Wireless Mighty Mouse

[nb.]

I've had an Intel iMac since January and have been using a bluetooth Mighty Mouse with it. Recently, whenever I restarted my computer, my mouse wouldn't pair with it. I had to restart it multiple times in order to get it to pair. Now, it won't pair at all. OS X will see that my mouse is there, but when it tries to connect and pair it fails.

I've tried replacing the batteries and have got the same result. Does anybody know how to fix this problem? Is there a way for me to 'reset' my mouse?

Unplug the batteries for like 10 minutes? A real shot in the dark but it's worked for me in the past.

Use the switch on the bottom of your Mighty Mouse to turn it off, remove the batteries, wait 5 minutes, put the batteries back in, and then switch it back on. If this doesn't work, contact Apple as there is a 1 year warranty on the Mighty Mouse, they can send you a new one if they determine that yours is defective.

If possible take the Mighty Mouse to your local Apple Retail Store, sounds like a case of a Bluetooth Transmitter going bad and should be covered under your computer's 1 year Factory Warranty.

Like most dead mice, you can either bury it in the backyard or flush it down the toilet. I recommend a Logitech Bluetooth mouse as a replacement. I'm sorry, but the MM (wireless especially) are just junk.

It was indeed a faulty mouse. I was able to get Apple to send me a new one under warranty and everything works fine now. Thanks for all the help everybody!

is there a third party mouse for mac with the side buttons?

i had the wired MM and always annoyed me when trying to make a right click will do the left instead LOL

other than that i am ok with it, then started to hunt down another mouse a wireless one but couldn't find any with those extra buttons and i am very used to them, so ended up buying a Wireless MM from ebay, so far i am happy with it, but still wondered if there was any alternative Bluetooth mouse.

I have been using a wireless might mouse for the past 2 days and I really like it. It sleeps with my macbook and wakes with it and works great. I don't see why it gets such bad reviews.

Mainly because people have persistent issues with the scroll ball getting clogged with dirt and not working, and Apple has yet to remedy the situation. They either need to redesign how the scroll ball works or make the mouse easy to take apart to clean. Right now, you literally have to break apart the mouse to get inside it.

I guess they are redesigning it since there was practically no updates to it
