Mouse and keyboard shortcuts not working

I running Firefox 3.6.12 on a Mint 10 Gnome system. Firefox has worked very well for the past month with no problems. Today the mouse quit working when trying to click on any of the pulled down menus at the top, "File, Edit, View..." it also will not work on any pull down menus on screen, address bar, stumble tools... The shortcut keys for the top menu are also not working, Alt F will not pull the file menu down. The mouse works on links and single buttons such as the stumble button or bookmark buttons. Also, right clicking does not work anywhere in Firefox, but works in other programs.
I have rebooted the system and uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I started Firefox in safe mode and everything started working as it should.
Restarted in normal mode and everything is again working, I didn't make any changes.
The theme was set at default as I have never changed it. I installed all the addons when I first got Firefox, no new ones have been added in over a month.
Does starting in safe mode reset the addons and plugins? Curious as to why starting in safe mode corrected the problem.

Touchsmart 520-1047c Mouse and Keyboard will not work after sleep mode

I have an issue which I need some help with. When my computer goes to sleep the wireless mouse and keyboard will not work unless I restart, however each one will wake the system up but will not operate after that. I have tried just making the display go to sleep, both go to sleep but that makes no difference same issue occurs. The only work around I have found is going into the power settings and turning the sleep mode off for booth the computer and display. This does not solve the problem it just masks it. New batteries, unplugged and replugged the dongle, updated the bios and all drivers. Don't know what else to try. Anybody know how to fix this? Thank you in advance for your help.

Bluetooth mouse and keyboard do not work

I purchased an iMac G5 about 6 months ago. I got it with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard. I have had trouble with it from day 1. Apple had me replace the logic unit, and it worked for a couple of weeks. Then as soon as the 90-day warranty for complimentary service ran out, it began working sporadically. Now it doesn't work at all. It says I don't have a bluetooth module installed or attached to my computer (which is what it said before the logic unit was replaced. The computer works fine with a USB mouse and keyboard. Had I known bluetooth was so tempermental and difficult, I sure wouldn't have got it with my computer.
Unless there is a smart person out there who knows what is going on, I guess I need to buy a new USB keyboard and mouse. Anybody interested in buying a bluetooth keyboard and mouse cheap?

Russell,
The warranty period on your mac is 1 year. The complimentry phone service period is 90 days unless you have a hardware problem. I'd say you likely have a hardware problem and will not be charged for the phone call.
I'd suggest 2 things:
1. Sign up for Applecare as has been recommended countless times.
2. Make the call to tech support and see what they say about your problem.
Good Luck,
John

Bluetooth Mouse and keyboard STILL Not working can someone help me?

i have an apple Bluetooth Keyboard and wireles mighty mouse. Since i have installed leopard months ago it was working fine but then my mouse and keyboard stopped pairing with my Powerbook it recognises the devices but the refuse to pair i changed the batteries and installed the software that cam ith the keyboard and mouse and still nothing works.
Can someone help me please

After updating to 10.5.2 I am still experiencing problems with my Apple wireless mouse and keyboard. This is a Leopard issue ( here is just one blog on the topic
http://aralbalkan.com/1086 ) in 2005 I purchased a Mac Mini which I love and never experienced a Bluetooth problem till I installed Leopard several months ago, now at least once a week, on average 2-3 times a week, I loose connection with the keyboard or the mouse and it takes awhile to re-establish the connection. I was hoping the last upgrade would address this issue but no such luck.

Windows 10 install (64 bit). Mouse and keyboard do not work, can't click through setup configuration.

I've tried with both upgrade and iso installation (starting from Windows 7), but for some reason, after setup is finished and I get into the configuration area (IE, accepting license agreements or choosing network or choosing express setup), I do not have
a mouse and keyboard to do anything with. The keyboard and mouse are powered, but aren't giving input. For example, toggling cap's lock does not show up on the keyboard's lights.
Keyboard is Razer Black Widow, mouse is Gigabyte M8000X. I also tried with a Microsoft wireless mouse/keyboard pair with the Razer unplugged during setup (Reason being, a separate razer setup window would appear during the 'configuring devices' stage).
I am able to install to virtual box, but I've only tried the 32 bit installer. I have not yet tried the 32 bit installer on the actual machine, and I have not yet tried booting to the CD.

Review these,

MAC Mouse and Keyboard Do Not Work, when I am trying to re-install the OS using "Command R" option

I am trying to re-install MAC OS 10.8.2, but when I hold "command R" I am asked for the firmware password, but the keyboard and mouse do not work.
If I only select "option" during the boot up process it will ask me for the firmware password, keyboard and mouse work, but I can only select the HD option.
Can someone advise what is the problem here, and your resolution.
I have tried different commands "option + command + R' with no luck.

I tried what was provided on the link, but it is not working.
I hold it down, before the gray screen and the chime, but it only prompts but the firmware password.
I tried based on the specific order in the support document and at a random press and hold.
No go any other thoughts?

Can not install windows 7 pro using boot camp as mouse and keyboard will not work Help please

I have a new iMac and trying to install Windows 7 Pro using boot camp. I have reached the stage of starting to load windows from the DVD then discovered the mouse and the keyboards not working so I could not interact with windows installation.

Open, if not so already, the Windows formatter. Identify the BC Windows partition. It will be the one listed with the proper size you created and/or will be labeled as a C: drive. Be careful you select the right one or you may be corrupting the entire drive.
Format the partition as NTFS.

i have a 2008 24' imac

Hi
It is not easy to say much about this issue.
Do you use wireless devices? Are batteries OK?
Have you noticed the same problem using other USB devices?
I presume both devices uses USB port on your notebook.

Please help! my iMac keeps freezing, mouse and keyboard do not work after

Early this morning I turned on my iMac and started downloading updates through software update as usual. I was browsing a website in Safari when all of a sudden the "zoom" feature activated itself and I could not turn it off. I restarted and the keyboard started typing different characters but not letters, so I took out my installation CD and it took me quite a while to reboot the computer using the CD as a startup. Since the keyboard had a different input, the C key was not running the CD. I tried loggin into the support page, but it downloaded the links into the desktop. I used system utilities to restart the computer from the CD, I verified the Disk Permissions, then Repaired the permisions, then the Verify Disk and then the Repair disk, in that order. I restarted the computer and everything seemed fine, but after a couple of minutes the mouse starts closing windows, downloading website links into the desktop and then the keyboard freezes and does not let me type! This has repeated over and over, and I don't know what to do!
Posting this message has been quite an achievement, because I have restarted the computer a lot of times in order to finish.
Someone please help! I don't know what else to do!!!
Thanks!

Yes. And since you aren't backed up, you may have to use Prosoft Data Rescue to try to recovery any information that is critical. First though, do you have another Mac you can hook this one up to using Target Disk Mode?
If you do, that's another way to rescue information. Target Disk Mode is explained here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
Similarly, if you have a bootable external hard drive, you can try to boot off that with the Startup manager:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106178
To rescue your information. This at least will allow you to do further analysis to see what data corruption might have happened. If the drive is invisible when booted off another, that may indicate a directory issue. But first let's see if we can attach or boot off another and see the internal drive of the machine.

I AM USING KEYBOARD WITHOUT MOUSE AND LETTER "H" NOT WORKING

I AM USING KEYBOARD WITH NO MOUSE AND LETTER "H" NOT WORKING
DOES SOMEONE KNOWS WHAT CAN BE DONE.
THANK YOU
MARIA

I saw this issue before where cause was a bad preference for another application.
When I had the "can't type Shift H" problem in Entourage, it was a corrupt preference for FlightCheck, a preflighting program I use in conjuction with QuarkXPress that was the culprit.
First determine if the problem is in your User’s folder by creating a new User in System Preferences and test for the problem there. If it goes away then you know the problem is in your User’s folder.
Use new User to test for problems
Let us know the results

PS5 Action Keyboard Shortcuts Not Working

PS5 Action Keyboard Shortcuts Not Working -- Running 10.6.7 on a Mac Pro. Any suggestions?
I've tried restarting, changing key combinations, etc. Nothing works and I'm wasting time using my mouse...
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had this problem too but using Windows 7. I tried resetting, renaming the shortcuts, swearing loudly, none of it worked. I found out it was a totally unrelated program, Xfinity Protection Suite, that was the culprit. My virus protection program added it as an 'upgrade.' AFter I uninstalled it everything was back to normal. Have you installed anything new onto your computer lately that could be interfering?

Hot Corners and Keyboard Shortcuts Stop Working

When disconnecting from my 27" (that I use as a docking station with keyboard and mouse), in some cases my hot corners and keyboard shortcuts stop working.
F11 does not show the desktop, Ctl-UpArrow does not show mission control. Ctr-left-right arrow does work, as i can still toggle between desktops.
I know, lots of randomness here...
A reboot fixes everything.

I've go a Windows 7 system running CS5 and when I start Photoshop all my shortcuts are working but eventually really important ones like the brush tool sizing stop working. At the moment the only non-adobe/windows app running is iTunes and that have been running the whole time, turning iTunes off does not enable the stortcuts again.
Has the only conclusion to this problem been to turn off other apps? This has been a problem for me since I upgraded to CS5 and its driving me a little mental !

USB mouse and keyboard don't work on HP Pavilion g7 2203sd, Windows 8.1.

It is not possible to use a USB mouse or keyboard on the HP Pavilion g7 2203sd notebook running Windows 8.1.
A wireless mouse used to work (already some time ago), but now wired or wireless mouse and keyboard don't work any more.
I have tried removing USB devices in the Windows Device Manager and let Windows detect them again, but it does not work.
I read somewhere that it might have to do with the xHCI USB controller that is installed.
I tried removing that and connecting the USB mouse but no succes.
I also looked for driver updates or something to disbale in the BIOS (like xHCI), but nothing found for that.
Can anybody help me with this problem.
Thanks!
