Keyboard deactivates when switching

I have two computers hooked up to a 4-port KVM switch and every time I switch between them I have to unplug and replug in the keyboard cable from the KVM output. The keyboard is a standard 101 key PS/2 keyboard and both computer have the default Microsoft keyboard drivers. Do I need 4 computers hooked up to it to keep the keyboard active or what? I'm not having any trouble with the mouse.

I've got the same problem, using a standard PS/2 keyboard with two systems on a 4 port KVM.  Also, when I use my mouse wheel in a web browser, it goes back to the previous page sometimes, big pain.  Not using a USB/PS/2 adapter, it's a wireless Logitech MX Laser.

  • V5-571p keyboard issue when switching profiles

    It seems like after I upgraded to 8.1 a few months ago, the physical keyboard on my laptop found a bug. It works just fine until you try to switch profiles, then it stops working. I'm unable to key in any characters using the physical keyboard, but the touchscreen board works. If I try to switch profiles, then restart the machine, the keyboard then magically works again for that profile - - - until I try to switch again. Every time we want to switch users, we're forced to restart the machine. Very troublesome. Who can help a guy out?

    I have to tell you - I've just been living with this problem since it began. I'm really at my wits end with it. I upgraded my machine to Windows 10 two days ago. IT SOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR ONE DAY. As soon as a forced update came down, this started happening again. I seriously looked all over for the solution the other poster here has provided, but there is nothing in the regions>administrative section that controls keyboards except for what language I'm trying to use. Here's a screenshot of what I see. WHAT AM I MISSING? 

  • Keyboard freezes when I try to switch users

    Hi, I've run into a vey interesting/perplexing problem.  My PC has two users on it, one is local with no password and the other not local and password protected.  When I try to switch between users my wired USB keyboard becomes unresponsive - if I'm switching to the account that requires a password, I can't type it in.  This problem occurs regardless of which account I'm switching to.
    I've tried uninstalling all the keyboards through device manager and rebooting.  Keyboard works until I try to switch users.
    Interesting development that I stumbled across - if I just unplug the keyboard and plug it back in everything is fine until I try to switch users.
    During my research, I found an article that referenced disabling the XHCI and enabling legacy USB support.  Problem with that, is that I haven't been able to find that setting in the BIOS anywhere.
    Very bizarre!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, RG

    Hello @Goose1961,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I have read your post on how your keyboard freezes when you try to switch users on you desktop computer, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    To ensure your system is able to recognize the keyboard when switching accounts, I recommend following the steps in this document on How to Add or Remove "USB selective suspend setting" in Power Options in Windows. This should help to disable USB selective suspend on both accounts after restarting your computer.
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

  • My primary keyboard is English UK and secondary one Spanish. Until now when switching keyboards the spell check would automatically change to the desired language. Somehow it does not happen anymore. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    My primary keyboard is English UK and secondary one Spanish. Until now when switching keyboards languages the spell check would automatically change to the desired language. Somehow it does not happen anymore. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    The keyboard doesn't normally play any role in Apple apps regarding spellcheck.  That  is determined by system prefs/keyboard/text/spelling.  Go the setup item at the bottom of the list and make sure that British English and Spanish are the only two boxes checked, and then set it to Automatic.  How well it works varies a lot.  You may also need to check Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Show Spelling and Grammar.
    If you are still using Pages 4, spellcheck is determined by Inspector > Text > More > Language.  Make sure that is set to the right thing for what you want to do.

  • IMac OS X (10.5) Black screen,chimes when switched on,light on keyboard and mouse. Have tried few tips to restar it. Still black. What could it be?

    IMac OS X (10.5) Black screen,chimes when switched on,light on keyboard and mouse. Have tried few tips to restar it. Still black. What could it be?

    Try to start up in Safe Mode. It uses a "one size fits all" display mode, runs one pass of Disk Utility "Repair Disk" as it starts up, then loads with minimal extensions and presents a login screen (even if you normally auto-login). It takes five minutes or more.
    If you get a picture, use System Preferences > Displays ... to change your screen resolution at least once.

  • Is there any way I can configure my Apple Keyboard to use things like keyboard combinations to switch iPad apps and stuff?

    I'm using an Apple Wireless Keyboard from the Apple Store in town and it works great for typing and media control, but if I could stick to my keyboard when switching apps, navigating menus, playing games, etc, that'd make my iPad usage great. I have a Mac but I hardly use it for much else but editing, and I find the iPad great but I'd like some more keyboard control.
    I don't mind if it means installing apps, or extra software or anything, but even just navigating menus and switching menus would be great.
    Thanks for any support in advance ;)

    P.S. I'm not really hot on jailbreaking, but if it's the only way then I will. Just saying :P

    Thanks, I saw that page, but I don't like the way iPad functions when VoiceOver's on. It feels to clunky and I still find myself going between keyboard and screen, probably tapping twice as much. Thanks for your help though ;)

  • Bluetooth mouse won't reconnect when switched on

    I have a 2.4GHz Mac Min (last model before being replaced by the model without DVD drive) and a Mac USB keyboard.  I wanted to use a Bluetooth mouse as I don't like the trailing lead with a USB mouse, but I wanted a conventional three button type mouse as I need that for my RISC OS emulator program, so I bought a Logitech V470 Bluetooth mouse.  I set it up in Bluetooth preferences with no problem and set it as a favourite.  It then worked very well and was comfortable, smooth and accurate.  The problem comes after I have turned it off, either when I am not going to be using the computer for a period of time, or at night, obviously to save batteries.  When I switch the mouse back on, the computer and mouse simply will not reconnect.  The only way I can get the mouse to reconnect is to plug in a USB mouse, delete the original device pairing, and set-up a new device again; or power the computer off and restart it.  Sometimes restarting the computer doesn't work as a dialogue box will open over the password screen saying it can't find any mouse, then it finds it and shows the correct Mac Address of the mouse but even clicking any of the buttons on the mouse it still won't actually control the mouse pointer!
    I have another Bluetooth mouse, a Microsoft 5000, which I use with my MacBook Pro so I tried that with the Mac Mini and once paired it works fine, *including* after being turned off, reconnecting within a second of being turned back on.  So I asumed it was something to do with the Logitech mouse rather than the Mac Mini, and contacted Logitech.  As it was a new mouse they suggested it was faulty and I have been sent a new one.  However this one is the same and in one respect actually worse.  Once paired it works fine just like the original, but once it has been switched off, again it will not reconnect when switch on.  But with this one, even closing down the computer and restarting it won't connect the mouse.  The only way with this one is to delete the pairing and set-up a new pairing again.  That means whenever the computer or mouse are turned off, you have to connect a USB mouse so that you can get back in, delete the pairing and set-up a new pairing again, which is unacceptable.
    However, if I boot the Mac Mini into Windows XP using bootcamp the Logitech mouse works as you would expect in all ways *including* reconnecting immediately after being turned on, if it has been turned off.  Also I tried this mouse with a 2006 iBook G4 1.42GHz OS X 10.4.11 and again it functions correctly including reconnecting immediately it is switched back on.  So these last two tests appear to show a fault with the Bluetooth firmware in Mac OS X on the new Mac Mini not a fault with the Logitech mice.  After all, it is using the same Bluetooth and aerial whether in Mac OS X or Windows but it will only reconnect when in Windows.  As a final test I set the MacBook Pro up for Windows 7 using bootcamp and again the mouse will not reconnect in Mac OS X on the MacBook Pro but it reconnects fine in Windows 7 on the same hardware.
    Is there an answer to this problem?  Do you agree it is a firmware/software fault?  Does Apple know about it and are they going to do anything to correct the problem?  Thanks.  Roy

    Yes, I do notice that connection can be lost sometimes and regaining it can be difficult. I have even had to go to the point of finding an old USB mouse to get it going again. I usually try turning off the switch on the mouse and then back on. Then I click it about 5 times or so, usually it picks it up again. Same thing with keyboard. Not sure if that helps at all. Good luck.

  • Audio interrupted when switching camera angles (help request)

    When switching camera angles in FCPX 10.0.3, a clip is split into two and there's a slight break in the audio at that point. I'm using the Angle Viewer, and I've selected video-only switching, but due to the Blade tool there's still a gap in the audio whenever I switch camera angles. For instance, if I switch cameras (by pressing 1 or 2 on the keyboard or clicking the respective camera view) during dialog, the word is interrupted by a glitch or hiccup at that point.
    My setup is two cameras synchronized with external audio. My goal is simply to be able to switch from one camera angle to another while retaining the audio exactly. I wish to make hard cuts (i.e., no cross dissolves or other transitions)—surely this must be the easiest and most common of multicam edits?
    Is there any setting to automatically crossfade adjacent audio clips? The Expand Audio/Video command doesn't allow for separate audio/video editing on multicam clips. Further, the Detach Audio command also doesn't work on multicam clips. Adding cross dissolves only to audio therefore appears to be impossible for multicam editing, at least not without extremely time-consuming surgical editing, which clearly isn't a feasible solution.
    I'd be extremely grateful for any help.

    I think this describes my issue as well. Thank you for your investigation!
    I had the background noise reduction enabled on the angle I was using for the multicam audio. I disabled that, and the volume adjustment I had made to the track, and now the full multicam clip with angle switching appears to be playing without audio interruptions.
    I'm working on a possible work-around: In the Project Timeline, I took all of the "sub-clips" representing each new angle, and created a new compound clip containing all of them. I then applied the noise reduction to the compound clip. This appears to apply the noise reduction to the compound clip as a whole, instead of each individual angle cut, and therefore does not interrupt the audio on an angle cut.
    Write back if it works for you.

  • I loose my Workspace settings when switching

    I loose my Workspace settings when switching. All my keyboard shortcuts get deleted even
    though my different workspaces are able to switch out. I have to go back and assign shortcuts all over again if i select another workspace.
    any suggestions as to why?
    thanks.

    Have You saved the Keyboard Shortcuts before?
    Because if »Keyboard Shortcuts« is clicked in the Save Workspace-dialog the Workspace will include the current Shortcuts-settings and, if invoked in the future, overwrite unsaved Keyboard Shortcut-changes, I think.
    It might be better to not include the Keyboard Shortcuts in the Workspace but to manage them separately if one is prone to change them occasionally.

  • Window order is wrong when switching Spaces

    When I switch from one space to anther using the cntl arrow keyboard shortcut the window order in the new space is invariably messed up. It is just the display of the windows though and not the order that the OS thinks they are in.
    For example if I switch to a space with Mail.app I often get the main Mail viewer window but if I go into the Window menu the email message I was working on is checked in the menu.
    If I switch to a space with two apps the previously frontmost app is no longer displayed as being in front but it is actually still active.
    Anyone know what the solution to this problem is?

    First off, I meant to title this "When switching spaces application window is not showing."
    Just in case anyone else runs into this problem or any other weirdness with switching between spaces, the answer seems to be trashing the com.apple.dock.plist file and then restarting the dock. The preferences file can evidentially get corrupted and create some problems. Spaces does not have it's own plist file but stores it's data in the dock's plist file. Be warned that this will reset all of your dock preferences including which apps you have on the dock.

  • Input source selector does not show when switching the input source

    Hi,
    I'm running OS X Mavericks on my late-2013 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display. I set a key combinations in Keyboard section in System Preferences to "Select the previous input source" and "Select next source in Input menu".
    In my previous MacBook, whenever I use the shortcut to switch my input source, there's a selector (as shown below) appear in the middle of the screen showing what input source I am selecting. Strangely, on this new MacBook, it just doesn't show it.
    I thought that this is a change in Mavericks, but a few days ago, I install Mavericks on my old MacBook and the selector does appear when I am switching the input source using the shortcut. I have search throught all the setting in System Preferences, but there is no option to show or hide the Input source selector when switching the input source. Am I the only one? Am I missing something? Is there any fix?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Music pauses on my iPhone 5C when switching between apps or when receiving alerts/notifications sometimes (not always) and I have to manually restart the song. I'm running the latest 7.0.1 software. It's a bit annoying.

    Music pauses on my iPhone 5C when switching between apps or when receiving alerts/notifications sometimes (not always) and I have to manually restart the song. I'm running the latest 7.0.1 software. It's a bit annoying.

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • I have a new iMac, running Mountain Lion, with CS6. I have the tablet with the keyboard. I'm finding that in CS6 I have to type command-C and command-V repeatedly to copy or paste anything. It is not the keyboard; I've switched that out. What is it?

    I have a new iMac, running Mountain Lion, with CS6. I have the tablet with the keyboard. I'm finding that in CS6 I have to type command-C and command-V repeatedly to copy or paste anything. It is not the keyboard; I've switched that out. Is it some kind of tablet interference?

    Yes, EEK!
    Have you run Microsoft Update and installed the latest 14.2.4 Office update yet?
    Humor me. When you perform copy, do you then establish keyboard focus by clicking the mouse pointer on the destination screen for the paste action -- before keying the paste?
    Have you installed any third-party keystroke mapping software that may be getting between the operating system and these two applications?
    Under System Preferences > Accessibility > Keyboard, have you enabled Sticky, Slow, or EEK! Keys?

  • System reboots when switching users.

    I have looked through the boards and can't find reference to this problem.
    When switching users in Windows XP Pro SP2, from a power user to my admin acct. the sys will reboot after core center loads. The other users are not looged off of XP by way of fast user switching.
    If other users log on while the admin acct. is still active, no problem and I can also log back into the admin acct. w no problem.
    Additionally when logging in to a non-admin acct. the following error messages appear.
    Hadrware Monitor  failed to load Drive 1 .... Invalid  handle
    (Core Center) No hardware Monitor .... Invalid handle
    (VBIOS) FLASH_MMIO_MAP DeviceIOControl Error.
    If the items are not connected please piont me to the proper forum.

    First late me comment on what a great library this forum has. It would seem that most issues are covered and often repeated. Some time may be involved to find a solution, but hard work is it's own reward.
    Looking through the threads I've seen several referencves to doing a clean install after installing a new MOBO. I have not done this yet. So I have prepared a slipstreamed Win XP SP2 CD (as suggested in the threads). Before I continue I have to ask for a few suggestions.  
    First-- I will be removing all attached components and periphials (video,sound and externals) withe the exception of the mouse and keyboard. I will set the bios to boot from the CD. So what I would like to know is if my HD config is acceptable and is there a preferred order to connect other devices after install and all updates?
    The 20 gig HD has been reformatted (NTFS) in 2 partitions, Zdrive is 1500mb for swap/page file(as per forum). This drive wasn't doing anything on my sys anyway. I only used it to try linux and I didn't have the patience to figure it out.
    After all drivers are installed is it possible to use the programs installed on the old drive, or should the be re-installed also. I can save all important data if this must be done (ie. saved games, documents, photos etc.).
    Last this is a shared machine w/teens. I have been through a lot to eliminate and protect my self from adware/ spyware and will continue to do so. I would like to keep the user profiles (Power Users) so that games and other software can be used without needing the admin password. This may be off topic but any suggestions would be helpful.
