Black Keys and Black Glossy Mouse
I'm new to the Mac, so forgive me if my question seems blasphemous: I don't know if it's design no-no or something, but would it so hard to make version of the aluminum keyboard that has black keys, and a black version of the Mighty mouse? I like my new iMac, but when I look at the setup on my desk, it seems like it's jusssst so from perfection. Perhaps someone can suggest a matching keyboard/mouse? The only thing I've come across is the PC based Logitech glossy/aluminum (Bluetooth) keyboard and new Air Mouse (both much too expensive, by the way). Thanks.
Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I agree that a re-design, or shock-horror a choice of colours, is needed. Please leave feedback for Apple here:

F9 and F10 keys and my Logitech Mouse
I've been using the wireless Logitech Mouse with my iMac G5 and have got all my buttons set juuuuuust the way I like them. I recently got the PB G4 17" and I am trying to set my mouse buttons like my iMac G5. I having problems with the F9 and F10 keys ( all windows and application windows ) When I press them the keyboard illumination thingy pops up. If I look in keyboard shortcuts in system preferences F9 and F10 are set for all windows and app. windows?? two actions for the same buttons??
To use the F9 and F10 keys to control Exposé, you need to do one of two things:
- Press the fn key with F9 and/or F10
- Go to System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard and check the box 'Use F1-F12 keys to control software features' and use the fn key with F9 and/or F10 to control the keyboard backlighting. If you check that box, then Exposé will behave in the same way it does on your iMac wrt your mouse buttons. -
Function Keys and Mouse Right Click Stopped Working On New iMac
I bought a new iMac a couple of days ago and everything was working fine until last night when I noticed that the volume up/down function keys and also the mouse right click no longer worked.
For the mouse I tried turning off the right click option and back on again and also tried another mouse which has the same problem. Both work ok on a MBP which I have.
I have tried doing the normal SMC and PRAM resets which doesn't solve the problem.
One program which I installed after I got the computer was Logmein which screwed up my audio settings. After uninstalling that my audio settings are ok but I was wondering if the program could also have changed some other settings.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.Have you checked the System/Keyboard preference pane to see if the Function key option is checked?

Why is it that when I plug my Macbook Pro to an external monitor, the external monitor turns black and shows the mouse only
Hi, yes preferences sees there is a second display it recognises what make of monitor it is etc but I just get a blank blue screen on the monitor when I change it to the hdmi setting! I have tried with mirroring on and off, rearranging the displays in the preference window and lots of different resolution settings but with no difference.
An old MacBook connects fine so the monitor and hdmi port must be okay. I'm sure we have used the cable before but it could have been with the previous MacBook Air. The current one I'm using is a mid 2011 version running lion and is (according to software update) all up to date.
Any thoughts or help would be appreciated! -

Firefox 3.6.11 does not respond on mouse, only Tab key and space bar
HW: Lenovo R61i.
OS: MS Win-XP PRO, ver 20002, SP3
Internet Explorer is diabled in:
Contol Panal|add/remove programs|add/remove windows components
All other programs responds om USB mouse or the little joy-stick between G, H and B-keys.
Removed FF, booted and reinstalled FF 3.6.11.
Mouse works a couple of cliks - then Tab key and Space bar is the only tool.
By the way - living in Norway, means No version og FF :)Getting very tired of this problem which is becoming much more frequent. I love the FF browser, but lately after I have been on line for a while, the browser stops responding to mouse clicks and I have to use the task manager to shut the program down and then reopen it to get it to work. From what I've been reading in the forums, this is not an uncommon problem. I've done all the recommended fixes and nothing works. Please fix this!!

I am having troubles with 3 things: scrolling with my laptop mouse, controlling my laptops volume with F9 and F10 keys, and I can not copy and paste images.
Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
[[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
[[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
volume controls issues are windows, not firefox.

Bluetooth keyboard K810 and mouse T630 at the same time, repeating keys and mouse starts to stutter
I use a Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 2, Windows 8.1(core edition), x86 (32bit).
If I pair a Bluetooth keyboard K810 and mouse T630 at the same time, with Wifi On, the keyboard starts repeating the keys and the mouse starts to stutter. Especially if WiFi is under load (when downloading something).
This doesn’t happens if I pair only the keyboard, or if I pair mouse and keyboard with Wifi OFF.
If I pair a Bluetooth keyboard and use a USB mouse with Wifi ON, everything works fine.
If I pair a Bluetooth mouse and use a USB keyboard with Wifi ON, everything works fine.
I think it is an issue with two Bluetooth devices paired at the same time with Wifi ON.
So here is a summary:
BT mouse and BT keyboard / Wifi ON ----> repeating chars and the mouse starts to stutter (bug)
BT mouse and BT keyboard / Wifi OFF ----> works fine
Only BT keyboard / Wifi ON ----> works fine
Only BT mouse / Wifi ON ----> works fine
USB mouse and BT keyboard / Wifi ON ----> works fine
USB keyboard and BT mouse / Wifi ON ----> works fine
Where is the problem? Is there any solution?
Solved!
Go to Solution.I have solved the problem. In the Wlan-Drives-Settings there is the "Bluetooth Collaboration" option. I put the value to "Disable" and now works everything like charm.
Best regards, jC

Hi all,
anybody please tel me how can i access key and mouse events.here i don't have any GUI application.
thanks in advance
pradeepIf you don't have a GUI application then no events will be generated.
Or do you mean "GUI experience?" A quick google would have found you these:

Wanna kill your wireless modem and function key with a few mouse clicks?
Toshi satallite 675D, 3gHz 4meg ram, doze 7
All you have to do is go to msconfig and disable all start up apps except the touch pad and hit restart. This is immediately after the second in two days 2 hour recovery which fixes the problem. After watching while all the flab gets reinstalled and upon rebooting, I checked the fn key, its working. I went straight to msconfig and did what I described above checking the fn key while the restart choice is waiting.... it's working. After restart fn key and all the F keys at the top of the keyboard are dead and the wireless modem is also dead. Even tho the modem light is on. I go back to msconfig and enable all startup apps to no avail. I type in flash and restart the flash cards and it actually worked ONCE. I disable again as above and restart and every thing is dead again like before only now it's another two hours of reloading crap I don't need to get this other crap I don't need to work again. Surely...... there is a better way to turn the coffee shop modem on and off. What is it please? If this is the best toshi can do with a marketing device they are in trouble.

When I am searching the internet and using my mouse, my screen will suddenly zoom in to about double size. Clicking control and mousing will not return it back to where it was. I have no idea what I am doing to cause this to happen or how to reverse it.
Hi.
If you're using a Magic Mouse, a double tap on the mouse with one finger will zoom.
Double tap again to unzoom.

Problem with bluetooth mouse setup at startup and no usb mouse functions
Today for the first time ever I got this screen for bluetooth mouse setup at startup. I've never seen this before and have no bluetooth devices. Very weird! It continues to search for a blue tooth mouse and won't let me do anything.The window says "Pairing with your bluetooth mouse.If the mouse is not found, make sure it is discoverable" My generic usb scroll mouse will not function and has always worked fine in the past. I tried plugging in the stock apple usb mouse also and this doesn't function either so there is no way to cancell this out. I've restarted several times and no luck ,can't login and no mouse functions. Just continues to search for a bluetooth mouse . This has me worried as this is recording studio computer and I have a session tomorrow . Any ideas how to get this to bypass this bluetooth window so I can startup and login and get my mouse functions back.
thanks,Craig
OS 10.4.10
G5 dual 2.5GHZ / 4GB ramSolved it on my end... Hope you're not afraid of using some Unix programming...
I went into Unix mode (start up holding command key and s-key down). black screen with lines of white type pop up. (Means you are now in Unix mode). Give it a few minutes to check all the computer and when it no longer keeps adding any further info on screen type "fsck -fy", that is fsck space minus sign fy and without the quotation marks - exactly as shown inside quotation marks, and hit enter. It will run for several minutes detecting all that makes your computer work... I had in the final lines a message that read "file system modified". If this is the case than re-enter the fsck -fy command. Repeat this until one of the final lines will read "the volume appears to be OK". (I only had to do it twice to get to it). At this stage type "reboot". My mac restarted and I could log in without any sign of the annoying bleutooth mouse message. Hope it will work for you too!

Arrow keys and enter key not functioning in Firefox 3.6 when viewing PDF
I'm using Adobe Reader 9.3.0.
I have a web application that displays PDFs (using Adobe Reader) in a browser. The PDF is loaded onto the page inside an IFRAME. In addition to the IFRAME containing a PDF, the page also includes several forms, text fields, etc. For the most part this is working fine. However, I have a glitch when using this in Firefox 3.6. I'm finding that certain keyboard events are being lost and I strongly suspect that they are being swallowed by Adobe Reader. When I place focus on an HTML text field and press enter key or arrow keys, I do not get the appropriate key events. If I run the exact same test without the PDF IFRAME these key events work correctly, but as soon as I load the PDF into the IFRAME they do not. I believe the primary key event that gets lost is the keydown event. I do get the keyup event.
Again, the events work correctly up until I load the PDF onto the page.
I've verified that this error does not occur in Firefox 3.5 and 3.0.
Here is a testcase to reproduce this:
<html>
<head>
<title>JavaScript - Detecting keystrokes</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

document.defaultAction = true;
function init() {
var x = document.getElementById('testForm').getElementsByTagName('input');
for (var i=0;i<x.length;i++) {
x[i].onclick = setEvents;
if (x[i].checked)
x[i].onclick();
writeroot = document.getElementById('writeroot');
document.getElementById('emptyWriteroot').onclick = function () {
writeroot.innerHTML = '';
return false;
function setEvents() {
if (this.id == 'default') {
document.defaultAction = !this.checked;
return;
var eventHandler = (this.checked) ? detectEvent : empty;
document.getElementById('textfield')['on'+this.id] = eventHandler;
//document['on'+this.id] = eventHandler;
function detectEvent(e) {
var evt = e || window.event;
writeData('<b>'+evt.type+'</b>: keyCode=' + evt.keyCode+' : charCode=' + evt.charCode);
return document.defaultAction;

// nothing

Paste the above into an HTML document. Open the HTML document in Firefox 3.6. Check the four checkboxes. Move into the text field and press arrow keys and enter key to observe the results when it is working correctly. Then click on the "Now Load PDF" link. Press the arrow keys and enter key again and observe that the behavior has changed.
Anybody have any idea why this is happening or how to work around it?I found a workaround!
By using an object tag instead of an iframe, all the keys seems to work fine and the PDF still renders in the page the same way.
Here's a page that works:

wake up at the login screen of lion. It is almost like the whole screen is painted grey and moving my mouse side to side is like an erase fuction that reveals the login area one little square at a time. Similar to other posts.
I was so frustrated I call the Apple Tech Support and they walked me through. It has been doing great. The screen still turns black but now, when I touch the mouse or touch pad, I get the password prompt. The Apple Store did not help but talking the the Apple Tech has helped a lot. Thank you.
