Bluetooth keyboard works OK, but keyboard startup codes are gone?

I replaced my corded keyboard a couple months ago with a wireless model. I have two HDs and a separate startup partition on one for doing disk utility tasks, but now, with the wireless keyboard, it is impossible to do a Startup-Option to bring up the startup-disk options, nor can I do a Cmd-Opt-P-R to zap the PRAM, nor can I Cmd-Shift to do a Safe Boot. All are impossible with my shiny new wireless keyboard. Even after I downloaded and installed the Bluetooth Firmware Update to take care of this very problem. Anybody got any suggestions?
PM G5 PPC   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   1.5 GB RAM; 150GB & 250GB HDs

I got the word on this problem from an Applecare helper-That's The Way Things Are. The Blutooth handshake doesn't happen until well into the startup sequence. In order to use the boot-up codes I will need to connect a USB keyboard to the G5 before restart. Great. I had hoped that I was past that.

  • HT1414 How do I get recent pictures back if I restored my old iPhone and it brought back the old pictures but the new ones are gone

    How do I get recent pictures back if I restored my old iPhone and it brought back the old pictures but the new ones are gone?!?

    Sorry your pictures are gone. 
    you should be doing this for all your pictures/videos http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083  that way you can sync it back via itunes.

  • I imported files from an external hard drive to Itunes on a new computer.  they imported & play fine, but the ratings & playlists are gone & i am unable to update any info.  I found a file name playlist on old drive & imported now most files are missing!

    Can you locate the iTunes Library.itl file on the old drive? Ideally you would have simply copied over the entire iTunes folder structure from <User's Music> on the old computer into <User's Music> on the new one to transfer the library will all playlists, ratings, play counts etc. intact.

    I updated my ipod touch to version 5.0.1 but all my apps are gone!!
    Why are all my apps gone? I really want them back, i was rated #4 of all time on one game!

    Are the Apps still in your iTunes library?  If they are simply make sure they are configured to sync to your iPod still.  See this article for more details.

  • Imac bluetooth not working with apple keyboard or magic mouse

    Brand new imac won't connect to the bluetooth apple keyboard or magic mouse. I bought a usb keyboard and mouse to finish setup, but still cannot get them to connect. I tried going to system preferences, bluetooth, and trying to connect that way. I got halfway through the bluetooth keyboard setup until the connection failed. In the bluetooth setup assistant it cannot find any devices, despite them being in "discovery mode."
    I tried connecting the mouse to my macbook pro and it worked fine, so I feel it is something wrong the the Imac's bluetooth.
    Any guesses what might be going wrong here?

    This fits with the observable results, however it does seem a little odd. The apple engineers coud have at least written the software to say something like, " I see an Iphone, but I can't do anything with it." Currently, it seem to behave like there is a problem with bluetooth connectivity. Not that the bluetooth is working fine, it just has nothing it can do with the two devices.
    What you are trying to say has no sens. Check Apple TV manual and informations what bluetooth on this device is for and what options is giving to you before blaiming engineers for not making something straight.
    Apple Tv 3rd (and 2nd) generation doesn't have a built-in storage and is more as a streaming device not syncing device. I suggest you read about Apple TV 3rd gen features and functionalyty and also about home sharing, airplay and airplay mirroring, apple remote app.

  • HT201272 I had Pages and many documents associated with it on my generation 1 ipad. I just got an ipad Air. I downloaded Pages to my new ipad but all my documents are gone. How do I go about getting them back. My old ipad was backed up to my computer.

    I am trying to locate my old documents from my generation 1 ipad. I downloaded Pages to my ipad Air but my documents are gone. I did back up my old ipad to my computer but I didn't restore my back up to the new ipad. I wanted to start fresh. How do I go about getting just my Pages documents from that backup and by the way, how do I access that back up?

    You will need to restore the backup - just downloading the app from the store won't give you its contents from a preivous device, you will need to restore the whole backup onto your new iPad (which will replace its current contents) to get the app's content.

  • IPad 2, ios7, all but 4 random icons are gone.

    Overnight, all but 4 of the iPad icons are gone, including Settings, Safari and all the default icons that came with the iPad. The device is not jail broken or modified. Tried a reset (home/off) and 2 icons came back - texting, and a random game - so now I have six. Tried searching the iPad and they're not there. I had the iPad backed up to my PC (Win 7), which of course due to Murphy's law was recently wiped by my IT department (and they also nuked iTunes that wasn't supposed to happen) and the iPad weirdness happened before I had a chance to reload iTunes on my PC. Any thoughts? The device has never been dropped or harmed. Any advice would be most appreciated. Thank you.

    Thanks!  I was just figured this out myself too.  I was moving the app around and accidentally move one app over another and then it asks to create a folder name.  Wow, I wasn't think that possible but this is way too easy.  I can completely manage to organize my apps in my PB.  Hmmm...I better dig into the user guide for more tricks.  I love OS 2.0 now.   Way to go RIM...

  • HT4528 I was in a pub in Scotland & used their wi-fi.  An update offer that looked legit came up & I did it.  Took several minutes, everything seems to be working OK except all my contacts are gone.  Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    I'll give those drivers a try the next time I install Windows 8. However I still don't understand how they would be any different to what is included in Boot Camp Assistant that came with Mountain Lion. Can you or anyone else confirm that they are different?
    Can you also confirm that you have the Bluetooth radios in Device Manager and that you can discover Bluetooth devices under Windows.
    Last question - do you run more than 1 partition in Windows?

  • Updated to ios 5.1, but all my files are gone? What to do?

    I updated my 3rd gen ipod touch to ios 5.1, but all my files and notes that i saved on notes app are gone, I try to restore them in an earlier date, but I still can't get them back, is there another way i can get it back? These notes are very important to me, and it would be best if I can get them back.
    My apps are fine, i got them back, but i was hoping if i can get all my old settings and all my old datas back.
    Can anyone help me?

    Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "no" to creating a backup.  (You don't want to overwrite the backup file with blank data.)  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPod.  This time, say "yes."

  • Keyboard Works OK - But what happened to Copy/Paste Text?

    Ability to Copy/Paste Text is a MUST if you want to search the Internet...

    It's a must if you want to be able to maintain lists on your phone and freely/easily re-org them at will.
    Unless they gave us a drag-able checklist like Apple's insanely great Notes & collapsible checklist/outliner feature from the Newton (see <<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Newton#Notes">this>) then I'd be happy.
    We presume someday you'll be able to request stuff like this for iPhone via

  • Bluetooth not working, activating but not connecting

    My blackberry 8310, when I turn on the bluetooth it finds my other devices (macbook and Samsung mobile ) but when I try and send to send files to my blacberry from these devices it keeps coming up, connection failed.  I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong?  Does anyone have any ideas.
    Many Thanks

    Transferring a file from your PC ( or other BT enabled device) to your BB is not "passive" once paired.  You have to go into the appropriate program and from the program's menu select Receive using Bluetooth.
    So if you are transferring mobile to mobile...pair them
    Sending unit "Send using Bluetooth"
    Receiving unit "Receive using Bluetooth"
    Sending unit of course can be a PC with BT capability.
    Remember just because they are paired doesn't mean it will receive it automatically.
    If sending from computer I find it eaier to connect via USB and drag and drop.....

  • My iphone 3S camera was working fine, but now the pics are getting very blurry. I've already tried cleaning the lens. What else should I try doing?

    My iphone 3GS pics are getting really blurry. At first it didn't happen. I`ve tryed cleaning the lens, but it didn`t work. What else should I try doing?

    I would call Apple tech support, which is excellent.  Or take the phone to your local Apple store - not AT&T or Verizon, as the Apple techs specialize in Apple products and are somewhat fanatical about them.
    Regarding the photos, they are probably still on the simm card in the phone and recoverable.  Check with the Apple folks to get them back... sorry about your pet!

  • IPod updated, but now iTrip stations are gone...HELP!

    When I updated my iTunes to the newest one, all of my songs and the iTrip stations disappeared. I found my songs on my computer, but I can't find my iTrip stations and I can't find the disc from when I first installed it. Any suggestions? Is there some site that I can download the iTrip stations? Or am I completely out of luck?

    I'm sorry, but I do not know how to get your stations back, although I'm sure you can.
    However, you do not need the stations for the iTrip to work (although I do know that sometimes you do need to change the station).
