For many years now, clicking on my mouse, whether it's an Apple one or not (this one is), it wakes up my iMac from sleep. However, it now suddenly won't, yet a non-Apple mouse will, what's going on? Wouldn't any mouse do so, especially a "Magic Mouse 2"?
iMac 27″ 5K, macOS 10.15
Hey Jake, I think you misunderstood my intent. I don't want any of those other devices waking up my iMac... I've had some bluetooth ear buds, even when back in their case, stay connected, or re-connect, hijacking my sound output, which as you can imagine, is pretty frustrating! Sometimes I feel like throwing all my devices out the window... but then again, there's so much that they do which is great, so I don't... Although, if we could only save the internet, and maybe cell phones with basic functions (call, text, GPS), I could live quite happily ever after. I have an overflowing folder with only manuals & user guides, with more added all the time, and that's the part I hate, the constant re-learning how to do things we've been doing just fine, for even decades, every time we get a new phone, computer, OS, etc, etc... So, no, I don't want anything else waking up my Mac, it does it on its own way too often as it is. ;-)
If it is a Bluetooth mouse follow these steps.
> System Preferences, then click Bluetooth.Thanks, I knew there was a preference somewhere that addressed this, and curious it had been deselected, although I've recently updated to Catalina, so it maybe it reset itself. However, will this also mean that using any other devices, like headphones, phone, speaker, etc. will wake it up as well?
As far as Apple says is that, You would need to wake your Mac with a wireless keyboard, mouse, or trackpad. Although they say that, you could try with your headphones if they have some sort of button on them and you can toggle on that setting for them and see if It works. As far as your apple iPhone it wouldn't be possible, unfortunately. Although they could add that feature in the control center in iOS 14.8 or iOS 15 in the near future.
Why won't mouse click wake-up my iMac?
