Mouse doesn't work

Mouse was working okay a while ago but I disconnected it to use it on another computer. It did connect to the other computer after a 5-minute wait, but now won't connect to my original computer, a Mac-mini.


I had the same problem a week ago and brought it to our local store where a "genius" fiddled with it and finally zapped the P-ram. That worked until now.


Fortunately I have a $20 mouse meant for a PC, so I can still use my computer but it's very frustrating to pay for something that simply does not work.

Thanks for your help. Yes I had seen this info before. It advised making sure the mouse was charged up. Turned out that was the problem-- my apologies for wasting your time!

Here is a link to an Apple support article about mouse, keyboard and trackpad issues.

Maybe you'll find something helpful here?

My apologies if you're already familiar with this info.

Oh, no problem at all. It’s good to know that it was not something more serious. =)
