Does VM Ware Support Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

I downloaded VM Ware from Apple.com. I got to my Windows XP Home login screen, but I could not move the mouse to login to the XP Computer. I had to restart the computer by holding down the power button because I was, "stuck." Does anyone out there know if VMWare is compatible with the wireless keyboard and mouse? I'm using Leopard and Windows XP Home SP 2.
Thanks,
David

Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse + Bootcamp = screensaver problems

I can't seem to get the screensaver to activate when using the apple wireless keyboard and mouse under windows XP with Bootcamp.
I know its a problem with the wireless devices because if i restart the computer and not press anything (ie. mouse or keyboard) then the screensaver will work.
However as soon as I press the mouse or move the cursor around, the screensaver will fail to activate on its own, or if it activates, it will wake itself up even if I don't move the mouse or press the keyboard.
Any solutions?

Hi Capfred: Thank you for your replay. I have tried to follow your information but unable to solve the problem. I followed your comments but I am unable to get to the menu you mention. I have installed MAC OS X, Version 10.7.2 .
The only thing that works is the Apple last wireless mouse. I belive that I must have done something that created this situation. My problem is that I live in Panama, Central America and the local Apple dealer has little to no tech support.
Would it be possible for me to call you and review the config of these items or is there a way to restore the Macbook Air to the original installation .
I appreciate your kind help and once again thank you for your help. Regards,
Ruben

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.

How do you pair an apple wireless Keyboard and Mouse to use at the sametime?

1. I paired an apple keyboard but it's not fully functioning? 2. How do I add a second device(mouse) its not discoverable?

Even if you could pair a wireless mouse, you would use it for what?

I'm trying to connect a Sony wireless keyboard and can't figure out how to get the iPad 2 to discover it. Has anyone had any luck using a non-Apple wireless keyboard and mouse?

Apple tech so far hasn't helped except to advise me to get manuals online that Sony doesn't post on its website. I've sent off an inquiry to Sony but don't expect an answer. Apple assumes my devices are bluetooth but the iPad2 hasn't figured out how to discover them, and I don't know how to make them discoverable. I'd like to have the option to use them but so far haven't been able to figure out how.

Heidi-
On the iPad, go to Settings-General-Bluetooth. Set Bluetooth to ON and a new window appears while the iPad searches for Bluetooth devices.
To get the keyboard into a discoverable mode, you may need to remove its batteries for a while. If it is not possible to get it to appear on the iPad, could the keyboard be defective? Can it be discovered by other computers?

DBT-120, Apple Wireless Keyboard, and a Mystery

My Apple Wireless Keyboard randomly goes through these periods where it will disconnect for no reason. I don't recieve a "Connection Lost" message, and the bluetooth icon in the menu bar still believes it's connected -- the keys just don't do anything. If I attempt to disable bluetooth and then enable the computer gets stuck with the spinning beach-ball of doom. If turn the keyboard on and off nothing happens. If I unplug the D-Link DBT-120 Rev. B2 from the built-in USB and plug it back in, a few seconds later the keyboard works again.
I have changed the batteries and that hasn't resolved anything. I've attempted to change the DBT-120 to a different Built-In USB port and still nothing. I've attempted to pinpoint a specific program, task, or enviromental item but have failed. I can't find a common thread.
Sometimes this will happen once or twice in an hour period. Sometimes it will happen every 2 minutes. Restarting the computer also corrects the issue for a while. It will go days once and a while without the issue... the sometimes it'll happen for hours on end.
The DBT-120 is up to date with the latest firmware. And I of course can't install the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Firmware because I'm already in Tiger. Nor do I have access to a machine that I can.
I contacted D-Link and they said they have had no reported issues... The only calls they have received about the DBT-120 Rev B2 not working were caused by PC driver issues... or a unit that died caused by power surges. He said if the unit was causing the issue the OS would lose Bluetooth all together -- it would be the same as just unplugging it.
So.... any ideas?

Have you tried pulling the batteries out, & maybe try a set of fresh Alkaline batteries?

Can a Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Wake my MB?

Hello Everyone,
I just purchased an external monitor, which I am planning on wall-mounting. While at my desk, I will have my MacBook in a drawer with the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse on the desk, in order to create more space. Which brings me to my question.
If I keep my MacBook in the drawer with the lid closed, will I be able to wake it into clamshell mode with the Apple Wireless Keyboard and / or Bluetooth Mighty Mouse?
Thanks!

You can find the Apple Bluetooth card on eBay for as little ten dollars (says its for the 2008 model Mac Pro, not sure about the 2007).
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bluetooth-Board-iMac-and-Mac-Pro-922-8233-922-8233-/1208 49278570
Here is a link to a full explanation of the card and how to install it. Part numbers may differ a bit as that is an old article and newer models have come out.
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/Mac_Pro/Bluetooth_MacPro_install/Bluetooth_Ma cPro_install.html
Just make sure that the part will work in your model Mac Pro. To that end, you may be better off avoiding eBay and going to a parts reseller. There are even third party cards that use the internal Apple bluetooth slot.
http://fastmac.com/bluetooth.php
In theory, using a USB or PCI card will work at login so long as it is recognized by Apples drivers. You say you need to launch an application to use your current USB Bluetooth dongle? If it is not controlled by the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar then it must be using a third party driver of some sort. Unfortunately, I don't know off hand which USB and PCI cards are supported.

Are the apple wireless keyboards and mac book pro keyboards the same size?

Are the apple wireless keyboards and the mac book pro keyboards the same size? I have the most current wireless keyboard and I use it with my iPad. Thanks in advance

I took it to the same shop where i purchased they sent it to the apple
service centre and it is a week and no one informed me abt the problem
or the action on it.
We are mainly just users to users here, and sometimes a Apple folk will respond, but it's just a direction to a Apple support document, no service or account issues are handled here.
Will they replace the mac book pro as it is still in warranty
We don't know what Apple will decide to do in your case, the best source of information is the shop you brought it to.
They might be in the process of fixing it, or they might be deciding they need to keep your machine for investigation.
Apple will take care of you, make sure you buy AppleCare and a external drive for TimeMachine if you haven't already.

TS3048 My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

I would always have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand (need not be expensive ... any cheap wired devices will work). "Emergency recovery" procedures can activate features in random order, so the opportunity to select a recovery partition may pass before the wireless devices are recognized.
That will let you select the "turn on Bluetooth" icon.

Does the 1st generation apple wireless keyboard work with an iPad?

Hi
I want to get a keyboard for my iPad but I don't know if this one works with my iPad 2. Can someone help please??!!

Should work just fine, I have a 1G Apple wireless keyboard and it connected just fine to my iPad 3.
Any reason why you want to use a first generation Apple keyboard? They require 3 AA batteries and can drain them fairly fast. The second and present wireless keyboard only needs 2 AA's and the batteries last much longer. I use rechargeable batteries in my 2G keyboard as well and since my charger only charges batteries in pairs makes the 1G limited to alkaline batteries.

Apple wireless keyboard and magic mouse disconnecting

Just bought new MBP Retina Display (OSX 10.8.2) to replace 1st Gen. MacAir. Used to use Apple Wireless Keyboard and MM on old Air and worked flawlessley for years. New MBP installed both of these older items (keyboard and MM) cleanley when I set up, but almost instantly, after about one minute of working, the keyboard and MM disconnect themselves and the only way to reconnect is power them off and then power back up. I have hanged the batteries on both to high end ones and they are still holding charge very wel.
In my office I have a work PV that also uses two USB wireless devices for the PC keyboard and mouse and then also a small HDX Jam Bluetooth speaker. Also, my iPhone and iPad are around. My Airport Express is about two feet away from the MBP as well. Again, all of these worked just fine with my Air for over five years.
I took the MBP, keyboard and MM into the Apple store and had them check it out. Of course it worked perfectley while I was there, plus I learned that in my new MBP the wireless card has the bluetooth built into it and unless my wireless connections got wonky, then the chances of it being hardware were slim.
I am so out of options. I have tried to identify all environmental factors. I have tried moving the MBP closer, further, etc. and still nothing. It is the wierdest thing and now getting very frustrating because I am having to use the MBP keyboard all the time and it is supposed to be up on a stand and in a more ergonomically friendly position.
Anyone got any suggestions? Is there something I am missing? Is there something in my environment I am unaware of that could be contributing to this?

I have a 15" MBP Retina display from 2012, Lion 10.7.5, running lid closed with bluetooth mouse and keyboard. My desk configuration has not changed but in the last couple of weeks I get both devices disconnecting simultaneously, once or twice per day. The dashed bar disappears from the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar.
I turn bluetooth off and on (lift the lid, using keypad), and then it all works again. I don't need to even touch the mouse or keyboard they instantly reconnect. It is not the magic mouse battery problem, I've suffered through that and have it licked, and that would only take out the mouse. There's nothing obvious in the system logs. No change I know of in nearby electrical appliances or WiFi configuration.

Yes. Pair using Bluetooth with your MacBook Air.

Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mice Drop Off | Hot Run Temp 2 Life | Crash

I find that The Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mice stay connected but lose functionality. I have to reboot the mouse and keyboard. Pairing the devices again also fixed the problem temporarily. The drops are quite annoying and I see some commonality in some of the other posts.
In Second Life the processor runs at 183 degrees which is much higher
Mac Crashes. Never had this before the Grey Screen of Death. I think this occurred in Itunes.

I'm also having Bluetooth problems. The mouse periodically "slows to a crawl" and I have to cycle it's power.
