Delayed Response on Wireless Aluminum Keyboard Since the Update

I just updated the firmware on my wireless aluminum keyboard and now there is an annoying noticeable delay between pressing a key and seeing it on the screen. Any ideas how to fix this?

Sorry that I can't help you with this, but FYI I have just updated the firmware on my Aluminium keyboard and haven't noticed any difference in the response.

  • Wireless Aluminum Keyboard Troubleshooting

    If you're having issues with your Apple Wireless (Aluminum) Keyboard disconnecting, there are a few things you can try.
    First, check your wireless network configuration to see if you can avoid interference. See this post in another topic:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5783742#5783742
    Although I did have success with tweaking my wifi setup, my keyboard disconnect problem returned again a couple of weeks ago. I had recently upgraded to Leopard (10.5.1) which may have contributed - although I had been using wired ethernet, and switched back to wifi around the same time as my Leopard upgrade.
    Like others have posted, I also noticed the bluetooth daemon log errors in my system log. To look for them, you can open console.app, and search for "blued" in the system.log and also its archive history. Here's an example:
    +Jan 25 09:17:22 Macintosh-2 kernel[0]: IOBluetoothHCIRequest::Create [0x55da000] Request OpCode 0000 Generated by: blued (47) status: 0 timeout 1000. has a too small timeout, a reasonable value would be 5000 (5 seconds)+
    Here are some other things to try. You should only try one at a time - so that you can tell which change fixed your problem.
    1. In the Bluetooth System Preferences panel, unpair your keyboard, and re-pair it again
    2. Also in the Bluetooth System Preferences panel, add the keyboard to your favorites. To do this in Leopard: select the keyboard in the bluetooth devices list. Click on the tasks cog at the foot of that pane (just beside the plus and minus). Select "Show more info". Select "Add To Favorites".
    3. Reset the bluetooth preferences by moving system preference files. Warning: only try this if you are comfortable using the OS X terminal!! :
    sudo mv /var/root/Library/Preferences/blued.plist /var/root/Library/Preferences/blued.plist.old
    sudo mv /var/root/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist /var/root/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.old
    (you will need to enter your password at least once, and then will need to restart your machine).
    Keep a log of all the things you've tried. If none of these work, its probably time to call AppleCare. If you have one of the new Apple (Aluminum) Wireless Keyboards, it is still covered by warranty at this point.

    It sounds like the bluetooth in both of your keyboards has simply died. If it's still under warranty (if it has one), take it to the apple store and show them. They may give you a new one. For future reference, the new wired USB keyboard is now exactly the same as the wireless (except that it has a wire), and you won't face any bluetooth issues like that. You can get the new wired keyboard here:

    Also, if you're willing to spend a bit more money, Macworld rated the Logitech DiNovo Edge Keyboard very highly. Here's a link to that:

    Hope this helps.

  • Wireless aluminum keyboard won't stay on

    I'm trying to pair my wireless aluminum keyboard with my Mac Mini.  I have OS10.5.8 and I've run the aluminum keyboard 2.0 update.  My keyoard light comes on for about 2 seconds then goes out.  batteries are new and in correctly.   My mini is able to discover the keyboard after a bit of fooling with the on/off or removing and replacing the batteries, but when it goes to pair it always fails.  

    Hello:
    Try resetting the PRAM (if you can) and the SMC.
    If that does not help, I would suspect a faulty KB.

  • Why am I no longer able to use my Logitech keyboard since the software upgrade y'day?

    Why am I no longer able to use my Logitech keyboard since the software update last night? 

    Hey atinaaw,
    I would first suggest uninstalling the software that is already on your computer for the printer. I have included the document 'Uninstalling the Printer Software'. Please choose the option for Windows 8, as it will be the same steps for Windows 8.1.
    After the uninstall is completed. Please download and run the Printer Install Wizard. This will make sure that you do get the most current and compatible software for your computer, and printer.
    Please let me know if you are able to install, and use your printer successfully, thank you.

    My Razor Maxx has lost it's swipe keyboard and it's voice to text since the "update"...any ideas how to fix it?

        Hello bsbb4!
    I'm sorry for any inconvenience in the Swype keyboard beng removed in the Kitkat update. No worries, though! You can simply go to the Google Play Store and there are many Swype keyboards you can use. Most are free and many can be personalized to your style!
    I hope this information is helpful.

  • Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Software Update Issue

    I keep getting the Aluminum keyboard firmware software update in Software Update. I install it, but then it shows up again. No matter how many times I install it, it does not go away. Any ideas?

    Have you verified in System Profiler that your keyboard has the update installed? Is the stated firmware for your keyboard correct?
    For a wireless keyboard:
    Open System Profiler.
    In the Hardware section of System Profiler, select Bluetooth.
    Locate the keyboard in the list of Bluetooth devices.
    Look in the Firmware Version field: If the version number is 321, the keyboard has been successfully updated.
    For a USB keyboard:
    Open System Profiler.
    In the Hardware section of System Profiler, select USB.
    Locate the Apple Keyboard in the list of USB devices.
    Look in the Firmware Version field: If the version number is 0.69, the keyboard has been successfully updated.
    If it is not correct, manually download the firmware update and install. If System Profiler says that it has been installed then go into Software Update and tell it to ignore that update.

  • HT5642 WiFi speed issues with iPhone 4S since the update

    Since the update the WiFi on the iPhone is terrible. I run a 50mb speed and barley get 2mb. My iPad is getting 39mb speed. Is there a problem with this update for the iPhone that affects WiFi speed?

    I am having the same issue since updating to iOS 6.  It has been noticeable on my iPhone 4S and a little less noticeable on my iPad 3 but I think it is happening on the iPad too.  Very annoying problem.  One way to get it to work better is to re-boot your phone.  It will work for awhile then and then eventually not be working anymore and you will need to re-boot again.
    Just to be clear with everyone - the iPhone looks like it is connected to the wireless, it gets an IP address but can't transmit any data.  Device:  iPhone 4S, OS:  iOS6

  • Sync issue - I have an iPhone 5 running latest software 7.1.1. Since the update I noticed that my photos weren't syncing in My Photo Stream album on my pc.

    I have an iPhone 5 running latest software 7.1.1. Since the update I noticed that my photos weren't syncing in My Photo Stream album on my pc. The photos taken do show up in My Photo Stream folder on my iphone and ipad. I have googled and noticed that this is quite a widespread problem.
    I must stress that I have never had a problem with photos from my iPhone not syncing with my pc before. This is the first time I have encountered this problem, so this has nothing to do with my Wi-Fi or my pc because nothing has changed in that respect. My pc's operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
    6 days ago I took steps to try and kick start syncing again by uninstalling the iCloud panel on my pc.
    1. Uninstalled the iCloud panel.
    2. I saved all the photos that were in my My Photo Stream on my pc to another folder.
    3. Deleted the My Photo Stream folder.
    4. Rebooted.
    5. Downloaded  iCloud Control Panel 3.1 for Windows from support Apple site and installed on my pc.
    6. Logged in to iCloud, set up syncing.
    7. Rebooted.
    I noticed that there is now a folder on my pc called iCloud Photos with subfolders which one is My Photo Stream as well as my share iPhone folders.
    The photos are still not syncing.
    I have only 34 photos in My Photo Stream on my pc.
    I have deliberately taken random photos over the last few days since the actions of uninstalling and re installing the iCloud panel.
    Out of a dozen which I took yesterday, only one has showed up in My Photo Stream on my pc. Only 6 photos out of  fifty photos which I have taken since uninstalling/reinstalling the iCloud panel have appeared in My Photo Stream on my pc.
    My iPhone shows that I have 980 photos in My Photo Stream so it shows that something is not quite right with syncing to the pc.
    Hopefully someone has an answer or a fix?
    Thanks for reading.

    Hi Amish,
    I should have mentioned that I have signed out of the iCloud Control Panel several times and no syncing occurs.
    Thanks for your response anyway. I appreciate your feedback.

  • Many problems since the update - help?

    Hi all,
    Let me start by saying that I am, for all intents and purposes, a huge Apple booster. I have a new 24" iMac. I have an Airport Extreme. I have an iBook G3 I use for travel (I'm a journalist) and recently handed down my old G3 iMac to my son after loading it up with RAM. I extoll Apple products because they are elegant and simple, and a pure pleasure to use.
    Unfortunately, this hasn't been my experience with Apple TV since the 2.0 update.
    My problems since the update include:
    1) My Apple TV regularly "hangs" when trying to connect to ATV content. About 50% of the time when I try to play a song or podcast or movie preview -- whatever -- instead of connecting to it, I'll get an "Accessing iTunes Store" message which, after about 30 seconds of the little spinning icon, will inevitably revert to "The iTunes Store is currently unavailable. Try again later." I have to "back out" of the submenu (e.g., "Movies" or "Podcasts" or "TV Shows"), and enter another, different submenu before it will connect. I've tried all combinations of Airport settings ( both 2.4 Ghz and 5Ghz N, mixed b/g/n), and many different channels, but this keeps on happening. I have troubleshot my network connection with my ISP, and have tested the integrity of the line at DSL Reports. The connection and line quality is fine. Connection strength: signal = 54; noise = 92. In other words, decent.
    2) When attempting to play HD Trailers, it is now hit and miss whether or not they will load. Instead of a blue progress bar, my screen goes black for about 15-20 seconds. (During this time, I cannot exit out of the action by pressing 'menu' on my Apple remote; it is effectively unresponsive.) After the 15 seconds or so are up, I get the following message: "Selected content is not available. Format is not recognized" -- or something close to this. After I exit, play an SD trailer, and then hit into the same trailer again, it will often (but not always) work.
    3) Album cover art flips often "stick" when turning, especially when playing songs with long, scrolling titles. (I spent a lot of time on the phone with an Apple TV Product Specialist and, after he replicated the issue, he passed on his findings to the Apple Engineering. It is, I was informed, not high on their list of priorities
    4) Unplugging and then replugging the ATV to reboot causes a small electrical spark. Needless to say, I don't tempt fate by doing this any more, and instead use the "-" and "menu" restart method.
    All in all, a very disappointing experience of late. Very un-Apple.
    By the way, connecting to YouTube videos and Flickr contacts ALWAYS works. No problems at all with any non-Apple site accessed through the ATV. So the problem lies with Apple.
    Is anyone else experiencing similar difficulties? I'm at my wit's end with this thing. Never thought I'd be saying that about an Apple product. But I want to try and solve it, so I'm asking for help. If nothing can be done, I'm going to ask Apple to replace it, or return it.
    Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

    That was a paraphrase. The exact words, I'm afraid, I didn't write down. I wish I had, though. It was truly a beautiful example of corporate bafflegab. Something like: "since this only affects the visual aspects of the unit and not its overall performance" -- I told the (very nice) product specialist that the Apple TV was pretty well ALL AND ONLY about visuals. (FWIW, he agreed.) Anyway...

  • Since the update today to 3.6.17 when I click to open a new tab it does not open

    the plus sign to the right of the open tab{s] no longer works since the update. Is this intentional or just a bug? It is the same on both my pcs running firefox.

    Un-install the '''''Ask Toolbar'''''. Many users have reported the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' causes Firefox to not open new tabs. It is the responsibility of Ask to fix the problem with their toolbar.

  • Hi, my iPad and the camera connection kit is completely useless to me, ever since the update where Apple restricted the device from connecting to certain external devices. I've tried everything, but is there eny way I can get rid of this?

    Hi,
    My iPad and the camera connection kit is completely useless to me, ever since the update where Apple restricted the device from connecting to certain external devices. I've tried everything, but is there any way I can get rid of this annoying problem? The bottom line is that I'll stay away from apple, because they basically make it so the devices control you, and you don't control the devices. I've even jail broken to try and fix this. I need my USB drives to work as they have many folders. Formatting doesn't work, so it is definetly down to the software and it's restrictions.
    Please help.

    The camera connection kit is to be used to connect a camera or an SD card and transfer photos/video. You can't fault them for something that happened to work and doesn't any longer. There are drives like the seagate available if you need access to extra storage

  • My iphone wont let me scroll down on facbook walls since  the update this morning?

    my iphone wont let me scroll down on facbook walls since  the update this morning? does anyone know how to fix this ive foiund a few people on google today its happened to?

    I suspect the error message you saw earlier said something like "the maximum number of free iCloud accounts have already been created" or something similar, which is often associated with a 403 error.
    When you get that message it means that three iCloud accounts have already been created on your device and you cannot create another one.  This often happens when you purchase a used device and the previous owner already used up all of the alloted iCloud accounts on it.  When this happens, all you can do is either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account on another iOS device or Mac when you have one.
