10.5.7 - Bluetooth keyboard and mouse not working anymore

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..

Have you tried new batteries?

yes I did

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

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.

Is there any word from Apple?

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.
