Wireless MM loses ability to click, but it still moves cursor.

WillJS · Mar 11, 2007, 02:45 PM

Basically in title.. the mouse will still move the cursor on the screen, but won't click. I have to delete it from Bluetooth prefs and reconfig it. Any ideas what going on?

Have you checked the batteries? I doubt this would effect it, but always worth a check.

All full.. this mouse is not a week old. I got a Apple BT keyboard and mouse maybe ~1 week ago.

That is very interesting. I have the opposite problem. My bluetooth one click Apple mouse will click but the cursor will not move. I have done many things to try to resolve the issue. I have another one of the exact same mice and the same problem, that I have, still occurs. Which leads me to believe that it is a problem with the bluetooth of the computer. My bluetooth keyboard works just fine, by the way. If you come across a solution for your problem it may help me with mine.

I've run into that a couple of times myself. I usually find that if I turn bluetooth off on my MBP and on the mouse as well it will come back after I turn them both back on.

It's somewhat humorous watching me clicking furiously away - baffled as to why nothing is happening.
