"how to" question for wireless keyboard and/or wireless Mighty Mouse

I just purchased a wireless keyboard and a wireless Mighty Mouse (yesterday)
and notice I cannot use the calculator 'widget' in my Dock
1. the number keys on the new keyboard do not activate the corresponding numbers on the widget
and
2. the mouse does not activate the widget numbers when I click on them, either
does anyone know if the calculator can work with these 2 new accessories?
(if not, is there another, similar, calculator I can use now..?)
thank you for your time

Hello d:
The calculator works just fine with my Apple BT devices. I doubt if the problem is with the devices.
Try deleting the calculator widget from the dashboard (when dashboard is open). Then add it back.

  • How far is the range for wireless mighty mouse?

    I've checked the specs, I've read the reviews. Haven't been able to find the range for mighty mouse.
    I would like wireless mouse/keyboard use about 12 feet away from my Powerbook (using a flat panel tv from the sofa). The keyboard specs say 33 feet, but not sure about the mouse... Any guidance/suggestions?

    I found a review that said it was about 30 feet

  • How can I get my wireless keyboard and my new magic mouse to enter info into a Christmas list app on iphone 3GS? Do I have to move to another room? I have bluetooth on in my iPhone.

    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
    You can learn about connecting a keyboard in the manual:

  • Wireless Keyboard + Wireless Mighty Mouse questions

    Hey everyone, Mac users please don't hate me for asking this but I have some questions about using the Apple wireless keyboard and wireless Mighty mouse on a windows XP PC (Not in boot camp).
    I have already bought the wireless keyboard, and have it working with my Windows PC using a Belkin bluetooth dongle, and was just wondering why the Control + Alt + Delete combo on the apple keyboard of (Control + option + Fn + Backspace) isn't working for me? I think it may be something to do with the keyboard being wireless, or possibly the Fn key will not work in Windows? I also would like to be able to remap some of the "F" keys on the wireless keyboard to windows functions like the volume and playback/ pause media keys. Is there any software anyone can reccomend which will allow me to do this?
    My second question is about the wireless mighty mouse. I haven't bought it yet, but I have strong intentions of doing so and using it with a Windows XP (to be updated to Win7 when it gets out of beta ~Sept) PC. I love apple hardware- peripherals especially, which is why I already bought the wireless keyboard and now wish to buy the Mighty mouse along with a 30" Apple display to use with the PC in my office at home. I have read mixed reports on many Mac forums about the compatability of the WMM with Windows, and have come here to get it cleared up before I spend close to £50 on a mouse that may or may not work. I heard somewhere that some but not all functions of the mouse would work in Windows, whereas somewhere else I read that a guy had installed a driver that was extracted from a (I think Leopard) Mac install disk and that the mouse was working 100% on his XP or Vista PC.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated guys, I built myself a special edition of one of my own design Eclipse series PC's to put in my new office at the start of this year and normal monitors/ peripherals just dont look right in that room because its very minimalist and modern and Apple make the most minimalist but functional hardware I know, which is why I want to use this KB/Mouse/Monitor combination.
    Thanks,
    Matt.

    I'm REALLY interested in how you got your Apple wireless keyboard to work on your XP PC. Was the keyboard recognized and working immediately? I've been reading thread after thread; still can't figure it out. Can you provide any help? Thanks.

  • Windows 7 and Wireless Mighty Mouse, Wireless Keyboard and sound problem

    Hi,
    I just installed Windows 7 x64 Ultimate on my iMac 24" white ( OS X Leopard 10.5 ). Surprisingly, it installed without any problems. The only problems I have now are the Wireless Mighty Mouse and the Wireless Keyboard ( alu ).
    After I installed Windows I inserted the Leopard Instal DVD and installed Boot Camp. I got a message right away saying that: "This program has known compatibility issues...". I clicked Run program and continued. Soon I got the same warning, but this time not for Boot Camp, but Intel Chipset Device Software. I clicked Run program yet again and it continued installing. Then I got a different warning: "Service KeyAgent' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." I clicked Ignore and installation continued. I got another "Service Mac HAL' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." warning, clicked Ignore again and after that it finished soon and I restarted the computer.
    When I came back into Windows there was no Apple folder anywhere or any sign that I have just installed Boot Camp ( should there be? )
    I installed Boot Camp Update 2.1 for Windows XP ( because Vista x64 version wouldn't start ) and basically I got the same warnings I did when I installed Boot Camp from the Leopard DVD ( described above ). I also tried to instal Boot Camp Update 2.2 for Windows, but it didn't start. I also downloaded Bluetooth Update 1.0, but all I got was a message saying: "This update is not intended for this computer and will not be installed.".
    There is also no sound.
    This is basically it, I really hope some of you who run Windows 7 with wireless keyboards and mice can help me, because I desperately need this to work ( I use a Windows only program for school ).
    PS. I have a 2007 iMac 24" white and while it is not on the we're-not-supporting-that list for the infamous Windows 7 Boot Camp update, all other iMacs from its generation are. Any ideas?

    Found a solution for the "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model" message. Here is the link: http://www.techulous.com/hardware/how-to-apple-boot-camp-64-bit-for-windows-7-on -unsupported-macs.html
    Everything works ( for ) now. Yay!

  • How to find out which bluetooth version is installed for wireless mighty m.

    Hi all,
    I just ordered the new Wireless Mighty Mouse. The specs. required Bluetooth V2.0. I tried to find out if my PB 17'' 1GHz (built in 2003) is supporting it, but the hardware information panel only gives the latest firmware version (1.7.5f10). I have no clue if this is V2 or not.
    Any ideas on how to get more info?

    Mark,
    three things I can say already:
    1) I set my PB into sleep mode. By klicking the mouse the PB went on immediately
    2) when I physically switch off the mouse (PB states "lost connection") and back on again, I need to klick the mouse once to have the connection back. But this needs approx. 2 seconds until it works. Without klicking the mouse I don't know if the connection is reestablished on its own, after more than 30 sec. of waiting I gave up and klicked the mouse
    3) if the PB is in sleep mode and the mouse is physically switched off, the minute I turn the mouse on again and klick its button once the PB turns back on
    So far I couldn't see the mouse going into some kind of sleep mode (I wasn't so patient up to now).
    Funny thing: the new laser seems to emit as I would guess infra-red light, at least it is not visible. So no more red shiny mouse in black night. And there is a small green led on the bottom side of the mouse a) flashing if it searches for a connection and b) indicating if the laser is on/off

  • Wireless keyboard and Wireless Mighty Mouse failure

    Hello,
    I have just bought an iMac 20" with a wireless keyboard and wireless mighty mouse.
    Both the keyboard and mouse will not work properly.
    I followed the installation/setup instructions and paired first the keyboard and then mouse. Then the problems started.
    1. Mighty Mouse tracking is dreadful and very slow (even after adjusting mouse properties)
    2. Keyboard started to drop connection and then when awoke started repeating keys (as if key stuck)
    3. Keyboard then disconnected and will not be recognised when searching for Bluetooth devices nor can I pair it again.
    4. When both were working the Airport extreme wireless network would be lost (but I think that this is a red-herring and irrelevant)
    Interesting once keyboard stopped working the wireless mouse tracking improved.
    The only software I have installed since taking the iMac out of the box are (in order)
    - Running/installing all Apple updates (including firmware 1.1)
    - Installing Firefox 2.0
    - Installing Adobe Reader 8.0
    - Installing Stuffit Reader 11.0
    - Installing Canon Bubble Jet Printer driver
    - Installing latest version of Skype
    If I use a USB mouse or keyboard they work ok.
    This is the second replace imac within 2 weeks. The first had the same problem.
    Can anybody help please as I'm new to Mac's after switching from a PC and I do not want to have to chuck either the keyboard or mouse or have the pain of Apple supplying me with a 3rd replacement iMac

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Congrats on the new Mac.
    Did you Repair Disk Permissions after the software updates and installs?
    Whether this solves this issue for you, it is something that you should always do. Go to Apps/Ut5ilities/Disk Utility and select your OS X HDD. Press Repair Permissions. Run Repair Permissions until no more repairs are reported.

  • Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Mighty Mouse performing erratically

    I got the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Mighty Mouse as soon as they were available and I haven't had any problems with them until a few days ago. Now, both devices will "disconnect" for a few moments (the screen will show the "Connection lost" icon) and immediately reconnect.
    The keyboard usually does it so quickly that it doesn't affect my typing. The Mighty Mouse, however, will sometimes slow down to a very erratic, choppy refresh rate - something like a dusty ball mouse cca. 1994. This usually lasts for about a minute and then fixes itself.
    This happens several times per hour. I've tried restarting the computer, restarting the devices (replacing the batteries), removing them as Bluetooth devices and pairing them again, turning Bluetooth on the computer on and off... nothing seems to fix this. Both devices have fresh rechargeable batteries in them, showing nearly-full charge in System Preferences.
    Is this a known or common issue? Who's to blame, the mouse and keyboard or the iMac? Has anyone found a reasonable fix?
    Thanks.

    Hi Neven:
    See my thread about IDENTICAL situation:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1235070&tstart=30
    The erratic behavior is identical, except that only my wireless keyboard is misbehaving. Unlike you, it has become a major hassle for me when I am typing and my keyboard disconnects mid-keystroke. Or, I'm reviewing a website or my work and the keyboard disconnects three/four times in two minutes. Last night, for instance, I was watching something on TV in the background and I saw in amazement as my keyboard just kept disconnecting and reconnecting every 30 seconds.
    Otherwise, it is same, same, same: fresh batteries, no other bluetooth devices, 18" distance from the iMAC.
    I noticed this began to happen AFTER I downloaded and installed last weeks' iMAC update.
    So I reiterate my comment from my own thread:

  • 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?

  • On Apple TV. Can the USB port be used for a keyboard and mouse interface

    On Apple TV. Can the USB port be used for a keyboard and mouse interface

    A bluetooth keyboard can be used with the Apple TV.
    There is no need for a mouse with an ATV.

  • HT5312 Hi, i'm forget answer for may security questions for Apple ID and can't reset it

    HI. i'm forget answer for may security questions for Apple ID and can't reset it, after verified email adress the link for reset questions is not available.

    The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address on your account - if you've just added an address then it will be an alternate/secondary email address, which is a different setting/address on your account (a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your questions).
    You will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • FCP 5.1 and Wireless Mighty Mouse

    Just an informational post:
    I have had my wireless mighty mouse since July 27th, and it works well with FCP 5.1 on my G5 Quad. I had abandoned my old wireless mouse (both the Apple and "The Mouse BT") because of jerky operation, delays, lack of precision, etc. I started using a wired mighty mouse
    The new Wireless MM works even better than my wired MM; the new laser sensor is more precise, and there is no lag. It works on my wood desk top as well as on the matt black mouse area on my keyboard tray. My G5 is 5 feet away and to the left of my work position, under a wooden desk; there are not metal obstructions between the mouse and the BT antenna.
    I really like the scroll wheel (both MM's) for horizontally scrolling the time line as I edit. Used in conjunction with a Shuttle Express, I have all the editing control I use at my fingertips.
    YMMV

  • Any difference between new and old wireless Mighty Mouse?

    Hello,
    I got an "old" wireless Mighty Mouse (the one with the grey side buttons) from my father. Now I am wondering if there is any difference between this mouse and the new one, besides the color change of the side buttons. I checked my mouse against the tech specs on the Apple Mighty Mouse site, and they seem to be absolutely identical, but still, I would like to hear this from an expert, which I hope to find here . Also, does anyone know where to find the user’s guide for the wireless mouse online? I have been searching the whole Apple site, but found it nowhere.
    Thanks in advance for your answers.

  • Wireless mighty mouse horiz. scroll for some software

    The horizontal scroll on my new wireless mighty mouse seems to work for some programs (Safari) just fine; for others (Melody maker) only on the scrollbar and for others (MS Word) not at all. Any ideas?

    Yes you need to install the software to allow your Mac to properly recognise all the features of the BT Mighty Mouse.
    I've got the exact same setup and just obtained a Wireless Mighty Mouse - all I had to do was install the software on the CD, reboot (the first reboot will take a little while), and follow the instructions on either the CD or one of the small enclosed booklets that you should have in your box.
