My apple bluetooth mouse is not being recognized by my macbook air - and it was yesterday!

My apple bluetooth mouse was working perfectly with my macbook air until I had to change the batteries. Now it is not discoverable and I really can't operate without a mouse. I tried another logitech usb mouse and that was not discoverable either. Please help!

Today, when I turned on my iMac, neither my bluetooth mouse or keyboard were recognized. I had to connect my old USB keyboard-mouse to type this message.
And yes, I restarted my iMac, didn't help.
Can someone help?
PS: Barry, "resetting SMC" doesn't help

My camera is not being recognized on my macbook air

I just got a new macbook air (older version). I updated all the software and it says there is no camera recognized.

(Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

It just does not appear on my macbook it will charge on a home or car charger but not through my mac book as if it doesn't exist!!
Please help Thank you

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting? Did he give you the cable that was originally included witht the Shuffle? I ask because if you are using a 3G/4G cable it will not work with the 2G Shuffle.
Have you worked through all the sugguestions here as necessary?

I have a macbook air and it was logged in on my dads apple id. i also have an apple id and i wanted to transfer that one to my computer. How do i do it?

I have a macbook air and it was logged on my dads apple id at first, then i got an apple id and i want to have my computer logged in on my computer. What am i supposed to do.

Change your old Apple ID using this link:
https://appleid.apple.com/
Click the blue Manage your Apple ID button.
Its password is unrelated to the password you use for the email associated with it.
If you don't remember the Apple ID password, click the Reset your password link.
I already have a new apply id that is set on my phone and ipad. I just want to switch it to that one...
You cannot change your Apple ID to another one that is already in use - in this case, the one you created for your iPnone and iPad. Decide which Apple ID you want to keep. If you need to change it, change it - don't create a new one.

Apple TV (1st Gen) not being recognized in iTunes 10.5

I recently updated iTunes to 10.5 and my Apple TV (1st Gen) will not longer show up in iTunes; thus I am not able to syn or stream any content from my iTunes library. I am not even able to reconnect/pair my Apple TV with my iTunes.
I have also been having trouble with my Apple TV dropping its wireless connection and not being to reconnect again.
Any suggestions?

ATV 1 is likely to be very low on the totem pole of Apple's concerns at the moment
(ESPECIALLY if no one issues a formal complaint).
So if you want to see a patch anytime soon I'd advise all who are having this problem to submit a bug report at:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
I've already submitted a report under both iTunes and AppleTV (since it's the iTunes developers that need to fix this)

HT203242 New Apple External Disc Burner not being recognized

Have an old Apple 2006 Intel Imac. Burner no longer works and purchased an Apple External Burner. The system is not recognizing the burner it still wants to recognize the internal burner that doesn't work.

I suspect it is the adapter throwing a wrench in the works. Why not get an IDE drive instead?

Apple USB keyboard is not being recognized with my iMac, what do I do?

When I startup my computer I am prompted with the 'there isn't a keyboard connected' message. I'm using an apple wired USB keyboard, it was working perfectly fine yesterday and it appears to still be operational as I can charge my iPhone from it.
I've tried restarting, using different ports, removing other USB devices, but haven't had any luck. I can only access my guest account as my main is password protected.
I don't know what to do, can someone please help?
Thanks

All notes just disappeared from "Notes" app on iPhone, iPad, Macbook Air and iCloud. Where are they?

For months they are there. Yesterday-- all gone! What the heck happened? Was it something I did? What can I do to get them back?

You will have to do more than simply changing settings in your moms account. To set up everything in your own account, go to Settings > iCloud > scroll down and press sign out. From this, check out this link for how to setup iCloud on all of your devices after making a new icloud account on your phone: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Before you set that up, you will have to make a new iCould account which you can simply do after you sign out of your mom's account on your devices.
Hope I can help!

IPod touch not being recognized by iTunes on my MacBook, and on 2 other PCs

Hello,
After scouring the web and these discussion forums to no avail, I've decided to post my problem. I downloaded iTunes 8.0 yesterday, and updated the firmware on my iPod Touch to 1.1.5. I tried connecting my iPod, and nothing happened. It is not being recognized by my MacBook. So, I tried using another USB iPod connector, and nothing happened. I tried using a firewire connector, and nothing happened. Frustrated, I tried connecting to my one roommate's HP laptop and see if it would get recognized there - no. I then tried on my other roommate's laptop. The device was recognized to be USB, but iTunes wouldn't go ahead and try and reformat it. I'm starting to lose my mind! I've tried resetting the iPod touch itself loads of times to no success. I've tried restarting while having the iPod connected to the computer, and still nothing.
What should I do now?

Sorry about not getting to you on the quick-fast, but we aren't Apple employees.
What ended up being the solution you needed, as you said, you couldn't find any information already posted on this problem, so documenting your fix may help someone in the future.

Looking for a bluetooth headphone for my Macbook Air and Ipad Mini, I am not looking for a headphone that needs a transmitter to be connected to the source rather a headphone that can be connected directly via bluetooth to the source device

I am desperately looking for a bluetooth headphone that would be compatible to my Macbook air and Ipad mini both. I am more of looking for a headphone that does not need a transmitter device to be connected to the source (in this case Macbook Air and Ipad Mini) and headphone acting as a receiver, rather need a headphone that would be connected directly via bluetooth to the source, it would be great if multiple apple devices be connected simultaneously. Please suggest some good headphones.

Hey sorry for the late reply, I was busy to figure out alternatives as harman kardon was a difficult affair to find and acquire, but the good news is I managed to get hold of alternative.
Sony I assume recently launched a Bluetooth headphone DR-BTN200 which is compatible to my MacBook Air , iPad mini and android phone galaxy s2 with ease, the sound quality is pretty good as compared to other brands of Bluetooth headphones I checked compatible or incompatible to apple devices alike, this is definitely what I was looking for, costed me 7990 INR, this is highly recommended for ppl who are confused, I carried my devices to the store and checked before I bought a pair and pretty much happy,
The best part of this is its battery backup, I have used this hours for 3-5 days but this has not drain even then, but I do keep this charging once in 2-3 days just to keep this ready otherwise it does not even ask for it neither the quality of sound drops after 2-3 days of use.
This is over the ear headphone which is very soft but it's get sweaty around the ear I guess that's bound to happen.
Do get back to me for any other details, would be glad to share with all :)

I'm trying to sign in onto my brand new MacBook Air and it's telling me it can't because of server error. Is this the machine not working or the network?

I'm trying to sign in with my Apple ID on the first set up of my MacBook Air and it keeps coming up with the error message "couldn't sign in because of server error"
Can anyone help with this please?

1) The One-to-One program is in person in an Apple Store. I've never heard of any phone-based training. Perhaps the salesperson was confusing that with AppleCare which extends the phone support on your product.
2) Here is the relevant part from the official terms:
Members may have no more than one (1) Personal Training, one (1) Group Training and one (1) Open Training session reserved at any given time. After the completion of your session, you may schedule your next.
http://www.apple.com/retail/learn/one-to-one/terms.html
If the saleperson gave you incorrect information that makes the One-to-One service unusable, talk to the store manager and tell him or her what information you were given incorrectly, and ask about a refund of the cost of the program.
Regards.
