How do I stop keyboard and mouse sound effects?

I have tried everything for turning off sound effects on the Mac, but it is still making noises when I type or click the trackpad. How can I get these annoying noises to turn off?

Are you saying that, with the sound muted, you're still getting those sounds? Are you certain they are coming from the computer's speakers? Try plugging in a pair of headphones... do you hear the sounds through the headphones? Are the sounds playing for every single keypress and mouse click?
If you have any external mice or keyboards, disconnect them. Any nearby Bluetooth keyboards or mice should be turned off or have their batteries removed. Does this make a difference?
Try restarting the computer in safe mode. Test while in that mode. Does the problem continue?
These problems are not due to any kind of malware. There is no known malware for the Mac that behaves this way.

    I think I have opened the sobig.f virus in my hotmail account and it keeps seding emails to my contacts. How do I stop it, and will it effect any of my other transactions like internet banking/shopping, is it safe To continue using my ipad ?

    This isn't due to malware. There is no known malware capable of infecting an iPad that has not been jailbroken (ie, hacked to allow apps from outside the App Store).
    As lizdance40 says, your Hotmail account has been hacked remotely. Change the password immediately. Hotmail accounts are popular targets, but as long as you choose a good password, and make sure that password is not the same as a password you use with any other account, you should be safe.
    I disagree with lizdance40's statement that you have to abandon the account and create a new e-mail address. If a hacker is able to get back in even after changing the password, the problem is not with the account itself. There's another vulnerability of some kind somewhere. Perhaps the account allows hackers to leave a "back door" to get back in (such as with GMail's delegation feature), in which case any such feature needs to be reviewed and have settings changed. Perhaps you are checking mail in an insecure manner while on an insecure network (ie, a wireless network that requires no password). Perhaps you are using a password on multiple accounts, and a different account has been compromised. Perhaps a hacker has used knowledge gained by prior access to your account to achieve "social hacking" (ie, convincing a tech to give him access because he has "forgotten the password"). There are many scenarios, but there's no good reason to abandon the account entirely.

  • How can I remove keyboard and mouse, to use my iMac as a living picture?

    Hi
    I would like to use my old imac G5 as a simple viewer, just to read loop DVDs.
    I would like to hang my imac on the wall, without keyboard and mouse, and I get an error message "No keyboard detected, no mouse detected" and my living picture is wasted.
    Anyone could help me?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Matt for your quick reply,
    But it's not real dvd, just a dvd disc file, and it will turn all year long with the same movie !

  • How about my microsoft keyboard and mouse?

    I have a microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse that have the extra buttons, like media controls, volume controls, the F-keys that are also shortcuts like undo & redo & new& open & such and I was wondering if those will work with my MacBook Pro that I am going to buy sometime soon. Like will Microsoft come out with a driver, does Apple supply one, will it just work?
    I didn't look hard, but I couldn't find one post already about this, so I thought I might ask the question. I'm hoping that it will work, because I like my keyboard and mouse, but I'm thinking that it probably won't work as anything but a keyboard (the media control keys won't work and such)

    I have a older wireless Microsoft keyboard/mouse at work (can't remember the model) and it is connected to a KVM with a Windows machine and various Macs. The volume controls works and I use F12 for the CD eject, which is a standard Apple keyboard command. Haven't tried the other keys on the Mac side mainly because I don't have a need for them. If they do work I'll post back.

  • 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.

    I have had the same problem. It was cured by turning computer off and/or restarting it. I am not sure  if once was enough. I think shutting down must cut out whatever it is that blocks bluetooth. Good luck

  • I have two IMacs and I want to set them up so i can use one keyboard and mouse-   How do i make this happen?

    How do i make it happen so I can use two seperate iMac computers as one set-up with one keyboard and one mouse?

    If the keyboard and mouse are wired, then a USB KVM switch will work.
    If they are wireless, you should be able to connect the wirelessly via Bluetooth settings. discover the same keyboard and mouse on each iMac.
    However, you cannot use them on each iMac simultaneously. I think it would be rather difficult for you to switch between them (disconnecting and reconnecting them over and over again).
    Most iMacs come shipped with a keyboard and mouse by default. How come you only have one keyboard?
    Keyboards and mice are not that expensive either.

  • The keyboard and mouse have stopped 'talking' to the computer. New batteries in both units. Can't write, e-mail, text etc. What do I do next?

    The keyboard and mouse have stopped 'talking' to the computer - cursors do not move in response to mouse, right and left clicks do not register and typing does not happen.. Batteries have been replaced on both. The computer seems to be working normally in all other respects. The little green 'on' lights on both the mouse and keyboard light up for ~10 seconds,blink for about 20 seconds, and then go out. Computer shut down and restart did not change the situation. What's next?

    Get a wired keyboard and mouse for times like these, also to perform at boot keyboard commands in emergencies.

  • Starting problems, computer freezes, keyboard and mouse stop working

    Hi can anyone help? My powerbook has just stopped working, rarely starts, when it does keyboard and mouse stop working after a while or even before i am able to login. At one point I was getting a grey screen with the words, memory access invalid???? Please help...

    power surge could have damaged something inside, or it maybe unrelated to the problem.
    PowerBook can get hot if there is some short circuit inside and power flow is disrupted, also it's possible that the fans are not working properly.
    as a guess, it is likely either hard drive or logic board problem.

  • Buzz / Hiss sound when using apple bluetooth keyboard and mouse w/heaphones

    When I use the apple wireless (bluetooth) keyboard and mouse with my 1.42Ghz G4 Mac mini, there is a constant buzzing or hissing noise. When I turn the keyboard and mouse off, it stops. I've updated the firmware on my mac mini, but I couldn't update the firmware on my keyboard and mouse:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301282
    (thanks, apple)
    Is there a way to fix this noise? Would updating the firmware solve this? Has anyone else experienced it? It's driving me crazy!
    Thanks!

  • I have two iMac's on the same desk. Once iMac pairs with both keyboards and mice.  The other pairs with the mouse, but I cannot get the keyboard to connect.  How do I get a keyboard and mouse to connect to each iMac independently?

  • Wireless Keyboard and Mouse how to for XP Bootcamp

    The promise of running Windows XP was marred by my inability to get the wireless keyboard to function in Windows during startup. Judging by the number of posts on this issue, I am not the only one who is frustrated. While didling with this issue I developed a sure fire, if somewhat un-Apple and in-elegant, way to get them to work.
    First you need to create a driver disk using the latest version of Bootcamp (I used version 1.1.1) and install them under XP using a wired keyboard and mouse.
    Now re-install the Apple Bluetooth drivers to make sure you have the latest version:
    1. Boot into Microsoft Windows.
    2. Open the Control Panel and select Bluetooth Devices.
    3. In the Hardware Tab, click Apple Built–In Bluetooth.
    4. Click the Properties button.
    5. Click the Driver tab.
    6. Click the Update Driver button and the Hardware Update Wizard will appear.
    7. Choose "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)".
    8. Deselect "Search Removable media".
    9. Select "Include this location this search".
    10. Click Browse.
    11. Navigate to c:/Program Files/Macintosh Drivers for Win XP/BthKicker/
    12. Once the update is done, reboot.
    Next we need to add the Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard (and wireless Mighty Mouse if you have).
    1. If you are using a desktop Mac, connect a wired USB mouse and keyboard.
    2. In windows, open the Control Panel and select "Bluetooth Devices".
    3. Turn Bluetooth Discovery to "On"
    4. Make sure your Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard is on.
    5. Click the Devices Tab.
    6. Click the "Add"button.
    7. When the "Welcome to the Add Bluetooth Device Wizard" window appears, select the "My device is set up and ready to be found" checkbox, then click Next.
    8. Locate the keyboard in the list the Wizard provides, then click Next.
    9. Connect and select the "Let me choose my own passkey" option.
    10. Enter "0000", then click Next.
    When the process has completed successfully, you will see this message: "The Bluetooth device was successfully connected". You should now be able to use your keyboard.
    On your next reboot in Windows, the logon screen will come up and neither your wireless mighty mouse or wireless keyboard will work. To activate the mouse, click one of it's buttons once or twice and it will start after a couple of seconds. unfortunately keyclicks will not start the keyboard.
    To get it to activate, turn the keyboard upside down and use the switch to turn the keyboard off and back on again. Wait about 6 seconds and voila! As I said, not elegant, but definately a lot better than having 2 keyboards. It would be nice if Apple could modify the firmware to start the keyboard when a key is pressed, just like the mouse.
    Have fun!
