TA48312 USB Slim Keyboard and Optical Game Mouse Combo

My mouse will never work when I turn on my iMac (Lion)... Does anyone know what might be the problem? The keyboard (Macally Slim Keyboard and Optical Gaming Mouse I just purchased when my Mac keyboard got a drop of water on two keys and stopped working all togetherl) I just can't seem to find out why the mouse won't work. Thankfully I have my Mac Mouse that will plug in and then I can unplug it and plug in the new mouse, but what a hassle. I have looked on the Macally site and the Mac software site and just can't find any answers.
Anyone?? HELP???!!!

Try doing 2-3 SMC and PRAM resets back to back, instructions can be found by clicking and carefully following the directions in Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets

How can i connect a Wireless Keyboard and a Trust mouse with a brand new Mac mini?

How can i connect a Wireless Keyboard and a Trust mouse to a brand new Mac mini?

Go to the Bluetooth icon on the menu bar and select "Set Up Bluetooth Device". Follow the wizard.
Alternatively, if you haven't yet unboxed and setup the Mini, you can pair the keyboard to the Mini (and possibly the mouse). However, I would set up with a USB keyboard and mouse and pair the Bluetooth devices afterwards.

Running Boot Camp in Windows 7 with Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Magic Mouse

NOTE: I was installing a fresh copy of Windows 7 Professional on a 27" iMac mid-2010 with a Processor Speed of 2.93 GHz, a Core i7 Processor Type, a Quad Core Processor Configuration, 8GB RAM, and a ATI Radeon HD 5750 Graphics Card. I run Snow Leopard so it is a 64-bit OS. I have a Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Magic Mouse as well. In order to install Windows 7 you need a Wired Keyboard and Mouse. You will also need a Wired Keyboard and Wired Mouse to update Boot Camp.
Updating Boot Camp Assistant (VERY IMPORTANT)
First, plug in a wired keyboard and wired mouse. The Boot Camp Assistant version that came with my iMac was 3.0 so I upgraded it to 3.1 and then to 3.2. I'm not sure if only the upgrade to 3.1 is necessary, but I took it a step further. I was told by Apple Tech Support that you first needed to upgrade to version 3.1 before being able to upgrade to 3.2 These upgrades will not be found using Software Update on the Mac. However, they can be found at http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents
They also have software updates for 32-bit machines as well and MacBook Pro updates.
NOTE: Before updating the version of Boot Camp, but after installing Windows 7 and after putting in the Mac OS X Install DVD to run Setup.exe to download the Mac drivers, run Software Update for the Mac while logged into Windows 7 by clicking on Start - All Programs - Software Update for any additional updates.
Next I installed Boot Camp Software Update 3.1 for Windows 64 bit found at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1336
I then ran Software Update for the Mac while logged into Windows 7 by clicking on Start - All Programs - Software Update
Then I installed Boot Camp Software Update 3.2 for Windows 64 bit found at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL979
I then installed Boot Camp 3.2 Update for iMac (early 2011) found at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL979 but I'm not sure if this was necessary.
Once Boot Camp 3.2 has been installed I ran Software Update for the Mac again while logged into WIndows 7 to make sure I had all the updates.
Configuring a Bluetooth device on a Windows-based computer
(from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/952818)
How to make sure that the Bluetooth service is started (MY COMPUTER WAS ALREADY SET UP TO RUN BLUETOOTH, SO THE NEXT 8 STEPS COULD BE OPTIONAL)
Open the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in for Services. To do this, follow these steps.
Windows Vista or Windows 7Windows XP
Click Start, and then click Run.
Copy and then paste (or type) the following command in the Open box, and then press ENTER:services.msc
Click Start , copy and then paste (or type) the following command in the Start Searchbox, and then press ENTER:services.msc
In the Programs list, click Services.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
Double-click the Bluetooth Support service.
If the Bluetooth Support service is stopped, click Start.
On the Startup type list, click Automatic.
Click the Log On tab.
Click Local System account.
Click OK.
If you prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.
How to connect the Bluetooth device to the computer
1. First off, you need to go into Mac OS and remove the keyboard and mouse from your Bluetooth settings entirely. You'll add them back in later (see 9) below).
2. Boot into Windows using a USB connected Mouse and Keyboard.
3. Go to Control Panel – Hardware and Sound – Device and Printers – Add a Device
4. Turn on the Mouse to send out a signal and once it sees it select it to be paired to the computer
5. Run 3.) again except select the keyboard.
6. Turn on the Keyboard to send out a signal and once it sees it select it to be paired to the computer by typing in the 8 digit number into the wireless keyboard and hit ENTER/RETURN.
7. To see if everything was added go to Devices and Printers and see if they were added to the list.
8. Shutdown Windows 7 and Restart using Mac OSX. If you adjusted the Boot Camp settings while in Windows 7 you will see a Boot Camp icon in the system tray located at the bottom right of the screen. From here you can logoff and reboot in Mac OSX. If you don't, do a RESTART and hold the Option key down after hearing the GONG and select the Mac HD option while logging in. Now it's time to add back the wireless mouse and keyboard to be recognized by your Mac.
9. Go to System Preferences – Internet and Wireless – Bluetooth
10. Hit the “+” button to launch the Bluetooth Setup Assistant to find the devices sending out the signal.
11. Highlight the device found and hit “Continue”
12. Do this for both the keyboard and mouse. You will be prompted to type in the 8 digit code into the wireless keyboard in order to pair it with your computer.
13. Click on the pinwheel next to the “-“ sign to rename the wireless devices if you'd like.
I then logged back into Windows 7 to see if the mouse and keyboard were functional and had no problems. For some reason, Windows has problems pairing bluetooth devices that are already paired under a Mac OSX. Many people have updated Boot Camp, yet still were not able to pair their wireless devices because they didn't break the Bluetooth connection on the Mac side first. So both steps are necessary (1) Updating to at least Boot Camp 3.1 if not 3.2 and (2) Deleting the Wireless mouse and keyboard link while running Mac OSX before trying to pair them in a Windows OS.

I found the answers by trial and errors.
@ is obtained by CTRL + OPT + 2
# is obtained by CTRL + OPT + 3
(without shift or caps lock)
These two signs are critical and I fail to understand why this information is not readily available from the help function or from the Apple support.

Wireless keyboard and Wireless Mighty Mouse failure

Hello,
I have just bought an iMac 20" with a wireless keyboard and wireless mighty mouse.
Both the keyboard and mouse will not work properly.
I followed the installation/setup instructions and paired first the keyboard and then mouse. Then the problems started.
1. Mighty Mouse tracking is dreadful and very slow (even after adjusting mouse properties)
2. Keyboard started to drop connection and then when awoke started repeating keys (as if key stuck)
3. Keyboard then disconnected and will not be recognised when searching for Bluetooth devices nor can I pair it again.
4. When both were working the Airport extreme wireless network would be lost (but I think that this is a red-herring and irrelevant)
Interesting once keyboard stopped working the wireless mouse tracking improved.
The only software I have installed since taking the iMac out of the box are (in order)
- Running/installing all Apple updates (including firmware 1.1)
- Installing Firefox 2.0
- Installing Adobe Reader 8.0
- Installing Stuffit Reader 11.0
- Installing Canon Bubble Jet Printer driver
- Installing latest version of Skype
If I use a USB mouse or keyboard they work ok.
This is the second replace imac within 2 weeks. The first had the same problem.
Can anybody help please as I'm new to Mac's after switching from a PC and I do not want to have to chuck either the keyboard or mouse or have the pain of Apple supplying me with a 3rd replacement iMac

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Congrats on the new Mac.
Did you Repair Disk Permissions after the software updates and installs?
Whether this solves this issue for you, it is something that you should always do. Go to Apps/Ut5ilities/Disk Utility and select your OS X HDD. Press Repair Permissions. Run Repair Permissions until no more repairs are reported.

Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Mighty Mouse performing erratically

I got the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Mighty Mouse as soon as they were available and I haven't had any problems with them until a few days ago. Now, both devices will "disconnect" for a few moments (the screen will show the "Connection lost" icon) and immediately reconnect.
The keyboard usually does it so quickly that it doesn't affect my typing. The Mighty Mouse, however, will sometimes slow down to a very erratic, choppy refresh rate - something like a dusty ball mouse cca. 1994. This usually lasts for about a minute and then fixes itself.
This happens several times per hour. I've tried restarting the computer, restarting the devices (replacing the batteries), removing them as Bluetooth devices and pairing them again, turning Bluetooth on the computer on and off... nothing seems to fix this. Both devices have fresh rechargeable batteries in them, showing nearly-full charge in System Preferences.
Is this a known or common issue? Who's to blame, the mouse and keyboard or the iMac? Has anyone found a reasonable fix?
Thanks.

Hi Neven:
See my thread about IDENTICAL situation:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1235070&tstart=30
The erratic behavior is identical, except that only my wireless keyboard is misbehaving. Unlike you, it has become a major hassle for me when I am typing and my keyboard disconnects mid-keystroke. Or, I'm reviewing a website or my work and the keyboard disconnects three/four times in two minutes. Last night, for instance, I was watching something on TV in the background and I saw in amazement as my keyboard just kept disconnecting and reconnecting every 30 seconds.
Otherwise, it is same, same, same: fresh batteries, no other bluetooth devices, 18" distance from the iMAC.
I noticed this began to happen AFTER I downloaded and installed last weeks' iMAC update.
So I reiterate my comment from my own thread:
+_*APPLE, ARE YOU READING THESE POSTS?*_+
There's a ghost in the machine.

Does the imac come with a wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse?

I am buying an imac tomorrow and I was wondering if I have to pay extra for a wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse.

iMac's come with a wireless keyboard and magic mouse, as the standard fare. So you don't need to pay extra for them. I would recommend purchasing rechargable batteries and a charger, as the mouse does chew through batteries.

Keyboard and the magic mouse cannot using and pairing in win7

already install boot camp in win7 but can using in OSX

thanks I tried re installing the drivers (which were working fine before this windows update) but unfortunately it did not work. I can not access my bluetooth settings at al in windows yet it works fine on the mac side of things (I'm using them to type this)

Windows 8 USB wireless keyboard and mouse?

I have a MacBook Pro 13.3" late 2011 base model running Mac OS X 10.7.4 (Lion). I am planning on installing the Windows 8 Release Preview (64-bit). The requirements state that I need to use a USB keyboard and mouse to get the drivers going once I am in Windows. My question is whether my Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse, which connect via a USB to my MacBook, will work in Windows 8 with the same functionality so I can run the executable file to download the drivers. Also, as a follow-up question, is Windows 8 Release Preview (64-bit) a safe install for me through Boot Camp?
Thanks in advance,
Rith=Apple4Life

Really? Have you installed Windows 8 onto your Mac because in some videos I have watched, I have seen people not being able to use the built-in keyboard and trackpad until the drivers are installed by using the .exe file. Anyway, for backup, I have secured a wired keyboard and mouse just in case and will be installing Windows 8 soon. It would be nice to download the RTM version, but I wouldn't trust any source other than Microsoft itself.
Thanks,

Slim Keyboards and G5 2.7

Just purchased a slim aluminum keyboard. Since plugging it in my "corded" mighty mouse (mice...really.. I've tried several) occssionally seems to freeze. I still have the cursor movement but the mouse becomes inactive. In fact, the entire machine freezes... have to do a power down with the power button. I've downloaded the latest keyboard software but doesn't seem to help. Is this a known problem?

I have the Apple aluminum keyboard plugged into a Power Mac G5 (the last +dual core+ model) along with a Mighty Mouse. It works fine.
In case there is a bus-power issue, try removing all other USB devices except for the keyboard and mouse. Or connecting the keyboard and mouse to separate USB ports. Or, if you have a self-powered USB hub, connecting the keyboard and mouse through the hub.

Keyboards and mice or mouses

Does anyone besides moi-self think it is truly odd -- perhaps scandalous, perhaps just downright silly -- that Apple discontinued the "old" wireless keyboard before making available a "new and improved" wireless keyboard? I.e., the new, beautiful, gorgeous, sexy iMac doesn't have -- won't have for about 3-4 weeks -- a wireless keyboard. Now I've always thought it was downright dumb that such a sleek machine needed to be contrapted with wires for keyboard and mouse, but now -- we can't even pay extra for enhancing our image of sleekness! I've checked a couple retailers, and the "old" keyboards have sold out.
Furthermore, the "new and improved" keyboard won't have function or numeric keypads! Good grief. Has Apple forgotten the word "option"?
OK, that's my vent.
I do love my new iMac, which I bought for the office, being very happy with a 2 year old model at home.

What type of connection? DVI? Are you sure it is a onboard graphics Card? Most monitor failure is the result of power supply you might want to try that.

Mac Slim keyboard and Windows

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is a way to activate the keys that would usually work if I hit the "NUM" lock key. I've never used a mac and I bought the keyboard and mouse cause I like it better then anyone I have at work. Can anyone tell me how to activate them? Is there something I need to hit?
Thanks!

In the future, please search the discussions before posting, as there's already an existing thread not too far down in this forum that deals with the keyboard and Windows.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1094089&tstart=0
Either way, since there are no Windows drivers for the keyboard, currently there's probably no way to accomplish what you're looking for.

Communication problem between USB MIDI keyboard and logic

Haven't used program in a while, but ready to record a bunch of new stuff and when I started up Logic I cannot get my keyboard to send logic a MIDI signal. I don't ever remember having this happen before. I have always just plugged my keyboard in through the USB port and it works fine but there is no signal at all in the transport window where it says 'no in no out.' Usually whatever chord or note is played is read here as well as note velocity. I thought I could troubleshoot this on my own but I'm stumped. The only thing I can think of that might be the problem is that I have upgraded to 10.5 from 10.4 since the last time I've done any recording. I also have an older version of logic (7) but I don't want to upgrade as I (at one point anyway) was pretty familiar with this version and I have the book to this version. Please help!
Thanks

That seems like the most likely reason that it doesn't work now - you don't say what kind of keyboard it is, but I'd look on the manufacturer's website to see if there's a 10.5 compatible driver available.

After update ipad1 by ios5.1.1 the keyboard and installed game and ... havnot voice but music is play whil mut key is off

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
