Hi, I am having trouble getting my Magic Mouse to work through bluetooth to my MacBook Air I have done everything correctly. The computer says it's connected but the curser doesn't respond!

I enabled Bluetooth in settings, Charged and turned on my Magic Mouse. In settings it searched and found my mouse. I connected, it shows the Magic Mouse is connected! but the Magic Mouse doesn't move the cursor! Bluetooth is busy looking for other devices!

The mouse worked fine on my old MacBook Air and initially on my new MacBook Air M2 It's baffled me! The Magic Mouse is relatively new (Can't change battery)

MacBook Air, macOS 13.0

The exact same Apple Magic Mouse must be UnPaired ( Forgotten ) from " my old MacBook Air "


This will allow it to be Paired to " new MacBook Air M2 "


The mouse can only be paired to one device at a time

Good point, PRP_53.

And as we are about it, this is a pet peeve of mine: why use a mouse with a mac laptop? The trackpad is so awesome. In a crappy pc with an even crappier trackpad, I can see it, but in a MacBook not so much...

I suggest trying to use the mac without the mouse for an hour or two. Do you still want it back?

Agreed 👍


Though, one size does not fit all like OP
