Bluetooth off on wake up

Whenever I wake up my P55-A5200 the Bluetooth is off and I cannot get it to come back on. Under the airplane mode the toggle is greyed out and it doesn't show at all in device manager. I have to reboot to get it to turn back on.
HELP!!!

Satellite P55-A5200
Try keeping Bluetooth awake.
Open Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) and double-click the Bluetooth device to bring up its Properties.
On the Power Management tab, clear this check box.
If you upgraded to Windows 8.1, did you follow these instructions? See Appendix A

10.6.8 - now Bluetooth won't wake it up

Just upgraded to 10.6.8, and now the 'Allow Bluetooth devices to wake up this computer' is dimmed - I have to switch my USB printer on or off to wake the iMac up. That's a nuisance. Any ideas?

is a Apple kext file and likely necessary.
What you can do is backup your Users folders to another external drive (not TimeMachine) first so you have your files outside of TM. Disconnect this drive for safety reasons.
Then hold c and boot off the OS X 10.6 installer disk and simply reinstall OS X on top of the installed version, then use the 10.6.8 Combo Update here
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
That should replace the troubled kext file with a fresh version.
This shouldn't bother your files or third party programs unless they have kext files or other "hooks" into OS X, if these programs fail, then just reinstall them from fresh sources and/or update to reinstall their missing parts.
Consider cloning your boot drive to a external HFS+ journaled formatted drive with Carbon Copy Cloner.

Loss of bluetooth connections after wake-up from sleep

Hi,
I upgraded to Lion on my Macbook Pro i5 2.4GHz yesterday. Now every time when I wake up the computer from sleep, my apple bluetooth keyboard and mighty are not responsive at all. Even if I click on "connect" one by one, they still do not respond unless I turn off the bluetooth of the Macbook Pro and turn it back on again. I'm not sure if anyone else has this problem too and would really appreciate a solution. Lion is great. But this bug is quite annoying.
Thanks in advance.
Doniel

1. Footnote to gtmagnet's suggestion:
I tried it (checking the option to allow Bluetooth devices to wake the computer), then I put my MBP to sleep. Then I manually switched off my Magic Trackpad (to conserve battery life). With the option in question checked, the physical act of switching off the Magic Trackpad immediately reawakened the MBP :/ (I appreciate that the MT automatically retreats into a low power state without needing to be switched off, but I prefer to get maximum mileage from my batteries).
That solution also didn't solve the original problem for me.
2. Footnote to CWL's suggestion:
I then tried that solution (removed the MT and then re-added it), but that didn't work either. Perhaps I need to be more aggressive in seeking out and deleting system files - but this makes me nervous.
So for now, I'm still having to reboot every time the MT fails to be recognised on awakening from sleep. It would be really nice if Apple could just get over its blushes and issue the first batch of bug fixes without any further delay

Bluetooth Unresponsive After Wake from Sleep

I have an issue where when my macbook pro wakes from sleep, the bluetooth mouse will not connect, and BT becomes unresponsive. Sometimes I can turn bluetooth off then back on and be OK, BUT 95% of the time, I have to restart the computer to get bluetooth back.
After waking, the BT appears to be on, I get the popup on the screen which tells me "connection lost" with a picture of a mouse. I can open BT preferences and turn BT off, but nothing happens. I can even recheck "on" but it is completely unresponsive.
Things tried:
Allow BT to wake this computer is UNCHECKED
in activity monitor I have forced quit BLUED, but BT does not come back.
I have trashed the BT preference file Mac HD/library/preferences/com.apple.bluetooth.plist
I have reset SMC and PRAM
Tried a Logitech V470 and mighty mouse
Fresh install of 10.6.0, then upgraded to 10.6.1, then 10.6.2 (using combo)
Tried disabling steermouse, fresh batteries, holding my mouth right...
When the BT is not responding, the BT name either changes to 2.2.4f3 (which is the Apple BT software version), or it says "name not available".
Also in system profiler, when BT is not responding the BT "Hardware settings" section is missing. It starts with "services".
This is driving me crazy. Could this be hardware related? I feel it is more software, since on restart, the BT mice pair perfectly and work great. The never randomly disconnect.
This issue only happens when the computer resumes/wakes from sleep.
Everyone please provide feedback. I am the only one with this issue? I have scoured the net, and find very little regarding this exact issue. I am within my 90 days from buying, should I call Applecare or is it a waste of my time?
Thanks for your help,
Jeff

I've got what sounds like the same problem with my new unibody MacBook Pro.
I've had the problem with both 10.6.1 and 10.6.2.
I also find that a reboot fixes things. In my case, I can sleep/wake multiple times with
no problem, but once the BT goes unresponsive upon wake, every subsequent sleep/wake
will suffer the problem until I next reboot.
I also discovered that in my case I can re-pair the non-responsive devices (two flavors
of Logitech mice and an Apple wireless keyboard) while in sick-BT mode and they will
work until I next sleep/wake, whereupon they will again fail to connect and my
choice is either to re-pair yet again, or reboot and have the problem go away, at least
for awhile.
I'm trying to correlate my activity with my BT going out to lunch, but have yet to narrow
it down definitively. I have one or two data points that make me suspect it goes south
after I use VMware Fusion (Version 2), but I cannot yet rule that one completely in or out.

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

Why can't I use the spacebar on my Apple bluetooth keyboard to wake my iMac?

I'm pretty sure I was able to use Apple's Bluetooth keyboard to wake the machine before. The only solution I have so far is use the power button on the back of the iMac to wake it and worse, not letting the hard drive sleep in the first place. Neither of these options suit me very well. Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks!!

Hi iNstaPro,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iMac isn't waking from sleep reliably, I'd try these steps from our display troubleshooting article:
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.

Turns out there was a film on the glass side of the phone that I didn't even know was there! All is well now! Yay, cause I'm really liking this phone. Had a blackberry for ever. Thank you for your prompt response. Ann

Are you recovering Lion or later Time Machine backup with a Lion or later machine?
If you are, then use this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
Other Time Machine restore options are here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
Note, if recovering from a PowerPC Mac (iMac G5, PowerMac, Mac Mini G4, iBook, Powerbook), this tip is important:

Otherwise use the recommended restore option with whatever backup software you used initially.

Hi John. Thanks for that input. At Step 6, after clicking "Next" I get a window telling me my OS version is unsupported and the installation may not complete. I am prompted to go to Canon's web site to "Check Latest Info".
I've had this window on previous attempts and from Canon's web site I downloaded two drivers as follows
- ICA Driver V4.0.0
- Canon IJ Network Tool V4.5.0
I'm not sure if these are the correct / complete drivers I need for this install or not.
I continue to follow all the steps. At step 9 I click "Wireless Set Up using USB" amd get a License Agreement (a little different than instructions)
I click "Agree" and it goes to a Setup window with two progress bars showing the installation. I've not been prompted to connect the USB?
After the Setup window is done, I am then prompted to connect the printer via USB. I connect the printer and click on "Redetect". It is not detected.
I then try following the Canon on screen instructions for connecting to the wireless LAN amd enter the password. It searches and indicates "Connecting" on the window, but it never connects and the blue light just blinks
So, at this point I am stuck??
Thanks

Can't turn bluetooth off, unspecified network in my computer.

Why can't I turn my computer bluetooth off? And why is there an unspecified network in my computer? And why do the bluetooth file exchange automatically opens at the same time when all the above happens? Why do I have to reformat my computer and import CDs once every few months?can

When you go to "System Preferences">"Bluetooth" and uncheck the "On" box does it come back on? Or if your bluetooth symbol is in the "Menu Bar" you can click the "Turn Bluetooth Off" in there.
Check in "System Preferences">"Sharing". Do you have any of the sharing boxes cheked? Your MacBook will search for any computer within range and put it in the sidebar of the "Finder" window. Is this what you mean?
Why do you have to reformat your computer and import CDs once every few months? What is going wrong that you have to do that?
And why are you at 10.6.1? Are you not doing Software Updates?

New MBP Retina wifi is awful - even with bluetooth off! But works fine when using Ubuntu 13.04

Hello - I've recently as of last week - purchased a new Macbook Pro Retina.
I've dual booted it with Ubuntu 13.04.
The wifi is terrible when logged into the OSX. However, works fine in Ubuntu! I've tried turning bluetooth off as suggested in many forums, but to no avail.
Any idea - my first Mac too, so I'm trying hard not to give up and just return it for something else!
Thanks

Was the OS X wifi terrible before or after you installed Linux?
Linux is not a Apple approved operating system for running on Mac's.
The open source community has a different philosphy than commerical companies like Apple or Microsoft, it might be that your OS X wifi drivers was surplanted with those from Linux and thus OS X can't recognize them and defaulted to a more basic mode of a slower speed.
Apple doesn't provide drivers publically for Mac's, so it's some third party hacker, with quesitonable skills and non-communication with Apple, that's providing the drivers. So there is a problem there, which I've found out about myself when installing Linux on older Mac's.
I advise Linux and other non-approved operating systems to be run in a virtual machine program instead.
Install Windows or Linux into VirtualBox
Unfortuntly to fix your system and uninstall Linux, which is designed to be installed on generic PC's, is to erase your ENTIRE boot drive, including the hidden EFI parititon where Linux installs it's swap file.
I suggest you take your machine into Apple and tell them what you did.

'Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer' always dimmed

I'm trying to use an external display with my 1.33ghz 12" G4 PB and use a BT mouse/keyboard.
I've been through this technote http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300562 on "How to use your PowerBook G4 or MacBook Pro with the display closed and a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse" and this http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86524 "What to do if "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" option is not available"
I've updated my BT software, updated firmware but still 'Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer' remains greyed out! Meaning everytime I close the lid on my PB when an external display is connected my computer goes to sleep.
Please, anyone able to help?

You have not applied the Apple Bluetooth Firmware Updater. To use this option several steps are required in the following order:
Download the Apple Bluetooth Firmware Updater
Install it
Launch it from Applications > Utilities > Bluetooth Updater
Apply it to your adapter (takes very long).
In most cases step 3 is missed. You have to start the already installed updater yourself (do not ask me why).
Additionally you might have broken your Apple Bluetooth Software. Apply the Mac OS X v10.4.5 combined updater which contains the latest version.

How can I turn bluetooth off via terminal or applescript?

I want to write a short little script that when launched will shut off my bluetooth, I do not need to have the script turn the bluetooth back on. ONLY TURN BLUETOOTH off.
I really hope there is a way to do this, is there?

Try posting in the Mac OS X Technologies/AppleScript forum area.

I accidently deleted bluetooth off my Macbook.. Is there any way to reinstall to the computer again?

Please if you know of any way to do this, let me know!
Thank you

What do you mean you "accidentally deleted bluetooth" off your MacBook?
You can't delete Bluetooth, unless you've been specifically messing about inside the hidden "Library" folder and entering your admin password when deleting files in there - you certainly can't do that "accidentally".
Please describe exactly what you've done, and what you're trying to get back, and we'll try to help.

Cant get bluetooth device to wake computer

Hi, i have winows xp on my macbook. Im using an external monitor with the laptop lid closed. So i was wondering if there was a way to wake the laptop up from hybernation by using my external keyboard and/or mouse. As at the moment i have to open the laptop lid and use the track pad untill it starts up and recognises the bluetooth devices again. I can get it to work flawlessly in OS X, just not in XP.
so can anyone help me an tell me how i can get my wireless bluetooth mouse to wake windows xp?
Thanks.

Same problem here. Mac OS has an option to wake on bluetooth devices, but windows doesn't seem to have such an option. There is a Microsoft Knowledge Base article about this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/266283
that describes the solution as
"To resolve this issue, see the documentation that is included with your computer. Alternatively, contact your computer manufacturer for information about how to configure the BIOS. "
In other words, there would need to be a BIOS setting in boot camp that would allow the Bluetooth receiver to be active in the sleep state, just as there is in Mac OS. Maybe there is such a setting, but I haven't yet found it. I'll keep looking.
