I have had my Apple wireless keyboard for six months or so now, and have been a happy camper with it, but just recently I had to replace the depleted batteries, and in doing so, I also replace my Magic Trackpad batteries too.

Now upon switching on both devices, I have noticed whenever my MacBook goes to sleep, I simply cannot use either bluetooth devices to wake it up.

I thought ok, must me a setting that had reverted back to default. Sadly when I found the setting I needed, its greyed out, and not allowing me to tick it. See screen below.

Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, how to get this option to allow bluetooth devices to wake up my sleeping MBP?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help, as this is driving me nuts.

Ok, I found the issue. I noticed that the option to turn my bluetooth off was missing, so shut MBP down for a few minutes, and fired it back up, then I found both the option to switch bluetooth off, and the option to set BT devices to wake Mac up available again.

Just thought I would share in case anyone else faces this odd issue.
