Problems with Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard battery levels 10.6.7
Last day, when I update to 10.6.7, Mac tells me that the batteries of the mouse and the keyboard is 18850648374% and in the Preferences panel always tell me 100%, but the other day Mac tells me that the keyboard had no battery and that's not true
How can I fix it?
This is driving me crazy!
Thank you!
P.D: sorry for my bad English, I'm Spanish...

Getting Bluetooth set up initially in Bootcamp is a bit of a hit and miss affair in my experience, but persistence pays off, and connection is reliable. I gave up with the keyboard on my Mac Pro at one stage, tried again a few days later and it worked.
How did you do it?
Persistence and repetition, reading lots of threads and getting snippets from various sources, can't recall any silver bullets.
Have you searched this forum, there are a LOT of posts on the subject.
Links please? I can't find any.
If you type "bluetooth" in the search box while at the top level of the Bootcamp section you will get six pages of hits. Here are just a few, not necessarily the best or a complete list or in any particular order, but they contain relevant info.
I can't remember the detail now but one of the key steps for me was launching the bluetooth "service" mentioned in some of these links. Initially option wasn't appearing at all. Also mine (and others) seems to need a single click after boot to be activated. If you try and move it before a click it won't respond so you might think it wasn't working.
BTW I am assuming you have successfully installed the Boot Camp 3.1 drivers?

I am afraid at this point I stopped trawling through looking for the most relevant ones so the above is incomplete.

Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard with Bootcamp and Win XP Pro 32-bit
Does the Apple Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard work with Boot Camp running Windows XP Pro (32-Bit)... I read something leading me to believe there maybe a problem and you need to use a wired USB mouse/Keyboard.
Is this true?Apple Wireless Keyboard is able to work in Boot Camp via Window XP Pro, it's good enough.
but the Magic Mouse, it's not able to work completely in Window XP Pro,
it's just work like a normal bluetooth wireless mouse,
all the Multi-Touch features like scroll, rotate, swipe, pinch and tap click are not gonna work,
even you are configure via the snow leopard, so please be reconsider.

How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?
No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

IMac 27" i5: Bluetooth Enabler Driver Problem with Magic Mouse and Keyboard
So I just got my iMac 27" Quad Core i5 computer and was able to succesfully install Windows 7 64-bit (using this guide to get past the blank screen problem http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10533092). I then installed the Boot Camp 3 drivers from the Mac OS CD and updated windows via Windows Update. Everything seemed to work well.
I even had right click and scrolling capabilities with the MAGIC MOUSE! Also, all the keys were functional on the wireless keyboard.
However, after a few minutes of use the keyboard and mouse would hang and get stuck and I would have to do a hard reboot of the machine. I uninstalled the Apple Bluetooth drivers from the Add/Remove Programs menu and it fixed the problems with the devices getting stuck. However, function keys on the keyboard (brightness, volume, etc.) and scrolling in the Magic Mouse now not work. Is anyone else having this problem?I found a solution, and everything now works! I followed step three in this discussion http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2221427&tstart=0 which says:
Disable power management for Bluetooth Radio. Open device manager, open Bluetooth Radios and right click on "Apple Bluetooth". Select the "Power Management". Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". -
Magic mouse and aluminum wireless keyboard not working in windows 7
Aluminum wireless keyboard (fully upgraded firmware as of 2/19/2010) not working, or magic mouse. Both from Apple Store, not amazon or ebay.
No error shown for magic mouse, only "connecting to device" for 15 minutes now.
With keyboard, at times it shows an error, but sometimes it lets me type a passkey. It doesn't recognize the passkey although it's saying it's paired, it doesn't work.

Connection problems with Magic Mouse and handoff
I did a clean install of 10.10.3 and since then the Magic Mouse has had problems connecting. First it wouldn't pair. After a few reboots and repeated attempts I was able to pair the mouse with the rMBP. After waking from sleep it now no longer connects. I select the mouse in the Bluetooth menu and connect. Connection appears on the screen, but the mouse doesn't respond. After a few moments I get Connection Lost on the screen.
In addition to the mouse problems I have completely lost any hand off capability to or from the iPhone to the rMBP or back. It's like the Bluetooth connection between the devices is not working or is too weak to function.
It would be very much appreciated if any one has any suggestions on the cause or to a solution.
Thanks.Hey Tom,
NVRAM and PRAM are, while technically different, effectively the same. Newer systems utilize NVRAM to store the same information that was stored in PRAM on older Macs.
On older Mac computers, similar information was stored in Parameter RAM (PRAM). Resetting NVRAM on Intel-based Macs using the same key combination is like resetting PRAM.

Does apple have an issue with magic mouse and adobe
does Apple have a problem with magic mouse and Adobe Photoshop/Indesign/Illustrator, scrolling uncontrollable, pages moving of their own accord etc.
If so, whats the cure and why does Apple not admit to it?
Badgolfer4it's rare that a mouse would perform in a different manner between different applications
I would troubleshoot with other apps to see if it was just adobe apps
and then I would troubleshoot by trying a different mouse
could be the mouse was defect -
RE: iPad Air and Apple Wireless Keyboard
HI, I have an iPad Air paired with an Apple Wireless Keyboard. Can I access emoji from the wireless keyboard?
Thanks for any help on this subject!Eureka! I kept searching and found the solution. So, if anyone wants to know here is the solution: press fn and the up arrow on F Keys (top) row (it's the one all way to the right. The iPad keyboard will then pop up on the iPad and from there you can access the emoji keyboard.

Problem with Magic TrackPad and Macbook Pro
I just bought the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Magic TrackPad for my home desktop setup. I connect my Macbook Pro 13" (from august 2010) to a Dell U2410 screen.
Everything works perfectly for a while, but then the cursor starts jumping around on the screen when I use the Magic TrackPad. Now here comes the weird thing, if I open the lid on the Macbook just a few inches the jumping stops completely and the Magic TrackPad works perfectly again.
I have tried googling a bit and browsed these forums also - no luck finding a solution.
I have also tried connecting a USB mouse to the Macbook when the cursor started to jump around - no problem with the USB mouse. I have also tried a different Magic TrackPad that my friend also just have bought for his setup - same problem after a short time.
Everything is updated to the latest software and firmware.
Thank you in advance for your help.I have the same problem with a Trackpad paired with a new Mac Mini just purchased in September. After a while, my trackpad also starts to exhibit behavior similar to those described by Hecro. The trackpad cursor feels frozen, or else it jumps around, often trying to stay away from or jump over any hyperlink in either text or graphic form on the page I am viewing.
I find that if I pick up the trackpad and hold it above my palm between my thumb on one side and my fingers on the other side — so there is no pressure on the clicking feet on the bottom of the trackpad — a "jumping" trackpad instantly becomes a "stable" trackpad. Put it back down on a surface and it starts jumping again.
Also, when it starts jumping or skipping, I also find that if I use one finger and bear down hard on the trackpad, it resumes being responsive.
I am filing a comment about this on Apple's feedback forum at www.apple.com/feedback at the advice of a Genius at the Apple Store at Cambridgeside in Cambridge, Massachusetts USA. -
Connections problems with magic mouse
I keep losing the bluetooth connection with my Magic Mouse, magic track pad and apple bluetooth keyboard.
Magic Mouse problems are daily. Sometimes it works intermittently. Track pad problems are less frequent.
The keyboard gives me problems with the shift key. When I hit the shift key sometimes it causes texts to be highlighted on screen. When texts are highlighted on screen, they are erased once I hit a new key. This is extremely frustration. Any solutions?Usual first attempt for a remedy for these BT problems is to try smc and pram reset.

Unable to pair ipad 3 and apple wireless keyboard
I own an Ipad 3 but am unable to pair it with my apple wireless keyboard. I bought it in Sept 2012 same day with keyboard. Both paired without issues daily. Once I downloaded the recent ios 6 update i've been unable to connect my keyboard with my ipad. The apple keyboard still pairs with my macbook pro and my iphone 4.

I never tried my function keys before, but most are working under iOS 4.3.5. I get no response for F3, F4, F5 or F6. I suspect those may be App-specific.
What model keyboard is yours? Mine is MC184LL/A, according to the box it came in.

Space/Delete/Caps keys only work with Fn pressed. Apple wireless keyboard.
A few weeks ago i noticed that certain keys weren't working on my keyboard.
A row of central keys, delete, function, caps, arrow keys and the space bar. De-coupling the keyboard to attach to my iPad rendered the same results. No use of keys. I gave it a clean but zilch. So I bought a replacement apple wireless keyboard from a friend, not new but un-used.
It worked PERFECTLY.
BUT after the weekend, I sit at my desk to discover that while the central row of keys works fine, I have no delete key, no alt key, no down-arrow key, no spacebar, no caps...the capslock light doesn't even turn on.
I start going crazy. Since then i've:
I've cleaned the keyboard,
I've deleted relevant library files,
I've reset default keyboard function keys,
I've performed SMC/PRAM resets.
Nothing.
My keyboard - now two of my keyboards (and I only have two) are unusable.
But today I discover that in fact all the keys DO work. But ONLY if I press and hold the fn key in the bottom left hand corner. If I press the fn key the capslock button works, the light even turns on. if I press it down, I can delete things, use the alt key, I can make spaces between texts, I can use my down-arrow.
As you can imagine, this took a while to write.
I'm going out of my mind. PLEASE GOD SOMEONE HELP ME...Did you ever solve this problem? I am having the same issue. No spacebar, delete, arrows, or tab.
Had to paste a space to write this email.

IPad 2 and Apple wireless keyboard (function keys not working)...
Hello all,
I just purchased the Apple wireless keyboard to use with an iPad 2. It pairs fine and I can type away but none of the function keys work (brightness, volume etc). Anyone have any ideas? I think these worked fine on earlier keyboard models.
All help gratefully accepted,
Irlandés
