Choose only One bluetooth device to wake the mac.

Hello, recently I have been having a unacceptable bt keyboard problem. This keyboard (3x AA model) with updated firmware, disconnects itself from my mac when my mac is sleeping and wakes it up with a "connection lost" It normally starts to happen when the batteries are at 71%. Basically I want to disable my keyboard from waking my mac BUT I do want to wake my mac with my good ol magic mouse. Their's only 1 option and that's to disable all bluetooth from waking my mac? c'mon apple that's no option at all. I want to choose only my mouse to wake up the machine. Please help me out you guys, It will be much appreciated and It will help the environment if I quit throwing out my batteries with 70% charge left. Was not this new firmware (1.1) suppose to conserve battery power. I am mind boggled please help. Thank you all.

To my knowledge, it is all or nothing. There is no way that I am aware of that you can selectively have a device wake the computer.

Only one Bluetooth device works at time! Mouse or headset, not both

I've used Apple Bluetooth mice for years with my Mac Mini. Bought a Motorola HX1 headset and one or both disconnects after a few minutes. Sometimes when the headset is detected the mouse starts being very very jumpy.
I'm fairly certain that BT supports multiple devices, however it's very clear that THESE two devices are incompatible.
Anyone have any ideas??

Since the iOS7.0.2 update to my iPhone 4S, I can no longer choose use of my Bluetooth device if using the power cord to listen to MUSIC or answer my phone (choice of powercord as 'dock,' speaker, & phone only). Was this former-feature now an oversight?? I'd really appreciate having my Bluetooth once again listed as a choice of audio option. Especially considering the battery life is not what it was prior to this update, and requires recharging often.

Sorry to tell you but unless you have a Retail Apple Store close by, they are the only ones I have found with all the adapters and accessories. I bought an extra lightning to usb adapter the other day to use in my truck. Good luck....

Can I use more than one bluetooth device at a time with my iphone4

Can I use more than one bluetooth device at a time with my iphone4

I have a Plantronics 975 earpiece that works very well with my Razr. I
just got a Panasonic KX-TG7873S phone system for my home, it has a
"Link-to-Cell" cellular convergence solution, from what I understand it is
just Bluetooth enabled. I have paired both device with my Razr. In
settings, Bluetooth setting, both device show. But only one device can
connect at a time. If my Plantronics is connected and I choose the
Panasonic device, the Plantronics device disconnects and the Panasonic
device then says it is connected. Both devices work when they
are connected. Is it because they are both "headsets"?
So, to have to remember to connect to one or the other device, depending on
weather I am coming or going is not practical.

Only one bluetooth paired at a time?

Just about to by an iPhone was looking at the pdf user guide. It seems to say that it can only be paired with one bluetooth device at a time you must unpair to use a different device. My current phone works in my car then with my head set when away from the car. I cant belive iPhone would not allow this to happen. Please advise.

I think it means that it will only connect to one of those at a time, not both. So if you're in your car, turn off your headset; turn it on out of the car. Can your current phone connect to both your headset and your car at the same time?

"Allow this device to wake the computer" option resets

Hello All,
I'm wondering if anyone has come across this. Everytime I disable the Power Management option "Allow this device to wake the computer" click OK, the setting stays, once I reboot the computer, the option is enabled again.
I've checked the BIOS there's no setting for this, other than WOL - which is disabled anyway.
Drivers has been updated
Windows patches are up to date.
Checked the registry to find any option, but I couldn't find any reference of PnPCapabilities
In case you're wondering, the reason I'm trying keep this option turned off is because a lot of my users' laptops turn on in the middle of the night to do windows updates when it is checked on. When I check it off, they're fine.

Hello Jacky ,
Do you mean that after rebooting the computer , the option ‘Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power’ is enabled?
And you are the only one user that affected?
If you are the only user that affected, please refer to the following article to fix the corrupted profile.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/fix-corrupted-user-profile#1TC=windows-7
If you are not the only user that affected, please go to the manufacturer website and update the driver.
Best regards,

'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.

Today, I had to choose only one mail. Really a shame for Blackberry.

I'm a french Blackberry user for many years. Today, on my Torch, I was asking by Blackberry to enter my password.No more mail on my phone... Blocked.
I have a smartphone, a kind of hardware, and I did not know that Blackberry can block my mails !!!
Strange, is'nt it ?
Is it legal ?
OK. I did it.
What a surprise after that !! I had to choose only one mail address... so I have to choose between my mails and my pro planning via Yahoo.... (I bought a small soft fo that)
I bought a Blackberry for security, well built phones and so...
Now, I was asked to choose for a restricted service, decided by Blackberry.
I have no choice, or my mails are blocked...
It's really a shame and not fair.
Of course, no way to reach them directly.
If Blackberry don't move, I will choose others....
To be free today is really a challenge...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you are in the same situation, contact me.
Pour les français, je n'ai pas réussi à avoir une identité qui fonctionne sur le site de Blackberry France...
Pour ceux qui ne comprennent pas bien mon anglais moyen :
Je n'ai plus de mails sur mon torch depuis 16h30 aujourd'hui.
Blackberry m'a demandé d'entrer mon mot de passe....
Ensuite, je n'ai plus eu le choix, sois-disant avec mon abonnement, je n'avais droit qu'à une adresse mail !!!
Cela fonctionnait depuis des mois et je n'avais pas d'abonnement....
Il fallait que je choisisse entre mes mails et mon planning professionnel géré par Yahoo car Blackberry n'a jamais été capable de gérer des passerelles avec Lightning, cf Thunderbird.
Est-ce pour imposer leur softs ? Est-ce pour faire payer plus ???
Dans tous les cas, ils m'empêchent de travailler normalement et le blocage des mails est totalement abusif.
Si vous êtes dans le même cas, n'hésitez pas à poster sur le forum.

Bien à vous,

How do I capture tape-based media to my external hard drive? There is only one firewire 800 port on the back of my I mac. The manual says to import tape footage directly into fcpx, but then I lose my external hard drive. thanks for your help.

In FCP X How do I capture tape-based media (hdv clips)- which I want to import-to my external hard drive? There is only one firewire 800 port on the back of my I mac. The FCPX manual says to import tape footage directly into final cut, which works, but then I lose my external hard drive Do I have to import it into an event, then copy it over to an external hard drive? On Larry Jordan's tutorial, he has 3 external hard drives that show up on his monitor WHILE he imports his tape based media. How is that done? I can only get either the camera to appear OR my external hard drive. thanks for your help.

Thanks for your response, but that doesn't solve the problem. Yes, the LaCie hard drive has 2 firewire ports-
I have always done what you suggest (works fine in FCP7), but in FCPX when I do that the camcorder icon
does not appear. It only shows up when I DIRECTLY import the footage via firewire. ????

180 GB of my 639-GB Macintosh hard drive is used. 320 GB of my 498-GB Tie Capsule is used. Only one backup ("now") exists for the Time Capsule, which can no longer backup because of "insufficient space". How come? What is wrong?"

Thank you William for your most helpful response. I shall deal first with your three comments:
Not being tech savvy, I would not have been able to make that call myself but it sure makes sense.
I have updated my profiles as you suggest. Excellent tip.
This guidance is good. Being new to Apple Support Communities, I did not find the field a labeling and guidance to be clear, a point you make. Now I know, I shall do as you say and will use the small slim box as a header to the full message/question, which will place in the larger box below.
Secondly, I come to your question: Did anything change on your Mac recently, such as replacing the disk or main logic board?
The answer is “yes”. Two events have happened both of which concerned the Time Capsule:
The telephone company, with which I have access to the Internet and I have my email account, installed a new modum. After the technician left I had to try and get the Time Capsule and WiFi working again which ended with my having to call Apple for technical assistance. The Apple technician walked me through a number of procedural steps which effectively re-set up the Time Capsule.
Access to the Internet failed and the telephone company reset the modum. I had to call Apple again. This time the technician did not reset the Time Capsule but walked me through a number of steps tha included renaming the “site” (not the Time Capsule).
Another piece of information that may be relevant is that the MacBook Pro uses the Time Capsule for backup. Everything appears to be in order. When I enter the Time Capsule for this laptop I have backups going back for a long time.
Also, I do a weekly backup of the two computers onto another external hard drive using the Time Machine software. So I have another backup of both computers.

A 6 and a 6 Plus with seperate phone numbers are receiving txts sent to only one number. They share the same iTunes acct. Is this the problem?

Hmm... Just found out the 6 and 6 Plus were updated to 8.1.1 today. Coincidently, that's when this started.
Another thing is both phones ring and you can answer either one, or both. fwding is not selected.
Thanks Kilted Tim.

Why Left and Right Joins if only one of them can serve the same purpose?

I understand that left join is used to display all the records from left table whereas the right join is used to display all the records from right table in a join.
However, if we switch the positions of the join tables and perform left join we can get all the records of the left table.
A left join B -> will give all records from A
A right join B ->will give all records from B
B left join A -> will again give all records from B.
The order in which the data is displayed(ie the field order) can also be maintained in the SELECT clause.
So, Why do we have left and right joins separately in existance, when only one of them can serve the same purpose?

Hi,
I think it's because it is sometime more natural to outer join on left or right.
In your data model (or the query you are writing), there is some kind of hierarchy between tables : I feel more natural to have the table with lowest hierarchical level (the root table) on the left. So I sometimes prefer to right outer join...
This is a very personal feeling, I must admit.
To me what is strange is to have chosen left and right as they refer to a "latin" reading direction => forward join and backward join would be more meaningful for people that read from right to left.
+And I prefer the new joining syntax that doesn't us the {noformat}(+){noformat} sign...+

Am I the only one experiencing battery drain with the 6.1.3 upgrade? It went from 100% to 63% in 7 hours WITH NO USE!

Am I the only one experiencing battery drain with the 6.1.3 upgrade? It went from 100% to 63% in 7 hours WITH NO USE! I've had worse luck with the i5 than the i4. This is the first time I regret being in a two year contract. I might add that this is my 3rd i5

So now 12 days later and another replacement I'm still having issues and apple still isn't helping. My phone has started shutting off unexpectedly again today. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to go from here?

Safari Problems
Safari - Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.
