How do I fix bluetooth connection between mouse and keyboard with iMac. iPhone won't connect to bluetooth either

Bluetooth on Mac os x won't work with keyboard, mouse or iphone. Keyboard and mouse both have new batteries and go discoverable when switched on, i have gone into system setup and tried connecting. It connects briefly with mouse then drops in and out of connection, keyboard does same, asking for passcode then no connection. I'm lost... my phone can pick up keyboard, so i think it is bluetooth in mac.

Go to ~/LIbrary/Preferences
Move the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
Try re "pairing" the keyboard.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
For Lion: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

How can I fix a problem between Firefox and my printer? When I try to print a window appears Save as ,then another saying Firefox not responding and printing does not work

I used to be able to print correctly using Firefox as my browser,but something changed in the last month or so,possibly after a Firefox update. I`m not really sure how it happened but there seems to be a problem between Firefox and my printer. So I have been using Internet Explorer as my default so I can print. I would prefer to use Firefox again since that is where my bookmarks are. Is there a way to get the connection between Firefox and my printer back?

'''Save as''' = sounds like you don't have your printer selected, or you have ''Print to file'' selected

Apple Wireless mouse and keyboard with Windows on iMac Intel

Hi there!
Is it possible to use the Apple Wireless mouse and keyboard on the iMac Intel running Windows XP?
My bluetooth setup assistant can't find any of them.
Thanks!

Actually if You Use the wireless mouse during the setup for windows it works fine the only drawback it that using the wireless mouse on windows is that it drains the battery more quickly than Mac OS X does. So make sure you have extra batteries around

IMac not recognizing bluetooth nor USB mouse and keyboard

The iMac I use has suffered a pretty annoying problem. I typically use a wireless keyboard and magic mouse with the iMac (I could be wrong, but I believe these both use Bluetooth technology). First, the iMac stopped recognizing these. They kept losing connection last Friday and then suddenly stopped recognizing them at all. Yes, they both have full batteries and blink to show me they are on and searching for the iMac.
Second, I tried using a USB mouse and a USB keyboard to get into the iMac and fix the problem. But neither are recognized by the iMac as well. The mouse is a Dell model that has a red light on the bottom, and it glows red for less than a second when I plug it into the USB port before going dark again and not working. So, I can't get into the iMac to fix the problem.
I've read a few other things on the community boards. I restarted the iMac. I unplugged it completely for several minutes and held down the power button for fifteen seconds while the power was unplugged. I've tried multiple mice and keyboards, all to no effect.
Is the iMac not recognizing the USB keyboard/mouse because it's still searching for the bluetooth versions that it will no longer recognize? Is there a way to fix this without setting up an appointment with the geniuses?
Thanks!

I'm having the same problem. It started happening on my Late 2012 model iMac 21.5" after applying the latest update.
What I found was that nothing seemed to work connected directly to the iMac. However, if you attach an externally powered USB hub, then all devices attached to the hub will work. It seems as if the USB ports are still working, but without power.
After I was able to get my USB keyboard to work, I was able to zap the PRAM (hold command-option-P-R while powering on) and then magically everything was back to working again. Unfortunately, this was short lived as the problem has resufaced again for me today, but you could give it a try anyway.

Anyone having Bluetooth issues with mouse and keyboard with mountain lion?

Installed mountain lion yesterday and since the restart my bluetooth on my computer is not working properly and it says "bluetooth not available" Any ideas or suggestions on a fix. I have already tried re installing mountian lion with no luck.

Did you try these steps? They worked for me and a couple other people:
1 - Turn on automatic login: System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General > Click the lock to make changes > If Disable automatic login is checked, uncheck it > Pick your user account and password > Ok.
2 - Shut down your computer.
3 - Turn off your keyboard and mouse: For keyboard and wireless trackpad you hold the power button until the light goes off.
4 - Start your computer.
5 - Once your desktop has fully loaded turn the keyboard and mouse back on, everything should work.

How do I fix yellow spots on face and background with Premiere Pro/After Effects CS4?

Hi,
I have the CS4 version of pretty much all Adobe products. I have to color correct and edit a video that was shot during a seminar inside a conference room with an average digital camera. The camera zoomed in a lot on the subject when he was talking. So, it's not the best quality video and I'm trying to make it look as nice as possible. I've done some general color correcting and it looks okay, but there are a number of yellow spots on the subject and in the background, mainly on brownish surfaces (the speaker is African American). This probably appeared because of the low picture quality and zoom, but how can I fix it? When I do the general color correction, the spots just change color, but don't disappear. I played around with different things, but couldn't fix it. Is there a way to do this with Premiere Pro or After Effects? Or would it be very complicated? Or not possible at all? The camera zooms in and out a few times, too, so would that pose a problem for correcting this?
Thanks for any info!

It can be done in After Effects.

Can I use my apple wireless mouse and keyboard with my Mac Mini and Windows PC?

Hello, I recently dug up a windows PC computer for side projects, and I was able to get by using my wireless apple keyboard and mouse for my Mac mini, and then using a usb mouse for my PC, I want to eliminate the usb keyboard and mouse and just use the bluetooth keyboard. Both computers are usually on all the time, and the windows PC uses a bluetooth adapter. I can get my keyboard and mouse to work on both, but I have to sync them to whatever system I would like everytime I want to use it. Is there any solution that when I choose the Mac Mini my keyboard and mouse will work for the Mac mini, and when I choose my windows pc, the keyboard will only be used on windows without having to resync?

To my knowledge, no.

Connection between fmsedge and apache with http tunneling

I configured my FMS for listening on port 80 and redirect non-FMS requests to apache on port 8080 in the same server machine.
It works well, but I've noticed several tcp connections from fmsedge to apache in Established status (it is simple to see through "netstat -nap | grep 8080" command) that stay forever (until FMS stop or restart).
With a sniffer capture I seen that sometime the fmsedge requests to apache a tcp connection but it (fmsedge) doesn't use this connection. Then the apache server send a syn,ack tcp request and always fmsedge send a dup ack tcp response. So, the connection is active but not used, then apache doesn't close it.
The kind of requests for apache are http get to js or php files.
I don't understand why fmsedge create these connections.
Am I misteking some configuration? Or may be it is a bug of fmsedge? Anybody have the same problem? Anybody can help me?

This is causing an issue for us: after a litle time, the server is blocked because too many connection are established. Any other new request to the service is not accepted and it is necessary to restart the server to resolve, but this action of course close all the active connection...

How can I sync both Outlook (through Exchange) and iCal with my iPhone???

I recently added my Outlook account via MS Exchange to my iPhone to access my email and outlook calendar. At this time I could still sync iCal as well, and I could chose to view either one, or both calendars at the same time, on my iphone. Then for some reason, about a week later I could only see my outlook calendar on my iPhone.
Now when I try and sync my iCal again, it doesn't even come up as an option in iTunes. I can turn stop pushing the data for Outlook on my phone and sync with iCal again, but then I loose all of my Outlook appointments. It seems now that I can only have one or the other!

If you are accessing an Exchange account via ActiveSync or a MobileMe account with over the air syncing enabled for contact info and calendar events, you can't sync contact info and calendar events direct with a supported application on a computer via the iTunes sync process. You can do one or the other, not both at the same time.
You can sync your business Exchange contact info and calendar events over the air and personal contact info and calendar events over the air with a MobileMe account at the same time. You can view contact info and calendar events combined with both, or view contact info and calendar events with each separately.

Not responsive wireless mouse and keyboard, No internet/wifi and Bluetooth connection.

Hi,
I need help as both my wireless mouse and wireless keyboard are totally no responsive and I replaced them with fresh new batteries. My wifi/internet connection is offline too. My Bluetooth signal is the Bluetooth with jagged lines "Bluetooth offline". I tried to disconnect all my USB devices and restarted. I tried the methods listed here but to no avail.
Yesterday afternoon there was a lightning in the skies and it caused blackout throughout my whole house. So it might be due to the power surge from the Lightning but all my other devices like my iPhone and modem router are working fine. I restarted the router too. It was fine the whole evening till nighttime yesterday. This morning I woke up, I can't do anything at all.

First thing to try is resetting the PRAM per the instructions below. If that does not work then please use the instructions on how to connect a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard below.

Connection between Portal and MDM

Hi all
Can anybody help me on how to establish the connection between portal and MDM with step by step procedure.
i am new to this combination .
before i worked with portal but not worked with MDM .
Regards
Suresh babu

Hello Suresh,
As of my knowledge MDM IViews have the advantage to ful fil your neeed to provide connectivity moreover,that they are not complex in structure and are therefore not restricted by any underlying schema structure. As opposed to regular iViews in other systems which are embedded into the pages on which they appear, MDM iViews are more generic and granular in nature enabling their placement on a page to be more adaptable.
The SAP Enterprise Portal (SAP EP) offers templates for creating the iViews. The following are some examples of these templates available at the link:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm550/helpdata/en/45/c9f8cac2124ebee10000000a11466f/content.htm]
Procedure:
       1.      Create a new page using the page wizard.
       2.      To see the iViews you created on the new page, you need to link them to the page. Right-click each of the iViews that you created and from the context menu, select Add iView to Page → Delta Link
       3.      Double-click the new page you created and select:
Page Content to view a list of the iViews that have been linked to this page
Page Layout to view the layout currently assigned to this page. The iViews can be rearranged using the drag&drop function.
       4.      The visual structure of a page can be changed with the Page Layout function. Select Define Layout to reset the layout of the page.
       5.      Select Preview to view the page showing how the iViews have been arranged. The preview simulates what an end user sees at runtime.
