Apple Wireless mouse - reconnecting after sleep

  1. Marc Heusser - 23 July 2004

    wondering what I missed:
    my wireless mouse and keyboard (both from Apple) work well with my 17" PB. (using encrypted transmission)
    One annoying difference is that my keyboard connects automatically after a few seconds when I switch it on.
    This does not happen with the mouse.
    This is most annoying when the computer goes to sleep.
    I usually can connect the mouse by using Browse devices from the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar (hitting Browse, after a while it responds with device does not have necessary services, but the mouse works afterwards).

    Is there anything I missed to do that automatically ie reconnecting the mouse?

    TIA

    Marc

    I find that pressing on the mouse's on/off switch (which causes it to start flashing) almost always results in a reconnection.
