My wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting for no reason. Frustrating especially when you are going full on and nothing there. I press the button on the side and it connects again. Happening more frequently. Purchased in March.
Any ideas would be most appreciated.

I just have to ask, Is the battery due to be replaced by any chance?
Hope this helps

Wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting and reconnecting

My Wireless Keyboard keeps disconnecting and reconnecting and typing by it self!! any ideas?

Hi,
Yes believe it or not my problem was caused by the keyboard being too close to the iMac display, the bluetooth was infering with the other radio signals coming from the antenna, it needs to be at least 1ft away from the display (30cm) to prevent this (this won't help those of you with small computer tables/desks)
Hope this works for you....

TS4611 I have just received my second MacBook Air 11" the Wifi connection keeps dropping. Also after 3 meters away it keeps searching for network! It is the second try and the same issue. Will Apple ever come up with a solution?

I have just received my second MacBook Air 11" the Wifi connection keeps dropping. Also, after 3 meters away from the rooter it keeps searching for network! It is the second try and the same issues. Will Apple ever come up with a solution? There is a program pack for the connection issue but I cannot believe that this computer wifi keeps connected only while nearby the rooter!

Applied this update?

If the update is installed aready, you may have to wait until OS X 10.8.5
update if and when it is relased.
Best.

My iPad shut off for some reason. The battery was charged. I couldn't get it to turn back on until I pressed the on button and home at the same time.Why did that happen?

I had trouble upgrading my iPad2 toiOS 5.1.I have had it for about 1 year. I had never upgraded it. I tried a few times but I kept getting a message that I would loose everything on my iPad if I did. I bit the bullet andfigured that I would restore it from the back up on my laptop. Some of the backup files were corrupted. I was unable to retore my exchange email or my notes from the noted app.
Today, my iPad shut off for no reason and I couldn't get it to turn on again, even though the battery was 70% charged. I had to press the on button and home button to get it to come back on.

I'm not sure what problem you are experiancing but it would be well worth contacting apple.
If you have had it for less than one year it should be covered under warrenty

Magic Mouse and MS Word 2011 (under OS 10.7, iMac middle 2011): Marking of word in a document stops after a few seconds while still pressing the left button and keep on moving the mouse (batteries full)

Software: OS X Lion (10.7.4); Microsoft Word für Mac 2011, Version 14.2.2 (120421)
Hardware: iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 12 GB, magic mouse
To mark several clauses in a doc-document (in MS Word 2011), I press the left mouse button and move the mouse along the words
My problem:
While still pressing the left button and moving the mouse, the marking on the screen stops and I can't change the already existing markings any more (to become less or especially more).
Who knows:
- why this happens and how I can abondon this behaviour?
- is it a settings problem in MS Word 2011 or of OS X Lion?
By the way:
- I don't watch this behaviour in MS Excel 2011. There everything works fine.
- The batteries are fully loaded and I'm about 30 to 40 cm (1") away from the iMac (RSSI: -60 dB)
Thanks for answers.

So just like last time I tried to update my iPhone software...MY PHONE IS FROZEN. Displaying iTunes icon and a USB cable I pressed the Power button and the menu botton together until the apple icon appeared held them down for 10 secs & NOTHING Now what? Do I just wait for the battery to run out?

Hi Careesa,
Your iPhone is in recovery mode-- you need to connect it to your computer and, most likely, iTunes will ask you to restore it. If you recently backed up this shouldn't be too much of a problem.

HT1430 My iphone 5 wont turn back on , I've tried pressing the menu button and the switch button and hold it down for about 30 seconds but nothing , is there anything i can do ?

my iphone 5 since friday , its been off and it wont turn back on , ive tried pressing the menu button and the switch on button for about 30 seconds every day to see if anything happens , but nothing helps.
PLEASE HELP

I would 1st try to charge the phone at a different location than usual and if possible try different charging cords etc. and make sure that it is charging. If it appears to be charging let it sit for an hour or so and then try to power on again while the phone is still charging.

Because of low battery my iphone 5 got switched off and than its not starting by pressing the power button and in charge the white screen comes for 2 second and goes

Because of low battery my iphone 5 got switched off and than its not starting by pressing the power button or by keeping it on charge. While charging a white screen comes for 2 second and goes away. This process continues till the phone is on charge. Please suggest how can I start my phone.

Hello Ritugor,
I would be concerned too if my iPhone was not powering on. I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this. I recommend following the steps below:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

Bluetooth wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting

Hello,
My wireless keyboard {small aluminum, no numeric pad} keeps disconnecting after i changed the batteries yesterday - the keyboard is found and paired to my iMac, however whenever i press the Command key, it disconnects if i press the space bar it outputs a space followed by the letter 'n' {like so " n"} also i cannot use the delete key, very strange!
I have tried resetting the PRAM, disconnecting the keyboard and starting over, but still getting the same problems, any ideas on how i can fix this?
KR,
Aaron

Hello:
Try a couple of things:
1. Reset the SMC (you already have reset the PRAM).
2. Trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and then restart.
3. Make the KB a favorite.
If none of that helps, try removing and then replacing the batteries.
If none of that works, I would suspect a failing KB.

Why does my wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting?

I have a wireless track pad and keyboard (no number pad) that I use at school. I have to use a usb bluetooth adapter because the Mac Pro the school has does not have native bluetooth. My trackpad works flawlessly but my keyboard has problems. Most of the time it can not connect at all and the few times that it has connected it disconnects very soon, even while i am in the middle of typing something. This is very annoying. I have changed the batteries with a fresh pair and still the problem persists. Please help me, this is very aggrivating.

HellO:
My normal suggestion would be to make the KB a favorite, but I am not sure that would work at your school.

Wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting

So my family and I have a late 2009 Mac mini with a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse the mouse won't let you scroll up (it's a Magic Mouse) and won't let you do any trackpad functions. I think this is just because the Mac is so old that this is programmed out of the software (sounds like apple). Well the keyboard is realtively new 2012 or so maybe 13 but it connects to the Mac and after a few moments it types or deletes a ton of letters that I typed I spent an hour of work on an essay and the keyboard just deleted it all then it loses connection and does the same thing when it reconnects. The keyboard has 100% battery level I've changed the batteries and that didn't help I turned off the Mac that didn't help and I've try odd just having the keyboard on and that didn't do anything so it's not the blue tooth frequency. I'm wondering if this is covered under the apple care protection plan I bought for my other Mac which is notorious for breaking even though it's a Mac with retnia. So my questions are what the **** is up with the keyboard and should the mouse not be able to scroll also if this is a hardware related issue is this covered under an apple care protection plan? Thanks

Yea i tried this on my Macbook pro and it does the same thing i tried to look up the serial number but its one of those 17 digit ones that dont fit in the line, but i do think there is something wronk with the mini i will try a hardware check on it the next time to see if anything is wrong with the hardware.

My Iphone 4s keeps locking itself, as if I pressed the "lock button"

I bought a new Iphone 4s,
Since the minute I activated it, it randomally turns itself on and off, locking the screen etc.
Sometimes it stopps for several hours, and then starts to lock again every five seconds.
If i turn it off, it turns back on by itself.
I'm pretty sure the problem is with the "lock button", it sends signals even when i dont touch it at all.
What can I do?
thanks

I was uploading songs onto matches when i had to reboot for another reason. When the computer rebooted and i opened iTunes, the Matches tab isn't there anymore. How do i solve this?

I know for sure that my uploads weren't done but i wanted to see how the iMac would react.
How do i fix this?

Sounds like iTunes Match may have gotten disabled for some reason. Pull down Store > Turn On iTunes Match and add your computer again.
