Bluetooth keyboard has sticky keys after waking up from sleep!

Hey guys, I'm using the newest Apple bluetooth keyboard (A1314) with an iPad running 4.2.1. The keyboard works great if I'm using it constantly - I can sit for hours and type away with no problems. However, if the keyboard sits for a few moments and goes to sleep, then often when I wake it back up, the keys will "stick". Not physically - just in software. Any key on the keyboard will do it, so I know it's not a particular key causing the problem. If I power cycle the keyboard, it works fine after pairing back up. Batteries are fine.
Any ideas? Thanks!

I have been having problems with repeating keys on my iPad 2.  I purchased a Zaggmate keyboard case which I love, but the last two weeks, it started repeating keys - not just one key - any key.  The last letter I type before pausing gets repeated and will fill an entire page with that letter.
I tried hooking up my Apple Bluetooth keyboard and the same thing happened.  This leads me to believe that the issue lies with the iPad and not the keyboards.  I've rebooted my iPad and it seems to be accepting the Apple bluetooth keyboard now without repeating keys. In one second, I'm going to fire up the Zaggmate keyboard and see what happens - stay tuned....
Well, I've fired up the Zaggmate and it appears the reboot of the iPad has solved the issue. 
Very strange and MORE THAN A LITTLE IRRITATING!

  • Keyboard and Mouse unresponsive after waking up from sleep mode....

    This morning my trackpad and keyboard no longer work at all. I also had a mighty mouse hooked up via bluetooth and that no longer works (the bluetooth symbol doesn't even show up.) I tried hooking up an external keyboard (i don't have a usb mouse to try though) and that didn't work either. I tried repairing permissions and that didn't help. I also did some googling and saw that people who had the same problem thought it was the ribbon cable under the battery. however when i start it up with the leopard restore disc, the trackpad works. any ideas on how to fix this?

    I had the same issue with my previous-gen MBP. I had to send it in several times to have the keyboard/trackpad replaced, which helped, though did not solve the problem.
    Check that you have the "Built-In Keyboard Firmware Update" and the "MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update", these items can be found in Applications > Utilities. Please note that I have since then upgraded to a new MBP, and as such, I am only telling you where I find those files on my MBP. I don't recall which of the two files I had installed to temporarily repair the issue, though I am pretty sure both apply to this situation.
    Here is the link to the download for the Firmware Update. Make sure they apply to your MBP before installing. The Built-In update should have been applied if you use software update from your preferences pane.
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacBookPro_EFI_Firmware_Update_16
    I hope this helps... again, I cannot be sure about this, as I no longer own the previous-gen MBP and I was never able to resolve the issue completely. good luck.

  • HT204032 Macbook Pro mid 2012 keyboard and trackpad lag after waking up from sleep

    I did extensive research and cannot find a solution that seems to work. My new MacBook pro runs Mountain Lion 10.8.2. Whenever I reboot it in the morning, or when its been sleeping for some time the keyboard and trackpack misses the first letters or takes about 5 seconds to register - to actually start working. This is NOT a Retina = therefore I don't think the Power Nap fix will work like on the Retina...... Please if anyone can assist it will be greatly appreciated.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • W510 eSATA/USB2.0 combo port does not respond after waking up from sleep mode

    Has anyone tried to connect external DVD/CD player or burner to the eSATA/USB combo port and experienced very slow system performance after waking up from sleep mode?  It might takes minutes to launch an application program that usually takes just few seconds.  My W510 can not even restart.  It will just stop at the Thinkpad logo if I tried to restart after waking up from sleep.
    The funny thing is if I moved the external DVD/CD player to the USB2.0 port in the back, everything went back to normal.  I don't know if this has anything to do with the fact that the combo port has something to do with eSATA.
    Thanks

    It seems that this problem is unique to my system. I am hoping that one of the Mac Guru's will have at least a pointer in the right direction.
    Thanks.

  • Lose connection to external USB hard drive after waking up from sleep

    My Mac lost connection to the external USB hard drive after waking up from sleep. I can still see the folders in the hard drive in Finders, but when I double clip a folder no file within the folder is displayed. I have to reconnect the hard drive with iMac to read its contents.
    May I ask how this happens and is there a solution?
    I'm using Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X to read from and write to NTFS format of USB external hard drive.
    Thanks!

    ... I un-ticked the "put hard disks to sleep when possible" option in the Energy Saver panel in the System Preferences, and it seems the problem is solved. will have to sleep and wake up my iMac to further verify if this is the solution ...
    Alternative advices are always greatly appreciated!

  • Dead USB controller after waking up from sleep

    Hi,
    I posted this a while back but the issue is still unresolved. I am experiencing USB port sleep issues after upgrading to Tiger (currently running 10.4.8). Sometimes the build-in USB port that has my keyboard connected to literally wakes up dead from sleep. Here is the error message from the Console log
    (XX-Computer kernel[0]: USBF: 24445.528 AppleUSBOHCI[0x15ab800] Watchdog detected dead controller (hcca #: 56759, hc #: 64465).
    This happens with no set pattern, sometimes it wakes up fine, other times the port is dead. A restart is required to bring it back to life.
    Any ideas why this is happening? If I plug in my keyboard to the other USB 1.1 port everything works fine (the port remains dead until the next restart). I also have a USB2 PCI card that works with the keyboard without any dead port issues but I can't use it for waking the computer (does not trigger wake up), but I simply prefer to use one of the equipped USB ports for my keyboard.
    I have 2 external FireWire HD's connected at times, one daisy-chained to an external FireWire CD Burner. I have a USB 1.1 hub connected to the other equipped USB 1.1 port, and a USB 2 PCI card installed.
    I run system maintenance tasks frequently (Onyx) and repair permissions prior and post SW installs and updates.
    Thanks for any input.

    It seems that this problem is unique to my system. I am hoping that one of the Mac Guru's will have at least a pointer in the right direction.
    Thanks.

  • Compaq C700 - CPU fan not running after waking up from Sleep mode

    Hi guys,
    Waking up from Sleep mode does not start the CPU fan.
    Kernel:  2.6.32-ARCH
    KDE : 4.4
    Let me know what other details you need.

    I was having the same problem after installing mountain lion.
    What i did was in Finder went to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/  and deleted all the networking plists (refer screen shot). Then restarted the Mac and in Network Preferences reconnected to my WLAN.
    That solved the problem.

  • Track pad freeezzzz after waking up from sleep mode

    HI
    i have OS X Ver 10.5.1
    i have enough ram, disk space, and have the 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo processor.
    but when my mac wakes up from sleep the track pad is just not behaving properly, i.e it keeps jumping positions and freezes until i restart. if this continues it will be very frustration to use leopard.
    also i did not get the option to archive and install at the installation so i cant even down grade, this is one of those time i trusted that everything will go right and looks like the problems just begun.
    please help me !

    Hi,
    I have almost the same problem with my T540p, except that there is no internet connection not only after waking up from the sleep mode, but also when starting windows and sometimes the internet connection will get suddenly lost during normal windows run.
    I tried installing all kinds of drivers - latest from intel, latest from lenovo update (which is always different version from the one from intel), some older versions. Nothing helps.
    Re-enabling the WiFi device like Aaziz1982 suggested, doesn't help.
    Here is a more detailed description of my problem: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T540p-WiFi-Connected-no-internet/m-p/177818...
    Does anyone have other suggestions?
    Thank you,

  • Slow response time w/bluetooth after waking computer from sleep

         Hello everyone. I have an issues and here are the steps used to reproduce it as well as my specs and thoughts. I have taken this in to Apple  retail to check, but the problem could not be re-produced (I think the computer as well as the bluetooth devices have to sleep for this to happen). By the way, does anyone know how long it take for the bluetooth Apple keyboard, mouse and trackpad take to auto-sleep after in-activity?
    Hardware:
    Macbook 6,1
    2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7 (11A511)
    Latest Apple bluetooth keyboard, trackpad, and mouse
         Basically, after the computer has been to sleep (and I think the bluetooth devices also because this does not happen instantly after sleep if you wake it back up as the Apple Genuis tried and could not get it to happen) and I wake it about 30 minutes or later with either the built in keyboard or any bluetooth device, all bluetooth devices are responding (connected for sure), but my cursor for exmaple jumps across the screen and the keyboard wont type and is super slow. Keep in mind that the whole time this is happening, the built in keyboard and trackpad work great (leads me to think this is bluetooth hardware or software related). After about 1 minute, I can move the mouse cursor normally and type in my password to login. I will eventually take a screen-recording and show my perspective. I have taken this into an Apple retail store, and they could not get it happen, but I think this has to do with the bluetooth devices sleeping, or the amount of time after sleep. We only waited for the front light on the Macbook to go bright and dim to confirm it was asleep and then woke it up and  everything worked ok. The Genuis also check all hardware and confirmed the bluetooth hardware was working. I never had this problem at all with Snow Leopard. This happened as soon as I upgraded to Lion, I thought maybe I had a problem with the upgrade from SL to Lion, but I re-installed Lion (fresh) and still have the same exact problem.
         Please let me know if there is any thing I left out and I will be happy to edit. I don't always remember everything. Thanks!

    I just had a similar issue and fixed it by turning off the keyboard, waiting for the computer to recognise that, then turned it back on, all better.
    Last night I manually activated SLEEP from the Apple menu - I rarely do this but thought of it to kill the glare as I went to sleep.  This morning it woke up ok, but typing on the BT keyboard was super slow (I was changing windows then watching the keypresses appear in the new field, about one per second) and a special-characters popup was appearing (never seen that before). The Magic Mouse was working fine, as were the onboard keyboard and trackpad.
    My laptop (MBP 17" 2.53 i5) recently upgraded from SL10.6.8 to Lion 10.7.2, I have yet to apply the 10.7.3 patch.

  • Surface 2 Keyboard is not detected after waking up for sleep

    I'm running Windows 8.1 on the Surface 2(RT). I forget the keyboard name, but it is the purple one with the back lit keys.
    When I wake the surface upon from sleep it is very rarely that the keyboard will work.  Most times I need to detach it a few times to get it to detect or sometimes even reboot.  All updates are installed I think.. and this had worked initially..
    I've had the device for about 2 months now.

  • Hi, Lately many times my MBP15 shuts down a few second after waking up from sleep mode. Any ideas why? I think it happens everytime I try to open safari right away...

    I think it happens everytime I try to open safari right away, but I'm not sure. After shutting down it automatically restarts and gives me a message Ÿour computer had to shut down because of a problem, press any key to restart..." and when it comes on again it gives me an option to send an error report to apple.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Yeah your Mac is having a Kernel Panic and the option to Restart the system when that happens is checked. So the system Restarts Automatically. Uncheck that option. For some unknown reason it is located in the Energy Saver applet in System Preferences.
    As to the ROOT cause it could be software or hardware problems. There should be a Kernel Panic report in the console logs.
    But if you do a search of these forum you'll find many that are having these restarts waking from sleep. So it would seem to be a hardware problem.
