Help....my OS X won't turn on by just tapping the mouse anymore.... [View all]

I will put it to "sleep" and later when I want to use it again, I have to turn it on by pressing the button on the back of the monitor, whereas before, I could just tap the mouse and it would come on. Don't know what's up with the mouse.....has been acting like this for the past couple of days. Don't know what to do. Thanks for any help.

Your mouse has probably disco'd during sleep REP Mar 2012 #1

I press the 'Enter' or 'Return' and that turns it on. Probably a dying mouse. freshwest Mar 2012 #2

We use rechargeable batteries in the mouse.... a kennedy Mar 2012 #4

Ah. I always buy wired mice. Still, they go insane, taking me along. freshwest Mar 2012 #5
