Boot camp will not recognize wireless keyboard/mouse - will they work with a 32bit version of Windows?

I have a new iMac 21.5" - 4GB ram, 3.60 GZ processor. Installed bootcamp partition with Win 7 Pro 64 bit - it was sealed box. Could not get it to recognize the bluetooth keyboard/mouse that came with the unit last Thursday.
From page 5 of the instructions, "What You Need" - The Keyboard and mouse or trackpad that came with your computer. (if they are not available use a USB keyboard and mouse.)
I did follow all the instructions for getting the drivers installed. Went to all sources of info on the subject from Apple support, internet discussions and forums. It seems that it is a common and seemingly unsolveable problem that Apple does not yet have a solution for.
The question - will the 32 bit Windows 7 Pro have the same problem?
BruceM

You need 3.1 or better yet the drivers from Lion and Boot Camp 4.0
BC 2.x was only for Vista and XP
You don't actually "run" Boot Camp 2.x as much as partition with the Assistant, and install motherboard support drivers to Windows.
"I am USING Boot Camp 2.x"
You're running Windows -- natively.

New mac mini system will not recognize wireless keyboard and trackpad.

My brand new mac mini system will not initialize properly. The return on the track pad are not being recognized, although scrolling is. Any others find this? Support could not figure this out on the phone. They sent me out to get new batteries and now they are closed. Batteries have been changed and still nothing.

My Mac MINI gave me one heck of a time trying to get it to recognize my Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. both Apple brand.
I finally had to connect an old USB mouse and keyboard to get the silly thing to connect.
Don't forget to repair permissions.
I also had to shut the computer down and start it back up a couple of times before it would connect. I think it has to do with the new Bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology.
I also turned off my Bluetooth devices and turned them on again, then I pulled the batteries out a couple of times and tried again and again.
I also put in new battries even thiough the ones I replaced were about a week old.
Finally, the MINI recognised the mouse and keyboard.
I wish I could tell you which thing did the trick.

I purchased a used Ipod touch 4th gen and my computer (Windows XP) recognizes it as a camera but Itunes will not recognize the ipod. Old ipod works and connects fine. Any suggestions?

Well, there is always the possibility that it's been jailbroke, in which case, you're out of luck. However...

Boot camp, does not recognise wireless mouse and keyboard

I have installed windows 4 times, after the installation the wireless keyboard and mouse stop responding! I guess lots of people have had this problem but I cannot see any solution! If I buy a USB mouse would it work?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
the problems with wireless keyboads/mouse and BootCamp Windows are well known.
The problem seem to be that the pairing of the keyboard/mouse with the Mac seems to be randomly forgotten by Windows.
An official statement and/or solution from Apple is yet to be seen.
I assume that you did install the Windows Drivers from the OSX DVD, right ?
Personally I have never used wireless keyboards/mouse, not even in my PC-heydays.
Right now I use the Apple USb-keyboard and a Logitech USB-Mouse.
Sorry for not better answer.
Regards
Stefan

All of sudden the airport utility on the iMac will not recognize wireless devices that have on network for ever

Airport Utility will not recognize any of the devices on the network - mix of Time Capsule, Airport Extreme, and Airport Express. The network works fine. If you use the Airport Utility on iphone you can see and configure all the devices. Any clues?

AirPort Utility version 6.0 is rather limited in its abilities. I suggest you download and install the more useful version 5.6 (for Lion): AirPort Utility 5.6
You can see both wired and wireless clients in Advanced > Logs and Statistics.
AirPort Utility 6.0 cannot be deleted but it will coexist with AirPort Utility 5.6.
Use 6.0 when you want pretty pictures. Use 5.6 when you actually want to do something.

USB port 1 will not recognize a keyboard or a mouse

Hi,
I recently purchased a 2011 Mac Mini. Upon purchasing it, I was using a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse combo with one of the mini receivers plugged into the first (far left) USB port on the back of the Mini. All worked fine, until I went to upgrade to an Apple wired keyboard.
I powered down the Mini, unplugged the Logitech receiver and plugged the Apple keyboard into the same port, and then powered back up. Upon reaching the Login screen, the keyboard was not responding to keystrokes at all, and no lights would come on for caps lock. I tried the second port, which happened to work just fine, as do the other two.
Now, no matter what I do, the system still thinks I have an unidentified keyboard attached and will not allow ANY other devices plugged into the first USB port to communicate with my Mini. Anything I plug into it only receives power through the port, no I/O can take place.
Is there something I'm overlooking here? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have already tried plugging the Logitech receover back in, and lo and behold the Logitech keyboard and mouse will work on that port. I've tried taking the batteries out of the mouse and keyboard while the receiver is plugged in and the Mini is turned on. I've tried plugging in and then removing the receiver with the Mini on, and then using that port for the Apple keyboard... no luck.
Thanks in advance!
Chris

Did you turn Speakable Items Off?
System Preferences/Speech/Speech Recognition Turn if Off.
If that isn't the issue. Shut down your Mac. Disconnect your mouse and keyboard. Wait about 15 seconds. Reconnect the mouse and keyboard, then boot your Mac.
If that doesn't work, locate these files: com.apple.speech.prefs.plist and
com.apple.speech.recognition.prefs.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag those files from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.

Boot Camp, Vista, Gear Head Bluetooth Keyboard & Mouse

Just added a Gear Head bluetooth keyboard and mouse for Mac to my Mac Mini.
This Mac Mini is running Boot Camp with Windows Vista Home Premium.
The bluetooth keyboard and mouse work fine under Mac.
When I boot to Vista, I was able to install the Mouse, but running the setup wizard for the keyboard does not work.
When I run the bluetooth set up wizard for the keyboard, I get to the screen that lets me create or choose a passkey. I can do that, but when I go to the next screen, which is where you input the passkey on the keyboard, that screen only appears for about 2 seconds, and then errors. It does not give me the chance to type in the passkey.
BTW, the mouse works fine when switching back and forth between Mac OS and Vista without resetting it.
Any thoughts?

You need the 64-bit version of Vista for one thing to use more than 1.9GB RAM.
Most of the problems people have with SP1 update have been pre-existing 'dirty file system'
To backup or clone Vista, I would use WinClone from OS X, or use Vista Businss/Ultimate before hand to backup files and system and make sure you have a good restore point before applying updates. Taht is one thing I would like to see Apple do, which MS updates often will.

New Mac Mini will not recognize bluetooth keyboard

I just bought a new mac mini, and the apple keyboard. I can see the welcome "Use english" screen, and I press ENTER on the keyboard but nothing happens! I know the keyboard is not the problem becuase I tested it on my iPad and it worked. I've un-paired it with my iPad and tried again and nothing happens. The trackpad pointer is visible but it does not recognize a CLICK.....WHAT CAN I DO ???? (I don't have a wired keyboard or mouse to hook-up to it )

yeah, it works on my ipad with no problem. I've re-booted too. I'm thinking the only way is with a hard wired keyboard to get it booted.

Desktop Mac does not recognize Wireless Keyboard

my iMAc does not recognize my wireless keyboard. It works fine with my iPad.

Does your iMac recognize any other BT devices? For example a trackpad, or a wireless mouse?
Also, check Applications -> Utilities -> Console and look for bluetooth messages.

PC will not Recognize Wireless Open Airport Express Network

I am trying to connect my computers to the Airport Express base station. Decided to upgrade the wireless internet router to n speed from g and the signal kept dropping. I've used an extreme and express at work set them up and have them running for both PC and Mac however, when i ran this express at home 2 MacBooks picked up the signal no problem however, the Dell PC did not. I disabled all firewalls on the PC, even made the network open with no encryption and still the PC did not recognize the device. It is not a range issue as i had the Dell 1 room away and even checked the selection for it to protect against device interference. The apple help told me to reboot and try everything i mentioned above. His final suggestion was to purchase a Mac, not really the solution i was looking for. Any help or further suggestions would be helpful thanks! I love Mac products and they just work so i am scratching my head over this one I am sure it is on the Dell side.

Hi again,
Yes you can use an All-in-One HP to do 'All' it's functions wirelessly... with an Ethernet Printer and Connection. (I believe HP calls them "Network Ready"). I am doing my HP 2500 series this way, and yes, it Scans too. It does depend on which printer port you use and how the printer responds. It's Ethernet Port works well, but the USB does not... tried both plugs with the Airport Extreme. Also, the Airport Express has both plug types, I'd use the Ethernet one.
Another thing, I had to enable "AppleTalk" with this printer to get through the barrier and have it scan. AppleTalk uses the 'same' language as the printer (or visa-versa???), and I believe this is the way HP is using to have more of it's printers usable with us Mac owners.
As the 6300 series is a small business printer, it should be Network Ready (and have an ethernet port on the printer) and be able to be done similar to my network ready 2500 series. But with two different series, I'm not sure how HP equipped yours... that is why it's nice to read up on all the stat's and work a rounds on their web-site.

Help I itunes will not recognize my iphone or ipod. Trouble with USB driver, device not running in safe mode, and HDCP not supported.

Help! When I connect my iphone or ipod touch to my computer, windows recognizes my device but itunes will not. I can still see my songs, videos, and access the itunes store but my phone and itunes store have no connection so it does me no good. I have for 2 days now tried every trouble shooting method posted with no luck. I think I may have finally found a lead. My Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is showing up under portable mobile devices while it is supposed to be showing up under universal serial Bus controllers from my understanding? Also, while running my diagnostic report under itunes it also says itunes is not running in safe mode, it is not showing enabled in windows firewall (which it is checked), and the HDCP is not supported. I don't know what to do? I am in tears here, someone please help!!!

PalmOne wireless keyboard-does it work with pocket pc?

I have an ipaq pocket pc H2200 and a Palmone wireless keyboard but i have no idea if it works with my handheld? The manual i downloaded for the keyboard dowsn't seem to be for this keyboard as it doesn't look the same or have a bluetooth button on it. It is a 3169WW. I got both devices from a friend and she didn't seem how to use them either. I have no driver cd's at all. I put new batteries in the keyboard but ultimately i do not know if the keyboard is working.
Post relates to: None

The 3169WW is an IR device. Find the keyboard icon on your Ipaq, enable the driver, then place the ipaq into the keyboard holder and align the little wand with the Ir port on the ipaq.
Sounds like you would greatly benefit by reading the user guides for the keyboard:

Wireless keyboard Swedish don't work with my iPad

Since upgrading my ipad retina to version 6.1 my wireless keyboard ( Swedish) doesn't recognise å,Ä, ö but acts as an english keyboard. What to do??????

what happens when you press Command + Space on your Keyboard? A Input Selection Menu should open (Like on the Photo i attached) then there should be Swedish, if it's not there you have to set it up again in Regional Settings.
