    Hello:
    Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.  You will need a KB to reset the PRAM, but the SMC may be reset without any peripherals.

    A bluetooth keyboard can be used with the Apple TV.

  • Can I connect a windows HD to my iMac to download files from it?

    How do I do it?  I'm def over my head here.  I have an iMac OS X Lion 10.7.5.  My HD came from a Dell 4400 Dimension.  Thanks in advance!
    I did manage to remove the HD from my Dell without blowing up the world.  That's a good start.  I think I need to buy a power cord and then something with a USB port to hook the HD to my iMac.  Then can you use Migration Assistant?  Or does that only work when the computer is online?

    An enclosure is a device used to put the HD into. For example:

    This one is an excellent one, after you have moved the files over you can then re-format the HD and use it as a backup which is something you MUST have anyway. You can use Time Machine (already integrated into OS X ) which will create automatic backups for you. You simply need an external HD to backup to. 

  • I have two IMacs and I want to set them up so i can use one keyboard and mouse-   How do i make this happen?

    How do i make it happen so I can use two seperate iMac computers as one set-up with one keyboard and one mouse?

    If the keyboard and mouse are wired, then a USB KVM switch will work.
    If they are wireless, you should be able to connect the wirelessly via Bluetooth settings. discover the same keyboard and mouse on each iMac.
    However, you cannot use them on each iMac simultaneously. I think it would be rather difficult for you to switch between them (disconnecting and reconnecting them over and over again).
    Most iMacs come shipped with a keyboard and mouse by default. How come you only have one keyboard?
    Keyboards and mice are not that expensive either.

  • Can't use Filevault 2 with Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

    Am I the only one who can't get File Vault 2 to work with a wireless keyboard and mouse? It seems that the "Recovery Partition" of Lion which you have to log into in order to enable File Vault 2 doesn't support BlueTooth devices so it's impossible to log in and start the encryption process. And after using a USB keyboard to do the encryption, I now can't log onto the encrypted disk for the same reason.
    I can't believe that nobody else has noticed this, so what am I doing wrong?
    Thanks

    I have exactly the same problem; I have an original Apple Wireless keyboard (the older, full-size white and clear plastic keyboard), and a Logitech MX-Revolution mouse, both work just fine using the recovery partition, but don't respond at all for the FileVault login prompt.
    The mouse just doesn't do anything, and if others are getting USB devices to work then my mouse should work since it has its own wireless receiver, masquerading as a USB device, but it's just frozen in place. Meanwhile my keyboard appears to connect normally, but the login screen is completely unresponsive, pressing caps-lock doesn't cause the caps-lock button to light up, even though I know the keyboard works just fine.
    Considering the push for more wireless by default it seems odd that this problem exists, especially when my devices all work perfectly fine for selecting start-up disk, starting up from CD and so-on. Does anyone have a more concrete fix for this? FileVault 2 was one of the features I was really looking forward to but I can't even properly enable it, I'm just fortunate that Lion at least stops the process if you don't log-in successfully the first time.
    As a side note; is the same pre-boot login required if you enable FileVault encryption on a non start-up volume? If not, at what point does the volume become available? I'm hoping to separate my OS and user folders onto my SSD and regular HDs respectively, but if I enable FileVault for my HDs only, will I still need the pre-boot login?

  • HT3924 can i use iMac keyboard and mouse when it is in Target Display Mode and attached to my MBP?

    I can attach my iMac to my MBP via thunderbolt and run it in Target Display Mode, so that itsimply becomes a screen attached to my MBP.
    What I really want is for the keyboard and mouse of my iMac to also operate as if they were attached to my MBP, but I cant seem to achieve this.
    Is it possible?

    Its a wireless mouse and keyboard - dont think I can re-pair the keyboard to MBP since I need it talking to the iMac to enable and disable TDM?
    I expected TDM to natively pass through the mouse and keyboard to the MBP, since that is the obvious user requirement. But this does not happen.
    So I guess I want a workaround so my iMac keyboard and mouse can drive my MBP while attached via Thunderbolt cable in TDM mode.

  • Can't connect to Windows PC

    I have a windows XP machine, connected via ethernet to a wifi adsl modem/router. From my old windows laptop i could access files via wireless and print to the printer connected to the windows pc, but with my MAC (my 1st) i cannot see the windows pc. When i first turned on my mac the windows pc showed under finder>shared, but not so now. I can access it via the Go>Connect to Server option in Finder and then it shows under 'shared' but otherwise it doesn't. And i can't see the printer attached to it either, yet that is shared and my old windows laptop can use it just fine.
    I read another post about deleting the plist sidebar file which i did but had no effect. I just want my windows pc to appear in my finder sidebar when it's on, so i can access the files and print to the printer. Why is that so hard?
    Can anyone advise

    Might want to check the Mac's settings in the Directory Access Utility under CIS/SMB, especially for the exact Workgroup name.
    Also, there's asetting on Windows® to "always allow" Cleartext or whatever... could probably search this forum for the quoted and find it, or wait for one of the great helpers here to stop by.

  • Skype can't connect on my laptop

    When I try to log into Skype on my laptop, I get the message "Skype can't connect".
    I have reset my password, I have made sure I have the latest version istalled, I have made sure my firewall isn't blocking it, and I have checked that the problem is not because of a slow internet connection.
    I can connect without any problem using my phone, can anyone help me figure out why I can't connect using my laptop? It used to connect automatically without any problem.
    Thank you in advance.

    Try to reset all Skype settings.
    Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
    Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
    Restart Skype.
    N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.
