. It's like an inch thick concrete wall is between the headset and the computer, even though I'm sitting immediately in front of it?!
Any ideas? I've tried to unpair and pair both devices again. I also have a wireless Apple keyboard. Thanks!

was working and that i was able to go into bluetooth icon and it was active???"

Odd Wireless Mighty Mouse behavior with new Mac Pro?

Hi,
I have a brand new Mac pro and Wireless Apple Mighty Mouse & Keyboard.
The mouse however is not operating properly, it is jerky and slow to respond on a intermittent regular basis. I can move the cursor around the screen but it will stutter and jerk slowly then pick up ok?
I had the mouse and keyboard with my iMac and it worked fine. I have run all updates and re-installed but to no avail. The keyboard is fine.
I suspect it's a hardware issue with my new mac Pro but i'd love it if someone has any other possible causes.
Thanks.

Hi, there's a quite a few people with similar problems, including myself.
My keyboard likes to drop it's connection for no apparent reason, which in turn likes to mess up my mouse and cause it to stutter for a while. Pairing up new devices can do this too, I've found.
It's been thought that some Mac Pro's came with their WiFi and BT wires incorrectly fitted, if you have a search you should find a link to the tutorial if you want to try switching them around.
That said, it didn't make any difference to my BT keyboard and wireless Mighty Mouse, so I switched them back.
I've been hoping for a software fix, but no joy so far, glad I got a three year warranty as standard.

Wireless keyboard and Wireless Mighty Mouse failure

Hello,
I have just bought an iMac 20" with a wireless keyboard and wireless mighty mouse.
Both the keyboard and mouse will not work properly.
I followed the installation/setup instructions and paired first the keyboard and then mouse. Then the problems started.
1. Mighty Mouse tracking is dreadful and very slow (even after adjusting mouse properties)
2. Keyboard started to drop connection and then when awoke started repeating keys (as if key stuck)
3. Keyboard then disconnected and will not be recognised when searching for Bluetooth devices nor can I pair it again.
4. When both were working the Airport extreme wireless network would be lost (but I think that this is a red-herring and irrelevant)
Interesting once keyboard stopped working the wireless mouse tracking improved.
The only software I have installed since taking the iMac out of the box are (in order)
- Running/installing all Apple updates (including firmware 1.1)
- Installing Firefox 2.0
- Installing Adobe Reader 8.0
- Installing Stuffit Reader 11.0
- Installing Canon Bubble Jet Printer driver
- Installing latest version of Skype
If I use a USB mouse or keyboard they work ok.
This is the second replace imac within 2 weeks. The first had the same problem.
Can anybody help please as I'm new to Mac's after switching from a PC and I do not want to have to chuck either the keyboard or mouse or have the pain of Apple supplying me with a 3rd replacement iMac

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Congrats on the new Mac.
Did you Repair Disk Permissions after the software updates and installs?
Whether this solves this issue for you, it is something that you should always do. Go to Apps/Ut5ilities/Disk Utility and select your OS X HDD. Press Repair Permissions. Run Repair Permissions until no more repairs are reported.

Bluetooth not working = wireless mighty mouse not working too

I've received an apple wireless mighty mouse from my gf and it's not responding to anything. and my bluetooth icon in the top right of the screen says it's not enable everytime since. So it's surely in my imac the problem. Is there a way i can fix it buy myself or i have to send it to an apple store?
N.B. i have the same problem as the rest of the peps who have the latest update of Leopard

Wireless Mighty Mouse Right Button does not work well

Recently I bought in Online Apple Store a Wireless Mighty Mouse.
I installed the drivers that came in the CD, and, I defined in the System Preferences the second button of the mouse (the Right Button) to function as the Secondary Button.
But after the computer going to sleep and I wakes it up, or I stop a little to work with the Mouse, or then without none apparent reason, the Right Button behaves as the Left Button, like if it had one and only button in the Mouse.
To solve the problem I have to disconnect the mouse and/or the bluetooth connection, so that the Right Button functions again as I defined it in the System Preferences like a Secondary Button. But I think that is not the solution for who needs a mouse to work.
Therefore, I thank you a solution to solve this problem.
Sincerely,
Paulo
The computers where I worked with this Wireless Mighty Mouse and where I had this problem was:
- a PowerBook 12", 1.5GHz
- and a MacBook Pro 15", 1.83GHz
- both with MacOS 10.4.8
(Sorry for my bad english)

There are a few threads going describing this problem Discussions. (E.g., check out this one.)
It appears that there's probably a hardware QC issue with some fraction of the wireless Mighty Mice. Replacing the bad mouse -- either at a local Apple Store or via AppleCare online -- is what I'd suggest. (That's what I ended up doing and the replacement mouse has been fine.)

Wireless Mighty Mouse won't work properly with MacBook/tech support stumped

Hi. First post. Anyone heard of this problem? Appears to be location-sensitive. Problem described below, but first, short background...
Just bought entire Mac system after decades in corporate world with PC. Believed the TV ads that it would be simple. Already have been back to Mac store 6 times and have spent roughly 7 hours on phone with help line. Mac store even replaced Macbook entirely in case it was faulty logic board/Bluetooth circuit -- didn't help. Also, problem doesn't happen in store. So, to get to the point:
Wireless Mighty Mouse doesn't work properly when hooked up to Macbook -- herky-jerky, slow, unresponsive, sluggish, imprecise, intermittently better/worse. Went through a few Mighty Mouses and finally gave up; now using hardwire mouse and there's no problem. But before I return Mighty Mouse for refund, would like to see if there's a solution b/c I'd prefer wireless.
System is the latest little souped-up Macbook, 23" HD Cinema external monitor, external wireless Apple keyboard (which works fine), wireless Mighty Mouse (the culprit), Airport Express, HP printer. All brand new from local Mac store (Fifth Avenue, New York)... where the Genius counter folks have given up. I'm not convinced they believe me because (a) the problem doesn't occur there, and (b) after a couple of new Mighty Mouses, they finally just gave me a new Macbook to make me go away... but after going through the whole system setup once again, same problem. Have tried many different mousepads, BTW.
Tried all the stuff phone tech support suggested -- removing/installing/reinstalling software, etc. Airport works fine; using modem and printer connections there. Bluetooth works fine with keyboard. I've scouted around for intefering devices; even unplugged electrostatic loudspeakers and old tubed amps in living room (concrete wall separates rooms), unplugged hifi in same room, etc. On 40th floor of Manhattan hi-rise; concrete walls between neighbors. Have never had interference before with anything; previous PC system worked fine with Microsoft wireless (optical) mouse.
This is no longer urgent because hardwired Apple mouse works well. It's just mysterious.
Any thoughts?
Other than that, I like the Mac environment so far. Fifth Avenue store is cool, also, because it's open 24/7.

Hey, thanks! That was fast. I'm impressed by the Mac community.
This program helped my hardwired mouse, actually, and did give me wider parameters on the wireless mouse, but it didn't correct the herky-jerky/sluggishness -- actually amplified those problems.

I Think My Wireless Mighty Mouse is interfering with my wireless network

I Have had a Macbook months about and have been using the airport to connect to a wireless home network with WPA security.
This has worked great. However I recently purchased a Wireless Mighty Mouse. For some reason that I can not explain every time I start using the mouse with my Macbook my internet connection becomes very slow to the point where I cannot load webpages etc.
If anyone has any answers for why this my be happening it would be greatly appreciated

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
first of: Are you having these problems only in BootCamp Windows or is it also a problem in Mac OSX ?
The MacBook computer has an internal AirPort Extreme module, connected to a dedicated 1-lane PCI Express link and a Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR (enhanced data rate) module, connected to the USB 2.0 controller. AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth have independent built-in antennas.
And the Wireless Mighty Mouse uses Bluetooth for connection, not Airport (W-Lan).
Two totally different protocols.
Most likely that these two do not interfere.
Regards
Stefan

Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Mighty Mouse performing erratically

I got the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Mighty Mouse as soon as they were available and I haven't had any problems with them until a few days ago. Now, both devices will "disconnect" for a few moments (the screen will show the "Connection lost" icon) and immediately reconnect.
The keyboard usually does it so quickly that it doesn't affect my typing. The Mighty Mouse, however, will sometimes slow down to a very erratic, choppy refresh rate - something like a dusty ball mouse cca. 1994. This usually lasts for about a minute and then fixes itself.
This happens several times per hour. I've tried restarting the computer, restarting the devices (replacing the batteries), removing them as Bluetooth devices and pairing them again, turning Bluetooth on the computer on and off... nothing seems to fix this. Both devices have fresh rechargeable batteries in them, showing nearly-full charge in System Preferences.
Is this a known or common issue? Who's to blame, the mouse and keyboard or the iMac? Has anyone found a reasonable fix?
Thanks.

Hi Neven:
See my thread about IDENTICAL situation:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1235070&tstart=30
The erratic behavior is identical, except that only my wireless keyboard is misbehaving. Unlike you, it has become a major hassle for me when I am typing and my keyboard disconnects mid-keystroke. Or, I'm reviewing a website or my work and the keyboard disconnects three/four times in two minutes. Last night, for instance, I was watching something on TV in the background and I saw in amazement as my keyboard just kept disconnecting and reconnecting every 30 seconds.
Otherwise, it is same, same, same: fresh batteries, no other bluetooth devices, 18" distance from the iMAC.
I noticed this began to happen AFTER I downloaded and installed last weeks' iMAC update.
So I reiterate my comment from my own thread:
+_*APPLE, ARE YOU READING THESE POSTS?*_+
There's a ghost in the machine.

Wireless Mighty Mouse Sputters During Network activity

Has anyone figured this one out yet.
I have a wireless mighty mouse that when you copy files to or from a computer off a network,
it sputters and barely moves when trying to use it. If i plug in a usb mouse there is no problem at all.
Was using a verizon wireless router and just bought an airport extreme. Guess what. Still does it. When I hard wire my computer to the router all works fine.
I just cant think of what this could possibly be. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

There are a lot of people with this problem - mostly MacBook owners, but probably because they're more likely to have the wireless and BlueTooth running.
I have the problem with a Logitech mouse on a Mac Mini -- cursor goes bonkers at random intervals, with terrible mouse lag, and I basically can't use the mouse when it's happening. It doesn't correlate with anything I can see in the Activity Monitor, but I can stop it if I turn off BOTH Airport and the router.
Not likely to be RF interference with the signals, IMO, but some have reported that switching to an 802.11n router (or 802.11g with b compatibility disabled) solved the problem.

Wireless Mighty Mouse has stopped selecting, cutting or pasting

My batteries ran out two days ago. I changed the batteries but since then my wireless Mighty Mouse will not select text, cut or paste. It has other erratic behavior. Any help and advice welcomed.

Sending back to Apple. Free refund.

Wireless Mighty Mouse has "loose" top shell

Has anyone else observed/been annoyed by the "looseness" of the top shell on the Wireless Mighty Mouse? I've noticed that the top shell has a definite "give" to it that preceeds the intended click of the mouse. This results in an audible "click" as you hear the plastic top shell come into contact with the base of the mouse, as well as a physical "give" that throws off the whole clicking motion and otherwise makes this $70 mouse seem like a cheap plastic toy... I posted a video (ironically filmed using my built-in isight) of the whole thing. It's the first time I've posted a video online so make me feel competent and take a look and see if this is what you're suffering from. If there is a serious issue with this, maybe we could take this info back to apple...
The video of this can be found here:
