I have a 2011 iMac 27" i7 and the bluetooth connected trackpad, keyboard, and mouse all go haywire after awhile. This just began today and cannot make the issue go away. Nothing was downloaded, no software updates, etc. please help!

Oops, sorry, using my iPad for this. My iMac's Bluetooth-connected devices are going haywire after awhile of use. All three things--the trackpad, keyboard, and mouse--act up, especially the trackpad, by being overly sensitive and often just clicking and moving on its own. I've restarted the computer, I've swabbed batteries out of the devices, and nothing has worked so far in solving this issue. I downloaded Lion when it came out and had the update last week (I think), but today is the first day to experience this issue and nothing was downloaded today. I've been sending out a flurry of emails, but nothing else to hint at why this problem happened. Any ideas??

Humm, thank you. I have my iPhone and iPad on the wireless network, and yeah--using the rechargable batteries. I'll try normal batteries and re-join the phone and get back to you. May take a day or so because the semester starts today. Thank you again.

  • Crash during software update!  Please help!

    Could someone please help me? I attempted to update my software when prompted, including Leopard and Itunes, but during the restart process my computer froze.
    I restarted it and tried to update my software again, but now I get an error message that says "The digital signature for this package is incorrect" and will not let me update. Now, Itunes refuses to open and I have no idea how to correctly update my computer or fix the Itunes problem.
    I also attempted to send an error message to Apple and that option is no longer working on my computer either. I'm horrible with computers, but I would really appreciate any advice anyone could provide me! Thank you so much!

    repair permissions go to Applications/Utility/diask Utility and verify and repair permission then
    zap pram appleoption+pr during a re-start
    go to apple.com/support/downloads and download the itunes and 10.5.2 installer.
    never use the software updater pane

    Hi everyone,
    I purchased my MacBokk Pro a little over a year ago brand new from an Apple store. As of a few month ago it refuses to do a software update. It says it cant connect because of a network problem, but when I run a network diagnostic it says there is no problem. Please help me

    No specific update. Just trying to check for software updates and it wont even let me check for one. I know there will be many updates to do because it hasnt let me check for updates in months

  • My Droid2 Global will not pair to My Ford SYNC since the latest software update.  Please help!

    Since the latest update, my Droid2 will not pair to my Ford SYNC.  The phone will not find SYNC for me to place in the PIN.  It use to work wonderful before the latest update.  
    I can not drive and talk on my phone without SYNC.  Corporate Car- Corporate Policy.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello rosalee2340,
    Thank you for sharing your concern as I am more than happy to assist you! Are you able to successfully pair your Droid 2 with another bluetooth device, like an earpiece or a computer? This will help us determine if there is an issue with the bluetooth technology after the software update or is it a compatibility issue. Also, what year and model vehicle do you have? In order to successfully pair with the vehicle, the Droid 2 must be in discovery mode. Below is a link to walk thru placing the Droid 2 into discovery mode.
    http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=34745
    Once the phone is in discovery mode, the next step would be to attempt to pair with SYNC again. Here is a video link with the steps on how to pair a phone with SYNC.
    http://syncsupport.ford.com/servlet/technology/connect-phone-sync
    If the pairing is unsuccessful then you can contact the dealership for assistance with the pairing process and/or for an updated device compatibility list of phone. Let me know how the steps above works out for you.
    Thank you...

  • My ipad2 froze again when updating the previous software update. Please help me retrieve from my last iCloud backup?

    Yep, it froze again.  Apple owes me for the value of most of my iBook purchases made by individuals that iCloud doesn't backup, plus the photos I am losing because I had a problem synching with the backup, my connection got broke, and now it wants to synch with not yesterdays backup, only the ones it had partially loaded before the broken connection.  How can I start over?  I am ticked that Apple can't warn a person to move photos, etc. off the iPad before they show you the button to update.  They have known of this problem with iPad 2 not having enough room but instead of fixing it or warning people it does nothing.  I will never buy another iPad again.

    If you have an iCloud backup then set your iPad back to as-new condition with Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. You can then go through the new iPad Setup procedure and, when when you reach the stage where Setup asks if you wish to restore, you can select to restore from your latest iCloud backup.
    Note that an iCloud backup should contain the photos that were in your Camera Roll.

  • Apple software update problem *please help

    i cant use the software update
    this has been going on for over two months

    please help

    The IP of your Software Update Server looks strange, not sure if it's correct or not. But it looks like a hamachi IP (VPN).
    Not sure though.

  • Nothing Adobe will install or update! PLEASE help!

    It started when I went to update Adobe Reader and Flash Player. Whether I completely remove them and try to instal from scratch or just try to update I get this error window popping up.
    Firefox could not install the file at
    http://platformdl.adobe.com/NOS/getPlusPlus/1.6/gp.xpi
    because: Unexpected installation error
    Review the Error Console log for more details.

    I'm using Firefox and have Windows Vista. Thank you in advance for any help you guys might be able to give me!

    Hi, Use the Administrator account. Download the Uninstaller and SAVE it to your Desktop:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    Then download the Flash Player Installer for Firefox and SAVE it to your Desktop:
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    Then downlad the Flash Player Installer for Internet Explorer and SAVE it to your Desktop:
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
    Be sure to read over the Uninstaller instructions for system tray, and Make sure you use the Administrator Account.
    When you have that done, Close ALL browsers. Run the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.
    When fully rebooted, Reboot again (to clear all old files out)
    Then Run the Firefox Installer, then Run the IE Installer and when finished, Reboot Once.
    Test both browsers here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Then Using IE, go to manage add ons (all add ons) and find Shockwave Flash Object and make sure it is Enabled.
    Then Using FF, find the SWF vs 10.1.53.64 plug-in and make sure it is Enabled.
    If you have any questions, just post.
    Thanks,
    eidnolb
    Note: If you don't want Flash Player in IE, then ignore that link.
    I would wait and Install Reader after a fix has been released.

  • Every time i open firefox i need to give permission to do it. This just started today and has not happened before

    i do not know what has happened but now the computer is asking for permission for firefox to make changes to the hard drive every time i open the browser. I have not changed my settings so what can i do to fix it? I have tried it with 3.6.3 and 3.6.4 same problem
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == today

    Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
    In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.
    You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.
    If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.

  • I click on my mobile me mail and the site "find my iphone comes up"; This happens even when I type in mobile me in the browser window! Only on firefox - not safari. What the heck? This just started today - and won't reverse!

    I have mobile me mail service. Use mac 10.6.7. Have latest firefox. Suddenly only can get "find my phone" - not mac mail - even when I type in the mac.me or mobile me mail in the browser window. Safari seems to work fine.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
