I didn't know that there were that many fixes needed for my Mac's Bluetooth Wireless Mouse/Wireless Keyboard. Everything seemed fine on this end....:eek::eek::eek:

I've been having trouble with my 2009 Mac Pro. My BT connection is weak and appears to drop from time to time, showing the "connection lost" message. And yes, my batteries have plenty of juice. Hopefully this update will improve reception and all that.

Hoping this helps me out with some random disconnects I've been having with my wireless keyboard at home and wireless Mighty Mouse at work. Don't want to send my baby in for a new Bluetooth chip. :(

Gotta try this one out - just yesterday I was freaked out to see my Wireless Mighty mouse move cursor around the screen without me asking it to...

Good timing - hopefully this fixes it.

This is Apple's way of saying " we had a problem with bluetooth and iPhone OS 3.0 so we better fix it".

I am so happy Apple have released this update. I have been having constant drop outs with my Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse. I am using the Early 2009 Mac Pro. It seemed to always drop out when my Time Capsule would start a Time Machine backup.
