Updated to 10.5.7 and since then after some minutes my Appley wireless keyboard and the mighty mouse do no work anymore.
Note that the connection is not lost. When I then turn bluetooth off, the system tells me that the connection got lost and when I turn it on again it works as before. But after some minutes it won't works.
This happens on a new MBP.
How can I solve this problem?

I had similar problem w/logitech bt keyboard and almost threw the **** thing (mac) out the window. but reason prevailed and i did get it working. what i did was to power off the mac and remove the batteries from the keyboard (then had dinner...) then i powered on the mac and from another mac (i dont have a usb keyboard around) i screenshared into the keyboardless mac and deleted the keyboard from the list of bt devices. then i turned on the keyboard and re-paired it (using the screensharing mac). after that it has worked fine and the losing connection issue is better but sadly not gone!
good luck

I have same situation. I'm running Macbook Pro 2,4 (2008 version, not unibody). The keyboard didn't lose connection, but started working. Then the green light in the keyboard started blinking. I removed batteries, rebooted, and the keyboard worked for a while, but then stopped working again.
I hope this get fixed..

It has nothing to do with the batteries, my keyboard and the mouse fail both at the same time (and after disabling/enabling bluetooth on the mac everything works again)

Thanks, but this sounds a bit tooo complicated for me... It really should jut work.
A funny thing is that since I put the MacBook to sleep and woke it up again it seems to work without the problems. Maybe this issue is only triggered after a reboot and the wakeup call from sleep somehow initializes the bluetooth differently. Will try if I can reproduce this tonight.

Indeed, the bluetooth works after I disable/enable bluetooth in OSX.. for a while. But I can just keep repeating this until it gets fixed.. so it's not so big problem

Are you kidding?? I can not interrupt my work every 5 minutes... Totally unacceptable.
I use an apple laptop, an apple bluetooth keyboard, an apple bluetooth mouse - no fancy stuff. I thought this way I would get the best compatibility.

Same problem here. 10.5.7 but with a unibody MacBook Pro. Occasionally both the keyboard and mouse will just stop responding and I have to disable/re-enable bluetooth to get it working again. Highly irritating!

In my case, my MS Bluetooth mouse simply did not work at all after the update to 10.5.7. Changed batteries...nothing. Rebooted...nothing. What did work for me (at least so far), is turning Bluetooth off/on and then re-pairing the mouse with my MBP. I have not had time to reboot to see if it sticks, but it is certainly working for me right now.

I can concur that this has to be a bug in 10.5.7. I have the Apple Bluetooth Mighty Mouse and after updating to 10.5.7 the Bluetooth mouse will quit functioning. It does not say the connection has been lost and as far as my MBP is concerned it is still connected. I can switch the mouse off and the MBP still thinks its connected and never displays the Connection Lost icon until I switch Bluetooth off and back on. After I do that I turn the mouse back on and it comes back online. Again, I think this can easily be stated as a software bug for 10.5.7 and I would say it is a Severity 2 bug.

Same problem here. After the 10.5.7 update the Bluetooth-panel in the Finder tells me "Not available" and my Apple Wireless Keyboard & Mouse don't work anymore. Only a reboot (with a wired mouse) fixes the problem.
