Can't log in, because computer is looking for bluetooth keyboard

When I start up my computer, it starts to look for a bluetooth keyboard - I guess at some point it recognized my husband's bluetooth keyboard for his iPad.
It means, however, it doesn't recognize my USB keyboard even to key in my password, so I cannot access Preferences to stop it from searching for a bluetooth keyboard. My husband is traveling - with his iPad... Any advice on how to fix this?

By the way the message says that the keyboard isn't connecting because the bluetooth keyboard setup isn't connecting. That it's looking for a wireless keyboard.

    Stick the 10.6 disk into the machine and reboot holding the option/alt key down on a wired/built in keyboard.
    On the second screen, under the Utilities menu is a Password Reset, use it.
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    What this will do is reset the password and the user account permissions in the process.
    You might have problems with Keychain afterwards, to fix that.

    You might want to update Safari to 3.12. I would empty the safari cache. (Safari>Empty Cache). Then quit Safari. System Preferences>Network>Show:Airport>TCP/IP. Insert the following into the DNS Servers box;
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    then hit apply. Now launch Safari. You should also try powering down modem, router and Mac and power up in 2 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.

  • Data folder can not be opened in finding " AirPort Time Capsule " The operation can not be completed because the original item for " data" does not exist .

    Hi
    I have a " AirPort Time Capsule " (firmware 7.7.3) When I try to open the data folder in "finder". Then I got the message  " The operation can not be completed because the original item for " data" does not exist". I have a lot of data and I can understand why I get this message?
    Anyone who can help? Thanks..
    Br. Bo

    Get a USB drive of 2TB or more.. assuming your TC is 2TB. Either preformatted Mac or plug into your Mac and format it standard Mac OS Extended Journaled in disk utility.
    Do a full archive of the TC. You do this using airport utility. Do not click the erase disk.. I marked in green.. just the archive.. that is to backup the internal disk to the USB disk. It is not fast.. take it that the process will go at around 40-50GB/hr.
    Once you complete the archive .. it is a direct image of the data on your TC.. you can then plug it into your computer directly.. and then try and open the files you lost.. if you cannot open them.. open disk utility and fix the permissions.

    Or try the methods apple recommends..
    OS X Yosemite: Set permissions for items on your Mac
    It is possible to fix things on the USB drive because it is locally mounted.. but you cannot fix it on TC which is network drive.

  • The operation can't be completed because the original item for " your drive name here " can't be found

    Hey all,
        I hope someone can help.  I am running 10.7.5 OSX currently on my Mac Book Pro.  I recently got a new Windows 8 desktop.  A ceap one running Windows 8.  I currently have 5 drives shared over my home network.  3 are working just fine (the 3 I just put on the network today).  The other 2, however, were previously on my old Windows Vista computer also shared over my network.  My Mac Book Pro had access just fine (I set up sharing on my vista comp) and everything ran smooth.  Today when I hooked up my new Windows 8 computer and put the 5 drives on and shared them via my network, same way as I done before, 3 are working fine but the two original drives give me an error when I try and access them from my Mac over my home network.  They both show up with the correct names but when I try and access them it tells me:
    The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “M&V” can’t be found.
    M&V is the name of one of the drives.  Here is the trouble shooting I have done:
    - Renamed the drives multiple times
    - Tripple checked my permissions
    - Checked for updates and installed both on my PC and Mac
    - Restarted my PC and Mac
    - Tried Both of my dual frequencies on my netowork
    - Tried hooking up with ethernet cable
    - Changed the user name and password for my shared access on my PC multiple times and put in the correct info on my Mac
    - Tried taking away all passwords (unsecured)
    - My other Windows PS's can access all drives just fine
    But still I get the above error.  I have isolated it to an issue with my Mac. I was thinking maybe if there is a way to have my Mac forget the shared drives and I can re-add them and put in my password, I am not sure if that is even possible. I am at al loss on what to do.  Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. 

    I am having the same exact issue and I've been busting my testi-balls to figure it out. I've got 15 years experience in the computer game and still can't figure it out. I see a lot of people having similiar issues, but no one seems to have an answer for MY issue, which is virtually the same as the OP.
    Brand new Macbook Retina.
    Windows 7 x64 Machine.
    ALL drives shared with ALL permissions of ALL accounts manually inserted on the Windows 7 side.
    ALL other PC's in the house can access the drives on the Windows 7 machine without issue.
    Only the Macbook Retina has the problem connecting. Every Windows drive I shared is visible under "network" in finder, but when I click on any of them it gives the quoted error message the OP stated.
    PLEASE, if anyone finds a fix for this, let us know!

  • The operation can't be completed because the original item for "EXTERNAL" can't be found.

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion I can no longer access my exFat formatted USB drive that is connected to my iMac from my MBP. I can connect to the iMac, but when I try to mount the USB drive I get an error message saying "The operation can't be completed because the original item for "EXTERNAL" can't be found."
    I have enabled only 'SMB' in sharing preference on all of my machines, and all are running Mountain Lion.
    *I have since tried connecting directly with the IP address, same result, and also reformatting the USB drive to just FAT32, same issue. I need the drive formatted in a windows format so my home theatre system can connect to it.

    Update, So I disassembled the external hard drive case and pulled the bare drive out and connected the drive directly to my motherboard and without change any settings on the PC, the MacBook can now access it over the network. What is it about externals that the Mac can't access them over networks?

  • My remote cd says: The operation can't be completed because the original item for "Audio CD" can't be found.

    I'm trying to access a cd (book) from my macbook air 10.7.8

    In my System Pre. I don't see 'sharing cd or dvd'
    when I tried to download the software it said

    Hi,
    I've started to get this problem too.  The only place I can't create a folder is on the desktop - other folders/locations are fine.
    When I do "new folder' it first asks for the password and then fails with the "you do not have the necessary permission" message.  I'm using the only user account that has been created on the Macbook Pro since it was installed.  It is defined as an Admin account.
    I've tried reseting the Permissions and ACL using the Terminal program after interupting a re-boot.  That didn't have any affect though.  I also tried changing the privileges by right clicking on the desktop and going in via Get Info...again. either I'm doing it wrong, or its not working.
    Apols if this is an easy Question - the Macbook is for my son and I'm an OSX numpty (having used Windows more ;-)
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank You. This helps me alot to get into the masters and to see events and photos in a utilitarian way, but it is not as easy as viewing the normal iphoto format to find photos.  Can I do something else or did I not do something right to not see normal iphoto in Time Machine ?
