apple magicmouse was working until updates

[chrismurphy]

Notifications are on, but I do not get a popup asking me to add anything. I do get a pop-up at the very bottom of the screen which simply informs "Bluetooth Pairing Request for 'chris's mouse'" for about 5 seconds then goes away on its own.

Ahhhh...OK I think we have a HIG failure here. The pop up is actually much bigger, but is not revealed by default. You have to move down to it, before it vanishes, to get it to reveal. Once it fully reveals there is a way to type in 0000 and the pairing works.

Further fail is that in the Bluetooth Setup New Device, there is a "PIN Options" which defaults to auto but can be changed to 0000. Even that fails to pair properly. One has to snag the notification and manually enter in 0000.

But now it works, although it's way way way too fast and sensitive despite the Pointer Speed settings both all the way to the left (Slow and Low). Very difficult to use. Hmmmm.....

Connection defaults to Off on reboot....not good!

Yeah about the speed, it just takes some getting used too. My mouse has to be woken up on every boot, it shuts down to save power. You lift it up and click the button, that works best for me.

I don't remember having an issue with Bluetooth not starting on every boot. You should check this link,

I do forget the things I've fixed in fedora over time. Preupgrade tool has spoiled me....

that sounds like some kind of quirk with the Apple mouse, to me. I set up a bog standard Bluetooth mouse on my laptop yesterday and it just worked perfectly: pairs without any PIN nonsense, and it works on every boot and on resume from suspend and so on with no manual intervention needed (just have to move it around a bit and wait for it to wake up).

Yeah, pairing does let it down. One you know you have to type '0000' its not much of an issue. I picked the apple mouse for the touch interface, my parrots pulled the middle mouse button apart on my last mouse. They can't do any damage to this one, fingers crossed.
