Bluetooth lost after sleep (since 10.6.8)

Noticed that since 10.6.8 update, once I wake up Macbook Pro by lid opening, bluetooth become disabled and can't be enabled anymore until I restart whole laptop. Does anyone met similar problem? If this is somecthing general with 10.6.8 update r

I'm having the same problem but I think my case is even worse. I have an iMac (late 2009) and when it returns from sleep I get no mouse and no keyboard (both are bluetooth).
The solution that is working is to switch off one of them (the keyboard, for example) and turn it on again. When does not work(I am unable to even enter the password) I have to turn off thecomputer power button (to put in sleep) and wake it again.
Oh, one important detail: I can not even wake up the computer,because neither the keyboard nor mouse work. The computer nowonly wakes up the rear power button.

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,
Björn Wilmsmann
PowerMac G4 MDD Dual 867 with standard Airport card Mac OS X (10.4.6)

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"...

Problems waking up after sleep since 10.8.3 update

A couple of weeks ago, I updated to 10.8.3. Since then, I have been having difficulty waking the machine after sleep. I get the constant beach ball. On a forced restart, I will get the spinning gear followed by the prohibitory sign, like it can't find the OS. I have tried rebooting in safe mode, resetting PRAM/NVRAM, repaired disk and disk permissions with disk utility, checked the status of hardware with (AHT), reinstalled OS X (twice), but the problem persists. I'm at a loss and have no idea what else to do.
I'm seriously regretting upgrading from Snow Leopard at all.
I've been trying to run time machine to back everything up, but my external USB backup disks keeps randomly unmounting, so I can't even get a solid backup now.
Please help.

No, it has nothing to do with being Friends or not.
There are more and more security issues with java, Oracle comes with updates almost every few weeks. Until lately Apple had it in theuir distribution system, but because of the security issues decided that it was not good business to distribute automatically this leaky system. So with new system updates the Java is removed to make sure the customers reinstall the latest version. You can download from both Oracle and Apple, but don't download from any other source.
Luckily I do not need it anymore and have not installed Java since a few months.

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.

Loss of Bluetooth devices after sleep

Forgive me if this topic has another main thread. I've found bits and pieces but no central thread for my specific problem.
I have a brand new iMac 24" with a clean install of Leopard attached to a Kensington Bluetooth mouse (bought from Apple store) and a new aluminum wireless Apple keyboard.
If I allow BT devices to wake the iMac it emerges from sleep every 10 minutes or so. I suspect either the keyboard or the mouse is polling the iMac or some such activity, causing the iMac to wake up. In that case both the mouse and keyboard work immediately.
Since I don't want the iMac to waken up prematurely, I set off the "allow BT devices to wake this computer" advanced option.
Now I briefly press the power button on the iMac and the iMac wakes up. But neither the keyboard nor the mouse has connectivity. I've repaired the devices, etc. NG
If I put the iMac back to sleep with the power button and waken it up again the devices are recognized.
On a power up from shutdown, the BT devices connect after about 15 seconds when the boot gets to the login panel.
Thanks,
Alex

[quote]'m also having this same issue. I ordered my iMac with a wireless Mighty Mouse,[/quote]
First thing, unless you have tiny hands or work on your computer less than 10 hours a week, dump the mighty mouse...your just asking for carpal tunnel, if you don't already have it.
Second, Apple is about to urk me, because they still haven't fixed the issue about the sleep mode in addition to no SDK for the iPhone etc. Since Apple shares have skyrocketed, it seems that apple has started to FORGET AND LISTEN to the people that have kept them afloat all these years.
Dreaded gradient issues? Did you buy your computer off of e-bay or something? I switched to a Mac going on 4 years now without any trouble...then again, I bought my last mac's from either Apple or an authorized dealer.
If your having issues call apple support, get an RMA if need be, and be done with it...and, unlike Dell and most of the Windows based pc manufacturers out there, Apples support dept answers within a few minutes and the techs actually speak ENGLISH.

WiFi must manually reconnect after sleep (since updating to 10.9.4)

My MacBook Air (Mid 2011) just updated to 10.9.4 and now the WiFi doesn't reconnect to my home network when I resume from sleep (open the lid). I need to click the WiFi icon and re-choose the home network each time.
This is new since I updated. Ironically, when I read the update notes, it was supposedly to fix this type of issue from occurring in the first place, and yet I never had the problem until after I updated.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Problems with networking after sleep since March 1st EPI firmware update

Hi,
After the new EPI firmware upgrade of my macbook pro (4 months old) a problem that I had 3 months ago re-appeared again :
when I received my laptop (Lion, fully updated) a few months ago it had problems getting internet access after waking from sleep : it could detect the wifi-network, it was connected and when I tried to ping -for example- google.com in terminal it would answer. This means my network was working and DNS was working too...
Only when opening safari, or software update or any other program that wants to go online, it would give me a 'no internet connection' message. After 3 minutes or so, it would work again (wihtout doing anything). I tried renewing the DHCP lease, moving the order of interfaces, re-adding the networks after deleting but nothing helped.
The problem back then was solved after a firmware upgrade, and it would be online 2 sec after waking from sleep.
After this week's firmware upgrade the problem came back......
Anyone have any suggestions, or anybody know if Apple is working on it again?
Thanks,
Koen

For me the problem is solved now.....last night software upgrade popped up with "another" EFI-firmware upgrade, and after this it worked again....too bad I didn't look at version number. But I'm happy I wasn't the only one with this problem....
For the questions above : this was abviously firmware related since it happened directly after the first update. If something has worked and nothing changed in the peripherals the problem is in hte thing that DID change...the firmware. I was surfing after solutions and I did see that there is a problem for some people with the way the OS passes on the DNS (so when pinging, the DNS is picked up directly or something, but in applications such as safari.... it grabs the settings from the OS somewhere). There was a terminal-based solution to reset this setting but by the time I wanted to try it the frimware upgrade popped up....but maybe it can help others...

Firefox 5.0. 1 internet lost after sleep but email works - os Lion

Firefox 5.0.1 was working fine under Snow Leopard but since upgrading to Lion I can not access websites when waking from sleep. I have to go into Network Preferences Diagnostics to get it working. I am using a Virgin Media wireless router (Netgear).
Wireless and internet connection are there as email works straight away.

Thanks drewmaness.
Confirmed. It works now after setting network.negotiate-auth.allow-proxies to False.

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..

Shared computers lost after sleep

There are three computers normally appearing under "Shared", to which I connect via my home network (cable, router, etc.).
One computer is a Macintosh (Powerbook G4, on Tiger), the others are PCs (one on XP, one on Vista).
Since I have installed Leopard a few days ago, those computers disappear from the "Shared" list after my iMac wakes up from sleep.
Any solution?
Thanks!

I had this too... tried all the remedies I read online, from deleting plists to tweaking MTU sizes... including the one that solved it for the above poster, but nothing worked more than a few hours.
What 'finally' worked was static IP reservations in DHCP on my Airport Extreme, and 'just' for my Yosemite Macs. My older Mavericks Mac and Apple TV don't have this problem... clearly something introduced with Yosemite. Personally, I think it's related to the new Continuity 'features', but that's just speculation.

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.

Need to turn bluetooth off after sleep so that apple mouse is 'seen' again

i have an apple bluetooth mightymouse bluetooth. after my macbook pro goes to sleep, i need to turn bluetooth off then on again on the MBP so that the bt mouse is seen again. if i don't do that, the mbp never reconnects with the mouse. any hints?
I have set off the 'allow bt devices to wake up computer from sleep' to save battery life on the mbp.
p

I use a Kensington PilotMouse Bluetooth and it looses it's connection from the MBP because the mouse turns off to prolong battery life. When I return the computer from sleep, I have to click the mouse buttons a few times... and wait up to 10 seconds, but it eventually reconnects once the laser on the mouse turns back on. Have you tried this?
I hope this helps.
Take care,
Chris

Has anyone solved the bluetooth pairing after sleep issue

I still get this problem I wake my mac and no mouse ! it won't pair, prefs says its connected but its not. A reboot works, but whats the piont of that it should work..

Great, done that appears to have done it. I will check after an extended sleep, as thats when it tends to go wrong.
It is a bit tedious to have to keep ironing out Lion bugs. If I had spent £350 on a Windows machine I would expect this, but when I spend £2000 on a Mac I do feel it should just work.

Apple TV 3 doesn't start Bonjour services after sleep since firmware upgraded to 6.0.2 (6646.81.1 build)

I have upgraded my AppleTV 3 to firmware 6.0.2 for five weeks but always getting problem in Airplay my ipad2 and wired iMac to Apple TV3. Before that, the Apple TV3 in firmware 5.0 was fantastic in everything. Now, the all-time-sympton of my Apple TV3 waking up from sleep is:
1) iPad2 in IOS6..1.3 can't find any airplay icon, same as my new iPhone 5s
2) The wired iMac can't connect to AppleTV3 through Airplay, neither from Maverick's airplay icon nor from iTune's airplay icon.
3) Further than that, the home sharing from AppleTV3 is found to be disconnected from iTune in iMac
My port-scan towards ApplTV3 at this scenario is found all the Bonjour services are missing, including:
* Remote Audio Output (port 5000)
* _airplay (port 7000)
* _touch-able (port 3689)
* Sleep Proxy Server (port 57206)
* _appletv-v2 (port 3689)
My walk around at the moment is to restart AppleTV3, then all the Bonjour services come back and airplay, home sharing work again. However, this requires me to restart the box everytime I bring up the box from sleep. That means I have to turn on TV... quite fustrated.
I'm wondering if there is any similar problem encounted and any fix. Well, I can't find any formal description from Apple but their trouble-shooting document keeps saying to "restart Apple TV" as last resort.
Tks in advance!

I finally found the like-symptom causing the issue of missing airplay services on ATV box.
Well, I have one airport express installed in my study room, which connects to the same LAN as ATV3 in living room. Today, I reset airport express to factory setting and reconfigured everything on AirportExpress, including its SSiD, wifi network key and device password. All of a sudden, my iPad, iPhone, iMac lost their airplay connection to ATV3. Port scanning found no airplay services on ATV3 box. It needed box restart to bring up airplay as my earlier walk around solution. I still performed reset -> restore for a "permanent fix".
That said we might have airplay icon disappeared again if there were more than one airplay device on the same LAN that would interfere to each other. Working on one airplay device from ground start would cause airplay service of another box malfunction.
My experience showed this twice. The first was happened when I put an airport express on the same LAN and I posted a thread here for help. The second was in this morning when i reset airport express to factory setting

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
