After waking up from Hibernation: Wireless mouse and k'board dont work!!

Hi All
My second issue with my iMac, otherwise been a good experience. This is the annoying one. Sometime, or i should say most of the time, when the iMac wakes up from Windows XP hibernation, the mouse and the k'board (both bluetooth wireless) decide not wake up!! sometimes they do (and i suspect it is the time i quickly double click the left button on the mouse before the windows screen comes up) and sometimes they wake up after 5 minutes!! most of the time i dont have the patience and I just reboot which is very annoying! anoyone knows why?
I saw a set up in the bluetooth devices where I can tick/untick a selection asking me if i want to to turn off the blutooth to save power (this is under control panel/system/hardware/bluetooth/properties) do i need to untic this?
Many thanks

Seems like im truly the only one with the problem but i did find a workaround. When coming out of hibernation/standby (ie after u press the power button) u start double clicking the left mouse button like a possesed man!! just keep double clicking till you hear the (ding ding, ding ding), click a couple more times and that should wake up the mouse and k'board.
If u notice, when windows starts (from normal start up), mouse doesnt wake up till u double click the left button. Same issue here, seems blue tooth has a short window when coming out of hib/s.by and if u miss it then all freezes.
Well hope this helps some other people who got this issue.

  • Hello, I have a macbook pro late 2011 15 inch with 4 gb ram. My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Is there a fix?

    My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Furthermore, when just using safari to watch streaming television, my computer gets really slow, and locks up, and the dock appears blank and I sit here frustrated. Anytime i wake up my computer, my keys don't respond and I've waited at most 3 minutes untill i can type in my password. Even sometimes when i type in my password and hit enter, it takes forever to open up my mac. I have barely used any storage in my macbook, since i only use it for college, and I have run clamscan wiht no viruses showing... Any ideas?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Wireless Mouse and Keyboard don't work under bootcamp. Any suggestions?

    I installed Windows 7 through Boot Camp. Everything works, but my wireless mouse and keyboard. If I add a wired mouse and keyboard, they work. Have reinstalled Bootcamp a few times, but when I try and add the devices. they are seen, but then can't pair.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Well, the 'unplugged' reference was noted earlier and I wasn't sure if you'd get a
    better response than a standard suggestion to try the other ideas in this link first
    •Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
    before actually performing the SMC, that is a dragnet kind of catch-all, sometimes.
    All of my keyboard & mouse units are USB and I've gone as far as supplying the
    mouse and other peripherals with a powered USB hub; so power from the Mac
    isn't spread too thin. The keyboard is one of the only items that should be attached
    to the USB port; as it has to work on startup pre-boot keyboard shortcuts... Such
    as SafeBoot, PRAM reset, and others where you need a live keyboard and BT
    may not be up to the task of being ready. Three going on four of my Macs have
    bluetooth capabilities for those items; but I can't justify the continual upkeep cost.
    Spare USB keyboards and a few extra mouse are handy as troubleshooting tools, too.
    There are some USB keyboard references among search results in this linked page:

    Perhaps the SMC pre-reset suggestions may help resolve the issue, if not, try reset.

  • Restore message appears after waking iPod from Hibernation

    For the past week, every time I wake my fifth generation iPod from hibernation, I get a message telling me to connect my iPod to a computer to restore it. This message will disappear after a minute or so and the screen will go dark. If I press a button after this happens, the iPod will go thru the reset process (apple logo appears and it reboots itself). After this it is fine until I leave it long enough for it to go into hibernation again, in which case the whole process starts over. I've been afraid to connect it to my computer for fear I'm going to lose all my music. Has this happened to anybody? Any suggestions?

  • Rubbish wireless mouse and key board!

    Can anyone help me by telling me why my wireless keyboard and mighty mouse keep disconnecting from the laptop?
    the keyboard has got to the point where it just goes off and doesnt reconnect! and the mouse is slow and jittery making it hard to control. I really love the idea of using the apple products because they need no additional dongles or adapters but if this carries on then im gonna have no choice but to swap it for a more usable microsoft variation!

    Hi PureEvil,
    The “Dongle” is a Bluetooth adapter that actually works :0)
    On the Apple store it is called a D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth adapter.
    Quote…
    “The D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth Adapter enables short-range wireless data connectivity between computers and Bluetooth enabled devices. Personal digital assistants, cellular phones, and other devices can connect wirelessly with your Mac. In a nutshell, Bluetooth unplugs your digital peripherals and makes cable clutter a thing of the past.
    Bluetooth is an open specification for wireless data transmission that operates on the globally available 2.4GHz radio frequency. Bluetooth devices can communicate with each other within a 30-foot range.”
    Unfortunately Apple’s Bluetooth works in about a 3 foot range – if you are lucky! I bought the USB bluetooth adapter and the keyboard and mighty mouse both work amazingly well now, even from across the room.
    I’m very disappointed that I had to fork out another £35.00 to get it to work, especially as I waited for the BT to become available in my build to order, but it works. I’m sure Apple will sort it eventually (?)

    It is not possible to use a USB mouse or keyboard on the HP Pavilion g7 2203sd notebook running Windows 8.1.

    I have tried removing USB devices in the Windows Device Manager and let Windows detect them again, but it does not work.
    I read somewhere that it might have to do with the xHCI USB controller that is installed.

    I also looked for driver updates or something to disbale in the BIOS (like xHCI), but nothing found for that.

  • Wireless mouse and Keyboard Issue after closing the lid - external display

    Can anyone give any insight. Recent purchase of a new Late 2008 15" MBP. I have connected it to an external 24" Apple monitor on my desk and use a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard on my desk top. I have configured the laptop to wake on bluetooth devices. So here is the problem: The laptop when the lid is up recognizes the bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I close the lid/screen. Laptop powers down... the after several seconds I move the mouse and the laptop comes alive... But after that there are no bluetooth devices attached. When I use the mouse, I get "connection lost" with a white figure of the mighty mouse on the screen. The wireless keyboard is not there and I have to open the lid and manually find the mouse and reconnect. The keyboard seems to work however....
    Apple..... any thoughts..... anyone?????

    Hi Stentdoc; I'm thinking, 'connection lost ~= sorta low AA batteries in the Mighty Mouse? (I would put in fresh AA batteries in the mouse and keyboard, to eliminate as an issue that the 'connection lost' is due to low batt voltage; that this is causing the failure to wake.) ... then, in System Preferences > Hardware > Energy Saver, settings for Power Adapter > Sleep, set to "never" for "Put the computer to sleep when it is inactive for ..." to eliminate that as a conflict when trying to wake with bluetooth from sleep induced by closing the lid ...
    Check your current "Sleep" setup (I left my MBP as "3")
    go to Utilities > Terminal
    After you launch Terminal, the first step is to determine which sleep mode your Mac is currently using. You can both view and change the sleep mode using the Unix program pmset. To see your current settings, type (or, copy and paste)
    pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
    press 'enter'
    You should see something like this:
    $ pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
    hibernatemode 3
    So your machine is using mode 3 ... thanks to the documentation for the handy Deep Sleep Dashboard widget, which puts your machine immediately into hibernation mode (so you don’t have to yank all the power sources to invoke it):
    * 0 - Old style sleep mode, with RAM powered on while sleeping, safe sleep disabled, and super-fast wake.
    * 1 - Hibernation mode, with RAM contents written to disk, system totally shut down while “sleeping,” and slower wake up, due to reading the contents of RAM off the hard drive.
    * 3 - The default mode on machines introduced since about fall 2005. RAM is powered on while sleeping, but RAM contents are also written to disk before sleeping. In the event of total power loss, the system enters hibernation mode automatically.
    also, I enabled this (to change back, input "lidwake 1":
    go to Utilities > Terminal
    type in sudo pmset lidwake 0 then "enter"
    it will ask for your password. type it in, that's it!
    Now, when your computer is sleeping with the lid closed, when you open the lid nothing happens until you press any key ... nice: keeps it off when accidentally opened, like in a backpack?
    WARNING: Improper use of the sudo command could lead to data loss
    or the deletion of important system files. Please double-check your
    typing when using sudo. Type "man sudo" for more information.
    To proceed, enter your password, or type Ctrl-C to abort.

  • My MacBook keyboard and track pad stopped functioning after pairing an Apple wireless mouse and keyboard. Any suggestions?

    My MacBook keyboard and track pad stopped functioning after pairing an Apple wireless mouse and keyboard. Any suggestions?

    I deleted the mouse by selecting it in the bluetooth options and clicking the minus tab. I went ahead and reinstalled OS X right afterwards. Right now I am having to use a USB mouse and keyboard. I disconnected both prior to start up. I get a widow that shows a demonstration on how to install batteries into a wireless mouse only way to pass that screen was to reattach the USB mouse. Then with a fresh startup no resolve.

  • I was working with vijay in support but i lost him. anyway my problem is with tools in ps 2014. when i click on the delta, it doesn't reveal the tools underneath. im using a mac btw, and switched from a wireless mouse to a wired. doesnt help?

    I can't get the tools under the tool icon to reveal. I plugged in a wireless mouse and doesn't help. It works for support on a shared screen but not for me. What do i do now?

    I have a macbook running Mavericks and CC 2014
    You do not single-click on the tool's triangle. You hold down the trackpad or mouse button on the tool itself (in the Toolbox) until the tools menu flies out.
    Also Shift + tool shortcut will change tools for you. Shift + M for the different Marquee tools.

  • Why do I sometimes suddenly lose Bluetooth from my Imac? I use it for my wireless mouse and keyboard. I then can't find it in system preferences but have to shutdown my Mac and hope it comes back

    This is an infuriating problem and wondered if it happens to other people too and if I am doing the right thing by turning the Mac off then on again.

  • Ethernet interface disappears after waking up from sleep

    Hi guys,
    I've been trying to debug a networking problem without any luck and I think it's about time I ask the forum for help.
    My ethernet interface no longer works after I wake up my computer from sleep. I have no idea why.
    Before sleep:
    # ls /sys/class/net
    lo wlp2s0 enp3s0f2
    After waking up from sleep,
    ls /sys/class/net
    lo wlp2s0
    Here are the list of services I have running.

    Furthermore, plugging in the ethernet cord after the computer has started doesn't connect to the internet, even when I have the ifplugd service running. I am forced to run:
    sudo ip link set enp3s0f2 up
    sudo dhcpcd enp3s0f2
    However, I can't run these commands after the laptop wakes up from sleep since it no longer sees the ethernet interface.
    I am thoroughly confused. Please help me.

    It seems to be fixed after the kernel update. On an related note, I've switched from using dhcpcd to netctl. I've enabled netctl to automatically connect to the network using:
    # systemctl enable [email protected]
    # systemctl enable [email protected]
    So when I check for the status of the ethernet profile, I get told that's it's inactive.
    #netctl status ethernet-dhcp
    netctl@ethernet\x2ddhcp.service - Networking for netctl profile ethernet-dhcp
    Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/[email protected]; static)
    Active: inactive (dead)
    Docs: man:netctl.profile(5)
    But I turned off the wireless, so I must be connected to the ethernet, So how do I know which profile I'm connected to?

  • New wireless mouse and keyboard issues

    I have a new 20", 2.4GHz alu iMac, and I ordered it with the new bluetooth keyboard, and bluetooth mighty mouse. They've always worked great, but yesterday, the mouse has had intermittant lag, and it says that the keyboard has lost connection. I've been running Leopard since it came out, and I've never had such problems with Tiger. I reinstalled Leopard a few hours ago (erase and install), and I'm still getting the lag. I wanted to see whether it is my mouse, so I tried pairing it with my brother's white intel iMac, and it couldn't pair, but it made my brother's bluetooth mighty mouse lag too! Could this be due to interference? Our rooms are right beside each other.
    Also, when the lag occurs, I get the message that its lost connection with the keyboard, however it still works perfectly. The lag is very noticeable, and it takes about 3-4 times longer for the mouse to move, while being very choppy. This is for about 10-15 seconds, and then it goes normal speed again.
    Is anyone else having this challenge? Could anyone diagnose whether it's likely to be the computer, the mouse, or interference, (or other!)?
    Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

    I have a 6 week old imac 24" alu intel with wireless keyboard & mouse and it was all working fine until the 10.5.1 upgrade. it also started on the same day there was a big rain storm so I thought that might be messing with my blue tooth connections. i have no other bluetooth devices other than the mouse and keyboard. at first it was intolerable. i'd get the keyboard connection lost message every few minutes, the keyboard would continue to function and the mouse would go very sluggish for a minute or 2. this was happening every 5 minutes or so. i deleted each one an reconnected, shut everything off, restarted the computer and it seemed ok for about 1 hour and then it happened again a few times. definitely not as often as before but it still happens from time to time every few hours. power on both is about 75% and seeing as they have new duracel batteries i'm sure they are not dead.
    I did the auto update to 10.5.1 and had all the permission issues so then downloaded and installed the larger 100+ meg update. not sure if this has caused any problems.
    So far leopard has only been a pain. Reason 4 crashes, Parallels 3 crashes, Mail crashes (I wrote some important notes which I guess don't get automatically saved like drafts and lost the notes when mail crashed several hours after I wrote them), my software update even crashed once. is Leopard built on OS 9 technology? what a disappointment.
    Oh and internet and wireless connection to ADSL seems pretty slow, slower than tiger I think.
    Windows should start a new campaign called "Come back".
    One last beef, do other people find this wireless keyword (metal) not so responsive, letters get missed as I type, space bar is stiff and squeaky, overall not great for someone doing a lot of writing? that's what I think.

  • Macbook Pro Retina (15") can't connect to wireless mouse and external USB keyboard

    Hi All,
    I got my new MacBook Pro Retina (15 inch) about 3 weeks ago. It works fine. I got a 30" Dell screen that I am using via thunderbolt/usb adapter. Also, I am using a thunderbolt ethernet adapter. Both adapters work fine without any problems.
    I have an apple usb keyboard connected to the USB hub of the screen, as well as my iphone cable. It is a regular, full size apple keyboard. In addition to this, I have a logitech nano connected directly to the right usb port of the macbook pro.
    This setup was working well until a few days ago. I lost connectivity with my mouse. Initially, I thought the batteries are empty. After replacing them, I still had no connection (again, the usb receiver is *directly* connected to the macbook).
    I changed a few cables here and there and noticed that I can get either the keyboard to work or the mouse but not both at the same time. A reboot did not help.
    Did anybody encounter such a strange problem already? If so, what could I possibly do?
    Thank You,
    --Martin

    Hello nikkig00,
    It is certainly difficult to use the computer if your wireless keyboard and mouse do not connect.  I found a few resources I recommend for this issue.
    I recommend reviewing this article first:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3048
    If the issue persists, I recommend reviewing the section titled "Top troubleshooting tips" in the article below.  Step 9 specifically stands out to me for the issue you described:
    9. Restart your computer
    Sometimes a simple restart of your Mac is all it takes to get things running smoothly again. You may also want to try resetting your computer's PRAM and NVRAM.
