Disconnect Bluetooth Device After Period of Inactivity

I have connected a bluetooth device successfully, and it remains paired through power cycles. I'm attempting to now get the device to disconnect after a certain period of inactivity. The device is a ps3 controller, if that matters.
Any advice?

Sorry,

I guess I could also solve the problem by attaching the WIRELESS printer with a cable to the router, but HP is selling thise products as wireless, so why should I have to do that?

I keep losing my wireless connection after periods of inactivity - any solution? I recently installed a new wireless router with improved range.

I recently installed a Netgear Wireless router for improved reception, but now my macbook loses connection through Airport after periods of inactivity. We have another older Macbook in the house, and it never loses connection. I never had this problem with the previous Linksys router, just limited range. Any ideas what is causing this? It's frustrating to have to frequently shout down and re-boot. That so far is the only way I can re-connect.

Adjust the Wireless Settings on your linksys router...
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab on the Setup page- Here Wireless Network mode should be mixed- Provide any non linksys network name ....
Name (SSID) box- Set wireless channel to 11- And wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on "Save Settings" >>
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.
Click on Advanced Wireless settings>>
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings" ...
Try to look for the Wireless Network on your laptop and attempt to connect...

MacBook Pro shuts down after periods of inactivity

I had a 6-year old MacBook Pro. Besides just being a bit old and tired it would attempt to shut down after periods of inactivity. I tried setting it to never sleep. I tried the whole reset thing where you take the battery out and hold the power button for 5 seconds. I bought new memory for it. Eventually I used it as an excuse to buy a new machine.
Of course I copied my image over to the new MacBook. Now I know its not a hardware issue because it still happens!
I also have other quirky issues (probably not related, but who knows).
I just cannot get my remote (or any apple remote to work).
I have an empty folder that I can't delete–it crashes the system.
Aperature hangs up all the time
VMware hangs up all the time
Firefox and Chrome both hang up
Sometimes I have to force quit Mail
Is this a good time to do a clean install?

Resetting the SMC doesn't seem to have done anything. The progress bar hasn't reached the end to shut down yet, but so far, it's displaying the same behavior.

Audio problem after disconnecting bluetooth device

Hi All,
I tried to setup a bluetooth headset with my computer a while back and have since abandoned that idea (which i'm okay with).
Now though, my iChat won't send the audio to the computer's speakers.
What setting do i need to change to get this working again?
I've:
- deleted the bluetooth headset from my bluetooth devices
- tried to make sure the settings for AIM and iChat in my sound preferences were set to built in. My AIM setting is 'custom' and i don't seem to be able to change it.
- checked iChat prefs for any setting that could control this. I saw a posting on the web that indicates an output drop box in the AV prefs but i don't have that (and i don't have a camera hooked up to my machine.
Anyone have any advice for me?

I'm not sure what you mean when you say that iChat won't send the audio to the computer's speakers. What audio?
Things to try:
1) Zap the parameter RAM by holding down the Command-Option-p-r keys (four keys) at startup until you hear the startup chime ring three times.
2) If you're using the built-in speakers, try using external speakers or a USB headset.

Applications closing after period of inactivity

My applications are closing after a period of inactivity. I would appreciate any help. I'm on a 27inch iMac late 2013 running 10.10.1.
If application is idol for some time it can close on me. Skype closes often. Adobe products and mamp will close periodically as well. This really interrupts my work flow. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello neverask333,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like multiple programs close on their own. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Set auto shut down for iPod touch after period of inactivity

I keep falling asleep with my iPod on. My old MP3 player had a setting where it automatically shutdown after a specified period of inactivity. Is there a download or setting of some sort that will make the ipod touch do the same?

I can't try it out for you now and don't know if it's on 2.x, but read p. 32 of the IPT manual under Sleep Timer. The option is under the Clock -> Timer on the Home menu. If the feature is still there...
Here's a link to the online manual:

Run script after period of inactivity

I'd like to run an apple script after a certain period of inactivity (say 10 minutes). is there a way to do that?

Sample code:
property iRun : 0 -- Global variable (retains latest value between applet executions).
on run
set iRun to 0 -- Clears global variable.
say "Working" -- Optional, your code here.
end run
on idle {}
if (iRun > 0) then -- Do not execute code immediately, instead wait until after delay time.
say "Processing" -- Your code here.
end if
if (iRun = 1) then quit -- Optional code, to quit after processing use code, after a single delay period.
set iRun to 1 -- Needed to guarantee that code is processed after delay period.
return (60 * 10) -- Where '10' indicates 10 minutes.
end idle

X230 with windows 7 still won't connect to any bluetooth devices after many attempted solutions

My starting point:
I have 6 month old x230 with windows 7, all windows and lenovo updates already completed. The bluetooth logo exists on the bottom of screen but when I try to "add device" it doesn't recognize any bluetooth devices. I've tried this with speakers from 3 different companies. I have updated the bluetooth drivers, the windows and lenovo programs say "device is working properly". Nothing wierd in device manager. I have microsoft bluetooth enumerator and thinkpad bluetooth 4.0. One time for about 30 minutes it worked on a ECOXGEAR bluetooth speaker but then also stopped.
Since then:
I enabled settings in BT control panel, BT is enabled in BIOS, BT wireless on, have tried to rollback driver to previous versions of BT but not possible, devices still do not show up in Add new device window.
Latest update:
I have uninstalled the lenovo bluetooth software following a suggestion and now my laptop no longer has bluetooth capacity at all - it seems when uninstallig the lenovo bluetooth sw the microsoft sw uninstalls as well.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Seems BT audio profiles your speakers need are absent in the sw installed on the laptop. Try BlueSoleli or Toshiba BT drivers, both of them might have needed audio profiles. Toshiba stack seems a bit better quality but needs some tweaks for installation.

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.

Sun Rays with VDI 3.1 - Black screen after periods of inactivity

Running VDI 3.1 with bundled versions of SRSS on three servers in a cluster running Solaris 10 with VSphere as a desktop provider - also using meta-kiosk with all smartcards configured to run "VDA" script when inserted, DTUs require registered cards.
Bit of a strange issue that is unfortunately not always reproducible:
After what seems a random period after having removed a smartcard from a DTU (if still logged into a Windows session, or after disconnecting it) sometimes as short as 20mins, sometimes only after overnight, upon reinserting the card, the VDI login screen does not always appear immediately (as should happen), but instead a black screen with a moveable mouse pointer is shown. This persists for almost exactly 2 minutes whenever it happens, then the VDI screen appears. If you manually kill the session from the admin web-interface and power-cycle the Sun Ray, it will pop up immediately as expected.
At times, the VDI screen does simply appear immediately as expected, at others this 2-minute black screen first...
You can often force the behaviour on a working VDI login screen by choosing "More options - Quit" - this will often trigger the black screen/2 minute delay. At other times quitting in this manner does not reproduce the error and the VDI login screen appears immediately.
I've researched this for a couple of weeks, and a lot of bugs mentioning "black screens" pointed towards problems with uttsc-bin - I've already applied the patch here: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-143215-03-1 to no avail.
I assume that it possibly is nothing to do with the Windows connector, since it's really the VDI login screen that is not appearing in a timely manner and Windows logins/sessions always start/resume immediately after logging in from the VDI screen.
Can anyone offer any help?

Never figured out what was causing this, but an upgrade to VDI 3.2 has fixed it (for now at least!)

Tour will not turn back on after period of inactivity

Hello,
My Tour will not turn on after about 2 weeks of inactivity. The battery was stored in it at appx 40% (I realize this was probably a mistake...).
When plugged into the charger, the red light goes on for appx 10 secs, then turns off (whether battery is in or out).
Several battery pulls have not made a difference.
Phone has been plugged in for over an hour now, with no result.
Tried putting the battery in with the phone plugged/unplugged.
Plugging phone into PC USB tries to install the drivers (so it's def not fried)
Thank you in advance for ANY help
Wesley

Yes I was going to suggest the same thing. Either place a friend's in your device or take it into your carrier's store to see if another battery does the trick

My iPhone5 does not discover new bluetooth devices after upgrading to ios7.02

After I upgraded to ios7,02, my iphone5 connects only to one previous device only, my VW phone. It did not connect to my Logitec headset, nor other devices.
I tried forgetting both the devices, recycled power when iphone was in discovery mode.The iPhone5 still does not discover them.Is this a bug in 7.02 ?
Verified that all my devices are connecting fine with other phones.
Do any of you have the same problem ? Help !!!

Hey ravi1462,
Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far! In regards to bluetooth connections, you may find the following troubleshooting information helpful:

WiFi is always disabled after period of inactivity

When my ZTE One (orange) sits idle for a while, WiFi is always disabled when I wake up the phone. I re-enable WiFi & everything is fine, but I shouldn't have to do that each time.

Hi!
If the signal strength is not powerful enough to receive a connection for a period of time the Wi-Fi will disconnect and eventually disable itself. <br> Although, if there is a Wi-Fi network recognized but the phone is inactive the phone will disconnect and this is to save you battery power, but once you wake the phone, the phone should automatically connect back to Wi-Fi if the network is in range and if the signal is good.
Should you have any more questions regarding this, please feel free to ask.
Thanks!

IPad unable to recognize bluetooth device after "forgetting" device.

I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser PXC310 BT wireless bluetooth headphones to use with my iPad. It worked fine until one day a friend pressed the "forget device" option in the iPad's bluetooth menu. Since then the iPad is unable to recognize headphone's bluetooth signal, even though the headphone's bluetooth is turned on. Can somebody please help me reconnect the device? Also restarting has NOT helped. Thanks a lot!

So it turns out that infact this is not an Apple issue, it was a Sennheiser issue. The headphones needed to be reset. http://www.sennheiser.co.uk/sennheiser/products.nsf/resources/DD29E4FD02028BB9C1 257611003F55A9/$File/PXC_310_BT_US.pdf#page21 This helps.
