Just got the mac pro and mouse will not connect.

I've googled the heck out of it and can't find anything wrong.  At this point I don't know what else to say but, the mouse isn't working. Checked batteries, went through ALL processes, and nothing seems to work.  All I get it the green status light blinking or it will say it's connected for 30 secs but doesn't do anything. If anyone else has any other help or info I would appreciate it.

How far is you mouse from the back of your mac pro and is there anything between those two points?  Beyond about 3 to 4 feet the MM on a mac pro for many people is problematic.  Here's a 24-page thread on this topic:
Poor Bluetooth reception and jerky mouse
Bottom line, use a bluetooth dongle (that what I use -- IOGear GBU421) or wire up an external antenna to the bluetooth card inside your mac pro.
As an experiment you could try doing a smc and pram reset and keep the mouse close to the back of your machine and seeing if it pairs up and stays connected.

  • Just got the LG G2 and it will not allow me to upload pictures to FB. I can send and receive picture messages via texting but that is it. I've tried a hard reset twice, I've uninstalled FB and reinstalled it, and I've tried uploading it 3 different ways--

    I've tried a hard reset twice, I've uninstalled FB and reinstalled it, and I've tried uploading it 3 different ways--through my photo editor app, through the gallery, and through the FB app. Nothing works. Any suggestions? My Wi-Fi connection is great....

    Really sounds like you are doing it right, but the FB app is notorious for being buggy after each update, which is fairly frequent. Try to upload via the FB webpage in Chrome on the phone. You can try the mobile or desktop verion of the page by tapping menu settings in the browser. Its a little different but it'll let you know if its the app or the phone.

  • Bluetooth keyboard and mouse will not connect

    I loaded a linux iso on a usb. Loaded it on a reboot. It may have been corrupted or something, because it did not load correctly. I rebooted the computer again and now the bluetooth keyboard and mouse will not connect. How can I fix this?
    Thank you.

  • I just bought a time capsule and it will not connect to preexisting home WiFi.

    I just bought a time capsule and it will not connect to preexisting home WiFi.  The Airport Utility recognizes one of my neighbors networks but not mine.  I have ATT&T U-verse.  I understand I can use the Airport time capsule as a router but would prefer to use it in my existing network

    I have a similar hookup, I have a Airport Extreme & Time Capsule. I would like to connect my Extreme to the Time Capsule "6th gen". I would also like to use the LAN ports on the Extreme. Can this connection be done wirelessly or wired? I'm using a Mac Tower that does't have a wireless card if that's important. 
    As long as you have two apple routers then it is up to you which way you do it.
    You can connect them by ethernet and use it setup as roaming network.. for wireless.. it will simply be bridged on the router side. Ethernet is much the faster solution.
    But if you want to use wireless link that is also fine if the range is not too great. Then ethernet to the computer.. so you effectively have a wireless bridge...
    so, Cablemodem----Airport Extreme- - - - - - - -wireless link- - - - - Time Capsule------computer
    Where the more solid lines are ethernet.. that is possible setup. And using the TC directly on ethernet to the computer will keep your backup speed good while also giving you hopefully your full internet speed so that works well.

  • HT4623 I just got an iPhone 4, and I can not connect it with my iTunes. I tried to set up a new iTunes account but it says that my security code is wrong, even when everything is correct. What should I do?

    I just got an iPhone 4s, and I can not connect it with my iTunes from my previous account. I have already tried making another account, however it says that I have the wrong security code even though this is not true. What should I do?

    Contact iTunes support.  There's a link to it on the bottom of every page in the iTunes store.

  • What am I doing to make my screen zoom in while I  am using my mouse?  It zooms to about double size, and using the control key and mouse will not return it to its former size.

    When I am searching the internet and using my mouse, my screen will suddenly zoom in to about double size.  Clicking control and mousing will not return it back to where it was.  I have no idea what I am doing to cause this to happen or how to reverse it.

    Hi.
    If you're using a Magic Mouse, a double tap on the mouse with one finger will zoom.
    Double tap again to unzoom.

  • Just got the Mac Pro

    Hey everyone,
    I am new to the community and a convert to the Mac. Last week on Friday I ordered the 2009 Mac Pro 2.26ghz Nahelem x2/ 6gb ram/ 640gb hd/ airport card/ student MS Office / 4870 Radeon HD.
    I do 3d modeling and rendering along with video editing and my g@d this thing is fast! I absolutely love it. It is such an amazing machine and very quiet. I like to keep my legs near it since it turns into a nice warmer
    I am getting an additional 8gb of ram sent over so that would put me at 14gb ram. The mac pro can support 14 correct? I know it can go more, but is 14 an appropriate number? More importantly I know that it came with 6x1gb sticks so I believe i have 2 open slots.
    Glad to be part of the family!

    What is your reason for needing a 17"? If it's portability throughout the office, from desk to desk, then yes, but traveling with etc. You're more better off with a 15" imo. If you're not moving it at all, then Mac pro of course.
    The base 17" MBP is $2800. Have you seen the refurbished section recently?? Dam n!! They got a whole array of deals. These stick out in particular (equal or less in price of the 17")

    Refurbished is gold imo, same warranty, same everything, the only thing different is the box you get it in.

  • Just received by I Pad and it will not connect to ITunes or sync with my computer and it wasn't recognized by my MAc.

    I just received my IPad and it will not sync with ITunes and my Mac doesn't recognize it any form.  The screen is black with the exception of the annoying ITunes/USB cable graphic on the screen which appears momentarily and then disappears.  Any ideas? 

    Things you can try first off,
    is make sure you plug in your USB at the back of the mac, rather than for example keyboard.
    Check out another usb cable.
    Hold down sleep/wake and home button at the same time to reset iPad.
    Make sure you have the latest iTunes installed or you may have to reinstall iTunes.
    None of these work then I suggest you to take it to an Apple retail store for the genius guy to check it out.

  • I just updated the iPad IOS and it will not finish. HELP

    I just updated the iPad IOS to 8.3 and it will not finish the install it has been stuck for over 24 hours. I plug it into the Mac and the computer says that the iPad must give me access which of course I can't. So I can not do a hard reboot. help

    If it's stuck on the progress bar then you could try a soft-reset and see if that gets it to complete : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should reappear and it will hopefully reboot fully.
    If not then try recovery mode and restore to your backup : If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

    I just got an iphone 4S and I am trying to set up icloud with it and my Macbook but it will not verify my email so I am at a loss as to what to do? Any suggestions

    What version of iTunes do you have? You must have iTunes 10.7 or later. iTunes 11 is the latest.
    If you are using iTunes 11 use the View menu to View Sidebar and then connect your phone. Does it now show up in the left sidebar?

  • Just got an iPad mini and it will not charge.

    It doesn't charge from the wall charger or from my iMac.   I don't have another new style charger.  Looks like a bad cable or iPad Mini.
    Thoughts?

    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • I just bought an iPad 2 and it will not connect to wifi. I can't connect it to itunes because i don't have a laptop. It says it can't connect to my wifi but the password IS right. Help!!!

    I bought a wifi ipad2 recently and I can't get passed the set up screen. It will not let me connect to my wifi initially? I have the correct password. someone please help!!

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
