Hangs on boot with Logitech wireless keyboard

I am running Windows 7 on a Thinkpad W510 and just bought a Logitech S520 wireless keyboard and mouse.
When I try to boot, the system hangs at the Thinkpad splash screen.
I updated the BIOS to the latest version but it had no effect. I also changed the boot sequence so that USB boot was after HD boot.
This had no effect and the system still hangs on boot.
If I remove the USB receiver the system boots fine and I can then insert the USB receiver and everything works propely.
Is there anything that I am missing? This just doesn't make sense.
Thanks for any further suggestions.

I have the newer port replicator (issued July ?? 2010) and it is always plugged in to USB 2 port. From the port replicator I go to a powered USB hub. In the later I have the transmitter for my Logitech mouse. I have never tried the Logitech transmitter directly in my laptop so can indicate whether that would hang my system and at least right now I'm not interesting in trying it.

Does the ios7work with Logitech wireless keyboard? It worked until upgraded

Does IOS7 work with the Logitech wireless keyboard. After installing IOS 7 it is not working now

I assume your wireless KB is third-party (as Apple does not make a BT KB with numeric keys). I suggest you contact the manufacturer for guidance.

HT4111 I have an IPAD updated with iSO 7. Recently I purchased a logitech wireless keyboard and I went to pair the two up and the IPAD shows that the keyboard is paired or connected but when I type using the keyboard it does not transfer to the pad scene.

I have an IPAD updated with iSo 7. Recently I purchased a logitech wireless keyboard.
I went to pair the two up and the IPAD recognizes the keyboard and cites that it is connected.
But I proceed to type the words do not transfer to the screen.
Any suggestions? Techs at Best Buy state that the iSO 7 is not yet compatible with the keyboard manufacturers?
How long before they are?

The BestBuy guys are clueless. I use a Logitech BT Tablet keyboard with my iPad 4 - used it before with iOS 6 and use it now with iOS 7 and it works just fine.
A simply thing to try is to remove the BT pairing, reset your iPad (hold the on/off/sleep button and the home button at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears), then try repairing them. You may have to force the keyboard back into pairing mode (on mine, there is a button on the underside, near the on/off switch, that I would press and hold for second or two to force pairing mode).

Resettting PRAM with a wireless keyboard?

I used to reset the PRAM by restarting and holding alt+command+p+r
My new iMac came with a wireless keyboard and this way of resetting is not working. Aparently the Mac starts before it hooks with the keyboard.
Is there any way to achieve this?

I haven't tried yet, but I would think pressing Command+Option+P+R shortly after hearing the boot chime when you see the keyboard green light (upper right corner) appear would work. Just like one has to do when choosing boot partitions (Option key at boot). I would suspect you would have to release the keys and then press them again for the next boot since PRAM resets need two boots. See this Apple article.

Bios reset with a wireless keyboard

my all in one was upluged from the wall while it was in sleep mode, it came with a wireless keyboard and mouse, it never turned back on and a bios reset was suggested, it did not work with the wireless keyboard and mouse. i plugged a non h.p. keyboard in and still nothing, is a h.p. keyboard required to make this reset? any other suggestions?

Is the computer running when you boot and do you hear the fans working?
The other keyboard you used, is it a USB keyboard.
Please mark my post as SOLVED if it has resolved your problem. It helps others with similar situations.

Wireless printer interferes with my wireless keyboard

Prior to installing my wireless HP printer, I never had an issue with my logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. But now my wireless keyboard is acting strange. I will be typing and then certain letters and numbers will not register or during short periods, nothing will type. The Logitech instructions does say that this issue can be caused by other wireless equipment using RF to transmit but has no solution. If I turn the printer off and restart my computer it is fine but this is not a very convenient solution. Is there another alternative?

I appreciate your questions. My new printer is an HP lazerjet color mfp m175nw (channel 11). My keyboard is a Logitech Cordless Desktop ex 100. The software does not indicate a channel for the mouse but for the keyboard says channel 2 - I assume they are the same channel except that I have had no issues with the mouse, just the keyboard. The keyboard uses a security password so it will not interfer with other devices while the mouse does not.
Are you saying the printer and keyboard are usually on the same channel?
Last night during our correspondence, I took the steps of turning off the printer, resetting the connector by holding the button 10 seconds, restarted the computer, reinstalled the keyboard and mouse sw, reconnected the keyboard and controller, set the security password for the keyboard and turned the printer back on. So far so good - no skipping and repeating of letters and numbers.

I am using Photoshop CS5 on a new iMac with a wireless keyboard. I used to be able to hit F11 to perform a custom sharpening action but now the F11 key is the volume control key and I have tried everything to disable or switch the volume key. I have also tried assigning other function keys to initiate the action. Is there a simple solution to this? What am I missing?

Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

Have it replaced by the vendor.

No function key with apple wireless keyboard

I recently purchased an Apple Wireless Keyboard. I have it working just fine with my macbook pro, and want to use keyboard special characters as a mouse because I'll be using my old laptop as a TV entertainment computer. The only problem is that the function key seems to not exist, which is crucial in order to use special keys as mouse movement keys. If I bring up the keyboard viewer and type with the wireless keyboard, the keyboard viewer shows the keyboard layout without a funciton key. I would expect something like this with a non-apple peripheral, but not a standard apple keyboard. What must be done to enable or have all of the keyboard's keys, function key in particular, recognized?
BTW - I did apply the firmware update for the keyboard, but to no avail.
OS X 10.5.8

Hi mate,
This worked for me:

What's going on with my wireless keyboard and mouse power status?

My iMac (Nov. 2009) came with the wireless keyboard and mouse. When the original batteries wore out, I started using rechargeable batteries and that has worked fine. This is Energizer recharger, not Apple's. I've used and recharged them for well over a year now. When my batteries are freshly recharged, my iMac tells me I have something like 75% charge.
Earlier this week I'm being told that the batteries have 100% charge. They've never been 100% charged, even when they were new. I haven't charged the batteries for several weeks either when suddenly I supposedly have 100% charge.
What's going on?

This is a change that occurred with the 10.6.7 update. Everyone suddenly has 100% charge when other tools report less. Either it's a bug or they adjusted the scale by which it's measured. Some users report that the percentage starts to decrease after the battery is more depleted.
There's a widget you can use in dashboard in the mean time. Located here:

We'll wait and see if this is a bug or intentional.

Try a reset of the iPad (hold the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears (15-20 sec)).

Can I use my magic mouse with my wireless keyboard and iPad2

Sorry, but no. Because the iPad does not have a cursor for you to use the mouse with.

IPad 2 can't pair with iMac wireless Keyboard (late 2009)

ipad 2 will not pair with wireless keyboard that came with iMac late 2009.
I've read countless ways to do this in support forums, but no matter what I do, I can not get the ipad 2 to work with my wireless keyboard.
In settings>bluetooth, I UNCHECKED discoverable for the keyboard, as I've read many times.
I then clicked the minus button and a box came up ( I can not recall what it said but it basically asked if I wanted to ?remove? the device, and I clicked OK.
Then, I went to the iPad 2, into bluetooth, and went to pair it. The keyboard was discoverable, and then something with a code came up on the iPad screen, and I clicked OK.
NOTHING happened, even though it said it was connected.
I looked at my iMac screen, and there was something there with a code that had to be typed in? This is where I get confused. I disconnected the keyboard, yet I got a box on the iMac screen, asking me to put the code in to pair it with the ipad 2 ! I figured it must be a mistake, because I disconnected the keyboard from the imac.
well, I tried to key in the code and it worked on the IMAC...which, technically, it should not have been able to do.
I've watched countless Youtube videos, read through the support forums here and...I can't find anyone with this same problem and so, I toss it out to you all in Apple Support.
What could I be doing wrong??
Thanks.

Spoke with an Apple Care Tech today on this issue:
Apparently, this is how it works : First, you have to go to BLUE TOOTH and when you see your keyboard, delete it or remove it, and then shut down the computer.
Then, you must go to your iPAD. (initially, your blue tooth on iPAD should be TURNED OFF- now, turn it ON.
Press and hold the button on the right side of your keyboard for 5 seconds, and watch for it to blink then go off.
Next, push the button on the side of the keyboard again, it will go on.
On your ipad, under Blue Tooth, you will see some numbers and it might say NOT CONNECTED. Click that.
Be patient and then under that, something like YOUR NAME KEYBOARD will appear. Click it and it will give you a code to type in. Type it in. Be patient. Might not take the first time. Do it again. When the code comes up again, type it in again.
This worked for me as suddenly the keyboard was paired with the iPAD 2.
When you want to unpair it, turn blue tooth on the ipad OFF. Turn your computer back on. Initially your screen will come up to sign in (if you have it set up that way). In a few seconds, you will see that your keyboard has reconnected to your Mac. Sign in and that's that:)

Mac mini issue:lost connectivity with the wireless keyboard

I lost connectivity with the wireless keyboard and I can't unlock the lock screen.What can i do?

Sometimes powering the keyboard off by holding in the power button on the right end of the battery box and then after ten of so seconds powering up again will reestablish the connection. Other than that forcing a reboot using the power switch on the mini should restore the connection unless thereis something else going on.
If this is a recurring problem try replacing the batteries with fresh ones. If this keyboard has been paired with another bluetooth device such as an iPad or another Mac, unpair it from the other device.

TS3048 I am having a problem with my wireless keyboard on my iMac

I am having a problem with my wireless keyboard on my iMac. Sometimes the keys seem to have a life of their own and I get a string of the same letter or symbol even though I only pressed the key once. Does anyone know how to rectify this?

Hello:
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.
If that does not help, the KB is probably failing.
