Wireless Mighty Mouse won't connect with MacBook Pro in Bootcamp

I recently swapped my Bootcamp-partitioned hard drive from an older Core Duo MacBook to a late-2007 Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro.  I had no problem using the wireless mouse with the MacBook.  I'd click on the Windows desktop once it booted up and it worked flawlessly.
But on the newer MacBook Pro it won't stay connected.  I have to pair it with the Windows Bluetooth control panel each time I log in.
I'm not sure if this is connected to the issue or not, but I'm not able to use the trackpad and buttons on the MacBook Pro keyboard either.
I've seached the discussions without any success.  Advice anyone?
Thanks in advance.

Well, by some stroke of dumb luck it finally connected. I slid the on/off switch open until the green light started to blink, when the mouse connected I opened it all the way and decided to work.

  • Apple magic mouse keeps losing connection with Macbook pro

    I have a 2012 macbook pro, after upgrading to Mavericks(10.9.1, not have any other 3rd party software,just pure OS X), my magic mouse always losing bluetooth connection suddenly every one or two days. When losing connection, I found the bluetooth chipset type showing in macbook system information changed to unkown (FFFF). I have contacted with apple global support, and also have not gotten the solution. Just cleaning cache, and ect. but still didn't work.
    When I downgrading the OS X to 10.8.5 Mountain Lion, same macbook, same magic mouse, work very well. Never happened lose connection issue during one and a half month.  So, it should be a Mavericks bluetooth driver's issue, or something reletived.
    Any body have some good idea in solving this issue?
    Thanks in advance!

    I have the same problem with a 2007 MacBook Pro on Snow Leopard. As soon as I changed the mouse's batteries, it started losing connection every few seconds. The mouse came with Energizer batteries originally - they supposedly don't fit well, but the mouse worked fine. I exchanged them with Duracell, which gave problems. Now I have Varta batteries installed, they give problems too. The paper-trick doesn't work for me.
    Quite franky, I think it's rediculous that a fancy €69,- wireless mouse is so fussy about batteries. It's impossible to work with it. Is this just another way for Apple to get people to buy their batteries? I think a mouse this expensive should accept any and all batteries. Please, Apple: fix it. Seems like a really simple matter. Just put longer and stronger springs in the contacts for the negative poles.
    Thanks.

    You could try updating your apple TV and then restarting it. Bit of a guess.

  • 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.

  • Mighty mouse won't connect after reboot

    Hi all,
    I updated my ~3 month old Mac Pro with the latest security update on 11/13/2009, and went home for the weekend. Returning on Monday 11/16/2009, I found that my mighty mouse would not connect to the Mac. I'd had intermittent connection issues previously, so I rebooted to no avail. Investigating further, I found that if I click on the Bluetooth menu and select the mighty mouse and click Connect, the Bluetooth icon flashes to connected briefly then back to unconnected. I can repeat this ad nauseum with no success. If I go into Mouse preferences and select Set Up Bluetooth Mouse, and then turn the mighty mouse off and then on to initiate pairing, the setup window will find the mouse. I then click Continue and it attempts to connect, but on the first try it always fails. If I then repeat the discovery and connection process again, it will pair successfully. After that the mouse works normally. However if I reboot my machine, the pairing is lost when Mac OS comes back up. This always happens with the mighty mouse, and maybe 50% of the time when I perform the same procedure with my wireless keyboard. I then have to go through the semi-successful pairing process again. I've tried various fixes including deleting the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and rebooting, but nothing has solved this. This also happens if I try to use a magic mouse I bought for my Macbook Pro on the Mac Pro. I haven't had any bluetooth problems on the laptop.
    This was addressed in another post but the original user marked it as answered after Apple had him pair the mouse with another computer and then with the first. Tried that too, doesn't work for me.

  • Apple wireless Mighty Mouse not working in Windows XP Pro/Boot Camp

    I was able to get Windows XP Pro to install successfully on my new iMac, but I can only get a wired Microsoft USB mouse to work with it. When I boot to WinXP with just my wireless Mighty Mouse, the wireless mouse is completely unresponsive. Has anyone else experienced this, and is there a solution? Thanks!

  • Slow Connection with MacBook Pro

    Whenever I try to connect my MacBook Pro (Early 2011) to the Apple TV (3rd generation) for Aiplay Mirroring, it takes a long time to connect, and when it connects, the screen is almost frozen and the same happens when I try home sharing, everyting I play starts lagging, Airplaying music works for a bit then starts lagging every two seconds. I've tried AirPlay with my iPhone 4s and it works perfectly with music video and mirroring. I'm using the latest OS on all devices.

    Sounds like it is not getting a great WiFi conneciton.  Streaming video is not tolorant of anyting other than a perfect connection.   You need a newer WiFi routner to support streaming video.  If you have one that supports the N standard then I would try resetting your Wifi router.

  • HP wireless USB mouse won't connect.

    I have an HP wireless mouse that uses a battery and USB to connect. It connects fine with my Windows but can't be found with my Macbook Pro. Any suggestions? Thank you.

    It still doesn't connect. I plug the USB into the port, switch the mouse to "on" and then hit the connect button. Then a light on the mouse, below the scroll wheel, blinks orange.
    Have you tried new batteries in the mouse?
    Have you tried putting the receiver in the other USB port? Along with new batteries in the mouse?
    Could be the USB port you have the receiver plugged into does not properly power the receiver.

  • My HP 8600 is connected to a wireless network and won't print from MacBook Pro.

    There is an error message that appears in printer status screen that says spool area is full.  I cannot find what this means or any way to resolve it.  

    Try reboot the MacBook, if that doesn't help, you have to manually clean the spool, google "MacBook Pro clean spool" or post the version of OS X so someone can get you the steps.

  • Canon Pixma MP500 Printer won't print with MacBook Pro

    I just bought a brand new MacBook Pro to replace an older PowerBook G4 laptop. I have a relatively new printer - maybe one year old - a Pixma MP500 from Canon that worked fine with the old laptop. I can't seem to get it to work with the new MacBook. I can use it as a scanner no problem with the new laptop, but not as a printer. I installed the software from the original Canon CD, but when I go to "add printer" MP500 shows up in the list as a USB printer but won't add. When I try to add it I get a -9672 error. Anyone out there with any idea what to do?

    Hi, I actually did tried doing exactly that (should have mentioned it in my first email) and just tried it once more for good measure, but I still get the error message when I go to add the printer. So, MP500 shows up in my printer name list, with USB as the connection type, and print using shows Canon IJ Printer, but when I go to add I get "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer. Error: -9672". Help!

  • Actatel 871 cellphone won't pair with Macbook Pro using system 10.0/4

    I have a 3 month old Macbook Pro that came with Maverick on it (10.9.4) and I am unable to pair it successfully with my Actatel 871 phone which works perfectly with my iMac using system 10.6.8.  It will look like it's pairing, then when I send a picture from my Actatel 871, it says "unfinished" And when I try to connect with bluetooth, it says "connection failed". Yet I can send a file from my computer to the phone using bluetooth.
    My husband's Pantech Swift would not send a photo either but I figured a way around that which does work on the Actatel 871. If I open my bluetooth file exchange, do to the "file" menu, I can pick "Browse device" and that way I can get photos off his phone. When I try doing that with my phone, it says that my device is not set up for that. Using the iMac with system 10.6.8 is so easy to use, you just send the files from both phones and they arrive on my computer.
    Does anyone know if the Maverick is not compatible with some phones that were compatible with 10.6.8? Or perhaps I'm doing it incorrectly? Has anyone else had a similar problem?
    Thank you, Martha

    Hi mflembeck!
    Thanks for posting!
    I would like for you to check over a few things that will help me determine what is causing this.
    What specific version of EOS Utility are you using?
    Are you using the old configuration on the camera or have you tried forgetting those settings and starting a completely new setup?
    Also, just to be sure, do you have an ethernet connection to the Macbook at the same time as you have the wireless connection?

  • B110a won't connect to Macbook pro or IPAD

    I've got a B110a serial number CN0CN3V63605J8, running firmware CHL1FN1113AR FW patch 0.
    It's sat on a home wireless network with a DLINK router DSL-270R.
    I can print to it with all my 3 PCs using drivers dowloaded from the HP website. All 3 PCs are different makes.
    I am unable to print to it using either a MacBook Pro or IPAD1.  I've read the support forums and tried some of the fixes but to no avail.
    My Macbook is running LION, I downloaded the latest drivers on the 13th August from Apple.  My IPAD is running OS4.3.3.
    Neither Macbook nor IPAD "see' the printer.
    I read on the HP website that the b110a is capable of printing with Macs, but with a firmware update.  I can't do this from the b110a.  When I go to Set up>Preferences>Product Updates, I get the following error message "There was a problem connecting to the server, press retry to connect again of OK to exit"
    Any ideas.  I'm thinking it's either the need for a firmware update, or that the router is masking MAC, but I don't really understand this.
    Thanks
    This question was solved.

    Great work, thanks!
    Yes, I mean upgrade the firmware on the router.  This could be the source of all of your troubles.  You could even try to cycle power on your router to reboot it, then try again.  But, I would really try to check its firmware.
    To get into your router settings type 192.168.0.1 into a browser address window.  The login is 'admin' and there is no password.  See if you can find a way to update firmware from there.  If it is not obvious, go to the D-link support website and hunt around.

  • Macbook Pro Airport Won't Connect When Macbook Pro Bootcamp Will

    I have a Macbook Pro 2.16GHz Core Duo that has had problems with Airport connectivity since I got it. I can never get anyone to help me with it because it will never show the problem at the Apple Store.
    One place that I have to work at has been very, very frustrating.
    They have a number of access points called Wireless #1, Wireless #2, and so on. Every access point is a Linksys-Cisco WAP54GP. All of them are on channel 6. They are using a WEP 40-bit hex key with the same key on every AP. They don't understand the obvious flaws in their system, they will not change it nor help me...at all, so there's no point in suggesting things along that route.
    I know that their network and their key works, though, because if I reboot into Windows on the SAME machine it works fine and the connection is great. Mac OS, however, will not connect and will not tell me why. All it will say is "There was an error joining the network." I have read suggestions saying that you have to put a $ or "0x" in front of the key to signify that it is a hex key (which I don't have to use on other WEP hex key networks), but when I try to type that in, the password dialog will not allow the characters $ or "x" and it beeps at me.
    Does anyone have any help for me?

    It will connect to other networks with and without
    WEP. It will connect to other networks that use
    WPA.
    There are many networks, though, that give me the
    "There was an error joining the network.", and I
    don't know why.
    I cannot enter a $. As I stated previously, the Join
    Network dialog will not allow me to enter that
    character when it is set to WEP 40/128 bit hex.
    Also, as I have already said, I cannot change the
    network to WPA. I understand the benefits of WPA
    over WEP, but I am not the network administrator.
    They will NOT change their settings. I know the
    network works with Windows on my computer. What is
    it about Mac OS that is preventing this?
    Prior to the last Security Update, I believe 2007-02, broke access to 2wire Routers. It was very frustrating to me as well. The fault or problem, I believe, may lie in a firmware update to these routers. I performed one for my 2wire router and I am now able to connect.
    My theory...

  • Problem while using Internet USB Connection with Macbook Pro

    Hi...
    My name is udayan and i am from India, I am using MACBOOK PRO from last 1 year. For most of this period i have used wi-fi connection for my laptop. But recently i have purchased a Relience Net connect Device for Internet facility. As soon as i started using this device, i have started facing an unusual problem. Whenever i start using it, after 5-10 mins. a fade screen appears and asks me to RESTART the laptop. This keeps on happening after every 10-15 mins which is pretty annoying. I have tried to use the same Internet device on normal laptops and it works just fine with that machine.
    Can you please help me to understand this phenomena? Is it a MAC limitation or something else?
    Hope to hear it from you soon.....
    Cheers!!!

    I tried to connect with Ethernet the MACBOOK Pro to the modem but the situation hasn't changed
    Are you saying you cannot connect to the internet wirelessly and through the ethernet?  If so, there is something else going on.

  • DLink router wont connect with MacBook Pro

    Hello Everyone... I need a little bit of help on this one!!
    My mom just bought a brand new MacBook Pro (yay, she finally switched!) , but for some reason I can not get her MBP to connect to their wireless. The Airport card will no even find the network to connect to. There is not a password set and asking my parents they are not sure if there was a cd or anything to set it up. They have a DLink router that is several years old (DI-624 is the model #) and I have been scratching my brain to figure this out and can not get it!! There are several posts that give suggestions, but none seem relevant to my problem.
    Any help would be awesome and thank you sooo much for your help!!

    assuming your mum's previous computer was/still is able to connect to the DLink, it probably means that SSID Broadcast in the wifi settings (of the DLInk) has been turned off. which means nothing can 'see' the DLink that hasn't connected to it previously.
    you'll need to temporarily plug the MBP into the DLink via a Cat5 Ethernet cable, log into the DLink's config website (probably http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1), and check the wifi settings. no install CD required
    u said no 'password' had been set. do you mean no wifi encryption had been configured? you'd be well advised to if there's anyone living within 100m of your Mum . while you're at it, see what encryption settings have been set up there / are available. if it's WEP (or no encryption at all as you suggest?), you'd be well advised to change it to WPA. WEP is now hopelessly broken (easily crackable within a minute with the right tools). just be aware that any change here will affect any other wireless device that's also using the DLink.
    if WPA is not offered, goto the DLink website and check for new firmware...
