I did the ctrl-alt=shift power button (SMC Reset) and everything was fine. Quite a scare though. This happened to me today – Bluetooth completely disappeared.

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it, but it happens a couple of times a day. 10.5.6 did not change this behavior.

I'm not sure it's related, but I've been having trouble with Bluetooth on my first-generation MacBook for at least a year now... it also happens in Windows XP (disappears and reappears repeatedly), so I suspect it may be hardware related rather than what you're seeing, but I'll give this a shot. BTW, when my Bluetooth is acting up, a side effect is that it will sometimes force the computer to awaken from sleep spontaneously. The console reports something on the USB bus is causing the system wakeup, but I'm not using any USB devices and the Bluetooth adapter is connected internally via the USB bus, so it's got to be the problem.

Was hoping 10.5.6 resolved this but now I don't feel so confident (haven't tried yet). Also happy to see new touchpad drivers for Vista, though Ars reports they still have issues.

Have not installed the update, but what I do is to shutdown, pull the battery and then reboot. I have this happen every once in a while too.
