USB and Bluetooth mice stopped connecting to Mac Wondering if anyone has troubleshooting ideas... I have an old cheese grater Mac that has never had a problem. Yesterday with no symptoms of any problems, my USB and my Bluetooth mouse won't connect. I have tried both mice on another Mac and they work fine. Bluetooth mouse is charged. USB ports work fine with other devices. I have used keyboard shortcuts to get to the mouse preferences and it just says there is no mouse connected.

This is a *Solution* to a problem I had with the Kensington Trackball Wireless Mouse I have had almost continuous problems getting Bluetooth on an iMac M1-M3 to recognize my Kensington Trackball Wireless Mouse after initial boot of my iMac. Only after a 5-second long "wiggling" of the Cursor did the Cursor "unfreeze" from the top-left corner of the screen. After this, everything worked great .. but only after this initial "wiggling". The solution .. when I initially paired this Trackball Mouse a long time ago, I disconnected the Apple installed wireless mouse that came with the iMac ... but I left it active even though it was disconnected. When I selected "Forget this Device" for the Apple Mouse, the necessity for the above "wiggling" and the inherent 5-second delay **disappeared** .. now, after a fresh boot of my iMac the Kensington TrackBall Cursor is immediately moveable.
