My keyboard doesn't work for my mac computer

Please explain how "it does not work." Is the KB Bluetooth, does the Bluetooth icon appear in the menu bar, and so on?

Booting problem, mouse and keyboard doesn't work for 2 minutes

I got a brand new mac mini 2.4Ghz just 3 weeks ago, got a few problems over the last week that I've been able to fix, but now I'm stuck with a problem when booting. The booting process seems a bit slow, and once the desktop has been fully loaded, the keyboard and mouse doesn't work, and the computer is using the non-calibrated Display Profile. After about 2 minutes, the display profile change to calibrated, and the mouse and keyboard work again. I have no clue about how to fix that problem, and I'm thinking about bringing the computer to an Apple Store by tomorrow if I can't fix it.

Blackberry 8330 keyboard doesn't work for the 2nd time

Hi, this is the second time that this has happened to me. The first time, I had finished a text message, and left it on my bed, only to come back an hour later, and the entire keyboard didn't work. The only thing that worked was the trackball, but it could only move around; I wasn't able to click it or anything. After many battery pulls, I looked online, and saw that I could try to reload the OS using application loader. I did that, but I was left with the same error. I eventually ended up having to go to the store, and as I was still under warranty, got them to replace it for me. All in all, a huge hassle. Lo and behold, two months later, the same issue is back. I've tried the battery pulls, and reloading the OS, but nothing seems to work! Any ideas? I don't want to have to keep going back to the store to replace it.

I have the same problem on My Blackberry 8310 Curve..

Wireless printing on the HP2540 all in one doesn't work with my Mac computer

I have reinstalled the HP software 4 times but my MacBook Pro with the latest Lion OS will not print wirelessl with my HP 2540 All in One. Does anyone know how I might get this working?

Hello Seraphim8,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand you are having some problems getting your HP Deskjet 2540 connected wirelessly to your Mac running the Lion OS X.
I would like you to start here: 'Unable to find printer' Error Message Displays on the Computer During a Wireless Network Installati...
Please follow ALL steps listed and remember not all wireless routers support Bonjour or all of Bonjour's features. Since Bonjour is the default method for discovering printers on a network, you must first make sure that your wireless router supports Bonjour.
The document will help you determine if your router is compatible with Bonjour. Let me know the outcome, I will watch for your reply.
Thank you,

SafeSleep doesn't work for Mac mini

I use Mac mini (Mid 2011) with hibernatemode=3.
But my Mac doesn't reboot from sleepimage afer I unplug the power cord. I mean SafeSleep doesn't work for my Mac. It boots normally but every program is initialized.
It is strange that I very rarely watch the very moment that my Mac's progress bar when rebooting from SafeSleep successfully.
Please help me to use SafeSleep and to save energy.
I am sure settings are correct and sleepimage is made by the following commands.
$ ls -l /private/var/vm
total 8519680
-rw------T 1 root wheel 4294967296 9 9 18:01 sleepimage

$ pmset -g

autorestart          0
disksleep            10

Don't be too dismayed that you can't take advantage of Hibernate the way you did in the past on your PCs. See this chart:
(from here: http://images.apple.com/environment/reports/docs/macmini_per_july2011.pdf)
At most, you're drawing 1.16W in Sleep. For me, that amounts to a cost of about 10p every fortnight. If it's the environmental effects that concern you, further reading of the PDF should show you've got one of the most environmentally-friendly home computers money can buy.
I hope that puts your mind at ease.

[BUG]: MakeWritable doesn't work for mac

I'm trying to use oracle.jdeveloper.refactoring.util.MakeWritableHelper in my plugin, and I found it doesn't work for MAC. The byte code shows it only check the osname for "Windows" and "Linux".
and some Jdeveloper refactoring feature failed due to can't make file writable, they may also related to this class.

My MAC version is OSX 10.5.4.
I don't have a stacktrace. It just fails silently.
You can easily reproduce this bug by reformat a readonly file.
Here is the code I reverse engineered from oracle.jdeveloper.refactoring.util.Util.java:
public static boolean setReadOnly(java.net.URL url, boolean readOnly)
boolean ret = false;
java.lang.String cmdarray[] = null;
java.lang.String platformPathName = oracle.ide.net.URLFileSystem.getPlatformPathName(url);
java.lang.String osName = java.lang.System.getProperty("os.name", "");
if(osName.startsWith("Windows"))
cmdarray = (new java.lang.String[] {
"ATTRIB", readOnly ? "+R" : "-R", (new StringBuilder()).append('"').append(platformPathName).append('"').toString()
else
if(platformPathName.equalsIgnoreCase("Linux"))
cmdarray = (new java.lang.String[] {
"chmod", readOnly ? "u-w" : "u+w", (new StringBuilder()).append('"').append(platformPathName).append('"').toString()
if(cmdarray != null)
java.lang.Runtime runtime = java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime();
try
java.lang.Process process = runtime.exec(cmdarray);
if(process.waitFor() == 0)
ret = (new File(platformPathName)).canWrite();
if(ret)
oracle.ide.model.Node node = oracle.ide.model.NodeFactory.find(url);
if(node instanceof oracle.ide.model.TextNode)
oracle.ide.model.TextNode textNode = (oracle.ide.model.TextNode)node;
textNode.isReadOnly();
catch(java.io.IOException e)
e.printStackTrace();
catch(java.lang.InterruptedException e)
e.printStackTrace();
return ret;
}

You could probably try running without an xorg.conf (still make sure hal is running).

Can't set up windows on bootcamp, keyboard doesn't work

okay, i wait through the agony of the windows install non-sense, and it comes up to the part where i have to set up windows (name, accounts, etc.). But when i go to enter all my info, my keyboard doesn't work, or my mouse for that matter. I have a 24" iMac with the wireless keyboard and mouse. I don't know what to do!

Jay:
Below is excerpt I took from [HERE|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1461] which mandates using an internal keyboard or a USB keyboard/mouse to install Windows via boot camp.
Requirements
To use Boot Camp, you need:
1. *An Intel-based Macintosh computer with a built-in or USB keyboard and a built-in trackpad or USB mouse.*
2. Mac OS X 10.5 or later
3. The latest firmware updates available for your Intel-based Mac.
4. At least 10 GB of free space on your startup disk (single partition).
5. A full, single-disc version of Windows Vista, Windows XP Home Edition or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later. Boot Camp does not include Windows. You must provide your own properly licensed installation disc.
Important: A Windows XP installation disc must include Service Pack 2 (SP2). You cannot install an earlier version of Windows and upgrade to Windows XP, nor install an earlier version of Windows XP and update it to SP2.
6. Boot Camp Assistant (find it installed in /Applications/Utilities/ on Leopard).

TS1277 HI. I have followed all the appropriate steps above and when I try to enter my 'Password' when asked, my keyboard doesn't work. No key press can be activated at all when trying to enter my password in 'Terminal. And I am in the 'Administrator' user

HI.
I am having trouble authorising my Mac Air to my Itunes account. I found a discussion explaining how to go go into 'Terminal', then adding a command. I have followed all those appropriate steps and when I try to enter my 'Password' when asked, my keyboard doesn't work. No key press can be activated at all when trying to enter my password in 'Terminal. And I am in the 'Administrator' user. Can anybody offer any suggestions?? ta

Does the command that you're trying to enter in Terminal begin with the word 'sudo'?
If so, your keyboard is working fine. When you type your password after a sudo command, nothing is echoed to the screen for security reasons (not even the * that are normally registered in other user interfaces). However, the program is registering what you type.
Just type your password and press 'return' and the command will be executed (so long as you type it correctly; if you don't, you'll get an error message).

If you can't sign in, then you can't troubleshoot and/or pair the keyboard until after that........ so, for that, you will need to borrow someone's USB wired keyboard in order to get signed in and to the Keyboard Bluetooth Preferences.

How can I add a new Template to My Templates in Pages? I've read most of the discussions on the subject but it doesn't work for me. By the time I reach the Templates folder, I only see templates for Numbers and not for Pages. Need help, please. Thanks

Si vous avez utilisé la commande Save As Template depuis Pages, il y a forcément un dossier
iWork > Pages
contenant Templates > My Templates
comme il y a un dossier
iWork > Numbers
contenant Templates > My Templates
Depuis le Finder, tapez cmd + f
puis configurez la recherche comme sur cette recopie d'écran.
puis lancez la recherche.
Ainsi, vous allez trouver vos modèles personnalisés dans leur dossier.
Chez moi, il y en a une kyrielle en dehors des dossiers standards parce que je renomme wxcvb.template quasiment tous mes documents Pages et wxcvb.nmbtemplate à peu près tous mes documents Numbers.
Ainsi, quand je travaille sur un document, je ne suis pas ralenti par Autosave.
Désolé mais je ne répondrai plus avant demain.
Pour moi il est temps de dormir.

PSPaletteMenu category doesn't work for automation plugins

Hello,
I would like to have a menu item under Photoshop "Window" menu for my automation plugin.
There is a notice in the PIPL.r file that goes with SDK:
// Use PSPaletteMenu category to add a menu item on the Window (i.e., palette) menu.
// This is currently only enabled for automation plugins.
PSPaletteMenu ="**Palette**";
However when write my PiPL res like in example below
resource 'PiPL' (ListenerResourceID, plugInName " PiPL", purgeable)
Kind { Actions },
Name { plugInName "..." },
Category { "**Palette**" }, // or Category { PSPaletteMenu }
Version { (latestActionsPlugInVersion << 16) | latestActionsPlugInSubVersion },
menu is not shown under Window menu :(
Want to note that if I specify Category { PSHelpMenu } it works correctly and menu item is shown under Help menu. PSPaletteMenu also doesn't work for Listener plugin that ships with PS SDK.
Looks like plugin is not recognized as automation plugin, but I have correct info.plist props (on MacOS X version)
What should be done to have my plugin menu item under "Window" menu?
Regards,
Mac Developer

Hi Tom, thanks for your reply. Actually I'm not asking about floating palette (which I actually created and there is no issues observed). I just need my automation (!) plugin entry point to be called with kPSDoIt ("Do It") selector action after menu item is chosen under Window menu. (like it works in case PSHelpMenu)
In the PIPL.r file that goes with SDK it states that
// Use PSPaletteMenu category to add a menu item on the Window (i.e., palette) menu.
// This is currently only enabled for automation plugins.
PSPaletteMenu ="**Palette**";
Is it documentation issue?
Regards,
Mac Developer
