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

    Hello warhogs17,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPhone will not turn on past the Apple logo. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • Since reconnecting bluetooth on my 3G after accidently dropping (the ap not the phone) I have successfully reconnected only to find the phone continuously searching for devices. To stop excessive draining of the battery I turn bluetooth off.

    After successfully reconnecting my 3G iPhone to bluetooth (I accidently dropped bluetooth) the phone contantly searches for devices. Everything works fine now but it appears the battery is draining more rappidly because the phone is constantly searching in the background. I turn bluetooth off when I exit the but it drives me nutty. Any suggestions?

    Is it possible to find out what serial or UDID info is stored on iCloud being used by the FindMyIphone site?  The FMI website doesn't show anything but the name and the device image (which is a generic iPhone image, and definitely not the 5S )
    Unfortunately not.

  • 2630 keeps discharging after turning bluetooth off

    On regular use (i.e. without using bluetooth), I can use my Nokia2630 for several days without recharging. Sometimes I use a bluetooth headset connected for about an hour and then disconnect the headset and turn bluetooth off. The bluetooth indicator disappears, but the battery keeps on discharging and is empty after less than 12 hours.
    If I turn bluetooth off and turn the phone off and back on again, there is no problem.
    Summarized, after turning bluetooth off, the phone keeps using a lot of battery power.
    Is this a techical failure, firmware issue, ...
    Suggestions pleas?

    I think might the bluetooth manager did not shutdown properly. and so judging from that, the battery depleted very fast but the battery indicator might not detect it as quick as it should. It happens all the time. Even my phone does.

    Hi John. Thanks for that input. At Step 6, after clicking "Next" I get a window telling me my OS version is unsupported and the installation may not complete. I am prompted to go to Canon's web site to "Check Latest Info".
    I've had this window on previous attempts and from Canon's web site I downloaded two drivers as follows
    - ICA Driver V4.0.0
    - Canon IJ Network Tool V4.5.0
    I'm not sure if these are the correct / complete drivers I need for this install or not.
    I continue to follow all the steps. At step 9 I click "Wireless Set Up using USB" amd get a License Agreement (a little different than instructions)
    I click "Agree" and it goes to a Setup window with two progress bars showing the installation. I've not been prompted to connect the USB?
    After the Setup window is done, I am then prompted to connect the printer via USB. I connect the printer and click on "Redetect". It is not detected.
    I then try following the Canon on screen instructions for connecting to the wireless LAN amd enter the password. It searches and indicates "Connecting" on the window, but it never connects and the blue light just blinks
    So, at this point I am stuck??
    Thanks

  • Screen cracked, Need to turn phone off completely.

    Off course, less than a week after my boyfriend gets this phone, he drops it and the screen cracked. We DO have insurance, but have to wait a week till payday for the deductible.  Here is my problem.
    Screen is cracked, phone is still on. I need to turn it off, as the alarms he has set for work keep sounding and are a pain to stop, as he has multiple each day. I know I can wait for the battery to die, of of course, BUT
    I've read that I can do what is comparable to a battery pull with the volume down + power button for 10 seconds. I have done this, but it seems to restart rather than turn off. Is this what that action should do? Or am I doing it wrong. If this is what the action should do, am I out of luck until the battery dies?

    This is what I found in the manual, page 55 in the Troubleshooting area for your device...
    Crash recovery
    In the unlikely event that your smartphone stops
    responding to touches and key presses, try a forced
    reboot—press and hold both Power and the down
    volume key for 10 seconds.

  • How can I turn bluetooth off via terminal or applescript?

    I want to write a short little script that when launched will shut off my bluetooth, I do not need to have the script turn the bluetooth back on. ONLY TURN BLUETOOTH off.
    I really hope there is a way to do this, is there?

    Try posting in the Mac OS X Technologies/AppleScript forum area.

    Are you recovering Lion or later Time Machine backup with a Lion or later machine?
    If you are, then use this article:

  • Can't turn bluetooth off, unspecified network in my computer.

    Why can't I turn my computer bluetooth off? And why is there an unspecified network in my computer? And why do the bluetooth file exchange automatically opens at the same time when all the above happens? Why do I have to reformat my computer and import CDs once every few months?can

    When you go to "System Preferences">"Bluetooth" and uncheck the "On" box does it come back on? Or if your bluetooth symbol is in the "Menu Bar" you can click the "Turn Bluetooth Off" in there.
    Check in "System Preferences">"Sharing". Do you have any of the sharing boxes cheked? Your MacBook will search for any computer within range and put it in the sidebar of the "Finder" window. Is this what you mean?
    Why do you have to reformat your computer and import CDs once every few months? What is going wrong that you have to do that?
    And why are you at 10.6.1? Are you not doing Software Updates?

  • I no longer have my iphone and need to turn imessage off

    i no longer own an iphone and need to turn imessage off but i no longer have the phone at all so i cant turn it off myself

    If youv'e ever called them they should have it on file. If you haven't call your carrier first and tell them that you need imessage turned off but don't have the imei number for the old iphone and ask if they still have it. Once you get it you can call apple and give them that number or have your carrier just route you straight to them.

    Running mac os x version 10.6.8

    Easiest way is to have an external drive to which you copy the things you store like pictures, movies, and music
    which take up a lot of space. Then delete them fron the main drive and clean it up with one of the maintenance utilities. You can readily access the external drive's contents whenever you wish.
