Page back keyboard and mouse shortcut not always working

On some pages the "go back and forward one page" functions of my mouse do not work.
Also the keyboard shortcuts ALT+left arrow and ALT+ right arrow give the same issue.
The buttons on the toolbar are functioning like they should however.
The alternative keyboard shortcuts backspace and SHIFt+backspace also work.
(but not when using google because google thinks I want to type so this is no workaround for my programmable mouse)
I tried on another computer and on that the keyboard shortcuts also dont always work.
(but mouse does, it's a cheapy mouse without software, go figure)
I can reproduce the page on which the shortcuts do not work.
Just go to google or any other website and then go to:

My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?

Q.: My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?
A.: If your wireless keyboard and mouse do not work even after changing the batteries, please try re-syncing them by following these steps.
1. Make sure the computer is on, plug in the USB receiver. Push the button on the USB receiver until it flashes blue.
2. While the receiver is still flashing, press the red connect button on the keyboard (Make sure the batteries are installed). The USB receiver should stop flashing after pressing the button on the keyboard. It may take up to 8 seconds to sync.
3. Repeat the same process for the mouse. Push the button on the USB receiver, then press the connect button on the mouse (Make sure the mouse is on).
Note: This applies to all MSI All-In-One computers that include the ES500W wireless keyboard and SW130 mouse.

"This machine has an added 4 USB ports, could this be causing a problem?
It definitely could be the source of the problem. Perhaps the PCI card was bumped loose during shipping?
Have you tried removing the card? That's where I would start.
Keep us posted.

Bluetooth keyboard and mouse will not connect

I loaded a linux iso on a usb. Loaded it on a reboot. It may have been corrupted or something, because it did not load correctly. I rebooted the computer again and now the bluetooth keyboard and mouse will not connect. How can I fix this?
Thank you.

Keyboard and Mouse pad don't work.

Can anyone help me? I figured I should come here before bringing it to a shop.
I have upgarded my ram from 2gigs to 4gigs with Crucial ram.
Though regardless if I have the new ram or old ram in, my keyboard and mouse pad don't work. There were occasions before when the keyboard would lock up for a short while, but I have no idea what's causing this.
My only thought would be that sometimes my computer would get unusually hot, but i just turn it off when that happens.
Everything else works fine, the USB ports work with keyboards and mouse's, the power chord works fine, there seems nothing wrong with the battery or display.
Thanks you for any help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Has your keyboard and mouse quit working altogether or just when the computer is hot? And do I understand that an external keyboard and mouse will work with no problems?
And I am wondering about your computer running unusually hot. Are your fans operating properly? You might want to run the extended version of the Apple Hardware test to be sure that the fans and thermal sensors are working properly. If they are not, you will get one or more error codes.
Another thing to do to check when your Mac is unusually hot is the Activity Monitor. Select "All Processes" at the top right and check for any process running that should not be which is using lots of CPU.
I don't know if the keyboard problem is related to the heat problem or not, but I would want to know what is causing the heat problem too. Over time, excessive heat can cause damage to the logic board. It could also conceivably damage the ribbon cable which connects the keyboard and I would guess that the trackpad could also be affected. So it is important to see what is going on here. If you have been experiencing excessive heat on a regular basis, this might be the underlying cause of your keyboard and trackpad problems. If so, the heat problem will have to be fixed or the other problem will recur over time.
Try the AHT and post back with any results. Also, use iStatPro to check on your fans and make sure both are running at roughly equal speeds and that they run faster when the computer gets hot.
Good luck!

T410 keyboard and mouse will not wake from 'Power Source Optimized'

'Power Source Optimized' from the Lenovo Power Manager puts the computer to sleep after a prescribed time.
To rewake it appears that one must press the power key briefly.
The login screen for W7 appears and prompts me to enter my password.
Only problem is - the keyboard and mouse refused to wake up. Could anyone tell me what the trick is?
Thank you!
Ade

if you use an external keyboard and mouse, would they work when you wake up the computer?

What to do if your keyboard and mouse are not responding

What do I do if I were just on my computer and suddenly my keyboard and mouse quit working? I had a few windows open and I was currently scrolling when it froze. I forced the device to shut down and when it booted back up, the bluetoothe setup assistant popped up asking to plug in my keyboard. All my previous windows also opened back up, but still no use of mouse or keyboard.

Could be interference, batteries are going dead or something else.
Keep a wired keyboard and mouse around, in fact one with a nice 3-4 foot cord.
I buy mine from donation places where businesses dump their old rock solid clicky clack USB PC keyboards that are build like a tank, I abuse them too all the time. Drop them, throw them around the room even.
This one I've got, it's over 3 years old and still is rock solid. Only $4 each.
Rare to get a good used mouse though, really have to buy the newer optical ones now anyway, unless one likes cleaning rollers and the ball.
You need a wired keyboard to execute the boot key commands.

Help! My Keyboard and mouse will not work all of a sudden on my G4

I am having a problem with both my keyboard and mouse. I have a graphite G4 and recently had to run disk warrior on i. I have had endless problems with this computer and even have a 2nd hardrive on it since it only came with a 10Gig. Needless to say it is all I have right now. I am running os x 10.2.2 on it and a few days after I recessitated it with disk warrior my keyboard and mouse suddenly went dead while I was on the internet. I tried pluging the two into different usb ports both on the tower and also into the flat panel mac display that it came with and nothing. I plugged in my wacom tablet and that works. i then tested the mouse and keyboard on my husband's dell laptop and they work. I cannot reset the PRAM b/c the keyboard won't work! What do I do??????

Besides removing the battery, you can do a PMU reset which will zap PRAM. See Mac PRAM, NVRAM, CUDA/PMU & Battery Tutorial
You only describe your Mac as a G4 graphite, which I believe is a G4 AGP. Here’s a diagram showing the location of the PMU reset button.

Keyboard and mouse randomly don't work after boot

Hello there, I have been having a problem lately with the keyboard. Some times after the booting process it doesn't work, forcing me to restart my laptop even 3 or 4 times before getting it to work properly.
Here is the keyboard boot process. wich has actually a problem that I can't understand clearly.
dmesg |grep keyboard
[ 2.308714] atkbd serio0: Failed to deactivate keyboard on isa0060/serio0
[ 2.959550] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input0
I noticed this error during the boot preocess, how should it be interpreted?
I'm sure in the kernel, the device atkbd is selected.
The synaptics mouse instead, doesn't work properly in X
My mouse is a synaptic touchpad and when I start x, instead of loading the synaptic device, xfce simply see it as ps/2. Also this happens randomly.
dmesg |grep mouse
[ 2.098008] mousedev: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice

HT1752 I have an old iMac (the rounded type with monitor). I need a new keyboard and mouse. Will any work? thanks for any help!

I have an old iMac for 2002....it's the rounded type that has an attached monitor. The software is way outdated (OS X 10) and I only really use now to access 3,000 plus songs and old video of the family. Both the keyboard and mouse no longer work. Am I able to use any keyboard/mouse and plug in using USB? Thanks for any help!

Most any USB mouse or keyboard should work. Borrow one if you can and just plug it in.
If the USB circuits are at fault then you can access via Firewire Target Mode with another Mac in order to get at the files.

Another alternative would be to remove the hard drive and use a USB adapter to access it as an external drive.

Keyboard and Mouse shortcuts

When I try to call up Dictionary with a shortcut it doesn't work most of the time. It seems to work in Textedit but not from highlighted text in a browser etc. Please advise.
jmf

Then, you're using a nonstandard combo. According to Safari->Debug->Keyboard & Mouse Shortcuts->*Cmd+/->Show/Hide Status Bar* as noted by nerowolfe. What happens when you use CMDCNTLD?
To activate the Debug menu, type (or copy) this command into the Terminal app, hit the return key, and relaunch Safari:
*defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 1*
To turn it off, use:
*defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 0*

Bug? Keyboard shortcuts not always working in ios 5...

So while making a number of shortcuts i wanted to use the IRC shorthand of "/me" for text replacement. This however doesn't seem to work. No text replacement occurs. Is this a bug or is it only meant to work with letters?

I have the same problem since I changed my Apple ID password a couple of days ago. I had to relogin in many apps and settings. Also photostream went crazy then, redownloading & uploading all photos.
It happens when I go to Spotlight and back home without using Spotlight, but also when I use Spotlight open a result and later go back to home screen, the keyboard will still be there waiting for me. It stays there while swiping to other screens. To resolve I tap power button (screen black) and home+slide to unlock and the keyboard is gone. Until I go Spotlight again.
My specs:
iPhone 4S 32GB
iOS 5.1
Freespace 6GB
Multitask bar is always nearly empty, I like to keep things tidy and fast.
No jailbreak
Settings:
iCloud on
Siri off
Auto lock off
Keyboard Dutch (Nederlands), no extra/emoji keyboards

G500s Touch keyboard and mouse pad not working

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers. The solution center says everything is fine. USB mouse works, as does the touch screen, just not the actual keyboard or pad.
Please help.

For additional information - i now have my keyboard working, but the touch pad is still not working. I went to the lenovo site and downloaded the elan driver again. it extracted, but once i clicked for it to install, it says No Appropriate Driver to be installed.

You can turn it off by holding down the power ON key for a few seconds.
To help you trouble shoot, we need to know the version of Mac OS X on the computer.

My Mac Mini has a password and a wireless keyboard and mouse that have been working well with bluetooth until two days ago when my keyboard stopped responding. Since I have a password on Mac Mini, I am unable to access settings to pair Mac Mini. Thanks.

Can anyone help me pair my BT keyboard with my password protected Mac Mini? I am currently unable to log in to Mac Mini since the BT keyboard has become unpaired. The wireless mouse is working. I also have an I Pad and an I Phone as well as Mac TV.
Please help!!
Thank you.
Gail

I had exactly the same issue, that the Apple wireless keyboard became unpaired, and I couldn't get past the password-protected log-in screen, because I didn't have a wired keyboard laying around.
OK folks,
Discovered by trial and error that it was the wireless mouse (not an Apple brand) that was preventing the keyboard from pairing, even though it's not a bluetooth mouse...
Here's the steps I used...
1. Disconnected the USB mouse cord from the Mac Mini.
2. Turned off the Apple wireless keyboard from switch on the back.
3. Turn Mac Mini off, then back on.
4. Waited for it to boot up as far as the password-protected screen.
5. Turned on the Apple wireless keyboard, waited for it to stop blinking, indicating (hoping) that it paired up.
6. And voila... was able to then type in the password...
7. Then plugged the non-Apple wireless mouse sensor cord back into the Mac Mini's USB port
I also immediately went in to the MacMini's Sharing options and set that up for remote management in case something else happens down the road for other problems...
Thanks though to all who suggested solutions... they may come in handy in the future.
Hope this helps someone else...
Lynda
