Frozen screen with no connection with mouse or keyboard

Hello,
My iMac has frozen on the start up page. I googled what might be wrong and came up with a bluetooth connection problem. So, I bought a wired mouse and it still won't 'wake up'. The wired mouse doesn't work either. Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any techy help!

Reboot and immediately hold down the Alt/Option key during the sound that Linc mentioned, until a grey screen with a choice of boot disks appears. Choose your Mac OS X boot disk.

I was just scrolling through my apps when the screen suddenly froze. A force shutdown didn't work and when I pressed the silent on/off button, there was no vibration either. The frozen screen faded to white with a few lines and about 10 minutes later, the edges started to turn black, forming a ring which got larger till about 4 hours later, the screen turned completely black. I tried connecting to iTunes but it wasn't detecting the phone and I can't do anything with it now... When it turned completely black, I charged it and after a while, the low batt screen came on but it was fuzzy and flickering with the white ring... What to do know ???????

Restart your computer while holding down left mouse key. That will eject the CD and your Mac will start as normal.

What's there to help? You dropped your phone and now it's broken. You'll have to bring your phone into Apple for an out of warranty exchange. If you purchased Apple Care+ is will cost $49.00, if not, it will be $199.00

My iTunes playlist page on PC is frozen and I cannot connect to store for purchase. I missed an iTunes update download this week and I don't know if this would fix a bug. How can I recover this download to have the latest update.

It would be best to post this question under iTunes category. I am sure there are a few people having the same type of problem.

Problem with xfce and/or mouse and keyboard

Hi!
Two days ago I've turned on my laptop with Arch and the display manager Slim has frozen immediately. Later on Single-User mode I've uninstalled it. Now in normal mode when I type "startxfce4" everything is showing up, but the mouse and keyboard don't work. I know it's not frozen, because animation of mouse and CPU Frequency Monitor is on.
Strange fact is that laptop is not connecting with the Internet, so now I don't know where the problem is.
It's happening when I start xfce both from user and super user.
Just before those troubles I've updated everything with "pacman -Syu", but I haven't seen anything strange. Also the computer could have been roughly turned off (by unplugging power supply), when was turning on.
Thanks,
Gaba

Sorry for not replying, but I didn't have access to my laptop by this time.
On grub I have only normal mode and 'fallback' mode, so I have result from 'journalctl' from normal mode.
I'm sending the fragment of this file where you can see everything after I typed 'startxfce4' in console:
http://codepad.org/8pYIj8qC
I see that something is wrong, but after some attempts I don't know how to fix this ^^
Edit:
Oh, I forgot to write, that I've tried activate some drivers from 'lspci -k' (there were no "Kernel driver in use:..." in almost every device), but it didn't fi anything.

SGE2010: stack member reboots with 'Lost connection with unit x reason 0x20097'

Hi All,
Over the last 2 months we've had repeated issues with SGE2010 units in a stacking configuration rebooting randomly.
Prior to a member reboot occuring we see the following logging message via SNMP Trap on on the unit's internal logging via the GUI:
'Lost connection with unit x reason 0x20097'
We've made attempts at consulting Linksys/Cisco support regarding this 'feature' but aren't really getting anywhere with 1st level support who don't seem to understand much about supporting the device.
The layout is thus:
* 3 x SGE2010 units all of the same firmware version (3.0.1.0)
* Stack configured in a ring topology
* Cat6 cabling used on the stacking ports
* 7 VLAN's
* Mixture of trunking + VLAN tagging & standard ports configured
We've tried the following:
* Swapping out the member that reboots with another, but we get the same behaviour even with a new unit after about three weeks of running
* Changing the cabling between the members, same behaviour
* Upgrading the firmware from a previous version to the current 3.0.1.0
I'm not really keen on factory resetting the whole show & reconfiguring 144 ports by hand (the downtime will cost my users dearly, not to mention carpal tunnel from overuse of the web GUI)
Is anyone able to clarify what a reason code of 0x20097 is?
At least understanding what the error is may allow us to better understand the condition in which the switch decides it must reboot.

Hi Lee,
The small Business support center (SBSC) is the place to get this problem resolved. If the technician needs to get the error code looked at by a Product Engineer, then they have to escalate your call into the bowels of Cisco development.
Please call into the SBSC again, and try to reopen or open a new case. This call has to be resolved or escalated.
You have the ability to say to the technician ,
1. "I want this call escalated" or
2. " I want to speak to the Manager On Duty to esclatate the call"
If you have any issues, please let me know.
My email address is dhornste at cisco.com (remove the spaces and replace at with @)
here is a link to get hopefully a local number to call into the SBSC.

How do I fix bluetooth connection between mouse and keyboard with iMac. iPhone won't connect to bluetooth either

Bluetooth on Mac os x won't work with keyboard, mouse or iphone. Keyboard and mouse both have new batteries and go discoverable when switched on, i have gone into system setup and tried connecting. It connects briefly with mouse then drops in and out of connection, keyboard does same, asking for passcode then no connection. I'm lost... my phone can pick up keyboard, so i think it is bluetooth in mac.

Go to ~/LIbrary/Preferences
Move the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
Try re "pairing" the keyboard.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
For Lion: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

Bluetooth problem with OSX Yosemite: Magic Mouse and Keyboard

Hello everyone,
I've a problem on my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 13" (late 2013).
I've always used it plugged with an external monitor (I love double screen), magic mouse and bluetooth keyboard. On Mavericks everything was perfect with this setup.
Yesterday I installed OSX Yosemite and I've found a boring problem: my Magic Mouse and my Bluetooth Keyboard have a 0.5 second of latency, lag. This happen when the Macbook is not plugged with battery charger. When he is on charge, the problem don't exist.
I noticed this bug also on the public beta of this summer and submit the feedback.
I hoped that they fixed this before release but the bug is still here.
How can i solve this boring problem?

I also reported this issue again and again during each beta release.
This makes the MacBook basically unusable in battery power for doing any kind of design and coding work.
I don't have any bluetooth addons or third party utilities. I also tried clearing PRAMs, and reinstalling Yosemite, to no avail.
Here are some threads about the issue, which, I'm noticing, is common.
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1802931
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1802838
Note that while the issue is kind of tolerable using the mouse, it's tragic with the keyboard.
Does this prevent you from using OS X Yosemite?
The issue makes it very difficult for me to use OS X Yosemite
For the report, here are the issues I submitted about this using the feedback assistant:

How can I save a form with database connections with the info w/o requiring the connection again?

I have a form in LiveCycle ES2 that has an ODBC connection to an Access 2007 database. The form works great and all the data populates the form just fine, but next I need a way to save the generated form with the data so it can be sent and signed by people who won't (and can't) have a connection to the database. I am developing on a Windows 7, 64 bit machine and have Adobe Acrobat X Pro, and Adobe Reader X.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the quick response. I tried saving the form as Reader Extended in Acrobat Pro, but if I close the form I saved as extended, it still prompts for the data connection. Is there some setting in Adobe LiveCycle in the properties that maybe needs to be set? I have it set as a Dynamic XML Form. In form properties, there is a tab called data binding, should I have "Allow binding to data not defined by the default data connection" checked? Wasn't sure what "Add data nodes inside the filtered data hierarchy" would do either.

Problem With loosing connection with wired PC

I have a model WRT54GS wireless router. My computer is wired into the back of the router. I loose the connection to the internet sometimes and when I check the connection status it says my computer is connected to another Router. Then it asks me if I want to configure it. If I turn the router off and on it will run again. The firmware version is 7.5. Can anyone help with this issue?

Do you use the sleep or hibernate mode? I have a similar problem, v 8.0, but so far the only time I lose the connections is when the computer goes to sleep. If I leave it up, the bits keep on moving. Just curious.

HT1218 Does anyone else have a constant problem with losing connection with smart phone due to airport

phones are constantly searching for internet connection My time capsule/air port is always losing internet connection----anyone know how to solve this?

Wireless interference is probably the cause.
If there are competing wireless networks in your area, there is little you can do other than to use 5 GHz with all the devices capable of it. For iOS devices, only iPads and the newest iPhone is. Macs have supported 5 GHz for many years.

Has anyone had issues with 4G Connectivity with their Windows HTC 8X?

I recently upgraded to the Windows HTC8X and have not had 4G service since. I've only had the device about three weeks and initially had 4G service. Now I barely get service at all. Ivive in washington DC, the entire city is in a 4G service area yet no matter where I go in the city, no 4G service, only 3G and that is sporatic. HELP!!

Both inside and outside areas. no issues so far with voice calls or text messages. I cannot access the internet most times, get error messages that page is not found or unable to access the file at this time. Have just abut given up on using the web feature. Will not allow me access to my wifi portal at work. Have powered on and off several times. Another issue I have is when I power off and the phone is connected to the charger it will automatically power back on. I don't like that at all and this phone is just one big battery, you cannot take the battery out and put back in, lol. Have been working with Verizon Tech support for two weeks so far not go with resolving issue. Waiting now for new sim card to see if that helps.

Macbook pro freezes with iPod connected with lid closed

I've noticed that whenever I have my iPod connected to my MBP, and I close the lid, often times the MBP won't go to sleep, the latch light stays a constant bright. When I try opening the lid, fans and the hard drive are spinning, and nothing is responsive. I have to go with a hard shut down.
What's up with that?

Remove the battery to find your serial number in the battery bay. Then you can look your MBP up on EveryMac.com:
http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/
That will give you all the information on your Mac.
This is assuming that you have the MBP with the removable battery and not the unibody. The unibody has different graphic chips.
Good luck!
