Bluetooth Mouse... buttons become unresponsive

Okay, when I got my Mac Pro a month or so ago I experienced the same issue that everyone else did with their bluetooth mighty mouse. But great news!.. Apple fixed it with an update not long ago!
But, I barely had time to be excited about having a bluetooth mighty mouse that worked as it should when Apple releases yet another bluetooth update in the last couple days that breaks it again! Arrrrgh! Now, every so often the buttons become unresponsive and I have to shut it off and back on again to get it to work. Apple... please don't tease us like this and re-fix what you had currently done right.
BTW, anyone else having this problem?

Hasn't done it even once ever since then. My Mac updated... restarted... bluetooth mighty mouse nightmare... and apparently 2nd shutdown and startup was the charm! I physically shut down my Mac so little and that's why it persisted I guess. Next time I have an issue I know to try that before I yell "fire" on the boards.

X61 Keyboard buttons becoming unresponsive

Hi, when I press either of the buttons above the left and right scroll buttons, the keyboard (excluding the windows button and CTRL ALT DEL) becomes unresponsive. Does anyone know how I can reverse this - and what are these buttons for? The buttons have a rectangle with left or right corner folded over. Thanks John

Linc, I did some testing and verified this only occurs when plugging in my iPhone 4 - the keyboard will intermittently die out and eventually become unavailable. Unplugging the iPhone solves the problem. Did Apple not supply enough power to the USB system to charge my iPhone and use a keyboard at the same time? Those are the only two devices connected...

Bluetooth mouse buttons do not respond but the mouse icon on the screen follows mouse movements.

Running 10.6.8 and replace my wireless mouse with a Microsoft 5000 Bluetooth. It works fine and then all of the suddon the left, right and wheel will not work. I replace with my usb apple mouse and it does the same. I also tried my old apple wireless mouse and it does the same thing. Can anyone shine some light on this issue. In order to fix I must reboot the computer.

I have test with my usb mouse and the same thing is happening as well. It usually happens when I click on an input field in chrome or safari.

Home Button Becoming Unresponsive

Ive had my iPod Touch 4th Generation for over a year now and the home button is beginning to stop working. It only works about half the time and even than, I must apply a fair amount of pressure to get a response. Is there any way I can fix this myself, do i have to get the piece replaced, or must get a whole new decive?

i would make a genius bar appointment (it's free) and see what they would do they will give you a free refurbished one and take the old one but see what apple would do you can also set up asistive touch and when you draw something on the screen it will direct you to the home screen it can be set up in settings>general>accessibility

I can't download any apps. The button becomes unresponsive

When I open the app store and go to click on either "Free" or "Purchase" it doesn't work. If I scroll down to the bottom where the pictures of the apps are it either doesn't load the pictures at all, or it loads the pictures but blows them up to a giant size.

Exactly same problem. This happened on my iphone 3GS after upgrade to IOS5. Does someone have the same problem and preferably a solution?

IPhone becoming unresponsive at times

My iPhone 3G 8gb is now freezing more frequently, for the past 2 days it froze 5 times. The buttons become unresponsive and so does the touchscreen, the only way i can turn it off is by pressing the homebutton and lockbutton for 10 seconds. I did upgrade the software hoping that the problem will fix but it still freezes.

Something has changed big time in the past month or two. The only way I can sync music the way I want to is to leave everything unchecked in the info page and checkselected playlists, albums, etc. on the music page.
And calendars and contacts are now only one way -- iMac to iPhone or iPad. It worked both ways until a month or so ago and there's *nothing* I can do to change that. I get duplicates on the iPhone when I've put the same title, date and time on both sites and it used to tell me there was a conflict, to choose which one, not it just copies from the iMac to the iPhone. I use the iPhone a lot to put in dates and contacts while I'm out and about but can't do that now since they don't get transferred to the iMac any more.
Someone, please help!

Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse Thumb Button

I'm the new owner of a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz that I just bought today. Along with it, I purchased the Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse which moves and operates beautifully. The only thing is that I can't figure out a way to program the thumb button. I've seen some complaints on the web from people from a few months back who were unable to resolve the issue. I was hoping someone here could shed some light for me.
Thanks for your thoughts and time.

I don't know what is happening with the forum but the images are not opening and I'm unable to edit my post, so I'm uploading them again:

Fireworks becomes unresponsive to mouse/tablet. So angry with Adobe right now!!!!

This is driving me nuts. Fireworks is slowly becoming a complete PITA to use. Becomes unresponsive to clicks, can't select anything, have to constantly click off the art board.... the list goes on. Move mouse over an object it gets highlighted, click to select? Nothing...... Can no longer copy/paste between AI and FW....
The thing is what the hell else are we supposed to use?!?! By shedding FW Adobe has completely left lots of us web designers high and dry. PS is an awful tool for Website design as is AI, what is so difficult about creating an app that works??
We all use AI and PS (most of us anyway) FW just had a way with dealing with Master page elements, Symbols, Pages and States that made designing a site relatively straight forward until they ditched it. Why? Nobody has a clue judging by the posts on here.
All they really would have to do is add the above mentioned features to AI and I'd be happy......
If anyone has worked out what has FW doing this lately i'd be delighted for the intel.
Peace...
</rant>

When Adobe "assimilated" Macromedia, FW's development and future was already in a dire state - Macromedia, as far as I know, was actually planning to ditch Fireworks. Adobe saved it from its early demise, after deciding to ditch their alternative ImageReadym and, luckily for us, continued to develop Fireworks. Image Ready was removed from their product catalog.
The way I see it (after having taught web dev and design classes for 15 years) Fireworks never reached a momentum outside a relatively small knowledgeable group of users. I kept promoting it instead of Photoshop and Illustrator, and after years and years I stopped doing exactly that: almost no-one in my groups had even heard of Fireworks prior to my classes. And only one or two individuals would be convinced to even try to use it for a while.
Just about ALL the web dev/design/front- end students I have known (thousands) either use Photoshop or Illustrator for mockups, wireframes, etc. Fireworks' existence was never even realized, let alone on their radar.
So, despite my best efforts I was able to sway perhaps a handful students to consider Fireworks in their workflow. Once they really got to grips with it, they did realize the advantages over Photoshop. In spite of that, most would return to Photoshop.
...and that is basically mirroring what happened to Fireworks in the real world. A relatively small number of enlightened users, but the lure of Photoshop and Illustrator, and the giant community and support base surrounding those two (especially Photoshop), effectively pulled 99.9% of users away from Fireworks,
It did not help Fireworks' cause that it filled a very niche market, because, let's face it, Photoshop is a far more powerful general art tool and image editor than Fireworks would ever be. Unless your work only entails web graphics, Photoshop is by far a more attractive general power house. And this holds true for Illustrator as well for vector work. The interoperability between the two with smart objects and the non-destructive workflow also helps.
In the end FW became an little-known appendix hanging on a thread by the support of a small group of users. Adobe made a very simple business decision: invest more resources and marketing, or not? Stopping development and support was the correct business decision.
I hate to say it (because I did love FW), but Fireworks is dead in the water since Adobe dropped the bomb in May 2013 that they stopped FW's development. You can stay aboard for a while longer, but, as you have experienced with all those issues starting to pop up, the hull is rotting, and it will not be long before it becomes a sinking ship. I think it already is sinking. No new updates or any support is given, and support sites for FW are slowly, but steadfastly pulling the plug.
As for myself, I moved away from Adobe software starting two years ago, because I read the signs on the wall. I never expected Fireworks to stick around for as long as it did anyway based on my experiences in both the industry and teaching. I now use alternatives that in some aspects are much of an improvement, and in some ways are inferior to Fireworks. You cut your wins and losses, I guess.
Honestly, Fireworks was already lagging behind the curve of modern web development anyway. Better to lay it to rest, in my opinion.

MPro, 10.7.5 mouse/keyboard intermittently become unresponsive

I am running OS 10.7.5 on a 2009 Mac Pro and recently the mouse started to intermittently become unresponsive. I usually can fix this by conecting the mouse to a different usb port but last time it happened this didn't work and I also lost the keyboard. I switched both mouse and keyboard and problem persisted, even when moving to different usb ports. After several hard reboots the mouse and keyboard came back and has been working since. I know the second mouse and keyboard are good and I am able to ptint from all the usb ports on the Mac Pro so I son't think it's a hardware problem. Could this be some kind of driver conflict? There are two canon usb printer drivers installed and two network printers )Lexmark and Brother). I have been running software update regularly. No other problems and I do regular disk maintenance (Diskwarrior). There are two SSDs and two hard drives installed, 32 GB ram. No problems with any hardware that I know of. Could a memory error? Thanks in advance for any ideas as to cause or insights into tracking it down appreciated.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

N8 Bluetooth UI becomes unresponsive

Hello
I have a small problem with my N8 and bluetooth headsets.
As I make the connection via bluetooth, usually the phone's UI becomes unresponsive for about 5 min and after that it works. Can't lock it, can't do nothing, I just have to wait until it I can use it again.
It ain't because of the headset as I use two different, BH-904 and BH-505.
Getting a bit frustrated with this but don't want to take it to the Nokia Care until I have tried everything.
So Suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

@Toivoja
Presumably running Symbian Anna upon your N8 you could try deleting all existing pairings upon both N8 and headsets and try again; only tend to use my N8 with handsfree carkit but haven't experienced such UI issues.
Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

Nothing YOU cand do. You'll need to bring the phone to Apple for replacement.

Bluetooth mouse connection without pushing "connect" button on mouse

Hello,
In Ubuntu with gnome the pc would connect automatically to my logitech bluetooth mouse, without me having to push the "connect" button on the mouse.
The only way I've found now to connect to my mouse is by running
sudo hidd --search
*and* clicking the "connect" button on the mouse. I would like to:
1) not need sudo. Without sudo I get
renato@tosharch:~$ hidd --search -t 0
Searching ...
Connecting to device 00:07:61:D1:87:B0
HID create error 13 (Permission denied)
2) not need to push the "connect" button on the mouse, so i could add the command to my ~/.xinitrc and have the mouse automatically recognized
what am I missing?

ThinkPad Bluetooth Laser Mouse buttons stop working

I'm back using a USB mouse since my Lenovo Win 8.1 mouse stopped left clicking.
New batteries and the following:
I have tried a second Lenovo Bluetooth mouse new out of the box with similar results.
And I have done the delete device and add device, uninstall software, reinstall all to no effect.
Am I doomed to having a cable on my desktop or a dongle occupying a USB port?
The problem just seemed to happen in the middle of using the mouse.
I also did a Win Reset without success.

Hello,
I've been using a Lenovo N700 Mouse with my W530 and while it took a little getting used to compared to my old mouse (Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000), it's working quite well for me.

HP X4000b Bluetooth Mouse (H3T50AA) stops working if not moved for a while, then computer crashes

I will be very happy if someone answers this, 'cos from all the other related posts, my outlook is pretty bleak. At least give me the thumbs up for trying, or a little human contact. Proof this post existed.
Alright, I (fairly) recently updated to windows 8.1on my Samsung quad-core notebook - Model is NP905S3G
For the full info- see the picture.
Anyway, the problem is, that ever since I installed Windows 8.1, if I don't move the mouse for around 1minute when it is on (i.e. I just leave it still for 1 min because I'm typing stuff), it stops working. Moving the mouse simply doesn't do anything. If I look on the 'devices' screen, it is still shown as connected, and I can try re-connecting it, but it doesn't work. Turning on and off doesn't work. Pressing that little blue 'connect' button doesn't seem to do anything normally, and in this case, does nothing. Un-installing and re-installing the mouse does not permanently solve the problem (but does restore connectivity, at least until I leave the mouse idle for too long again)
Currently, once the mouse has stopped moving on the screen, I press the power button (which for me makes my computer sleep). When I do this 1 of 2 things happen; either it goes to sleep as instructed, or it stays on indefinitely, and I have to hold the power button for 5 seconds to do an emergency shut-down. This is a pain, especially since nothing is saved, and the computer takes extra-long to turn on the next time.
The real problem is this: about five minutes after the mouse becomes unresponsive, the computer crashes. It is during this five minute period that I can save all my stuff, but if I have been typing non-stop, I may not even notice that the mouse has stopped moving, and so the computer often crashes at unpredictable times. This of course is a major annoyance, and what’s more, sometimes just when I click a link my mouse freezes, and I have to restart my computer or let it crash.
The crash message is DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE, and comes on a blue screen with a message saying the computer is collecting some error info, and a silly little smiley face. I have come to hate that smiley face.
If you’ve read this far, thank you very much, PLEASE FIND A SOLUTION, MY MOUSE IS PRETTY UNUSABLE AT THE MOMENT
PS. When I feel it is too risky to use a mouse, I use the touchpad. The setting where tapping=clicking really annoys me, and I also don’t like the inverted scrolling. I change these settings on my preferences, but for some reason they are never saved once I turn my computer on. They used to be saved before updating from Windows 8 to 8.1. Any suggestions?

Not actually solved. The problem still happens and isn't limited to me or my headset.
I just want this question out of my sidebar and this is the only way to do that!

Tiger becoming unresponsive

I'm running Tiger 10.4.2 and every now and then the system will become unresponsive. The unresponsiveness grows exponentially with respect to the time it started. The clock on the menubar updates in minutes instead of seconds. You can do things but the % CPU usage for system processes is at 102%. So clicking on a dock icon may take a minute or more. The funny thing is you can choose a cocoa application's window and move it around the screen just as fast as possible (ie: terminal with opacity) and it performs as fast as one would expect. The CPU cooling fan never ramps up. So it seems that part of the system is working just fine. Most of the time you have to hold down the power button and reset the machine. Two or Three time I was able to recover from this condition. Once by quitting a running java application.
At first I suspected the 5.0 JVM, but I've seen it happen without running (at least to my knowledge) the JVM at all. Lately, I've been suspicious of Virtual PC 7.0.2 running Windows XP but haven't been able to confirm it.
I've talked to Apple and Microsoft, but no help there.
Has anybody seen this at all, and been able to isolate the problem?

I installed Virtual PC 7 "stand alone" Sunday, upgraded to 7.02 and imported Win98 and Win2K PC's from Connectix Virtual PC 5.x (hadn't used for quite some time). I tried upgrading IE on the Win2k VM and shortly thereafter all but the mouse became unresponsive. After two Hard resets my 60G boot drive wouldn't boot, or even show up in Disk Utility when booting off another drive(also Tiger 10.4.2). I got it mounted in the external firewire box, but Disk Utility couldn't repair it, and even the other Boot of Tiger became unresponsive (though not as completely). My first thought was that Virtual PC killed my system: it's the first upgrade I've bought since Microsoft took it over from Connectix, and naturally I was skeptical. but after having so much trouble fixing the drive I thought maybe it was just an incredible coincidence - having had no major drive trouble for years. After reformatting the drive, however, it seems to behave just fine (too soon to tell for sure), which led me back to searching for Virtual PC 7 and Tiger links in this discussion.
By the way, I installed VPC 7 (not the 7.02 upgrad) on a different G4 running 10.3.9 Tuesday, installed win2k, upgraded IE to 6.? and it has been working flawlessly - so far.
