my mac mini (OSZX 10.6.8) will not stay asleep with this mouse - is there anything I can do to fix this

I suppose a computer Ambien might help but seriously I can not explain the Mimi's response. Maybe Macally has an answer. Sorry.

I have a Mac Mini and yes, It does work with it. I bought this about 3 months ago and it was working perfectly, but now the mouse will work for about 5 minutes then I have to turn it off and back on again. It does it non stop, it wasn't just a one time problem. I even tried it on my laptop and Desktop and it did the same thing. And yes, I put new batteries in as well. Other than the mouse going out after a few months, it worked fine.

Using the BM306 on a MacBook Pro with OSX, I did not realize for a good while that moving the mouse does not wake it up and reconnects. Only pushing a button does. The button click is registered by the OS though. May be that is what you are experiencing in Windows as well.

Not really. It goes into sleep mode when not being used. The only issue I had is there does not seem to be a way to set the time delay before going to sleep. It it a good mouse at a low price.

Paired it with Mac Mini, some times disconnects if idle for a long time (15+ min) but switching it off and back on again fixes the issue

10.9.1 is what I have on my Mac mini. It was pretty much plug and play. It did have, a few questions and promos when I plugged in to the USB port. I was told by others this was a plug and play keyboard . After all the Macally folks are pretty much MAC friendly when it comes to hook up. Try reboot after plugged in. Can you upgrade your OS? I agree that the website is not to helpfully. With that said I really like the feel of this new keyboard.

Try this solution. I had the same problem, followed the advise and so far so good. Hope it works for you as well.http://verbalprocessor.com/2011/04/06/bluetooth-mouse-losing-connectionfixed/

Same here. I think I just extended the sleep mode until 30 minutes (did it yesterday) and it appears to have corrected it.

This happened to me. There is a small reset hole on the mouse. Put the end of a paperclip in it and hold for about 20-30 sec to do a reset. It should fix the problem

Works just fine with my MacBook Pro and Mavericks. The only thing that got me for a while is that moving the mouse does not wake it from sleep. But hitting any button (including the clear button at top next to the scroll wheel) does wake it and reconnects (quickly). The button click gets registered at the OS though.

I'd like to help very much but I'm not as computer savvy as you would hope!! However I do know this mouse is a crappy thing, it has a mind of it's own & will work if it wants to & won't!! Try another mouse to see if you get the same problem, the mouse I have also had the lights on but yet nobody was home!! Try another mouse from a friend if you don't have one & the best I can tell you is to buy another mouse that's value is $15. or more 7 it doesn't come from any part of Asia!!! Good luck & sorry you have the same bad luck I did!!!

I really am a novice at it. I have gotten it to sleep for maybe 3-4 seconds (after replacing the string- beforehand it was at most 1 or 2). I have no idea what I "should" be able to do, though.

Hi, the trick to having the Mouse stay connected is to have it unselected in the Device Manager for Bluetooth radio. The default setting will turn the BT mouse off to save Energy. Hope all can see this. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

There is an on/off switch underneath the mouse next to the 'light'; a bit hard to manipulate though; need strong fingernails; just as well to let it go to sleep mode unless you're transporting it somewhere - then either turn off or remove battery for trip. Hope this helps.

I own this mouse and can't seem to get the 4th mouse button to work. The MS website does not list a Mac compatible driver:http://tinyurl.com/8mpsoom

For me batteries last about 2 weeks (sucks them dry very quickly). This is the type of mouse you really need to turn off after using it, something I always forget to do. I don't think it has a sleep mode, the bluetrack light is always on, even after hours of being idle, this probably contributes to the short battery life. If it wasn't for the battery life, this mouse would be very good. For now, i'm stuck changing the batteries out constantly, give the logitech touch mouse a look!
