HT1750 New batteries in pad and keyboard but wont connecton start up - help please.....

Can someone help me, I have an imac and it suddenly wont recognise the wireless keyboard and tracker pad. Have just replaced batteries and hard resarted the mac but wont work. I have tried another wireless mouse which works but dont have another keyboard. It is password protected so cant get in to do urgent work. Help please.

Hello,
You could try booting from the install disk #1 (holding down the "C" key while starting up with the disk in) that came with it and then running disk utility to repair the disk. Then restart.
Booting into safe mode (holding the shift key right after the startup tone) and then after it comes up in safe mode, restarting can also help this issue.
Booting into single user mode and running fsck may also help..

Hopefully it is just a simple error on your HD that is causing this problem.
(if you have already done all this before posting, i apologize for suggesting the obvious first... im new to this board and just trying to help!)
Hopefully this helps!

    I have put new batteries in my wireless keyboard but what I type is not appearing on my I Mac screen. Any suggestions as
    I can not even enter my password into the computer?

    Try turning off the keyboard for a minute then turn it back on.
    If that doesn't help, remove the keyboard from System Preferences > Bluetooth
    Then re "pair" the keyboard to your Mac.

    Having properly fitted new batteries to mouse and keyboard (wifi) and switched both devices on they do not match to either my computer or each other ( or both). I have had computer a couple of years and changed batteries before, this is the first time this has happened.  Because the mouse does not connect, I cannot operate the computer.   Any clues will be great fully received.

  • Completely new to lab view and need to get some stop watch help please

    OK I am new to lab view so please be patient with me. I have a need for a stop watch that is triggered to start when two voltage values differ by more than 0.110V and then stop counting when they return to within 0.110v my goal is to capture the total amount of time the two voltages differ and record it along with the rest of the data is this possible and how would I do it? Thanks I am running 8.5

    thanks for the quick response but thats not really enough info to help me as I am very very unfamiliar with lab view and have only been using it for a few days(mainly just plugging in copied sections) so hopefully someone can give me a little more help. But the good news is I am now looking into taking one of the Lab view courses but that probably won't help me with this problem this week. thanks again for your help
    For starters, try to write the name correctly. It is LabVIEW, not lab view.
    Seriously though, your best way of learning to is try some things yourself first. Look through the examples that ship with LabVIEW for the components Raven suggested (while loops, shift registers, etc.) We could give you a working example but you will learn far more by trying things for yourself. As suggested, try a few things and then post what you have done and what you are having trouble with. From there we can answer your questions rather than just do it for you.

    The apps and other content on the iPod did not transdfer with the purchase of the iPod. The lience to use them remains with the original purchaes. You should connect the iPod to your computer and restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and purchase and sync you own media.

  • Touch pad and keyboard not working!

    Just the other day while my computer was starting up i took a tissue and started to clean it. Then the password screen popped up. I typed in the password and started to browse the web. After about 1 minute, my touch pad and keyboard stopped working! I tried to restart the computer and it did nothing. I then restored the computer to this morning ( the update my computer did while it was turning on also the time i was cleaning it. ) and it still did nothin. Please help with this problem, right now im using a USB mouse and a on screen keyboard!
    I am using a HP pavilion g7 running windows 7 and AMD a6 vision.

     please help me
     BTW i did press somekeys while cleaning the laptop.

    Yes I installed the right drivers before trying to dual-boot with Linux. The issue was there from the beginning. But the issue appears only after 1 or 2 hours of use. It was mandatory for me to install Linux, for my studies. So I hope it doesn't break the warranty, because it would be unfair for people who need to do what I did.
    The problem is that I am right now in Finland, but I am French and I bought my netbook when I was in France. So if I send it back to HP France, it will take weeks and weeks to get it back here, and shipping cost will be really expensive, and I will be without computer during several weeks, which is impossible for me as I need it for my studies. That is why I want to go to HP Finland and ask them. I know I could call them but the last timeI called HP France, I waited for hours and didn't get any answer on the phone.

  • I have apps in my notification center on for notifications (like News apps), with banner and sounds, but i never get the notification from those apps. I tried reinstalling the app and restarting the phone but all in vain

    I have apps in my notification center on for notifications (like News apps), with banner and sounds, but i never get the notification from those apps. I tried reinstalling the app and restarting the phone but all in vain

    The apps I currently have are for the i phone and i pad but i would like to see this on this computer
    On the Mac Air launch iTunes. Then connect either the iPad or iPhone.
    Select the iPad or iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window in the source list.
    Then select Apps from the menu on the right.
    If you don't see the apps listed there, from your iTunes menu bar (top of your screen), click Store > Authorize This Computer.
    See if that makes a difference...

  • New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

    New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

    So, if you select one of these songs on the iPods screen, and try to play it, what happens?  The iPod does nothing?  It skips to the next song?
    It's possible you will have to do a Restore on the iPod, if there is data corruption on the iPod causing this problem.  The Restore erases the iPod, and removes any corruption.
    NOTE:  There may be a hardware problem, such as the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable, that is causing this problem and data issues.  It may continue to operate as long as its data stays mostly unchanged, but if you do a Restore to update the hard drive's data in a major way, it is possible that the Restore will fail and leave the iPod non-operable.

  • I'm new to I pad and want to delete an I podcast I don't want. How?

    I am new to I pad and want to delete a podcast I don't want?  How?

    If it's an audio podcast and is in the Music app, then on the podcast selection screen press and hold the podcast that you don't want for a couple of seconds and you should get an 'x' on its top left corner - tap that and it should be deleted

  • Only use 7 days, and my touch pad and keyboard is broken

    High Price and Low Quality.
    My Macbok Air 2011, I brought in Aug. 2011 on Apple Store, was broken. After checking by apple engineer, touch pad and keyboard is not working.
    From 9/17 to date, my computer is still repairing and I cannot use it.
    I think apple should compensate this and extend my warranty...........
    After this, I think apple already lose the credit for me. If I can return for this goods, I would like to return my AIR and get my money back.
    The Macbook air waste my time and let me very very unhappy now.

    i have the new version of iMovie, and when i try to start the program, i can't because it says that it is looking for some movie files from the Iphoto, so all the program is locked up... how can i do to restart the program??

    Hi
    Did You ever use - iPhoto ?
    Did You may be direct iPhoto to a different Photo Library
    As iMovie tries to find the appropriate photo library - it can get lost if iPhoto direct it into a Library on a not connected external hard disk or to a strange location - And iMovie HANGS.
    Do - When no other program is running that might interfere
    • Start iPhoto - BUT NOW KEEP alt-key (option key) DOWN during the full Start-Up process
    • Now iPhoto let's You select Photo Library
    • Select the one in Your Account / Home folder / Pictures ! !
    • Then iPhoto should start up OK
    • Now Quit iPhoto
    • START iMovie
    Does it still hangs - then I would suspect - iMovie Pref. file
    If it Run's OK - Then HURRAY !
