Help?  My BT Wireless just stopped working (BT Mouse is OK)

Normally the wireless keyboard that came with the iMac (intel) is reliable, its about 4 yrs old now
but today - it just stopped working?
Although it shows (menu) as being connected (BT) and Batteries are at 100%,  I can no longer get
keyboard output... and this applies to any running application.
Its not been dropped or mistreated - its just stopped working. I have restarted the iMac but to no avail.
I am using the older USB Keyboard as a stop gap.
My queries are;
     1. Has this keyboard just simply worn out or developed an internal fault ??
     2. Has anyone else experienced this or had similar problems ??
     3. Is there some way I can check the integrity of the BT or the Keyboards communications with the iMac ?
All help to solving this problem - will be most appreciated
Running Mac OSX 10.9.4 on Intel iMac (2CD) 8GB RAM

Hi Barry.
Thanks for your response.....
As mentioned I did restart the iMac which I believe also resets the PR (chime) during that  process.
However I will try specifically zapping the PR - several times like the old days and Mac OS 9.
and come back to you

  • WRT54G - wireless just stopped working on all devices

    Hi All,
    I've had my WRT54G for a couple of years and have my Desktop hard wired (to the router) and 2 laptops and an ipod connecting wirelessly succefully for the past 2 years.Woke up this morning and nothing will connect wirelessly,finding the router is intermitent and when it does it cannot establish a connection with it. I can connect the devices via the network cable directly to the router and all works fine, it's just wireless that has suddenly stopped working.
    I have tried 'turning it off and on again" turning WEP off, changing WEP password etc. but nothing seems to work. Im at a loss as to why my entire wireless network/connection has just stopped working?
    Any ideas?

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I'm having a similar problem. This past month or so, the router just kicks my wireless computers off the network. Then I can't find the network at all. My work around has been to go into the wireless setting (via my hard-wired computer) and change the wireless channel from 9 to 11 or vice versa. This keeps the network connected for a day or two and then kicks us off again until I change the channel.
    I've looked into the solution previously posted of upgrading the Firmware but I'm having a difficult time doing so. I'm on a Mac and the firmware downloads seem to be for PC. The other problem I'm having is that my model is WRT54GS (no version number). Should I assume this is version 1.0? I think so. Anyway, like I said, when I download the firmware for that unit, it shows up as a bin file (WRT54GSv3_4.71.4.001_fw,3.bin). I then expand it and it becomes a cpgz file (WRT54GSv3_4.71.4.001_fw,3.bin.cpgz). And back and forth, over and over again.
    How can I upgrade my firmware on my Mac?

  • Help, my iPod Nano just stopped working

    Help I've had my iPod nano 7th generation for about 6 months now.  It's always worked fine until one day after charging it, it will no longer turn on.  It does get hot when I try to charge it or reboot it (reboot using the home and on/off button together).  Can anyone please help?

    Hi AliPe!
    I have a website that I believe will help you troubleshoot this issue. The website is an iPod troubleshooting assistant, and it can be found right here:
    Apple - Support - iPod nano - iTunes Troubleshooting Assistant
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/assistant/itunes/
    Just follow the troubleshooting steps suggested by that website and you should be on the right track. Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • Help! My ipod just stopped working

    I've had my ipod mini for about a year. Today, after using it, I turned it back on and now the songs will not play. I choose a song and the ipod thinks about it for a few seconds and then it moves on to the next song. It will keep going like that to the end of the playlist never playing any songs.

    You should try to re-inport the songs into your i pod

  • Mail server has just stopped working. No errors in any log. Help!

    I am running OS X Server 3.0.2 on Mavericks 10.9.1. Today at around 14:30 my Mail server, which has been working fine for over a year and for nearly a month under Server 3.0.2 just stopped working! I have tried stopping and starting Mail in Server.app and via ServerAdmin but the servcies will not start... serveradmin claims that IMAP is running but that SMTP/SMTPD/Virus Scanner/SPAM filtering/Virus updating are not. I tried disabling the all the filtering services but to no avail. Even though it claims IMAP is running I cannot connect from any client...
    I have rebooted the machine but this did not help. I have looked at all the logs (system, mail, dovecot, postfix, amavis) and theer are no suspicious messages in any of them!
    I am out of ideas and my mail server is down which is very serious so if anyone has any ideas please pitch in.
    Thanks.

    My problems were:
    1.    Server.app shows the Mail service stuck in 'starting' status
    2.    serveradmin shows that IMAP is running but SMTPD, Spam filtering, Virus filtering and Virus updating were STOPPED.
    3.    No clients could connect to either IMAPS or SMTP.
    Diagnostics performed:
    All the various messafge logs (system.log, Mail.log, mail-info.log mail-err.log, amavis.log) show no abnormal messages.
    DNS is working just fine.
    In the end I did the following:
    1.    Stop all mail related services.
    2.    Make a safe copy of /Library/Server/Mail/Config
    3.    Restore the previous days version of /Library/Server/Mail/Config from backup.
    4.    Start the Mail service
    And all was working again just fine.
    I then did a file by file compare of all the configuration files between the workign and not working configurations and I found just the following two differences in postfix/main.cf:
    Not working:
    inet_interfaces = loopback-only
    smtpd_helo_required = no
    Working:
    inet_interfaces = all
    smtpd_helo_required = yes
    I don't think the second difference is so critical but the first seems to break everything (not too surprising I guess). All the other files were identical.
    So, the good news is that all is working again but the huge concern is why this change happenned, seemingly at random. My strong suspicion is that Server.app, at some point when I exited it havign made some minor change unrelated to mail decided to apply these incorrect changes to the Mail configuration. Why it would do this is beyond me. I think there are some subtle bugs in Server 3.0 (and maybe Server 2.2 as well)...

    Hi hope somebody can help? i have acrobat 6 pro, worked well for last two years but then just stopped working. Have reinstalled but still will not open, ronning windows 7. Help please!!  Janice

    Hey janicem42177174,
    Adobe no longer supports the installation and use of Acrobat 6 as it is a very old version which is not compatible with Windows 7.
    I would suggest you to please use the latest version of Acrobat i.e. 11.0.10 which is fully compatible with your OS with its enhanced features and functions.
    You might download a free 30-day trial version of Acrobat from here:
    Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat XI Professional
    Let me know how it goes
    Regards,

    try resetting. Hold down volume down and sleep/wake button until you see apple logo.

  • So my first iPod 4th generation charger just stopped working and I've only had it for about 2 months! Please help!!!!

    My iPod touch 4th generation charger just stopped working and I've only had it for about 2 or 3 months. Please help!!!

    Then it should still be under warranty, so make an appointment at your local apple store and have them take a look at it.
    If that's not a possibility and you want to troubleshoot, what do you mean by 'just stopped working'? What were you doing? Maybe some more info could help with troubleshooting.

    2. Hold down the Camera/Skype app for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close app
    4. Tap area above Task Bar to return to Home screen
    If the above doesn't solve the problem, do a reset:
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider
