DMA2100 won't reconnect to VMC

Just got a DMA2100. Set it up as an extender, all worked fine(ish)!
Tried it next morning...get "Waiting for PC...." then eventually times out. I can ping the extender from the Media Center PC so it appears the extender is connecting to the network OK.
Only way to get it working again is to go through the setup again and it operates OK until I try it again the next day.
No firewalls in my network and have installed latest firmware on the extender. No messages logged in event viewer on the PC after powering on the extender on the PC which makes me think the extender is having trouble finding the PC for some reason.
Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The problem you experienced is often caused by firewall on the VMC. Most firewalls would re-enable every after reboot and that's why sometimes it would block the communication to the DMA. Assuming you really don't have a firewall, you can try removing the extender from the Media Center application and re-setup it all again.
Now, if it still doesn't help you can try checking the Event Viewer on your computer then go to Applications and Services Local. Click on Media Center and check for Errors then record the Event ID. You can then go to the link below to check what the Event ID means so you can determine what's causing the communication problem.

Bluetooth disconnected on my iPhone but it will connect on my husbands. I have been using this bluetooth for a year and now it won't reconnect

My bluetooth disconnected from my iphone 3. I have been using it for months. I checked the bluetooth and it connected on my husand's iphone4 but won't reconnect on my phone.

Try doing this:
Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Network Connections
Phone will reboot, you will have to enter your WiFi Passwords again - BUT should resolve the problem.

You'll need to erase the drive by booting up holding command-option-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
Use Disk Utility to erase the disk and then Internet Recovery. That will take a while.

Merged clips won't reconnect

I have a film project that was shot with with seperate sound. I have gone in and make subclips of all takes in the film transfer and aif audio file. I have then merged each clip using IN points and made a cut using them. yesterday I exported the whole project as an xml and passed the project to another editor. Importing that xml give me what look like the proper clips but the merged clips won't reconnect to the audio properly. And it also looks like all the 'merged' clips have changed from their original lengths (12 secs, 30 secs) to long durations of 48 minutes, 1:09:00... the full lengths of my master clips. Something has gone awry with these merged clips. Can't find much in the archives... anyone seen and fixed any issues with reconnecting merged clips?

I have search message boards far and wide to find this answer.. the only thing I've found thus far is one user who had this happen said the metadata of his audio clips became corrupted.

My MacBook Pro won't reconnect to my Wi-FI automatically after waking from sleep mode

Hello, everyone. Since I updated to Yosemite, my MacBook Pro won't reconnect to my Wi-FI automatically after waking from sleep mode.
Does anyone know how to fix that?
Thanks in advance,
Arthur.

Hi, arthurpacifico.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are a couple troubleshooting steps that I would recommend trying to see if it corrects this issue.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Reset your computer’s PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
If the issue persists, try the troubleshooting steps I have attached below.
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.Restart your computer.
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.
Join your Wi-Fi network. You will need to enter your password for your network again if it requires one.

MBP won't reconnect to Airport

My friend has a 17" MacBook Pro (pre-unibody) that won't reconnect to her Airport wifi network. It connects OK, but if the computer goes to sleep or is restarted, it won't reconnect automatically. It will reconnect if you do it manually.
How can I fix her problem? Is this a matter of deleting preferences, or is it more involved?
Thanks!
Dan

I have the same problem on my 15" pre-unibody MBP. It's been an issue for almost two years now and I have yet to find a solution. I found the below posting in the archives (posted Nov 2007) and have seen similar suggestions in the past. It has not worked for me, but I include it in case it works for you.
Notice near the end it says "simply turning Airport off and back on again (using the indicator in the menu bar) should suffice to get you connected again." Well, yeah...that's the issue I'm trying to correct. Having to turn airport off and then turn it on every time I wake from sleep is getting old.
Does anyone else know if this issue can be resolved a different way?

I've seen this problem with several different accounts now.
I now have a procedure which appears to fix it, but I'm not sure it is the minimal procedure. Folks who try this may find they can eliminate one or more steps and still get the good result.
Symptom: Airport won't reconnect to a known network, and turning Airport off and then back on again does NOT make the connection to the known network happen.
Solution: Do the following steps in order
Turn off Airport
Go to System Preferences / Network. Click on the lock and authenticate with an administrator password if necessary.
Select Airport in the column on the left.
CLEAR the check box for "Ask to join new networks"
Click on Advanced.
CLEAR the check box for "Remember any network this computer has joined"
Click on the known network in the list if it is already in there. Click on "-" to delete it from the list.
Click OK to exit the Advanced pane. Click Apply in the main Network pane to make these changes take effect.
Now turn on Airport. The network will not be selected of course since it is no longer "known".
Click on the Airport indicator in the Menu Bar to open the drop down menu.
Click on "Join Other Network". Do this EVEN IF the network you wish to join is not "closed, i.e., is already showing in the list.
In the dialogue panel, enter the name of the network, the type of password, and the password itself. Also VERY IMPORTANT click to check the box to "Remember This Network". Connection should now be established.
Return to the System Preferences / Network pane. Click on Advanced again and confirm that this network is once again in the list. Click on Cancel to return back to the main Network pane without making any changes.
Click on Assist Me. Click on Diagnostics.
Even though the early test will likely say that everything is fine, click Continue to go through the rest of the tests ANYWAY. The Airport network you are connected to should show up in the list when you are asked to choose which network to join. Click on it. If it is not in the list for some reason, select Other and type in its name.
You should now be presented with a panel asking you to AGAIN enter the password for this network. Do so. And VERY IMPORTANT click to check the box to remember this password in the keychain.
Diagnostics should now complete and tell you everything is fine.
At this point, your account should now reliably and automatically rejoin this network either on restart or on waking from sleep. If the system ever misses the network on restart or waking due to weak signal or some transmission timing glitch on startup, simply turning Airport off and back on again (using the indicator in the menu bar) should suffice to get you connected again. This procedure for remembering the network should work with both open (visible names) and closed (non-visible names) networks.
Presumably there is something going on in this procedure that causes the key bits of information to be saved in the right places.
It SHOULD be easier than this of course. But at least this seems to work until Apple sorts this out.
Please note that this appears to be a PER-ACCOUNT problem. I.e., you will likely need to fix this in EACH account that's having trouble remembering the network and re-connecting automatically.

I have the new iOS 6.1.2 on my iPad. My wifi connects to my home network but keeps dropping it and won't reconnect. Did not have this problem with previous iOS.

I have the new iOS 6.1.2 on my iPad. My wifi connects to my home network but keeps dropping it and won't reconnect. Did not have this problem with previous iOS. Apple, you have a quality assurance issue. Don't be like Microsoft where they send out pieces of junk with testing it.

Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

TS4429 iphone loses service and won't reconnect since installing IOS 7

if my iphone 5 goes into an area of poor network connection and it 'drops' service (or shows 5 empty circles), when I move back into an area where coverage is better it won't reconnect unless I turn the phone off and on. Have tried switching airplane on and off and resetting network settings to no avail. Only started doing this since the upgrade to IOS 7. Any ideas?

My iPhone5 won't reconnect to my Subaru Forester Bluetooth radio. I have to go and delete the iphone from the radio and pair the phone and radio everytime. I never had this issue with my samsung

I have a 2012 Subaru Forester and when I get in, my iPhone5 won't connect to my Bluetooth radio. I have my Bluetooth radio knows about the phone, but the iPhone5 just won't connect. I have to go and delete the iPhone5 from the radio memory and then pair the radio & the iPhone5 again, then it connects and works great until I shut off the car. Then when I get back in or restart the car I have to go through this all over again. Anybody got any ideas? It is driving me crazy and i just got my iPhone5 a week ago. Now I am not a real iPhone Savvy user, so it may just be something I have not set properly. So can some one Help? Please!

My Subaru Forester 2012 wouldn't reconnect automatically to my new phone.
It did my head in for months.
Thanks guys, because of you, I worked this out. My Forester needed the "handsfree" setup, not just a Bluetooth pairing. Reading your posts, suggesting to setup the phone through the steering wheel buttons worked.
But only to initiate the hansfree component.
From turning car accessories on - Pressing "off hook" button on the wheel, initiates the "handsfree" setup. Because I'd done this originally, my old phone was in here. Deleted it using the tune dial (no voice commands) and deleted pairing on iPhone 4.
Turned car off, and back on again, pressed "off hook" and using tune dial, recorded new phone profile name, and paired the phone. Now it auto connects everytime I get in the car
Woohoo.

Bluetooth mouse won't reconnect when switched on

I have a 2.4GHz Mac Min (last model before being replaced by the model without DVD drive) and a Mac USB keyboard. I wanted to use a Bluetooth mouse as I don't like the trailing lead with a USB mouse, but I wanted a conventional three button type mouse as I need that for my RISC OS emulator program, so I bought a Logitech V470 Bluetooth mouse. I set it up in Bluetooth preferences with no problem and set it as a favourite. It then worked very well and was comfortable, smooth and accurate. The problem comes after I have turned it off, either when I am not going to be using the computer for a period of time, or at night, obviously to save batteries. When I switch the mouse back on, the computer and mouse simply will not reconnect. The only way I can get the mouse to reconnect is to plug in a USB mouse, delete the original device pairing, and set-up a new device again; or power the computer off and restart it. Sometimes restarting the computer doesn't work as a dialogue box will open over the password screen saying it can't find any mouse, then it finds it and shows the correct Mac Address of the mouse but even clicking any of the buttons on the mouse it still won't actually control the mouse pointer!
I have another Bluetooth mouse, a Microsoft 5000, which I use with my MacBook Pro so I tried that with the Mac Mini and once paired it works fine, *including* after being turned off, reconnecting within a second of being turned back on. So I asumed it was something to do with the Logitech mouse rather than the Mac Mini, and contacted Logitech. As it was a new mouse they suggested it was faulty and I have been sent a new one. However this one is the same and in one respect actually worse. Once paired it works fine just like the original, but once it has been switched off, again it will not reconnect when switch on. But with this one, even closing down the computer and restarting it won't connect the mouse. The only way with this one is to delete the pairing and set-up a new pairing again. That means whenever the computer or mouse are turned off, you have to connect a USB mouse so that you can get back in, delete the pairing and set-up a new pairing again, which is unacceptable.
However, if I boot the Mac Mini into Windows XP using bootcamp the Logitech mouse works as you would expect in all ways *including* reconnecting immediately after being turned on, if it has been turned off. Also I tried this mouse with a 2006 iBook G4 1.42GHz OS X 10.4.11 and again it functions correctly including reconnecting immediately it is switched back on. So these last two tests appear to show a fault with the Bluetooth firmware in Mac OS X on the new Mac Mini not a fault with the Logitech mice. After all, it is using the same Bluetooth and aerial whether in Mac OS X or Windows but it will only reconnect when in Windows. As a final test I set the MacBook Pro up for Windows 7 using bootcamp and again the mouse will not reconnect in Mac OS X on the MacBook Pro but it reconnects fine in Windows 7 on the same hardware.
Is there an answer to this problem? Do you agree it is a firmware/software fault? Does Apple know about it and are they going to do anything to correct the problem? Thanks. Roy

Yes, I do notice that connection can be lost sometimes and regaining it can be difficult. I have even had to go to the point of finding an old USB mouse to get it going again. I usually try turning off the switch on the mouse and then back on. Then I click it about 5 times or so, usually it picks it up again. Same thing with keyboard. Not sure if that helps at all. Good luck.

Move computer Internet disconnects and won't reconnect.

My internet works fine if I keep my computer in one place, but the second I move it even an inch to the left or right the internet disconnects and airport shows i'm not connected to any wireless networks and won't let me turn airport back on. The only way for me to get back on the internet is to restart my computer. Also if my computer is in one place and i want to move to another room i have to turn the airport off, move to the other room, then turn airport on to reconnect to the network. If i just pick up the computer and walk to the other room the internet stops working and i have to restart my computer. Any way I can fix this or is this a hardware issue?

Having exactly the same problem on my 15inch 2011 Macbook after also going from 10.6.8 to Mavericks. Wifi is totally unresponsive and I can only get the internet working through an ethernet cable. Been looking for a fix for about a week now. Nothing i've seen suggested in the forums seems to work.
Really need to get this working again, as I rely on Wifi to use my mb at work.

Won't reconnect media

Hi There,
I went to open a project that has been sitting for a couple weeks and when I opened it, all of the media files could not be found. These files have not be moved, renamed copied or altered in any way. When I go to reconnect the media, it finds the file, lets me click on it, but then when I hit reconnect, nothing happens- no error messages, the window doesn't close, nothing. I can keel hitting located and choosing the correct file and nothing happens. Any idea what could cause this and how I might be able to get the files back. There is a good 50 hours in there.
I'm running a quad with the latest version of final cut studio. The files are located on an external firewire drive. I have already tried trashing the preferences with no luck.
Thanks
Patrick

I think it won't work unless you can recapture exactly the same footage... You need 3 seconds of footage before a capture can start and 3 seconds past the end of the original capture. Log it first. Don't use Capture now... it just leads to problems like you're having.
But you could recapture as much as you can, then simply re edit over the old shots in the timeline using the timecode of the clips in the timeline. It will be the same as the new captures. You can turn on the old TC in an overlay in the Canvas window (show Timecode Overlays) accessed from the oval button in the Canvas in the upper area. Click on the far right of the three... Then navigate to the same timecode on the new captures from the same tape. Hopefully you did record which tape the captures came from... right??? if not... it's gonna be harder.
Use "replace edit" as the edit command putting the playhead in the viewer on the same timecode that the canvas reports.
You can select a clip in the sequence and type cmd+9 to open it's properties if that helps locate tape numbers.

My Mac wireless keyboard and mouse won't reconnect

My Mac wireless keyboard and and mouse one day disconnected and I can't reconnect. They have new batteries.

Hi Saint Anne,
Happy Thanksgiving Day! Since both of your wireless input devices are not working at the moment, do you have a wired mouse you can use to straighten this out? Here are some troubleshooting steps to try:
Wireless Connection issue
Make sure Bluetooth is turned on
First, choose Apple () menu > System Preferences > Bluetooth and confirm that Bluetooth is turned ON.
The Bluetooth menu bar icon should turn:
Black if Bluetooth is turned ON and no devices are connected.
Light grey with three dots if Bluetooth is ON and at least one wireless device is connected.
Light grey (or disappear completely) if Bluetooth is turned OFF, or if the iMac is unable to communicate with the Bluetooth module.
Refer to the Bluetooth Menu Icon table below for more information on determining the Bluetooth status. If the Bluetooth icon does not appear, or if the menu bar status continues to indicate that Bluetooth is off, restart your computer and then attempt to turn Bluetooth ON again.
Bluetooth OFF
Bluetooth ON and connected to wireless device
Bluetooth menu icon
Bluetooth status
Bluetooth turned on, but there are no devices connected to the Mac. See the "Make sure the wireless mouse or keyboard is turned on" section of this article.
Bluetooth turned on and at least one wireless device is connected. See the "Make sure the wireless mouse or keyboard is turned on" section of this article.
When this icon flashes, at least one wireless device has a low battery. Click the Bluetooth icon to identify the affected device, then replace the batteries.
Bluetooth is off. Click the Bluetooth icon using a USB mouse and select "Turn Bluetooth On". Note: Mac OS X won’t allow Bluetooth to be turned off unless a USB mouse is connected.
Bluetooth offline. Restart your Mac. If the Bluetooth status doesn’t change, disconnect all USB devices and restart your Mac again.
Make sure the wireless mouse and keyboard are turned on.
Mouse
Slide the On/Off switch on the bottom of your mouse to turn it on. Note: If the battery compartment cover is not installed properly the On/Off switch may not function correctly or may be difficult to operate. Remove the battery compartment cover and carefully reinstall it.
When your mouse is on and paired, and the batteries are charged, the indicator light glows steadily.
If your mouse isn’t paired with a Mac, the indicator light will blink, indicating your mouse is in discovery mode and ready to pair.
If the indicator light doesn't illuminate, check to make sure you have two good batteries and that they're installed correctly.
Keyboard
Push and release the On/Off switch to turn on the Apple Wireless Keyboard.
When your keyboard is on and paired, and the batteries are charged, the light will glow steadily for several seconds, then turn off.
If your wireless keyboard isn’t paired with your Mac, the indicator light will begin to blink. This indicates your keyboard is in discovery mode and ready to pair with your Mac.
If the LED doesn't light up, remove the batteries to make sure they're good and that they're installed correctly.
Check preferences
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences, then choose Bluetooth from the View menu. The Bluetooth preferences pane will list the Bluetooth devices paired with the computer, the status of the devices (paired or connected), and whether Bluetooth power is on or not.
Click the gear icon and choose "Connect" to connect a device that is powered on.
To set up a new device, click the + icon and follow the Bluetooth setup assistant.
If the Mouse System Preferences pane is open and no wired or wireless mouse is connected, your Mac will immediately start looking for a wireless mouse (with Mac OS X v10.6. For Mac OS X v10.5, the Setup Assistant should open).
Keyboard or mouse intermittently stops responding
Click the mouse
Click the mouse once to reconnect it with your Mac. It may take a moment for the mouse to respond.
Check the battery level of the mouse. Choose System Preferences from the Apple (), then choose Mouse from the View menu. The battery level indicator is in the lower-left corner. Replace the batteries if they are low. Note: Choose Keyboard & Mouse from the View menu with Mac OS X v10.5. For more information on keyboard and mouse battery levels in Mac OS X v10.5, see Desktop computers: Troubleshooting wireless keyboard and mouse issues.
Press a key on the keyboard
Press a key on the keyboard to reconnect it with your Mac. It may take a moment for the keyboard to respond.
Check the battery level of the keyboard. Choose System Preferences from the Apple (), then choose Keyboard from the View menu and select the Keyboard tab. The battery level indicator is in the lower-left corner. Replace the batteries if they are low.
Check for signal interference
Wireless networks that operate on 2.4GHz may cause interference.
Move cordless phone base stations, microwave ovens, and other 2.4GHz electrical devices away from the Mac if you suspect interference.
Keep wireless devices within 10 meters (33 feet) of the Mac.
Avoid putting metal objects between the device and the Mac.
Mouse doesn't scroll up or down or side to side
For mice that have a scroll ball, refer to How to clean your Mighty Mouse.
Check the Scrolling speed slide-control at the top, and make sure the “Scroll” checkbox is checked.
For scrolling side-to-side, make sure the application you’re using supports side-to-side scrolling.
Remember, scrolling is done with one finger, and navigating is done by swiping side-to-side with two fingers.
Navigating moves from page to page in a document or internet browser unlike scrolling.
Mouse does not track as expected (jittery, jumpy, slow, fast).
The Apple Wireless Mouse can be used on most smooth surfaces, however if tracking issues occur try these options:
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Mouse from the View menu. Set the Tracking slider to adjust how fast the pointer moves as you move the mouse.
Try using a different surface to see if the tracking improves.
Turn the mouse over and inspect the sensor window. Use compressed air to gently clean the sensor window if dust or debris is present.
If multiple Bluetooth wireless devices are in use nearby, try turning them off one at a time to see if the issue improves. Bandwidth intensive devices could affect tracking.
Mouse buttons do not work as expected.
The Mouse preference pane allows users to customize the mouse features to meet their needs.
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Mouse from the View menu. Set the Tracking slider to adjust how fast the pointer moves as you move the mouse.
Try using a different surface to see if the tracking improves.
Turn the mouse over and inspect the sensor window. Use compressed air to gently clean the sensor window if dust or debris is present.
If multiple Bluetooth wireless devices are in use nearby, try turning them off one at a time to see if the issue improves. Bandwidth intensive devices could affect tracking.
Keyboard has one or more keys that do not respond.
Use the Keyboard Viewer to test whether the keyboard keys are responding correctly when they are pressed.
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Language & Textfrom the View menu (or International from the View menu in Mac OS X v10.5 or earlier).
Select Input Sources.
Select the Keyboard & Character Viewer checkbox.
Enable the input source for the keyboard layout you are testing by selecting the checkbox next to it.
Make sure that "Show Input menu in menu bar" is enabled.
Choose Show Keyboard Viewer from the Input menu in the menu bar, as shown.
The Keyboard Viewer shows the keyboard layout.
Type the key on the keyboard that doesn’t respond and observe whether the corresponding key highlights on the Keyboard Viewer. If it does, that particular key is functioning correctly. In the sample shown above the shift and command keys are being pressed.
If the mouse keys feature in the Universal Access System Preferences pane is enabled, many of the keyboard keys may not respond as expected.
Try starting up into single user mode to determine whether a software issue is causing the issue.
Cheers,
Judy

Brand new iPod Touch 4G won't reconnect to WPA Enterpise wifi network

I have a brand new iPod Touch 4G. Wifi connection at home, where I have a WPA2 "personal" network, works great. However, at the office, I have a WPA/WPA2 Enterprise network. The network is not hidden, but the only way I can connect to it is via the "Other..." option, because I need to specify WPA Enterprise. This means I need to type in the network name, my userid, and my password to connect to it.
The problem is that after being asleep for about 15 minutes, the iPod is not able to reconnect to the network. When the iPod awakes, it does not automatically connect to the network. When I go to the Wi-Fi Networks setting, I can see the network name in the list. If I click on it, my iPod says, "Unable to hoin the network xxxxx". If I click on the (>) next to the name, I'm given the option to forget the network, which means that the iPod remembers the network, but somehow it can't connect to it. My option is to "forget" the network and re-establish it by hand. Obviously, this is not acceptable.

I know WEP is bad, but the other thread implies that some iPods/iPhones running iOS 5.01 show WEP Enterprise as an option. It seems to me that my iPod has a different wifi chip in it, which is why it's broken, even though my iPad running 5.01 works. Maybe the new wifi chip does not support WEP Enterprise? It does offer regular WEP though, so I'm still confused.

Magic Mouse won't reconnect after Lion upgrade

Okay, I'll lay this out as quickly and consisely as possible.
I've searched every post and site I can find and tried everything suggested, and still no luck.
I have Mac Pro with an external bluetooth dongle, Magic Mouse, and I have just upgraded to OSX 10.7 Lion.
My Magic Mouse has always reconnected flawlessly to my machine after booting or waking, but after upgrading to Lion, it refuses to re-pair after booting or waking. In bluetooth preferences, I can see in the Devices pane that "Steven's Mouse" is disconnected, but every couple of seconds this will flash green and show "Connected" - but only for a half second - and then it's back to "Not Connected".
I've set BT setup assistant to open on startup, and only when I have manually deleted and re-paired my Magic Mouse using the keyboard does the Magic Mouse connect.
Then sleep and wake and I'm back to square one.
I have:
Restarted after trashing every bluetooth .plist file (~/Library/Preferences and also HD/Library/Preferences) - and bluetooth drivers
Sone several SMC Resets
Zapped my PRAM
Made my mouse a 'Favorite'
Deleted and re-paired it more times than I can count
Turned the mouse on and off
Clicked it
Double-clicked it
Kept clicking it
Turned it on and off
Triple-checked the batteries
Tested my mouse with another machine running SL
Tested another mouse with my machine
- All with no luck whatsoever. I'm about down to writing a suicide note or something!!!
Any help would be appreciated.
Steven
(BTW I'm 100% sure the issue is within the Lion system somewhere - not my hardware.

Hi, I had the same problem but it's fixed now. It seems that the order you turn mouse and bluetooth off and on makes the difference. This is what worked on my macbook pro (eventually!):
turn off bluetooth and mouse. Turn on bluetooth. Open system preferences. Open mouse. It starts searching. then Turn on mouse. Hey presto! (and much to my surprise) it found it.
It also worked if I left the mouse on, and turned it off and on after opening the mouse in system preferences and it had started searching. But if, for example, I turned on the mouse before opening system preferences,it was no go.
There is another issue: I (like I suspect a lot of people) switch between lion and snow leopard (Macbook Pro and Mac Mini respectively), and every time it has to be paired manually. I have found I have to use the entire process shown above with both OSs.
Also, the mouse has to be paired to Lion at every startup. I never have to re-pair the mouse with Snow leopard on startup (unless it's been paired to Lion in the meantime!).
I hope that some of this might help someone, even just a little.
