Magic mouse not working - not moving cursor - after 11.5 update

Thanks Jeffrey

Always helpful to work through the basics but the article didn't really help. I had power cycled the mouse and the Mac Mini, repaired the blue-tooth connection after manually disconnecting and confirmed there were no other sources of interference close by.

Being the version 1 magic mouse there's no option to directly connect via lightning/usb so that doesn't help either.

Other functions of the mouse are working as expected and without delay or hesitation (Button presses and scrolling) so the blue-tooth connection is established, its just that the Mac Mini isn't seeing or at least interpreting the mouse movement.

Thanks though for the suggestion and hopefully with that information added, someone might be able to spot what's going on?

Has anyone else got the same hardware & OS version which is working ok?? My gut feeling is that something in the latest update has changed/broken the support for the original Magic Mouse with my M1 Mac Mini. I think there were blue-tooth issues when Big Sur + M1 first came out but I didn't experience anything until now.

I am having the same issue after my Mac updated to the latest version of Big Sur (11.5.2)! The mouse gets "hung" in the middle of the screen as I move it. Then it enlarges to a black mouse pointer and just sticks on the screen. It is SUPER annoying. I have rebooted. I have turned off and on the mouse and reconnected several times. I also have an older mouse, with no lightening connection available. Apple really needs to fix this. I work from home and it is really impacting my ability to work! This never happened before the update to the new version of the OS.

Additionally, I've been working in the same location on my desk with the same mouse and same Mac since 2013 with no bluetooth connection issues. The article recommended by Apple is no help.

Same here with a MacBook Air. 11.5 broke the functionality of my Magic Mouse. Points and left clicks but no more scrolling or right clicking. Any luck with yours??

you can see if the steps in this article helps: If your Apple wireless mouse, keyboard, or trackpad isn't working with your Mac as expected

I have the same issue, with my MacBook Pro laptops (personal laptop and work laptop). I found that the mouse works well after boot up, but after an hour or so, I encounter issues with my mouse while using a standard mousepad (with the same results that you describe). If I remove the mousepad, I can move the mouse and have the cursor move somewhat sluggishly, but that isn't the desired result.

My setup includes the new Magic Mouse (purchased a few months ago), and new MacBook Pro laptops purchased this year as well. I have all updates applied for my personal MacBook Pro, and my work MacBook Pro is running Big Sur 11.5 (the latest version allowed by my IT department.

Since the latest up date my magic bluetooth keyboard is not picking up the bluetooth from my

MacBook Pro 13-inch M1 2020 MacOS Monterey but it's picking up my magic mouse and is also picking up my Samsung TV and other devices help

Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.

NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following; 

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts 

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files

Same here. After updating to Monterey the Magic Mouse will stop scrolling after the MacBook goes to "sleep". I unpair and then pair and it usually works. I've also had to log out and pair new mouse or restart. A software bug for sure. I hope they upload a fix soon as it is very annoying.

You need to unpair/remove the mouse/trackpad or anything that is now working that used to work with you device. Then pair it again just like the first time. It fixes my connection with my macbook air M1 to my magic mouse 2.

I have a first generation mouse too and today it will only scroll in one direction (down) vertically but not back the other direction...I tried everything to fix it as well and nothing..I upgraded to Monterey awhile ago..I have a 2020 MacBook Air (intel chip)

I tried another cleaning method...and it worked...my scrolling works in both directions again!! Here is the link to what I did to fix my first generation mouse that was only scrolling one direction..after trying every other method.

I have the same symptoms.

MacBook Air M1 had since January 2021, separate Apple magic keyboard and magic mouse2 worked fine with Big Sur but since the Monterey update the cursor moves chaotically across my screen like a drunken sailor on shore leave. If I pair and use it on my MacBook Pro 2017 with Mojave 10.14.6 it works perfectly.

Strange tho' I think we have different macOS but the same symptoms developed around the same time.

It'll be down to the Russian hackers!

Me too.

Have just accessed the Mac after a break of about 3 weeks. Update 11.6 seems to have resolved mouse issue - thank you Apple.

Bluetooth connected Apple mouse would not scroll after uploading Monterey. Turned off mouse waited 10 seconds then turned back on. Mouse connected and works as it should now.
