Apple Blue Tooth Mouse & Keyboard will not Wake Mac Pro while in Vista

I am running Vista Ultimate via Boot Camp OSX Leopard. I have a MAC Pro with apple blue tooth mouse and keyboard.
When the computer sleeps while in Vista, neither the mouse or keyboard will wake the computer. The only way to wake the computer while in Vista is to press the power button the MAC Pro.
After I wake the computer via the power button, the keyboard is unresponsive for about 2 minutes. Turning the power on and off on the keyboard does not speed up the process. The same thing happens intermittently when rebooting into Vista.
AppleCare says it's a Vista problem. Microsoft tech support says it's an Apple driver problem. Nice.
The keyboard and mouse do wake the computer when in Leopard.

Were you ever able to find a resolution to this issue? I am seeing the same perplexing grayed out box in device manager. In my case I'm using a MS Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and my machine is a Mini.
For anyone else who might happen upon this post, the exact click sequence is:
Device Manager -> Bluetooth Radios -> Apple Built-in Bluetooth -> Power Management

Blue tooth mouse doesn't work

A logitech m305 blue tooth mouse does not work on 15" Macbook Pro - works on the 12" however. Any suggestions for trouble shooting?

Right, the receiver was plugged into the USB port of the computer that I was trying to use the mouse with. And it worked on the 12" mbp and a mac desktop, but not the 15" mbp. So, I am not sure about anything. BTW, thanks for the Amazon picture showing the rf receiver. I will try to download a driver for the M305 onto the 15" some day.
Ok, it sounds like you have a handle on the situation. It's still strange that the mouse won't work at all on the 15" with the correct receiver installed. Usually the basic click and tracking functions will work even without special drivers. But, as you said, you do want to install the proper software for that mouse. Also make sure you try the reset button/process on the mouse. Once in awhile one of mine likes to be a bit finicky after I move from Mac to Mac, and I have to reset it (it "pairs" or establishes the connection between the mouse and receiver).

Apple Blue Tooth Mouse wont connect

I have Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit. My Apple Blue Tooth keyboard works fine and connects but when i try the mouse it says Connecting to device.. And it says that forever and it never connects. I have the new Imac that came out this year and all updates are installed. Any ideas

You need to open up the bluetooth setting and check mark the option allow other device to find computer, then pair it once it's paired you can uncheck that option if want to be safe.

Installing Blue Tooth Mouse after Tiger

I just upgraded to tiger with an iMac G4 17". I had previously installed a bluetooth USB adapter for my wireless mouse. Now, with Tiger, everytime the computer goes to sleep or screensaver, the blue tooth connection to the mouse is lost and when the computer is turned on, it tries to find the mouse. Any reason for this? How can I get it back so the mouse is always installed and doesn't lose connection? Thank you

There is one standard rule about OS X. It changes a lot with each major update (full .1 ) and messes with drivers. Go to the site of the mouse manufacturere, and see if there's an update, or a fix.
I have a standard rule, since OS X. NEVER use the driver that comes with a device. Do this:
1. Try the device with no software, first. This si successful for almost all devices.
2. Go to the site and download the driver. Why? Think about it. The box you buy is probably two months old by the time it hits the shelf. That's plenty of time for many bug fixes, and an update on the manufacturer's site. Mkae sense?
Sorry for the rant.

Blue Tooth Mighty Mouse compatability?

I've been needing a wireless mouse for a while, preferably blue tooth, the new mighty mouse and one logitech mouse are the only blue tooth mouses I've ever seen with more than just left and right click and scroll, but the logitech one was discontinued. I really want to get this now, but I need a mouse for gaming in bootcamp and I've heard blue tooth doesn't work or something, it appears to work when I'm in XP but I don't have anything Blue Tooth to test it. second even if blue tooth wasn't a problem it doesn't say under the Mighty Mouse page if it supports windows.
does anyone know if it could work in XP on a macbook too? (maybe a little soon to ask questions about it)

Generally speaking Bluetooth is not fully supported under Boot Camp. So in that regard it may not work correctly. I did attached a Logitech MX900 Bluettoh mouse under Boot Camp and everything seemed fine whereas my Apple Wireless keybaord didn't want to work. So really your milage may vary.
The thing with the new Mighty Mouse is that it may require specific drivers for you to be able to configure the additional buttons. If this is the case then it won't work as Apple will need to provide those drivers.
If gaming is important I would go for a USB wireless mouse so you are able to fully configure the mouse and install its software under Windows.

Blue tooth

After installing the Yosemite update on my MacBook Pro with retina display, the blue tooth mouse doesn't work anymore. Sometimes it connects but is has a delay and after a short time less than a minut the mouse is disconnected.
I see more people have this problem, do you have a solution?
Kind regards,
Lion Wildenburg

In System Preferences > Bluetooth, you should see your mouse listed in the "Devices" box.
Delete it, turn your mouse off, then back on again. You should be able to pair it again immediately, as if it was new.

Mighty Mouse and Blue tooth...Help me please

Hi,
I got the wireless mighty mouse, and I am able too get it to work with the blue tooth, but every time I turn off my mouse, or turn off my computer, it disconnects and I have to go through reconfiguring my mouse every time. Is there a way that every time I turn on my mouse it will automatically connect? It is really annoying having to go through the process of setting it up every time! Thanks!

Did you install the software that came with the mouse? Go into *System Preferences* and choose BlueTooth Under Settings be sure to check Discoverable Yo also might want to choose *Show Bluetooth in the menu bar*. This gives easy access to your settings and shows you when your mouse connects.
In the same window choose *Devices and be sure your mouse shows up in the *BlueTooth Device* window. In the second window you should see the status of the mouse. If you don't see any of this info configure your mouse. You should see this in the bottom window.
Paired: Yes
Configured: Yes
Favorite: Yes
Connected: Yes (this will only say yes if your mouse is on.
I never turn my mouse off. It will go to sleep to save power. If you wake up your computer just squeeze the mouse or press down to get it transmitting again. If you have done everything correctly the BlueTooth symbol in the menu bar will change to the symbol with a dashed line through it.
Hope this helps.

Ipad connecting with vmware view client v5.1. "any way to disable or hide radial virtual keyboard mouse interface as using blue tooth external keyboard"

Issue - ipad connecting with vmware view client v5.1. "any way to disable or hide the vmware view's radial virtual keyboard mouse interface" either in vmware view client settings, hidden cmds, or ipad system settings.
My client is using an external blue tooth ipad metal cover type keyboard and does not wish to have the radial keyboard / mouse visable or floating on desktop when connecting to vm with iPad using vmware view client v5.1.
i was unable to locate any settings or related toggle key/function combo keystrokes under iPad settings under vmware view client, to affect viewability of the radial keyboard/mouse. And can you kill it from service/process on vm instead of ipad? then dont allow service to restart at startup? What is the name of services that enable the radial virtual keyboard mouse - function to work?
Thanks for any and all feedback-

I'm having a very similar issue. Sometimes, when I boot and type in startx (I'm not even a GNOME user--I use dwm and no graphical login manager), I just get a black screen. No mouse cursor, so I think X doesn't even load. It only started with the xserver 1.6 update and the update to that hasn't changed anything. What I've been doing is just rebooting until it loads normally (takes one to three times). Is anyone else having this problem?

I just purchased a used wireless Mighty Mouse. Do I need to have Blue Tooth installed on my machine to use it?

Hey
So I just purchased a used wireless Mighty Mouse at a Goodwill very inexpensively on the 50/50 chance it would work. Right out of the gate I figured I might need to have Blue Tooth installed on my machine to use it, is this the case?
I have a Mac Pro Tower running 10.6.7, but I didn't opt for the Blue Tooth a few years ago when I purchased it. I knew I should've!
Thanks.

Well I purchased the Mac Pro in 2009 I believe. It could've been late 2008, but I can't quite remember. When I ordered it from the Apple store online I customized it. I had the amount of Ram I wanted put into it, and had two hard drives installed. While doing all of my customizations I could've opted to have the Blue Tooth card installed into the computer but for some reason I didn't see myself using it. I did get the generic wired mouse that came with the computer.

Blue tooth Mac mouse disconnect

My blue tooth Mac mouse disconnect very often, even I switch to new battery. OS 10.8.3
Any solution?

Correction: its the Mighty Mouse. i have tried two new apple mice and the following is the case;I can set the left side as the secondary contextual click, and it works. However, the right side will not work except as the primary. This could not be only me.

My Apple blue tooth keyboard will not pair with my mac mini

My Apple wireless keyboard was paired with my Mac Mini. It is no longer paired. I have put in new Batteries. I have pressed the button on the top right hand section of the keyboard, the green led lights up briefly. The Blue Tooth set up assistant appears on screen and searches for the keyboard. I has brifly seen it but does not make a connection. The Magic moose is doing the same thing.

Hi Darrell,
If your Apple Bluetooth and keyboard are not paring to your Mac Mini, then take a look at the article below to walk you through some general troubleshooting to get it to pair and start working again. If you have not done so already, try looking form anything could be causing interference like cordless phones as well and thing metal between the keyboard and the Mac Mini.
