My iPad Pro used to connect to my Magic Mouse 2. Then I recharged the Mouse’s battery by linking it to my Mac. I have disconnected the Mouse from the Mac, but still the iPad won’t recognize it, even when it’s connected by a cable. Do they need counselling, or what?

Hello hc111 and thank you for your attention. Fumbler that I am, I did one obvious thing: switch the iPad off and then on again. It immediately welcomed Magic Mouse like an old friend. Something to learn there about relationships?
I'll store your info for later, just in case..
Thanks again!
I had slightly similar problems with my new IPad Pro 13 inch.
I could see my Magic Mouse had been found by the device but no matter what I did, or read, helped to have it activated.
The trick was to accidentally drag the found ‘Other Devices’ Magic Mouse entry into the ‘My Devices’ panel above it.
Hope this helps someone.

Hey there stewart barnes,
Thanks for reaching out.
We'd like to see if you can try connecting to your iPad again by following the steps below next:
Pair Magic Mouse or other Bluetooth mouse
1. For Magic Mouse, make sure the mouse is turned on and charged.
For any other Bluetooth mouse, follow the instructions that came with the mouse to put it in discovery mode.
2. On iPad, go to Settings> Bluetooth, then turn on Bluetooth.
3. Select the device when it appears in the Other Devices list.
If you’re asked for a PIN when you pair Magic Mouse, type “0000” (four zeros), then tap Pair.
Note: If the mouse is already paired with your Mac or another iPad, you must unpair them before you can connect the mouse to your iPad. Do one of the following:
* On iPhone or iPad: See Unpair a Bluetooth device.
* On macOS 13 or later: Choose Apple menu> System Settings, click Bluetooth in the sidebar, Control-click the device, then choose Forget.
* On macOS 12.5 or earlier: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Bluetooth, Control-click the device, then click Remove.
Reconnect a Bluetooth mouse to iPad
The mouse disconnects when you turn the switch on the mouse to Off or when you move the mouse or iPad out of Bluetooth range—about 33 feet (10 meters).
To reconnect, turn the mouse switch to On, or bring the mouse and iPad back into range, then click the mouse.

Take care!
Why is my iPad Pro not recognizing my Magic Mouse 2 after recharging it on my Mac?
