After 10.10.4 upgrade USB keyboard and bluetooth trackpad stop working after waking up from sleep

Mac mini 2013. After the upgrade to 10.10.4 each time the Mac goes into powersave mode and wakes up again the usb attached keyboard and bluetooth trackpad do not work anymore. I have to reboot to get everything working again.

I have this exact problem but when I moved from 10.10.2 to 10.10.3. I was hoping 10.10.4 had fixed it. Darn...


I tried all those resets as well as re-pairing it (Sadly not repairing it...) to no avail as well


Apple support just told me to reinstall the operating system. I refuse on the basis that they made fun of Windows for having to do that to fix problems (which, ironically, I've never had to reinstall. Win7 works great!).


I just can't believe no one at Apple on their own computers are having this issue but plenty of others on the forums are suffering this as well... It's very clearly a bug and it unfortunately does not seem fixed in this iteration either.

iMac not waking up from sleep after Yosemite upgrade

We're not the only ones who suffer alone, Peter...been an issue for a long time. For some reason we just suddenly fell victim to it recently.

This seems to solve the problem.


@LivingAimlessly: We did not have the problem until the upgrade to 10.10.4. But I agree that re-installing the OS is an action reserved for Windows users. I work with Linux, Mac OS, several Unix OS's and Windows, and re-install of the OS only is required sometimes with the latter, even with Windows 7 and Windows 2008. The problem, by the way, only occurred on our Mac mini at home, for my job I have a MacBookPro and I did not have a problem with that machine.

Hrm Peter, I don't quite understand what you're saying, sorry.


Resetting the PRAM/PMC and the other quicker fixes that even Apple support suggested very much did not fix the deep sleep Bluetooth bug for me. They then suggested to reinstall the OS. I'm not ready to do this. I figure I'll just wait for El Capitan and hope that they've somehow fixed it there though I'm not hopeful since people have had issues with this in past releases including 10.9.X and 10.8.X. It must be a fundamental problem with a core system component that the Bluetooth module is communicating with that keeps getting copy-forwarded into new OSX releases, that only seems to happen in very specific circumstances (perhaps with installation of a 3rd party module, though I can't think what that would be as we have very little on our iMac other than MS Office, Steam, and Minecraft [java perhaps?])


I just can't accept that if this many people are having trouble with it, that it's an isolated incident. There must be a bug or something. I'm mostly surprised that people at Apple themselves using their own computers have not yet encountered this issue or adequately addressed it.


(as for Windows 7, my personal experience despite installing a ridiculous amount of 3rd party software, is that I have not yet had to reinstall it and it works just as well as when I bought this PC. I'm not saying you haven't had a legitimate cause to have to reinstall MS windows. Surely all OSs differ based on individual usage and as we see, even Apple running on uniform hardware, seems to have that issue...)

Hrm...is there a similar EFI update for the 27" late 2013 iMac that fixed this? The update listed for my model (2015-001) only seems to address "Improves security of Mac systems by addressing an issue where EFI could potentially be overwritten without authorization." which doesn't seem to address the bluetooth issue :-/


Also for my iMac it was definitely introduced in 10.10.3 as 10.10.2 worked just fine. I guess for you it was 10.10.4.

I have done the PRAM reset and that solved the problem partly, but I still had the problem of hanging mail (see many threads of other users).

The firmware update as suggested by Eddie Ski seems to have solved everything. Indeed the update was available in appstore, probably only for Mac mini 2012 users.

That firmware caused the problems is likely, I had no problems at all with my MacBookPro (2013 model).
