Yosemite killed Magic Mouse

Yosemite killed my Magic Mouse. It disconnects all of the time. Sometimes never reconnecting. Sometimes taking 15-20. Its so frustrating. Switching the mouse on/off from the mouse itself or via toggling Bluetooth on/off my MBP doesn't do anything. Manually trying to connect does nothing either. I participating in the Yosemite beta program from start to finish and submitted feedback on the issue numerous times.
Anyone else experiencing this or have a fix?
Thanks

You've probably fixed this by now, but I encountered it on a Macbook Pro after upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.1 from Mavericks, where the Magic Mouse worked fine. After booting into Yosemite after the upgrade, the Magic Mouse wouldn't resync and the Bluetooth preferences didn't show the mouse. I changed the mouse batteries, turned it off and on several times, turned the Macbook Pro's Bluetooth off and on, and removed the unconnected Magic Mouse listing from the Macbook Pro's Bluetooth Preferences.
I'm not positive what fixed it, but while struggling with this issue it occurred to me an iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard and an iPhone with Bluetooth enabled were just a foot or two away from the MBP. I moved the iPad with its Bluetooth keyboard and iPhone w/Btooth enabled to the next room and suddenly the Magic Mouse connected to the MBP. I then noticed the iPad or iPad Btooth keyboard showed up as available in the MBP's Bluetooth preferences, so I removed that, too.
I'm not sure if this was a coincidence, but the idea it might help struck me based on the following reasoning, which might be faulty:
- maybe Bluetooth in the Macbook Pro, the iPad and the iPhone were all detecting the Magic Mouse and the iPad and/or iPhone were "winning" or hogging, perhaps because they were on next to the Magic Mouse during the Macbook Pro's long hiatus during the Yosemite installation.
- maybe by the time the Macbook Pro finally booted to Yosemite, the iPhone and/or iPad had hogged the Magic Mouse Bluetooth identity so the MBP saw the Magic Mouse as unavailable even though the MM and iPad/iPhone were just friends, not a pair.
I had another iPhone next to the MBP but its Bluetooth was off.
I didn't have time to verify this after the Magic Mouse started working because I was charging a client an hourly rate, otherwise, I would have nailed it down. Still, the agony in the forums over this issue lead me to post this possibility in case it turns out to be true.

MacBook Pro update to Yosemite breaks Magic Mouse

Installed Yosemite today. Magic Mouse instantly broken. It does connect sometimes, but the tracking is sluggish and gestures don't work at all. Worked fine in Mavericks. Batteries @80%.
Re-pairing does NOT work for me. zaping PRAM does NOT work for me.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013)
2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
Is there a solution, patch? How can this be so terribly broken?

Hello,
The problem persist. I have this problem on a macbook pro 13" retina display. Upgraded to Yoseminte and big problem, my Apple Magic did not working anymore. After i replace batteries, restart mac, turn off turn on bluetooth several times, i connect the mouse. But guess what? After i close the lid and i go home, when open the mac again, surprise: NO MOUSE.
Please be serious and get an answer to this issue, both are your products, if APPLE products get errors of communications, what I should expect from others.
People buy Apple for commodity and for less number of problems, in fact Apple products are not so good as you think. So if you have problems like I cannot connect a mouse with a Macbook Pro, then Apple fail.
Guess what, in your Apple stores, people who maybe know some english, don't know to solve this problem, and they told me is a personal problem.
For sure I have personal problem with my mouse...
Thank you for testing Yoseminte before official Launch.
With respect,
Shanaki

Problem with magic mouse gestures in safari

iMac 27", mid 2011
16 GB 1333Mhz
Using OS X Yosemite, Safari, Magic Mouse
one day no problem at all, the next day, without any new installations:
Whenever I use the swipe gesture to go back to a previous page,
It does not work and I cannot scroll on this page anymore.
Shutting down Safari and restarting it works.
I read a lot about this, it seems to be a known problem.
I did not use terminal to use direct command for remedy, but tried everything else I read:
power own the mouse, taking battery out, switching off BT for Mouse, several restarts of the iMac etc.
Nothing helps.
As I am so used to the gestures for a very long tome, it takes only seconds, before I swipe back-- and that´s it!
I have to restart Safari.
I would be very thankful for your help!
best,
Fred

Hi seventy one,
many thanks for your efforts to help me!!

Re: Magic Mouse Scrolling Issuein response to Linc Davis
Hi Linc
Thank you for the extremely detailed response.
I think I have the issue solved for the minute at least.
I not only disconnected every cable from the Mac, as I had previously done, I also disconnected every cable from my peripherals and powered down every peripheral as well, then re-wired my set-up. This seems to have solved the issue. Not sure of the technical reason that this would have fixed my problem, but it seems to have fixed the issue for the moment anyway.
So, my problem is solved too!!
Many thanks

In Yosemite, Magic Mouse double-click function doesn't work

On my iMac running Yosemite 10.10.2, the double-click function on the Magic Mouse no longer works. So to open a folder, or anything for that matter, I must always do click-control ---and that doesn't work for everything. For example, I can't double click on a character in Glyphs, so this renders Glyphs useless. And so on... I have gone into preferences to see if anything was amiss in the settings, but everything checked out fine. Is there a fix for this, or do I have to wait for the next upgrade for Yosemite? Help! Thanks... --Royce

What's the answer to this mouse problem, please? Why does my double-click no longer work on my magic mouse since downloading Yosemite 10.10.2 to my iMac?
What's up Apple?

I am not able to scroll using Magic Mouse in MS Word for Mac 2011 (V14.4.5) on a MacAir with Yosemite? (

As of this morning I am not able to scroll using Magic Mouse in MS Word for Mac 2011 (V14.4.5) on a MacAir with Yosemite (V10.10). It seems to be isolated to MS Word. Any thoughts?

Have tried suggestions from here and elsewhere but scrolling not working for me (in Word only!) on magic mouse or trackpad.

My magic mouse won't connect to Yosemite 10.10.2 I've tried 2 different mice with the same outcome.

I have an early 2013 MBP with Yosemite 10.10.2. Connectivity with the magic mouse has steadily gotten worse, now it won't connect at all. I've tried connecting with two different mice, one about 5 years old and one about 2 years old, both with the same result. Any one else have this issue?

Hello rachste,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these mouse issues with your MacBook Pro. If you continue to have connectivity issues with your Bluetooth mice, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful (apologies if you have already seen it):

Magic Mouse scrolling issues in Yosemite

Ever since updating to Yosemite (10.10.1) on my MacBook Air (2014 - 1.4 GHz i5, 4GB ram), my Magic Mouse has been exhibiting some odd behavior. Often times when I try scrolling up and down a page in Chrome with a one-finger vertical motion, it decides to interpret the gesture as a one-finger right swipe instead, and ends up browsing back to the previous page. I have checked carefully and the scroll gesture I am making is definitely vertical, not at all horizontal or diagonal. Usually if I remove my hand from the mouse and try again it will be correct, though sometimes it takes a few tries. It's very annoying and only started happening after I updated to Yosemite.
Any ideas what could be causing this or how to fix it?

UGH my mouse is doing the same thing and it's ******* me off, I keep going back/forward between webpages when I only want to scroll. It seems 50/50 though...sometimes it scrolls, sometimes it just goes back but it's super annoying. Anyone have a fix?!?!?

Magic mouse is lag on Yosemite

My magic mouse is lag when macbook air mid 2013 was upgrade to Yosemite.
The mouse scrolling is sometimes slow but sometimes too fast on the safari page.
How to solve this is problem?

I'm on a Mac mini (Late 2012) running Yosemite (10.10.1) and had a lot of lag with my Magic Mouse. The mouse cursor would work smoothly for about 15 seconds then lag for about the next 15 seconds and continue the process all day every day since upgrading to Yosemite. I did the PRAM reset twice but it did not help.
Fixed for me:
Disable Internet Sharing
I came across this by accident when I noticed that my mouse was working fine all of a sudden and I went to reenable my internet sharing then the mouse started lagging again. Disabled internet sharing and mouse lag issues stopped. I'm also running Little Snitch 3.5 and I'm not sure if its a factor in the issue but it's currently active and mouse is running great. Will leave my internet sharing setting off.
Hope this fix works for someone else. Good Luck!

My magic mouse disconnects since upgrade to Yosemite upgrade

Since the upgrade to Yosemite my bluetooth magic mouse looses connection frequently. I have put in new batteries (the old ones were still good and working in something else), deleted then repaired the mouse. Nothing works. The problem is frequent and once it disconnects it usually takes two to three tries to reconnect and often requires a restart to get it connected again for what feels like a rather short time. This seems to be a bug in Yosemite. Has anyone found a solution?

Not a "bug."
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.

Magic Mouse stops working under Yosemite

Since upgrading to Yosemite, I've been experiencing an issue where occasionally the Magic Mouse stops working. I sit there and turn it off, turn it back on, sit there and click the mouse and move it around, but it doesn't connect to the computer. I go into the Bluetooth Preferences and unpair it, but it doesn't show up on the list of devices and so I can't re-pair it. Turning the Bluetooth off and then back on doesn't make it show up. So far, the only thing that seems to help is to restart the computer completely.
Has anyone else been experiencing this problem?

My Mac Mini's power button changed functionality with Mavericks. Now with a fast click of the power button the Mini sleeps. A little longer and you get a shut down dialog, and of course, hard shutdown holding for longer still. I don't know if the MacBook works like that in Yosemite. If it does, use the button to Sleep, then again to wake, and 99% of the time you have a Magic Mouse again, with Mavericks at least. Even if the button doesn't work, you can use control-fn-F2 to give the Apple Menu focus, down arrow to go down to Sleep, and Enter to make it happen. Then wake however you normally do. Still a nuisance, but slightly less intrusive than Restart, particularly if you have something you haven't saved yet. Worth a try maybe.
I only boot Yosemite for short periods from an external drive so far, so I can't vouch that this will work for it. I come from a background where you don't install version zero of anything. I have to say, with a clean install, so far I don't see the problems I read about here. Maybe I need to work for a whole day with Yosemite sometime.
PS. I just tried turning off the mouse in Yosemite (and saw the disconnection reported). Went to Sleep. Turned on the mouse while Sleeping, Woke Up, and the Magic Mouse reconnected just like Startup.

Magic Mouse on OS X Yosemite

Hello.
Recently, a friend gave me an Apple Mighty Mouse - Wireless version, still in the box and new!
Currently, I use a MacBook Air - 2014 model, with OS X Yosemite. Also, I have an Apple Magic Mouse which - naturally - works perfectly.
BUT, my question is: is it safe do use a Mighty Mouse on such a recent Mac?! Is it compatible with the current OS X version?
Thank you in advance for any info you may provide me with.
All the best!

It most likely is safe, but why use an old mouse when you have a new one?

Magic mouse battery level always 100% running Yosemite

Hi All i have had this problem since 1 year, also after updating to Yosemite the bug still exists, the battery of the magic mouse is always at 100% until it runs out of juice and it asks to replace battery.
Apple pls fix it or provide a terminal solution
thank you

1. Rechargeable batteries are different: the voltage stays practically the same untill the end of the charge, then they steeply fall to "empty".
2. You may have a not too healthy battery (happens sometimes). When the magic mouse or the cordless keyboard do not work well, changing the battery for a new one often solves the problem, even if the battery inside is "full".

Bluetooth problem with OSX Yosemite: Magic Mouse and Keyboard

Hello everyone,
I've a problem on my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 13" (late 2013).
I've always used it plugged with an external monitor (I love double screen), magic mouse and bluetooth keyboard. On Mavericks everything was perfect with this setup.
Yesterday I installed OSX Yosemite and I've found a boring problem: my Magic Mouse and my Bluetooth Keyboard have a 0.5 second of latency, lag. This happen when the Macbook is not plugged with battery charger. When he is on charge, the problem don't exist.
I noticed this bug also on the public beta of this summer and submit the feedback.
I hoped that they fixed this before release but the bug is still here.
How can i solve this boring problem?

I also reported this issue again and again during each beta release.
This makes the MacBook basically unusable in battery power for doing any kind of design and coding work.
I don't have any bluetooth addons or third party utilities. I also tried clearing PRAMs, and reinstalling Yosemite, to no avail.
Here are some threads about the issue, which, I'm noticing, is common.
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1802931
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1802838
Note that while the issue is kind of tolerable using the mouse, it's tragic with the keyboard.
Does this prevent you from using OS X Yosemite?
The issue makes it very difficult for me to use OS X Yosemite

Magic Mouse lost after log out on Yosemite

If I set my Mac Mini (Yosemite 10.10.2) to logout after it goes to sleep for a while, when I wake it up, I cannot use my Magic Mouse to click on the user in order to log in. Instead I have to plug in my usb mouse. Once I log in, the mouse makes up and goes to work. Any suggestions--other than simply disabling the password protection? That's okay at home, but not in my office.

You are welcome. Those resets frequently fix odd problems.
