Bluetooth, iSight, and my printer/scanner all work just fine. But, when my iMac falls asleep, they all stop working when I wake it up.
Bluetooth becomes "not available," and nothing I do can reactivate it. This means my Magic Mouse won't work, so I have to use my keyboard's numerical pad to control the pointer (actived by pressing 'option' five times.) It's a royal pain, and the only way to get bluetooth working again is to restart the iMac.
My built-in iSight becomes disconnected. Everything on my iMac tells me "no camera connected," or something to that effect, except for Skype. For some reason, Skype recognizes my iSight, but all other programs (photo booth, iMovie, other third-party apps) and system preferences will not. It's a royal pain, and the only way to get iSight working again is to restart the iMac.
My scanner stops talking to my iMac (but the printing still works.) When I look in System Preferences/Print & Fax/Scan/Open Scanner, it just says "No Scanner Detected." Turning the scanner off and on doesn't help. It's a royal pain, and the only way to get the scanner working again is to restart the iMac.
Does anyone else experience this? Is there any way to fix it, other than restarting the iMac? I have to disable sleep to avoid these problems, but that's not a healthy choice...
