Bluetooth technology: Palm (syncing issue) - Keyboard - Mouse

I have a palm TX (Garnet 5.0) which I had set up to sync via bluetooth through the hotsync application which accompanied the pda. It worked fine. Then I got a wireless Apple bluetooth keyboard and mighty mouse. After the set up of these two devices I could no longer wirelessly sync my palm (or could sync on a very hit or miss basis and then it most likely fails mid sync). Any ideas to try?

Same here unfortunately. Bluetooth mouse was working ok, until this most recent Bluetooth patch that I installed (which I hoped would fix some lesser Bluetooth flakiness), but now things actually got worse!
While the Bluetooth icon indicates the mouse is attached, I actually have to disconnect and connect it to get it to work when I unsleep my MacBook.
It also sometimes stops working... apparently when I some web pages?!

  • 4 questions: at login black rectangular box, appears and speaks- 2 annoying black box over text- 3 bluetooth doesnt always pick up keyboard/mouse at login- 4 dock disappears and reappears at will

    Here we go,
    1) at login a black rectangular box with white text appears and voice over seems to be on (even though its switched off)
    2) after login an annoying black square surrounds the cursor
    3) upon waking computer from sleep the bluetooth doesn't pair with the keyboard or mouse (I usually just power them both off and then back on and this seems to work)
    4) the dock disappears and reappears on its own even though "hide the dock" is not checked

  • Car Kit Bluetooth on Palm Pre Issue

    I have connected by Palmpre to a Bluetooth visor car kit.  However, as soon as I get an incoming call, Bluetooth goes into card view and therefore disconnects! Samething happens if I try and make an outgoing call.  It is impossible to leave Bluetooth screen on full view so how on earth can I use this in the car??? Any ideas???

    Hello bravo45 and welcome to the forums,
    The Pre will only display devices it is compatible with.  Currently those devices are Audio devices and A2DP devices.  any other devices, like some cell phones and computers it may see them, but won't display them as a device it can pair with.  This compatibility list is growing and changing.  They have now expanded it to many karkits on the market.

  • Can't sync bluetooth mobile phone with wireless keyboard or mouse

    Hi,
    I can't sync my mobile phone (K750) when I am working with my wireless keyboard and my wireless mighty mouse.
    When I start the sync progress I loose contact to my mouse & keyboard....the sync progress starts with the mobile phone, but after transferring some data it also looses contact to the phone, so the sync interrupts. After some seconds I get back in contact to my mouse & keyboard.
    When I turn off my wireless mouse & keyboard and I am using a wired keyboard & mouse instead everything is working fine!
    Any ideas????
    Many greetings,

    this happens alot, use a usb2 flash drive (not usb3) and as a precaution for other issues, also disconnect any other usb devices except your kb and mouse

  • Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse/Trackpad won't automatically connect after installing Boot Camp

    Hey guys!
    Another peculiar thing happened to me today with my 3-week-old maxed-out 2012 iMac (other than it kernel panicking when I powered it down the other day...did I mention this was 3 weeks old?).
    After installing Boot Camp which I will never do again, my iMac (on the OS X side) no longer recognizes my stock Apple Wireless Keyboard, Magic Trackpad, or Magic Mouse automatically, until I press a button on the keyboard and wait 5 seconds, click the trackpad and wait 5 seconds, or click the mouse and wait 5 seconds.
    (The Windows 8 Boot Camp side pairs with the devices immediately after Windows boots, which leads me to believe that the bluetooth devices are defaulting to look for Windows.)
    One of my huge fears I had when considering purchasing an iMac is that the Bluetooth devices wouldn't immediately connect. Being a power-user with former Mac notebooks and working understandably fast having owned a web development company for 8 years now and not having to worry about Bluetooth device pairing, I'd like to think this fear is substantiated. But after first use (before installing Windows 8 with Boot Camp Assistant) it functioned normally and the iMac would automatically discover my peripherals and connect them by the time time computer turned on. I also had no trouble holding the Option key on boot to select a boot device....
    Now, ever since I set up Windows 8 on the Boot Camp partition and paired the keyboard/mouse/trackpad to Windows, the Mac side completely ignores the keyboard/mouse/trackpad until I click a button on each.
    I'm trying to keep it together but this is raging me out.
    I went into Windows, immediately unpaired the 3 peripherals from windows and now use a wired keyboard/mouse with Windows (yay, desk space!), deleted the items entirely from the bluetooth panel, then booted to Mac and did the same thing. I then re-paired the devices to the OS X side andddd...no go! Still doesn't find them automatically. I am extremely upset by this and can't seem to fix it.
    To summarize, my two issues are:
    A. The iMac in OS X does not automatically recognize my bluetooth peripherals until I click a button on each and wait a couple seconds for them to pair.
    B. I cannot hold Option to select a boot device (or choose Windows/Mac for example) because the computer doesn't recognize the keyboard until OS X boots and I press a key.
    Please...for the love of god...someone help me, and stop me from formatting my entire computer over this issue.

    I don't have a logitech mouse, but is it possible that the mouse is going to sleep during the reboot, and is thus unavailable when the OS is looking for it?

  • 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.

  • Keyboard, mouse, usb, bluetooth stop working, computer freezes

    I have a 2009 MacBook Air.  Over the weekend, out of nowhere, the computer froze up where the keyboard and mouse would not work.  Plugging in a USB device and/or trying to use a previously paird BT device also failed.
    I was, however, able to remotely access the computer since I had previously set it up with LogMeIn.  By doing this, the computer had full functionality but external peripherals were not recognized.
    Using the remote session, I was able to fire off a backup and send it to a network drive (which was an overnight task, but at least I still have the latest data).
    I took it to the apple store and, upon starting it up, all worked fine! We restarted it at the genius bar and the problem occurred again.  When the logon screen appeared, the mouse and keyboard were unrespnosive.  Restarting holding down any optoin+Key combos did nothing because they keyboard was not being recognized.
    Then we restarted again and it worked. 
    So, basically, the problem is interemittent.  They offered the repair depot flat fee cost of $280 that would fix the unit no matter what part(s) had to replaced.  It's looking more and more like a logic board issue, but it doesn't make sense that it's only some of the time and others it works fine.  So I took it home to try a few more things.
    I was able to get it started up using command R and did a full disk erase, followed by a Mountain Lion re-install.  I also did a NVRAM reset.  That seemed to work for a few minutes, but then it froze up again, although Mountain Lion kept running the install.  Once the install finished, I force shut down the unit and started it up again and the keyboard/mouse were working again.
    I plugged in an external USB drive, configured bluetooth and started restoring files.  It worked for a full day and then the next morning, it happened again.  At this point, the keyboard/mouse froze, the bluetooth devices became disconnected and the USB drive dropped - all at the same time. 
    So, a full reinstall of the OS didn't work (I was somehow hoping this was software related). 
    Any other thoughts? Should I bite the bullet and just do the flat fee repair?

    HI,
    Try resetting the SMC, instructions here. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
    Try resetting the PRAM/NVRAM, instructions here. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    Try deleting this file. com.apple.bluetooth.plist /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.
    Hopefully something will help.

  • No Bluetooth keyboard/mouse Option Anymore?

    I was just configuring a 20" iMac, and noticed we no longer have the option to choose the wireless keyboard/Mighty Mouse.
    When did Apple remove this option from the iMac? I see it's available with the MacPro, but not the iMac.
    When I bought my current iMac 2 years ago I configured it the the Bluetooth keyboard/mouse.
    Is the Bluetooth keyboard and/or mouse not working well with the Intel iMacs?

    That's kind of what I'm thinking as well...maybe they realized it costs them more?
    Another possibility is that the BT keyboard/mouse has some issues with the Intel iMacs they haven't been able to resolve...so they pulled that option as a way of "discouraging" sales of iMacs configured that way?

  • Boot Mac Mini w/Bluetooth without Keyboard/Mouse attachted

    Hi,
    I´m trying to boot a Mac Mini with Bluetooth without any Keyboard/Mouse attachted to it.
    It doesn´t work. Every time the Mac stucks at looking for Bluetooth devices.
    Running 10.4.11
    Any ideas?
    Thanks a lot,
    seb

    already tried this one!
    That would have been helpful to know from the beginning so we don't waste our time with things you've already tried. What else have you already tried to troubleshoot this situation?
    Maybe you need to delete that preference file, as it's clearly not working correctly? This file is not in your own user's home folder, but in the root "Library" folder in this path:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
    Put that file in the Trash, restart, log back in, delete the trash, and uncheck the option again in the System Preferences. Does it stick now? Or have you tried that already too?

  • X100e keyboard/mouse issues

    Hi Folks,
    I've been having trouble with my recently purchased x100e (running Windows 7), and I'm hoping that someone may be able to help me out. I've been looking through the forums and on the web for solutions, but no luck.
    Starting a few days ago, I notice that whenever I press a button on the keyboard, a dialog box pops up to ask me if I want to display the Trackpoint Guide. This prevents me from typing anything longer than one keystroke, because the dialog box just comes back when I hit the next key regardless of pressing "Yes" or "No." Additionally, whenever I press a key, the cursor changes from the standard pointer to the scroll icon that would display if I was pressing the middle mouse/scroll button above the trackpad. Furthermore, the middle mouse/scroll button above the trackpad no longer works when pressed.
    I have noticed that it is possible to disable the Trackpoint dialog box from coming up by clicking the "do not display this message" option, but the cursor issue persists no matter what. The laptop is hardly a month old. I use antivirus, anti-spyware, etc. I have tried updating the mouse/trackpoint driver and also rolling it back to the originally installed driver, but neither step seems to resolve the issue. I thought that perhaps I had inadvertently changed some of the mouse settings, so I did a factory reset on the machine. Unfortunately, that didn't solve the issue either. I did an extra factory reset just to make sure. I've run anti-virus and anti-malware scans to see if anything would show up, but nothing does. This one really has me perplexed. If there's anyone out there who could offer any advice, I'd really appreciate it.
    Thanks!

    Hi onlylive2x,
    Welcome to Lenovo Forums.
    Could you try doing a factory reset without installing any antivirus or antispyware and see if there are any keyboard/mouse issues? This could be some software which is causing a conflict with the mouse drivers.

  • Bootcamp Keyboard/Mouse Mapping Issues

    Hi Apple Community,
    I am using a Macbook Air running Bootcamp for Windows 7.  I am running into a few keyboard/mouse issues that I am hoping to find a solution to with the main one in the title.  Could some please help me to understand how I can perform the following actions in Windows on a MacbookAir when running Bootcamp:
    1.  "Ctrl-Shift-Z" does not work?
    2.  "Ctrl-Alt-Delete" does not work?
    3.  Is there a way to reverse the mouse direction so that it operates like the MAC OS?
    4.  Is there a way to turn down the sensitivity of the Mouse for the "Touch Click" feature?
    Thank you for the help!

    I run the same system (MBA with Win7), except that I wiped my mac partition out entirely.
    2)Ctrl-Alt-Delete works fine on my machine. I can't imagine  why that wouldn't be working. Have you checked the User Accounts control  panel to see if it's disabled somehow? Does Ctrl-Shift-Esc still bring  up the task manager?
    3)Have you tried using the "Mouse" control panel regarding number 3, which lets you reverse the mouse buttons? Assuming that's what you meant by reversing directions.
    4)Regarding number 4, I would say that if it's too sensitive, your best bet is to just turn it off in the "Boot Camp" control panel. I don't think there's a way to adjust the sensitivity.
    I think I have been of very limited help. I hope some other people jump in on this one.

  • Microsoft Bluetooth 2.0 Elite keyboard + Mouse

    Hi,
    I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how well (or even if) the "Microsoft Bluetooth 2.0 Elite keyboard + Mouse" work with a bluetooth enabled Mac mini?
    Any info would be great.
    Cheers,
    A.

    Well, I can not answer your question about a mac mini and this particular keyboard/mouse but I can describe my experience with this microsoft combo and iMac G4 with D-Link bluetooth stick (Microsoft bluetooth stick does not work!!!).
    Setup was a breeze - my mac has recognized the mouse and keyboard in an instant, paired with the keyboard and mouse (just asked me to enter the random 6 digit on the keyboard and press Enter).
    Now to usage experiences:
    Mouse: All buttons work as expected, you can program additional functions (like Expose or whatever you like to the extra buttons (They show up as mouse button 3 (wheel click), 4 and 5. Mouse is pretty responsive, maybe a bit too responsive, so I had to move the Sensitivity slider slightly down.
    Keyboard: all the dedicated buttons (Favorities, Messenger, email etc) do not work except for: Volume up/down, mute and Standby (pressing this one gives you standard window with Shutdown/Restart/Sleep options). Scroll wheel works fine (also sideways - on mouse too!!!)
    Shortcomings:
    1. Moving mouse or pressing any key on the keyboard will not wake up the mac from sleep - you'll have to use On switch in the back of your mac.
    2. After waking up it takes about 10 to 20 seconds for mouse and keyboard to connect - after few trials my method to connect is as follows: after 10 to 20 seconds after waking the mac from sleep move the mouse and click (mouse connects) then press any key on the keyboard to connect the keyboard.
    3. When changing users, sometimes I get the dialog "Please press the the key next to the left shift key" (or something like that ) (I guess this is the way system X recognizes what keyboard it has to do with )
    If you can live with whose limitations, this maybe keyboard for you (mine was a gift, so I just got used to it and use Butler for programming the function keys)

  • Looking for update on Palm 5.2.1 sync issues

    Wondering what the offical word is on the Palm OS 5.2.1 sync issue? Is there an ETA for the upgraded conduit?

    however we will only look into supporting the new
    Palm features (i.e. location, URL, birthday, address,
    etc.) in a subsequent release.Quite disapointing. Both Oracle Calendar and Palm are only
    interesting if they work closely together and mutally
    support all features.
    Another feature I would very much like to have is
    network synchronization directly with
    the server and not passing via this little executable
    on the PC.
    This would make Ocal/Palm support independent from the
    OS. (I use vmware to just run this executable, a lot of
    waste of resources.)

  • Bluetooth keyboard, mouse and trackpad not responding after 10.8.5 update

    I updated to 10.8.5 on my iMac this morning.  The update has killed my trackpad, mouse and (presumably) keyboard as well.
    OS X will boot to the log on screen but the mouse pointer is stuck in the top left of the screen.  Trying keyboard, mouse or trackpad obtains no results.  Switching the bluetooth devices off and on, will obtain a connection lost and connected on the screen but still the pointer will not respond.
    I have tried hard booting to computer twice now and it has not resolved this.  As of right now I am totally unable to use my iMac due to the software update as I have no wired keyboards or mice.
    Help!

    Maybe they will work in the Safe Mode.Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application uninstaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • Security Cables for Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse

    I am installing the Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse in a public kiosk and wonder what suggestions you have for securing these devices without a security cable lock slot.
    The building is fully secure and we have a motion sensor IP cam setup in our booth, so I think minimal (deterrent) strength would be sufficient. They will be secured to a lectern that itself will have a thick cable attached to the floor or wall. I've seen the tufnut adhesive cables online, but I don't know their quality/cheapness.
    Our products are high end, we're using 50"+ 1080p LCDs and are going for a full luxury feel, the tufnut line just looks like it could be a bit tacky.
    Does Apple have an official recommendation on how to secure the Bluetooth keyboard/mouse?
    Thanks!!

    Hello zg:
    If you want an "official" comment, it would be best to ask your question at an Apple store. I have no suggestions as I have not needed to do what you describe.
