BT Assistant Can't find BT Keyboard on Startup

I have been out of town and have not used my iMac for a couple weeks. I just powered on and cannot find my BT Keyboard. The BT Assistant comes up and searches. I have flipped it over and confirmed that it is turned on. I have turned it off and then back on and still it cannot find the keyboard. Argh!
Any ideas?
I have an iMac - I think the BT came internally with the computer, it's about a month old, I'm new to Mac, so I am appreciative of any suggestions!!
Thanks in advance,
Carol O.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi Carol,
Try Pairing the KB again, ie start from scratch.

Migration Assistant can't find External HD on MacBook Pro Mid-2012

Hi, I have a MacBook Pro Mid-2012 running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and I am trying to use Migration Assistant to transfer Time Machine backups that are on my external hard drive, that I backed up from my old MacBook Mid-2010. The problem I am having is that Migration Assistant can't find my external hard drive. My MacBook Pro can find it when I plug it in (I see it in Finder), but Migration Assistant can't. Can anyone help or should I go to the Apple Store? I need help with this problem as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance,
- Daniel 

Since no one replied I figured out how to do it myself.
1.) First I plugged in my external hard drive with my Time Machine backups on them, then I opened Finder and click on my external hard drive under devices.
2.) Next I clicked on and opened the folder named "Backups.backupdb"
3.) Once inside that folder I could see folders with the backups from Time Machine and all of the folders names were the date I backed up that backup. I clicked and opended the lastest backup folder.
4.) Inside that folder, I clicked and opened the folder named "Macintosh HD"
5.) Inside that folder, I clicked and opended the folder named "Users"
6.) Inside that folder, I clicked and opended the folder named "Daniel" which was my Username on my previous Mac.
7.) Finally I could see and access all my folders from my Time Machine backups from my previous Mac.
Keep in mind this is only helpful if you are trying to access old backups (backed up from another Mac) on a new or different Mac. (Sorry for the blurry images)
Hope this somehow helps someone else,

HT2101 I can't find the keyboard by using iMessage, but I can by using email or whatsapp? How I reset the keyboard on iMessage?

I can't find the keyboard by using iMessage, but I can by using email or whatsapp? How I reset the keyboard on iMessage?

Did you tap in the box at the bottom of iMessage?
If you did and no keyboard is showing: Do a reset
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data
If that didn't helped, double tap Home button, delete the Message app and reset again.

VISA Assistant can not find the instrument.

I tried to control Agilent 34970A through RS232,
but the VISA Assistant can not find the instrument,
and there is no respond when I send a command to
the instrument. I am sure that the instrument is
good, and is set to RS232 interface, the cable is
right(verified), and the parameter such as baud
rate is the same as the computer.
(I am using LabVIEW 6.1)
Can anyone give me an explain about my problem?
Thank you very much!

> "VISA Assistant" is the name of a utility that ships with Agilent VISA. I am not sure if it can work with NI-VISA.
Agilent VISA does work with NI-VISA -- provided everything is installed correctly. A user may wish to use both Agilent VISA and NI-VISA together if they have a mix of IO cards. If NI-VISA is present, then Agilent VISA should be installed in the side-by-side mode, and NI-MAX should set the Passport to On. Then LabVIEW will see all the Agilent cards, and Agilent VISA Assistant will see all the NI-Cards. (The last time I tried this though, NI-MAX didn't see the Agilent cards.)
What was not mentioned in the original question is what VISA configuration is being used. If more specifics are provided a more specific answer can be given.

Migration assistant can't find external hard drive

I bought a Macbook Air and I can't move my files from the Time Machine created by my previous MacBook. Specifically, migration assistant can't find the external disk. I can see the external disc on the desktop, it's just the migration assistant that can't find it. I've done software update, I've attached and detached the external disk and restarted the Air in all imaginable combinations, migration assistant still can't see the external disk. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

That sounds like the Today (Now) display, the one that's show in full when you first Enter Time Machine. It's not a backup; it's the current contents of your Mac.
When I clicked on the 2nd window, it seems to be a back up from July 20, which I remember making on the old MacBook. It has one folder on it with my username.
Yes, that's a backup.
When I click on this folder, I find 4 folders inside it titled: Applications, Users, Library and System. I clicked on Applications and it was empty
That sounds like you'd excluded Applications from backups. Or else you didn't wait long enough for all the apps to be displayed.
sometimes the names of programs covered with a see-through "no parking" sign - a circle with a slash through it
That's an incompatible app.
Is this the Time Machine's records?
Yup.
Can I click on the July 20 date and click on restore? Will everything just come back on it's own?
No. You can restore individual items that way (if you have permission to them), but not a whole system. You can restore "simple" apps that way, too, but not "complex" ones -- ones that came with their own installers, because they install other files in other places. If you don't restore those other things too, the app won't work well, if at all.
Can you post a screenshot of the Migration Assistant window that should show your backups (something like this):

Migration assistent, can't find my external HD, help!

I have reinstalled OSX 10.8.6 on my moms Mac mini2,1, 1,83 GHz, 80 Gb harddisc, 2Gb ram, bus 667MHz, to keep the speed fresh. The time machine copy from her mac is on a Iomega external hardisc 160 Gb, the "disctool/help" detects it as Toshiba MK1652GSX Media, physically it has two USB connections. But when I use Migration Assistant it doesn't appear as a option to choose.
On this external harddisc I have a Timemachine copy that goes back to 2008. I can see the harddick on the screen, I can connect the harddisc to Timemachine and it can start to copy and save, I can even copy back my moms documents, but still Migration Assistant can't find it.
I need to migrate all her applications, iPhoto for instance as the most important as well as her I need to migrate her letters and adresses.
What do I do?

Dear MrHoffmann
Maybe it is because I am foreign, that I don't understand correctly, and for that I am very sorry. I can't imagine what a restore of a Time Machine disk is then. And I tried to find out what a scratch disk is, and the online computer dictionary told me it was an external HD, with a space for not permanent files. Maybe I misunderstood that too. Where do I then perform a restore of the backup? And where am I told if the disk is vail and bootable... sorry for my lack of understanding. As I understand I am not able to boot from a Time Machine backup, at least before Lion, and I am talking about Snowleopard. And I am not able to understand Install logs. This just sounds too difficult and far beyond what I am cabable of with my skills. Sorry.
But on the other hand, I like to learn. And I am returning to my moms house for a few days in the end of september. And with me I can bring all kinds of tools to examin her Time Machine disk, extra hardisks, my macbook with the same system and age as my moms old Mac Mini2,1 (2006) and other things, mayby if I can find out excactly what to do, I can find out what was wrong with her Time Machine disk or Migration Assistent, to prevent that from happening again.
Thank you for taking your time to help me :-)

HT4889 Using USB time machine drive to move to new rMBP and Migration assistant can't find my drive

I have a time machine backup on my USB drive. I can see it clearly in finder, then when I run migration assistant, it can't be found.
I've tried repairing the disk, it's fine, it just can't find it. Any ideas?
Both machines are on the same rev of Mt. Lion, 2010 MBP and 2013 rMBP. . . .
Please advise.
--Andrew

No, both the backup and the new system are OSX10.6.
I'm afraid your solution doesn't work. If I go through finder and open up the folders on the backup, and try, for example, to open my "Movies" folder (which is one I dearly hope to recover), I get a message that:
"The folder "Movies" can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents."
I have tried Repair Permissions, but this doesn't help. All of the important folders have a little red stop sign on them.
Thanks though.

HT4796 migration assistant can't find my old PC

my new macbook air can't find my old PC, even though I installed the migration assistant on the PC first. What am I doing wrong?

Used Migration Assistant - can't find any files!

I just got a MacBook and attempted to run Migration Assistant. to transfer data from my iBook. I had about 34 gigs of data on the iBook, which seemed to transfer with no problems...but I can not find a single one of these files on my MacBook now that the transfer is finished. My memory on the new (120 gig) machine decreased from 90 to 63.3 gigs after the transfer, so this information has to have gone somewhere! But I've searched for many files and they are simply not found.
Help!! (please?)

Log in with that account, and then open the Terminal application in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder. Run the following:
chmod -R a+rwX ~
sudo chown -R username ~
Replace username in the second line with the short name of the desired account; the account logged in needs to be an administrator. The second command will request your password, which won't appear in the Terminal window while it is being typed. Next, log back in from your normal account; you should then be able to move files and folders to your account's home folder. Once the previous home folder is empty, use the Accounts pane of System Preferences to delete the unwanted account.

Can't find a keyboard shortcut in System Preferences...

I'd like to change the command-w shortcut to the F13 key but can't find command-w in the list of keyboard shortcuts. What am I doing wrong?

In which Application?
Say it's the finder, 1st make sure F13 isn't used in Expose/Dashboard, then in KB & Mouse scroll down to Application Keyboard Shortcuts, choose Finder, hit the plus sign, tyope in Close Window, then hit the F13 key, exit, force quit the Finder or restart for it to take effect.

HP c5180 installer works, but 'Setup Assistant' can't find the printer

We got a new c5180 connected to our network. The WinXP box sees it. The OSX installation finishes, but the Setup Assistant doesn't find it.
The HP Device Manager can find it, though. Is there anyway I can get this printer to appear without the setup assistant? When I try to add the printer in various programs, it's drivers do not show up.

Sorry, the powerbook connects to the lan via an airport express, but it's not a wireless lan (if that makes any sense). The printer's connected via cat-5. I don't think it's the network for the following reasons:
1) I can browse the net;
2) I can ping the printer;
3) XP box can print to it.
Some other clarifications: It wasn't the HP device mgr, it was the HP Printer Selector that had no trouble finding the device.
From MS Word, when I go to print, and choose "Add a Printer..." it actually doesn't show me anything. No dialog comes up at all.

Linux 9i2 Configuration assistants can't find jre

Installing database 9i2 on RedHat Linux 7.2.
Install succeeds. Post install Configuration Assistants failed to start because "jre not found in $ORACLE_HOME/oracle.swd.jre/bin/i386/native_threads/jre"
Why not? What to do now? I am 'dead in the water' until I can get some help.
Thanks.

Whoopee! I now have a clean install and a functioning Oracle 9i2 database installed on my RedHat Linux 7.1 system!!!
Thank you gentlemen ... thank you all who have provided guiding counsel.
Ultimately there were two "tricks" which allowed me to get the clean install. The first was to select the custom install and re-direct the installation directory for the jre1.3.1 to some other directory than the default. The default installation directory was the same directory into which the jre1.1.8 was installed. This solved the problem that the configuration assistants could not find the jre.
The second trick was to set the kernel parameter shmmax to 400000000 by (as root)
echo 400000000 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
This solved the problem of the end-of-file on communication channel.
There was a similar suggestion to remove all the shared memory segments owned by oracle. That did not work for me. I tried them both; only the shmmax set was effective.
You all have been such a help to me that I feel I owe somebody something for your help. I will make it a point to keep checking this forum for the next month or so to see if I can offer some useful suggestions to some other poor soul who is trying so hard to get this Oracle beast i[i]Long postings are being truncated to ~1 kB at this time.

Where can I find a keyboard map for a macbook pro

I am new to Mac and have some problems with the names of some keys and the meaning of some of the "unusual" symbols on them. Where can I find an "idiot guide" and such information as where are the Home & Delete keys?

Migration assistant can't find computer/is it bc of 2 OS?

I have a macbook pro and macbook air. I am trying to transfer ichat from pro to air but the migration assistant can't seem to connect.
I have the same network, fileshare is on, etc. One has snow leopard (pro) and the other leopard (air). Can't I still transfer them? I'm trying to get ichat on my air -- forwhatever reason it keeps crashing and won't open and I thought I'd reinstall it...but now I've been working for an hour on this simple task and losing my mind (sorry that slipped out)
Kate

Yes, I feel sheepish. I figured it out.
But I had too much stuff on the iMac to transfer my files, so all I transferred was my applications. Now I have to figure out how to get my documents and my iTunes over there. I don't want to transfer all my pics, etc. because that's what's eating up all my memory. It doesn't look like Migration Assistant can be used for just a few things like this.
Thanks for the QUICK response!
