Apple Magic Mouse is discoverable, but not pairing Just got Apple Magic Mouse from eBay. I cannot figure how to pair it with my Mac Mini: it's discovering fine, but when I click on Pair button, my Mac is thinking for a little while and says: "Couldn't connect to the device".

When I'm trying to pair the mouse with Windows 7, I get a different error: Authentication failed. The code I entered is default 0000.

The mouse was described as New (other), but it seems not. It already has a name: Cora's mouse.

Is there any way how can I get it working?
My issue was that my Magic Mouse was discoverable through the Bluetooth Preferences pane, but when I clicked 'Pair', it couldn't connect. After an hour, I found a solution that worked:


Turn off the Magic Mouse
Open the Bluetooth Preferences
Delete your mouse's profile
Be sure the Bluetooth Prefs pane is searching (indicated by the spinner)
Hold the mouse button down, then flip the switch to turn it on (it should blink green during this time
While still holding down the mouse button, click 'Pair' in the Bluetooth Prefs pane
