Lion won't recognize my mouse as a Magic Mouse

I have just completely reinstalled Snow Leopard from scratch and upgraded to Lion as well.
I have come to pairing my wireless keyboard and mouse. Both pair automatically but Lion doesn't recognize my mouse as a Magic Mouse so none of the Magic Mouse features (such as scrolling) work. Under System Preferences I do not see all the usual options under Mouse either.
I have tried deleting the mouse in Devices and re-adding it but it never recognizes it as Magic Mouse.

Solved!
Lion was automatically adding my Magic Mouse as opposed to be selecting it from the list of found devices when setting up a new Bluetooth device. I waited to select it from the listof devices and it now works. I hope this helps some others'.

Won't recognize my mouse and keyboard

I added a new cpu switch to the mix and now openwindows won't work because it won't recognize the mouse or keyboard. Has anyone else had problems with these new mouse and keyboard emulating switches?

HCL Problem. check mouse/keyboard manuals or webpages for details.

Moutain lion won't recognize my bose companion 2 speakers, any solutions?

Just upgraded to a new mac mini 17 running moutain lion. Unfortunately the system won't recognize my Bose companion 2 speakers. I really would hate to have to get new speakers. These sound great, Is there any solutions? If not what computer speakers are compatible with mountain lion? Thanks.

If it is the speakers can you recommend a good but not overly expensive speaker set that you know are compatible with mountain lion. I have been reading a lot of online blogs on the subject and it seems I'm not the only one having an audio compatability issue with mountain lion. Though it could be the speaker brand too. Apparently Bose is not too compatible with mountain lion, at least it seems to be the brand that is having issues according to online bloggers.
Thanks much appreciated.

Latest update: Won't recognize USB mouse

I was prompted to install and restart for the security update this morning and when my computer came to, it would no longer recognize my mouse. What can I do to make it work again?
Computer: First gen dual-core intel Mac Pro
Mouse: Logitech M500
Things I've tried:
Plugging it into different USB ports - The mouse is not recognized in any of them.
Installing the latest Logitech software - Since the computer is not "seeing" the mouse, neither is the Logitech sw.
Using another mouse - This works! But it's a crappy mouse and I want my good one back!

I'm sure you were as frustrated as i was, here is the solution after online chat with hp:
the problem is probably static power, here are the steps:
1. Unplug the Power Cord from Wall jack and as well as Notebook.
2. Take Out the Battery from the Notebook.
3. Hold the Power Button for 30 seconds.
*Plug in the Power Cord without Battery.
* Turn On the Notebook without Battery
4. If the Notebook is working properly then Turn Off the Notebook.
5. Unplug the Power Cord again.
6. Put On the Battery into the Notebook and then plug in.
this worked for me!

I've updated my scanner driver but Lion won't recognize it and activate the scanner app

I've updated the scanner driver to Lion 10.7.1 but the scanner app cannot be opened.

Just to check - do you mean you've updated Lion to 10.7.1? (10.7.5 is the current version and ought to be the version you have installed so that you're up-to-date with bug fixes/security updates, etc.)
Is the problem that since updating the OS Lion won't recognise your scanner?
Does Image Capture in the Applications folder recognise the scanner?

Lion will not recognize keyboard/mouse from sleep mode

I recently installed Lion onto my relatively new (1 year) iMac. Works fine, but when left unattended and it goes into sleep mode, the computer will not recognize the keyboard or mouse and I can't do anything but reboot the whole thing.
Any suggestions? Thought I'd try this before calling Apple Support.
thanks

With Lion, a mouse move will not wake, only a mouse click, or keyboard (i.e. hitting the spacbar).
This does not appear to be your problem. I would try an SMC Reset and a PRAM Reset

Migration Assistant in Lion won't recognize Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard

I just got an iMac with Lion. I am trying to use the Migration Assistant to move my files/apps etc from a Time Machine backup to the new computer. The MA will not recognize the backup drive - (external firewire 800). I can see the backup drive on my desktop but it does not show up as an option to choose in the Migration Assistant. Any idea what might be wrong. The backup is from an iMac running Snow Leopard and all the system software was last updated on Dec 9th. It think it is as current as I could get with Snow Leopard. Any ideas what is wrong?
Thanks,
Chad

This happened to me after hard drive replacement under the Seagate Drive Recall at the local Apple Store. Here's what I learned from the process:
I Wagged the Mac home, fired it up (with naked OS installed at the Apple Store), and it wouldn't see my Time Machine drive with Setup Assistant - not on firewire 800 nor USB. Just a grey spinner that lasts forever. When I try just continuing anyway, it offers me something that looks plausible, but then puts up a dialog about duplicate user name, and no matter what I enter, it always says "that user already exists". So I think - maybe Migration Assistant. Complete the setup, create an account, watch the nice welcome movie. BAM - there's my Time Machine drive on the desktop. OK - it has to work . . . but no. Same behavior in Migration Assistant, plus the new OS offers to start making backups on my Time Machine disk - it's not recognizing it at all.
So - back to the Apple Store - let the genius figure it out. It turns out there are multiple problems. First, the "genius" who imaged my new machine picked 10.7.2 but my machine had 10.7.5 - turns out, it's not enough just to have right cat. Even a point release older OS may not recognize a newer Time Machine drive. The guy at the desk said "We have images of everything but the 10.7.2 has free iLife in it, so they like to use that one". What the heck? They don't image what you had originally as a matter of sane process?
Having figured that out, we re-image 10.7.5 at the store thinking we've fixed it. But no - Setup Assistant still won't see the Time Machine drive. Not on USB, not on Firewire. Not in a box, not with a fox.
So here's the second trick - newer machines have a recovery partion. see: http://www.apple.com/osx/recovery/ Boot with the option key held down, pick that partition, then you'll get a "system restore" option, to restore your whole system from a Time Machine backup. My drive was recognized by the recovery partition restore process when neither Setup nor Migration Assistant would. Obviously, there's something broken in Setup/Migration Assistant.
Takeaway:
- if you're getting a drive replaced by Apple, make sure they image *exactly* the same OS
- if Setup Assistant fails, use the recovery partition for system restore
- Use Recovery Disk Assistant http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1433 NOW to make yourself a recovery thumb drive just in case. With Apple's new "no media" approach to the OS, you're hosed without it.

Pavillion won't recognize USB mouse

HP Pavillion tx2120us purchase June 2008, Vista OS. Works fine but will not recognize any mice! Here are the steps I have tried and even online chat could not help:
1: Tried 4 different mice. All worked on my PC...but not on the laptop. All plug and play. It is NOT I repeat not the mouse.
2: All USB ports work for other deviices such as wireless USB modem; Media card reader.
3: Updated BIOS. Did not help.
4: Uninstalled drivers for all USBs...and reinstalled. Did not help.
5: Enabled then Disabled Quicklaunch buttons in startup...did not help (that was Chat's idea.... they were already disable by me prior to this).
6: Disabled intelletactics pointing device on startup...still did not help.
7: when I do plug in the usb mice, there is a little Micrisoft "ding" that indicates it knows something is happeneing...but there is not "windows detected" message or anything. Moving the mouse does nothing.
Now they want me to actually send this in! HELP! I may not get this back for WEEKS. I really prefer an exterana mouse tho and working without one is agonizing. PLEASE if anyone has encountered this probpem before let me know. It is JUST with mice no other USB devices. And all types of mice that work on my other computers. I have sense it may have something to do with defaulting always to the touchpad OR there is also a pen device to use with the ttouchpad screen....however I don't know what else to do and would appreciate any help...!!

Macbook Pro (Lion) won't recognize Ethernet cable

Hi
I'm using a Macbook Pro (15 inch, Early 2011, Built-in OS X Lion 10.7.5)
Normally I connect over Wi-Fi and I have no problem. I used to connect via Ethernet (Cat6 cable) sometimes when I was at work and I had no problem back then ( I didn't have to change any settings).
Recently I had to connect via Ethernet in a facility that used old networking systems and I had to adjust all the proxies and IP settings manually. I had serious problems connecting with LAN eventhough all the settings and proxies were set correctly and other computers on windows were able to connect easily. I even tried to connect by restarting to Windowns 7 in bootcamp but it didn't help. The cable was a cat4 I think and after a while I noticed that in System Preferences>Network>Ethernet the cable in continuously getting connected and disconnected ( Green & Red). The IT-man there couldn't give me any advice beyond that my Network adaptor has problems or cat4 is responsible. After a while I found out if I set the configuration to Manually and set the speed in Ethernet>Advanced>Hardware>Speed to 10baseT/UTP I'll get rid of the disconnecting problem and the connection works without problem.
When I got back from that center to my original workplace I set all the settings to the original automatic setting and connected the Ethernet cable (Cat6) and at first the cable was detected (Green) but the IP address was wrong and I couldn't connect to internet. I disconnected/connected the cable 2 or 3 times and after that the Ethernet was not even connecting or detecting the cable and I had the message "Cable Unplugged". The IT team at the center couldn't help me either and the problem remained even in Windows 7 over Bootcamp.
I came to home and tried to connect with a 5e Ethernet cable to my Linksys router ( that I normally connect via Wi-Fi). But the same problem: Cable unplugged. While my brother was able to connect with the same cable with a Windows 7 based VAIO.
I tried to connect with the Ethernet cable to my brother's laptop and it gets connected and obtains an IP Address.
I tried to change the speed and duplex setting to 1000base, 100base, 10base and half and full but neither of these helped and still I get the message "Cable Unplugged" when trying to connect to router.
In system information I don't see a problem with Ethernet card and the information is as follows:
Name:          ethernet
Type:          Ethernet Controller
Bus:          PCI
Vendor ID:          0x14e4
Device ID:          0x16b4
Subsystem Vendor ID:          0x14e4
Subsystem ID:          0x16b4
Revision ID:          0x0010
Link Width:          x1
BSD name:          en0
Kext name:          AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext
Firmware version:          57765-v1.37, 0x7287af41
Location:          /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleB CM5701Ethernet.kext
mDNS offload capable:          3c:07:54:07:d0:d4
Version:          3.2.4b8
So I'm having the problem in different settings, with different routers and in both Mac and Winsows. I have done restarts, shutsowns, PRAM SMC resets and none helped ( neither for the ethernet problem and nor for volume and sleep problems I'm experiencing) so I'm considering reinstalling my OS X Lion. But I'm afraid it is a hardware issue because power fluctuations or something.
I appreciate any suggestion.
PS:
1.My MBP has experienced a falling down but I had no specific problem that I can relate to the strike. Also I had no problems with Ethernet after that.
2.I have a faulty Magsafe adaptor that has a corroded cable but it keeps charging and I'm waiting for my new Magsafe adaptor.
3.Newly I have a weak maximum volume on my Mac and volume fluctuations, also some weird sleep behaviours and delays in sleep.

MacPro (mid 2012) won't recognize keyboard/mouse on startup

For the past month my magic mouse has repeatedly quit working. Fussing will get it back up and running, sometimes by shutting down. Today when booting up, I get the splash screen but neither magic mouse or bluetooth Logitech keyboard are recognized so I can't log-on. Have tried both on my laptop and they are both seen and work fine. I need help. Thanks.

You are most welcome

I have a I Mac 6 years old. We downloaded leopard and now the computer won't recognize the mouse or keyboard. What do we do?

I have a 6 year old I Mac. Last night we tried to download leopard and now it doesn't detect the mouse or keyboard. Then, the whole thing wouldn't reboot! Help!

Download means to install off the internet or a computer server. Leopard 10.5, and Snow Leopard 10.6 are only available on CD. A 6 year old iMac should be able to install 10.5 from CD, if the following requirements are met:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2275
And if these are met, 10.6, Snow Leopard can install on them:

Are you sure you meant download, and you meant Leopard?

Imac core2 duo mountain lion won't recognize D key for diagnostics

I've tried everything I can thnk of to get my mac to boot diagnostics. Is there any way to get a diagnostic only bootable media? Wired or wireless keyboards make no difference. Nor does booting with the option key, selecting the CD, and pressing the D key before going on.

Tommy197944 - i have tried all 4 USB ports as well as different USB cables. I took the drive to the Apple Store where they tried it on several different systems. iMAC running OS X 10.8.5; MACbook Pro running OS X Lion and a MACbook Pro running OS X 10.8.5. Both MACbook Pros mounted the drive but the iMAC failed to mount the drive. I remember a blog response saying swapping the OS X Mountain Lion's DVDPlayback.Framework file for OS X Lion's DVDPlayback.Framework might solve the issue.
It is perplexing that the exact same Samsung DVD Writer, model SE-208DC/TSWS mounts on MACbook Pro running the latest version of Mountain Lion (10.8.5). That MACbook Pro also had an internal DVD Writer. The Samsung DVD Writer was also tested on a MACbook Pro running Lion and it also mounted correctly. So what did Apple change in OS X Mountain Lion that would prevent the iMAC from mounting the external Samsung DVD Writer. The Samsung DVD Writer has no drivers for the MAC. It depends on the OS X files. I am trying to keep a positive attitude and hoping Apple did not change OS X Mountain Lion to prevent 3rd party external DVD Writers from mounting correctly with the new IMACs that no longer can be configured with an internal DVD Writer.
Most grateful for some proven solutions.

My old Mac died. I bought a new MacBookAir. Now I can't open my PSD's, JPEG's, that I designed in an ancient version of CS. The 'old Mac' was running Tiger, the new MacBookAir operates with Lion. Lion won't recognize the PowerPC apps. What do I do?

So...can I have Tiger and Lion running on the same MacBookAir?

No. You'll need to upgrade Adobe CS. If you don't really need the professional features you might find the Photoshop Elements fits the bill.

Lion won't recognize my external HDD!

Yesterday I did an upgrade to OSX Lion, however the system isn't recognizing my external 1TB hard drive, it doesn't appears on my desktop when I connect it. This is weird cause, actually, I can find the HDD with DiskUtility, but I'm unable to mount it.
Is anyone having the same issue? Solutions, ideas? Help!

Ok, finally made it to the real deal. Here's how I solved the problem.
1. I uninstalled every NTFS driver that I had on my Mac.
2. I restarted.
3. I deleted the file on this route: /System/Library/filesystems/ufsd.fs
(I did a backup of the file, just in case)
4. I reinstalled a NTFS driver, (I used Paragon NTFS for Mac v.9.0)
5. Restart again.
6. You're done. You should be able to mount your external NTFS drive.
Big thanks to Nic Pel and Humbertog for their help

Lion won't recognize external hard drive

After installing Lion, my external hard drives don't show up on the desktop. I can find them in Disk Utility but nowhere else. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I have had the same problem with my MacBook since I upgraded to 10.7.3. Did what you suggested, here's what I got:
2012-03-11 13:56:38.074 defaults[6427:303]
The domain/default pair of (/Users/jean/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist, ShowExternalHardDrivesOnDesktop) does not exist
[Macintosh-3:~] jean%
My LaCie drive is plugged in and running.
I've also found that digital cameras only show as connected to the MacBook via Image Capture.
I did run Disk Utility and got this:
Verifying volume “LaCie Rugged”
Checking file systemInvalid content in journal
Journal need to be replayed but volume is read-only
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.

Volume repair complete.Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
Not sure how to back up this drive. Wondering if I can just repartition, or if this will even make a difference. This same drive worked on the same MacBook a few hours before I installed Lion.
