Wireless Keyboard - Low Battery Alert - Way to turn off?

I have a wireless keyboard (macbook late 2008 model running Lion) and while I've come to terms with the speed the thing eats away at batteries, I am most annoyed by the alerts telling me how low the battery is.  I get alerts at around 15% and around 10% they pop up almost every 7-10 minutes, which is quite annoying if you're doing a bit of work. I would prefer to use my batteries until they run out or at least until they are 5% or less, yet the annoying alerts almost make me wish to throw them out now.  Clearly the easiest solution is to just always use new batteries or rechargables, but I would prefer to find a method to just get rid of the warning altogether. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

To my knowledge, no.

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard Caps Lock light doesn't turn off

    Hello
    Recently the caps lock button light doesn't turn off on my apple wireless keyboard. Anybody know how to turn it off. Every time i press a key, the light dims a little, but when not pressed, its fully on. I tried resetting it, taking the batteries off, unpairing it. But nothing =(
    hmmm

    This doesn't turn off your light, but you should check out CapSee on Apple's downloads page. (www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/capsee.html) It puts a notification pane (or bezel) on the screen letting you know when you turn caps lock on and off. Looks just like the volume and brightness bezels. Very slick, and it's free.

  • Apple Bluetooth / Wireless Keyboard Low-Battery Indicator?

    Hi All,
    Does the iPad show a low-battery indicator when the Apple wireless keyboard is running out of juice? I know OS X is supposed to, but not sure about iOS. I plan to use my keyboard for meetings and depositions where I'd be in a tight spot if I ran out of juice unexpectedly.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    No, but, "The Apple Wireless Keyboard requires just two AA batteries — one less than the previous model. And its intelligent power management system conserves battery life. *So when you’re not using the keyboard, it automatically powers down. The instant you start typing, it turns back on*. Use the on/off switch when you're away from your computer for a long time."
    From here. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC184LL/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    Carry a spare set of AA batteries just in case.

  • Wireless Keyboard Low Battery Indicator

    I just purchased a new HP Touchsmart 300-1017 PC.  I got the "Low Battery Indicator" message for the wireless keyboard after taking it out of the box so I put new batteries in.   Now, two weeks later, I got the same message.  How long should the batteries last?

    I get that keyboard batteries low warning on my screen sporatically.  I just click it away since I know the batteries are too new to need changing. 
    What was I thinking when I bought an HP ?
    Oh yea, I wasn't !

  • How do I turn off the low battery alert for my wireless keyboard?

    The question is in the subject line. I find it kind of annoying to have to keep closing the alert window, and am still able to use the keyboard for a while past when the low battery alerts began. I tried system preferences for both alerts and for the keyboard but am not seeing how to adjust it there. Any help is appreciated! And yes I understand changing the batteries would probably help but I am comfortable using the full life of the batteries rather than changing them out right away.

    Edit: Oh I found a possible, but drastic solution: disable the whole notification centre:
    http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/how-to-completely-disable-notification-center-in-mac -os-x/
    I haven't tested this long enough to know if it helps yet, but it is easy to turn on again. I am so annoyed with not being able to disable these warnings that I am more than happy to disable the whole notification centre, if that is what Apple wants us to do to sort this annoyance.

  • 6750 How can I get a ''Low Battery Alert'' from my...

    I have recently bought  a 6750. At one point I realized that my phone died without any warning. Went through the User Guide, nothing.
    Went through the phone and only found one thing under: >Settings > Tones > Other Tones, ON or OFF. I set it to ON.
    Is this going to solve my problem or is there something else that I need to set?
    How can a mobile not come by default with a low battery alert?
    Maybe the OVI Suite should have a GUI to help setup the phone with all the proper instructions?

    the only way to find out if warning tones set to on will work is to let the battery run low again
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

  • No more "Low Battery" alert

    hi,
    my macbook doesn't give me anymore the "low battery" alert...
    i can't understand why...
    anyone could help me?
    sorry for my english...

    Have you ever calibrated your battery?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490
    Is your machine shutting down before your battery indicator gets very low... or is the display showing it has run out but just not giving a warning?
    Reset your System Management Controller (SMC). This can sometimes help with power-related issues. Be sure to follow the instructions for your particular model as they vary from machine to machine:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
    I would suggest resetting the SMC first as it is quick and simple. Calibrating your battery at this point may be difficult if your machine is not shutting down properly when your battery is low.

  • CS6 Multicam Edit - Is there a way to turn off some camera angles when the system gets strained?

    I'm doing a multicam edit in cs6 and the 5 camera angles I have are straining my system.  I have two main angles and three kind of back up go pro angles that I don't need most of the time.  But I don't want to get rid of them either.  Is there a way to turn off monitoring some of the angles at times so that video will playback smoother?  Then when I need the other angles, switch them back on when I want?  The video is so choppy with all 5 angles monitoring at once that multicam editing is basically impossible.  I'm editing on what's supposed to be a very fast system at work but it's not fast enough...Thanks!

    I'm not aware of any way to do this. You might want to invest in a battery case if this is a problem for you; our users here all have them.
    Please submit your feature request to Apple at this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback; I agree it's a good idea.

  • Is there any way to turn off keypad sounds when making a phone call?

    I am a new user to iphone....is there any way to turn off sounds of keypad when making a manual phone call of someone not in address book?
    Thanks

    If I understand the question correctly, it is not about turning off keyboard clicks, it's about silencing the beeps made when manually keying in a  phone number. With keyboard clicks turned off, the beeps still sound when keying in a phone number. If I'm reading the iPhone User Guide correctly, it explains how to turn off keyboard clicks but not how to silence the   beeps when keying in a phone number. The only way I have found to silence the beeps is to put the phone into silent mode.

  • Can not access control center-more than one way to turn off and on portait rotate?

    The very bottom of my screen does not register touch for some unknown reason ( I have a 4s and iOS 7.1)—however I've been dealing with that by rotating my phone to pull up the keyboard to type for text messages, etc. I accidently locked my ability to rotate my phone and now I can't pull up the control center to turn it off. Is there another way to access this function?

    Thank you for the quick response. Unfortunately, in the AssistiveTouch there is still no way to turn off the locked position of my screen, so when I click the different rotate options provided, the screen does not change orientation... any thoughts?

    Yes - but you will turn it off everywhere. Settings>General>Keyboard>Check Spelling>Off.

  • Is there a way to turn off the 'nannying'?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm using the Safari Beta, and am very impressed. Particularly happy about URL auto-completion working properly, resizing text boxes, in line search and the performance. So far, no problems.
    Is there though, a way to turn off all the "is this OK?" dialogue boxes? For example, when I click the red close button I am asked "Are you sure you want to close this window, you have entered text..." - well of course I want to close it, that's why I clicked it! Same when there are open tabs.
    "Reset Safari" also has an extra step, but the new dialogue box has all options checked by default, so I just end up having to hit OK, whereas before Safari just 'did the right thing'. The final one I have run into is "Javascript is making this page load slowly, do you want to continue?". - If I thought it was too slow, I would click the back button and go somewhere else, if I am happy to wait, I will wait.
    I think for some people, these will be welcome additions, for me however, I preferred the old Safari's attitude that just let me get on with the business of browsing, and wonder if there is a way to change it?
    Cheers, everyone.
    Rich

    The only one left is the "unsubmitted text" dialogue, which would not be a problem if I were not a Facebook user; after updating the "Richard is..." field (which does not require a manual submit to actually send) I get the above message. This is obviously Safari just not realising that the info has been sent and is therefore (I imagine) one for Apple themselves to answer!!
    You're welcome Rich. Glad to help.
    Not being a Facebook User, I'm not sure how to respond to the error situation. However, this would be something to report to Apple as a bug via the Safari Menu. First, open to the page in question, then select "Report Bugs to Apple".
