EG, Batteries may be weak OR they have simply moved and lost contact. Even Spotlight will work (see below) Now to address the BIG QUESTIONS: Why does your Mouse lose the connection in the first place from time to time? Ah, this is a bit mysterious, and many reasons are possible causes.
This tip will work with other “keyboard shortcut apps” such as Google Quick Search Box, Launcher, Quicksilver of course too try it out and see. The “trick” of course is you use your Keyboard only which you can do it in just a few keystrokes. This is a big time saver over searching for your old wired mouse, connecting it to a USB port, and using that to fix your wireless mouse problem, then disconnecting and putting it away. After doing that about 50 times and being sick of it, I dreamed up this TIP, wondered whether it would work, and lo and behold it did. Voila it connects it and y our Magic Mouse is back in action. Hopefully it will and should say something like “found Magic Mouse”. If it does, you should see “CONTINUE” then Hit Return. The Mouse preference pane will automatically try to find any mouse you’ve associated before and try to connect to it. Bingo The MOUSE Preference Pane should open. One ‘mouse.prefPane’ is selected just hit Return. Make sure you see it (System Prefs/Mouse) as what is selected If you need to, use your arrow keys up/down. Here’s a STEP-BY-STEP: JED’S KEYBOARD SHORTCUT MOUSE TRICK: 1) Activate ALFRED (my settings: ‘Option double tap’ ) (Great ! Now we want to get to the Mouse Pane in System Preferences…) 2) Type “mouse” as your search term. I’ve also fixed this if it happens too often by putting a small folded piece of paper under the metal door.

From there I would “re-connect” my wireless mouse using the Mouse Pane. Then one day I had this BRILLIANT IDEA to speed things up - HOW TO FIX THE MOUSE ERROR “Connection Lost” FAST – Simple just use your Keyboard with some Shortcut Commands (i ts good to have the wonderful little utility app Alfred installed already* – you can download directly from their site here) If you get the “lost connecton” message, first address whatever the problem that may have caused the mouse connection to get lost in the first place - such as WEAK BATTERIES (yup that’s one cause) OR possibly just some bad electrical contact (which can usually be fixed by simply taking the batteries out and putting them back in) Sometime I’ve found even just giving the mouse a gente little shake fixes a bad contact issue. What the What do you do? For months if this happened, my go to solution was to get my old wired mouse from a drawer, connect it, and use that to re-gain control of my cursor, by going to System Preferences. Great, you have a dead paperweight instead of your mouse. Uh oh! On your screen pops up the dreaded error message….”Lost Connection”. How many times has this happened to you while using your (original, version 1) Apple Magic Mouse? All of a sudden it just freezes up. How to fix Lost Connection of Magic Mouse TIPS THAT WILL HELP
