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.

  • 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.

    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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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 !!!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Restore bluetooth device after removal in bluetoothctl?

    Hi all
    I removed a device in bluetoothctl with "remove <dev>". Now, this device is not visible anymore with the "devices" command in bluetoothctl and I'm not able to pair or connect the device. How can I "restore" the device? The device works perfectly when connecting from another pc.
    Thanks for any help!
    Regards, Michelee

    you should be able to type "connect <dev>" to get it back, otherwise try "scan on" and then hit the "connect" button on your device (assuming it has one)

  • Bluetooth devices lagging after wake from sleep sometimes.

    I have the Apple bluetooth keyboard, magic mouse, and magic trackpad. All batteries are charged and I have tried others by the way. This issue only happens sometimes, as it has happened before, but stopped for a few months, and now happened again tonight. What is happening is that my laptop (macbook late 2009 with  mac os x 10.7.2) wakes from sleep (all default energy saver settings set and I am able to wake the macbook with any of the bluetooth devices), and my bluetooth devices mentioned above are laggy for about 15-45 seconds. What i mean by laggy is that when moving the mouse across the desk after the login screen is already fully loaded, it jumps and is clearly not tracking like it usually does. The bluetooth trackpad and keyboard experience this same issue.
    Now the thing that leads me to believe it's bluetooth or software is that my macbook's built in keyboard and trackpad do not lag and function correctly as soon as the computer is woken from sleep and prompts me with my login screen. This also leads me to assume that it's not my computer running slowly or having too many processes or not enough memory. This problem happens even if I have no programs running (other than OS X's default processes). I have taken my macbook into the Apple genius bar thinking it was a bluetooth hardware issue, but they ran checks and confirmed that it was not and obciously, we could not get the issue to reproduce their at that time. I would love to hear from anyone who has experiecned this before, or is currently. We need to get Apple's attention with this issue because they have not listened to me when I submit a feekback form. This has been happening since 10.7.0 by the way. Thanks and happy holidays.
    macbook 6,1
    8gb memory
    mac os x 10.7.2 (happened on 10.7.0, and 10.7.1)
    -I can wake my macbook with my bluetooth devices
    -My built in macbook keyboard and trackpad do not experience this issue
    -I don't see the "connected symbol" when the computer wake (everything is already connected)
    -All default energy saver preferences set
    -Using apple's rechargeable batteries for all three devices
    -minimal processes running
    -devices function as normal after 15-45 seconds (it's not my desk)

    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.

  • Bluetooth keyboard not working after sleep *windows8* FIX

    Its pretty simple actually.  It might not work for you, but let me know if it does.  Untill bootcamp drivers are updated, I found that disabling the Bluetooth Network adater under Networking And Sharing in the control panel will allow my Keyboard to function again after waking up.  If you find that your keyboard is still paired, but not responding when your Windows 8 install wakes up after sleep, this might fix the problem for now. 
    If you have a notebook, I read on another forum that if you enable Bluetooth Collaboration under the device settings in Device Manager, you can fix this issue also.  Google for it if your interested. 

    I've noticed on mine that if it is coming out of Ssafe Sleep (you can see the progress bar at the bottom of the screen if it is) then the keyboard does take a bit to active.
    This may not be your problem however just be sure you've been patient enough after waking.

  • Bluetooth mouse disconnects after sleep in W540, Windows 8.1

    I have paired a bluetooth mouse and it works fine - until computer has been in sleep. After sleep the mouse does not work until I go into settings - Change PC Settings - PC and Devices - Bluetooth. I do not have to do anything, it just connects when "Manage Bluetooth Devices" opens.
    I have looked into forum and swithed off the "allow the computer to turn off device to save power" in device manager for device Intel Wireless Bluetooth 4.0 + HS adapter. No effect.
    I have Windows 8.1. The mouse worked fine in my older HP laptop with Windows 7.1

    Problem Description:
    Yesterday I updated my laptop's BIOS to F 5A - latest available on HP Website. Since then I have lost the bluetooth functionality, which was wroking just fine prior to the update. Now the system doesn't find a bluetooth device.
    What I have already done:
    1. Switched back to previous versions of BIOS (available on HP Website coz I didn't note the BIOS version before I updated it). - That didn't work.
    2. Reseated the wireless card - Didn't work.
    3. Manually checked the connection of bluetooth module to the motherboard - Connection was fine but it still didn't work.
    4. Uninstalled the bluetooth driver and reinstalled it (HP integrated module WIDCOM) - still didn't work
    5. Installed HP Wireless Agent - Didn't work
    6. Installed HP Integrated module driver along with HP Wireless Agent - Didn't work
    7. Installed Ubuntu to check if its recognizing the device - Even its not recognizing the device which it used to do earlier.
    8. Sadly there's no BIOS setting in Setup which I can change to correct the bluetooth behaviour (Phoenix BIOS with limited interface).
    After all the research, I am posting this because I am unable to find a sloution to this problem on my own. I request the members to please help.
    Uday

    I got the bluetooth working. Had to dismantle the laptop and found that a small switch was loose.
