This is way beyond annoying now!! Mouse & Keyboard phase in & out..

Both my wireless Mighty Mouse & Keyboard upon wake phase in & out for the first 5 minutes. They sync up fine at first but as soon as I touch the mouse or try to click something I lose connection. Like I said this happens for about the first 5 minutes then all of a sudden it sticks for the rest of the day. It never did this before the last mac update.
Now just today I noticed when the screen saver comes on the mouse can't wake the computer back up?? What are all these gremlins? I've read several posts with very minimal response or help from mac pro's! Does anyone have a plausible explanation or better yet a solution to the problem?

I didn't yet find a topic that exactly addresses my problem with Leopard and bluetooth but yours seems to be very close to it. Today I connected a bluetooth headset that worked very fine with Tiger on my 17" MBP, i.e. there is the same machine and the same bluetooth device as before.
Now various network applications (Mail, Safari, even Finder!) and the whole system freeze or even crash from time to time. It seems to happen when the headset is on and connected. When I click with the mouse on the bluetooth symbol in the system menu, it takes about five seconds for the menu to appear. When I open System Preferences, I see the busy cursor for about halve a minute before I can click on any icons in it.
I removed bluethooth from the list of network interfaces in network preferences but it didn't help.
I also have a bluetooth mighty mouse that I am not using at the moment but I will connect it tomorrow to test. For now, it looks to me that something is wrong with whole bluetooth functionality in Leopard.

  • Macbook Pro Updated to 10.6.7, now mouse / keyboard issues Snow Leopard

    Howdy all!
    I've got a Macbook Pro 15" 2.5Ghz Intel core i5, last night I updated it top 10.6.7.
    Now, it takes forever to boot and when it does I can move the mouse but it's no registering clicks or keyboard button presses. From what I've been able to find on the forums it was an issue with the Macbook Air, and also issues relation to itunes.
    Further, it's stopped recognising the charger cable in some cases and is difficult to charge.
    I can boot into safe mode and it works, and I'm trying to remove 10.6.7 but due to the limitations with USB I can't get it to find one, and it's not detecting disks either. I've tried zapping the PRAM but no luck.
    Like everyone in the forum I need to rectify this asap for work, and would love any advice.
    Any advice greatly welcomed, Could it be a logic board issue? Had one go on my ibook years ago and it had similar behaviour.
    Thanks in advance,
    Andy

    Update:
    Was able to install the 10.6.8 update and have functioning keyboard and mouse again which is grouse
    Now the only issue is it's not recognizing the charger cable. I've tried resetting the PRAM and multiple power outlets, any ideas here? Otherwise I suppose it could be the faulty cable itself.
    Any help appreciated
    Cheers,
    Andy

  • Bluetooth mouse & keyboard driver drop out

    Having trouble with mighty mouse and apple bluetooth keyboard dropping out periodicaly, when using windows XP. Track pad & keyboard on MacBook still work ok. Window pops up saying USB device not connected. When looking in bluetooth devices in control panel the bluetooth drivers, keyboard and mouse are missing. After short period everything comes back again. It will do this randomly and not at any specific times, even when the computer is not being used.

    Can anyone help???

    I tried to install maverick and now my keyboard keys F10,F11, 7,8,9 on the number pad don't work on my iMac. How do I resolve this?

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • HT4972 I replaced the computer I originally used to synch my iPhone. I get the message stating that my content will be erased, even though this is the computer I now synch with. Is there a way to make the update recognize the new computer?

    I replaced the computer I originally used to synch my iPhone. When trying to update to iOS5.0, I get the message stating that my content will be erased, even though this is the computer I now synch my phone with. Is there a way to make the update recognize the new computer so that my content will be kept?

    The best option is to copy your entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.  This will allow iTunes on your new computer to recognize and sync with your phone without deleting content.  You will also need to copy over any other synced data not in your iTunes library such as photos synced to your phone, calendars and contacts.
    If you can't do this, these articles will help you start syncing with your new computer with minimal or no data loss:

  • I updated my LG G3 this week and now it SUCKS!  When I'm connected to WIFI, nothing on Facebook works.  The photos and videos won't populate.  I have to turn off the WIFI and only use the mobile data. Not to mention, I really hate the way it looks now.

    I updated my LG G3 this week and now it SUCKS!  When I'm connected to WIFI, nothing on Facebook works.  The photos and videos won't populate.  I have to turn off the WIFI and only use the mobile data. Not to mention, I really hate the way it looks now.   Before I updated my phone, I really liked it, now I don't like my phone at all!  When will this be fixed? I hope it's soon.  I'm thinking of changing providers now.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • New version of iTunes,,,,,,all I see now is music option, no apps, no calendar, no contacts. is this the way it is supposed to look now?

    new version of iTunes,,,,,,all I see now is music option, no apps, no calendar, no contacts. is this the way it is supposed to look now?

    I love the new version of Grid view but some of the other changes feel like they still need some fine tuning. And I miss cover flow even if I didn't use it that often...
    You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
    Ctrl+B to turn on the menu bar
    Ctrl+S to turn on the sidebar
    Ctrl+/ to turn on the status bar
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
    Should you still feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

    What you describe sounds like a hardware issue. Unfortunately, you'll need to get that checked out by Apple. If you have an Apple Store near you, make an appointment with the Genius Bar and take the machine in for evaluation.

  • Start up error - mouse , keyboard, external HD decided to not work

    Working on setting up my new MacPro13 to replace a PC. Tried to install Retrospect backup software to do backup on external HD that had been attached to PC. Didn't have enough room on HD and couldn't erase files. I couldn't find anything in Help to tell me how to uninstall software on the Mac, so just dragged the application to trash. I wanted to simply erase the disk, but now upon startup I get the following messages: Security issue with the following startup files - library/startupitems/Icon and library/startupitems/mxbtdaemon and library/startupitems/retrorun. So I go to library and there is no file called "startupitems" although all the Help topics that come close to this problem say that there should be one. I went to preferences/accounts/login and don't see anything like this. So, what I want is for the external mouse/keyboard and HD to be seen and work; be able to erase the HD and use it for time machine.

    Hi bmorgan43;
    How is the drive formatted?
    Since it was used on a PC then it is most likely formatted as NTFS. OS X is able to read NTFS but not write to it. You will need to reformat to HFS+, by the way that will erase it.
    Did you go to the Library at the root level?
    On my Mac that is where I find startupitems.

  • Broken laptop input mouse & keyboard [xps15z] [post Syu]

    Problems:
    -laptop's (dell xps 15z) keyboard and mouse not working
    -X broken
    I am really stumped here and looking for any help / direction. I am running out of questions to ask, and would appreciate any feedback.
    What I have tried:
    -creating a new modprobe.conf,
    -merging rc.conf.pacnew,
    -downgrading to my previous udev, mkinitcpio, and module-init-tools, using the packages found in cache. remade init with
    mkinitcpio -p linux
    and keyboard and mouse still did not work
    -merged locale.conf.pacnew
    -merged pacman.conf.pacnew
    -traversed almost all of the logs multiple times (have not found a silver bullet, but not positive on what Im looking for..)
    Below I have included some notes, my relevant (dates) pacman.log, and what I pulled from dmesg that seemed related to me.
    //notes
    -usb ports work
    -when i hit keys on the keyboard while at the console username prompt, nothing types, but if laptop is a dark place, the keys back-lights actually do light up...
    -every other boot I get stuck on MUX error (error has been there since I installed arch, but only now does it freeze occasionally here)

    I'm glad that fixed your keyboard.
    Good idea about the wiki page. If/when I have time I will add something. Feel free to do so if you have some.
    I've not had the computer for long, however the core install boots and works fine, but after updating the keyboard and mouse become unresponsive, so unfortunately from my perspective, one of the updates in the past 4 or 5 months broke it! However, though I've not tried any combinations of boot parameters, the vast majority of live CDs won't even boot without acpi=off (or presumably, only acpi=noirq is actually needed, looking at your tests) so it doesn't look to be Arch specific.
    For your X problems, are you using a DE or WM, and how are you logging in? If you can disable the login manager (if present) and start an X session with startx, with say only exec xterm in your ~/.xinitrc that might help pinpoint the issue. If that works, it will unlikely be an X issue, more one of your DE/WM.

  • Wireless mouse/keyboard intermittent dis-connects

    In the last three days, I have looked at over 20 different posts regarding wireless mouse/keyboard disconnect problems. Thew fixes ranged all over the board and NONE fixed it. And, none of these problems matched mine exactly, except for one other. I too, have two iMacs and this problem has over the last few days gotten increasingly worse and irritating. Regardless of what you're doing, whether it is actual productive work, or playing a stupid game on your computer, when your mouse quits responding, and the graphic flashed on the screen "MOUSE DISCONNECTED", it irritates.
    I think a senior apple tech finally pin-pointed the problem, at least for my two systems. It has nothing at all to do with Bluetooth or Wireless networking. I tried ALL of those fixes including resetting the SMC. None fixed it.
    Here is what the tech had me do. Under System Preferences > Users & Groups > My Login, I then clicked on "Login items. I was astounded to see a list that exceeded the size of the window of "startup" programs that have been installed from iTunes Helper, to Dropbox to blah, blah, blah. You name it. He had me remove ALL of them except iTunes Helper. one item "Connect service (all users) could not be removed. However, as we later discussed, the specific item the I believe to be the culprit was "Bittorrent". I've forgotten what I downloaded that used that as the download agent, but in the future, I shall NEVER AGAIN use it for ANY reason. I also removed from the applications area, some non-used programs (that probably weren't the problem, but...), emptied the trash, re-booted and have not had the problem since. I want to stress here, that if your problem is actually Bluetooth or Wireless network related, this will not fix it. However, my mouse had gotten really molassesy in that when I would try to quickly move from one spot to another on the screen, it took some time to catch up, as if something else had control. That's what I think Bittorrent or someone trying to share one of my files was causing. I don't share my files. Period. I didn't realize that it could be subverted to that use of I wouldn't have ever used it in the first place.
    Anyway, neither one of my iMacs has exhibited ANY of the former symptoms since clearing that list on each system. Turns out, my second iMac also had Bittorrent in the list. That's about the only thing the two have in common besides Yosemite 10.10.3. Maybe this will help, maybe it won't. I sure hope it does. Forums like this one are extremely helpful to me.

    I had the same problem... didn't find anything useful in the forums.  Just on a whim, I went to the
    Control Panel | Device Manager | Universal Serial Bus Controllers
    For each "Hub", right click and select "properties"
    On each properties page, select "Power Management" tab
    On each power management tab "uncheck" the "Allow the computer to turn off..."
    I did this for the Generic USB Hubs, the USB Root Hubs, and the Reneasas...Hub.   After that was completed, all USB ports started working immediately.  So far, they are staying working but it has only been an hour or so.   Will report back if this doesn't stick.    Also, there may be a more elegant solution... but this works for now.

  • How do I turn on my wireless keyboard and make it 'discoverable'?  I got a message that the batteries were low, so I changed them for new ones and now the keyboard doesn't work.

    I got a message saying that the batteries were low, so changed them for new ones and now the keyboard cannot be 'found'. There seems to be no way to turn it on and make it 'discoverable' to the system.  At the moment I'm typing this on a spare keyboard plugged into the  back of my mac via a USB.  Please help!

    Have you checked to make sure the batteries are inserted the correct way? Have you tried to turn it on by pushing the right upper (round) edge of the keyboard - if you do that, do you see a tiny little green light? Since you have a wired keyboard, can you get to the Bluetooth setup/preference pane so you can manually try to sync the keyboard?
    PS - posting duplicate posts is not helpful - it makes things too confusing, so I've asked the hosts to remove your other (identical) post.

  • Is there any way that the magic mouse might work on the iPad?

    I just got the iPad 3 and is there any way that the magic mouse can work alone or with the keyboard on it? If not, can the mouse work with a PC?

    The magic mouse can't be used with an iPad simply because Apple has chosen not to include support for it.
    Which is fair enough. Where are you going to put this mouse in order to use it with an iPad... you need a handy flat surface... oh, I know - the iPad screen. Much easier than moving your fingertip around it.
    You would put it the same place you put the wireless keyboard.
    In fact the existing keyboard support is one of the big reasons many of us would like to see mouse support added. You see the problem is that when you use a keyboard you have to reach up and over to tap the iPad screen. By Steve Jobs own admission* the arm tires quickly when you have to do this repeatedly. In this particular situation a mouse would be more ergonomically sound.
    There is also the issue of access for the disabled. Although iOS does have many accessibility option, at present none of them help those with severe spinal damage or certain amputees. Including mouse support means you could also use devices like the "suck and puff"... A mouth controlled joystick designed for people with these disabilities.
