How to reconnect an apple wireless mouse after the batteries die. If your mouse gives you that awful "connection lost" message, and you replace the batteries, you would think it would just reconnect. Nope - you need to push and hold the mouse button to reconnect.
Connecting your apple magic mouse via bluetooth is great - as long as you know how to reconnect. This is a simple solution, but not one that I thought of immediately. I would shake the mouse, click the button and usually end up connecting a wired mouse and telling the computer to search for the apple bluetooth mouse. But then I discovered this simple fix: just click and hold the mouse button for about one second. Fixed! Apple mouse reconnected.
So if your apple wireless mouse is not connecting - try this simple tip to pair your mouse with your computer.
Just be sure to insert the batteries correctly!
