Help! I can't get my wireless keyboard to work...

What model iMac do you have?  What OS are you using?  What model keyboard do you have?  Is Bluetooth turned on?  Are good batteries in the keyboard?
Good luck.

    I do something like that, and can confirm 20 feet won't be a problem. More than 30 or so might be.

  • How can I get my wireless keyboard battery access to open. It's like the bloody thing has seized up and won't open?

    How can I get my wireless keyboard battery access to open. It's like the bloody thing has seized up and won't open? Tried the coin...nope.  Tried a screw driver...nope! Even tried WD-40 - nope! Or does this mean it's now in the boat anchor pile!

    They are designed for coins... is this your first time changing the battery? Make sure you are twisting in the right direction and make sure you are pushing down on it and applying pressure at the same time you turn.

    I have wireless keyboard and a new magic mouse. I want to enter data into a Christmas list app on my 3GS iPhone. Too time consuming to just type on iPhone keyboard. How can I get keyboard and mouse to be 'connected' or recognized by my iPhone? I have Bluetooth "on" in my iPhone.

    You cannot connect the mouse.  This is not a feature of iphone

  • Help! Can't get IDE 3 - SATA to work.....

    Hi all,
    after going to some of the threads regarding SATA/PATA IDE controller and setup, I am even more confused.
    I built my first system back in January and had some issues with my video card (ATI AIW 9800 Pro), which are now finally resolved (after 2 RMA’s).
    Last night I upgraded the BIOS successfully to v 1.4.
    Here is my problem: I hooked up a mobile 250 Gig WD HD to IDE 3 (strictly for data back-up)– which is not recognized. When I first installed XP and hit F6 nothing happened – I had the “VIA SATA RAID driver” diskette in the A: drive – but the installation process just went on….
    Now I finally (with help from ATI customer support) got my video card installation issues resolved and I don’t want to do a re-install of XP.
    Is there any way to install the necessary drivers without re-installing the OS?
    (if yes – can I use my diskette/disc – or go to MSI’s website for a “live update”?)
    What would be the correct BIOS setting?
    Remember – I do not need Raid – just IDE 3 hook-up for a removable HD.
    Thank you for your help,
    hansmann

    What am I doing wrong???
    I am getting the message “No drive attached to FasTrack controller” in BIOS – which indicates to me that the drive is not seen or not connected. So I checked the settings – no jumpers, replaced the conductor cable and made sure the power connector was attached.
    Same message…
    This is on my IDE 3 single, removable 250 GB WD HD – trying to set up as Promise
    RAID for data back up.
    Under “Disk Mgmt” only the 2 HD’s on IDE 1 show up – the same under “Disk drives”.
    Under SCSI and Raid controller both, the VIA serial ATA Raid and the Win XP Promise
    FasTrack 376/378 ™ controllers are showing.
    When I am hitting control F in BIOS – nothing happens (at the Promise utility screen).
    Also, I have XP pro installed – so all of this is on an existing OS, not a new install.
    What do I miss??? This is driving me crazy.
    As usual – your help is appreciated.

  • Can't get HP309a wireless scanner to work

    I recently upgraded to Lion, and now I find my HP309a series wireless all-in-one won't scan, either by using the buttons on the scanner itself, or by using Preview or Print/Scan on my Mac. The best I can get is "no document loaded" although of course there is.
    The print function works just fine.
    I've tried uninstalling all HP software and reloading new software from HP. Same results. I've tried all the solutions suggested on the HP site and none of them work. Of course, I've deleted and added the printer several times but that does nothing either.
    Any suggestions?

    You must go into Applications>PSE  10>optional plug-ins>ImportModules, and move the TWAIN plugin into Plug-ins>Import Modules before you can scan with any scanner. However, if you must have rosetta to scan, you will not be able to scan into PSE 8,9, or 10, no matter whether Rosetta is installed on your mac or not. There is no longer any support for Rosetta in PSE since PSE 8 came out. In that case, you can either use Scan Gear or get a newer scanner, if there's no intel-native plugin on canon's download page for your model.
    Thank you for answering me so quickly, Barbara B.
    It is interesting to note that there is no longer any support for Rosetta in PSE since PSE 8.  That really explains the problem.  The optics of my scanner are really good and the scanner really does work well in the "right' software.  
    I did as you instructed: moved the TWAIN plugin from Optional plug-in>ImportModules to Plug-ins>ImportModules, and restarted the computer.  Then I rebooted PSE 10.  The TWAIN import did not load... does not even show up in as there but unloaded. 
    Any ideas?  Could this be because I am using a trial version?

  • Please Help, How can I get 24Frame .mov's to work with broadcast footage?

    Hello,
    I am desperate for some help. I have 24 Frame image sequences and 29.97 B-Roll footage that I need to work with. I am forced to work in the B-Roll frame rate because it is a mixture of scenes and all the interlace is different shot to shot.
    So my question is how can I take this 24 Frame CG and get it to 29.97? I can’t conform it in Cinema Tools because it speeds up the timing. I can’t add pull down in After Effects because it looks really bad. Is there any other way that I can add pull down to this footage and have it still look good?
    I am in desperate need for some help so even some conversation might get the ball rolling.
    Thanks in advance

    I'm really surprised that you say it is looking bad out of After Effects since that is a good way to add the pulldown. What is it that is looking bad? Is the comp set up correctly? Is the CG stuff a true 24? You might want to conform it to 23.98 in Cinema Tools, then try adding the pulldown in AE. I don't think it should matter except that you aren't truly pulling down to 30fps so you'll have to change the rate at some point.
    The only other way I know to add the pulldown, is to use FinalCut at a 23.98 sequence, play it out to tape to add the pulldown, then capture it back in.

  • Help! Can't get DNG Recover Edges to work with RAW files from Olympus E-M5.

    I've imported the RAWs into LR 4.4 (on a Mac), converted to DNG and run the plug in as directed.
    Then I go into the develop module and select crop, then click "Reset."
    Nothing happens!
    What am I doing wrong?
    I can see the missing image data in the import module, but can't recover it.

    Thanks for your link but i don't think it has something to do with relinking libraries since i never had to to that on my first machine. I'm currently pursuing a different approach: I'm comparing the files used by ccpd and cups on both machines with each other. These are the results:
    On the machine with working capt service:

    On the machine with defect capt service:

    http://pastebin.com/vh94E3Jv
    One thing that i noticed is the two libraries resolv and nss which are used on the defect machine. Could it be that?

  • HT5628 I've downloaded bootcamp 5 to run windows 7 but I can't get a wireless internet connection. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I've downloade bootcamp 5 to run windows 7 but i can't get the wireless internet to work. It does not seem to recognise it. Without the use of the internet the software that i want to install i.e sage instant accounts will be useless. Can anyone help please? i also have a problem of ejecting the cd disc. i press the normal eject button and nothing happens. The only way i could eject the windows 7 disc was to toggle to the mac side of the computer and it would eject from there. Does anyone know how to do this from the windows side?

    You have not installed the Boot Camp drivers.
    Start up in OS X and download the Windows support software from this site > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1638 Follow the steps of the link except the ones to install Windows.
    Then, start up in Windows and install the Windows support software

    For some reason, your Mac doesn't recognise that a keyboard is present, so it looks for a wireless keyboard. The question is, why doesn't your Mac recognise that a keyboard is attached?
    First, you need to make sure you remove all peripherals, especially USB peripherals (the keyboard is on the USB bus). Then restart holding down the Shift key. This should boot in Safe mode. If the computer boots normally (not in safe mode) and the keyboard is still not working, try resetting the SMC
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964>
    If that still doesn't fix the problem, then the keyboard (or its controller) is probably damaged and needs to be replaced.

  • How can I get the Voiceover Keyboard shortcuts to show up in a form in which I can copy

    I have low vision & have been trying to learn to use Voiceover on both my iPhone & my Mac mini for months. Very frustrating.
    1. How can I get the Voiceover keyboard shortcut commans to show up in a form in which I can copy & paste them into a pages document so I can print it out & use for quick reference?? The one that shows up when I press VO +HH won't let me copy & paste it, & it won't show up in the Help section no matter what subject I enter. The help topics shown do not correlate with the topics I'm entering. why is that??
    2. Please make the cursor able to be wider, like in the software program Zoomtext, that I used when I had a PC. The razor-thin cursor (in this text box!) in Pages is impossible for me to see.
    Thank you for any help you can provide.

  • I just got my cable company to switch my wireless router to a wired one considering now I have the wireless airport device (the newest one) but now I can't get a wireless signal. The router works when directlyplugged in,the aiport wireless device is green

    I just got my cable company to switch my wireless router to a wired one considering now I have the wireless airport device (the newest one) but now I can't get a wireless signal. The router works when directlyplugged in,the aiport wireless device is green. I've tried going through my new MacBook Pro settings and it the diagnostics check, it says network changes detected, I tell it that it "yes" does connect to a cable modem, it tells me to restart it, after I do it asks if there are any other devices hooked up ( firewall) and when I say no it tells me that it can't fix the problem.
    Now I know that I probably have a new IP address because of the cable company switching the boxes but it was working fine with the other box, now there isn't a signal to be had on it!
    Please anybody out there that can help!!!??

    Any time you change networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle with the new equipment. Check out the following AirPort User Tip. Please post back your results.

  • Can't get Line6 KB37 Keyboard to Trigger ezDrummer Samples

    I have KB37 and use Logic 9.1.5 Express (Mac Snow Leopard) and ezDrummer.
    How can I trigger the drum samples from ezDrummer through my KB37?
    I can use the default midi drums in Logic just fine through my keyboard, and I can see KB37 when I open a  new track "External Midi" -- but I can't get the KB37 keyboard to play any individual ezDrummer drums.
    I want to use these ezDrummer drums (cymbal crashes, etc) so they match the ezDrummer tracks I'm laying down in Logic.
    Any idea how to do this?
    I can see the midi notes being triggers when I press the keys -- which indicates to me that Logic is receiving a midi signal -- but I can't get any sound to come out(?)
    Thanks for any help!

    Well, how have to determined no signal is being recieved to your mac?
    Have you got something that shows the actual signal? Or have you just been trying to control a VST? What software are you using by the way?
    I personnally went with a AKAI MPK25, because it's made already mapped for logic & ableton etc, so it just makes things incredibly easy.
    I would suggest you return it if you can as a dead unit & perhaps look at something else a bit easier?
    Otherwise, if you just want to get this working we can have a look a bit deeper.
    And driver? OS X driver?
