Bluetooth disconnects in "Sleep" mode

When I wake my MacBook Pro from sleep mode, both my wireless keyboard and wireless mouse do not reconnect... I have to physically turn bluetooth off, then turn it back on to recognize my mouse and keyboard.

Ditto on this problem for me too. Seems slightly intermittent: probably fails to connect nine time out of ten. Also, nature of fault seems to vary: sometimes BT has turned off completely, other times it's on but my devices just haven't connected.
Manual reconnection via BT prefs is a pain but only way I've found thus far to reconnect. Keeping BT in Menu Bar helps to speed things up a little.
Looking forward to a fix.

Wifi disconnect at sleep mode

After upgrade ipad to ios6.1 Wifi disconnect at sleep mode Whay?????????!!!!!!

I had this problem too. Try the following:
Connect to network.
Double tap the Home button to access the app list.
Press and hold, then tap the x on Settings (i.e. close the settings app)
Switch your iPad off and back on again.
This worked for me.
A lot of people are suggesting Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network Settings. Might be worth a try if the above doesn't work, but didn't work for me.

Problems with External Seagate GoFlex Firewire Drive Disconnecting on Sleep Mode

I am Running a 2.8Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 24" iMac running Mac OS X 10.7.3. I run time machine to backup to an external Seagate 3TB, FreeAgent GoFlex Desk, FireWire Drive. When the Mac goes into sleep mode, the Seagate drive un-mounts. When the Mac wakes up, I get an error that the drive was not properly disconnected and the drive is no longer mounted. The only way I can get the drive to remount, is to remove power from the drive for several seconds and then reconnect it.
I have seen several people talking about this issue in various forums with many various makes and models of FireWire drives, but I see no answers to this issue from Apple. Does anyone have a resolution to this issue, or are we just stuck with this problem? It is terribly frustrating!!!! The lack of response or interest from Apple is even more frustrating!!!

Wish I had an answer, or even a clue about this one. I have a Western Digital MyBook Studio that I've had for a fair number of years now and finally had to resort to just plugging it it as a USB device. Since it's only used for Time Machine backups and storing things I rarely need, it's not a huge burden, but I'd love to hear from anyone with a suggestion as to how to fix this. I recently upgraded from a 17" late 2006 iMac to a Mid 2011 21.5" iMac and would really like to go back to FireWire if it's not going to be a big-ole-pain in the hind end.

Keyboard and mouse disconnect after sleep mode

We've been having the following problem lately with our mini: We'll be away from the computer long enough for it to go into sleep mode. But when we wake it, we'll get the screen back and see the mouse pointer on screen, but the mouse will not work and we can't get the keyboard to input anything. There is power getting to the mouse and keyboard, but none of the input is registering.
The "solution" so far has been to do a hard reboot, which fixes everything, at least until the next time it happens. This doesn't happen every time we wake the computer from sleep mode, either.
For reference: We are using the Gateway keyboard and optical mouse that came with the computer which the mini replaced. And both of these are plugged into a USB hub, and the hub is plugged into the mini. (So I realize this could be a problem with the hub.)
Thanks!

LucysDad...
Is the hub self-powered (with a transformer to plug in) or buss powered? Buss powered units are no good IMHO. Must have powered ones, when it comes to hubs.
What brand? Port Authority seems to be tops in my book. I don't know whatever happened to Belkin but they went sour for Mac use in or around 2000. Something happened to Belkin's "suspend and resume" function circuits that affects as what we refer to as sleep and wake up mode. Other 3rd party hubs are a toss up so I don't even go there any more.

WRT54G2 disconnects in sleep mode

Thanks in advance for any help. My laptop HP G60-235DX is connected to my wireless router, which also connects a Mac desktop and another PC destop. I have the latest firmware, etc. I have tried several suggested changes in the setup page and my connection is frequently lost....sometimes with the router's power button off and sometimes it's still on...at any rate, I always have to unplug the router and plug it back in after 10 seconds and I'll get back on the internet. And, yes I have also powered down my router and modem several times.
Right now, the only way I can stay on line for any length of time, is to keep my laptop on high performance and that way it doesn't go into sleep mode when I shut the lid. It's a good thing I don't need to use the internet outside my home!!! BTW, I have also changed different settings on the computer like disabling sleep mode,,,etc...but that doesn't work either.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried upgrading the firmware on your Router. Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop..
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
Once you Re-configure all the settings on your Router, Here are some setting which you can set on your Router and i think this might solve your problem...
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
-Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
-Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to 9 and Standard Channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on save settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select AES...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

TS3402 iMac with OS X 10.8.4 will not stay in sleep mode.

After installing latest OS updates, 10.8.4, we cannot get our iMac to stay in sleep mode. Energy saving settings have computer sleep and display sleep set to15 minutes, put hard disks to sleep when possible and allow power button to put to sleep are selected. Wake for network is not selected. Also allow bluetooth devices to wake computer is not selected. We are using Time Machine using a USB connected seagate disk, USB connected keyboard and bluetooth mouse. Sleep mode worked before applying latest OS update to 10.8.4 level, which was the only recent change. Now, if put to sleep, monitor goes black for a few seconds then back on. Appears that something that I haven't identified wakes it up.

The solution was found in another post. The suggestion made by marks33 says:
My computer would not stay in sleep mode either since update Mac OS 10.8.4 and I tried resetting the SMC.
Resetting SMC:
Shut down the computer
Unplug the power cord and ALL peripherals (mouse, keyboard + ethernet cable also)
Wait 20 seconds
Attach power cable and wait another 10 seconds
Press power button
Attach all other cables after desktop appears.
Try it if you haven't already. It cured the sleep issue on my iMac.

OS X Mavericks v10.9.4 Update still does not fix the wifi shut off in sleep mode problem

OS X Mavericks v10.9.4 Update was supposed to fix the wifi connectivity problem with my iMac. Wifi disconnects in sleep mode and does not connect when awakened. Must reconnect manually every time. PITA.

Your observation is correct about wifi disconnection in sleep mode. That is normal, you may want to check to see if your Mac supports Power Nap/is enabled- OS X: About Power Nap
The reconnect should be automatic within a few seconds.
Does it happen with multiple wifi networks or just one?
Have you tried deleting and re-adding the wifi network?

Looses Wi-Fi on "sleep mode"

Hi, great phone btw,
I finally bought that nice phone in germany yesterday.
everthing works nice exept:
At home I´m loggind in in my W-LAN (Wi-Fi) everything works great but, if I put my phone into, dont know how to call it, "Sleep-Mode" that means, I push the Button on top of the phone (Screen gets black and phone is in standby). So after I push that button again, or the "Home-Button" The Wi-Fi signal is gone and it stands on "Edge". After I slide the the cursor to unlock I fine in my Wi-FI again.
So is this normal, because in the backgroud I have an instant messenger working in safari browser and it also get loose the connection while the phone is an "Sleep-Mode" / "standy mode".
Hope for an answer.
Sry my bad english

IT is Normal...
Reason would be that in sleep mode the assumption is you are no longer using the connection (since no Apple given application runs constantly)
SO yes it is Normal for it to "disconnect" in sleep mode and reconnect when the phone is awakend.
Also helps to perserve the battery life inbetween charges.
Welcome to the forums and also your English is fine.

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.
i have to restart the system with on/off-button which realy ***** ...
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.

My iPhone won't go into sleep mode after bluetooth pairing

I've recently acquired a Parrot MiniKit Neo (a bluetooth remote dialer) and after I paired it with my iPhone 4S / iOS 6, this one does not enter in sleep mode anymore (the brightness of the screen down after 50 seconds and after 10 seconds more, it wakes up automatically instead to go into sleep mode).
Reset my iPhone (holding power + home button) solved this problem until I've paired again my iPhone with MiniKit.
I didn't tried another bluetooth devices like headset.

I've checked through my apps, I can't seem to find anything that would cause this. For some apps that have internet access I've turned them off.
I tried going into Activity Monitor and quitting all the running processes, including those for Finder and stuff, most of these system processes starts up again. But even when I have quit everything that I can quit, the computer won't sleep.
I've tried disconnecting the internet, unplugging all my extras and shutting off Time Machine, but still insomnia. I've tried logging into the guest account but still insomnia.
I went to Macintosh HD>Library>Preferences>System Configuration and deleted the com.apple.PowerManagement and the com.apple.AutoWake.plist, rebooting and testing. But still insomnia. I've also deleted the User>Library>Preferences>com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file, and still no succes.
I've removed all the widgets, removed all startup items, and still no success.
It's not really a big issue, but the fact that I can't find the cause is driving me crazy!

For some reason My Imac will not wake up with bluetooth Trackpad or keyboard from being in sleep mode over night.

During the day it wakes up fine. this just happens on over night. I can press the power button on the Imac and screen wakes up but my trackpad or keyboard will not work. After I Restart my Imac by holding down the power button until it shuts down and then pressing to power back on it works right away. this starting happening about a week after Lion upgrade

I've been dealing with the same issue of not waking up from sleep. For a long while, I turned off the option entirely just so I wouldn't get mad at my computer. The difference with my setup, however, is that I use a USB keyboard w/ a USB mouse. I tried most the "solutions" that I've come across on these boards. What upsets me the most is the vast number of similar posts without a clear answer.
Anyways, since I use wired keyboard and mouse, I just turned bluetooth off on this computer and tried once more to wake it from sleep. Surprisingly, it worked. My suggestion, try a wired keyboard and mouse with Bluetooth disabled on the computer.
Edit: I spoke too soon. On the second attempt, it did not wake. For reference, that one single time that it woke up was the only time I've ever had my computer's display wake from sleep mode (like many, the computer wakes, but the display won't).
Here's to hoping that whatever is causing the problem is not around in Lion.

Disconnected from ANY chat program when I go into sleep mode

I am using an airport express connection with road runner. When my computer goes into sleep mode, any chat program I am using is disconnected -- this happens with AIM, iChat, and Netscape Navigator's chat screen. As soon as I move my mouse, or touch the keyboard, and go active, AIM automatically reconnects. Any ideas on how I can remain signed into a chat service when I go into sleep mode?

In sleep mode your mac only keeps the data in the RAM. all other things will be turned off, so that it´s impossible to stay online with the chat applications.

Macbook air keeps disconnecting from internet when going to sleep mode

New macbook air keeps losing Internet connection when going into sleep mode. Have tried deleting and re adding network and adding DNS 8.8.8.8 still is disconnecting.
Also, since Lion update 2 days ago Internet is very sluggish
HELPPPPPP!!!

You're not the only one. See here:

The current fix is to turn off sleep mode or use an Ethernet cable.

Wifi disconnects when waking from sleep mode; running Mountain Lion

Had this same issue with Lion as well,, wifi disconnects when waking from sleep mode,,,any ideas how to fix this pesky issue?

Hi Sky,
This has worked for a few...
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
10.7…
System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
For 10.5/10.6, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Click OK.
Also, turn off IPv6:
System Preferences » Network » AirPort » TCP/IP tab » Configure IPv6
Or whatever Interface you use.
