Microsoft Mouse - Just Want to Lose that "Connection Lost" error message!
I'm using a Microsoft Mouse 5000 with a 2006 MacBook (latest version of Leopard).
My MacBook is used as a home theater system and I use the mouse while sitting on the couch, which is maybe 15 feet away from the MacBook (I would have thought I was easily within the 30 foot bluetooth range?)
Issue is that the mouse frequently drops the bluetooth connection - then picks it up again seconds later. Note that the mouse remains paired, no issue there.
Anyway, the dropped connection is not so much the problem - it's the darned error message! It is SO annoying to have the "connection lost" message and mouse symbol appear in the middle of the screen while I'm watching a movie!
Questions:
a) any suggestions for improving my connectivity? I believe my firmware is up to date (I can't see any updates on the Apple support site since version 1.2 in 2004).
b) if the answer to a) is no, anyone advise if I can disable that error message from appearing? As I said, it's superfluous anyway since the connection resumes seconds later
Thanks!

An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library. That is why yu are getting the message when yu try to sync it to the other library/computer. You can however, manage music and viodeos among multiple computer by:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers

Waiting for Tidbits and Elector to grace my post with there constant negativity and start a war of words as usual... since they love stirring the pot and angering the Windows Phone Community every time they reply to posts. I just can't believe they spend that much time here on the forums replying if they are not a paid Verizon employee or a paid basher from a competing platform.

Well I found nothing wrong in your post. So why even make a statement like the quote I included?
Once more I am a retired government employee. So I have the time to post. Or has my rights been taken away to voice an opinion?
Your posts was great you were not whining about your rights to file complaints to the FCC or FTC etc. One of the best I have read.
And I am not trying to sway you from your phone choice. If you looked at my avitar it shows apple iphones. But I use and have used androids and not Windows phones.
However your numbers of windows phone users all leaving over the issue is miniscule in the number of users of Android and iOS devices.
I have written many times I wish all the devices get updated like iOS devices do. But at present that is not happening
No bashing, no adversarial post just a little common sense is all I use.
And again your post was great.
Good Luck -
My ical is showing "on my mac" "iCloud" and "yahoo" calendars. I just want one calendar that will sync up to my iPhone. How can I get rid of all these Calendars??
'On My Mac' and Yahoo calendars won't sync to iCloud. You can move them to iCloud, but then Yahoo will lose contact with its calendars. if you are happy to sync onlly with iCloud, and thus to your iPhone, you can move the calendars: you will have to do it one at a time, and the process is just a trifle convoluted - it's described in the first set of numbered instructions here:

I just want to know that if I buy an iphone 4S here in melbourne can i use it in china?
i don`t know whether it`s locked or not and i don`t know what`s the network in china as well.
Can somebody please help？
I am really in a hurry to know it.
Thanks a lot.
P.S: For the iphone 4S. is there any difference for the one from online shop or the actual store?iPhones purchased from the online Apple Store in Australia will be unlocked. To the best of my knowledge, unlocked iPhone are not available from the physical Apple Stores at this time, though you can call the Apple Store in Melbourne and inquire.
Note that the warranty on iPhones is not international, so if you purchase an iPhone in Australia and it needs service, you would have to ship the iPhone to someone in Australia to take or send to Apple for service and then ship it back to you.
Regards.
(Note for any readers: this is an old thread and I posted before noticing the date, but decided to leave my reply in case anyone else finds the thread and has the same question). -
i have just purchased a new iphone 5, just wanted to know that what is the best way to insure my iphone
Contact yor carrier. Your carrier may have some Mobile Insurance that you pay a certain amount per month to insure your device. Most carriers require you have the device less than 30 days in order to insure it. If your carrier is AT&T, AT&T has mobile insurance for only $6.99 per month. AT&T has open enrollment for their mobile insurance now. So anyone has an AT&T line can get insurance coverage for their device.

My volume down button have stuck but it was not my falt and no dent is on the button and I read in an article that apple will replace it because it is a defect and my phone is 2 years old so means out of warrenty just want to ask that will apple replace it.
If your phone is out of warranty you will be given the option of buying a new phone or getting one with an out of warranty replacement, which is cheaper that buying a new phone.

When I want to get an app, an error message comes up saying I need 3.0 software update. How do I get my ipod updated in itunes, when itunes says my ipod is already updated?
OR if I cannot update to software 3.0, how can I find apps that will work just for my ipod touch?It sounds like you have a 1G iPod Touch, in which case you can only upgrade to iOS version 3.1. Here is a link to purchase the update.
