Hello all, I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem where everytime I start my computer or wake it from sleep, I must always go to the bluetooth menu bar and go to browse device in order to sync the mice and powerbook together. Is this just the regulary process or I am I doing something wrong? Thanks All.

It's certainly not the regular process. Your mouse should be able to wake the computer from sleep.

I couldn't say if you are doing anything wrong however.

There have been a few Bluetooth updates. Make sure those are installed. They shouldn't be too hard to find if you trawl Apple's support site.

Or just use Software Update in System Preferences.

I found if I turn on the mouse before starting my PB the mouse is reconized, if the mouse is turned on after starting my PB I have the same problem as you.

I have Apple's Pro Bluetooth mouse and sometimes you have to press the mouse button to get it to re-sync.
