Problems with a bluetooth mouse and others operating systems

Hello, I have an error related to bluetooth devices.
I have on my Mac mini apart from Mountain Lion, a Linux distribution.
Steps to follow to find the error:
1. - Connect a bluetooth mouse to Mountain Lion and set it up.
2. - Reset the mini, start with Linux and also configure the mouse.
Now the mouse works fine on Mountain Lion and Linux.
Start again with Mountain Lion, you will see that the mouse does not work, but the system has added and configured.
That mistake I've seen for the first time in Snow Leopard, Lion has continued and now with Mountain Lion.
The only way to fix it is to connect a USB mouse, remove the Bluetooth mouse and add it again.
The configuration fails again when using the mouse in Linux.
Tested on another Mac (Mac-Pro) with the same result.
(I tested it with a Dell BT Travel Mouse and a Magic Mouse)
Regards

First, excuse my poor english
It's not offend, but I understand that at the time that Linux is off, and OSX is on, is OSX which is not able to work with the mouse.
I do not know what is the reason for which the operating system is not able to operate the mouse, even if it is paired and authorized.
The system also says that the mouse is working properly, when it is obvious that it is not.
Moreover, the Bluetooth preference pane is completely slowed and functioning incorrectly.
And finally, to comment that the mouse works properly on Linux after having done in OSX ..., which shows that the problem is OSX.
If I open this post is for someone to try and investigate.
Would be nice if Apple released a patch as it is clear that something is not working well in OSX.
What I did not expect was to listen that having a Linux through the middle, there is no problem.
regards

Why I had no problems with the VZW employees and other people have?

I think that most people who cannot resolve problems with the VZW have an attitude problem.
Wise saying: you can get more with honey than with vinegar.
Since I “upgraded” my old Samsung Sway to a new Samsung Intensity III, in the past three weeks I spent many hours dealing with the VZW store employees, customer service reps, and tech support people. The phone was replaced two times, and I had no problem getting the replacements.
The third phone did not working how I expected.
Today I called VZW customer service and said I don’t need anymore trouble shooting and I wanted find a resolution, which will be satisfactory to both of us. After a short conversation with a customer service rep, I was connected with a tech support. I told him that I don’t need any more trouble shooting on the Samsung Intensity III because I already spent HOURS doing that on three devices.
We spoke about what the VZW could offer me, about replacements with different phones, etc. Our conversation ended with me offering the resolution that could satisfy me, which was to keep this phone and my account will be credited for the $30.00 “upgrade” fee and I will buy Samsung Sway on eBay. NO PROBLEM.
My account was credited and I was advise about the ESN number and activation.
Why I had no problems with the VZW employees and other people have? The answer is simple. I did not have attitude when I was spoke to them.
So if you want the problem to be resolved, put your anger in you pocket before you start the conversation. You can say that you are angry, frustrated, etc like I did, but add that you understand that this is not their fault that the manufactures makes a crap phones.

Yes, you are right. I lost my upgrade. Also, it’s true that I could buy the phone on eBay… if I knew then what I know now. In the past, I never had problem with any of my phones. Doing an upgrade with the VZW was a normal thing for me. I didn’t expect that Samsung Intensity III would be a junk phone. My last upgrade was 4 years ago. I had $50.00 ‘new every two’ credit on my account, which was used for an upgrade. I lost the $50.00 credit paying for Samsung Intensity III. Sometimes we learn from our mistakes or from a bad experience. Three weeks ago I did not know that I could buy a phone on eBay and activate with VZW without paying $30.00.
Samsung Sway is coming from …eBay – keep your fingers crossed for me.

Problems with Apple Wireless Mouse and Keyboard

Last week my keyboard started repeating letters and not responding and the mouse started acting like an old mouse with a dirty trackball. I searched many message boards and got no help for my specific problem. I'm on a PowerPC G5 running OS 10.3.9.
Batteries are good. I have run both a hardware test and disk utility with no problems found. The problem seems to have shown up after an apple software update. Don't know if that could have caused some sort of system incompatibility problem.
Since both mouse and keyboard work with my powerbook, I don't know what else to do. I have re-paired both mouse and keyboard and had some problems with them showing up. I also have shut down the system, unpluged everything and started up again but nothing has worked.
If anyone has an answer I would be really greatful. Please help. thanks

Hi again,
No, I had not even thought of that. I just unplugged it and plugged it back in and the problem may be fixed!!!!!
Since the problem is intermittent, I'm not sure yet. The worst trouble I've been having has been in trying to drag things across the screen and I have just been able to do that with several windows.
Yeah!!! I think you may have done it. I will keep this thread open for a while but I think that was it. You my friend are a genius! I'm a bit embarassed to have not thought of that. I didn't even remember that that antenna existed.
thanks sooooooo much.

Any problems with Adobe CS5.5 and the Maverick system?

Has anyone had any problems with Adobe CS5.5 and the new Maverick OS? I don't want to install if there are issues. Thanks!

First thing I would suggest is to upgrade your server OS to a newer version if possible. Secondly try removing the apps out of the allowable apps list and instead change it so that you allow the apps that are within the specific application folder, ex: Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5
I had similar problems with CS5 apps and by adding the apps by allowable folder instead it corrected my problem. Granted, if you have savvy users, there is the potential to open a can of worms here but it was the only way I could get it to work for "standard" non-admin user types.

Problems with HP Bluetooth Mouse x4000b with HP Elitebook laptop

Hi - I bought an HP EliteBook laptop earlier this year and a few months ago purchased a HP Bluetooth Mouse x4000b (after losing a different mouse during travel). I've had terrible problems, almost since the beginning, with the mouse just not working. Sometimes it works if I switch the batteries (flip the positions of the existing ones) but that tends to last only for a short time. I replaced the originally batteries (which were supposedly good for 9 months) after just 3 months; and have just replaced the replacements and the problem is still unsolved. I've checked the drivers; I can't find a power setting for Bluetooth on my HP laptop (someone with a Dell had that). I've turned the mouse off, rebooted, turned the mouse on and reconnected; I've tried turning the mouse off and on again; I've tried to ensure that the batteries are in snugly with the plastic piece that sits over that batteries inserted as far back into the body of the mouse as possible (replicating the setup that I found when I first opened the mouse up to deal with this problem). Any suggestions? Or can anyone suggest a better mouse?

Hello ayd135,
It is helpful if you would post the full model number of your Elitebook please.
Read through this HP Bluetooth manual to see how to use the HP Wireless assistant to help troubleshoot issues.
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c01948661
Read through the info above first and try the steps.
If this still does not solve the problem, then it sounds like you have a faulty mouse considering the battery issue you described. In which case, the only fix would be to replace the mouse.
Pundravac,
Even though you have an Elitebook also, your's could be a completely different issue. Did you install all the latest drivers for your old XP machine after installing Windows 7 on it?
Please post your question in a new thread and post the full model number of that laptop also.
Thank you.

7.1 does NOT solve 5.1 downmix problem with Panasonic SDC-HD1 and others...

Howdy...
Just an FYI: Cameras that record AVCHD in 5.1 surround (such as the Panasonic SDC-HD1 that Steve Jobs was touting at his keynote) still are not correctly downmixed in iMovie 7.1 or FCP.
The sound still defaults to Mono with 1 channel being being loud and the other very quiet, as opposed to downmixing correctly to stereo from 5.1 (or even staying in 5.1 for FCP... D'oh!)
Lots of nice fixes, but not for this bug...
Best,
Ben

I also have this problem here
I've tried to playback all those AVCHD in windows, they work fine, but mac just ***** with AVCHD
I tried to convert those AVCHD to DVD videos, which playback fine in windows, but the audio in mac just *****. (Even just playing back a DVD made from AVCHD!)

Problems with IPod turning on and other things.

Recently I turned on my IPod shuffle and the green light goes on. I am thinking, great, it is working, but then the light won't turn off and because of it I can't press play or use any other buttons available to me. Somtimes where that green light goes on it flashed, green, orange, green orange, or somthing like that. Also, I have charged the thing and when I pressed the button on the back to display the battery charge no lights came on at all. Anyone knowing how to fix the problem and their help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Also, when I went into my computer, and wanted to see what was in my IPod, it said there was a hidden file that I don't know how to remove, so yeah.... Help would be greatly appreciated.

Problems with flash content (MySpace and other sites)

For the past few months I have been unable to view any media content on MySpace (videos, music) and a couple other sites. This is a real annoyance as I am a music reviewer and I can't listen to much of the music people want me to check out since it's usually on MySpace.
I've tried uninstalling Flash Player and reinstalling it. I also uninstalled and reinstalled Shockwave. Nothing works. I'm using Firefox 3.0.10 but it also fails to work on Safari. Works fine when I view the site on a PC.
I keep searching for answers and coming up with nothing but "Install the latest Flash Player" which I have...

I've tried uninstalling Flash Player and reinstalling it. I also uninstalled and reinstalled Shockwave.
Did you repair permissions and restart your computer afterwards? Make sure you have installed Flip4Mac, VLC Media Player and Perian.
Also, make sure you are using the latest version of Quicktime as well as Flash Player and Shockwave.

Power Manager and other operating systems

I'm looking to run Linux on my T410. I currently have my power manager in windows set to charger my battery to a max of 70% and start when it is below 60%. I did this because I'm usually plugged in (If I'm not the laptop is asleep or I'm not using it for too long so the loss of battery time isn't that important) and I would like to preserve as much battery life as I can. My question is, how are these settings saved, and if I were using Ubuntu, how could I keep my battery charging like this. I didn't see any settings in Ubuntu to only have my battery charge to 70%, so I don't know what to do.

The settings will be written to a chip in the battery while "Shut down" the computer (but not "Restart"). So the values should be kept while using Linux. But i don't know the behavior of the charging values at shutting down Linux.

Bluetooth mouse and keyboard do not work

I purchased an iMac G5 about 6 months ago. I got it with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard. I have had trouble with it from day 1. Apple had me replace the logic unit, and it worked for a couple of weeks. Then as soon as the 90-day warranty for complimentary service ran out, it began working sporadically. Now it doesn't work at all. It says I don't have a bluetooth module installed or attached to my computer (which is what it said before the logic unit was replaced. The computer works fine with a USB mouse and keyboard. Had I known bluetooth was so tempermental and difficult, I sure wouldn't have got it with my computer.
Unless there is a smart person out there who knows what is going on, I guess I need to buy a new USB keyboard and mouse. Anybody interested in buying a bluetooth keyboard and mouse cheap?

Russell,
The warranty period on your mac is 1 year. The complimentry phone service period is 90 days unless you have a hardware problem. I'd say you likely have a hardware problem and will not be charged for the phone call.
I'd suggest 2 things:
1. Sign up for Applecare as has been recommended countless times.
2. Make the call to tech support and see what they say about your problem.
Good Luck,
John

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!

iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer.

Is there a fix for Bluetooth failing after 1-2 hours of play on my remote audio speakers? It sounds like "gargling". It occurs with all bluetooth speakers and quitting and restarting bluetooth is the only remedy I've found. Others?

8-doing a factory reset, then repeating steps 1 through 6
Do you mean a restore to factory settings?. If so did you set up as new or restore from back up afterwards?

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words.

When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words and looks them up via dictionary. I currently have a wireless mouse connected and I am still having the same problems.
I fee like I may have a virus or my laptop is perhaps being accessed remotely. All of the sharing options are unchecked.
HELP PLEASE
Very worried!!

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

Still problems with Toshiba Bluetooth Adapter under Windows 7

Hey there, it's me once again.
I refer to my thread "Bluetooth Problem under Windows 7":
I thought after the solution from bluecat my problem was solved. But it's not really.
After installing the Windows Hotfix, it worked just shortly. But now the problem is the same.
When I delete the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack and try to work with the Windows Bluetooth Manager, I see, that the Bluetooth icon is coming an going on the task bar. In device manager I said Windows, that it doesn't shut down the device to save energy. But I think the device is turned on and off and on and off...
I really have absolutely no idea what the problem is, but I am becoming terribly angry.
Details:
Windows 7
Dell Wireless Bluetooth Internal Adapter 350 (but it's made by Toshiba)
Drivers tried out: Vista Profile Pack from Dell Homepage (no stack installed, just driver) / Toshiba Bluetooth Stack (the latest version)
This is the old Thread:
Dear all
Just as I installed Windows 7, my Bluetooth mouse and keyboard don't work fine.
I use the Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth Internal Adapter, Logitech MX1000 mouse and keyboard and Toshiba Bluetooth Stack 8.00.02.
To connect the devices with my Computer, I firstly must disconnect the Bluetooth adapter by pushing Fn + F2 on my Dell i9400, after re-connecting I can search and connect the devices correctly. They work fine as long as the notebook is running.
After rebooting the notebook, the devices don't work anymore. They are still listed in Bluetooth Stack as known, but not as connected. Therefore I have to disconnect the Bluetooth adapter another time and re-connect it to be able to connect the two devices.
I firstly thought, that it's a Windows problem. I thought that Windows is able to put down the adapter to save some energy. But when I go to the Device Manager, there is no box for this option as known from other devices (f.e. USB-Ports). So this is not the problem. I think the problem is something else, maybe done by the Bluetooth Stack.
Under Windows XP this all worked perfectly. I used the same hardware and also the Bluetooth Stack by Toshiba (downloaded on the Dell Homepage).
Anyone some ideas?
Thanks!
Daevu

Hey there
Yesterday I made Format C: and installed Windows 7 new.
I did not install any bluetooth driver for my Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth Adapter (made by Toshiba).
And now: The mouse and the keyboard are working. I even do not see them anywhere in my system, but they are working.
There is no bluetooth adapter in my device manager and I had not to connect the mouse and the keyboard with my computer. It's simply working without doing anything.
I don't understand this...
Is this a save connection?
What I've tried already:
-> Installing newest Bluetooth Stack from Toshiba. Problem seen in the message above. I also installed the MS Hotfix. Same problem.
-> Installing "Vista Profile Pack" from Dell Homepage, recommended for my notebook and Windows Vista. There is no stack installed. So I had to connect the mouse and keyboard via Windows Bluetooth Manager. But the adapter was made on and off by windows, the icon in the taskbar came and went and came and went. Connection is 1 minute good, then some seconds away. Not possible to work with the mouse.
And now without installing any driver it's working. Am I stupid?
