Key board and mouse don't function, key board and mouse don't function

my laptop does not respond to the mouse or key board , i dont know how to solve my problem.If anyone knows hot to fix it let me know.It fuctions when i put a usb keyboard and mouse...

I´m having the same problem. The mouse is the most problematic issue. The keyboar fails after working a while. The mouse sometimes loks up after a while, sometimes, it starts locked Up. I´ve tried to use a mouse driver under DOS, but it sometimes works, sometimes not (tried changing the mouse of course, same thing).

Discoverable key board and mouse

Hello,
My new computer starts the day unable to find mouse or key board.
I find it to be a stupid computer, every time I
check my email on my website it says the site is unknown and has no security, I asked the web hosting company and it says Mac has a problem, not them.
I don't really care if Mac routes everything through various national spy agencies but I would like to avoid plugging and unplugging the mouse and keyboard several times per day.
Thanks
Garrett

I have discovered a detail which may be helpful.
1) I plugged the mouse into a usb port on the computer and it always works.
2) With this expanded ability I can force quite the searching for a wireless keyboard set up window.
Then everything is okay.
Garrett
PS > Just closing the window does not do it, a restart is required before doing #2, this is of course easy with a functioning mouse.

Installed new hard drive in imac and i get folder with question mark, put in OS install disk and it does nothing? All I have is wireless key board and mouse, is this a factor?

Other than put disc in you don't give much info about what you've done. With the install disc inserted restart your Mac while holding the C key, that should start it up from the install disc. Should also work fine with a wireless Apple keyboard.

I have a power mac g3 it boots fine but mouse and key board do not work

The mac boots fine, I can see desk top, etc. The key board and mouse are connected but do not appear to work. This has just happened.

You could take it to a service center but: 1) It would probably cost more than the computer is worth. 2) You'd be lucky to find somebody who knows what a G4 is (maybe I exaggerate but really, they would laiugh at anything that "old"). 3) I don't think we're done here.
Do you still have the original discs. One of them has a hardware test that you can run. You could also see
if it boots to the original disc and if things still won't work. You could even try OS9.
Also look into CUDA reset and NVRAM reset. I think they are both references in the link I provided earlier.

Here's the list and downloads for AHT if you have an old G4...

If it really turns out to be the USB hardware that's bad you could probably find a third party USB card you could slip in there for next to nothing and would also give you USB2 speeds. There's minor disadvantages.
Oh, did we determine if it really isn't working at any stage? What about if you hold down the mouse key while booting the computer? That should open the optical drive door if it is being sensed.

Function and Mouse Shortcut Keys for Exposé Reset Frequently

I have been noticing, recently, that my keyboard and mouse shortcuts for exposé and dashboard reset almost every day. It happens most frequently after I run World of Warcraft or fullscreen with VLC (which I have set to use the first 5 function keys but not F9-F12, which I have set for exposé and dashboard). It will happen regardless of what I do, but more frequently when i run fullscreen applications. Is there anything I can do to stop it? Because I hate sitting down to my computer, wanting to check the weather or show the desktop and having to go to system preferences to turn the shortcuts back on. Thanks for any help.

I found the problem. You either have to play WoW full screen (completely) or unbind the bag buttons from the key bindings menu. Then reassign the buttons in Settings.

Function Keys and Mouse Right Click Stopped Working On New iMac

I bought a new iMac a couple of days ago and everything was working fine until last night when I noticed that the volume up/down function keys and also the mouse right click no longer worked.
For the mouse I tried turning off the right click option and back on again and also tried another mouse which has the same problem. Both work ok on a MBP which I have.
I have tried doing the normal SMC and PRAM resets which doesn't solve the problem.
One program which I installed after I got the computer was Logmein which screwed up my audio settings. After uninstalling that my audio settings are ok but I was wondering if the program could also have changed some other settings.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Have you checked the System/Keyboard preference pane to see if the Function key option is checked?

I am running SSH in Terminal window and my function keys don't work.

Hi all,
The company I am working in is using mainly Windows and they are running a database on Putty.exe
I managed to set up the SSH in Terminal on Mac OSX and I can see the database well and fine. Certain "commands" within the database are executed by numbers 1, 2, 3 etc while other "commands" are executed by function keys F1, F2 - F16 etc. However, when I press the F1 - F12 keys on my keyboard, they don't work as expected.
If any one has any expert advice, I would greatly appreciate it, thanks!

FInd out from your database administrator what terminal type the database application supports. Examples of terminal types are vt100 and ansi. Now go back to the Mac's Terminal Preferences and set the terminal to the matching type.

Function Keys and Power Commands Don't Respond

I've encountered an odd intermittent problem with my iBook G3 900. On certain boots the following issues crop up:
- Function keys are non-responsive. Expose, Volume, Brightness, and Eject all stop working.
- Power button doesn't respond. Also, software power commands don't respond. The only way to shut down the system is to do a force shutdown by holding down the power button for four seconds (or other unpleasant things like unplugging the power and the battery, which I refuse to do except under the most dire circumstances).
- "About This Mac" refuses to load. Sometimes I see the window appear, but it parks itself at the top left of the screen where I can't get to the window bar, and Expose obviously doesn't help.
Now as I said, this problem is intermittent. It only seems to occur on certain boots, but it's incomprehensibly annoying when it does appear. The iBook is a secondary system, so I have barely anything on it and I don't do anything crazy with as far as software goes. All I know is that the problem appeared after I rebooted after installing SideTrack, but try as I can I can't seem to link my problem with aforementioned app. If the problem does assert itself, I force a shutdown, and it goes away on the next boot.
Any thoughts?

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
One of the first troubleshooting procedures to try when you are seeing operational anomalies is to reset the PMU.
What is the hard drive capacity and how much space remains available on it? Sometimes strange things start to happen when you get down to less than 5 GB of free hard drive space.

Hi I'm new to Mac. I have a macbook air and for some reason the top keys, ec, f1 etc etc are not functioning and emitt the non function noise when pressed. Also the volume keys don't adjust the volume. Have I done something to disable them?

I don't have the same version of OS X here but try System Preferences>Keyboard. Is there an option similar to "Use the F1, etc, keys as standard function keys"?
If so, and it has a checkmark, uncheck it & see if that does the trick.

I am having trouble.I can't even set my Touch back up. I can type on the key board. I try to touch one key and a bunch go. I don't even have to touch the screen.

First make sure the screen is clean,
The try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings (if you can)
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem

Satellite L305D-S5895 - Functions keys and WLan don't work with Win XP

Hi,
first sorry for my english
I bought a Toshiba Satellite l305d s5895, with winXP, because I need software, but the function keys doesn't works.
So I need a driver, but i can't find it, and the internet wireless doesn't work.

>Where would one find this special XP BIOS?
In my opinion there is problem because most threads here are about European notebook models. so then come question from US. Toshiba Europe and Toshiba US don't work together and every of them is responsible for own models and offer support for country specific notebook models.
So here in Europe Toshiba has for most models offered two BIOSes. One was already on the Vista delivered notebooks. On download page Toshiba has offered BIOS for WXP. in most cases it was version 5.xx and this BIOS was designed to support Toshiba specific tools and utilities. For example, full FN keys functionality was available with this WXP BIOS only.
So if someone of you have US notebook model they should see how to find the solution with Toshiba US or US forum under http://community.compuserve.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?webtag=ws-laptop&redirCnt=1
Bye and good luck!

My keyboard (wired) has lost functionality on the music PLAY/PAUSE, FORWARD and BACK, and VOLUME KEYS. They do NOTHING. All else is fine. How can I reassign them correctly? (Don't see those functions listed with System Settings/Keybard shortcuts).

Crayolla,
Try doing a SMC and PRAM resets. Sometimes it takes 2-3 attempts for them to work so be a little persistent if they fail the first time.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Have you turned the computer off and then back on (force quit if necessary by holding the power button)?
Try resetting the SMC:
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
