bluetoothmac-minimagic-trackpadmouse
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?
Your trackpad preference page is an earlier version than 10.8. I think 10.7 or before, so this is likely a software issue** The 10.8 page has changed a lot compared to your screenshot.
In the lower left it should say trackpad battery level and have battery icon with percentage. Having had some bluetooth problems in the past it should give you a battery level even if it is zero, unless the device is not completely paired, possible hardware issue.
With 10.8 under the Bluetooth preference page it will give you a list of all Bluetooth devices that have been paired with your machine, at the bottom below the devices should be a + - and a sprocket with a drop down menu that includes connect, rename, add to favorites, update name, update services, and show more info. The - will delete the selected device, I would suggest you delete the ghost mouse and maybe even the trackpad and try to pair the trackpad again. Also on the bluetooth page I have discoverable not selected.
If you are running 10.8 and you have Apple Care I would contact Apple as your screen shot is showing an earlier version than 10.8 as far as I can tell.
Hold down cmd# while scroling then the magic mouse zooms.

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:
