Crashes since I got new keyboard and mouse

Recently picked up the new wireless keyboard and mouse after my old set finally died and once I got them both working I started to experience constant system crashes including restart messeges and random software just quitting out without cause. The iMac worked fine before I got teh new kb&m, but I ahve never heard of new accessories causing a computer to freak out like this. The computer is currently running Tiger. Any ideas?

No one has a single idea?

  • IMac crashes since new keyboard and mouse arrived

    Recently picked up the new wireless keyboard and mouse after my old set finally died and once I got them both working I started to experience constant system crashes including restart messeges and random software just quitting out without cause. The iMac worked fine before I got teh new kb&m, but I ahve never heard of new accessories causing a computer to freak out like this. The computer is currently running Tiger. Any ideas?

    Suggest that you repost over in the Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse Forums where the wireless folks hang out.
    Also, since you have an Intel iMac, you may wish to cross-post over in the Using your Intel-based iMac Forums.
    You should also indicate which version of Tiger you are using.

  • I was thinking of a new keyboard and mouse to go with the iMac

    But I think the keyboard and mouse that come with this set will do their job admirably.
    Any comments?

    Just a little background here:
    I was thinking of a Bluetooth Apple keyboard, which might come in time, but no real hurry.
    The mouse was a Microsoft Bluetooth mouse. A few problems though:
    CompUSA had one for $70, A little much fo a mouse.
    And Compusa doesn't carry it anymore. Prolly the $70 asking price.
    That and it might not work with the new configuration.
    I played around with the Mighty Mouse at the Apple Store. Thought I could live it with it.

  • HT1752 I have an old iMac (the rounded type with monitor).  I need a new keyboard and mouse.  Will any work?  thanks for any help!

    I have an old iMac for 2002....it's the rounded type that has an attached monitor.  The software is way outdated (OS X 10) and I only really use now to access 3,000 plus songs and old video of the family.  Both the keyboard and mouse no longer work.  Am I able to use any keyboard/mouse and plug in using USB?  Thanks for any help!

    Most any USB mouse or keyboard should work. Borrow one if you can and just plug it in.
    If the USB circuits are at fault then you can access via Firewire Target Mode with another Mac in order to get at the files.

    Another alternative would be to remove the hard drive and use a USB adapter to access it as an external  drive.

  • Random crashes on Acer Aspire 5520 - keyboard and mouse death

    Random crashes appear randomly,  no keyboard or mouse only thing I can make is power off.
    I'm using xfce. I think problem is somehow related to power management??
    If some configuration files are needed then I'll provide them.
    Thanks in advance,

  • New MX5500 Logitech Keyboard and Mouse Set.

    Alright so i just got the new desktop set for my main rig. The MX5500 keyboard and mouse set from logitech. Always been a loyal fan of logitech and ALWAYS loved theere product. Though this is the first REAL buy for a rig since i've switched to linux. I pushed for the $160 rig, which i loved while at the store. Has a few features, like the (flip by button, or flip windows by side mouse button, AKA window vista features) That i know i will not get to work when im booted in linux, thats all fine, but a few as far as the media player and photo gallery keys i was wondering if there was a way to set them up to use Default media player set in linux and when booted in Windows the default in it, rather than just windows media player in vista and thus far nothing at all in linux. No BIG deal, just a good 6 keys i can't really take advantage of , regardless i still love the keyboard and mouse set with what it still can do and will enjoy the other features when booted in windows. But if there's a way anyone knows to do what i asked above it would be GREAT! Thanx -Peace   

    Run xev, press the keys and look at the output. Once you know the keycodes you can do anything you want with the keys using xbindkeys and also bind it to other keys/X11 features with xmodmap.

  • New Mac Pro does not include Keyboard and mouse

    I had not noticed and forgive me if it's already been raised, but I think it's a low blow that Apple is charging if you want a keyboard and mouse with the new Mac Pro's.  Sorry but in my opinion this is the height of cheapness.  C'mon Apple every desktop Mac I have bought (mac user since 1991) has come with a keyboard and mouse.  Does it really affect your bottom line so much to include these?  I have always thought of Apple as a class act, thinking of the extras and thoughtful customer service.  While this is not a deal breaker for me it sure gives me pause....  Sad.

    Apple has almost always charged on the Pro machines the keyboard and mouse.  Pros tend to want to customize what keyboard and mouse they use more often than people with "consumer machines."
    If you go to http://www.archive.org/ you'll find that to be the case.

  • TS2662 Wireless keyboard and mouse were working fine until today; installed new batteries in both when they wouldn't work-says they are connected intermittently, but can't use either one-have tried to re-pair and nothing happens-codes not recognized-

    i have been using my wireless keyboard and mouse with no probs until today-installed updates this morning-since I restarted have been unable to use either device-have tried everything Apple suggests to do- re-pairing unsuccessfully; turned everything off and back on-sometimes the Bluetooth says it is connected, othertimes not-but even when it says it is connected the keyboard/mouse don't work; put in new batteries-no go also; bluetooth icon is on.  Anyone have any ideas????

  • Will the new Apple wireless keyboard and mouse work with my Macbook Pro?

    Looking at purchasing a wireless keyboard and mouse for my Macbook Pro. Figured the one made by apple will work, but not sure... Any suggestions on a good wireless keyboard and mouse, or knowledge on whether Apples will work or not?

    I just got them last week and the keyboard is new and the mouse is used but looks brand new.  And you get a free pair of AA bateries with the mouse.  And you can get 2AA batteries for the keyboard for an extra $1.29 I highly recommend going this route as I did very recently and am very pleased.

  • Brand new macbook pro 17" 2.2 ghz core i7 keyboard and mouse freeze

    I just got the macbook pro 17" as a replacement for a broken earlier model.  I ran all the software updates and installed xcode and ran software updates again.  Other than that it's a clean system.  I've literally only had it for hours and was starting to install stuff and the keyboard and mouse completely froze.  The power button worked correctly and got me the options to reboot etc, but since the keyboard didn't work i had to hold down the power button.
    This is going to be a pain because it's probably intermittent.  There was nothing in the system.log to indicate a problem with the keyboard.
    Anyone else been experiencing this with this model?
    Thanks,
    -jim

    See if you can get it exchanged.

  • Brand new Macbook Pro not pairing with Apple Keyboard and mouse!

    Hi all, I have a brand new Macbook Pro and an older wireless Apple Keyboard and Mouse (that were being previously used with my imac G5).
    Now I want to use these for this macbook. I am finding that they are being recognised but not pairing up?
    Do you need to stop the previous pairing with the imac before they will pair with the Macbook?
    Or do I need to update specific software? (I would have thought it has all the necessary updates already installed).
    I am running Snow leopard.
    I have brand new batteries in the keyboard and mouse.
    I really appreciate any helpful advice. Sorry if the answer is obvious!
    Thanks

    Hi there, i had a problem pairing an Apple wireless keyboard with my MacBook pro but managed to solve it.
    The default passkey option in Bluetooth setup assistant is 'automatic' which will (if the MacBook can 'see' the keyboard in the first instance) then say something like 'your device may prompt you to enter the following passcode 1234 5678'
    Obviously the keyboard doesn't provide any feedback - I went ahead and typed the number and hit the return key a number of times - the MacBook then displayed a 'pairing failed - you may have entered the incorrect passkey' message.
    What i was doing wrong was keying only numbers - when i keyed 1234[SPACE]5678 + RETURN pairing worked.
    I had thought the 'gap' in the passcode was to make it easier to read, not that it implied a space in the passcode.
    Hope that helps.

  • Since my G5 died I was thinking about getting a Mac Mini, but I have a ViewSonic Monitor (from 2004) and a USB keyboard and mouse - I also have the external drive tha downloaded my files on to. Do you think the monitor, keyboard and mouse will work on it?

    Since my G5 died I was thinking about getting a Mac Mini, but I have a ViewSonic Monitor (from 2004) and a USB keyboard and mouse - I also have the external drive that I downloaded my files on to. Do you think the monitor, keyboard and mouse will work on it? Would I have to get a hub so I could use the stuff I already have? Is that viewsonic too old to work on it?
    What else would I need? Please advise...

    Yes for keyboard and mouse.
    The monitor will work if it has an HDMI, VGA ir DVI input. If it only has a VGA input you will need this adopter

  • HT1752 I need to transfer files from an 'original' iMac to a brand new one. The old Mac has no keyboard or mouse. Could it support a current wireless keyboard and mouse?

    I need to transfer files from an 'original' iMac to a brand new one. The old Mac has no keyboard or mouse. Could it support a current wireless keyboard and mouse?

    Assuming that "original" means a G3/CRT iMac, not wireless. The G3 iMacs didn't have Bluetooth. The good news, though, is that any standard USB keyboard and mouse will work with them, even the ones designed for Windows that you can pick up for ten bucks or so.

  • My new mac mini doesn't detect my wireless keyboard and mouse from logitech

    I recently bought the Logitech MK550 wireless keyboard and mouse combo for my late 2014 Mac mini.  Basic functions work, however, when I try to add the keyboard and mouse in the System Preferences it can't find either one.  So right now I have this great big keyboard that I can only use about half it's full functionality and an unassigned button on the mouse.  Any ideas?  Also, I would like to add an apple remote to my mini.  I have one from my old iMac.  Is this possible?

    Try resetting the SMC.
    Question #2 - I have no idea.
