K8N NEO 2 Platinum sometimes doesn't initialise the keyboard and mouse

I got a K8N NEO 2 Platinum for christmas, and everytime it reboots (fine when you turn it on fresh), it produces the shortest of bleeps, and doesn't initialise the keyboard and mouse. The only way to do anything then is to go for the power button and windows xp shuts down. It is still responding, just the bios hasn't initialised the keyboard and mouse.
Anyone know anything about this, and how to solve it?

ok, thanks

I have had the same problem. It was cured by turning computer off and/or restarting it. I am not sure if once was enough. I think shutting down must cut out whatever it is that blocks bluetooth. Good luck

Need to have the keyboard and mouse 100 feet away from Mac

I need to have the Keyboard and Mouse/Track-pad 100 feet away from Mac Mini.
What are my options ?
Thanks

In your case with the need to control it from multiple locations the best and realistically only solution is to use Screen Sharing to remotely control the Mac.
With this solution you can control it from anywhere you have a network connection and could use a laptop to control the Mac mini. This is the solution I use in a very similar situation.
Bluetooth does not have enough range, even RF wireless keyboard and mice devices also would not have the range, and I don't believe there is a suitable USB solution.
The only other possibility that occurs to me is to use an IP based KVM. A KVM (Keyboard/Video/Mouse) switch box allows multiple computers to be controlled from typically a single keyboard and mouse. However there are versions which allows you to do this over a TCP/IP network i.e. Ethernet. Then again you would be able to do this anywhere on your network. Here is one example - http://www.aten-usa.com/products/productItem.php?model_no=CN8600
Personally I still strongly recommend using Screen Sharing. Its built-in and completely free!

The keyboard and mouse have stopped 'talking' to the computer. New batteries in both units. Can't write, e-mail, text etc. What do I do next?

The keyboard and mouse have stopped 'talking' to the computer - cursors do not move in response to mouse, right and left clicks do not register and typing does not happen.. Batteries have been replaced on both. The computer seems to be working normally in all other respects. The little green 'on' lights on both the mouse and keyboard light up for ~10 seconds,blink for about 20 seconds, and then go out. Computer shut down and restart did not change the situation. What's next?

Get a wired keyboard and mouse for times like these, also to perform at boot keyboard commands in emergencies.

Does the keyboard and mouse to the iMac have batteries?

Do i have to worry about the keyboard and mouse dying? batteries? charging them?
I don't know if i should be making an effort to turn them off when i am done using them?

Not if you purchase them wired! Your worries will be over.

Logitech S 530: Mac Mini sometimes doesn't recognise the keyboard/mouse

Hi!
I bought the Logitech S 530 for my Mac Mini Intel Core Solo some weeks ago. Sometimes the mac doesn't recognize the keyboard/mouse set and the Logitech Control Center say "No logitech-hardware found". And then all the extra buttons on my mouse and keyboard doesn't work. A simple restart doesn't solve the problem. Often I habe to switch of the computer or even deinstall und reinstall the driver. I wrote to the Logitech Support, and they told me to delete as a root-user some files and then to reinstall the Logitech Control Center. I did it, but the problem wasn't solved. Even if the Logitech Control Center told me, that the hardware wasn't found, the system profiler say:
USB Receiver:
Version: 22.40
Bus-Strom (mA): 500
Geschwindigkeit: Bis zu 1,5 MBit/s
Hersteller: Logitech
Produkt-ID: 0xc50c
Hersteller-ID: 0x046d
Does anyone have a idea about this problem?
Thank you,
Sebastian

Hi!
Has it continued to work alright since your last post
on Sept. 30?
Yes, it works very good (as you can read, because I type on it!)
But I got some news from the APE-Support:
They told me, that this message in the system.log isn't a error message: "You'll see these messages simply to inform that Application Enhancer cannot and does not affect processes owned by root. They are purely informative." Then I asked, why this "information" is written in the system.log I got another mail. They told me, that this message came from a maxtor software, which I installed to use my externel drive. and: "The maxtor software doesn't use APE at all. APE is saying it cannot affect the software in any manner, in case you were expecting it to work with the maxtor software. I'm not sure if that maxtor software even works. If you don't use the button on your maxtor drive, you can just disable the maxtor software completely."
So, I seems that there is a problem between this logitech driver with APE and the Maxtor-Stuff. But, Ashleyn, do you use the maxtor software too?

Slight Crack on the Keyboard and Mouse...wat shud i do?

I have a slight crack on my keyboard and mouse pad. I really don't know how it appeared coz I always keep my macbook safely and it never fell or anything.
Thanks

This happened to me back in october, the genius actually replaced everything but the bezel around the screen, now this afternoon ive opened my macbook and 2 pieces have come off on the bezel above the ridges at the top, and on further examination the bottom case is cracking too. Are apple still repairing these outside of warranty? ive read on various boards that they are and its a known problem, or theyre not, does it just depend on the genius in question? because i live over an hour and half away from the nearest apple store and im reluctant to go if i cant get it repaired for free.

Remember the Keyboard and Mouse System Preferences ...

Hello,
In the KEYBOARD SYSTEM PREFERENCES, I have unchecked some keys attributed by the system (ex: F2 = Dashboard, F12 = all windows, etc ...). Every time I restart the computer all thoses changes are lost and I have to uncheck them again. Anyway to keep those changes permanent ??
Thanks in advance.
Robert Lespérance

The keyboard preferences are in "com.apple.systempreferences.plist"
found at Your User Folder / Library / Preferences/
will need to check all prefs after reboot
Changes don't take effect until the pane is closed

Controlling Startup Using the Keyboard ande Mouse

In answer to an earlier post, I was given a method for switching startup disks at startup via the keyboard. Hold the control key down while starting.
That particular startup key combination is not among the listed combinations in the apparently incomplete article on the Apple support site: Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts:
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75459>
Go figure. How many others did they leave out, I wonder... holding the mouse button down on startup to open the CD drive is not listed, either.
Does anyone have any idea where there is a complete list? TIA

Hi, Roger!
Some keyboard shortcuts aren't universal and don't work with all Mac models, like the Startup Manager (Option key during startup). Perhaps some commands were intentionally omitted from that particular listing for such reasons, rather than being unintentionally missed.
Here are more/other key commands, if you're interested:

Problems installing OS
I have an iMac 21.5 (mid-2010) and I'm trying to install a new hard drive. When I choose the installation disk the Apple logo comes up and it stops there. Then the mouse and keyboard goes dead. I'm trying to install 10.6. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Since you have a new hard drive, there is nothing on it, so you need to boot from an external source (and probably format the hard drive before installing an OS). Are you booting from the 10.6 install disk? Better yet - do you have a bootable backup clone or at least a Time Machine backup?

Scripting the keyboard and mouse to be disabled

Hello all,
I have a need to temporarily disable both for security reasons, and then enable them again. Can someone help me out? I am fairly new to AppleScript, so please keep it simple if possible.
Thanks in advance,
Jerefrog

'I have a need to temporarily disable both for security reasons, and then enable them again. Can someone help me out?... so please keep it simple if possible.' - you cannot, via AppleScript, ... for security reasons.

K8N Neo Platinum keeps shutting down

I have just built a new system with a K8N Neo Platinum, Athlon 64 3400+ with retail heatsink and fan, 1GB of Corsair TWINX1024-3200C2 DDR400 memory, eVGA GeForce 6800 GT, two 80 GB Maxtor SATA drives in an Antec Sonata case with its TruePower380 watt PS, and my existing NEC 2500 DVD-RW and a DVD-ROM drive and floppy. The system keeps shutting down before I can get WindowsXP installed. It seems to be a heat issue, since its runs the longest after a lengthy shut down, but the bios hardware monitor shows the system temp stable at 33 and the CPU temp at 39.
If I let it idle, it continues to run, but it frequently shuts down when I put a load on it, such as saving the bios configuration or starting Windows during XP setup. I have been able to get XP installed once and started to install the Nforce drivers, but it shut down in the middle of this. Windows files seem to be corrupted frequently. It seems to be somewhat better after I pulled the Athlon heat sink and reapplied a thinner layer of Arctic Silver II. I note that the heatsink does not attach as tightly as the one on my Athlon 1800+. The heatsink fins always seem to be cool to the touch. I notice that the machine usually (but not always) shuts down on a keystroke. I am using a PS/2 keyboard since my USB keyboard doesn’t seem to work.
I understand this motherboard has some issues with temperature sensing, and I would like to get XP installed so I can flash to a later bios and try some moderate overclocking.
I am considering going to an aftermarket CPU cooler, installing a larger power supply, or replacing the MB. I am also considering switching the RAID configuration on the SATA drives from 0 (striping) to 1 (mirrored) or just turning off the RAID function until I get this fixed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Trickster2

Thanks for the suggestion. The Antec 380 has 18 amps on the 12 volt rail, 35 on the +5 and 28 on the +3.3, and I have seen numerous posts of people successfully using this PS for this MB. I have tried reducing the power demand by switching to an old PCI video card, an old stick of 256MB memory, unplugging the optical drives, floppy and case fans, but the machine still shuts down just as quickly.
I finally got XP installed, but haven't been able to update the BIOS yet.
Is there anyway to know whether it's the CPU, the PS or something else causing the shut down?

MSI K8N Neo Platinum Nforce3 250GB - PSU?

My sister in law have this board, MSI K8N Neo Platinum nforce3 250gb chipset, recently the power supply sounds noisy and a high frequency sound from the Antec Truepower 380W SP. Had maked an RMA to Antec and they had agreed to replace the 380W psu with SmartPower2.0 450W. But they asked me one question, that im not sure about:
"Make sure that your motherboard does not need the -5V. If you want more information on the power supply you can look at this link: http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=26450 "
So, do Antecs SmartPower 2.0 450W suits this board and what really is -5V for? As I read the manual, it said ATX 20 pin power connector: JWR1 and at pin 18: -5V
So does it mean this board need a psu that gives -5V on ATX 20 pin power connector and thos board can't use with Antecs SP 2.0 450W?

Hi!
The K8N Neo Platinum (MS-7030) doesn't use -5v to anything.
So the -5v from the old atx spesification is not needed in your case.
WoW, thanks for fast reply!
So, it won't be any problem to use Antecs SmartPower 2.0 450W with this board then? Want to make sure about it, before accept Antecs offer for replacement and had spent over 4 days to find the problem with his computer. Really don't want to do it again.
This is his riggs:
Antec Sonata
AMD 64 3000+ S754
Corsair Value S. PC3200 DDR 512MB
Maxtor Diamondmax 9 250GB SATA
Maxtor Diamondmax 9 IDE 160GB
Sapphire Radeon 9550 Atlantis 128MB DDR
and
Accton ethernet card on PCI slot
MSI D-Bracket2
so
With the "new" Antec SmartPower 2.0 450W
Any problem with this rigg and PSU?
edit:
Dound this post that it said the board do need -5V and now Im confused?

yes but its also wrong to assume tha beta BIOS are unstable.in fact most these days are rock stable hence the fact they become official.
