My wireless key pad just stops working?

why does my key pad stop working? I've four now. Has anyone else had the same problem and how did you cure it?

Thats the first thing to do. Der Brain
Unfortunately, the "battery level" always says 100%.. And there's no low level battery warning as with the mouse.
so i swop batteries with my mouse just to make sure.
So if your wireless key pad battery level is below 20% and you are running multiple programs... should you need to restart your computer you'll have problems..
Can someone at " Apple " have a look at this issue Please..
So far i've found if i un pair my keyboard before replacing batteries I can then pair up again but i must switch bluetooth on first...

Touch Pad Just Stopped Working Completely

Hello this morning my Sony Vaio fit 14 (Model Number: SVF14N13CXB) touchpad just stopped working all of a sudden. No mouse pointer, nothing! Luckily I have a bluetooth mouse. I reinstalled the driver and still nothing. I even did a system restore and still nothing. Could someone please help me with this? Thank you Bounce P.S. I have had this laptop for 7 months (bought it in January of this year - 2014) EDIT (Update): I shut my computer down and left it for a while. Turned it back on and my touchpad is working again. I don't know how, but I am thankful. I did a restart when I was having the issues but that didn't solve anything. the shut down seems to have solved it.

Pro L10: After using a wireless mouse, the touch pad has stopped working

Pro L10. After using a wireless mouse, the built in touch pad has stopped working properly. On start up the touch pad icon shows and the touch pad operates intermittently, after a few minuets the icon disappears and the touch pad stops functioning. In the control panel/mouse & or device drive I can the program operating and then disappears.
I have removed the software and reinstalled to no avail. On occasions I get a message to say that another pointer is in operation.
Can you help?

Hi
It seems that the wireless mouse or the wireless mouse drivers/software has a bad influence on the touchpad.
I dont have a proper solution for this issue. Well, you can check the Toshiba driver page for newest driver updates. If the updates doesnt solve this issue so I suggest to use either the wireless mouse and disable the touchpad with the key combination FN+F9 or to use a common USB mouse.
I assume that you dont have any problems with a common USB mouse.

WRT54G - wireless just stopped working on all devices

Hi All,
I've had my WRT54G for a couple of years and have my Desktop hard wired (to the router) and 2 laptops and an ipod connecting wirelessly succefully for the past 2 years.Woke up this morning and nothing will connect wirelessly,finding the router is intermitent and when it does it cannot establish a connection with it. I can connect the devices via the network cable directly to the router and all works fine, it's just wireless that has suddenly stopped working.
I have tried 'turning it off and on again" turning WEP off, changing WEP password etc. but nothing seems to work. Im at a loss as to why my entire wireless network/connection has just stopped working?
Any ideas?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm having a similar problem. This past month or so, the router just kicks my wireless computers off the network. Then I can't find the network at all. My work around has been to go into the wireless setting (via my hard-wired computer) and change the wireless channel from 9 to 11 or vice versa. This keeps the network connected for a day or two and then kicks us off again until I change the channel.
I've looked into the solution previously posted of upgrading the Firmware but I'm having a difficult time doing so. I'm on a Mac and the firmware downloads seem to be for PC. The other problem I'm having is that my model is WRT54GS (no version number). Should I assume this is version 1.0? I think so. Anyway, like I said, when I download the firmware for that unit, it shows up as a bin file (WRT54GSv3_4.71.4.001_fw,3.bin). I then expand it and it becomes a cpgz file (WRT54GSv3_4.71.4.001_fw,3.bin.cpgz). And back and forth, over and over again.
How can I upgrade my firmware on my Mac?

Help? My BT Wireless just stopped working (BT Mouse is OK)

Normally the wireless keyboard that came with the iMac (intel) is reliable, its about 4 yrs old now
but today - it just stopped working?
Although it shows (menu) as being connected (BT) and Batteries are at 100%, I can no longer get
keyboard output... and this applies to any running application.
Its not been dropped or mistreated - its just stopped working. I have restarted the iMac but to no avail.
I am using the older USB Keyboard as a stop gap.
My queries are;
     1. Has this keyboard just simply worn out or developed an internal fault ??
     2. Has anyone else experienced this or had similar problems ??
     3. Is there some way I can check the integrity of the BT or the Keyboards communications with the iMac ?
All help to solving this problem - will be most appreciated
Running Mac OSX 10.9.4 on Intel iMac (2CD) 8GB RAM

Hi Barry.
Thanks for your response.....
As mentioned I did restart the iMac which I believe also resets the PR (chime) during that process.
However I will try specifically zapping the PR - several times like the old days and Mac OS 9.
and come back to you

I found a way to fix it. Simply restart the dock by using "killall Dock" in the terminal.

VPN working fine.... then just stopped working!

Have posted this before, but was hoping that someone out there has experienced the same issue.
I setup the VPN on 10.6 McMini server and it worked really well for several weeks. Then all of a sudden (without any changes being made to the server) it just stopped working!
I cant get a VPN connection either on the internal network (so no routers involved here) or from external clients. Both of these worked before. Im convinced its def something to do with the server.
The error I get is PPP Server could not be authenticated.
Have tried restarting server, stopping and starting VPN service, turning L2TP and PPP of and on again, changed the shared key.. Checked the DNS with changeip and that is all good....
Hopefully soemone out there will be able to shed some light on this for me...
Here is the log from the VPN :

Eraser in CS5 just stopped working

I am working on a floor plan in CS5 Photoshop. Just basically tracing over an original document and erasing what I trace over. I do this all the time and it has been working fine. But now the eraser won't work at all. When i turn off all the layers except the background layer I can erase things, but then when I turn the layers back on, it doesn't show up erased. I've tried resetting the tool and that didn't work. I'm so confused as to why it just stopped working. Any suggestions????

1. Select the Move tool (V) and in the properties bar under the may menu check Auto-Select and make sure Layer is selected on the menu next to it.
2. Click on the spot you want to erase and watch what layer is selected (highlighted) in the Layer's panel. This is the layer blocking the area on a layer below that you want to erase.
I always use the Move tool in Auto-Select mode and when I don't want it I hold Ctrl key down which toggles the mode. So, if the Move tool is with its default setting to not auto select, you can keep it like that and just press Ctrl while clicking with it to temporarily engage the auto-select mode

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

DHCP just stopped working !?

Hi, I have Macbook Air SSD running Leopard 10.5.2 (9C7010). Boot ROM version MBA11.00BB.B03
It would appear that in the middle of the day, DHCP just stopped working. It doesn't matter whether wireless or connecting via the USB ethernet adaptor. If I want to get network connectivity, I have to manually assign the right IP address, router address, subnet mask and DNS addresses.
While I was travelling from UK to India this weekend, DHCP just stopped working - default "Automatic" network location.
It worked at home, it worked from the BA airport lounge.
When I arrived at hotel in India, I could not connect. Network Prefs reported a locally assigned IP address. I contacted their IT dept and got static IP address, router address, DNS addresses, and then everything was fine again.
In the office in India, no joy again with DHCP and it reported locally assigned IP address. Again, when I got static IP/router/DNS from our IT helpdesk, everything was fine.
Now I returned home, and it's just the same. DHCP not working, but if I assign a static IP address on my own home 10.x.x.x subnet and manually tell it the gateway address and DNS servers, everything is fine again.
I have rebooted quite a few times. I didn't install any new software or change any settings - it seems to have simply stopped working on the plane between UK and India !
Anyone else had DHCP problems like this ? Or have any idea how to get it working again ?
Cheers
The Baron.

Just got back from the Apple Genius Bar.
They booted my MBA from a separate boot disk, and the DHCP worked fine. That proved it was a software settings fault rather than a hardware fault.
They then tried deleting all the Locations from network setup, and adding a brand new fresh one. Sadly that had no luck.
They then advised me to try an archive/install of OS X from the original media. If the archive/install doesn't work, they said to come back to the Genius Bar with the install media and they will book a longer appointment
When I got home, I first created my own boot disk on a spare USB hard drive, and confirmed that if I boot my MBA from this fresh installation, the DHCP works just fine. So I am hopeful about the archive/install.
I am trying it now. If I have any luck, I will let you know. Also how painful it is copying over previous user settings, applications and so on.

Airport just stopped working

Hi Everyone,
I hopw someone has some info that might help.
I have a MacBook and PC (yuck). Both just stopped working with my Airport Extreme, and when I tried plugging the ethernet cable directly into both, nothing happened. No data was transferring.
I called my cable company and they were able to get my PC working, directly connected, but not the MacBook.
When the ethernet cable is plugged directly into the MacBook, nothing happens...no lights showing it's connected to the computer. When I connect the ethernet cable to the Airport, everything lights up, showing a connection, but I can't get the data to transfer from Airport to MacBook (or PC for that matter).
Right now, I'm hijacking someone else's wireless signal in my condo...don't really know who. So, I know my Airport card is working properly.
The tech at Brighthouse cable saod something about earthlink customers having trouble recently because of something that earthlink downloaded to them, where IP addresses wouldn't renew. I never downloaded anything, is this possible?
I'm really stumped, and frustrated because I can't connect, and it's not feasible for me to hardwire in due to the location of my cable modem. Plus, that only works with the crappy PC, and I don't want to use that.
Please, someone help...I'm desperate...and at a loss for what the problem could be!
Thank you!!!!
EDIT: I just powered up my old iBook G4, and it won't connect to my base station either
EDIT X2: I should probably add what I have already tried...I have (several times) unplugged the cable modem and Airport base station. Used Airport set up to re-set it (again, several times).

Ok MCOJerry,
Here's the scoop.
My friend called and gave me the story much like you described. Almost identical in fact.
He had called TimeWarner, who didn't come to any resolution and then referred him to Earthlink, washing their hands in the process.
A over seas tech support then spend a couple of hours, then made a call back with another tech. who also spent significant time on the phone. This time the tech reconfigured OSX a couple of times. Set up alternate location profiles, changed the DNS settings etc.
They re-assigned the IP address and forced the cable modem to init. the MAC address list. They also disconnected the Airport Extreme (the square version) connected the mac directly to the modem and forced a manual set of IP settings.
They got the mac to work with this last configuration, but of course the rest of the machines were out of luck as was the network printer.
All in all he spent six hours on the phone.
When I got 'the call' I had him give me some preliminary network stats and then had him reconnect the Airport Extreme. This yielded a dead internet connection.
So as I wrote earlier, I went over there armed with a boat load of tools & cables.
I reconfigured the mac to a normal & stable automatic type configuration. I also reset the the Airport buy pressing the reset button for 5sec. Then set up a new configuration. I made sure that the latest update was applied to the Airport extreme.
Then I logged on to the cable modem. Don't mis-understand, I did not log on to the internet through the modem. I logged on to the modem's internal web server. checked some logs and ran a couple of tests.
Then I found the problem. The real problem: The signal power level from the point of demarcation (at the pole) was so low as to be useless. Eliminating the Airport Extreme, simply removed a level of complication in the system. It also may have removed some spurious RF that may have been introduced into the network. It did not result in a resolution to the real problem.
The cable line needs to be physically repaired. Either a wet connection or a frayed shield or the line needs a booster. But the problem, which looked like a Airport extreme issue is in fact a bad cable line.
I do have him up and running on the Airport Extreme at this moment by eliminating all extraneous length from his cable line within the house. The cable modem is now located in the basement where the cable enters the house. I have an single ethernet cable running from there to the Airport Extreme. I pulled all the other electrical items from this particular power line branch (This specific circuit.) This is all temporary until the cable guy/gal arrives to fix the problem.
I hope this may help you in your trouble resolution.

Airport Extreme Card just stopped working -help!!

I've had my MacBook Pro since mid August with a built Airport Extreme Card. It has for most of the time been working fine with my Netgear router. Yesterday it just stopped working. The black bars aren't showing on the aiport, it keeps refusing to accept the WEP password.
I have tried switching the airport on and off, and have also switched off the router and re started it, all to no avail. The WEP password is correct.
I have a WIFI printer connection and the airport will not connect to that either.
This has happened once before about 6 weeks ago but I can't remember what I did, if anything, to remedy the situation.
I have 3 other laptops all working perfectly well on the system, and all printing from the printer without any problems.
Any suggestions before I and the laptop go hurtling through the first floor window?

Try resetting your MBP's PRAM ...
Reset the PRAM
o Shut down the computer.
o Turn on the computer.
o Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
o Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
o Release the keys.
