Since upgrading to Yosemite my Apple Bluetooth Mouse disconnects continuously

To my knowledge, there is nothing associated with OS X 10.10 to cause yoru issue.

Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.

I've had bluetooth issues since the software on my Macbook pro was upgraded to Yosemite. I have to turn off the bluetooth, then turn off the blue tooth on the device I want to use. Then shut off the laptop, power it on and reset the PRAM a few times. Once everything comes back up, I then have to power on all the bluetooth options and cross my fingers it connects. Usually on the first try it doesn't and I go through the same process as above ...again. (I just did this and I do this everyday and trust me, it ****** me off).

I have the same issue. To get my Microsoft Surface mouse working I have to, Delete it in Bluetooth settings, then Pair it. If I turn off the mouse it refuses to work / detect. I have to delete it again then pair it.

All this started after 10.10.2

in 10.10.1... I only had to pair it once. After that initial pair, I could turn the mouse off and then back on and the Mac would detect it.

I have exactly the same problem as ProteusStaff, the mouse (microsoft arc touch BT) is disconnected continuously and the solution I find to reconnect and follow the procedure:

Delete it in Bluetooth settings, then Pair it. detect. click on link.

All this started after I upgrade Yosemite in 10.10.2, I didn't have the same problem with Yosemite 10.10.1

I found an answer that helped me this morning:

On another website

i know it may sound weird. I tried clearing PRAM and did all other things...But my mouse will not connect to the mac. Then one day i found out it will solve my problem of magic mouse not connecting to mac.:

• disable blutooth
• go to finder
• click on AirDrop on left
• click on Turn on Blutooth( not from main navigation menu, but this option is visible in finder when you clicked on AirDrop with blutooth off)
• click on allow me to be discovered by everyone on the bottom
• try to pair

This helped me this morning... I have two magic mouses, and they both disconnected and would't reconnect again .. It could be something with the new airdrop-BT-connection-possibilities.

I have the same problem. I have both Microsoft arc touch mouse surface edition (platinum) and arc touch mouse bluetooth MacBook Pro Retina Mid-2014. They both have the same issue, before updating to Yosemite, work fine, probably the best mouse I ever had. After Yosemite upgrade, after I pair the mouse with MacBook Pro, it work fine for a while. If I turn off the mouse, turn off the bluetooth, or leave it alone for a while so bluetooth disconnect, both mouse stop working.

Funning thing is I also have a MacBook Pro Retina 2012. The mouse pair fine and work after I turn off and turned back on either on the mouse or the bluetooth. I went to Apple store and tried out the pairing process on their MacBook Pro, also Mid-2014, it does not work like mine Mid-2014 MacBook Pro.

I am extremely frustrated. I've tried turn mouse on and off, MacBook Pro on and off, reset PRAM, remove the bluetooth plist, use the AirDrop pairing, nothing works. I am begin to doubt about Apple's ability to get things right.

Report your problems with yosemite as a bug to apple

Apple may have been doing scream tests - no-one screams so the software is perfect. Yosemite people - start screaming or the next version will not be "as good"

I can't say I have a definitive fix, but I can tell you what worked for me. I have a MacMini (bluetooth mouse, keyboard, and trackpad) that started experiencing mouse disconnections. The batteries were <20%, so I figured I would replace them along with the keyboard batteries that were very low. After I did this, the mouse worked fine, but the keyboard was flaky - literally disconnecting at least once per 100 characters. As I am not usually looking at the screen when I type, this was a lot worse for me than the mouse! Since it's non-trivial to turn off and on bluetooth when everything is bluetooth, I tried turning the keyboard on and off. This did nothing. On a lark, I removed the batteries and reinserted them. Shazzam! Everything now works! I have no idea what changed, but guessing there is something more the bluetooth device does when its powering up than when its just turned on.

Keeping my fingers crossed...

Hey Aart,

Thanks!! this is the only thing that actually worked for me! 🙂

i've recently encountered this same problem (mid-10 mbp, running 10.10.3). got to a point where it was happening quite regularly and within a minute of re-enabling bluetooth and/or power cycling the mouse. nothing seemed to work.

tried the suggestion of pulling the batteries and that seems to be working. i've gone a few hrs now without any issues. hopefully this will do the trick!

Bless you! Amazing! I was having all the issues as above and this helped me to connect my Micro$oft Arc Mouse to a MacBook Pro Retina mid-2012.
