My wireless mouse disconnects after a long sleep, and only rebooting machine makes it come back.

My wireless mouse disconnects after a long sleep time, always overnight, and pushing buttons, replacing batteries, etc. doesn't wake it up again.  I have to reboot the machine, sometimes losing data, in order to make it work again.  I am kinda new to mac, so hopefully I am just missing something easy.

Maybe something here will help:

  • Wi Fi looses connection after long sleep and the performs poorly after reconnecting

    I am having trouble with the Wi FI dropping after a long sleep. Then after getting back on line trouble with pages loading slowly. This just started when I switched to Road Runner Lightning using a Ubee DVW 3201B modem/router. My service provider is Brighthouse. They suggested that the MAC firewall is the problem. Do I need the firewall with  asecure router/ any help appreciated.

    I have the same issue and have to cycle the wireless modem on the laptop. Doesn't matter if I'm on a preferred netowrk or no, or if I stay on the same network or move. I come out of sleep, I have to cycle the modem.
    It's not life threatening, or anything, but it's a hassle. I didn't have the issue with Snow Leopard.

  • Hello.  I recently pieced together a late 2008 MacBook Pro 15".  Everything works fine except the battery constantly goes between "not charging" and "calculating" or, rarely "charging". It does charge after a long while and will report that it is charged.

    Hello.  I recently pieced together a late 2008 MacBook Pro 15".  Everything works fine except the battery constantly goes between "not charging" and "calculating" or, rarely "charging". It does charge after a long while and will report that it is charged.
    I have reset the NVRAM and the SMC a couple of time but that didn't work so I ran an Apple Hardware Test and while testing the logic board it gives the following error:
    4SNS/1/40000000 LB1T
    I've done some research and found this is a temperature sensor related to the battery, but cannot find where the sensor is located in the computer.  Would you know how I can find the sensor to test it?  Could my battery problem be related to something else?  Would a fresh install of Lion help?
    Thank you!
    Mike
    Two pieces of information that may or may not b helpful, the hard drive is from my early 2008 MBP and the only test disc I have access to is from an iMac.

    Why do you have LION installed on that older machine?
    So you say you built a macbook from a bucket of parts eh?   Kudos

    iChat disconnects after a few seconds and starts to blink the whole screen
    this started since I installed Leopard; if I go back to 10.4 it works OK. I got rid of all the plist and it still hangs up. How can I uninstall this. On my laptop it works OK but I installed it with complete erase on laptop; on my desktop I stalled it over the old system.

    and you have attemptedto log too often in a short period of time. wait a few minutes before trying to login in again.
    EVEN THOUGH I ONLY TRIED ONCE TO LOG IN.

    If you Archived and Installed then check iChat launches from the Applications Folder.
    If it does that Drag the current (iChat 3) icon off the DOCK and drag iChat 4 to the DOCK.

  • Is it possible to use an external drive to play movies on my iPhone 5?  I am going on a long flight and only have a 16gb iPhone.  I will not have access to wifi, so it would have to connect manually.

    Is it possible to use an external drive to play movies on my iPhone 5?  I am going on a long flight and only have a 16gb iPhone 5.  I will not have access to wifi, so it would have to connect manually.  I've heard of apps that connect to an external for this very purpose, but its via wifi.

  • My Macbook starts up, shows the screen saver, then immediately goes to sleep. I tap the spacebar, it comes back for a second, shows the tool bar and the hard drive icon then immediately "goes to sleep".  This can go on forever, on, sleep, on, sleep.

    My Macbook starts up, shows the screen saver, then immediately goes to sleep. I tap the spacebar, it comes back for a second, shows the tool bar and the hard drive icon then immediately "goes to sleep".  This can go on forever, on, sleep, on, sleep. I can only see the screen for maybe 3-5 seconds; not enough time to do anything. Someone did step on it, so I don't know if the problem is with screen or ??
    Thanks!

    Hello, Juniorjr2. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This sounds like screen curtain may be enabled.  Screen curtain is a feature that allows display privacy.  To disable screen curtain while VoiceOver is enabled, you can three finger triple tap the screen to disable this feature.  You may need to press the home button once in order to process these steps.  If you wish to disable VoiceOver, see the link in the article below.

  • Keyboard and mouse disconnect after sleep mode

    We've been having the following problem lately with our mini: We'll be away from the computer long enough for it to go into sleep mode. But when we wake it, we'll get the screen back and see the mouse pointer on screen, but the mouse will not work and we can't get the keyboard to input anything. There is power getting to the mouse and keyboard, but none of the input is registering.
    The "solution" so far has been to do a hard reboot, which fixes everything, at least until the next time it happens. This doesn't happen every time we wake the computer from sleep mode, either.
    For reference: We are using the Gateway keyboard and optical mouse that came with the computer which the mini replaced. And both of these are plugged into a USB hub, and the hub is plugged into the mini. (So I realize this could be a problem with the hub.)
    Thanks!

    LucysDad...
    Is the hub self-powered (with a transformer to plug in) or buss powered? Buss powered units are no good IMHO. Must have powered ones, when it comes to hubs.
    What brand? Port Authority seems to be tops in my book. I don't know whatever happened to Belkin but they went sour for Mac use in or around 2000. Something happened to Belkin's "suspend and resume" function circuits that affects as what we refer to as sleep and wake up mode. Other 3rd party hubs are a toss up so I don't even go there any more.

  • Update to 10.6.8 - system hang (mouse issue) after resume from sleep

    I am on older
    MacBook Pro3.1
    Intel Core 2 Duo
    2.6GHz
    Run on 10.6.8 almost flawelessly. Shortly after upgrade to 10.6.8 system started to hang periodically after resuming from sleep. Symptoms are that it stops responding to mouse (be it touch pad or USB mouse). Keyboard seems to be ok but system doesn't seem to be fully functional. I am able to ssh from the other computer and 'shutdown -r now' after reboot system seem to be ok until next resume from sleep. What interesting though is that this problem newer manifests then I am using external monitor.

    Found problem. It was due to magic mouse that I left on. I carry this mouse in the laptop bag but rarely use it. Last time I used it (around the same time I install the update) I left it on in the bag. It was apparently disconnecting/connecting on its own and by some reason sometimes was breaking touch pad and other usb mouse connected to laptop, as soon as I switched magic mouse off broblem was fixed

  • Wireless mouse fails after Mavericks update

    I've been using a BTC wireless keyboard/mouse combo (see attached photo) with my 2011 Mac Mini since
    MacOSX 10.6.  Never had an issue. However, after the Mavericks update, the keyboard works, but the
    mouse does not. These keyboards use RF (not bluetooth).  I've tried powering down and zapping the
    PRAM.   Any suggestions?
    keyboard part works, but the mouse part no longer operates.

    I found the following steps will unfreeze the trackpad:
    1. Use Command + Space to launch Spotlight
    2. Type "System Preferences" in Spotlight to open the System Preferences program
    3. Inside of the search field in System Preferences, type "mouse"
    4. Press the "Enter" key to oper the mouse preferences
    At this point, the trackpad will unfreeze.
    If you leave System Preferences open after you've completed the steps above, when the trackpad freezes again, you can use Command + Tab to bring System Preferences to the top of your windows.  Doing so will unfreeze the mouse.
    Very annoying, but better than a reboot if you're presenting in front of people.  I hope Apple fixes this soon.

  • Why does wireless mouse disconnect on every restart?

    My wireless mouse has started to disconnect, never to be found again, on every restart after 10.6.1. Only after several attempts and restarts does it connect again.
    I was wondering if anyone knew a fix for this.

    Try setting the wireless to manual and fixed channels.. the auto channel swapping does cause issues.. I would also give different names to 2.4ghz and 5ghz so you know clearly which wireless you are connected to.
    But sometimes they do just go bad.. power supply is not robust. They do become unreliable.
