bluetooth problem in Lion OSX

after installing Lion OS X, i'm facing a problem in my bluetooth mouse everytime i put my MBP into sleep mode, the only way to make it work again is to turn bluetooth off then on, is it a bug or just in my device 😟

Potential FIX. My magic mouse was not connecting after my late 2008 macbook (10.7 Lion) would come back from sleep.


I went to bluetooth preferences, removed my bluetooth devices, and repaired them.


Problem has not recurred. I hope this works for others.

Well, I had noticed that my iMac didn't wake up since I upgraded to Lion, unless I clicked the Magic Mouse, but this afternoon, I couldn't wake it up either with the mouse nor the wireless keyboard. Neither device responded. I had to shut down the iMac and start it over again.


There is definitely something wrong with the bluetooth in this release.

I wrote that enabling the 'Allow Bluetooth to wake up the computer' didn't work, but I only enabled it for my account and not for my girlfriend's account. Yesterday I noticed that the problem only occurred when she had used the computer for the last time. It seems this is not a system-wide setting. I now enabled the option for her account and everything seems to work fine. Hope it stays that way...

I am having similar issues here wiht Lion. It sometimes just disconnects the bluetooth and since I have a keyboard, mouse and track pad it leaves me unnable to use the computer. The only work around is to connect the wired mouse and connect the blue

tooth or re-etart the computer. I guess it happens when it is in sleep mode.

Let me join this thread...


I have a same problem. My magic mouse won't work after waking from sleep. It will only work again after I disconnect and reconnect the magic mouse. Boy this is frustrating.


I believe this bluetooth issue along with wifi issue are the two most known and common bugs that are found after upgrading to Lion.

As I think I've mentioned previously, waking from sleep is not a problem for me; mine is a kernel panic every few days, followed by the loss of the mouse and keyboard. Once I reboot, stop and start the keyboard, etc., all is well.


This seems such a wide-spread problem with BT that Apple surely is aware of it. I read a couple of weeks ago the rumor that the .1 release was due any moment, and that the .2 release had been seeded to developers. I don't know if either was correct, at the time, but if the .1 release was that close, I wonder if it could have been pulled to make a major re-do on the wifi and BT problems?


My wifi is fine, but I can't send a link to a web page via Mail because Safari says I have no mail app installed, which I do and it works fine in or outgoing with multiple accounts. More weirdness from .0, I guess.

My problem is the mouse is very unresponsive and slow (jumpy). When I use a USB mouse all is fine. It happens on Safari and Adobe the most but when I am in the Finder is just fine. The jumpiness is when the mouse is on programs. This is very sloppy and makes me realize that Lion is not fit for bluetooth.
