Mouse loses Bluetooth connection when left idle

I am suddenly having an issue where the bluetooth mouse which works off the preinstalled Toshiba bluetooth stack,
loses its connection when left idle for a little while.
This was not happening before.
What could cause this?
I just changed the batteries in the mouse so that is not the issue.
Any ideas?

That doesn't matter. If you can get a newer version for your band then use it.
If not, install the Toshiba one and see if it works. Afterwards install your old one again,
but ensure during the uninstallation that you do not remove the old Bluetooth setup configurations (The uninstaller asks for it).
In this case the newer driver remain on your system. Maybe it solves your problem.

Wireless Mighty Mouse loses Bluetooth Connection

Our new iMac arrived today and works fine except for the wireless mouse which loses the Bluetooth connection frequently, especially when the mouse is "Turned off" and then turned back on (every time?). Has Apple acknowledged this problem? It appears that there are many (all?) systems failing this way. Numerous boards are reporting similar unreliability of the Bluetooth system. I tried re-seating the batteries and checked all the software settings that might make sense. I read the manual 3 times. Only turning Bluetooth off and then back on seems to relieve the problem, but only temporarily until intentionally turning the mouse off. The connection was first lost in the midst of normal mousing activities. We discovered the relationship to the on-off switch while investigating the first lost Bluetooth connection. I now have a wired mouse connected to recover the lost Bluetooth connection each time it is lost. Help!!!

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Try deleting this file. com.apple.bluetooth.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your iMac.
*"especially when the mouse is "Turned off"*
That definitely break the Bluetooth connection.
Sometimes you need to remove the mouse from the System Preferences/Bluetooth Device window and "re-pair" the mouse using the Bluetooth Setup Assistant.
To set up a Bluetooth device to work with your computer:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and then click Bluetooth.
Open Bluetooth preferences
Click Add +
Choose the type of device you want to set up and follow the onscreen instructions.

PlayBook loses Bluetooth connection when out of range

This is a new problem.
I have eventually resolved the issue of getting 5.0 software on my 9000 phone. Installed the Blackberry Bridge, linked the Bluetooth, and it works fine on the PlayBook. An ideal product for what I want to do.
However, when I move the phone out of range of the tablet Bluetooth disconnects and will only reconnect if I delete all the devices and reinstall. According to the various blogs on the web this is a common problem.
All the other Bluetooth facilities work now and before off the phone, so I am convinced the issue is with the software on the tablet.
Please help me.

NEVER MIND!!! The app I was using was BackCountry. May Need GPS Airtime! This app may need GPS Airtime to function properly on Droids. Please bundle GPS Airtime with the paid version of Backcountry. Had I but know this, I would not have posted on Verizon my question about Airplane mode and GPS functioning, and would have saved time on my recent trip to Colorado back country. As it was, I had to discover the Airplane mode/GPS relationship on my own. PS: App works great on my RAZR MAXX, now that I have GPS Airtime and doesn't work for sour apples without it.
HOWEVER, Verizon, what are you going to do to fix this? I'd still like to know that.

Repeated Freezing When Left Idle.

Since updating my PowerMac G5 to Leopard back when it came out, I've had a serious problem where everything will freeze up when left idle. My machine is configured to just shut the display off after 10 minutes of inactivity and I leave it on constantly. Each time the machine is left alone for several hours I move the mouse or hit a key to turn the display back on nothing happens. This was never a problem with 10.3 or 10.4 and started the day I installed 10.5. I can still ping the machine from other locations on my network but I cannot get any other type of network connectivity. The only way to bring it back to life is to hard power it down.
I have been checking the logs to see if there is anything in there that can be an indication of what's going on and I constantly see errors relating to the USB subsystem. They look similar to this...
USBF: xxx.xxx OHCI driver:
OHCIRootHubResetResetChange bit not sticking.
Retrying.
I've unplugged all of my USB devices to see if anything would change but it does nothing. The one thing I can't modify are the USB ports on my display. I have an older 17" display with an ADC connection. The ports on that display have been acting up for years and I do not use them but I have no means to disconnect them as it all flows over the ADC connection.
I'm running out of ideas on how to troubleshoot this.
Thanks,
Jeff.

Did you get tis fixed? I have an imac G5 that is doing the same thing.

I lose bluetooth connectivity with lion on iMac 21.5. Have to reboot to get it to work again.

Since upgrading to Lion on my iMac 21.5", once a week I lose bluetooth connectivity and have to reboot to get my keyboard and mouse to work.

Backup up your data from both, and as long as you used Bootcamp to install the Windows partition you should be fine.
If you used another method, or have more partitons on the drive than Bootcamp, DON'T upgrade to Lion, unless your prepared to rebuild the entire drive, install Lion from boot DVD's you make from the installer and so forth.
Google "Egg Freckles Lion boot DVD" for details also Google for "Make copies of Snow Leopard install disks"
Snow Leopard is stable, Lion has issues with older Mac hardware ranging from video to wifi to slow downs to radical UI changes.
With all the effort placed in setting up Windows and OS X, to do that all over again to take a chance that Lion won't work on your machine is a a lot of risk for little in return.
When Lion is stable then consider it, but right now it's not.

Macbook pro logs out of network when left idle and then I need to turn off the router and all computers in the house to reset the system.

I have a macbook pro running 10.6.8. Since I got it over a year ago it will disconnect from the network when left idle and then not be able to reconnect. All computers in the house have to be shut down and the router turned off in order to reconnect again.   My son just updated his macbook using my os disc and now his computer is doing the same thing. What can we do?

I lose the connection when closing the CMD

Hi guys,
I have configured a standalone listener as following:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin> java -Dapex.home=D:\list -Dapex.images=C:\images -jar D:\apex.war
Afterward,
If I close the CMD, I will lose the connection, and I have to reconfigure it again.
If I open APEX locally , I mean by using the shortcut "Get Started With Oracle Database 11g Express Edition" , Then I will lose the connection that uses the default port of the listener, that is 8080.
After I configured the listener I got this message on the CMD
-- listing properties --
PropertyCheckInterval=60
ValidateConnection=true
MinLimit=1
MaxLimit=10
InitialLimit=3
AbandonedConnectionTimeout=900

Hi,
I'm not sure I got your question right, but I'll try to find some solution anyway.
If I close the CMD, I will lose the connection, and I have to reconfigure it again.That's what happens when a shell is terminated - all associated processes will stop as well. However, if you have a apex-config.xml in your apex.home you shouldn't need to configure your APEX Listener each time your start it, but it would reuse an existing configuration.
If I open APEX locally , I mean by using the shortcut "Get Started With Oracle Database 11g Express Edition" , Then I will lose the connection that uses the default port of the listener, that is 8080.Now, if you have XE running on the same (local) machine as you have your APEX Listener running in standalone mode, you probably have a port conflict: By default, both APEX Listener in standalone mode and the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway (EPG) use port 8080. The EPG is activated as web server for APEX in XE after a fresh installation, the APEX Listener would be an alternative in that case. You can either stop the EPG, or reconfigure any of the two web servers to use a different port, if you want to run them parallel.
To change the port used by the APEX Listener in standalone mode, you simply add another parameter to the startup: -Dapex.port=8888 and you're done.
To change the port used by the EPG, connect as sys and run the following
EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETHTTPPORT(8888);
COMMIT;If you want to disable the EPG, simply set the port to *0* .
After I configured the listener I got this message on the CMDThat's what it should look like.
No, since your topic is "lose the connection when closing the CMD", I assume you search for an alternative. You could run the APEX Listener as a Windows service, even in standalone mode. To do this, you create a batch file, e.g.
%JAVA_HOME%\java -Dapex.home=D:\oracle\APEX_Listener\_home -Dapex.images=D:\oracle\apex_4_0_2\images -Dapex.port=8888 -jar D:\oracle\APEX_Listener\apex_listener.1.1.2.131.15.23\apex.war >>D:\oracle\APEX_Listener\apex_listener.1.1.2.131.15.23\my_apex_listener.log 2>&1Note that you have to set JAVA_HOME as system property or replace the call with the absolute path to your JDK or make sure the JDK is in your PATH variable.
Of course, you can and should change the other directories as well to fit to your system.
Next, create a Windows service, e.g. using [url https://iain.cx/src/nssm/]NSSM (free) or [url http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137890]SRVANY (MS, non-free), that starts your batch as a windows service.
The command for creating that service using NSSM could look as follows
nssm install APEX_Listener D:\oracle\APEX_Listener\apex_listener.1.1.2.131.15.23\startup.cmdYou can edit the service properties afterwards, e.g. change the start mode from "Automatic" to "On Demand".
I hope this answers your question. If not, please point me into the right direction.
Thanks,
Udo

7510e printer loses internet connectivity when it goes to sleep

I own a 7510e all in one printer, I connected it wireless again after having it connected with a USB
cable, I had to do this because my printer loses internet connectivity when it goes to sleep or if I get a power outage, this has been going on since I purchased it last year. I got a new wireless router/modem combo from my ISP server and hoped that would solve the problem but it has not.
I cannot get any apps except for those that are on the front of my printer which are just for small kids. I am now told that this printer has been discontinued and 7520 has replaced it, I do not wish to spend another $200.00 in less than a year for a printer. It is registered with HP connected and I have a Efax # and HP connected address, I did everything correctly but it seems that each time I set it up wireless it messes up my desktop windows 7 home premium 64 bit, cloud services told me not to use IE 10 but we are ready to download IE11 so I am using IE 10, this time HP support assistant quit working and I could not even uninstall it until I downloaded microsoft fix it and then redownloaded it from HP web site.
If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it, I am not on a home group yet it always tells me I do not have administrators permission to do a lot of things, I am the only user.

My iMac loses wif connection when it goes to sleep. How do I correct?

Are you running OS X Lion? If so there are unfortunately numerous threads on here discussing exactly the same problem. So far there doesn't seem to be a definitive solution, with everyone hoping that Apple will come up with a permanent fix.
Here's a quick search of these forums alone - depressing reading:

New 6500 E709n loses wireless connection when it or laptop sleeps... & other problems!

Just got this printer and am hoping we can get it to work because we really like it. I believe we've done everything right - it is connected to PC via USB, and to laptop via wireless network. Both computers are Dells running XP. Our wireless router is a Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G. We installed the disk on both. Immediately after installing on the laptop by plugging in USB and then unplugging, we were able to get it to work. We printed and scanned from both . . . UNTIL the printer went into power save mode.
When it sleeps it loses all the network connections (but will still print from PC). Even the icons disappear from the laptop after it sleeps. The only way to get it to work with the laptop again is to start all over, plug in the laptop, enter the WPA key again, and so on. Then it's finebut for just a short while. Now, when I registered my protection plan, I was on the phone with a techie guy and asked him if it's normal to have to keep entering the key every time you want to print, and he actually said that maybe I shouldn't let the printer sleep - wow! I want to conserve energy, so I may even want to shut it off, okay, and I don't feel I should have to go through this rigamarole every time I want the darn thing to just be available to the network. Furthermore, what's the sense of having to turn "Wireless Radio" on and off all the time???
Anyway, there are other problems and the menus in the internal web browser is about as confusing as it can be. Is the passphrase the same as a WPA key? There's a passphrase in there which I did not enter, and I don't know what it is because it's been disguised with dots. When I enter the WPA key on the front panel of the printer, it doesn't stick. One thing I noticed in the instructions is to keep telephones away from it, so I moved ours (was right next to it) but it's still being ornery.
In addition, the scan function only works from the software, not as a standalone if I use the front panel. When using the button on the front panel, sometimes it sees the laptop, sometimes it doesn't, and then it starts to scan, but a menu pops up on the computer asking to update the buttons, and then nothing happens.
Have we a clunker on our hands that should be returned, or is there a remedy? All suggestions welcome!

Let me answer the easy stuff first:
Yes, the passphrase is the same as the WPA-PSK key.
No, it's not normal to have to re-enter the wireless security key over and over again. Politely tell our service agent that he is mistaken on this point.
There's no sense in having to turn the radio on and off all the time to get the printer to remain on the network.
When the printer goes into power-save mode, can you still access the printer's internal web page by browsing to it's IP address? When the printer loses wireless connectivity, can you wake the printer by pressing any of the buttons on the front panel?
I have a couple more questions:
What WRT54G HW version do you have (it'll be on the bottom label of the router)?
What version of FW does your router have? You'll have to browse to the router's internal web page to find out.
Finally, change the WPA-PSK group key renewal period to the largest value possible. Tell if this affects the frequency of printer losing Wi-Fi connectivity?
One more question. After you have the printer connected to your wireless network and it's working, if you turn the printer off (via the power button), wait five seconds then unplug it then plug it back in and turn it on, does it connect to your network?

Macbook Pro loses bluetooth functionality when plugged into thunderbolt display

This a fix that I think should be out there, because I searched and searched for months, then just found the solution myself. Want to make sure someone else doesn't have to deal with what I've been going through...
I've been dealing with bluetooth mouse, keyboard and trackpad dropping off unexpectedly on my MacbookPro Retina 15" ever since Yosemite. No bluetooth at all, even though it's showing that it is functioning normally. Usually this happened whenever I plugged in my thunderbolt monitor. It's maddening when you pop out for a meeting with your laptop, then get back to your desk ready to jam - then you're just frustrated clicking hopelessly on your mouse. Sometimes bluetooth comes backs, sometimes it doesn't until I restart. Turning bluetooth on or off had no affect. I came up with the weirdest fix yesterday, and so far it is working...
1) turn your wifi off
2) start clicking/moving your mouse, trackpad or keyboard until it gives you the "connected" notification on screen
3) turn your wifi back on
Weird! I made the connection when seeing people griping about wifi being hampered when bluetooth was on in Yosemite, and thought it might go both ways. Hope this helps.
