None of the above works! I’ve tried everything. I have had problems since about 6 months back, when I bought a new USB-rechargable Bluetooth mouse Apple original called Magic Mouse. As well as the keyboard reconnects and disconnects for like 15 seconds, works for 15 seconds and then disconnects automatically for 15 seconds. Tried resetting the n-ram, turned off bluetooth and on again, remove plist files yada yada. Fully charged, brand new fresh and “post” brand batteries etc… Now here comes the catch, and weirdness: Moved the lot, Macbook Proc, plus keyboard plus mouse into another room, way beyond 10 meters from the first room. And then started it up there, and had the same distance between bluetooth keyboard and mouse and connected to a large screen monitor, to view the bluetooth panel when it’s opened for the disconnected and connected messages. Went on for like 5-6 hours without a hatch. Mind you, it’s even if I am not moving the keyboard or mouse. It didn’t disconnect even once, started up other things in the vincinity, etc etc. No problem, used the keyboard and mouse a lot, nothing close to disconnect happened. So conclusion: Not the MacBook Pro, not the magic mouse nor the keyboard. Not the Os (catalina by the way). Now, moved it back to original living room, and saw that Bluetooth automatically detects everything in the vincinity which includes NEIGHBORS television sets, xboxes, remote controls, and computers. Now when the bluetooth on my mac detects that something else comes knocking at my door and wants to be let in, IT DISCONNECTS and closes down the keyboard and mouse, that formerly worked so well.
None of this worked for me. I have gone through every test and sequence of steps to solve this issue and nothing has worked. I have tried unplugging all USB devices. There is no wifi signal or router near me. I have explored the debug menu. I have tried removing it as a device and starting over. The damn thing just connects when it wants to. There is absolutely no rhyme or reason to it. And with no car and no near Apple Store I don’t really have the option of taking it in to get looked at. Apple could have avoided this issue by placing the lightning port on the front of the device so it could be used while plugged in – you know, like the keyboard that accompanies it.
For me – the following steps worked – Connect the Lightning cable Connect your wireless accessory to your Mac with the Lightning to USB cable or USB-C to Lightning cable, wait one minute, then disconnect the cable. This pairs the accessory with your Mac and charges the built-in battery. To check your accessory’s charge level, click the Control Centre icon in the menu bar, then click Bluetooth.
Thanks! The first debug option solved my problem. Was driving me nuts. I heard it was a battery compartment issue on another article and that worked for one of my mice (that was having this problem) but another one was constantly disconnecting/reconnecting (even after using that battery compartment “fix”) and this solution worked (so far) for that mouse.
What’s hilarious about this is how Apple users just put up with boatloads of crap like this because…”we’re cool Apple people”. When what it really shows is just how finnicky, tedious and fragile Macs are. I own a Mac 27″ and it’s like owning a jittery, shaking, nervous little dog. It does crap like this mouse thing and no one is supposed to say anything because…it’s Apple, by god. My Windows PC has literally NEVER, and that means NEVER had anything happen remotely like this. It works all the time and it also lets me decide where to save files.
i hate my magic mouse. i’ve been plunking batteries into plastic junk since i was probably 1 year old with no problem whatsoever. it’s a HARDWARE issue where i’m forced to wad up bits of aluminum foil so the contacts will work, giving their “magic mouse” the aspect of a cheap 1970’s rabbit-ears television. leave it to Apple to mess up something so rudimentary. and now they have plans to re-engineer society. Magic.
