Keyboard looses connection says batteries low but just replace

Hi new iMac 21inch with wireless keyboard. Just started to loose connection wireless trackpad working fine. Comes up with low battery warning even though batteries replaced. Then cycles through connection and disconnection constantly. Happened after 10.6.8 upgrade.

Hello Nick:
I seriously doubt that the update to OS X 10.6.8 is the cause of the problem.
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.
If that does not help, I would return the KB for a warranty replacement.

Having issues when try to burn a disc., which I never had an issue doing. Yesterday when I tried to burn a playlist it says "checking media" but just sits there. I know drive is working because I can put in a purchased cd and can import it into my library, but now it just sits there and hums until I maually eject the disc.Before all this started it said something about that I should "calibrate disc", since then it won't let me do any burning. I can't find any options in " preferences to change anything except the burn speed. Any suggestions? Tried rebooting, tried using my wifes iTunes on same comptuer.

Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:

I tried connecting my Ipod Touch 5th generation to the internet via ad-hoc from my windows 7 laptop. My iPod was connected to the internet but just in a moment. Then it disconnects. would someone help me?

I tried connecting my Ipod Touch 5th generation to the internet via ad-hoc from my windows 7 laptop. My iPod was connected to the internet but just in a moment. Then it disconnects. I tried so many other option such as creating another ad-hoc from other laptop but still the same result. Is there something wrong with my iPod? this is so frustrating. I've been using ipod touch 4th gen before I got the 5th and connecting to the internet via ad-hoc was never a problem for me. Would someone help me?

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

HT1476 Iphone 5 says its charging but just stays at 2%.

When i plug in the Iphone 5 to the wall and my computer it says its charging but its stays at 2%. When i plugged it in at night it was at 2% and when i woke up it said it was charging but still at 2%. Ive tried charging it with my mac but still says its charging and is still at 2%. Can someone please tell me how to fix the issue. My phone has always charged normally and now it wont. Ive tried different cords too.

I understand that, but this doesn't answer my question.
If the battery is actually at 2%, the iPhone would power off with a depleted battery fairly quickly.
How quickly does the iPhone power off with a depleted battery after the iPhone is disconnected from a power source?
Any change after powering the iPhone off and on, a reset which is similar to a computer restart, or after restoring the iPhone with iTunes?
If no change after the latter, the iPhone has a hardware problem. The iPhone includes a one year warranty.

My ipod no longer downloads new songs purchased. it says it synced but just displays picture of a connector and says "connected"

my ipod no longer downloads newly purchased songs. when connected it says it is synced on Itunes but displays a cable and the word "connected" eject before disconnecting on the ipod screen. Any idea's as to what the problem is?

Hello there darnau,
I have a couple things to recommend here. First if you have not already, turn off the iPod Nano, and turn it back on, then try again. From iPod nano (6th generation): Software update version 1.1 changes found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4531.
Turning iPod nano off completely and turning it on again
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button for several seconds to turn iPod nano off completely.
Note: If the iPod nano (6th generation) is showing that it's charging or attached to a powered accessory or cable, you cannot turn off the iPod until you detach the accessory or cable from the device.
Possibly even restore the iPod Nano Restoring iPod to factory settings http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
Regards,
Sterling

Wireless Keyboard Looses Connection

I have a new Mac Mini with a wireless keyboard and wireless mighty mouse. During use the mighty mouse is fine, but the keyboard seems to loose the bluetooth connection over time, always about the same amount of time. I realize this is probably a power saving mode due to inactivity. If I turn off the keyboard and turn it back on, the Mini finds it and its fine. Is there any way I can set it to just always leave the keyboard on and connected? I wouldn't mind less battery life, it's just annoying to keep having to reconnect it.

I didn't install the included cd since the Mini found the keyboard automatically. Installing this disc solved the problem.

Apple bluetooth keyboard loose connection

when ever my imac goes to sleep it looses the bluetooth connection with my wireless keyboard (old white style).
As i have password protect set up on the sleep mode this loss of connection is rendering the imac unusable as i can't log into the imac.
The only way i can get the connection back is by forcing a restart on the imac.
Has anyone else experienced this problem or could offer any advice how to remedy this problem?
Regards
Owb

I've just started to experience this strange problem myself.
My mouse will wake up my 24" iMac Aluminium just fine, but if
it has been running in screen saver for a long time, like overnight,
then the keyboard will fail to register with the computer. I'm stuck
with just the mouse so I have to turn the machine off (bad stuff).
I'm running 10.5.1 with the latest software updates. I have the new
wireless bluetooth keyboard (small) and bluetooth mighty mouse.
I really hope there is an answer to this problem!
Thanks,
Mike

TS3048 wifi keyboard loosing connection

I have just updated to yosmite on my Mac and now my wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting randomly.
Battery are at 100%. its bloody frustrating

Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.
By the by, the KB is called Bluetooth, not wifi. No big deal, just minor terminology.

HT1386 Trying to such iTunes from my iPad to new iPhone? Instructions are to connect to computer? But just trying to get from iPad to iphone

How do you sync iTunes from iPad to,iPhone5?

You don't.
You sync each devie to your computer not to each other.
All of your music should be on your computer. If it is not, then put it there.
You can then sync it to whatever idevice you like.

Wireless Keyboard Randomly looses connection

Since the last MACOSX update (10.5.4) my aluminium wireless keyboard looses connection randomly (every 3 to 5 minutes). Batteries are charged. Has somebody made same experiences? I never had this before.
Thanks
Bernd

I've intermittently experienced this issue as well, in the past, where the the keyboard would keep disconnecting and reconnecting with the computer. Sometimes when it would disconnect, the wireless mouse would start blinking out as well -- i.e., the onscreen cursor/pointer tracking would become choppy and slow, and I would have to turn the mouse off and then back on to restore normal functionality. Ad infinitum ad nauseam.
If memory serves, someone observed elsewhere in this forum that the issue is not, in fact, a malfunction with Bluetooth, but rather overzealous power management algorithms in the keyboard itself (i.e., "It's not a bug, it's a feature!") -- something to do with how the hardware determines the current level of battery charge (as depicted in System Preferences --> Keyboard & Mouse --> Bluetooth).
Now, this may not work for you, and I'm not entirely sure why it worked for me, but around the time I was experiencing this behavior, I had regular alkaline batteries in my keyboard but nickel-metal hydride (i.e., rechargeable) batteries in my mouse. Once I swapped out the (otherwise perfectly good) regular batteries in the keyboard for the same brand of rechargeable batteries as in my mouse, the connection issues ceased immediately and -- knock on wood -- they have not recurred.
So while I'm not a hundred percent sure my exact solution will work for everyone, I suspect fiddling around with your battery configuration might be a step in the right direction, troubleshooting-wise.

TS3048 My keyboard will connect wirelessly but my mouse will not. I've put new batteries in the mouse and the green light is blinking but it just won't connect!!! I don't have a 'wired' mouse so I can't get into preferences etc!!! Pls help

My keyboard will connect wirelessly but my mouse will not. I have tried many times, put new batteries in etc. The Bluetooth appears to be on (as the wireless keyboard is working). I don't have a 'wired' mouse so I can't get into preferences etc. Is the mouse dead perhaps? The green light is flickering so it should be ok???
Thank you for your help

From what you say I would suggest the batteries are not connecting properly.
First, thoroughly clean all contacts, both inside the mouse and the contact points of the batteries. Use an alcohol based cleaner (whisky will do, hic!) dampen (not wet) cotton buds for cleaning.
Then check to see if they fit firmly. If you can shake your mouse and hear things are loose, that will be the batteries. Check the make. Apple and Duracell, in that order, are the best batteries. Where slight undersizing has been reported they are with other than the foregoing.
You can resolve the size problem with appropriate packing but that will always be a makeshift solution. After, reassemble, turn on the mouse and with luck, away you go.
Hopefully this will solve your problem but in any case let us know how you get on.

Hi, I’ve recently bought an iPad2 and can’t get connected with AppStore or iTunes, when I tap on these icons a grey page pops up saying is loading but never opens the page, no failure message is displayed, it just keep saying is loading.
Apparently it is not an issue with wifi since Safari, You Tube and Maps work well, I’ve tried some of the tips, e.g. log off/on my Id, change password but no one worked.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Luis.

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

Typically this indicates a device that has been hacked to be unlocked or jailbroken.
If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
