Keyboard disabled and search for bluetooth

Hi chaps, a couple of times recently when I've awoken my iMac in the morning the mouse is ok but I get dialogue up saying 'searching for bluetooth keyboard' I cannot get to do much else, the keyboard appears not to work and the simplest solution is to force quit the 'searching for bluetooth keyboard' utility then turn off bluetooth and then the keyboard works ... has anyone any ideas please ? (I've done the normal repairs and run cocktail etc) Best Roger

Yes, sorry I missed that out, I don't have a bluetooth keyboard it's the original wired one - happy christmas ... Roger

    With Safari open use the Command + T keyboard shortcut to open a new tab.
    Or, Command + N to open a new window.

  • HT204368 iPhone continues to search for bluetooth devices even when connected thus affecting battery.

    iPhone 4S continues to search for bluetooth devices even though it is connected to one.
    Can this be stopped to save battery?

    Why do you believe this is true?  If you're looking at the bluetooth settings page, simply opening that page in settings initiates the search. It stops when you close it.
    Like the light in your fridge.

    when i add new contact to my iphone , and search for it i did't find it but it store in my phone and apperars when called me or i write the no

    In the Contacts app, select "Groups" in the upper left hand corner.
    Then select all the groups that are desired to be displayed.
    Select Done.
    Now search for the contact(s) in question.  Do they appear now?

    Hi - how do  I download items already purchased?  I have tried store and search for available downloads but it tells me they are already downloaded - they are not however - fyi I lost my phone so I am using a new phone with the same apple id and assumed I could just re-access my previously purcahsed items - how do I find them to download?
    Many thanks

    many thanks for a really fast response - Yes I have seen on other postings since you only get one hit and you are right I should have backed up and didn't as I am a bit of a novice and naive (but learning fast now).  Have used your suggestion and accessed and downloaded some historical apps.
    many thanks - I will ensure I back up regularly going forward. 
    Thanks again

  • IPad 3 keeps rebooting and searching for network

  • My ipad has been disabled and off for a year and it doesnt want to turn on is there any way i can restart or turn on?

    My ipad has been disabled and off for almost a year already i want to restart my ipad but doesnt want to charge is there any way i can make my ipad turn on or restart i alreaady tried charging it for acouple hours and clicking the middle and top button at the same time but it still doesnt work.... is there any other way to restart my ipad?

    You don't just click the home and sleep button, you have to hold them down for at least 10 seconds while it is connected to the charger. If it comes awake (and it could take several tries) ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo and then let go of the buttons.
    But that may not work. Polymer Ion batteries need exercise, a full power cycle is recommended once a month. Your battery may be dead.

  • Search For Bluetooth Devices

    I dont know how to search for bluetooth devices on nokia e65. Need to set up a handsfree car kit with it. Where do i go on the phone to search for bluetooth devices??

    Hi lindi9
    Select Menu > Connect > Bluetooth.
    1. When you activate Bluetooth for the first time, you are asked to give a name to your device. Give your device a unique name to make it easy to recognize if there are several Bluetooth devices in the vicinity.
    2. Select Bluetooth > On.
    3. Select My phone's visibility > Shown to all.

  • IPhone4s searching for bluetooth even though it's connected.

    I bought a Motorola H720. I have the iPhone4s. My phone recognizes and pairs with the device, but, when I go to bluetooth and turn it on, the phone acts like it is searching for the device even though it is connected. My question is, if I leave that screen and go back to the home screen does it stop searching?

    Yes it, it stops searching.
    It is working exactly as it should.

  • DROID 3 KEYBOARD TYPES AND ERASES FOR NO REASON

    I have had my Droid 3 for about 3 weeks now. Bought 2 of them. One for me and one for my daughter. Our physical keyboards like to run-on and repeat letters or numbers or symbols without stopping. And even worse is that if you realize you made a mistake on one letter, when you hit the delete button to erase it, it will erase EVERYTHING you just wrote. My daughters FIX is to not use the physical keyboard...Well that was my whole reason for buying the phone so that does me no good!  
    I had a whole entire grocery list wiped out in the store the other day because I didnt notice that the delete key kept on running after i tried to delete ONE thing from my list. On other forums I have seen people call this phantom keyboarding, but I have not found any answers or updates to this problem. Tried to get help from Verizon and they sent me a USED phone to replace my FULL-PRICE,  PAID FOR, NEW PHONE! Un-believable. And they act like they dont know what Im talking about. I dont see how they dont know what Im talking about especially since i have read about 25 other complaints about the same thing on other droid forums. And now as i research even more I see that people were having this problem with the Droid 2 and yet Verizon still chose to take on a Droid 3 with the SAME problem. Well I will be sending them back their USED phone with the nicks and scratches it came with and hopefully one of you out there is a cell phone genius that can help me out with a solution to fix this, as it seems as though Verizon and Motorola isnt even trying to come up with an update or fix since the Droid 2. 
    If you have a solution, please share it here and with others in the other Droid forums so that we all can help each other out. 
    Thanks to all, and God Bless

    Yes Tidbits, I thought I may have been hitting something as well to make that happen. But trust me, if this is happeneing to you then you should send it in because it may NOT be your fingers, it may very well be the phone. Shift is supposed to give you capital letters and if you hit it twice its suppose to lock you into capital letters, NOT give you repeated run-on letters like this " thankkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk". No Shift I know does this. Nor is shift supposed to erase your entire message just because you hit backspace ONCE. You may wanna check in to that. Thats all im saying.
    Yes SHIFTLOCK + Backspace is supposed to erase everything you write.  It's Android specific on hardware keyboards.  ALL Android devices I have owned with a hardware keyboad does this.
    The repeated letters I do not get at all.  So I believe it's specifically your device or an app you installed that is causing the problem.  If you did a full wipe make sure you don't use the backup feature with Google.  You will put back whatever is causing the issue.  This is WHY some people end up having to return 2+ devices and they tend to assume it's the devices all the time when thousands of people don't have the problem.  There's other factors involved, but so far this isn't mentioned on Motorola Droid 3 offical forums so it leaves me to believe it's something about your device settings and/or your apps installed.  If you already done a return then it's more than likely you cached the bug and when you restore the backup it puts it on your new device.  Before you sign into Google you need to disable the restore(default on).

  • On iOS 8.3 there is no keyboard shown when searching for contacts on Contacts tab

    I've updated my iPhone 5C to 8.3 and now I can't use the keyboard when searching for a contact from the Phone app. Using the Contacts app the keyboards works well. No 3rd party keyboards were installed. Anybody else having this issue?
    Cheers,

    Okay, several reboots solved the problem

  • Help!! I recently erased my settings and after backing up via iCloud, I cannot open some apps. They look as if they are updating, but I cannot delete them. I can open them if I go through the app store and search for the app and click "open." what do I do

    I can't seem to figure out why I can't delete and redownload my apps. I'm very confused. I've tried turning my phone on and off, and doing a soft reset.

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!
