Bluetooth connection lost after sleep mode

I'm using a bluetooth keyboard with my iPhone. It works great. However, if the phone goes into sleep mode, it does not keep the connection and I have to re-establish the connection through settings each time. Is there a way to keep the connection or have it automaticaly reconnect?

I use the Apple bluetooth. When I sleep my iPad it actually puts the keyboard to sleep. Probably to save the batteries. When I wake the iPad, I still have to go to the Bluetooth and reconnect via the iPad. The keyboard automatically turns back on so I don't have to power it on. I think that is the best you could hope for.

Airport connection lost after sleep mode

Hello everbody,
Each time I send my PowerMac G4 MDD Dual 867 to sleep it won't to connect to my (or rather to any) Airport network anymore after waking up, it just seems as if Airport is completely defunct after waking up.
My iBook G4 works without any problems on the same network, by the way.
I know the workaround with restarting IPv4 networking (described here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1122310&#1122310) and I have also created an AppleScript for automatising this process, however I am still wondering, if this issue will ever be addressed by Apple, since it is still present for me in 10.4.6.
Best regards,

Okay, this might not solve your problem, but I had a similar problem when I switched from WPA2 to WEP on my Airport, therefore also changing the password which again somehow got my Powerbook confused.
I went into System Preferences > Network > Airport and looked at my "Preferred Networks" list (Not "By default, join..." > "Automatic"). Then I edited my airport network in that list (the small "Edit" button) and I saw that the password somehow was corrupted. When I corrected this error my Powerbook began joining automatically after sleeping again. Strangely, this setting has nothing to do with the Keychain Access, even though you can find your base station's password there too...
Oh, and I might add: My airport is on a closed network and is therefore not "visible"...

Connection lost after sleep mode

When my computer comes out of sleep mode, it's not connecting to the Airport wireless connection. Waiting doesn't seeme to matter...the icon on my iMac (upper right on screen) shows no connection. I have to manually turn off Airport and turn it back on to get it to connect (turning it off and on using the icon).
I have made zero changes to my system, other than that we moved to a new home. No equipment changes...no settings changes. What the heck is going on to cause it to no longer connect when coming out of sleep mode? And more importantly, how do I fix that? Thanks very much!

Try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

Lost Bluetooth Connection when in Sleep-Mode

Hey,

so i have no possibility to type my password to log in.
it mostly happens when the mac is in sleep-mode for longer period of time like over night or so.

does somebody have the same probs? or better a solution?
thanks in advance...

My 3gs disconnects from my wi-fi at night while plugged into my wall charger causing my AT&T data usage to go over my 200mb plan. I like to listen to a radio app overnight and this situation is quite annoying. AT&T forgave the overage but had NO solution to my paltry wi-fi delimma. I am going to try the "sync while connected to wi-fi" setting in I-Tunes but I am almost afraid to try it again because the overage may not be forgiven this time and It's not worth the hassle. I have been using my Macbook instead for this duty with no worries of an overage. I'm also a Pandora fan and this has limited me to just using my I-Tunes library for music instead of Pandora. This is a problem that benefits AT&T and I'm sure they bill for LOTS of overages because of this problem. I hope the I-Tunes solution will FIX this glitch.

Why is wifi connection lost after sleep/wake mode?

I've had this iMac a little over a year and had not experienced this until a few days ago. Every time my computer comes out of sleep mode the wifi is no longer connected. I must turn it off wifi and turn it back on again to re-establish a connection. Any suggestions? Thx!

Hello tim290,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like after the computer wakes from sleep it does not connect to the internet. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity - Apple Support
Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
After waking from sleep or starting up, your computer may not show that it is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
After start or wake, your computer may indicate that it is connected to a network, but does not connect to the Internet.
Solution
Use these steps if your computer does not automatically connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Check your TCP/IP settings in the Network pane of the System Preferences. Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
Choose Network from the View menu.
Select Wi-Fi, then click the Advanced button in the lower-left hand corner of the screen.
Click the TCP/IP tab from the top of the screen.
Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button.
Select the Wi-Fi tab and view your Preferred Networks list.
Select each network and click the minus (-) sign to remove those networks from your Preferred Networks list.
Click OK and close the Network preferences.
Remove your stored network passwords using the Keychain Access Utility.
Open Keychain Access from /Applications/Utilities. Your window will look like this:
Remove your AirPort network passwords from the login keychain: Select the "login" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".
Remove your AirPort network passwords from the System keychain: Select the "System" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".Note: The above steps will remove your Wi-Fi network passwords. If you do not know them, or if your network does not use passwords to restrict access, you should contact your network administrator.
Restart your computer.
Join your Wi-Fi network. You will need to enter your password for your network again if it requires one.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Server connections are lost after sleep mode with Mavericks.

Ever since I "upgraded" to Mavericks, when I "wake" my iMac after putting it in Sleep mode, the network connections have disconnected and I have to re-connect all of them (6) every day. This never happened with Mountain Lion or any other previous version of OS X. Is there a fix for this?

I've also noticed this problem. Brand new MBP with Mavericks, goes to sleep, on wakeup all my network drives are disconnected, as is Outlook 2011. None of them recover gracefully - I have to manually reconnect. Aggravating..

Wi-Fi Connection lost in sleep mode

After upgrading to 3.0, my Wi-Fi connection is lost as soon the iPhone gets into sleeping mode. After unlocking the connection doesn't wake up. New Bug?

there's now an option to Auto-Join each specific network. It might default to no for your wifi network. Just clock on the blue arrow next to the network name and tell it to Auto-Join.

Bluetooth connection lost after wakeup ( CSR - bc4 )

hi
after wakeup, my aluminium keyboard cannot connect anymore to my macbook pro. when i go to systempreferences/bluetooth i can see the bluetooth's host name is CSR - bc4 (???). when i turn bluetooth off and on again the hostname does set correctly to the name of my macbook-pro. after the restart of the bluetooth-service my keyboard works like a charm.
any suggestions?
greetings from switzerland

I am having the same problem.
If I use the new aluminium wireless keyboard (with my existing wireless mighty mouse) neither the mouse nor the keyboard reconnect to the computer on waking from sleep - it does announce that I have lost the bluetooth connection but tapping/clicking/waiting doesn't facilitate reconnection.
If I send the iMac to sleep again (using the power button - the only way I have to get any signal to my machine at this point - I haven't tried Morse Code yet) it does then recognise the peripherals on waking the second time.
I have also noticed that if I turn the mouse and keyboard off causing the "connection lost" warning and then put the machine to sleep, everything does reconnect on waking (switching them back on of course).
I have it set not to wake from sleep using bluetooth devices, so that I can tidy my mouse/keyboard away without disturbing the mac. Using my old white wireless keyboard (but the same Mighty Mouse) it works beautifully again as it always did in Tiger with only a minimal delay on waking from sleep before reconnecting automatically.
The aluminium keyboard is beautiful. But we need a fix - anyone? Is it a hardware problem? A set of dud keyboards? Has anyone found that a different aluminium wireless keyboard does work with the same setup? Or that their troublemaking keyboard does work on other machines?

Wifi connection lost after sleep

Hello guys,
I have a MacBookPro retina 15" and every time my mbp go in sleep mode it lost the wifi connection...
Someone solved this issue?
bye bye,
Oscar

Test after taking each of the following steps. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions.
2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly."
3. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
4. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
5. In some cases, the problem has been resolved by repairing permissions on the startup volume.
6. Reinstall OS X.

Bluetooth Connection lost after a few seconds - EV...

Hey,
I have an new Nokua Lumia 920. I want to connect my Lumia via Bluetooth to my laptop and in the university I treif to connect it to another laptop, as well as to my old XDA Touch Diamon!
The problem: I can find all bluetooth devices and can also connect to them, BUT every connection is lost after about 5 seconds. This cannot be! Here are my firmware versions - are there issues?
OS-version: 8.0.10211.204
firmware-revision-version: 1232.5957.1308.0007
hardware-revision-version: 1.0.0.0
radio-software-version: 1.0.202093.3
chip-SOC-Version: 8960
I am located in germany. Anyone has a hint or solution - phone nearly useless to me without bluetooth.
Best regards

You do not have to be bluetooth connected to transfer files to and from the phone.
Initiate the trandfer and it will happen. If they have been paired before, no passcode will be required.
Theey won't keep a BT connection because none of the profiles the phone has requires one.

Wireless Connection lost after sleep: iMac 27-inch

When my iMac goes into sleep mode, or logs off after pre-determined time, it loses the wireless connection to the router. I then have to go to the upper right of the screen, select my router from the list of available routers, and force a connection.
Has anybody else experienced the inability to maintain persistent wireless connections?
Thanks!

I had the same problem for weeks with my new 27" iMac. I tried resetting p-ram, adjusting network settings, throwing out preferences for network settings - - - everything! Nothing worked. I final called Apple support and they told me to unplug EVERYTHING from the Mac, including power, wait 30 seconds, and reboot.
Works fine now.
Hope that helps!

Bluetooth connection lost during sleep

Intel iMac frequently loses its bluetooth connection with a magic mouse during sleep and doesn't re-connect upon waking up. A restart is used to re-establish the bluetooth connection. The iMac is a late 2012 model (2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 21.5 inch screen).

as a workaround then I suspect that turning off the mouse and back on again will make it work
windows 8.1 have the same issue with my razor mouse not with my magic trackpad though
I disconnect the razor mouse and reconnect and all is good quicker then reboot

Wireless Connection Lost in Sleep Mode

I connect to the Internet via an Airport Extreme Base Station and a Toshiba cable modem. It worked fine since I bought it in February, but in the past couple of days, my Powerbook loses the connection with the Airport whenever it goes into Sleep Mode and I have to go back into System Preferences and reselect the Base Station to regain it.
I've tried resetting the Airport preferences and turning off the computer to reboot. I've also reset the Base Station itself.
Any suggestions?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Let's see. So you bought 250mb data and ran thru it, then purchased unlimited.
People seem to not understand a few things. First, 250mb of data is nothing. If you are not a "techie type" perhaps you should have researched exactly what you can do with 250mb. Ten images from my Nikon are OVER 250mb. Second, you paid 15 bucks for 250mb data and as I said, ran thru it. You got your 15$ worth of data. What do you want refunded??
Third, then instead of waiting until your month was up and you got another allotment of 250mb you didn't want to wait and chose to go on the unlimited plan. That plan started that day and will last for 30 days. What exactly do you feel should be refunded? The 250 you used, or the unlimited which you plan to use?
So to recap:
1. You have no idea how much data you can stream for 250mb.
2. You paid for 250mb data and used 250mb data.
3. You then paid for unlimited data, which is your current situation.
4. You then called Apple (which has nothing to do with AT&T billing) and are now mad because no other cell phone provider has the micro sim AND come here to trash the "techie type" who honestly answered your question.

Internet connection lost in sleep mode

My internet connection dies when going into sleep mode. What can i do to fix this?

+My internet connection dies when going into sleep mode. What can i do to fix this?+
It's not broken. Don't put your computer to sleep manually and do change your Sleep settings on the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences. Your entire system can operate without interuption when "Put the display to sleep" is activated, so that time can be shortened while you lengthen the amount of time the computer will be awake to something more convenient - or set it to "never."
