Always shut off Bluetooth In Preferences when stowing your wireless keyboard

I spent the entire morning taking notes at a conference today and switched off my iPad at lunch and stowed it in my messenger bag. I took care to place the keyboard between several large newspapers.. When we returned I pulled out my iPad and heard music. The BT keyboard had turned the iPad on and phantom keystrokes had deleted my entire notes document. I know of no way to retrieve my Notes. I had switched off WiFi because I was constantly getting notifications of networks that I couldn't join so my iPad hadn't emailed me the document. From now on I will always switch off BT before putting it away and suggest you all do it as well.

You do that.
Thanks for sharing.

My safari is always shutting off and then a box asking me to fill out a report pops up it happens at least once a day, is there anything i could do to stop this?

I think you mean it's crashing or quitting unexpectedly.
Most likely due to third party Safari add ons. Follow the instructions for troubleshooting here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
If you can't resolve the issue, post a crash report so we can try and help you get Safari going again.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.

My ibook G4 shuts off randomly without warning when it's plugged in.

I have a ibook G4 (late 2004) running leopard. I recently (a month or so) installed a new HD, since original finally failed. I have been running my ibook on power only for 3 years, since my battery stopped charging.
In the last few days my computer has started shutting off completely without a pattern or warning. I hear a single click as it shuts off.
This began when I was using hulu and wanted to plug the video adapter in as a larger display on my TV. In order to do this, I closed the ibook (putting it to sleep) while on hulu. Plugged in the video adapter and opened the ibook. It seemed that my computer had shut off suddenly when I opened to awaken it. I held down the power button to hard reset it, not knowing if the comp. was off or not. A low-long beep came from within the computer and the sleep button blinked very quickly about 8 times or so(too fast to count).
Ever since then I can't trust it to stay on for any amount of time. Sometimes it will shut off as it is booting. Other times it may run for several hours then suddenly shut off.
I am wondering if some other part of this ibook is dying or if I created an issue with the video adapter? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jason

TS3048 My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

I would always have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand (need not be expensive ... any cheap wired devices will work). "Emergency recovery" procedures can activate features in random order, so the opportunity to select a recovery partition may pass before the wireless devices are recognized.
That will let you select the "turn on Bluetooth" icon.

8310 - Shuts off EVERY 10 seconds when not charging!

I just got my 8310 last night, and realized it needed charging. After spending 20 minutes with it, it FINALLY decided to start charging *idk why it just wouldn't at all, but at least now it does *
So I wake up today *saturday*, and I notice it's working much better, however whenever it is unplugged from my computer, the screen shuts off, a red light is displayed *where the green fully charged light, or the yellow charging light is displayed*, and one of two things happen when I press the ball in:
A. It completely shuts off, and turns back on, with the hourglass, which takes ~2-5 minutes for it to do anything *usually this one*
B. It goes back to what I was doing
I've tried everything! The only thing I cannot do is call Tech Support *something about needing an account subscription or something?*. As I said earlier, I JUST bought the phone within this week, and had not yet even opened it since late last night.
Thank you for your time
Edit: forgot to add this: the battery is FULLY Yellow *meaning that it is fully charged... right?* so.... yeah.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It sounds like the phone's OS may be corrupted. Perform a clean installation of your OS: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320

Why did apple make me shut off find my iphone when i ordered a replacement iphone

I called 1800myiphone to get a replacement phone yesterday. When they told me they would send me a replacement the first thing the girl had me do was shut off find my iphone. Anyone know why?

That is required so that the Activation Lock is disabled.
As long as Find My iPhone is actived the only way anyone can do anything with it is by first entering your Apple ID and password. Otherwise all it is a brick.

Shutting off "welcome to" popup when my Lacie NAS mounts

Is there any way to do this? It gets annoying. When the drive mounts, I get a "welcome to lacie disk", and the finder window opens up. I want it to just mount the drive, and that's it.
I noticed in Leopard on another machine I have, I get the "welcome to", but the window doesn't open.
Terminal?

All this cabling and re-cabling caused me to re-configure my Routers and Switches, which threw my Internet connection offline. In attempting to get it working again, I went back to the actiontek Router that Verizon FIOS provided originally. The actiontek's power supply had failed, and I had dropped back to a previous Router. Verizon later sent a replacement Power Supply, even though the unit was out of warranty.
When I went to configure the actiontek Router, I noticed that there were a lot of options to restrict access for just certain users, and to restrict actions based on time. There were options for both content-filtering (which I am not currently using) and Firewall-based restrictions, many of which could be based on time-of-day and day-of-week.
Once I set the Router's date and time, and allowed it to be updated from a network time server on the Internet, I was able to set up a set of FireWall restrictions for every day of the week. At 10 PM, it disallows traffic through the Firewall, and keeps it off until noon the next day. Now everyone in the house knows the Internet shuts off at 10 PM, and no manual Intervention is required. If you have not completed your homework by then, your Internet time is over regardless.
Verizon FIOS customers and actiontek Router users reading this should check for these features in your Router -- you may already have the solution in hand.

Bluetooth System Preference Gone / Can't Find Keyboard

i booted up my mac pro today and it couldn't find my wireless keyboard. I went to System Preferences and clicked on bluetooth and got the spinning beachball. Restarted and now my bluetooth preference is gone. Changed the batteries on the keyboard and no luck. Ran cocktail (repair disk permissions, etc) and re-set p-ram. Please help!

Same thing hapened to my Macbook overnight. I leave the computer on all night. When I left my Macbook, I know my Bluetooth keyboard and Mighty Mouse were working, but now all I get is Bluetooth: Not Available. I've restarted several times and nothing changes. I appreciate any help.

Kernel panic when using Apple Wireless Keyboard (bluetooth)

I kept getting kernel panics (gray multi-language screen) at seemingly random intervals on my MacBook Pro with 10.5. After a while I realized that part of the time it seemed to be when I would type something that woke up my Apple Wireless Keyboard (the new thin one) and cause it to reconnect to the laptop, then the other times seemed to be when I would go out of range of the keyboard where it would normally bring up the "Connection Lost" notification.
I have disabled bluetooth for now and no longer use the keyboard (it was my only bluetooth device) and the kernel panics have stopped.
Has anyone else noticed this? And perhaps more importantly, does anyone know of a workaround until this bug is fixed?

Same problem here today. I've got a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse at home. I put the computer to sleep at home and when I tried to wake it up at work I had a kernel panic..
I'm just doing some research now of what a kernel panic is at all.

Bluetooth won't connect my Apple wireless Keyboard, Mouse, or Trackpad

Just as the title says...
I have a 13" MBP Mid 2009.
On OSX I can connect my Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard (3 battery slim model,) Mighty Mouse, or Magic Trackpad.
Windows 7 detects these devices in the "add device" screen but never gets any further then that when trying to connect with them.
I have installed the bootcamp drivers, and also did the update for them as well.
These devices connect fine in OS X, so why not in windows?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Scott

SOLUTION:
Put the devices in "Manual paring mode"
1. Turn device off.
2. Push and hold in power button until the LED starts flashing on and off.
3. Try the paring procedure.
4. It should work.
I went to the apple store and this is what they did. They got the trackpad paired no problem, but the keyboard would refuse to make connection. At first they blamed windows and didn't want to replace the keyboard because it worked fine under OSX. However I made them try one of their keyboards and it paired fine. So they ended up swapping out my keyboard for one of the newer ones and now it pairs with both windows and OSX with no problem!
