magic mouse and track pad problums since installing lion

Yep, I hear you. I just can't seem to see exactly the timing of the disconnect. It has happened almost always after overnight, but at least one morning it worked OK. It MOSTLY works during the day -- the mouse, keypad or trackpad all wake the iMAC up as expected -- but it has failed a couple of times even during the day. My disk, monitor, etc go to sleep within an hour at most. What kind of sleep would occur overnight that doesn't happen within a shorter time? Very frustrating having to reboot daily, at least.

And...btw...my MAC Air, updated the same data continues to have ZERO issues!

ok I guess the battery suggestion was a long shot. Is it safe to assume the IMac's are having this issue?

How about deleting all the bluetooth device profiles. And rerunning the connection wizard.

I bought my MBP over a year ago and have never once had a problem with the mouse until last night. I installed Lion last weekend. Last night the mouse just wouldn't connect. I thought it might be batteries, but recharged and still nothing. I restarted the computer and all is back to normal. I haven't had to do that restart thing much since leaving windows. I have checked the sys pref and all the right boxes are ticked, as discussed above.

I NEVER had to do the restart thing in the year I had my iMAC -- UNTIL I upgraded it to Lion. Now I do it every day -- at least once. Very frustrating. Always same symtoms -- MAC frozen, no response with keyboard, mouse, track pad. Press power button lightly; monitor comes on, but still no response and have to do a 5 second press of power for the restart.

yes

since installing lion i lose connectivity with my mouse and keyboard every night.

i have to manually re start the computer to get everything working.

I am so frustrated i wish i could un install this program

is there a fix for this

mine is checked to and it continues

pretty much every day or after a long period of in activity

All -- I tried setting my screen saver to NEVER yesterday and, so far, so good. My iMac woke this AM with the mouse/keypad. I kept all the energy savings settings the save, but only changed screen saver. Hopefully this lasts.

Update -- problem returned on the second day, so the screen saver setting change to NEVER did not work to fix the problem.

I have exact same problem as alanfromcamas. Started last weekend with install of Lion, NEVER happened before. Has anyone found a solution or workaround? I suppose you could turn off iMac each night, but might as well have Windows at that point!

Apple dropped ball with this OS it seems. Loved it up till now.

This suggestion came from Stellamaris5 in another thread. I tried it and, so far it seems to be working:

Only change for me was to use the OPTION key instead of Alt key as was suggested.

Shut Down

Start while holding down the Alt key

Choose the Recovery disk

Choose Disk Utility

Choose your volume (usually Macintosh HD)

Repair disk

Then repair permissions

Reboot

i called apple support and they had me restart the computer while holding the command and p key i think. then they had me delete a bluetooth file and it seems to have fixed the problem.

knock on would it hasnt done it for a couple of days and before it was daily.

they are aware of the bug so i hope the first update addresses it.

I'm having the same BT failures to connect on awakening from sleep. My work-around is to open "Set Up Bluetooth Device". This always results in a connection to my Magic Mouse and Trackpad even without waiting for them to appear in the list of available devices.
