Handcream - Miscoloring on Wireless Keyboard/Magic Mouse?

Hi folks,
this question might sound a bit peculiar but I've tried to be as specific as possible:
I suffer from eczema and regulary need to apply cream on my hands - somewhere between 15-20 times a day. I use my MBP on and off the whole day and sometimes the whole evening as well. A few weeks ago I started working using the Wireless Keyboard (latest model) and the Magic Mouse.
When applying the cream I wait a few minutes untill the skin has absorbed most of it, but it is nearly impossible to work without some "leftovers". (Don't know the wright word for it).
So I'm wondering if the cream could have a damaging effect on the WK and the MM? Or maybe some miscoloring?
(I've used these products for a few weeks now and there is no miscoloring so far. Neither has the MBP been miscolored and I've used it since spring 2007. The only cleaning products I've used for the MBP is a cloth and plain water (The tapwater where I live has low levels of chalck in it - I think the term is soft water).
But since the WK and MM are made of different materials they might react differently?
Im sure there are others worrying about something similar. So; are there any dermatologists/doctors/scientists in here?
Im not looking for alternative solutions like wearing gloves, switching to a proven "safe" cream, etc.
Here is a list of what the cream contains:
Aqua
Tridecyl Stearate
Neopentyl Glycol Dicaprylate//Dicaprate
Carbamid
Ethylhexyl palmitate
Tridecyl Trimellitate
Ceteareth-20
Cetyl Alcohol
Stearyl alcohol
Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
BHT
Retinyl palmitate
Cholecalciferol
Phenoxyethanol
Caprylyl alcohol
Imidazolidinyl urea.
Puh...
Let's see if anyone can crack this;)
Thanks in advance!

Hello:
Go to system preferences>bluetooth>advanced.  Be sure "allow Bluetooth devices to wake the computer" is checked.
I would also reset the PRAM and SMC.

  • HT3964 Apple Wireless Keyboard & Magic Mouse Not Working

    i've been using Apple Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse on the iMac since Sep 2009 and they both worked well until one month ago, after cleaning the wireless keyboard, some of the function keys on the top row didn't work anymore while the magic mouse couldn't scroll left/right.  it's really frustrating.  how can i resolve this problem?

    Hi Frank:
    The battery reading anomaly is a known problem (began with OS X 10.6.7) and has been reported to Apple through channels.  As an aside, I use the mighty monitor widget which seems to give correct readings.

  • Wireless Keyboard & Magic Mouse - Battery Power Reporting Problem

    Problem Description: OS X Bluetooth Manager is constantly reporting that my 2009 Apple Wireless Keyboard has a low battery. For instance, Bluetooth Manager reports my Wireless Keyboard Battery Level is 18%. At the same time Bluetooth Manager reports my Mouse Battery Level is 65%. Because the Keyboard Battery Level is low I am being constantly nagged by the Bluetooth Manager about Battery Level and the possibility of the Keyboard disconnecting.
    I decided to swap batteries between the keyboard and mouse as part of a test to see if there is a problem with the way the keyboard or mouse reports available battery power. Sure enough it appears there is a problem with battery power level reporting.
    The batteries that were in the Wireless Keyboard, and that are now in the Magic Mous,e are now reported as having a Mouse Battery Level of 65%, compared to a Keyboard Battery Level of 18%. The batteries that were in the Magic Mouse, and that are now in the Wireless Keyboard, are now reported as having a Keyboard Battery Level of 18%, compared to a Mouse Battery Level of 65%.
    Conclusion, either the Wireless Keyboard, or the Magic Mouse, or both devices are incorrectly reporting the Battery Power Level. It may also be that the OS X Bluetooth Manager is incorrectly reporting the battery level of one or both devices as well.
    This needs Apple to investigate & fix the issue through updates to either the Magic Mouse, 2009 Wireless Keyboard or the OS X Bluetooth Stack.
    I am using Duracell NiMH 1.2V 2000MAh "Stay Charged" Batteries (same as the Apple Store battery version)
    I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.4 + Apple 2009 Wireless Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0 + Bluetooth 2.0.1. Firmware Update.
    So Apple Support Techs... there is the challenge; are you up for investigating and fixing this problem??
    Cheers Pete

    Thanks for the link David. I used the Community Forums because I've found in the past that Apple Support do monitor them and do pick up problems with Apple gear and pass the info back to their developers. Mostly I used the Community Forums because I just couldn't find the link you provided, so thanks again.
    ps Apple & Macintosh are one in the same. My Apple Wireless Keyboard & Apple Magi Mouse are actually performing as per the descriptions in their respective user manuals, especially in terms of how they report battery state through their built in LED lights. So I deduced this as a problem with the Mac-mini Bluetooth Stack, so beleive it is appropriate to this forum.
    I'm sure other users have noticed this, or similar problems, so perhaps they will add their experience of this issue to my original post. When I did a search of the Community Forums using the search term "Keyboard OR Mouse AND Battery" I found plenty of similar issues.
    Thanks again for the link I'll chase Apple through that channel.

  • Apple Wireless keyboard/Magic Mouse battery levels differ

    I have an iMac 27" that my Wireless keyboard came with and a 15" 2.2ghz i7 Quad and go between using both the keyboard and magic mouse with both of the machines.
    However on the iMac the new keyboard shows 40% while the MBP shows 67%
    the mouse is the same.
    Magic Mouse on iMac is 87% and the MBP 100%
    a few weeks ago before i picked up the rechargable battery kit from Apple, i had duracell batteries in the magic mouse and it said 100% for weeks straight which never made sense then randomly said there was 6% left and prompted to replace the batteries.
    is this a hardware issue with the MBP bluetooth or just some glitch in software?
    the iMac is 27" fresh out of the box 10.6.4 while MBP was updated using the 10.6.7 for MBP update.
    thanks,

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard & Magic Mouse reagieren bei Windows 7 Installation nicht

    Guten Abend,
    wie schon im Titel steht, funktionieren sowohl die Tastatur und die Maus bei der Windows 7 Installtion nicht.
    Ich habe auch schon probiert die Installation mit einer USB-Maus und einer USB-Tastatur durchzuführen, jedoch ohne Erfolg.
    Die Partitionierung und die Erstellung des Windows 7 Bootsticks mit Boot Camp hat ohne Probleme funktioniert.
    Ich habe auch versucht Windows 7 mit einem externen DVD-Laufwerk zu installieren. Hat auch nicht funktioniert.
    Ich habe einen iMac 21,5, late 2013 und will Windows 7 64 Bit incl. SP1 installieren.
    Parallels kommt für mich eher weniger in Frage, da ich auch Spiele installieren will.
    Über Tips und Hilfe würde ich mich sehr freuen

    You need your OS X DVD and the files off there AFTER you install Windows.
    You do not want "off the net" other than Apple.
    And with Boot Camp 3.x you will then find updates to 3.1 and 3.2.
    Windows 7 installer does not include the necessary graphics or Bluetooth drivers for your Mac.
    Check Windows 7 Install FAQ with link to a set of drivers (not the ones from Boot Camp Assistant, that feature is BROKEN and has never worked when it was included in 10..6.6.

  • 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?

    magic mouse: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/MB829LLABB/
    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.

  • 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.

    Hi champrider,
    You can use an application such as Apple Remote Desktop to control your iMac remotely. See this article -

  • My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?

    Q.: My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?
    A.: If your wireless keyboard and mouse do not work even after changing the batteries, please try re-syncing them by following these steps.
    1. Make sure the computer is on, plug in the USB receiver. Push the button on the USB receiver until it flashes blue.
    2. While the receiver is still flashing, press the red connect button on the keyboard (Make sure the batteries are installed). The USB receiver should stop flashing after pressing the button on the keyboard. It may take up to 8 seconds to sync.
    3. Repeat the same process for the mouse. Push the button on the USB receiver, then press the connect button on the mouse (Make sure the mouse is on).
    Note: This applies to all MSI All-In-One computers that include the ES500W wireless keyboard and SW130 mouse.

    "This machine has an added 4 USB ports, could this be causing a problem?
    It definitely could be the source of the problem. Perhaps the PCI card was bumped loose during shipping?
    Have you tried removing the card? That's where I would start.
    Keep us posted.

  • 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.
