3rd party bluetooth and my newish iMac

I just bought the last generation 20" iMac and am shopping for an ergonomic wireless replacement for the wired Apple keyboard which will make my wrists quite unhappy.
Will a third party bluetooth keyboard and mouse pair with the iMac? This is the first time I've got Bluetooth on a computer, so it's all new to me.

I always check with the manufacturer to see if it is Mac friendly. If it is a big brand name they probably will be.

  • 3rd party bluetooth mouse can't connect Lion

    Hi there,
    There is a problem I found in Mac OS X Lion, I found that the 3rd party bluetooth mouse that couldn't be connect to those computer that installed Mac OS X Lion, beside that, I also got connect and use normally with my bluetooth mouse when I using Snow Leopard, and also I get test with some computer running Snow Leopard that I have, its running good.  But not in Lion.
    I tried to reset nvram or reset the bluetooth setting on my Mac Book Air, also not working, and I tried my bluetooth mouse connect to HK Apple Store's demo iMac, also not working, but it just working at my brothers iMac that running Snow Leopard!
    Could I have any advice about this?
    Thank you!

    On the Mac with Lion installed, the Bluetooth preferences may be corrupted.
    Go to     /LIbary/Preferences
    Move the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac.
    Make sure the batteries in the mouse are fresh.
    Now open System Preferences > Bluetooth
    Make sure On and Discoverable are selected.
    Click:  Set Up New Device ...
    See if that works.

  • 3rd party bluetooth keyboard not connecting to Mac

    I have a 3rd party bluetooth keyboard that works fine on m iphone,
    When I try to connect it to my Mac, the keyboard is discoverable as "Bluetooth Keyboard" where it always fails at the pairing process.
    "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. This configuration of Mac OSX and bluetoot software could be invalid or unsupported."
    The bluetooth on my Mac connects fine to my trackpad.
    Is there any reason why this shouldnt work on my Mac and is there any way to get it working?

    I had the same problem with my third party bluetooth keyboard. When pairing, I could enter the passphrase but then the RETURN button would not register to complete the pairing and it would give me the same error message. It seems to work if you pair the keyboard by going into System Preferences>Keyboard>Set Up Bluetooth Keyboard instead of using the Bluetooth Setup Assistant.

  • Safari allows 3rd party cookies and all cookies even when prefernces are set to "never allow" with Mac os 10.6.8

    safari ALWAYS allows 3rd party cookies and all cookies even when set to "block cookies: always" and "from 3rd party and advertisers."  I have removed the website data, emptied the cache, reset safari, erased the history and it STILL dumps cookies.  (For example, if I go to the usgov weather website only I end up with 11 cookies, the top one being "addthis.com" listed as cashed in local storage.  But didn't I just empty the cache... multiple times??? Is my Safari application "broken" or "corrupt."  Can the application be renewed so that it actually does what it is commanded to do?

    Not using any extensions, Andy.
    Allowed a guest account and tested that.  Lots of cache/cookies showed up for my "guest" that on face value, appeared 3rd party:  the familiar "addthis.com" cache and others including a facebook cache and I did not, nor have ever, participated in facebook. But it could be that the "trusted" site my virtual guest visited had a relationship with facebook such that my COMPUTER "friended" facebook even though my guest and I most certainly would have declined the invitation :-)  But what I really don't get is why washington post cookies keep showing up every single time.  Isn't that the absolute definition of 3rd party cookies?!
    forgive my rant.
    On the other hand, when I logged out as guest, all data was automatically deleted, and when I relogged in as guest, it appeared that all the data, including cached data, had indeed been deleted.  But when I relogged in as myself, the same old garbage reappeared in the cache and cookie bin. The fact is, there appears to be no such thing as truly and completely emptying ones cache, resetting ones browser, or deleting ones cookies. They are here to stay.
    (And, oh yes, I have tried logging out, turning off and on the computer right after performing emptying tasks, etc.)

  • BT Mulitast on 3rd Party Routers and IP Addressing

    I know a few of us use 3rd party routers and have got BT Youview IPTV channels working fine.
    But I have spotted a possible issue and not sure if this is my box or not.
    When set the Youview box to static ip, every few seconds it is requesting an ip address from the DHCP range. This should not happen when using a static ip.
    When the unit goes into standby it is still requesting the ip address which is odd as this again should not happen.
    Even resetting the device to DHCP, I get the same issue of it constantly requesting an IP address.
    I have performed the 'Software Reset' and both 'Factory Reset' options in maintenance mode and get the same issue once the unit is back up and running.
    I'm more inclined to say this is a possible faulty unit as neither of the 'Internet/USB Recovery' options work and instead they both say 'Sorry, selected option failed'
    Can some users just check their logs files for their routers and see if their BT Youview boxes are doing the same. For info my Retail Youview box does not have this issue.
    regards
    Walkerx

    thanks Tim,
    I think my box is faulty as I've now tried 3 different routers and get the same issue
    The device is set to static ip, but is still requesting a DHCP address.
    The BT HomeHubs have no decent logging so can't check anything on that and my Retail Youview box is not inheriting this same issue.
    Just waiting to hear back from BT but don't think they will class it as faulty as it still works, but if the recovery options don't work and getting this issue with the ip address then you would think it was faulty

  • 3rd Party Router and an iMac with Airport card

    Could someone assist me in setting up an older flat panel iMac 800Mhz with a airport card to a 3rd party router (Speedport W 500V). It was really easy to set up the DSL etc when connecting to an Airport Extreme base station, however I have upgraded and trying to get conencted at my parents place, which have DSL but with the Speedport W 500V modem/wireless combo - any assistance to get the two connected would be appreciated.

    Is there a SW tool similar to the Airport Admin
    Utility which will allow setting and management of
    the third party router?
    There may be (probably Windows only) or you need to use a web based configurator. It will depend on what the manufacturer of your router provides.
    The manual which came with the router (it may be in electronic form) should provide guidance on how to configure the router via a browser.

  • Are there any 3rd party LabVIEW and/or TestStand code analysis tools

    I am looking for any 3rd party tools to analyze LabVIEW and/or TestStand code. Looking for tools that will check for memory leaks, timing, and any other code performance problems. I know LabVIEW has the profiler tool, but I am looking for 3rd party tools.

    Hi wbolton,
    I am personally not aware of any 3rd party tools that do the same thing as the Profiler, but I can say that if you'd like to analyze a .VI or .seq file, the most straightforward way to do so would be with the appropriate National Instruments software.

  • 3rd party charts and graphs

    I would like to find out if there are any 3rd party (Free or for purchase) libraries which contain enhanced graphics objects.  For example, I would like to find a robust strip chart capable of displaying multiple simultaneous (Time locked or common X axis) strips in separate plots with the ability to re-arrange the plots vertically (Drag and drop), save the configuration, etc.  I'm sure this can be done via a lot of detailed programming, but I'd rather just use already available solutions if they exist.
    Are there 3rd party controls that replace and enhance the built in LabView graphs and charts?
    Thanks,
    Robert

    Below are some options for advanced graphical controls:
    VantagePoint Trend

  • SAP to 3rd party: EDI and XI: Needed advantages and disadvantages

    HI All,
    I have a requirement to sent PO data from SAP to 3rd party Vendors.(more than 30 vendors). Client insists on using EDI.!!
    I have completed the config on SAP R/3 side and IDOCS are created in SAP R/3.
    Since we have XI in the landscape, I have a few questions in my mind. Appreciate if you could give you feedback on these questions:
    1. Should we send data directly from SAP to 3rd party using EDI adapter and avoid XI.
    2. I assume EDI adapter will automatically convert IDOC to vendor format data and vice-versa.
    3. All 30+ vendors will need to access this EDI adapter system or do they all need to have a separate one installed in there landscape.
    4. If we use XI, will the adapter be able to communicate to XI. If yes what is the adapter name which connects to XI.
    5. All vendors need this data in a slightly different format, so will the EDI adapter do the format conversion for every vendor ?
    6. Since all vendors have a diff file format needed, I want to avoid doing extensive message mapping in XI. So can the EDI adapter handle it or is ther any easy way to do this mapping.
    7. If mapping is not possible, then does it mean I will have to create a separate IDOC for each vendor in R/3 ( in vendor specific format) and send that to them.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Shirin

    Hi,
    1) Should we send data directly from SAP to 3rd party using EDI adapter and avoid XI.
    A) For EDI integration u need to have the EDi adapters and for that u need to purchase the seeburger license and which is need to be installed on XI and after that only u can use EDi adapter with Xi.
    U can not ignore XI.
    2. I assume EDI adapter will automatically convert IDOC to vendor format data and vice-versa.
    A) Yes but only when u purchase the seeburger license. there are other ways as well either use conversion agent or module program which convert the XML to EDI format.
    3. All 30+ vendors will need to access this EDI adapter system or do they all need to have a separate one installed in there landscape.
    A) U have to use the EDI adapters with Xi and configure ur scenario in XI for all the vendors.
    4. If we use XI, will the adapter be able to communicate to XI. If yes what is the adapter name which connects to XI.
    A) Seeburger provide As2,X400,FTP,VAn adapters for EDi integration.
    5. All vendors need this data in a slightly different format, so will the EDI adapter do the format conversion for every vendor ?
    A) What EDI format ur vendor receivers the data it depends upon that.
    6. Since all vendors have a diff file format needed, I want to avoid doing extensive message mapping in XI. So can the EDI adapter handle it or is ther any easy way to do this mapping.
    A) Mapping is the part of desing and mapping changes accroding to the business requirement and mapping rule which is provided by Functional people.
    7. If mapping is not possible, then does it mean I will have to create a separate IDOC for each vendor in R/3 ( in vendor specific format) and send that to them.
    A) u need to do the mapping between IDOC and EDi then only the data will be mapped with the required target EDI strcuture.

  • Link between 3rd party software and SAP

    Our company uses a 3rd party software for its payroll processing.  At the end of every 2 weeks, we receive an Excel file that the clerk sorts and uploads into SAP using LSMW.
    The Director of Finance thinks that this process can be achieved much quicker/faster/more efficiently, and he wanted to know if we can directly establish a link between the 3rd party payroll software and SAP. 
    Any thoughts on how this can be established?  Do I have to write a BAPI functional specification for this and work with the ABAP team?
    Thanks in advance for all your help.
    Regards,
    Vijay.

    Hi Vijay,
    Through BAPI / BDC / Idoc you can achive this requirement.
    Ex:
    1 - Create Landing Table in R/3
    2 - Pull Data from Leagacy to SAP Landing Table
    3 - From Landing Table you can post to SAP

  • 3rd party application and address book

    Hi Guys
    This happens on a regular basis
    I use a 3rd party application called photo mechanic which is a n image browser from www.camerabits.com
    It has a feature where you can email the images using the mail application of your choice(my choice is mail) using the addresses in your address book.
    While sending multiple images often the whole process comes to a grinding halt as the address book is stripped of all it's contents, I back up the address book every time I add an address so it does not cause me to loose the information.
    Just wandering if anyone might have an idea what is causing this, the reason I ask in this forum is that the 3rd party developer says it must be an issue with mail as he knows of no other issues.
    I should add that I have no technical information as the error means a restart so nothing is recorded (that I am aware of)
    The images are added as attachments of usually 300k to 500k in size one per email
    Any help or ideas

    Any suggestions for integrating iweb with static html pages created by 3rd party apps?
    Joe ~ Since iWeb can't import HTML pages, one suggestion is to publish your current sites to the same iDisk space iWeb uses by following the instructions in this Apple doc:
    MobileMe: How to publish a custom website
    ...This would put your sites in Web > Sites folder and the URL would be:
    http://web.me.com/membername/foldername/
    Then you could remove your sites occupying the "HomePage" area, i.e. the Sites folder on iDisk.

  • My MBP shut off after plugging in 3rd party USB and won't start up again

    After I plugged in my phone to my MBP with a 3rd party USB cable it shut off and it never turned back on. I read online to wait it out and let the battery die and then plug the MagSafe charger back in. I waited about 24 hours and it still won't turn on. Should I remove the battery and re-insert it?

    Try resetting SMC first:

    Have you had battery issues recently?
    "Should I remove the battery and re-insert it?"
    If the SMC reset doesn't help then that's the way that the SMC was reset when you could remove the battery. We've had luck unplugging power adapter and the battery, pressing the power key and replugging the battery after a few minutes.
    Late 2011 Macbook Pro refuses to boot. SMC reset doesn't work
    "Thanks for your help. Disconnecting the battery and leaving it disconnected for minutes rather than seconds did the trick. I was able to then reset the SMC and it's fine now. Ordered a new internal battery as the one in use is 3 years old now. Maybe that will help."
