G580 Keyboard and Boot manager

Hi,
I have only Windows 7 OS on my machine and every time I start my Laptop,
1)Windows boot manager appears asking me to choose Operating system.
Is there anyway to avoid boot manager.
2) The key board is not functioning properly. Shorcut keys like Windows+ R or Windows + E, 2 key on Num pad is not workng and sometimes on pressing space bar continuous ... is appearing.
This is not working in safe mode as well as I tried one key recovery. But still it isn't working.
Can anyone help me?
I have tried lenovo service , but its pathetic and they are properly providing solution or not providing service for it.

Hi Amitpa,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
We sorry to hear that the hear that the keyboard is not working as expected even after perfomring OSRI(Operating System Re-Installation), as per RMattoo it seems to be a hardware issue with the keyboard.
As an alternative please check with an "External Keyboard" and if there is no issue, I would request you to contact Lenovo Technical Support for Hardware assistance to get the keyboard replaced.
Please do give this a try and let us know.
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar

Acronis TImage Zone versus R@R partition and boot management

hi,
I am interested in explanation a problem with cooperation of Acronis True Image software and IBM Rescue and Recovery.
How these programs can cooperate in boot sector and boot management, What about IBM pre-instaled software in this situation, and how used both of program without problems.
please help

Brad,
are you still able to boot to the drive which has the image?
The folder where the images are is protected so that it can't be seen from Viruses etc which might have infected the same drive, hence they are "invisible".
If you can still boot it you can use the R&R console to copy the image from the drive to an usb drive or to dvds. Make sure that you also create a rescue cd in Create Recovery Media.

Bluetooth keyboard and booting up bootcamp - HELP!

Hello
I recently decided to upgrade to a apple bluetooth keyboard.
The problem is that when i try to boot up into bootcamp the keyboard is not detected meaning i can hold ALT to go to the OS selection screen.
I am using a Bluetooth dongle since apple decided to make things difficult and stop selling the bluetooth module in store.
Thanks in advance.

I've been strugling with the exact same problem. I haven't gotten the wirelss one to work often in selecting boot drive, but I have always gotten my USB non-apple keyboard to work. Recently I started to really trouble shoot it. I tried another wireless apple keyboard (the one prior to the mini) and it didn't work either. I decided then to call apple care and see their opinion. Sadly, they asked me to take my keyboards in (which I thought was silly considering probability). So then I tested my mini-keyboard on another mac and...it worked flawlessly. There is obviously and issue with either a - the mac pro and bluetooth startup time (maybe it is initializing our devices after the window to hold the key) or b - we just have completely messed up bluetooth chips and it would be an issue regardless of being on the MP. Either way, this is irritating.

Hi，
I think you can start your computer and long press F8 or other keys (depends on the PC model) to enter the BIOS, set the boot option, make the PC boot from CD\ROM Drive, then customize the installation, resize the partition, you can refer

Mac Mini 2014 with Apple bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse

Hi all,
I'm currently in the process of moving from my old MacBook to a Mac Mini 2014 and I have a couple of questions regarding functionality of the Apple bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse with the Mac Mini.
As these are the only keyboard and mouse I have available to me as I currently only have the one computer in the house, I'm wondering how I will pair them with my new Mac Mini (arriving next week for Christmas) without a wired user input device (keyboard or mouse). When I paired them with my MacBook, I of course had its trackpad and keyboard to navigate through the various steps, but as the Mac Mini does not have these, how does the pairing process work? Will I have to get my hands on a wired mouse/keyboard? I'm asking in advance because I need to get my new system up and running to start work on 27th December and so I need to know if I should pick up a cheap wired mouse/keyboard in advance.
My second question relates to the Mac Mini, Apple bluetooth keyboard and Boot Camp. Usually, when I want to boot into Windows on my MacBook, I hold down the Option/Alt key on my MacBook's built-in keyboard to be given the choice of operating systems. Sometimes when I do this using the bluetooth keyboard, it hasn't paired in time and it boots straight into OS X, so I have to wait until that has booted, shut down and then try again. Clearly, this might be a problem on a Mac Mini if I have urgent work I need to complete in Windows, so rebooting over and over until my keyboard finally pairs in time isn't desirable. Any tips here would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your help!

If you unpair your BT KB and mouse from the old computer they should pair during the initial setup of the Mini. However, sometimes they donot a wired KB and mouse is required. You can use any USB PC KB and mouse.
Once you get the BT KB to work you can use the Option key on the BT KB while booting to get your choice of OS to boot into.

Running Boot Camp in Windows 7 with Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Magic Mouse

NOTE: I was installing a fresh copy of Windows 7 Professional on a 27" iMac mid-2010 with a Processor Speed of 2.93 GHz, a Core i7 Processor Type, a Quad Core Processor Configuration, 8GB RAM, and a ATI Radeon HD 5750 Graphics Card. I run Snow Leopard so it is a 64-bit OS. I have a Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Magic Mouse as well. In order to install Windows 7 you need a Wired Keyboard and Mouse. You will also need a Wired Keyboard and Wired Mouse to update Boot Camp.
Updating Boot Camp Assistant (VERY IMPORTANT)
First, plug in a wired keyboard and wired mouse. The Boot Camp Assistant version that came with my iMac was 3.0 so I upgraded it to 3.1 and then to 3.2. I'm not sure if only the upgrade to 3.1 is necessary, but I took it a step further. I was told by Apple Tech Support that you first needed to upgrade to version 3.1 before being able to upgrade to 3.2 These upgrades will not be found using Software Update on the Mac. However, they can be found at http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents
They also have software updates for 32-bit machines as well and MacBook Pro updates.
NOTE: Before updating the version of Boot Camp, but after installing Windows 7 and after putting in the Mac OS X Install DVD to run Setup.exe to download the Mac drivers, run Software Update for the Mac while logged into Windows 7 by clicking on Start - All Programs - Software Update for any additional updates.
Next I installed Boot Camp Software Update 3.1 for Windows 64 bit found at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1336
I then ran Software Update for the Mac while logged into Windows 7 by clicking on Start - All Programs - Software Update
Then I installed Boot Camp Software Update 3.2 for Windows 64 bit found at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL979
I then installed Boot Camp 3.2 Update for iMac (early 2011) found at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL979 but I'm not sure if this was necessary.
Once Boot Camp 3.2 has been installed I ran Software Update for the Mac again while logged into WIndows 7 to make sure I had all the updates.
Configuring a Bluetooth device on a Windows-based computer
(from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/952818)
How to make sure that the Bluetooth service is started (MY COMPUTER WAS ALREADY SET UP TO RUN BLUETOOTH, SO THE NEXT 8 STEPS COULD BE OPTIONAL)
Open the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in for Services. To do this, follow these steps.
Windows Vista or Windows 7Windows XP
Click Start, and then click Run.
Copy and then paste (or type) the following command in the Open box, and then press ENTER:services.msc
Click Start , copy and then paste (or type) the following command in the Start Searchbox, and then press ENTER:services.msc
In the Programs list, click Services.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
Double-click the Bluetooth Support service.
If the Bluetooth Support service is stopped, click Start.
On the Startup type list, click Automatic.
Click the Log On tab.
Click Local System account.
Click OK.
If you prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.
How to connect the Bluetooth device to the computer
1. First off, you need to go into Mac OS and remove the keyboard and mouse from your Bluetooth settings entirely. You'll add them back in later (see 9) below).
2. Boot into Windows using a USB connected Mouse and Keyboard.
3. Go to Control Panel – Hardware and Sound – Device and Printers – Add a Device
4. Turn on the Mouse to send out a signal and once it sees it select it to be paired to the computer
5. Run 3.) again except select the keyboard.
6. Turn on the Keyboard to send out a signal and once it sees it select it to be paired to the computer by typing in the 8 digit number into the wireless keyboard and hit ENTER/RETURN.
7. To see if everything was added go to Devices and Printers and see if they were added to the list.
8. Shutdown Windows 7 and Restart using Mac OSX. If you adjusted the Boot Camp settings while in Windows 7 you will see a Boot Camp icon in the system tray located at the bottom right of the screen. From here you can logoff and reboot in Mac OSX. If you don't, do a RESTART and hold the Option key down after hearing the GONG and select the Mac HD option while logging in. Now it's time to add back the wireless mouse and keyboard to be recognized by your Mac.
9. Go to System Preferences – Internet and Wireless – Bluetooth
10. Hit the “+” button to launch the Bluetooth Setup Assistant to find the devices sending out the signal.
11. Highlight the device found and hit “Continue”
12. Do this for both the keyboard and mouse. You will be prompted to type in the 8 digit code into the wireless keyboard in order to pair it with your computer.
13. Click on the pinwheel next to the “-“ sign to rename the wireless devices if you'd like.
I then logged back into Windows 7 to see if the mouse and keyboard were functional and had no problems. For some reason, Windows has problems pairing bluetooth devices that are already paired under a Mac OSX. Many people have updated Boot Camp, yet still were not able to pair their wireless devices because they didn't break the Bluetooth connection on the Mac side first. So both steps are necessary (1) Updating to at least Boot Camp 3.1 if not 3.2 and (2) Deleting the Wireless mouse and keyboard link while running Mac OSX before trying to pair them in a Windows OS.

I found the answers by trial and errors.
@ is obtained by CTRL + OPT + 2
# is obtained by CTRL + OPT + 3
(without shift or caps lock)
These two signs are critical and I fail to understand why this information is not readily available from the help function or from the Apple support.

Keyboard and mouse randomly don't work after boot

Hello there, I have been having a problem lately with the keyboard. Some times after the booting process it doesn't work, forcing me to restart my laptop even 3 or 4 times before getting it to work properly.
Here is the keyboard boot process. wich has actually a problem that I can't understand clearly.
dmesg |grep keyboard
[ 2.308714] atkbd serio0: Failed to deactivate keyboard on isa0060/serio0
[ 2.959550] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input0
I noticed this error during the boot preocess, how should it be interpreted?
I'm sure in the kernel, the device atkbd is selected.
The synaptics mouse instead, doesn't work properly in X
My mouse is a synaptic touchpad and when I start x, instead of loading the synaptic device, xfce simply see it as ps/2. Also this happens randomly.
dmesg |grep mouse

Any suggestion?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Has your keyboard and mouse quit working altogether or just when the computer is hot? And do I understand that an external keyboard and mouse will work with no problems?
And I am wondering about your computer running unusually hot. Are your fans operating properly? You might want to run the extended version of the Apple Hardware test to be sure that the fans and thermal sensors are working properly. If they are not, you will get one or more error codes.
Another thing to do to check when your Mac is unusually hot is the Activity Monitor. Select "All Processes" at the top right and check for any process running that should not be which is using lots of CPU.
I don't know if the keyboard problem is related to the heat problem or not, but I would want to know what is causing the heat problem too. Over time, excessive heat can cause damage to the logic board. It could also conceivably damage the ribbon cable which connects the keyboard and I would guess that the trackpad could also be affected. So it is important to see what is going on here. If you have been experiencing excessive heat on a regular basis, this might be the underlying cause of your keyboard and trackpad problems. If so, the heat problem will have to be fixed or the other problem will recur over time.
Try the AHT and post back with any results. Also, use iStatPro to check on your fans and make sure both are running at roughly equal speeds and that they run faster when the computer gets hot.
Good luck!

Keyboard and mouse no longer work when booting into Rhapsody

I still have a bootable partition with the last release of Rhapsody (aka Mac OS X Server) on my Power Mac G4 but it's been a while (years!) since I actually booted it up. The G4 also has bootable partitions with Mac OS X 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 (and is in daily use running 10.4.11).
I used to boot into Rhapsody occasionally, mostly for interest's sake, occasionally to test Unix software on legacy systems; I haven't tried to do so since installing 10.4 until now.
When I booted up from the Rhapsody partition today, all went well -- the system started up fine, and the login screen appeared -- but the keyboard and mouse no longer work. I even got out the original keyboard and mouse that came with the G4, with no luck.
I assume that recent firmware updates have bypassed support for Rhapsody. I guess I'm not surprised -- it was a developer-only release, after all. But has anyone a solution?

Adding to the above: I also tried plugging in an Microsoft USB keyboard at the point when Windows freezes at the Windows log-in screen. The keyboard is not recognized and the only way I can leave this screen is to power-off the computer.

Boot camp not recognize keyboard and mouse when installing windows 7 pro 64 bit

Hi,
I have some issue when installing windows 7 pro 64 bit using boot camp. after done partitioning the windows drive and when boot to windows installation process, i've got stuck in the first screen when choosing the language. it seems that the keyboard and mouse are not detected.
i'm using boot camp ver. 5.0.
does anyone have similar problem with me?

I have finally successfully installed Windows 7 x64 on MacBook Air 13.3" (2013) thru Bootcamp.
Problem: After Windows 7 install thru BootCamp, I got to the first login screen and not input devices (Mouse, keyboard, USB) worked. I tried to boot into Windows Safemode, but I received the error "Windows can not complete installation in Safe Mode".
Cause: WIndows 7 does not have native USB 3.0 drivers, included on the install images.
Resolution: I downloaded the latest device drivers with thru BootCamp and copied them to the USB Flash Drive that had my bootable Windows 7 x64 install on it. The second option in BootCamp is "Download Support Media". This does more than just download drivers. It creates a file called "autoattended.xml". This is key as it tells Windows during the install process to use the device drivers that you download. Otherwise, you need to do it manually, which you can't because you have no mouse or keyboard.
NOTE: I had no need of a super drive because I had all the files on one USB flash drive. Therefore, I don't think it matter which side of the MBA the USB drive was plugged in, as other solutions suggested.

Keyboard and Mouse no longer recognized when Boot Camp'ing into Windows XP

Mac Pro early 2008, Mac OS X 10.6.2, all updates applied. WinXP SP3. Standard wired Apple smooth mouse.
I normally use Parallels 4.0 to access my Windows XP on this Mac. That's been working fine and continues to do so. I upgraded to Snow Leopard not long after it was released. My Parallels is set to use the Boot Camp partition as the basis for its virtual machine.
I haven't started Windows directly from Boot Camp in some time. It used to work fine also. I am not sure I have accessed it directly from Boot Camp since I upgraded to Snow Leopard.
In any event, when I try to boot into Window, my slim wired Apple USB keyboard and mouse are not recognized. I get to the opening Windows Log-In screen and at that point, I can't move the mouse cursor and I can't type anything into the Windows password input box. The red mouse laser light flashes once every 7 or 8 seconds but also doesn't stay on.
Starting Windows under Parallels still works fine. I downloaded the BootCamp 3.1 Windows 32-bit upgrade from Apple. I tried running it in Windows under Parallels. Something ran for a while when I did that but there was no installation screens or dialogs after I clicked the "run" button.
Not sure what to do next.
Thanks.

Adding to the above: I also tried plugging in an Microsoft USB keyboard at the point when Windows freezes at the Windows log-in screen. The keyboard is not recognized and the only way I can leave this screen is to power-off the computer.

"An error occured with the boot selection verify media is present and retry" from OS Boot Manager

So I'm trying get my HP ProBook 6550p to boot Linux in UEFI mode.
Some sources say that OS Boot Manager points to \EFI\Microsoft\BOOT\bootmgfw.efi in your ESP, I've placed my EFI Shell there as a PoC test, which of course fails and errors out with the above message.
What am I doing wrong here?

That path would be for the Windows UEFI boot manager, which reads the \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD database to get the boot configuration. In order to boot that path, the UEFI firmware has to be configured with that as the default.
If the computer firmware is not configured to boot efi, it will be trying to load the MBR and boot record.
A ufi shell would be in a path such as \EFI\Boot\ShellX64.efi. To get that to work there has to be a shell entry available at boot time. I have only gotten that to work once--and that was NOT on my g7-1117cl laptop.
I have been looking into this for my Pavillion g7-1117cl laptop, so far with no luck. I can boot into the diagnostics on the HP_TOOLS partition under the path \Hewlett-Packard\SystemDiags. This program has the name of SystemDiags.efi or SystemDiags32.efi. Since it can load that efi file it should be able to load bootmgrfw.efi. But it still needs to be configured in the firmware to boot to that file.

Boot Camp: Keyboard and iSight not working

I am a recent Mac convert and just installed Leopard on my MacBook Pro. After going through the Boot Camp installation program I installed Windows Vista Business. Now, when I boot up in Vista my iSight is not detected and my keyboard will not illuminate.
I tried reinstalling the drivers off of the Leopard DVD but to no effect.
Help!

I'm sorry that you are in the same situation. I removed the partition and started the whole process again, reinstalled Vista, added the Boot Camp drivers from the DVD and then went back and added the specific keyboard and iSight drivers individually but NOTHING changed.
If anyone has any suggestions they would be much appreciated.
