This has to be a Mac OS X driver issue - My Bluetooth Mouse just this secon

My Bluetooth Mouse just this second stop working.

My Bluetooth Mouse just this second stop working.
And? Are you expecting someone to be able to diagnose and solve the problem for you based on that statement?
Why are you so certain it "has to be a Mac OS X driver issue"? Have you done something to the Bluetooth system software +"just this second"+ which has caused it stop working?
Some other possibilities are:
• Batteries could've run out.
• Bluetooth hardware in the mouse could've failed
• Bluetooth hardware in the Mac could've failed
• Bluetooth preferences could be corrupted
• Mac and Mouse may have lost their "pairing" info
Unfortunately as you've not provided any information about the problem whatsoever, not even told us what brand or model of Bluetooth mouse you're referring to, or mentioned *a single thing* you've tried already to resolve this, its impossible to help any further.

  • Serious Mac Mini DVD Drive issue!

    Ok guys, having big troubles with my Minis disc drive at the minute!
    Heres what happened…
    Tried to copy some files off a DVD so that I could make several copies of it for my grandfather. The Disc is a home made one that he made himself, complete with a label over the top of the disc.
    When I put the disc in, it was a little noisy, but nothing unusual. When spinning the disc to take the files off however, the whirring became a loud vibrating/grinding noise, and went on for quite some time. It then slowed down, until it eventually stopped. At this point, the DVD drive itself (and not the Mac!) started playing an on off tone that sounded less than happy. Sounded quite similar to an alarm of some kind. Strangely it was clearly a hardware noise, and not a software noise.
    Pressing the Eject button on the keyboard did nothing, reboot, the warning tone continued, and only after pressing the on and off button twice to get it to hibernate then wake up, did it want to spit the disk out.
    I just put a standard film DVD in now to see if the drive was working, it took it in quite happily, whirred away fine, no horrible noises, but didnt find the disk, and now wont eject it for love nor money.
    When going into System profiler to see if the Disc drive has some osrt of error status or anything hardware related messages, it causes System profiler to crash. All the other menu items work fine, but going to disc reading crashes it everytime

    I think the lesson here is: DON'T use labels on discs (or tell your grandfather not to!)
    You may have damaged your disk drive. If you are OK with computer maintenance, you can change it yourself for just the cost of a new one - £30-£40 from eBay - much, much less than getting Apple to do it.

  • Problems installing windows on a clean Mac Pro internal drive - issues and questions

    Hey,
    I have a Mac Pro mid 2010 with the following drive configurations:
    3x120GB SSD in a RAID-0 as Boot (OS X 10.8.6) and SSD Scratch (working files)
    3x4TB HDD in a RAID-0 as Master (data) and HDD Scratch (downloads)
    1x100GB SSD (Spare...to install windows on)
    I have literally tried every possible way of installing Windows 8 on that single SSD...both using bootcamp and without.
    I can get it installed and working, install all the drivers/updates/software...involving multiple reboots into windows. Everything seems fine, and i shut down and boot into OS X, which works perfectly as expected. BUT, when i try and boot into Windows again (using <option> key at startupand selecting the windows volume, called "EFI Boot" which i did not name) I can log in and start using apps and then 20-40 seconds later i get the BSOD.
    I can't for the life of me figure out why.
    It's the easiest thing in the world to partition a single OSX drive to boot windows ON THE SAME DRIVE, but i can't seem to boot stably into a standaloe internal drive.
    NOTE: I prepare the Windows drive by formatting the entire thing to "Free Space" using disk utility in Mac OS X, and can see that there are no partitions (EFI or otherwise) on the drive. Then I pull all the other drives except the target drive, reboot with a Windows 8 USB drive (created by BootCamp Assistant on my macbook air, because apparently some genius thought that task was too complicated for a Mac Pro...jks) and install from there.  The funny part is that i can pick out the target drive in the windows setup, it's registering as 1 disk/partition of UNALLOCATED SPACE, as expected, but there is a warming that windows cannot be installed on this drive because my computer does not support booting to this disk, and that i should check that it's controller is enabled in the BIOS.....which to the best of my knowledge is not used by intel-macs, which use UEFI. But i can still click "Next", so I do and install Windows and boot to this drive, restarting and installing software updates and drivers as mentioned above.
    The BSOD seems to pop up only after i've rebooted to Mac OS X and then try to go BACK to Windows 8.
    The version of windows 8 and install USB were checked using my macbook air, and they work flawlessly. ASLO that warning about not being able to boot to the drive during windows setup isn't present.
    I'm wondering if the fact the the RAID volumes are a software RAID, using Disk Utility in OSX is causing windows some issues...which makes no sense.
    I'll keep playing, but I'm not confident I'm ever going to find a solution.
    Somebody be my hero...

    Hey Hatter,
    Another question for you:
    I can't seem to use system preferences>>startup disk to boot into windows. When I select windows and then restart i get a black "BIOS-like" screen which then cuts out and a message is displayed that says "there is no bootable disc"
    This stumped me, because I know i can boot into windows from the boot screen (holding down option and selecting "EFI Boot" which apparently is what my windows drive is called.
    because of my Mac OSX Raid arrays, i had to install windows by formatting a drive to HFS+ (GUID) pratition table, then repartition to "Free Space" then using an install usb that i made with my macbook air, pull all my other drives and install by selecting the usb drive to boot from.
    I went into disk utility to see if I can repair the disk, and disk utility says that the disk has to EFI partition and that we won;t be able to boot from it....which is very confusing because i can boot from it.
    Windows 8 apparentl;y uses UEFI from my research....so i'm utterly stumped.
    I beleive this is also the cause of my newly purchased graphics card Mac Edition HD 7950, throwing me a BSOD when i select to boot in windows from the boot menu...
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • I have purchased a mac mini only to find I am unable to run Logic pro 9 , is there any way this can be achieved? It has been suggested that I partition the drive and install a copy of an older operating system to run the Logic Pro, is this feasible?

    Only with a whole lot of effort and instability.  As the new Minis have
    hardware (HD4000, USB 3.0, etc.) that is totally unsupported in old OSes.
    The only option would be to see if it would work by installing in a virtual machine
    running 10.6.8.  I'm sure there will be some performance hit but whether it would
    be enough to be unusable is the question.

  • Is the iPad and iPhone affected by this malware virus that has infected all these Macs?

    I am wondering if this malware that has infected so many Macs has also made iPad and iPhone vulnerable?  Could my iPad be infected and how do I check to see if it is or how do you fix this?

    I'm not going to post  links just so you can have fun mocking. You're a big boy, go read. Something anyone knew had to happen eventually, hackers have gotten tired of zipping into PC's and are turning their attention to Macs. Give it a few years and they'll find a way too poke a hole into Android and iOS and Linux....bored folks with nothing better to do.
    Any 'panic' is to be expected especially since Mac has always been very superior in it's 'don't get viruses/less vulnerable to viruses' stuff. Well, that's not because they were never vulnerable, just because hackers have always focused on the larger target base, PC's. But now that Mac market shares are growing, they're a bigger target. Just as tablets will become a bigger target as more and more are put into use.
    There will eventually be an iPad virus. May take a few years, but someone will do it if for no other reason than to brag that they did.

  • A have new problem that has appeared in my Mac Mail.  When I type a frequently used email into the 'To: line' it populates the correct name but with 8 different email addresses not associated with that name.

    A have new problem that has appeared in my Mac Mail.  When I type a frequently used email into the 'To: line' it populates the correct name but with 8 different email addresses not associated with that name.  I have gone to the window pop-down to 'previous recipients' and deleted that addressee as well as all the email addresses it is assigning to that name.  I have also deleted the account entirely from my address book.  I have have run repair permissions and also full defrag in iDefrag.  Still the problem persists.  Any suggestions?

    Hello CarolineLongEaton,
    I noticed you posted this problem quite a while ago and wondered if you managed to have it fixed in an alternative way then posting here. It is too bad no one has posted a solution here. I have a similar problem and if you have had yours solved since this occurance how you accomplished it may help me with mine. I am interested to know what you have done about yours.
    If you are interested in comparing the problems to see if your solution (if you have found one) might help me also then here is the link to the discussion.

    What is going on with Lion??? Something has happened to my Mac Pro since I got Lion!  I cannot save documents in Word, or at least if I do I have no idea where they are after I save then, Word does not know either! I have never seen this before? As a conseqience I have lost files despite saving them in the usual way......God knows where they are! In the middle of all this I am suddenly asked for my Mobile Me password,,,,,in Word??? What is going on? Help!

    Update to latest patched version that no longer relies on Rosetta and PowerPC
    Visit www.RoaringApps.com for a list and table of what version is supported, can be updated and which are not.
    A year ago this was news.
    Hopefully people kept a boot drive with the old OS so they could dual boot for a month or two whiile sorting out the changes and updates.

  • PSE 13 solves "Error: Licensing has stopped working" on MAC OS X 10.10.2?

    After some years using my reliable PS8 I've got this nasty message and I am unable to work since then.
    I've been working on solving the "Error: Licensing has stopped working" on MAC OS X 10.10.2 for a while without success.
    Does PSE 13 solves the problem? I just want to be sure that if I buy the new version it is going to work or if I am going to lose another US$ 99 on a piece of software that requires more "MAC OS X" expertise than I have.
    Any help, clue or piece of advice is welcome.

    Thank you, but it is exactly the paper I've been trying to follow.... I can't go through solution 2 because I got an error when using “sudo python “.
    After trying for some days I am thinking about buying the newest version (PSE 13), I just want to be sure I am not going to have the same error.... ;-)

  • What is the easiest way to tell if your time capsule has backed up your hard drive, as my mac has been recalled for a replacement hard drive

    Your views would be appreciatted, my imac has recently been recalled for a replacement hard drive, would it be easier just to purchase a external hard drive to be on the safe side for backing up my photos etc?
    I have a 1GB time capsule but to be honest not sure how it operates it states it oldest back up is the 11th October
    201GB of 998 available or would it best to buy a external hard drive and back up using this.
    thanks
    Benjoe08

    You are very wise.. !!
    It can be awfully hard restoring the Mac from TM.. as many posters here have discovered.
    IMHO.. for certainty.. get an external drive.. they are not expensive.. do a full backup to it.
    I would even download superduper and make a clone of the existing drive and boot from it.. this means when the Mac is returned if all else fails.. you can use the external clone as a boot and have exact OS as you have right now.

  • Magic Trackpad - 2 finger scrolling has stopped working in Mac Mail - works in Safari

    Hi,
    I've been happily using a Magic Trackpad for a couple of years but just recently the two finger scrolling has stopped working in Mac Mail. It still works fine in other apps eg Safari so this seems like a very odd problem ie I can't imagine you can configure it to work in one app and not another! Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    Thank you merleau.  I had the very same problem and found your solution perfect. This helped me tremedously.

  • Mail 6.0 has duplicate "On My Mac" folder structures

    Having upgraded to ML 10.8 this morning I notice that Mail has two "On My Mac" folder structures below Archive, one is immediately below Archive (i.e. the top of the sub-tree) let's call it 1st instance, followed by iCloud, then the 2nd instance of an "On My Mac" folder structure.
    From the erratic behaviour of the disclosure triangles in the 1st, this would appear to be the unwanted child. Click its triangle and the 2nd structure opens.
    Now click the Archive disclosure triangle twice, once to close it all up, the 2nd click gives both "On My Mac" structures open to the first level, iCloud is unaffected. Repeat this operation and both "On My Mac" structures are closed up.
    If you do open a sub-folder in the 1st instance, any subsequent click of the triangle is ignored, even in the other instance.
    The 2nd instance is completely consistent in operation as would be expected under normal circumstances.
    Closing and reopening Mail just remembers the current expanded state, the only consistent reset is achieved with the Archive close/open double manoeuvre.

    Hmm, this was happening back in 2007, but the drag it out and back solution doesn't seem to work this time

    Update, I think I've solved it for myself.
    Previously, I had created a local folder called Archive. iCloud also comes with a default folder called Archive and Mail 6.0 was showing my local archive and combining it with its iCloud version, rather like the way that calendars and contacts get doubled up when your local stuff is mirrored on iCloud.
    Having taken a backup of my local archive I trashed the lot, everything from the 2nd "On My Mac" tree downwards and then the other two sibling trees, the 1st "On My Mac" and "iCloud" just disappeared as well.
    So my recommendation is don't use "Archive" as a local folder name.
    I later created a test folder called "Local" and selected its location as "On My Mac". "On My Mac" is now listed in capitals, in a lighter grey colour, with the Hide/Show popup choice to its right. This is your local storage area, away from iCloud and Apple's little helpers :-)

  • My iMac has MS Office for mac 2011 and I want to get it onto my iPad 4. How?

    My iMac has MS Office for mac 2011 and I want to get it onto my iPad 4. How?

    This is not possible.
    Apps for the Mac are for Mac conputers only running Mac OS X only. iDevices use Apple's mobile OS iOS. They are not cross compatible OSes.
    You would have to use the App Store on your iPad to see if Microsoft has done a scaled down iOS version of Microsoft office for Apple iDevices. I am not sure if they have or not.
    The only Microsoft-like office apps for your iPad that are on The App Store for your iPad is Apple's own Pages, Numbers and Keynote.
    Good Luck.

  • Since update of my MAC my Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my MAC to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud.

    Since update of my Mac Book Pro my previously drafted Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my Mac to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud. Also since the update Notes no longer appear as a folder in "Mail" but are now a distinct programme-is there any way of returning Notes to the Mail programme?

    Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
    Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?
