Blue tooth malfunction with keyboard and kepad

I replaced both the trackpad and wireless keyboard thinking they were the ones malfunctioning, but, when the iMac stop recognizing the keyboard, I rebooted and the Blue Tooth Icon is no longer in the Preferences Menu.
Any ideas what is going on with this?

Hi there
You may want to try resetting the SMC & PRAM, and see if the issue persists.
If so, then you may have an issue with your iMac's bluetooth antenna/card.

Tethering/blue tooth issues with ios6 and iPhone 4s

Blue tooth not working since updated iPhone 4S to ios6. Trouble with personal hotspot, also. Any suggestions?

wireless system problems happen often when you do not reset often, reset every week your phone and you should be fine
I hope my answer was usefull, if so do not forget to click (this helped me) or (this solved my question), thank you!

HT5176 I have a disability that limits my keyboarding abilities and speed. A blue tooth add-on keyboard will provide some help. However, I expect to rely on the dictation function. Will "dictation" work in conjunction with a wireless keyboard?

I have a disability that limits my keyboarding abilities and speed. A blue tooth add-on keyboard will provide some help. However, I expect to rely on the dictation function on the ipad 3. Inasmuch as the blue tooth keyboards have no "dictation key, will "dictation" work in conjunction with a wireless keyboard?

I also have admiration for Steve Jobs. I've been a Mac user since 1984.
Given that a wireless keyboard will not have the dictation key, there ought to be some way to work around this issue. All that is needed is some way to toggle between keyboard input and microphone input. Perhaps using AppleScript and/or a hot key, I can set up a voice command or define a hotkey to toggle between the 2 inputs.
What do you think?

870A Fuzion Power has problem with keyboard and mouse movement only in games.

Hey guys,
recently built a new system and chose to go with the 870A Fuzion Power mainboard, everything has gone very smoothly execpt for one problem, only when I play games like Crysis 2 ect the mouse seems to jolt around now and again and the keyboard decides to stop responding if I hold down the movement keys, and this is only in game not surfing the web for example. Now, I am using a wireless mouse and keyboard but I plugged in a PS/2 keyboard and the exact same thing happened. I've installed all of the drivers that came with this board and the drivers for the mouse and keyboard. Any of you guys ever had this sort of problem or know how to fix this?
Thanks.

I bought a new Macbook pro in june 2010, I didn't have any keyboard or mouse issues prior to upgrading to 10.6.4 supposedly this update was made to fix some issues with keyboard and mouse becoming unresponsive. For me the opposite happened. after the upgrade, my keyboard and mouse (trackpad) becomes sometimes partially unresponsive or totally unresponsive. the only way to solve the problem is by completely turning of the computer and turning back on.. granted it doesn't happen very often.. generally once every about 2-3 weeks but it is still annoying though..
I didn't have a chance to use the computer too much on the previous version (10.6.3) so I don't know if it is software related or hardware related.. any thoughts?

Your problem might be a easy fix.
If the firmware "forgets" what partition it's supposed to boot from, it won't load OS X, so if OS X doesn't load then it can't tell the fans to slow down, the default is "turbo mode".
So all you might have to do is hold the option/alt key down while booting the computer with a charged up battery on power, you will then see a row of icons and you pick OS X to boot from.
Once in you head to System Preferences and set the Startup Disk, that will tell the firmware what to boot from again.
Try it and see if it works.
You can do more if your problem is not fixed.

Yes, if it was purchased new you have a 1 year warranty, despite who you bought it from (unless it's stolen goods)
However you should purchase AppleCare while your in the store for another 2 more years of coverage also a backup drive for TimeMachine to protect your data.

Losing bluetooth connection with keyboard and track pad

Every few minutes, I lose the connection between my wireless keyboard and track pad and the computer. Since its happening simultaneously, I don't think its an issue with either the trackpad or keyboard but bluetooth. I've tried turning my computer off and unplugging it and no dice. Its a real productivity kill right now. HELP!!!

Hey all - thanks. I've tried swapping batteries and my battery power is 100%. I've turned the computer off completely and back on. I've even unplugged it and turned off the keyboard and track pad.
My computer will not let me turn Bluetooth off. It give me a warning sign that I won't be able to use the computer and the only option is ok.
I'm also not having any luck finding out the RSSI levels to see if there's any interference. As far as I know, there are only three devices via blue tooth and I turned off one (my iPhone) and the only other two are the track pad and keyboard.
When I try to follow the RSSI instructions, the option - click doesn't do anything. Very frustrated and thinking I'll need to schedule time with Apple. Today has been very frustrating.

Droid blue tooth activation with ear phone

How can I get the phone to sync with the ear phone? Instructions say turn on blue tooth on phone - done. Turn ear piece on - done. use commands on phone to locate and select earpiece??? How do I find commands? If I tap the Bluetooth icon it just turns off.

Hi gcreichle. Both your phone and BT headset will need to be in discovery mode in order to connect. Check the instructions for your headset, which should have been included at the time of purchase. In regards to your phone, follow the instructions below:
1. Select Menu
2 .Wireless & Network
3. Bluetooth Settings
4. BT Device should be visible
5. Input passcode.
I'm confident that these steps will help! Have a great day!

I saw some threads that said that I should first install kb888111, and another likely thing, but i can't find the other one. I've downloaded the sound driver from the toshiba website; thanx for helping me in that field also.

Problem with keyboard and mouse pm8m-v

I have gotten this pm8m-v from a freind who knew nothing about computers. He had problems with the keyboard and mouse not responding at start up or just freeze on him. So I check it out, called MSI and even sent it to them, they claimed that there was nothing wrong with the board. So here are the specs of the computer now:
pm8m-v motherboard
2-256MB memory PC-2700 DDR 333Mhz
intel P4 2.6GHz
codegen power supply 300W
gateway CDW
western digital 40 harddrive
the rest is on board stuff
the problem is still there and it is driving me crazy, can you please help?

I had the same problem with the PM8M-V, today as a matter of fact, and I kept getting locked up at the point where I had to hit enter to load the WinXP CD to setup the system. After finding this topic I tried a different keyboard. The one that was being used was a Kennsiington PS2 cheapo, I swapped it for a Microsoft (one of those ergonomic styles and I've had it for a long time) Keyboard PS2, and the problem went away. I'm typing on the Kennsington right now, so it's fine just wasn't liked by the PM8M-V for some reason.

Helix will not connect with keyboard and touch pad

This is kind of wierd. It's been doing this since I've owned it. I have a Thinkpad USB 3.0 port replicator. When I get to work, I used to turn the screen around backwards on the keyboard and plug it into the PR. That way all you could see was the screen. Now I have a tablet stand and I remove it from the keyboard and set it in the stand. The problem I'm having is that when I have it reversed on the keyboard OR off of the keyboard all together for a period of time (say, 30 minutes) and I re-attach it to the keyboard, I can't use the keyboard or trackpad unless I press the power button for 20 seconds and hard reset the tablet. It see's the battery and plays the audio that tells me it see's it, but the pad and keyboard are unresponsive. It's frustrating. A standard reboot/restart will not fix the problem. I have made sure my tablet and keyboard have the latest BIOS and firmware updates.
SMBIOS - 2.7
UEFI Bios - 1.27
Embedded Controller Version - 1.21
It's frustrating to have to force a restart every single time I want to dock it after it's been off the keyboard for more than 20 minutes.
Any idea's?

Does Axis say it is compatible with a 4G iPod with iOS 6.1?
Sometimes this works
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Blue color balance with iSight and Java

I have seen this question posted before - with no real answers, only suggestions that had nothing to do with the problem. Here's whats going on - internal camera and any connected Firewire camera works fine on iChat, PhotoBooth, IMovie, etc. Use those same cameras - internal or external- on a Java based web page and the image shifts to a blue monochrome. Not the blue you get with incorrect color balance from lighting, but nothing but blue hues. I can take the same Firewire camera and hook it to my G4 laptop running the same OS (10.4.8) and it works fine on the Java sites. Problem only occurs with Intel iMac and ANY camera. The problem appears to be the way the OS intergrates with Java (via Quicktime, or is QT out of the picture when using Java?)) on the Intel computer.

I have looked on MacFixIt for both Blue Screen in Java and just Blue screen and have not turned up any results.

Problem with keyboard and IsReadOnly on a TextBox

The problem is that the Keyboard doesn't show up when focus on a TexBox following this steps:
1- On Page_Loaded set the TextBox property IsReadOnly = true (so you can't write/edit)
2- Try focus on the TextBox (important)
3- Tap a button that contains theTextBox.IsReadOnly = false;
4- Tap TextBox. Keyboard won't appear
This is on a Windows Phone 8.1 Runtime app
In fact it won't appear on any other control that previous had IsReadOnly = true, not only this TextBox

Hi SuNcO,
If I follow your step1->step2->step3->step4, then I can reproduce your issue in my side, if I follow your step1->step3->step4, then it works very well with the Keyboard.
I will do the further test and consult to see if there is any workaround.
Thanks for your understanding.

Amy Peng

Hey there,
I'm having this issue as well - although the steps are a little different.
I have a TextBox that's set to IsReadOnly = true in my XAML with a doubletap event wired to it.
I double tap the TextBox, the event fires and the IsReadOnly property gets set to true. However, I can't enter any text into the text box and the keyboard doesn't appear.

Random Blue Screen Crash with 5S and iOS 8.1

Since upgrading to iOS 8.0 my iPhone 5S randomly gets blue screens and then crashes and goes into a loop of boot up, blue screen, reboot, blue screen, reboot...etc. My 5S did this again today when during my upgrade to iOS 8.1 via USB and I was forced to do a factory restore on it. The blue screen is still occurring after the restore and 8.1 upgrade. Is this a known issue? I was hoping this was going to get fixed with 8.1 but unfortunately, it doesn't look like it has.

Same here,
yesterday i updated my 6 plus 64gb with iTunes.
After the update, my phone crashes (blue screen) in games (Maze Runner) and Safari.
I tried to downgrade to ios 8.0 because i didn't had any problem with 8.0 but iTunes says that the file is not valid "iPhone7,2_8.0_12A365_Restore"
HELP Apple,
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.1, MGAH2ZD/A model
