Leopard + Bluetooth

make sure the bluetooth is on, and its discoverable

 

Same dilemma.

 

ah the joys of being apples public beta testers

 

I was just thinking that

 

any ideas when the final OS (10.5.1) will be released?

need a fix for the screen dimming issue too

 

So, my issue may not be related to Leopard. I just switched to a BT mouse and keyboard recently, and wasn't aware that you can only pair them to one machine. Only after I reset the mouse did the OS pick it up... but this was after I went back to Tiger. I'll re-install Leopard tonight to see if it's OS-specific.

And while on the subject... do they make BT KVMs? I'd rather not have to get another BT mouse and keyboard, if possible. I'd hoped it would be as simple as disabling BT on one laptop, then re-enabling it on the target system, but that doesn't seem possible with my current setup.

 

There's a simple fix, shutdown your computer, remove the battery (if its a laptop, else pull the power out), wait about 5 minutes or so and start it back up. BT should once again be detected, worked for me.

 

I picked up a second BT mouse and re-installed Leopard last night. The mouse doesn't pick up automatically despite being discoverable, but Leopard does see and use it when I set it up. Only problem is, it has to be paired every time I run Leopard, instead of remembering like Tiger. Annoying. Anyone else with that problem?

 

No problem here. Just paired my Nokia e61i ...

 

I had some problems with my BT mighty mouse during the first day after upgrading to Leopard. But what I did was removing the batteries from the mouse and putting them back in. It has been working fine since....

 

Yep, me too, using a Logitech BT Travel Mouse. I will try removing the batteries tonight.
