If two Bluetooth dongles won't work, and making sure the software is up to date won't work, then the device you are trying to use with the dongle may be the one that is faulty. However if that works with another computer, it may be that it doesn't fully conform to the Bluetooth specs that are used on Apple's machines. Check to make sure the headset has fully charged batteries.

Will my wireless mouse and keyboard(pc...Logitech) work with my MacBook Pro

I'm wondering weather or not my pc mouse and keyboard( wireless....Logitech) will work happily with my new MacBook ? Never had a mac before so this may be the first if many dumb questions

They will ... I know from experience.
But also be warned that those devices operate at 2.4 GHz usually, and will fight a 2.4 GHz wirless network signal. Sometinhg will lose and will behave erratically.
Having a 5 GHz network available is a very good idea.

Problems with Apple Wireless Mouse and Keyboard

Last week my keyboard started repeating letters and not responding and the mouse started acting like an old mouse with a dirty trackball. I searched many message boards and got no help for my specific problem. I'm on a PowerPC G5 running OS 10.3.9.
Batteries are good. I have run both a hardware test and disk utility with no problems found. The problem seems to have shown up after an apple software update. Don't know if that could have caused some sort of system incompatibility problem.
Since both mouse and keyboard work with my powerbook, I don't know what else to do. I have re-paired both mouse and keyboard and had some problems with them showing up. I also have shut down the system, unpluged everything and started up again but nothing has worked.
If anyone has an answer I would be really greatful. Please help. thanks

Hi again,
No, I had not even thought of that. I just unplugged it and plugged it back in and the problem may be fixed!!!!!
Since the problem is intermittent, I'm not sure yet. The worst trouble I've been having has been in trying to drag things across the screen and I have just been able to do that with several windows.
Yeah!!! I think you may have done it. I will keep this thread open for a while but I think that was it. You my friend are a genius! I'm a bit embarassed to have not thought of that. I didn't even remember that that antenna existed.
thanks sooooooo much.

Apple TV, monitor use and lag time with mouse and keyboard

I purchased an Apple TV so that I could use one monitor to switch between my Mac Mini and my MacbookPro. The monitor is hardwired to the Mini, but the MacbookPro uses airplay. My wireless mouse and keyboard lag with this setup. Is there a way to fix this?

My contacts in Pyongyang and Interlaken tell me you have fallen in the abyss that "The Great Successor,” Kim Jong-un refers to when he goes to DisneyWorld. One is either ‘right’ or ‘wrong,’ never ‘helpful.’ However due to your Stalinist screen name, you’ve been awarded some slack.
I didn’t see a reference to even a clue on the Apple TV site regarding my traumatic technological problem. I’ll be contacting the Grack Granny Smythe force at Apple’s underground facility at La Junta, CO.
There will be a one way, non-stop, sleeper class Lockheed SR-71 waiting for you at Nantucket International if Tech Support for Apple TV denies that Apple TV exists any longer.

Pairing mouse and keyboard

Unable to get my mouse and keyboard (wireless) to connect to the Mac. How do I make that connect happen.

I assume you've checked the obvious - good batteries the right way round and both devices turned on before booting.
If you have a wired keyboard and mouse have a look in System Preferences>Bluetooth and make sure 'on' and 'discoverable' are ticked. You may also want to tick 'Show bluetooth in the menu bar.
Also click on the Advanced button and make sure you have ticks against the first three tick boxes.
You might need to restart, making sure the keyboard and mouse are on and hopefully you'll be able to pair them with the Mac.

In Flashplayer, I can crossover mouse and keyboard events. In IrfanView I cannot. Can this be fixed?

My client uses IrfanView to play SWF files. Unfortunately, he does not use Flashplayer. In Flashplayer, I can crossover mouse and keyboard events with no problem. In IrfanView, the second I click a button, the keyboard events are disabled. Is there a fix?

Hi Ned. I may have posted this issue a bit early, but this problem is also happening in Flashplayer 10. It's not exclusive to IrfanView.
Here is something that I encountered during my testing, when I jump to scene 6 using the menu button, I have a play button to jump from one frame to the next frame that stops -- the keyboard events start working. But if all I am doing is jumping scene to scene with the mouse button, the keyboard events are disabled.
I feel as if the keyboard events only work if I am playing frames in the scene. And if all I am doing is jumping scene to scene using the buttons, the keys will disable.
I set up the mouse buttons inside a movieclip that all the scenes share. The mouse actionscript is in the movieclip. On the main timeline of each scene is an actionscript for the keyboard events, even though I had to change each function name.
I feel the actionscript is setup pretty simple. I just wish clicking the buttons would not disable the keyboard events. This may sound redundant, but the keyboard events do the same thing if you use the mouse buttons. It's just preference for the client even though he will need to understand that using the mouse buttons override the keyboard events. He doesn't really lose functionality.
Keyboard actionscripting below:
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyEvent);
function onKeyEvent(e:KeyboardEvent):void {
var character:String=String.fromCharCode(e.charCode);
if (e.keyCode==72) {
gotoAndStop(1,"master");
if (e.charCode==49) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"Distributor");
if (e.charCode==50) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"Mirka");
if (e.charCode==51) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"Farm");
if (e.charCode==52) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"Check2");
if (e.charCode==53) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"Check3");
if (e.charCode==54) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"Scene2");
if (e.charCode==55) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"Scene1");

How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

Problems with bluetooth connection to wireless mouse and keyboard

I am using a mac book (aluminium) with 10.6.4 with a Cinema Display and a wireless keyboard and mouse. My time capsule is located only 1 meter away from the mac book and every time the automatic sync starts my mouse and keyboard do not repsond anymore. It seems that the bluetooth connection is somehow heavily loaded due to the network traffic. I have updated all devices and restarted the computer several times. It always keeps on doing that. Any help?

what you are seeing is called _*wireless interference*_.
change the channel your TC broadcasts on.

Lost bluetooth pairing with mouse and keyboard

Less than 100 days out of the box, my iMac has lost the connection to both the keyboard and the mouse.
As of this afternoon, both devices have brand new batteries. When I turn them on, the light stays steady for a few seconds, then blinks, then goes off.
Bluetooth is turned ON.
"Discoverable" is checked.
I removed both devices from the list, thinking maybe they needed to be reinstalled. I am able to locate them, but keep getting messages like these:
"The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. This configuration of Mac OS X and Bluetooth software could be invalid or unsupported."
"The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. Make sure your device is in range of this computer, turned on, and discoverable.
On a couple of attempts with the keyboard, I've gotten a message providing an 8-digit passcode which I'm supposed to input, but typing it on the keyboard doesn't do anything. I've tried adjusting that setting to not require a passcode, but that makes no difference.
(Funny, when I Craigslisted my old computer I had a hunch I'd better hang onto the mouse and keyboard; good thing I did, or I'd be completely out of commission at the moment.)

Thanks. I just re-set the PRAM and then tried reconnecting both devices as suggested. I'm still getting nothing. Both devices are now showing up under the bluetooth menu, but I can't connect to them ... not from that menu, not from Bluetooth preferences, and not from the keyboard/mouse preferences. And they're definitely turned on, with brand new batteries, and all within two feet of the computer.
Speaking of bluetooth preferences, could I have knocked them out of whack somehow? I see File Sharing Settings and Advanced Settings; what should actually be checked in them in order for this to work? Looks like I have System Preferences Version 7.0, running with OS 10.6.2. Under "Serial ports" I have only "Bluetooth-PDA-Sync" listed, Type RS-232, and that's checked on. There's another checkbox underneath what looks like a key icon, and that is NOT checked.

Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard with Bootcamp and Win XP Pro 32-bit

Does the Apple Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard work with Boot Camp running Windows XP Pro (32-Bit)... I read something leading me to believe there maybe a problem and you need to use a wired USB mouse/Keyboard.
Is this true?

Apple Wireless Keyboard is able to work in Boot Camp via Window XP Pro, it's good enough.
but the Magic Mouse, it's not able to work completely in Window XP Pro,
it's just work like a normal bluetooth wireless mouse,
all the Multi-Touch features like scroll, rotate, swipe, pinch and tap click are not gonna work,
even you are configure via the snow leopard, so please be reconsider.

Apple Wireless mouse and keyboard with Windows on iMac Intel

Hi there!
Is it possible to use the Apple Wireless mouse and keyboard on the iMac Intel running Windows XP?
My bluetooth setup assistant can't find any of them.
Thanks!

Actually if You Use the wireless mouse during the setup for windows it works fine the only drawback it that using the wireless mouse on windows is that it drains the battery more quickly than Mac OS X does. So make sure you have extra batteries around
