OS X Tip – Mighty Mouse

If you own a Macbook Pro or a Powerbook and use an Apple Bluetooth Mighty Mouse, you may have experienced an issue when you put your laptop to sleep it wakes up while the lid is closed when you move the mouse. Unless you power off the mouse, you could inadvertently wake up your laptop in your bag, drain the battery and not even know it.

The fix is simple:

1. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
2. Click Bluetooth to open its preferences.
3. Click the Settings tab.
4. Deselect the “Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer” checkbox.
