I was thinking of a new keyboard and mouse to go with the iMac

But I think the keyboard and mouse that come with this set will do their job admirably.
Any comments?

Just a little background here:
I was thinking of a Bluetooth Apple keyboard, which might come in time, but no real hurry.
The mouse was a Microsoft Bluetooth mouse. A few problems though:
CompUSA had one for $70, A little much fo a mouse.
And Compusa doesn't carry it anymore. Prolly the $70 asking price.
That and it might not work with the new configuration.
I played around with the Mighty Mouse at the Apple Store. Thought I could live it with it.

Since my G5 died I was thinking about getting a Mac Mini, but I have a ViewSonic Monitor (from 2004) and a USB keyboard and mouse - I also have the external drive tha downloaded my files on to. Do you think the monitor, keyboard and mouse will work on it?

Do you think the monitor, keyboard and mouse will work on it? Would I have to get a hub so I could use the stuff I already have? Is that viewsonic too old to work on it?
What else would I need? Please advise...

Yes for keyboard and mouse.
The monitor will work if it has an HDMI, VGA ir DVI input. If it only has a VGA input you will need this adopter

I have two iMac's on the same desk. Once iMac pairs with both keyboards and mice. The other pairs with the mouse, but I cannot get the keyboard to connect. How do I get a keyboard and mouse to connect to each iMac independently?

IMac crashes since new keyboard and mouse arrived

Recently picked up the new wireless keyboard and mouse after my old set finally died and once I got them both working I started to experience constant system crashes including restart messeges and random software just quitting out without cause. The iMac worked fine before I got teh new kb&m, but I ahve never heard of new accessories causing a computer to freak out like this. The computer is currently running Tiger. Any ideas?

Suggest that you repost over in the Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse Forums where the wireless folks hang out.
Also, since you have an Intel iMac, you may wish to cross-post over in the Using your Intel-based iMac Forums.
You should also indicate which version of Tiger you are using.

No one has a single idea?

HT1752 I have an old iMac (the rounded type with monitor). I need a new keyboard and mouse. Will any work? thanks for any help!

I have an old iMac for 2002....it's the rounded type that has an attached monitor. The software is way outdated (OS X 10) and I only really use now to access 3,000 plus songs and old video of the family. Both the keyboard and mouse no longer work. Am I able to use any keyboard/mouse and plug in using USB? Thanks for any help!

Most any USB mouse or keyboard should work. Borrow one if you can and just plug it in.
If the USB circuits are at fault then you can access via Firewire Target Mode with another Mac in order to get at the files.

Another alternative would be to remove the hard drive and use a USB adapter to access it as an external drive.

Keyboard and mouse won't connect to iMac

This morning, I suddenly lost connection between my 27' iMac and the wireless magic mouse. I had just scavenged a pair of batteries from a remote control the other day and while I wasn't notified of low batteries this morning, I assumed those new batteries must be dead. So I replaced them with shiny new ones and.....nothing. Using keyboard navigation, I tried to re-connect but nothing would work. My next step was a restart. This is where the computer lost the keyboard. So, again, I replaced the batteries in the keyboard and went through the initial bluetooth setup assistant procedure when trying to restart without a keyboard. It would find the keyboard, connect to it and then immediately loose it. I never got enough time to enter the password confirmation the setup procedure gives you. I found an old wired keyboard and mouse and got logged in and I've been playing around with the bluetooth setup assistant with no luck. Both the mouse and keyboard go into "discoverable" mode when turned on (blinking green light) and the assistant sees them but will not connect. For the keyboard I get the message "the pairing attempt was unsuccessful. This configuration of Mac OS X and Bluetooth software could be invalid or unsupported." I'm running 10.6.7, update as prompted and haven't done anything out of the ordinary on this machine recently.
Any ideas?

Paul,
I don't think you did anything wrong. I think it was just "one of those things". Things should be OK now.
Give a shout if they aren't.

Apple keyboard and mouse connection problems with windows 7

Hello everyone,
I just completed the installation of windows 7 home premium on my bootcamp partition, and even though in the beginning my keyboard worked properly after installing some windows updates it stopped working.
So, i tried to reinstall the specific bootcamp drivers(as described in installation guide), I also tried repair drivers but the problem continues!
Has anyone experienced something like this ? Could you advise me something?
Thank you!

Hi lolarennt,
Have just done the same as you on the same system. It took over 12 hours of mucking around. Had lots of problems with the black screen issue, mouse not working, failing to load error message 0x80070071 ( all this from memory... saw it a few times LOL). The bottom line was I started up in Mac version and using disk utility repaired permissions and then started a fresh and sixth install. To cut a long story short, this fixed my installing issues. My mouse didn't work initially, an issue with "DPInst.exe" something to do with the 64 bit install. I then updated the win7 programme using the update windows function and things now work fine. Granted the mouse does take a short while to work after starting Win7(10seconds or so) but no further problems...yet! BTW I had to update something like 79 installs totalling over 250mb and if you go down this path don't interrupt the updating process, because you'll have to restore and redo the updates ( I did thinking the system had shutdown). I only updated win7 not any other MS programme. Enjoy

How do I fix? Keyboard and mouse cannot enter data on IMAC

Both my wireless mouse and my wired keyboard cannot enter data. They are frozen out. But a wired mouse will work through the USB port on the back of my keyboard.
Help.

Welcome to Discussions - try resetting the SMU, and please let us know the exact model of your iMac.

I recently moved into a new apartment and I can connect with the internet by direct connection to the cable/internet modem. But when I connect my Airport Express, it just blinks with a yellow light and I cannot connect via WiFi. Any suggestions?

Can you transfer music from one iPod to another (that having one of them set up as a NEW iPod and not signed in with the first) through iTunes on the computer?

My mom has an iPod 2nd gen. I have been using it this whole time until Christmas. I got an iPod 5th gen. We listen to the same type of music and hers is on iTunes on the computer. I want to have my own iPod (set up as new) not set up with her account. But I do not want to re-buy all of the music that is already on her iPod. Is there a way that I can transfer all of her music from iTunes on the computer to my iPod (using the computer). If so, then how? and if not, is there another way that is possible other than logging my iPod in with her account?

Copy the music for the old iPod to his computer by:

Then sync the new iPod to that computer.

When I launch Firefox 5, two (2) windows open: the "What's New" window and a second window with the correct Home Page. How do I stop the "What's New window from opening when I launch Firefox 5?

Further: I'm running Windows XP.
This happens every time I open Firefox 5 and began just after I upgraded to 5.0.
Note: I've tried suggestions from the various posts in this forum from people who have similar problems, but with no luck. The problem still persists. Does anyone have any suggestions ??

hello, this might happen when firefox is not able to properly save preferences in its profile folder. please try this: Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and then click help [[Image:Help-29]] > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder". then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named '''user.js''' (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.
for more information and other steps please also see: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]

I installed my new iMac with my Macbook Pro 2008 backup and created a network with the iMac and now the Macbook Pro cannot get internet.

I installed my new iMac with my Macbook Pro 2008 back up. I created a iMac network with Airport extreme, but now my Macbook Pro cannot get internet. any ideas on why or what to do about it.

Hello 1BillyMac,
It seems you have a network conflict that isn't allowing your MacBook Pro to connect to the internet. This may be caused by both computers sharing identical network settings. You may want to consider creating a new network location on your MacBook Pro to assign new network settings. The following article will instruct you on how to do that:
OS X Yosemite: Add a network location
A network location is a group of network settings
A network location is a group of network settings for your various network services (Ethernet or Wi-Fi for example).
If you often change network settings, you may find switching between locations quicker and easier than repeatedly modifying individual groups of settings.
For example, you might want to make a location for “home,” where you connect to the Internet with a telephone modem, and a location for “office,” where you connect to your company network and the Internet using Ethernet or AirPort.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Network.
Click the Location pop-up menu, choose Edit Locations, then click Add .
Enter a name for the location, then click Done.
Enter settings for each network connection service you want to use in that location.
After you create your locations, you can switch all of your network settings by clicking the Location pop-up menu and choosing a different location.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Bobby_D

I GOT A NEW VERSION AND I HAVE PROBLEM WITH THE JAVA

Can I go back to get old verison ?
because when I got a new verison there is program I can not use it

Update the programs. If you wish to go back to your old system, then erase your drive and reinstall the backup you made of your system before you chose to update to Mavericks.
OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version
Cheers
