Bluetooth Mighty Mouse and Keyboard not working in Win XP!

Hi All,
I simply cannot get my Bluetooth Mighty Mouse and Keyboard to work in Win XP via Bootcamp! The bluetooth icon appears in the tray and even shows that they are connected but they do nothing at all. One thing to note is that they show up as connected but with no password. Could this be the problem? If I reconnected the two with new passcodes for XP, would they still work when I reboot in OSX?

Mighty Mouse causing keyboard problems?

I just recently bought a wireless Mighty Mouse, and, after having installed it, all of my F buttons (dim screen, brighten screen, expose, dashboard, etc.) on my MacBook's keyboard are incorrect. My forward one track button is now the expose, and my volume up button is the dashboard. Aside from those and one or two others, the rest don't even do anything when pressed. I tried going to my keyboard/mouse preferences and restoring everything to it's default setting, but that did nothing. I also tried moving said F keys back to their original settings/keys, which I did succeed in, partially, but my volume up, volume down, mute, track forward, pause/play, track backward, keyboard brighten, keyboard dim, screen brighten, and screen dim keys still do nothing.
You could probably guess that this is extremely annoying, so, all answers are greatly appreciated.

System Prefs > Keyboard & Mouse
deselect the box "Use all F1 F2 etc keys as standard function keys"

Bootcamp, Mighty Mouse and Keyboard not working

Hi All,
I just install yesterday Windows 7 (Ultimate 64bits) by Bootcamp in my iMac 21" (bought in 2013).
During the installation, the Mighty Mouse and the keyboard were not working (except the first W7 screens, selecting partition and language), and now, installation finished, i got to use an external keyboard to select username and password, because Mighty Mouse and Wireless Keyboard are not working with Windows.
I restart the computer using OSX and both are working fine.
Could you please help me?
Best

Mighty mouse and keyboard

Hi,
I have an imac 24" for a year now and the last week my mighty mouse (wireless) and my new keyboard (usb) seems to loose the settings and i have to go back to system preferences to reconfigure the mouse buttons.e.g mouse button for dashboard doest respond same for expose. keyboard f13 that was set for expose too doesnt work.any help?
thanx

Yes, I am. But for me at last, getting rid of my mousepad was the simple solution.
I did tried the paper under it that someone suggested, and even changed the sensitivity of the MM in System Preferences to no avail. Then I threw away my mousepad, frustrated and angry... and the Mouse was Mighty again. Now I use it right over the plain wood surface of my desk without any misbehavior.
Hope that helps someone.

Help Please Software/Hardware Mouse And Keyboard problem.

I have a Corsair Vengeance and a Razr Black widow keyboard and the problem is that when i right click it wont let me select any options, it will flicker violently only when i move the mouse and im getting strange yellow highlight boxes whenever i drag
the left mouse button(ex Volume Sliders). The keyboard will only bring up shortcuts and the start button on my keyboard will open narrater settings. Ive noticed that it only happens when my computer falls asleep and when i turn it back on the problem will
start. Ive just installed advanced system care and ive done he maintanence. Can that be the problem? Ive already uninstalled it but the problem keeps happening.

Try reinstalling the driver http://www.razerzone.com/au-en/gaming-keyboards-keypads/razer-blackwidow/
Also run a "sfc /scannow" from the command prompt
Also in advanced power management setting disable the USB power saving options (think its called USB hybrid power saving)

Mouse and keyboard problem after updating to Mountain Lion

Hi!
This is the strangest problem I got on a Mac for 20 years...
I work on a Macpro 3,1. I upgraded my 10.7.5 os to 10.8.5 (needed it to use GTX 680 card).
The upgrade went fine and then... The mouse and the keyboard don't react.
After resetting the SMC they began to react but the mouse is deadly erratic and the keyboard repeats few time each key (impossible to write), for instance I hit n and got nnnnnn.
Resetting PRam does not help. Redoing the os update did not help.
This is really bad cause I can't use my Mac at all right now. I think I'll do a Fresh lion install and move my data back to it before I find something for that Mountain.
Its a real pain, does someone have an idea?
Thank you,
Milosz

Hi!
For those interested, I found the solution reading others forums.
Here it is:
I had to remove my optional old apple airport card (atheros a/b/g) and everything works fine now.
Hopefully I don't wifi on that Mac, otherwise I would need to buy another one. Which one? I don't know.
Too bad Mountain Lion isn't supporting anymore that apple card…
Have a nice day

Mighty Mouse and wireless keyboard stop working

Just got my iMac yesterday and everything worked out of the box. But once yesterday and once so far today, the wireless mighty mouse and keyboard stopped working.
Today I noticed after the mouse stopped moving the cursor, the little green light on the bottom of the mouse was blinking. I turned off the mouse and turned it back on, but the green light still blinked and the mouse still didn't work.
The only thing that did something was the power button on the iMac. I had to turn off the iMac and turn it back on. Then the keyboard and mouse worked again.
What's going on? Do I need to get the iMac repaired?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Try deleting this file. com.apple.bluetooth.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.
If that doesn't help, make sure the batteries are charged. Go to System Preferences/Keyboard&Mouse. Click the Bluetooth tab. Your battery levels are displayed there. When it gets down to one green bar on the left, install new batteries.
If none of the above helps, turn the mouse and keyboard off. Delete the mouse and keyboard from the System Preferences/Bluetooth devices window. Select the mouse in the window on the left, then click the minus - button. Now open the slider on the mouse so the green light blinks. Click + which will launch the Bluetooth Setup Assistant. Just follow the instructions. Same for the keyboard. If you still have issues with the wireless hardware, I'd take it back. You have 14 days in case you need to replace the iMac.

Mac Mini and Bluetooth Recent Problems (Mighty Mouse, Wireless Keyboard)

Hello there,
I have an issue with my Mac Mini.
We had a storm here recently, so I switched my Mac off. After that, I turned it on, but to my surprise my Wireless Mighty Mouse and Wireless Keybord do not function any more. The green dot under the mouse nad keyboard flashes for a few seconds and turns off. I tried to plug my regular mouse and keyboard but it seems the do not work too. Any solutions?

i dont know if you have another mac around but have you tried repairing the disk by putting it into Target disk mode and hooking up another mac to it? if nothing else, try putting the install CD/DVD and boot from there by holding down "c" as it boots. if that works then it may just be a bad BT card. if it doesnt work then you may have bad usb ports. i hope you have applecare!
a tip for bluetooth HIDs, spread them apart. you will experience problems on occasion where their signals get crossed and they fail to sync right.
by the way, if you went the extra mile to turn off your mac because you were concerned about it, then why didnt you just unplug it from the outlet?

Windows 7 and Wireless Mighty Mouse, Wireless Keyboard and sound problem

Hi,
I just installed Windows 7 x64 Ultimate on my iMac 24" white ( OS X Leopard 10.5 ). Surprisingly, it installed without any problems. The only problems I have now are the Wireless Mighty Mouse and the Wireless Keyboard ( alu ).
After I installed Windows I inserted the Leopard Instal DVD and installed Boot Camp. I got a message right away saying that: "This program has known compatibility issues...". I clicked Run program and continued. Soon I got the same warning, but this time not for Boot Camp, but Intel Chipset Device Software. I clicked Run program yet again and it continued installing. Then I got a different warning: "Service KeyAgent' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." I clicked Ignore and installation continued. I got another "Service Mac HAL' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." warning, clicked Ignore again and after that it finished soon and I restarted the computer.
When I came back into Windows there was no Apple folder anywhere or any sign that I have just installed Boot Camp ( should there be? )
I installed Boot Camp Update 2.1 for Windows XP ( because Vista x64 version wouldn't start ) and basically I got the same warnings I did when I installed Boot Camp from the Leopard DVD ( described above ). I also tried to instal Boot Camp Update 2.2 for Windows, but it didn't start. I also downloaded Bluetooth Update 1.0, but all I got was a message saying: "This update is not intended for this computer and will not be installed.".
There is also no sound.
This is basically it, I really hope some of you who run Windows 7 with wireless keyboards and mice can help me, because I desperately need this to work ( I use a Windows only program for school ).
PS. I have a 2007 iMac 24" white and while it is not on the we're-not-supporting-that list for the infamous Windows 7 Boot Camp update, all other iMacs from its generation are. Any ideas?

Found a solution for the "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model" message. Here is the link: http://www.techulous.com/hardware/how-to-apple-boot-camp-64-bit-for-windows-7-on -unsupported-macs.html
Everything works ( for ) now. Yay!

Mighty Mouse and Wireless Keyboard

I purchased a Mighty Mouse and a Wireless Keyboard at the Apple Store today...unfortunate to my stupidity the keyboard won't work.
I was told I could get both to work. The Mighty Mouse works swimmingly, however the Wireless Keyboard can't connect. How can I get it to connect to my computer? I heard something about a Bluetooth USB wire or something along the lines of that, but how would I go about getting one?
Help is greatly appreciated

Does your computer have built-in Bluetooth, or an external Bluetooth adapter? If not, there's your problem.

Problem with xfce and/or mouse and keyboard

Hi!
Two days ago I've turned on my laptop with Arch and the display manager Slim has frozen immediately. Later on Single-User mode I've uninstalled it. Now in normal mode when I type "startxfce4" everything is showing up, but the mouse and keyboard don't work. I know it's not frozen, because animation of mouse and CPU Frequency Monitor is on.
Strange fact is that laptop is not connecting with the Internet, so now I don't know where the problem is.
It's happening when I start xfce both from user and super user.
Just before those troubles I've updated everything with "pacman -Syu", but I haven't seen anything strange. Also the computer could have been roughly turned off (by unplugging power supply), when was turning on.
Thanks,
Gaba

Sorry for not replying, but I didn't have access to my laptop by this time.
On grub I have only normal mode and 'fallback' mode, so I have result from 'journalctl' from normal mode.
I'm sending the fragment of this file where you can see everything after I typed 'startxfce4' in console:
http://codepad.org/8pYIj8qC
I see that something is wrong, but after some attempts I don't know how to fix this ^^
Edit:
Oh, I forgot to write, that I've tried activate some drivers from 'lspci -k' (there were no "Kernel driver in use:..." in almost every device), but it didn't fi anything.

Hi, Guys!!
And you have some right cosmic_hippo , Why?
Well think that the real problem it's something between Firefox and Flash content...
because if i use Safari and i try make what i describe in the first post, i don't have any problem with the mouse settings.
Only Happens when i use Firefox...
Cheers.
Well the issue is still there...

Magic Mouse continually fails to left click, and keyboard problems

Since my Yosemite 10.10.1 update, my mouse, and keyboard keep failing periodically. After a nights sleep, when I try to open a program, by left clicking, it will occasionally only right click. Being able to left click, is very crucial, even more then right clicking, especially when trying to enter a website into a url, or when selecting a bookmark. Anyway I will restart my computer, and when I then try to enter my password, certain keys will then fail, and respond wt a low ping. It usually requires at least 5 to 10 minutes of a complete shutdown, until the keyboard and mouse work again. I keep fearing that my keyboard will fail, while entering this message. It occurs so very randomly, but has been occurring more often as time goes by. I worried that it might occur, before I'm done typing this post. Does anyone have any idea, what the problem could be, and have any remedy reccommendations?

Nubz,
actually I'm still using a standard wired apple keyboard, wt the magic mouse, because the wire goes under my desk, and I was actually considering getting a trackpad. Still since my Yosemite upgrade, I'm having problem after problem, so I'm not sure I will even stay wt Mac. Honestly I've examined any and all solutions, in that support article, but none of them were relevant to my problem.
I did check & repair my Yosemite Disk Permissions using Disk Utility, and although it found only a few things wrong, and none were related to my keyboard, or mouse (most were for my HP printer), repairs seemed to rectify the problem.
