10.5.7 - Bluetooth keyboard and mouse not working anymore

after removed the mighty mouse device from bluetooth preference and pair again. it seems work fine now.

Bluetooth on macos X was always buggy. I use Nokia BH 503 Stereo headphones and twice a week I have a kernel panic! Every time I lose my work. Insane...
And this is system oriented on multimedia ...

So is the problem with the wireless keyboard - after last update for it, which was described as "resolving repeating and disconnecting issue" I have one - twice a day situation, when keyboard 'locks'. Key, which was last pressed, is being printed for 3 - 4 seconds, connection with keyboard is lost and it blinks with it's green led.

After yesterday's 10.5.7 update ... I have this problem every 10 minutes!
It messing up my code all day! This shiny keyboard becomes completely useless!
I'm so angry! Deadline and useless keyboard. All in one day!!!

Hey apple - students from my university make better bluetooth stack than you! Even in pure assembly language!

I'm having the exact same problem with my BT Mighty Mouse. It looks like it might be model specific as well. I have a newer MBP 15 inch that I use for work (MacBookPro4,1 - 2.4 GHz) and the mouse will work for a while, then just disconnect with the same symptoms as Jeremy C.
However, I take the SAME mouse home to use on my MBP 15 inch (older model) and I have no issues whatsoever. And at home I use an Apple BT Keyboard and the same mouse with no issues.
But this all happened since I've applied 10.5.7. And I've even reapplied 10.5.7 on the problem machine (with the ComboUpdate) just to eliminate that issue.

I have an Apple wirelesss mouse and keyboard on a unibody MBP, and a Radtech BT500 on a Mac mini. Both exhibit the same problems discussed in this thread. As of right now (Friday May 15, 1:20PM CA time), there is no software update to 10.5.7 that fixes this.

Exact same problem here on a MBP 15" unibody!

Folks, this is a problems that's also in 10.5.6, I've had it ever since getting this iMac, its discussed in other places here for 10.5.6, and I was hoping that 10.5.7 would solve it (I haven't upgraded yet) but it looks like its still there and possibly even worse as for me it only occurs maybe once every day or slightly less 😟

planb77 gave me a solution here.

That looks like an entirely different problem to me (and to the problems described here) I dont have the bluetooth control panel vanish, I just have iMac think its connected to the mouse when it isn't. Switch bluetooth off/on and it restablishes connection.
Its also hard to understand why repairing permissions would apply here, I am new to macs but already I think I am learning that 'repair permissions' is not dissimilar to 'reformat C drive' as a universal panacea.

Same here. After upgrading via software update to 10.5.7 my Apple bluetooth keyboard connection is hosed. Mouse is OK. Hope this bug gets fixed soon. I can get it going again with a lot of fiddling around and re-starting but something is obviously seriously wrong with the BT part of this upgrade.

Same problem here.
Everything was working fine with my MBP 15" + Apple wireless kb + Apple mighty mouse on 10.5.6 but since I updated with the Combo Update, both kb and mm (mm more often) suddenly stop working even if they results to be still connected to the MBP.
Switch off and back on (kb and mm) doesn't work, but if I switch off and back on the bluetooth on the MBP everything start to work again.
That's pretty annoying and I think it's a bug of 10.5.7.

Exactly the same problem here: never noted before on 10.5.6 and now it is rather often / recurrent with 10.5.7. How can we do to make apple aware of that and have a quick fix? A lots of people are complaining about this and it is annoying.
Cheers

im having the problem now that i have 10.5.7. i can be using the mouse and suddenly neither keyboard or mouse works. Have to get usb mouse which works fine then go to bluetooth settings - disconnect mouse and keyboard then reconnect and it works fine.

I deleted the keyboardtype plist and did the SMC reset this afternoon. Will see if this fixes.

I have had problems with BT mouse (it works great... on 10.4.11 and other machines using 10.4.11) but not with 10.5.6 and now again with 10.5.7 on my MacBook 2.16ghz 13" polycarb unit.
The tracking is eratic...the buttons function well...BUT NOT TRACKING....slow...to stop to fast and that is not workable. iHell?


What is apple thinking?....hmm what colour should be make the next iphone? ...how to unload a warehouse of old USB mice?

OR MAKE THIS ONE WORK FIRST!!!!

Ditto on early 2008 17" MBP. Never happened in 10.5.6. Disconnecting the device from the BT menu then reconnecting lets me continue.

Batteries OK. Has happened with two different BT mice, with the same Mac (one mouse at home, one at work).
