TS3048 My keyboard will connect wirelessly but my mouse will not. I've put new batteries in the mouse and the green light is blinking but it just won't connect!!! I don't have a 'wired' mouse so I can't get into preferences etc!!! Pls help

My keyboard will connect wirelessly but my mouse will not. I have tried many times, put new batteries in etc. The Bluetooth appears to be on (as the wireless keyboard is working). I don't have a 'wired' mouse so I can't get into preferences etc. Is the mouse dead perhaps? The green light is flickering so it should be ok???
Thank you for your help

From what you say I would suggest the batteries are not connecting properly.
First, thoroughly clean all contacts, both inside the mouse and the contact points of the batteries.  Use an alcohol based cleaner (whisky will do, hic!)  dampen (not wet) cotton buds for cleaning.
Then check to see if they fit firmly.   If you can shake your mouse and hear things are loose, that will be the batteries.   Check the make.   Apple and Duracell, in that order, are the best batteries.   Where slight undersizing has been reported they are with other than the foregoing.
You can resolve the size problem with appropriate packing but that will always be a makeshift solution.  After, reassemble, turn on the mouse and with luck, away you go. 
Hopefully this will solve your problem but in any case let us know how you get on.

    If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
    If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
    Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

    Check the papers that came with your PC or the web site of the vendor. OEM versions are either on the recovery discs they provide or can be downloaded from their site.

    Re: I downloaded iOS7 but my passcode was Greek letters on the Greek keyboard. When everything downloaded and iOS7 was ready to go, it asked for my passcode and the Greek keyboard isn't coming up. I've been locked out of my phone for hours. Any ideas?

    Do you have a backup?
    You could put your phone in DFU mode by holding both the sleep/wake and home buttons till your phone reboots and then releasing the sleep/wake button. It will prompt you to connect to iTunes and you can restore ios7 from there.
    Then restore all your settings and apps from the backup.

  • Wireless mouse does not work after installing new batteries

    I have a PowerBook G4 and have been using a wireless mouse and keyboard. The batteries needed to be replaced in my mouse. I successfully installed new batteries. The mouse will turn on. The LED blinks. But the mouse is not functioning. I must use the finger pad on the machine. I double checked the battery installation and even set-up the mouse as a device again. When I turn the mouse off, I get a "connection" lost window on the screen. I have tried
    clicking the mouse to re-establish connection with no luck.
    Any suggestions?

    I had the same problem today - go to the above URL and follw precisely the instructions - after you delete the current mouse settings from your bluetooth preferences - apparently you have to sometimes reinstall the mouse after changing batteries - however I changed them before and did not need to do this
    hope this helps

  • I have a question on how guest can still get into my computer when I deleted that.  Plus took files of mine, change names in my phone book.  Lets say they are messing with me.  It is driving me a bit nuts.  Help?

    Hello, I have a question on "quest".?????     I have someone getting into my computer. I have shut of the quest... and yet yesterday all of my files were stolen.  My phone book, someone goes in and changes my phone number, and just changes so many things around.  It really has me upset.  Please... tell me how I can keep "guest"  out for good. I bought this computer for me.  Not guest, yet all I see here on the apple ways is how others can hook in, or get in to our computers. 
    Its upsetting, and  to see how you give step by step instruction to help them get into other people's computers is upsetting, yet not much on how to keep them out.  Tell me just how to keep them out for good.  I have a hacker, in mine.  Stealing things.  I have cleaned my computer out three times, in the last few weeks. I get all set up, to only three days later, even with a new list of passwords, their back again, stealing.  Please Help me  Morgiegal

    Data rate DOES make a difference, but I'd say your real problem has more to do with the fact that you're working on a Powerbook. Motion's real time capabilities derive from the capability of the video card. Not the processor. Some cards do better than others, but laptops are not even recommended for running Motion.
    To improve your workflow on a laptop will be limited, but there are a few things that you can try.
    Make sure that thumbnails and previews are turned off.
    Make sure that you are operating in Draft Mode.
    Lower the display resolution to half, or quarter.
    Don't expect to be getting real time playback. Treat it more like After Effects.
    Compressing your clips into smaller Animations does help because it lowers the data rate, but you're still dealing with the animation codec which is a high data rate codec. Unfortunately, it sounds necessary in your case because you're dealing with alpha channels.
    The data rate comes into play with your setup trying to play through your USB drive. USB drives are never recommended for editing or Motion work. Their throughput is not consistent enough for video work. a small FW drive would be better, though your real problem as I said is the Powerbook.
    If you must work on the powerbook, then don't expect real-time playback. Instead, build your animation, step through it, and do RAM previews to view sections in real time.
    I hope this helps.

    Same for me. This is a terrible bug that Apple should've thought about before releasing iOS7. I knew I couldn't have been the only one locked out because the Greek keyboard disappeared.

  • Have an old MBP. Just installed lion on it today. Previously, the computer had no password (at login, I would just hit enter so essentially the password was nothing). After installing Lion, that no longer works, and now I can't get into my computer. Help!

    Did i post this question in the right place to get an answer?

    Yes.
    Have a look at this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3189665
    It's not uncommon for some people to have a "blank" password, I did that for years. Apparently Lion has a problem with blank passwords.
    I hope the procedure in that thread works for you.

  • I have a new Airport Extreme and an old airport express.  I am getting an amber light on the new Extreme and a green light on the Express.   I have internet no problem but the status light is blinking amber

    I have a new Airport Extreme and and old airport express.  I am getting an amber status light on the Extreme and a green light on the Express.  The Extreme is blinking amber all the time.
    I have internet and everything seems to be working.
    I have reset and pulled the power cord on both the extreme and the internet block
    How do I make it Green?

    If things seem to be working OK, but the amber light is flashing......the AirPort Extreme has a message for you. To see what that might be......
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the AirPort Extreme icon
    Click on the amber dot in the small window
    It might be a message that a firmware update is available for your AirPort Extreme.
