Keep losing my mouse from thin air

Hi, this is probably the 10th time that this happens in the last couple of days, so I decided to try and get help.
From nowhere, suddenly my mouse control disapears, touch pad included. The only way to get it to work is by Logging Out, using key command ShiftAppleQ, because nothing else works.
This is really annoying.
Is this a known problem, or is it just me?
Can anyone help?
Thanks a lot.

Please! Apple, someone, HELP!
I'm restarting my computer over and over because of this...

I keep losing volume output from one of my tracks (Strings) in GarageBand. The volume has gone completely from the whole track when I send the song to iTunes-can you help?

I keep losing volume output from one of the Tracks from my Song Project. The Strings volume, at first, was there but, when I sent the Song to my iTunes Library the strings volume was absent. Can any help? I've experience this before on another project, where for some unknown reason I've lost the Orchestral Choir volume. Sometimes, if the volume on a track disappears, I close everything down & then restart-this temporarily sorts it out but losing a track in the final mix is a different problem...please help!
Many thanks!!

I need the vocals to be the same volume throughout.
a good tool for that would be one of the compressors (a web search on "audio mixing compressor" will yield tons of information on using them)

I keep losing my connection from iMac to keyboard and mouse any help please

I keep losing connection between imac and my mouse and key board.I then have to power off and reboot to get connection can anyone help please!!!!

Hi
Update date for anyone who ha suffered with the problem of losing connection to an ext HDD.
For me, the solution appears to have been achieved by making use of my old 802.11 b&g Airport Extreme base station and my new 802.11 n Airport Extreme Base Station.
My network is now setup as follows:-
Airport 802.11 n - 5GHz
Macbook Black
Apple TV
Time Capsule
Airport Express Base Station
Airport 802.11 b&g - 2.4GHz
Playstation 3
Xbox 360 Elite
Nintendo Wii
iPhones
iPod Touch
Canon Wi-fi Printer
iMac G5
Sony VAIO TX2P
I connect my ADSL line to both AEBS by ethernet, changed the settings and this has dramatically improved my connection reliability and speed when streaming movies and/or music.
Through trial & error, I have also discovered that the other problems that I have are connected to situations when restart my Macbook after a shut down or restart and my iPhone is connected. This causes iTunes to start up but due to the restart, the ext HDD is not ready and therefore, ITunes opens its local library - I now just try to remember to use the Option key to choose the library. Finally, if the laptop just runs out of juice, the ext HDD doesn't have the chance to have a friendly handshake before losing its connection. When I restart, the connection does to the HDD fails and I have to restart AEBS
I hope that helps anyone with similar problems or who wants to make the most of their fast 802.11n equipment by making is use of that kit that was maybe considered redundant - by creating a dual frequency network that maximizes speeds on 802.11 n whilst allowing use of the legacy 802.11 b&g devices.

I keep losing my printers from the network

Yep. This has been going on since I did a full restore to my MacBook. I keep losing the connection to my two wireless printers. I go to print and and the printer que says that the printers are not connected. Then, amazingly enough, they get reconnected, sometimes by themselves and sometimes with me deleting and reinstalling.
BUT, when this happens I find that the other two computers on the network are not affected. So it seems an OS problem. (?)
I am using Time Capsule 2T for network.
Best,
Eric

they are downloaded through "media overdrive" and "media on demand", I am therefore assuming they are formated correctly. I am told that the problem is with the settings, but do not know which settings.

Keep losing my rintone from itunes

i keep losing my ringtone i have purchased it twice it shows up under sounds but later it disappers

Its a learning curve.
Try this.
Open Up MUSIC on the iPhone.
Then Click on MORE on the right hand bottom.
Then click on PLAY LISTS.
Then click on PURCHASED MUSIC.
It should show all the purchased music and ringtones.
or try SETTINGS-SOUNDS-Sound and Vibration Patterns-Ringtone
You can then search for the ringtone in there.

I keep losing the music from my iTunes library. Help please!!!

For some reason when i shut my iTunes down the next time i open it all of the songs have gone from my library. I can restore them from my itunes music folder but i do not know why this is happening and its really starting to annoy me. Any help please?????

That happens when the itunes database file doesn't get saved properly. By design, if itunes can't find a valid database file, it makes a new blank one.
iTunes Library.itl is the name of the file.
Is this on a Sony Vaio? There is a well-known bug with some bad sony software that erases the itunes database file. There are also problems with some ant-virus/security software packages not letting itunes save that file.

Apps load from thin air!!!

I recently bought an itouch for my daughter and notice that when she loads an app on her itouch...the same app will load on my 3GS iphone without me selecting anything. but will not load on anyone elses iphone (3 others on account...2G. 3G, and mine). We all use same account on itunes with different music/app libraries loaded. So I cant figure out why or how this is happening. Hopefully someone else has had this issue.

OK, then, if you are all using the same computer to sync to then, if you don't take any action to prevent it, Apps synced to that computer will also be loaded unto your other devices when they subsequently sync to that computer.
For each device being synced to a computer you can chose (check or uncheck) which Apps you want synced to it. See the iTunes App tab.

I bought a new MacBook Pro several months ago. I keep losing my wireless connection (my wife, sitting several feet from me has no problem with her iPad2). I find the quickest fix ix to turn Airport off and back on. Very annoying. Suggestions please?

What kind of wireless router are you using? more importantly which protocol are you connecting with? Are you and wife connecting using the 2.4Ghz band? or do you have a dual band router that offers the 5GHZ band? Are you both connecting vie 802.11 a/b/g or n?
The best thing to do is to go into SYSTEM PREFERENCES and select NETWORK, then select AIRPORT and click on the ADVANCED button.
Under the AirPort tab you should delete all the preferred networks and only add back in your network with the proper security settings and passwords.
If you hold down the option key on your keyboard while clicking on the airport icon at the top on your macbook pro. you'll seesome data that will tell you what band and mode you're connecting at, as well as in an indication of signal strength (RSSI) if you write down and post back that information it'll tell us what's going on.

Why does my mouse keep losing connection every minute

why does my mouse keep losing connection every minute, its not the batteries

I'm having the same issue. Every so often it loses connection then re establishes. This goes on repeatedly.
If you change batteries while the computer is still active then it takes for ever to re connect.
Can't wait until someone replies to your question.

HT2845 why does my wireless mouse keep losing connection?

Good morning,
My wireless mouse keeps losing connection...my batteries are at 100% and the "discoverable" option is checked off. Why is this happening?

Sometimes resetting these "fixes" odd problems - and it cannot hurt.
To make a device a favorite, go to system preferences>bluetooth. Highlight the device. If detailed information is not shown, click oin the little gear>show more info. Then click on the gear again and make the device a favorite.

Why does my mouse keep losing connectivity

My magic Mouse (came with the system) keeps losing connectivity. It seems that whenever the mouse has a period of inactivity such as when I am using the key board, it loses connectivity and I have to double tap it (two fingers) to get it to reconnect. Battery is >80%. Is this normal or is there a setting that can insure it stays connected? I appreciate any advice even if it is I have to put up with this annoyance. Thanks.

BDAqua
Thanks for the response. My WFi is a Linksys E2000. Because of the number of messages in the Console I will have to wait until the next time I lose connectivity and then check for messages in Console to see if there are any clues to what is going on.

I have set up my HP air print printer to my ipad 4 but it keeps losing it. When I try and print it says no air printer found.

I Have set up my HP air printer to my IPad 4. It keeps losing it. I am trying to print and it says no air printer found. Once I get it set up again and then don't use it for a while it has gone.

Have you tried ....
Rebooting your router? Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again.
Turn the printer off and then turn it back on again.
Check for a firmware update for the printer.
Reset Network Settings on the iPad. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
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.
