Magic Mouse not working after USB mouse installed

Hello,
I have been using my Magic Mouse for years then last week I inserted a USB mouse. Once I'd finished using the USB mouse I removed it and tried to use the Magic Mouse but it simply didn't work. Now - this is the odd bit. The mouse is connected and shows the batteries at 100% and the cursur moves around the screen, however, when I click (left or right) nothing happens. Oddly enough, the two finger swipe works fine.
Any ideas???

Hello DeeDub1978,
I'm having a little trouble working out which mouse does or doesn't do what, so can we start again.   It is possible there is no link between the faults on the two mice.
1.     First, to check your USB mouse.   Does it have a nice healthy light when it is plugged in?   And is there a cursor showing on the screen?    And the roller ball in the centre of the mouse ... does that look clean or slightly off colour?
2.    Then the Magic Mouse.   Although the batteries show 100%, is there a constant green light below ... or does it flicker.   With these mice there have been several reports of problems after the Yosemite upgrade and not having Yosemite I have no way of checking things out.   So if I say to you, on lower level OSs, an SMC reset would be an early move, I am not sure if it has the same effect with your OS.   If it can be done, do it.    I have to assume you have checked the settings and the pairing.
Clearly we need to get at least one mouse working and I think the USB one should be the main target.
Please answer in two separate sections in the way I have set out my questions.
Thank you for the star; I do hope I can improve and help repair at least one of them.

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install
Reinstalling etc does not work - does anyone else have the same problem or a clue as to how to fix this?

Keith,
I got a C6280 and the scanner does not work anymore. I am for 6 days in contact with HP. The last printer driver install form the apple web site does not open the image of HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg because of an invalid checksum. The skipping of the validation gives and error in the install.

HT3917 My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed

My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed.

Do you get a steady green light to say there is a connection. If not, are the batteries the right way round. Do you have a monitor to tell the batteries strength. Is there a reading. Are the batteries good quality ones, Duracell, Energiser or Apple rechargeables.

Touchsmart 320-1030 Touchscreen is not working after OS re-install

HDD crashed, and was replaced with new, re-installed system from factory recovery CDs, now touch screen does not work. I have re-installed the drivers to no avail. system Properties says under Pen and Touch: No Pen or Touch Input is available for this Display. It used to work before the hard drive crashed. Is there a setting in the BIOS? or something else I may have missed?
Thanks

VN7-791G all bluetooth devices like Logitech mouse not working after Windows 10 upgrade

After upgrading to Windows 10 on my 2 month old Acer VN7-791G, my Logitech bluetooth mouse could not pair, my bluetooth speakers could not pair and neither could by Nexus 7. All these devices were working fine on Win 8.1 earlier. Under Device Manager, only the generic Windows Bluetooth, Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator and LE Enumerator drivers were showing (dated 21/6/2006). Under Network adapters, the driver showing was the Qualcomm Atheros QCA64x4 ver 10.0.0.62 dated 18/5/2015. I checked that this model is indeed compatible under ACER's website for Windows 10. I have also been checking the ACER drivers for Win 10 for this model but there are no new updated ones for Bluetooth. I downloaded the Win 8.1 ones and installed them but they still would not work (the Microsoft ones are still showing under Device Manager). I had to actually downgrade back to 8.1 a few days ago due to this issue but thought I would try to update to Windows 10 again hoping it would work but still no luck. I had googled but can't seem to find a solution and suspect that I need an updated bluetooth driver for Windows 10 from Acer or Broadcom. The Atheros website do not have any Windows 10 bluetooth drivers as well. I may have to downgrade again and try again in a few months time unless someone could please point me in the right direction. Thank you.

Yay! Success at last! Well, I had to resort to drastic measures which I was dreading and delaying. Basically, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 Then Reset PC to Factory Setting. This wiped out all data and applications/programs After getting back to default Windows 8.1, I tried pairing my bluetooth mouse and it worked I then immediately installed Windows 10 (from ISO file downloaded earlier) off a USB stick I chose the option for a clean install (this doesn't load any of the ACER bloatware) Once logging into Windows 10,I went into Device Manager and uninstalled all Bluetooth drivers Then I ran the setup for the Windows 8.1 Atheros bluetooth drivers as suggested - "LITE-ON Bluetooth_M 3rd WiFi 2x2 AC+ BT M.2 QCA NFA344_3.0.0.373_W81x64" I tried pairing my mouse and Nexus 7 and it works!!! For reference, here is my setup under Windows 10 after successfully pairing bluetooth devices. btw, interesting to see that the event log still reports some error about further installation just like earlier - probably indicates that the Win 8.1 Acer drivers are not 100% compatible yet.

Mouse not working after latest Microsoft updates for Vista

After installing the latest series of Windows updates for Microsoft Vista on my Boot Camp installation, the mouse quit working. I am using a mighty mouse, but any mouse plugged in resulted in an error message that it could not install the correct drivers. Re-installing the boot camp drivers did not work, but using system restore to roll back the updates did work. I was wondering if anyone knew which Microsoft update caused this to occur? If you need any further information, let me know.

To be honest, I'm not sure. I was trying to get Reset Points working (oh the timing) and it required me to install updates to reboot, so I simply did that. From what I was able to gather from people running WIN8 on non-apple machines it is often related to changes in intel xhci. Not sure how that relates to a Mac though.

Keyboard mouse not working after Windows update

Question was asked and supposedly answered b4, but didn't tell how to work around no keyboard or mouse. Ie: how do u get to device manager without keyboard/manager? I unplug to reboot and up down keys work in startup. However, when I open in safe mode, keyboard and mouse still don't work.

Secondary monitor does not work after OS X install

My secondary monitor does not work well after OS X install. The image on my secondary monitor is different even the screen svaer image is different and the mouse can not be seen.

Try the easy thing first - NVRAM reset:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If that does not work, post back with more info, including the version of Mac OS you are running. How is the external monitor connected, did it ever work, and from what OS X to what was the "OS X install" in your title?

Keyboard and Touch-Pad Not Working After Having to Install New Hard Drive

I had to install a new hard drive in my HP Pavillion DV9700t that has Vista Home Premium 64-bit. After going through the recovery process with backup disk the built in keyboard and touch-pad do not work. During the installation, an error message came up saying something along the lines of "the drivers are not supported by this verison of windows because they are unsigned." The drivers that had that error were "hpqkbfiltr keyboard filter driver," "HP remote control HID Device," and "hpqkdfilter driver." I tried to update the drivers for the keyboard from the hp website, but the keyboard and touch-pad still do not work.
My question is, where do I find the digitally signed drivers for the keyboard and touch-pad that Vista won't flag and disable?
Help please!

Sparkles,
Thanks for the suggestions.
When dealing with MS Fix It, I was choosing run. Upon further investigation on that site, there really isn't a scan that applies to my issue anyways I tried the .NET Framework repair tool, and that seemed to work. It told me to try re-running what I was having issues with, so I tried running the Windows PowerShell again, but again was faced with the following message "windows update standalone installer encountered an error: 0xc8000247." I went back to the .NET screen and hit "Next" because it didn't work, and that responded by saying they were going to submit logs to Microsoft. I won't hold my breath on that one.
I'm to the point where I honestly don't care anymore. I have no idea what to do, because doing a clean install with the discs HP sent me isn't going to help because they are just recovery discs, and not an actual Windows disk. This is the second hard drive I have had to put into my laptop and use those recovery disks on in the last 3-years. The built-in keyboard hasn't worked during that time frame on either hard drive. I don't think the recovery disks I was sent install properly. Not sure where to go from here. I spent way too much money on this laptop years ago having it custom built to handle all of my drafting programs, so I don't want to just kick it to the curb. I was looking into the possibility of just replacing it, but I cannot stand the Windows 8 interface.
I guess I should have fixed the issue with the keyboard on this hard drive before loading all of my programs. Between the recovery disk install, formatting of the hard drive, and installing all of my programs it took well over 12 hours. Not really looking forward ot that again Then there's shockwave and flash and all of the other goodies that my recovery disks won't restore anyways.
Sorry if this seems like a negative post, but I'm just tired of trying to no avail. Maybe I should just take it somewhere to get it looked at, but I can't see them being successful if the recovery disks won't help anyways.
Thanks for you help,
MadBuch

IPhoto not working after OS X install on my Macbook Air

I get this message - "You can't use this version of the application iphoto with this version of OSX you have iphoto 9.2.3."
When I try to download the latest version from the app store it never completes as an "error" occurs. Any advice would be great. Thanks!

When you download Mavericks to the USB drive it's not going to allow you to run the Mavericks installer. You need to buy an external drive then install Mavericks on the drive. You can then boot from the drive to recover your data and install a working OS X on the internal drive.
Recommended Drives
USB 3.0 drives work on USB 2.0 but you do get 2.0 speed. They are cheaper because they are popular PC drives. If you get a new computer you'll get the bump to 3.0 speed. I don’t recommend FW. The newer computers don’t have FW ports. You would need a connector in order to use the drive on a newer computer.
Size: I recommend either the 2T or 3T drives. Often they are cheaper than a 1T drive. The 4T drives have more issues and failure rates.
The Seagate USB 3.0 Backup plus drives come formatted for PC but easy to format in Disk Utility.
Seagate Backup Plus 2TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 (STCA2000100) (Amazon only had used drives so I couldn’t get a price)
Seagate Backup Plus 3TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 (STCA3000101) $134.99
This Western Digital drive has good reviews: Has a 2 yr warranty. Comes formatted for Mac but I would still format using Disk Utility.
WD My Book Hard Drive for Mac 2 TB (WDBYCC0020HBK-NESN) $99
WD My Book Hard Drive for Mac 3 TB (WDBYCC0030HBK-NESN) $119.99
Check the warranty when comparing. The longer the warranty the better the drive. WD makes cheaper drives but with almost no warranty.
Locally, Best Buy seems to have the best prices.
You can get one drive for both Time Machine and clone, but it’s recommended that you use different drives for each. If the drive dies you lose both types of backup.

Thunderbolt is not working after Mountain Lion installed

I'm putting this discussion again because the problem didn't solve like I thought !
As you can see from the title that I have a problem already after I installed the new OS X Mountain Lion. I got my thunderbolt to Hdmi adabtor connected to an LCD TV and it was working great with snow lepord. But after the I installed Mountain Lion. it won't even recognize that there is something connected and I don't see the options in my System Prefrences> Diplays like before.
I already run software update and it's all up to date and also done a PRAM reset and nothing changed.
It only ok for a couple of min. if I restarted it and without the sound working from the LCD TV.
Please I need help here.

Well I would have hit repair. This might be stemming from a deeper issue with the installation. I've never seen that dialogue box before, and if ignoring it and booting normally worked for you then I say you did the right thing.
however
I would, go to disk utility and then select your boot drive and verify and repair disks and permissions.
if anything else WEIRD should occur, you may want to go to the recovery partition of ML (cmd+R while hearing the boot chime) and reinstalling ML. That dialogue box you mentioned is strange and should be noted. A reinstall will probably fix whatever issue comes up.

Iphoto not working after time machine install

I have a first gen intel iMac and the hard drive had a sudden failure I was not overly concerned about my Data as I use time machine. I had a new Hard Drive installed and I used time machine to install back to snow leopard. all seems fine for a few days and every thing (software and hard ware (scanner)) was working fine. then I opened iPhoto to add a few new photos and all I get is the spining beach ball the library is 26 gig in size and was working fine before. I am at a loss as I still have all 9745 original photos on back up drive but not in order like in iPhoto and really don't want to recreate my library all over again. I've done disk permissions and only seem to have a problem with Java any body got any ideas?

Hi there Guys
I don't know if this is a true fix but my iPhoto 11 is now working iPhoto had an update and I did it to both my iPhoto programs (mac book and iMac) I then opened the not working librery on the laptop and it said the library need to be updated it did this and opened okay and all was working fine (I copied library on to a portable FireWire HD) when I copied it back to my iMac it said the same and went through the update and is now working fine.

TS3479 quick time not working after snow leopard install?

Made video's on my iphone and loaded them to my imac. Video did not work in iphoto. No Quick time pop up. what happened? Snow leopard install.

You need to re-install iPhoto because it's missing bits of itself:
Library not loaded...
Reason: no suitable image found.
Looking at the missing files it's possible that it's missing from the OS. But start with re-installing iPhoto, and if that fails you'll ned to re-install the OS.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only...’
