My mouse works intermittently and keyboard sometimes - connects and disconnects frequently. batteries are at 100%

my mouse keeps going off while in use. screen is telling me that my connection is lost and a few moments later it comes back and screen tells me that it is connected again. also while typing in a field, the cursor goes to the right sometimes and doesn't stop. it goes and goes. The batteries are up to 100% - is this a common problem?

I have two iMac 27s and it is a frequent occurrence on both. Annoying at best. Same symptoms - full batteries and seemingly random disconnect and connects.

Wireless keyboard lost connection and blinks instead?

I have had my wireless keyboard and mouse over a year and had no problems. I turned the system off last night like usual, and this morning when I turned it all back on I can't proceed past the login as the keyboard is not paring up and I just have a green blinking light next to the keyboard on/off switch.
The batteries are okay, but to be sure I have recharged them, and the Bluetooth is working okay as the mouse is paired and working fine.
Any help, advice or solutions out there?

Hello,
this sound to be pretty much the same problem as to me

As far as I can see mostly Keyboards between Oct and Dec 2004 are involved. I would appreciate if Apple could have a careful look on this issue and take resp. actions as e.g. an extented repair or replacement program!

Just installed IOS 8 to iphone 5 and cannot connect to WI FI. Sometimes connects and when I begin to use the phone ot drops out.

Just installed IOS 8 to iphone 5 and cannot connect to WI FI. Sometimes connects and when I begin to use the phone ot drops out.
I have attempted all the regular trouble shoots such as resets, complete restore and reinstallation of ios 8. no change.

I don't have an answer for you but from my experience iOS WiFi syncing has always been a hit and miss affair (more miss than hit I'm afraid). I have gotten to the stage where I rarely use the WiFi sync. It is just quicker, easier and much less stressful to use the USB cable. I am having the same issues with all the iOS devices in our family which includes various models of iPhone, iPad and an iPod Touch and have been having them since WiFi syncing was introduced (in iOS5 ???). And then I have not even mentioned my favorite iTunes syncing messages: "Waiting for items to copy" and "Waiting for changes to be applied"!
iTunes is always extremely quick and eager to pick up the devices but as soon as I click on sync it shows "Looking for iDevice" and then the device disappears. I have found that initiating the sync from the Settings app on the device prevents this issue.
It does however seem as if it is worse with Windows 7. I did not have so many issues with my previous Windows Vista PC.
Sorry I cannot be of any help.

My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connected and disconnected. does the same with itunes. Also i'm talking on the phone and all of a sudden the other person can not hear me.

My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connecting and disconnecting. It does the same with itunes so it doesnt really sync. Also when talking to someone, all of a sudden they cant hear me.

I'm having the same issue. I went to my local apple store and they could not work me into the genius bar so i made an appointment for tomorrow morning. The clerk did check the phone for the pink indicators at the top and bottom of the phone (where you plug in your USB or headphones) He said if you can see a pink indicator dot you may have gotten it wet, or had some sort of condensation in it, which could cause the plugs to not work.
In regards to people not being able to hear you, i'm waiting for my appointment tomorrow for more news! I would recommend taking it into your local apple store for more answers.

I upgraded Apple TV late last week. Last weekend I rented a couple of movies from Apple TV. I watched one immediately, and was going to watch the other one the next day. On Sunday I opened up Apple TV to watch the film, and..... NOTHING THERE. I could see 'purchased movies', 'top movies', etc., at the top of the bar, but no mention of rentals. Even the film I'd watched (which obviously you can see for 48 hours) had disappeared into a black hole in Apple TV. I have been charged for these movie, and sent in a complaint.
My airplay seemed to be fine, but.... last night, my computer was not seeing an Apple TV or showing an airplay sing, so I restarted and the Apple TV and airplay sign returned. If I chose to watch the film on the computer it started up immediately, if I chose airplay, I got the first image of the film and the loading sign going on and on (round and round) forever. The film never started. I restarted my Apple TV, the same. I restarted the computer, the same. I tried with various programmes and no go.
iMore has the following suggestion. I am not sure if this will help. It sounds a PIA, but if I can't get airplay to work, I might try it: http://www.imore.com/how-restore-2nd-or-3rd-generation-apple-tv-back-factory-set tings-itunes

Upgraded to IOS 7 and phone sometimes rings and sometimes doesn't

Upgraded to IOS 7 and phone sometimes rings and sometimes doesn't. What's going on? I've missed several calls but my phones been sitting right in front of me (Yes, the sound switch is turned on on the side)
What's going on? Its Random!

Your phone might be on do not disturb mood... So, when it's locked, you receive no calls. If you see a crescent at the top of your screen, go to setting, do not disturb, and turn off the manual
Hope that help

You cannot install fonts or other keyboards on the iPad. You can make suggestions to Apple here.

Every time I call through face time on my I pad2, it rings and it says connecting and after that it closes and won't connect

Every time I call through face time on my I pad2, it rings and it says connecting and after that it closes and won't connect.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Error "The remote connection was disconnected because there are no Remote Desktop License Servers available to provide a license. Please contact the server administrator"

Hi,
I have been using Windows server 2012 at my company and generally take a remote access to this server. However, since last few days, I have been receiving the Error "The remote connection was disconnected because there are no Remote Desktop License
Servers available to provide a license. Please contact the server administrator".
My entire work has come to a halt because of this error as all my applications are running this server and their remote access is needed for my regular requirements.
I had tried one of the solutions proposed at one of these forums especially using gpedit.msc but to no avail.
Regards,
Aditya

Hi Aditya,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Agree with the words of armin, please verify that you have properly installed correctly. Verify RDS Licensing service running on License Server. Verify that the client, the RDS server, and the license server can communicate by ensuring that Domain Name System
(DNS) is configured correctly on each computer. You can run the ping command from each computer to each computer using the IP address, FQDN, and the NetBIOS name. If any of the ping commands fail, verify the DNS configuration on the network.
In addition, you can also try “GracePeriod” registry setting on this path (HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RCM) from
this article.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Broadband internt connectivity getting disconnected frequently

My spouse is using sony laptop and using the same wifi connectivity and not getting disconnected.

Brand new IMac 27 bluetooth mouse and keyboard not connecting for eight minutes after start up.

I have a new imac 27 that has worked flawlessly for three weeks.
All of a sudden, when starting up the mac boots fine but the bluetooth mouse and keyboard are non responsive. This state is maintained for between 7 and 8 minutes then both mouse and keyboard start working and continue doing so for the rest of the day....until the next restart and the whole saga repeats itself.
Both sets of batteries are fully charged.
I have scoured different sites and tried any suggestion that made any sense, to no avail. All I am able to do at the moment is to do the time, wait the 7 to 8 mins. and then all's good.
My first Mac and this is very annoying especially as Apple must be aware of this issue but no solution is forthcoming!
Any suggestions/workarounds would be great.
Thanks

if you are using rechargeable batteries sometimes they don't stay charged for as long as they should try using alkalaine batteries and see if the issue still persists.
also try doing an SMC reset, the following article tells how to do this:

Apple Wireless Mouse and Keyboard lose connection running games in Vista

I installed Windows Vista Ultimate for playing games on my iMac. During games the *wireless Apple keyboard and wireless Might Mouse seem to loose connection at random intervals.* Looks like the bluetooth connection is lost (?, this is a guess). After 30 to 60 seconds the keyboard and mouse work again. This does not happen when using an USB mouse or keyboard.
Any suggestions?
All drivers are updated with driver suggestions form other posts.
I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate on a 20inch 2,4GH iMac. Using Leopard Boot Camp. Wireless Apple Keyboard and wireless Might Mouse. All 2008 models.

Found a post which said;
always use a passkey for bluetooth devices in Vista using Boot Camp. Removed keyboard and mouse, reinstalled with passkey. Maybe this is helpfull.

Help! Trackpad doesn't work and keyboard sometimes does too

I have Blackberry 9320 and it already has the latest software updates before these problems occured. My trackpad suddenly doesn't work, but it can click. And the weird thing is I can still move it up and down if I open the submenu. I repeat, only if I open the submenu.
My keyboard also has some problems, when I type, it often misses some letters. For example if I type down "blackberry" it'll come out as "backbrry". So I have to erase and type it over again. Sometimes my keyboard just doesn't work at all, I can't type anything, even the non letter buttons such as the menu button doesn't work as well.
I've tried hard restart and others, but it still didn't work. And actually I've faced the same problems a few months ago, but sadly I can't remember how I solved it at all.
Thank you. I'm sorry if my English is pretty confusing because it's not my first languange.
Update: I can move it up and down now if press the Alt button, but it's still different as it used to be

Thanks for your reply. I've tried hard restart and I also had the OS re-installed, but it didn't work. I brought it to a service centre yesterday (not an official Blackberry Centre though), and the mechanic tried changing my trackpad with a new one, and cleaned my keyboard part (the one under the keytone). Those didn't give any effect too. He gave up and said maybe there's something wrong with my phone's IC and I must try bringing it to the Blackberry Centre. The problem is, the Blackberry Centre is really far from my campus and I don't have the time yet to go there, so I just want to try any possible ways to do by myself for now. Thanks.
