  • My iMac keyboard and track pad freeze up

    My iMac keyboard and trackpad freeze up on occasion.

    I deleted the mouse by selecting it in the bluetooth options and clicking the minus tab. I went ahead and reinstalled OS X right afterwards. Right now I am having to use a USB mouse and keyboard. I disconnected both prior to start up. I get a widow that shows a demonstration on how to install batteries into a wireless mouse only way to pass that screen was to reattach the USB mouse. Then with a fresh startup no resolve.

  • How to switch two languages in wireless keyboard in window 7 in imac?

    I bought Imac in Canada and bought wireless keyboard which has Korean and English in Korea. Now I connect and use English Korean keyboard in OS X  succesfully. But I can't use English Korean keyboard in window 7 in Bootcamp.. The English Korean keyboard is already connected but can't type Korean. I tried command and space bar, and alt key when I want to switch that. But It just doesn't work. Please let me know how I can use Korean in my keyboard. Thanks

    That is obviously a point of view that many would share. However, it does not really answer the question :-).
    When using multiple Desktops with many open apps using Cmd + Tab can require a lot of keystrokes - even if you use Cmd + Shift + Tab to move backwards.

  • Configure the  Apple numeric keyboard under Windows in iMac

    I have an iMac with Windows 7. How can I configure the  Apple numeric keyboard under Windows?

    From Apple:
    Are there any Macintosh features that I should not expect to work when running Windows XP on an Intel-based Macintosh computer?
    Even after installling the Macintosh Drivers CD, the Apple Remote Control (IR), Apple Wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard or mouse, Apple USB Modem, MacBook Pro's sudden motion sensor, MacBook Pro's ambient light sensor, and built-in iSight camera will not function correctly when running Windows.

  • Apple Wireless mouse and keyboard with Windows on iMac Intel

    Hi there!
    Is it possible to use the Apple Wireless mouse and keyboard on the iMac Intel running Windows XP?
    My bluetooth setup assistant can't find any of them.
    Thanks!

    Actually if You Use the wireless mouse during the setup for windows it works fine the only drawback it that using the wireless mouse on windows is that it drains the battery more quickly than Mac OS X does. So make sure you have extra batteries around

  • Keyboard and trackpad freeze and randomly become unresponsive

    I've got a MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011) running Mac OS X 10.8.2.
    Since a few weeks ago at random intervals my keyboard and trackpad become permanently unresponsive. I don't recall any particular cause or change that would have caused this to start happening.
    What happens is that the trackpad and keyboard will stop functioning completely. The computer, display etc. would continue to function properly:
    The clock keeps ticking.
    If music were playing it would continue etc.
    Internet connectivity (via an ethernet cable or WiFi) continues to work as well (a download will continue, and even resume if I disconnect and reconnect the ethernet cable).
    Presssing the power button will bring up the shutdown dialog as usual (but I can't use it, obviously, so a forced shutdown needs to be performed instead by holding down the power button longer).
    .. but the keyboard and trackpad are rendered inoperable, as if they were no longer connected.
    I've made no progress in finding out what could possibly be the cause of this. A few observations:
    It has never happened while not using the keyboard (e.g. watch a DVD with TV series for a few hours, and afterwards the keyboard would always be fine).
    It always happens while actively typing (e.g. while in the middle of replying to an e-mail).
    It is not a temporary problem, the keyboard and trackpad will not become responsive again after some time (the computer isn't particulary occupied with calculating something big, no beachball and no busy mechanical noises).
    It does not happen progessively. It works fine and snappy one second, and I'm touching a dead keyboard a split second later.
    I tried connecting a USB keyboard but that doesn't seem to work either (I'm mentioning this since some of the linked threads below close with that as a solution).
    Possibly related (although I haven't found anything in these threads):
    Keyboard causes trackpad to not function properly
    Keyboard and trackpack freeze
    Keyboard and Trackpad Unresponsive
    MacBook Pro Keyboard & TrackPad freeze! Totally Unresponsive!
    MacBook Pro inbuilt Keyboard and Trackpad freeze when not connected to bluetooth devices?
    I've crawled through some log files in /var/log (via the shell and through Console.app) and found a couple things that may be relevant, although they seem unrelated. Etiher way, I was surprised by what I found. All sorts of errors with regards to Bluetooth and USB stuff. I'm not aware of using either. I haven't used bluetooth in years and though I sometimes charge an iPod by USB, I haven't had any problems with that, and this keyboard/trackpad freeze has also happened on sessions where I started the laptop and never even touch the USB ports in the time leading up to the freeze.
    Sample log from when it happened. It last happened at 21:04:xx:

  • Intermittent keyboard and trackpad freezes in 10.5.2 (not again!)

    Hi all,
    I'm having a major issue with my MacBook Pro built-in keyboard and trackpad. This issue is incredibly reminiscent of the previous widespread keyboard/trackpad freeze problems, documented in a number of threads, such as here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5860606
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1196400
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6103438
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1190210&tstart=0
    What's special about this case is that these issues began very recently, well after I installed Mac OS X 10.5.2, which I recall is supposed to provide a fix for exactly this issue. I've never had a problem with this MacBook Pro notebook before, so this is incredibly unnerving.
    The issue is frustratingly intermittent, but frequent. Sometimes the entire keyboard and trackpad locks up (freezes) and won't acknowledge any input whatsoever. Other times the keyboard and/or trackpad appear to get "choppy", sometimes the keyboard will miss a key causing a typo while typing or the trackpad will suddenly stop moving the cursor. Other times the keyboard will repeat keys by accident, causing maaaaajor typos (kind of like that).
    What's really weird is that I'm seeing the floating "eject" bezel appear (the symbol that you see when you hit the keyboard's eject button) very frequently, when my fingers are nowhere near that key and I'm sure it's not pressed. This even happens sometimes when I'm not using the keyboard at all, just the trackpad (most often while scrolling with the two fingers gesture).
    I've troubleshot this in a number ways. Here is one such troubleshooting session's activity log that I kept while performing the troubleshooting:
    ---- CLIP ----
    MacBook Pro Keyboard Freeze problems troubleshooting log
    * Symptoms are a frozen keyboard and trackpad, that is, no input being recognized by the keyboard or trackpad. Not even the light of the caps lock key lights up when the issue is present.
    * Restarted computer. Issue recurred moments after logging back in and beginning to type.
    * Restarting, zapping PRAM. Issue is gone for a little while but has recurred.
    * Found a single line at the time issue began again in the "All Messages" log shown by Console.app that reads as follows:
    4/24/08 Apr 24, 8:58:15 PM kernel USBF: 551. 7 IOUSBCompositeDriver[0x65b7280](IOUSBDevice) GetFullConfigDescriptor(0) returned NULL
    * Restarting computer again, trying to boot in verbose mode. Can't!! Keyboard wasn't recognized even at this stage! Can't log in either, keyboard unresponsive at login screen.
    * Restarting again (via external USB mouse). Login window comes up and keyboard input is acknowledged. Very strange.
    * Keyboard input lost once again after using the keyboard for a short period of time.
    * Restarting, zapping PRAM again, and Logging in as Leopard's "Guest" user to try and isolate issue...no good, just seconds after logging in, the keyboard and trackpad freeze again.
    * Restarting once again, this time everything works. Noticed that the keyboard backlight is not lighting up in low-light situations. Trying to change the light level with the keyboard keys always results in the keyboard backlight bezel showing up with a prohibitory symbol. This is looking more and more like a keyboard driver issue.
    * Repairing disk permissions, no problems reported. Verifying disk itself, no issues reported. Issue persists.
    Observations and Lessons learned:
    * This issue began slowly, with freezes sometimes happening hours apart from one another, however it accelerated quickly. Now sometimes only mere seconds after logging in, my keyboard is frozen and sometimes the keyboard is even frozen at boot time, so that start up modifiers are not even recognized!
    * Zapping PRAM helps, sometimes, but only for a short period of time.
    * No other traditional Mac fix seems to affect the issue (repair permissions, etc.)
    * The issue occurs regardless of whether or not any peripheral devices are attached to the system.
    Perhaps unrelated, but interesting (and new!) to note:
    * The Bluetooth menu item reports that "Bluetooth: Not available", the Bluetooth System Preference pane is not visible, and System Profiler reports that "No information found" about Bluetooth.
    ---- END CLIP ----
    I've yet to try resetting the SMC, or doing a clean install, but from the copious amounts of users who reported similar errors in the threads I linked at the start of this post, those options only sound marginally hopeful.
    Some of these issues (like the weird eject key suddenly firing on its own) have been present for a little under a week, but the freezing is brand new. The only system-wide change I've made in the last week was installed the MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.5.1, which was successful (verified in System Profiler; my boot ROM version reads as MBP31.0070.B07).
    So mostly I want to know if anyone else using OS X 10.5.2 is also experiencing this problem. Also, though I'm grateful I could actually use my built-in keyboard to type this message (even with occasional missed keyboard presses, GRRR!!!) my only reliable workaround is an external keyboard. Which is a decidedly annoying thing indeed.
    Help?!?
    Thanks!
    -Meitar Moscovitz
    P.S. AUGH! Just as I was typing that last sentence the keyboard froze again! So I'm actually finishing typing this post via a VNC session. So, so, so so frustrating!

    I wanted to post once again with additional information just in case someone else is also having similar problems. Unfortunately, I'm almost certain that this is probably bad firmware or bad hardware, not a software issue at this stage. Here's why.
    KERNEL PANIC! Take a look at the backtrace and you can clearly see that the Trackpad is to blame. Also, in the system configuration report, not the boot ROM version string, which indicates that I have indeed updated to the latest firmware provided by the recent release of MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.5.1.
    Here's the Kernel Panic log and system configuration I reported to Apple:

    Sigh. I really don't want to take this to a third-party repair center, but as I'm in Sydney I can't wait for the Apple store to open up—whenever that's supposed to be.

  • Help me troubleshoot my iMac | random SPOD and freezes

    ok, I am 1 step away from literally throwing this iMac out the window, but maybe someone has got an advice before I do so.
    In the beginning of 2009, my iMac's harddrive went bad.
    I was able to rescue everything via target mode so no big deal. I went and bought a new harddrive for it and replaced it myself. I found a very good guide for the whole procedure and after that I installed a fresh copy of OSX 10.4 on it.
    Since then the system would start to do random freezes, sometimes for all running applications, and sometimes for just one or two simultaneously.
    The freezes normally lasts between 10 seconds to 4 minutes and I have so far (1 year later) not been able to discover any kind of logic/pattern in these freezes.
    Sometimes I can run a plethora of programs at the same time (iMovie, Photoshop, Quicktime, Safari, Pages etc) and everything goes fine for hours. Some times it will take me minutes to just launch Safari or Textmate.
    Now, it isn't as though I haven't tried doing anything about it, it just that so far nothing have worked out.
    Here is a list of things I have tried since it started in 2009
    - Running Repair Permissions (Disk Utility or holding down SHIFT when booting)
    - Running maintenance programs like Onyx, MacJanitor, Maintenance, iTools
    - Fixing font issues using FontBook, LinoType and FontNuke
    - Replacing/Upgrading RAM (I went from 1gb to 3gb)
    - Testing RAM with memtest
    - Running Disk Warrior
    - Disabling various processes/services (spotlight/mds etc.)
    - Uninstalling/upgrading/downgrading programs (mostly programs that I use alot like Firefox and Safari)
    - Upgrading the OS (first to Leopard, and then to Snow Leopard)
    - Re-installing OS X (I have tried different combinations like re-installing to Tiger, then upgrading to Leopard and SL, re-installing to Leopard without upgrading etc.)
    There might be more but I really cannot remember.
    Of course my focus has been mainly on the harddrive itself since this was the piece that got replaced, but everytime I run Disk Warrior or Onyx or any other diagnostics app I have come across, I am told that the harddrive is doing fine.
    In the middle of 2009 I then created a 50gb partition on which I installed Win XP. This was because of some work related software that I needed to run. Now, on Win XP I have yet to experience any problems relating to the one I have on OSX. (Of course there are problems with Win XP, but none of them were relating to my specific issue here).
    So as it is right now, and have been for too long, I'm better off running Win XP than I am running SL, and that just ****** me off..!
    Does anyone here have an idea about what to do next?
    I have thought about buying a new harddrive to replace the initial replacement drive, but if that is the only choice I have left, I would rather save up for a new iMac instead.
    I have already spent more than enough trying to fix this one.
    Here are some details about the system:
    Model-id: iMac5,1
    Processor name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor speed: 2.16 GHz
    Processors: 1
    Cores: 2
    L2-buffer: 4 MB
    Memory: 3 GB
    Bus speed: 667 MHz
    Boot ROM-version: IM51.0090.B09
    SMC Version: 1.9f4
    OS Version: 10.6.2
    Some of these are roughly translated by me from Danish.
    Thanks to the people still reading this.

    Hi Kguy,
    Thank you for the reply.
    The freezes happens when opening programs and when running them. And it happens with (as far as I know) all programs on the computer (including TimeMachine, Dashboard apps, Finder, login in/logging out etc.)
    As far as I know this is not related to my network, but I will try you suggestion and disconnect the computer fully before running programs on the computer.
    Sometimes when the freezes happen, everything on the computer freezes, even the seconds on the clock.
    And if I am watching something in Quicktime/VLC/DivX and a freeze happens. After the freeze is over Quicktime will then resume x amount of time later in the movie. Where x is equal to the amount of time the froze lasted.
    Hope this helps clarifying

  • Keyboard and mouse freeze randomly

    My keyboard and mouse freeze up for 2-4 seconds at seemingly random intervals.  I could go for a couple hours without it happening, or like now, it has happened twice while writing this.  If I'm typing something when it freezes, nothing I type while it's frozen ends up showing up, but if I had hit a key right when it froze, it will repeat itself until I press something else after it unfreezes.  They keyboard and mouse both freeze at the same time, it's not one or the other.  It has nothing to do with standby like the topic below...it can happen right after I boot up or anytime thereafter.
    My hardware is an eMachines M6805 laptop (upgraded to 2GB of RAM) and just a basic Dell USB mouse and keyboard.
    I tried searching the forums, but the search box on here searches the entire web for some reason even if I tell it to search TechNet, so I apologize if this has already been answered.

    I just had my Desktop freeze whilst I was using Media Player minimised to the taskbar.
    I came back to my PC and couldn't use the keyboard or mouse. I plugged in a wired USB mouse and this did not work either. I then used the mouse and keyboard buttons on my MCE remote and still nothing happened, actually something happened as my hard drive
    became very busy, but there was nothing happening on screen. I had to reboot to get back to normal operation.
    I use a Logitech Bluetooth MX500 keyboard and mouse and have been having problems since I had Windows 7, but thought it was the keyboard and mouse at fault. This is the first time that I have encountered this problem, but I have had problems with the keys
    sticking, very annoying when you're in Visual Studio and it goes and deletes a load of code for you because the backspace key was the one that stuck. The cursor also randomly jumps lines occasionally and inserts text where I don't want it. This wouldn't be
    such an issue if I was a touch typist and could look at the screen whilst typing, but I am not and only realise the errors when I have finished typing.
    Anyway, Mine is a custom built PC(all drivers and windows fully up to date) which ran XP with zero problems:
        Gigabyte mboard and graphics card (Nvidia) with I5 processor and 4GB ram.
    If this was a USB hub Powersave issue, then I would still expect the hub to wake up when a new device was pugged in, so I'm going to count that fix out.
    I'm not sure that the freezing was a mouse/keyboard fault, I suspect that this is more a video driver fault as the computer did become very busy doing something when I used the MCE remote, it's just the screen didn't update to show what it was doing.
    I should have looked at the taskbar clock to see if the time had updated, I'll do that next time if it happens again.
    I've disabled the Power Save options for the hub that controls the mouse and keyboard, perhaps this will stop the keys sticking and jumping around when I'm typing in Visual Studio.

    Please help!! 
    It's between the Control and Command keys on the lower left. It's also called alt but is best know as the Option key.  You are using an Apple keyboard aren't you?

  • Mbp keyboard nonresponsive, screen freezes, ideas?

    My MBP keyboard and screen freezes; any ideas on a fix?

    Reset the SMC (may take 2-3 attempts) and also do a PRAM reset. Instructions are in Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets. If that does not fix the problem then please post an EtreCheck report of your computer in your reply.

  • PC key caps for iMac keyboard

    I am planning to switch from PC to iMac as soon as the 2012 iMac becomes available (whenever that may be). Since I use my current desktop for work and gaming, I plan to run Boot Camp with Windows 7 all the time. I prefer the look and feel of the iMac keyboard, but would still prefer a PC keyboard layout, so I my question is this: where can I buy PC keycaps on the iMac keyboard. The keys in questions would be:
    iMac key     PC key
    cmd left       alt
    cmd right     alt gr
    alt left          windows
    alt right        menu
    f13               insert
    f14               print screen
    f15               pause/break
    I have found several websites that sell replacement keycaps for iMac keyboards, but I have not found any that sell PC keycaps for iMac keyboards. Any tips?

    Thanks, The hatter, but I would prefer to keep the iMac keyboard since I really like its look and feel. No idea where I can buy PC keycaps for it?
    I just strikes me, wouldn't this be something Apple could sell to custmers that buy iMacs to use primarily with Windows? I mean, since switching to Intel processors and offering Bootcamp, Windows would as natural a choice for iMac users as OS X?

  • I have just purchased an iMac for home - am I able to network an iMac with a windows laptop?

    I have just purchased an iMac for home - am I able to network an iMac with a windows laptop?

    It sounds really unlikely though... You have to type in your password twice when setting up so you either:
    made the same typo twice
    the caps lock was on
    You held down SHIFT during one of the letters
    the keys have relocated because of different language keyboard layout
    you simply forgot exactly what you typed.
    Are you aware that passwords are case-sensetive? also, when using punctuation in passwords be aware that language localization of the keyboard can cause relocation of certain symbols like $ and € and * and ' which may make it impossible to retype the password correctly, if you are unaware of the correct way to type a certain puntuation symbol.

  • Find/Change window freezes - Appleworks 6.2.9

    When I use the Appleworks Find/Change window for the first time after booting up my new iMac, the Find/Change window freezes up and then disappears and then the opened document on my desktop disappears from my desktop, too. I have Appleworks 6.2.9 and a new iMac purchased a few months ago. Why does the Find/Change window freeze up and do that? How do I fix this? Thanks for any help!

    The most likely cause is corrupt preferences & is easily fixed by deleting the AppleWorks preferences.

  • Keyboard and mouse freeze when trying to play Maplestory

    I recently purchased a Macbook Pro and have boot camped Windows XP sp3 onto it.
    I play a game called maplestory, and when I try to play it via boot camp, my keyboard and mouse freeze as soon as all of the intro splashes are done (So, once I get to the log in screen).
    All background programs work fine, however since I can't use my keyboard or mouse I can't do anything. The Apple Remote also doesn't function.
    This problem seems to be exclusive to Maplestory, as games such as Warcraft 3, Diablo 2, Doom3, and Portal all work fine.
