I always leave my powerbook on and the same with bluetooth mouse. When my computer does turn off it does take sometime for it to reconnect. I would just leave it on the entire time...if you don't mind to change the batteries every few months.

i also use the apple bluetooth mouse with my powerbook, and i never turn off the mouse when i put my powerbook to sleep or shut it down entirely (which is rare). i've found that the mouse wakes up "better" and connects to my powerbook more quickly if i start by clicking it rather than just moving it around. somehow, just moving it doesn't seem to wake it up. but clicking a couple of times and then moving it around does get it to connect to my powerbook in just a few seconds...

might want to look into rechargable batteries, thats what i have, works nicely, i have four so i can cycle between pairs.

2. Turn on BT mouse.
3. Click and hold.
4. Connected in about 5 seconds.
Didn't know I can do that. Thanks.
You're welcome.ipacmm said:
Tip: If you haven't already, click System Preferences, then click Bluetooth under the Hardware section. In the Settings window, tick the box next to "Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar".
This will allow you to visually see when your BT mouse connects so that you don't have to move it around and watch for cursor movement.
