Q: Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse Lag

Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013

OS X El Capitan 10.11.4

 

I finally upgraded to El Capitan from Yosemite. I'd never had any problems with my keyboard and mouse before. However, immediately after upgrading I've experienced lag/stuttering from my Magic Mouse. Also, my keyboard is at times unusable. I will hit the space bar and my computer will insert 5+. I'll hit backspace and it'll delete entire words/lines.

 

I've tried...

 

  1. restarting the computer.
  2. disconnecting/connecting bluetooth
  3. disconnecting/connecting mouse and keyboard
  4. removing and repairing mouse and keyboard
  5. restarting the computer more times :-)

 

Nothing seems to work. Any ideas/suggestions?

    Yes. I appreciate your kindness. Because you two didn't get offended when I didn't understand your replies, you have helped me greatly. Thanks. I am so pleased with my decision to go all Apple, but there is a learning curve for me from Windoze based units to OS X based devices. It's been fun for the most part. I don't remember where I learned about the communities, but except for one experience - it has been fun. I am moving soon and need to save multiple e-mails from a server to which I will be losing access. A senior adviser from Apple Support told me how to move my e-mails into On My Mac in Mail, but he told me I had to drag each individual one into the folder I created. After following his directions for about 100 e-mails, I tried going up to Edit and choosing select all. WOW! It worked. Then I could drag everything in the folder into my newly created folder in the On My Mac section of Mail. Wish he had told me this was an option. I thought the File and Edit options were only available in Pages. In 5 Minutes I was able to move my 1000+  e-mails into my newly created folders in On My Mac in Mail. Best Regards to seventy one

    There is another way, Rebekkah,

     

    Click on one mail which will highlight it, then move your finger to cmd button and you can then move down the page highlighting all the other mails.  Then on the last mail, click and drag to the folder and you will find all the highlighted ones will move at the same time.   When you have some time just practice doing this moving things back and forth, it will soon become second nature.

     

    Regards,  71.

    I did try to find a way to select all the mails, but nothing I tried worked. I just tried your suggestion. Since most of what I needed to move were located in individual folders, using select all allowed me to move everything from one folder to the next. I just tried your suggestion, and I discover that I can select specific mails using the command key. This way I don't have to move everything in the remaining folder. This is a great tip. Thanks. Since I am new to Apple, I still don't know much about using control, option, and command keys. I have another key to the left of the control key that has 'fn' on it. I have no idea what it will do. Do you know what that key will accomplish? Any tips are greatly appreciated. The tutorial at the beginning of setting up my iMac 21.5 is unable to be found by me. Perhaps it contained this information, but since I don't know how to access it, it is lost to me. Best Regards, RRR

    Thanks CCC. Appreciate the directions. Have printed them out and will follow them as guidelines to help me retain a sense of humor. I don't respond well when CS tell me I'm stupid when I know I am not.  Thanks for the encouragement. I see you have Dallas as location. I lived in Richardson when I was in High School. Never heard anyone use "y'all" 'til we moved there. After a community member implied I was stupid, I almost decided this was not a safe place. I don't want to stoop to Barry's level, but it took me several days to calm down after his rude comment to my attempt to help a fellow community member. Can you tell me how to find a community member who posted a review about a peripheral device at the Apple.com/store?

    You're welcome.

    Like any "workplace", there are many personalities - some on the grumpy side, I fear.

    Richardson: Pierce High? (I am OLD! Pierce was New when I was in HS)

    You will need to tell me what "peripheral" specifically - a timeframe would be VERY helpful - do you remember the userName?

    Just spotted this picture of the new and old Magic mouse side by side.

     

    Screen shot 2016-04-04 at 16.46.47.png

    The new one is on the right (note the black Apple)   In the same place as the catch to open the battery compartment on the old mouse, is the socket to take the cable for charging the new one.

    I installed MagicPrefs which didn't seem to help. Anyone else have ideas?
