Any hints for OS X 10.6 where about 75% of the time my bluetooth mouse and keyboard are not working after resume from sleep ? Since both input devices are wireless I have no way to reset/start bluetooth. The only thing that works is sleep and resume again.

Brilliant fix thanks, but only because I can screen share from another Mac. How can I turn this command into something mouse-clickable?

Going to see if Snow Leopard fixes the BlueTooth issue v soon

I’m trying to do this procedure but can’t seem to enter my password into Terminal (which it is requiring me to do in order to confirm the sudo command). For some reason I can’t type in anything when it asks me for the password. Any suggestions on what the problem might be? Thanks!

Thanks! This worked like a charm.

I found this after I just bought a brand new Logitech BT mouse thinking my old one was dead. Now both are working well…at least for the time being.

I have a GearHead Bluetooth mouse which intermittently stops working for about 3 seconds every 5 or 6 seconds. I’m running 10.5.7. The above procedure did not solve my problem. Incidentally, the keyboard that came with the mouse works fine and does not suffer from this problem. Any suggestions appreciated!

Worked awesomely. I had been looking all day for a solution and the terminal prompt worked like a charm.

THANKS!

As far as I remember, they always had a bad track record of responding to such issues.

Same issue here on a MBP 15-inch Unibody and Mac OS X 10.5.7…
Strange that there hasn’t been a (quick) fix yet, since the -discussions are filled with this.
