Hey guys,

I recently picked up an Apple Cinema Display to go with my 12" Powerbook. Normally, I'd just like to run the ACD and keep the PBook lid closed. Unfortunately it looks like my BT Mouse and Keyboard won't wake the sleeping Powerbook.

When I go into my Bluetooth preferences, the square that say 'Awake sleeping computer via Bluetooth' peripherals is greyed out, and won't let me check it.

Is there any way to circumvent this problem? Any ideas. Id rather not have to go out and buy a USB mouse just to wake my computer up

Any ideas as to why this is greyed out?

Always a good idea to check the Apple Knowledge Base at http://search.info.apple.com/

Looks like you need a firmware update. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86524 . Search terms were "wake sleep bluetooth".

A slightly cumbersome workaround is to simply plug in (or unplug then plug in) any USB peripheral/cable. This will wake it up.

Tried both of the mentioned downloads, and still not luck.

Also, yes, I can just get a USB mouse, but I'd rather just use my BT mouse if possible. This greyed out piece shouldn't be there ..
