As long as the MacPro is not in bluetooth range, you shouldn't need to unpair it. MAybe just try to pair on your MacBook Pro and report result?
Doesn't work. I just get stuck on this screen:
And the Magic mouse keeps blinking like its looking for its Mac Pro. The mac pro is off, in a truck, in a different country. How is this possible?
Last time this happened, I remoted to my Mac Pro using Back to My Mac and unpaired it using Screen Sharing, but I can't do that now because the Mac Pro is off. It worked like magic last time though.
I don't know then. Can you try taking the batteries out of your mouse for a few minutes and putting them back in and trying it?
Fix to unfair magic mouse without access to paired computer
Hey,
I know this is ages on but this will help as i couldn't find a fix for this anywhere until i went on live chat with apple. You need to do the following:
- turn off the mouse
- take out the batteries
- open bluetooth preferences, make sure there is no mouse paired. if there is click remove.
- put the batteries back in the mouse and switch it on. you'll see a light flashing that indicates its in pairing mode.
- in bluetooth preferences, click pair. The mouse should connect!
hope this helps
