My magic mouse dropped connection and now won't pair with the mac. When I search for it, it finds the mouse but just won't connect. Any ideas?
(I've tried new batteries)

Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.

My bluetooth keyboard was randomly typing letters by itself and now won't pair with anything.

My bluetooth keyboard was acting normally for ages, connected to my Macbook laptop. Then, out of the blue, it started typing random letters constantly and became unsable. I unpaired the keyboard with my laptop, but now it doesn't seem to pair with anything. I can get it into discoverable mode, but after I type in the passkey and enter, nothing happens and I get the message "the pairing attempt was unsuccessful" . I've tried to connect it to iPads, my phone, other laptops, but it doesn't work. Any idea what I should do? Thanks for the help.

Update: I tried to link the keyboard to my old G3 which it used to work with no problems an it took ages to link up and then on restart wouldn't link up. I'm thinking it might be a faulty old keyboard that died of a broken heart when the bluetooth dongle passed away. Poor thing

Magic Mouse drops connection with two blinks; unable to reconnect

My magic mouse drops connection frequently. It may drop connection at any time with no reason and goes off into two blinks. Then it's unable to be reconnected. I've tried many things, including turning the mouse off and on, turning Bluetooth off and on, unpairing the mouse and try to repair (unable to discover at this moment), but nothing works. After waiting for a long time it may get connected suddenly.
I believe it is the computer's issue rather than the mouse. I have two Macs (MacBook Pro and iMac) and two Magic Mice, but the issue only happen to my MacBook Pro with either of the two mice.
Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you!

I really cannot see why those problems relate to only one of your machines though you don't say if you have reset the SMC on the MacBook Pro. See ...

Nor do you say if you have given the batteries a thorough check. While this should not affect only one machine, Try removing them, clean the inside of the compartment and the battery terminals themselves. If it is reasonably possible, replace the old batteries with new ones.

I just downloaded the new Mac OS X v10.7 Lion, and now when I go on the Mac Store

I just downloaded the new Mac OS X v10.7 Lion, and now when I go on the Mac Store to download a game (N.O.V.A 2) it goes straight to the Launch Pad, as it's supposed to, but the game it's self wont download, it just keeps saying "waiting" I never had this problem before, any ideas?

I'm connected through my Sky Wifi, it's extremely quick, and I don't have any problems with it. Yes it asked me for my Account Email, and password as normal, then it did that little annimation where it flys into the Launch Pad, then it's saying "waiting" where it should be saying downloading.

I just bought a new 2013 Honda civic and my iPhone 4S won't pair with the cars Bluetooth device but it did on other people's iPhones; I have no other Bluetooth devices on my phone. Any suggestions?

I have to ask,
Are you making sure you are in park before attempting the sync? The car won't allow you to do it in motion, whether or not you're the passenger.

I just downloaded the newest IOS software and now my iPhone5 won't pair with the Bluetooth in my car (the car system says it's paired when I try to re-pair it but then when n try to make a call it tells me it doesn't recognize the phone.

I just downloaded the IOS upgrade, 7.0.2, and now my iPhone 5 won't pair with my Bluetooth in my car, despite repeated attempts to re-pair the two and despite the fact it's been paired fine previously. The car system tells me it's paired but then when I try to make a call I get another message that says there is no paired phone.

You can't override it no matter what you do. The device has to connect to the server to complete the iOS update. You could try rebooting the iPad and see if that lets you connect to the server after it starts up.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that will not work, you can try connecting to iTunes on your computer and see if the activation will complete. Sometimes when thes activation issues arise, you end up having to restore the device again, but first things first. Reboot and see what happens.

New iMac wireless keyboard and magic mouse dropping connections

Hi looks like I am just another one who's got problems with Apple's wireless keyboard (KB) and magic mouse (MM).
I bought my iMac 21.5 at the beginning of last Dec. For the first few days, I noticed that the connection between MM and iMac dropped perhaps once a day when I was editing some HD footage in iMove 09. I am rather new to Mac so initially I thought iMove was dominating CPU power hence the temporary drop.
But in the next few days, I found my MM dropped connection a bit more frequently like 3-4 times a day, during word processing, browsing in Safari or even when I am doing nothing. Plus I also noticed that the KB began to have the same problem as well. Well, in all cases the communications resumed almost instantly or shortly after I clicked MM or a button on the KB. It's only the on-screen notices are very annoying....
The situation got worse in the final week of 2010, the connection (both MM and KB) dropped more frequently and sometimes communication didn't resume instantly, instead the Bluetooth Setup Assistant pops up searching for available devices....and then finally connected. Annoyed by this I took the MM to the retailer and swapped for a brand new one (from a boxed iMac), came home and hey! problem solved! but just for a MERE few hours.
On the last day of 2010, after a couple "rounds" of drop-and-reconnect I was hit by the "Bluetooth Not Available" problem after a connection failure. Left it for some moments and no sign of recovery at all! Luckily and ironically I plug in my wired USB Microsoft mouse so that I can still navigate, went to System Preference and found the Bluetooth icon disappeared as if no Bluetooth hardware was ever installed at all! OK, turned off the iMac from the menu, waited and restarted. No joy and scary enough, I can't even get into the system coz I got log-in enabled but without a working KB to enter my password. Without a choice I dug out my netbook PC, arrived in this forum and found I wasn't the only one. Followed instructions here, did a SMC reset, PRAM reset, etc then magically everything is back! Once back in, I deleted the plist, deleted devices, restarted, re-favourite MM and KB, etc. The next day, I use the installation disc to perform a hardware check, but no problem found!
But always a but, the problem still persists, so a call to Apple technical support who suggested literally the same thing I've done above and asked me to monitor the problem in case it needs repair. Honestly, I am not keen to do that as the nearest Apple centre is far from me and always busy. Not sure if anyone here can shed some lights on my problem. I needa ensure all channels are exhausted before I bring the thing back to Apple for an inspection as a last resort...
Many thanks guys

Hi, I post this because this is very similar to what is happening with my new 27in Imac.
Townsville March 05 2011 bought all singing and all dancing 27inch IMac with wireless KB and MM at new reseller grand opening. Straight forward out of the box. First night a kernal panic message and screen shut down and unable to start. Phonecall to apple care got it restarted with the apleoption+pr keys. Fine for a while, then repeated screen freezes watching eye TV.
Persevered, with similar repeated screen freezes. Reset memory for eye TV. Seemed to fix that problem, but during this time also noticed MM and KB were disappearing and not responding, only to come back by frustratingly turning them on and off, waving them near the imac and even turning the imac off and on manually, to have them come back for a while and even dragging out a cable mouse to navigate. Cut a long story short, I hoped it would sort itself. 20 days later while watching eye tv I noticed the mm and kb drop off. Cable mouse found the BT issue you guys have discussed. System Preferences showed no BT at all. Rang apple care. Went through the same drill and identified a hardware problem with BT which should be replaced, and after discussion about the other issues, suggested a replacement would be within range but to talk to the store, cause it was so new, took it back to store where my story was confirmed in a confirmation of the customers story check.....for a while.....
then all reappeared as if nothing was wrong, fortunately it was witnessed by the store, so off it went to Brisbane for the 4 day turnaround. Wednesday the tech rang BT MM and KB all working fine. Further explained all the above, so he has stress tested it and I am informed it is has displayed none of the bad behaviour and is working well and on its way home, hopefully by monday. So will keep you posted. No new mac offered, no replacement BT module offered.
PS I have only ever owned macs, still love them, and scripting this on my mac book, which incidentally, has never missed a beat.

I left my Magic Mouse on overnight and now the scrolling and swiping does not work. Help Me!

Hey guys,
About a month agop I got a Magic Mouse as a Birthday present and have been using it semi regularly on my Macbook. However, last night I accidentally left the mouse on while the computer was off overnight. Initially the mouse was completely not working, so I managed to reboot it by deleting certain things in the extensions folder (AppleBluetoothMutlitouch.kext and AppleMultitouchDriver.Kext) and while the mouse works fine now, the scrolling and swiping functions no longer work. I've tried downloading the update on the mac site, but everytime the message "a newer version of this software already exists" pops up!
I'm completely stumped (and I do not have USB Overdrive on my Mac)

It's obvious that you need a screen repair.
This tells you prices: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
If you bring your ipod into an apple store, they can also ship it out for repairs. Also you should back up your ipod onto your computer before you bring it anywhere, so your memory doesnt get wiped out. If you have itunes IOS 6.1.3, plug the device into the computer, bring up itunes, in the top right hand corner click the button that says ipod, then click summary. Near the center of the page should be a button that says back up now. Click that and it will save all of your ipod's ino to your computer so you can re-download it when its fixed. Hopes this helps!

Magic Mouse losing connection and battery drains

I found a "fix" for both issues by removing the battery cover and leaving it off.....batteries stay put without issue, too.
I no longer have battery drain (it has been a few months using same alkaline batteries) and I do not lose my connection with my Mac Mini anymore.
Once in a while, when I first turn on my computer and mouse I have to tap on the batteries to get initial connection but that happens only a couple times a month. Compared to my previous frustration with connection issues and constant changing batteries....this simple "fix" has been wonderful.

Nothing fancy....I am using Duracel. The only times I have had to fiddle/tap a bit with batteries has been when I have moved mouse to new location.....(picked mouse up and plopped it down)...normally, I don't to do a thing with them. Certainly agree, the batteries are more exposed to dirt but my mouse is on a mousepad and in a clean dry area on my desk so not a problem to date.
It would be interesting if you or others try this and it works for everyone? If so, then the battery cover must have a design flaw. I am not going to try and figure it out as I a happy camper with my adjustment. Sure beats all the battery replacing and interruptions to connection I had previously. Good luck with your mouse!

Ellipsis Jetpack won't connect and now won't even turn on

I have been having a problem with my Toshiba running Vista , connecting to my Ellipsis jetpack. I called customer service and while the rep was very courteous and helpful, she stated the problem was a security issue with my laptop. I took several measures to disable the security features but to no avail. Finally, I took the laptop and jetpack in to Verizon yesterday to get some answers. Two different service reps attempted to solve my problem. The second rep finally told me that this is a known problem with Vista/Ellipsis compatibility. He kindly offered the solution of upgrading to a newer version of Windows. After returningbhome and doing some research, i find that my Toshiba doesn't meet the requirements to upgrade. Does this mean I have to buy a new computer to connect to my jetpack???? On top of that, the jetpack shut down this morning while I was actually connected and working online, and now it won't turn back on, even after a hard reset. Frustrated and dissatisfied. Can anyone help???

I too have an Ellipsis jetpack. Unfortunately the Verizon CSR(s) you spoke to gave out a lot of misinformation.
Since you've been able to connect to the Ellipsis in the past it should not be an encryption issue (security). However you could log into the Ellipsis and change the security from WPA2 to WPA to see if that resolves your problem. Do you have the ability to connect a different wireless device to see if it can connect and remain connected?
There are no "compatibility issues" with systems running Vista and connecting to the Ellipsis.
If your laptop runs Vista then it will handle Windows 7 or 8. Most drivers should be installed automatically, but you may have to find some on your own.
Regarding the power issue:
Pull the power cord & battery out of the Ellipsis for 10 min, then reconnect and hold the power switch to power it on.
I would also recommend that you see if there is a driver update for your wireless adapter. Don't just rely on Windows Update or Toshiba's website either. Get the model # of the adapter and go to the mfg's site for the latest driver - especially if it's Realtek, Intel, or Atheros since they are often updated.

Canvio 3.0 won't connect and now won't power up

My Canvio 3.0 (1T) was working fine.
First used it with a Inspiron 1501 with Win 7 32 bit, then with a new HP dv7 with Win 7 64 bit.
A week ago, I plugged it in, the laptop didn't see it connected. I unplugged cord, plugged it in again on both sides, power came on and then went out. It didn't come back.
I thought cable was messed up and bought a new one.
Same behavior. Power came on but HP never saw it connected.
I tried disconnecting and plugging in again, and now no power.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I am using USB 3.0 ports. On more research, the majority of people are having the same problem after a few months using these drives. The connection at the back gets loose and won't connect anymore. I've tried wiggling it, but it only connects for a second at best.
Anyone found a way to get it to connect? I've even gotten a new cable; it's the drive, not the cable.
I can't believe this. Toshiba used to be better than this.

How to connect and use Stor.E TV with Apple Mac

Hi,
I just bought the Stor.E tv but I use Apple mac.
Is there a program that I can download or just some way I can connect my Stor.E to my computer?
Right now it's locked.
Thank you :)

Hi
Im not quite sure if you could use this since there is no special software for MAC OS leopard.
But the TOSHIBA StorE TV supports an common USB port and can be connected to the mac/notebook using the common USB plug an play cable
Maybe the MAC will recognize this external USB device automatically and you will not need to install any software or drivers

How can i Use my apple 4 phone again - I was instructed to restore my phone with itunes and now it's stuck with the itunes logo and black screen Itunes has said unable to restore and now left unable to use my phone and not sure if I have any data on it?

I was instructed by I Tunes to restore my Iphone 4 - ITunes has since said it is unable to restore. I am now left with a black screen with Itunes logo on it and a picture of the charger attachment at the base of the screen and I am unable to do anything now with the device. I think I may have lost all of my information on the device too ~ can anyone help please?

You have lost all your data, but hopefully you were backing it up with iCloud or iTunes. You can try this:
Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
