Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
So I’ve had my MacBook and my Apple mouse for awhile and recently started getting back to the routine of using it but I am having trouble connecting my mouse to the Mac and having it respond, What should I do?

If it is an Apple Magic Mouse 1, then just throw it away, and replace it with a Magic Mouse 2. I replaced three MM1 devices before I followed my own advice here.
If we are talking about a Magic Mouse 2, then ensure that it is appropriately charged, and powered on before you turn on the Mac, so the Bluetooth handshake can occur during the boot process. If you try this after the Mac has booted, the potentially lengthy pairing process will annoy you. When all else fails, cycle power on the mouse, and move it a few times to see if the pairing process will occur and you receive a connected message on screen.
