TS3048 Wireless keyboard turns on but can not type.  Can not do any of the trouble shooting I read about because I can not type my password .... Please Help

The Apple wireless keyboard will not work.  Batteries are new, light is on & goes into search mode.  Worked fine yesterday, today - wont type.  Can not do any of the troubleshooting I read about online because I can not type my login.  Is there a lock key I may have hit by accident and can unlock?  The bluetooth is working because my wireless mouse works...Please Help

I was just researching the same problem and found this info :
"I figured it out, i had "mouse keys" on.
To fix go to Preferences>Universal>Mouse> MouseKeys and click off"
sure enough I had the 'mousekeys' on and turning it off - keyboard now working
hope this works for you

    My ipod touch is not showing in itunes therefore, not syncing. I've gone through the trouble shooting steps about 5 times.

    Did you try here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    Next try on another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

  • TS4268 Ever since I uploaded i0s7 I haven't been able to receive I messages or face time. I have took it to the apple store and they couldn't figure it out. I have also followed the trouble shooting from I tunes and still can't get it working

    Hi,
    Strikes -
    Go into compositionReady and have 3 variables you will be able to set them like this
    strike1 = 0;
    strike2 = 0;
    strike3 = 0;
    So on the wrong item click have
    if(strike1 == 0) {
    PLAY STRIKE1 ANIMATION
    strike1 = 1;
    else if(strike2 == 0) {
    PLAY STRIKE2 ANIMATION
    strike2 = 1;
    else if(strike3 == 0) {
    PLAY STRIKE2 ANIMATION
    strike3 = 1;
    So this will make it so when the wrong item is clicked each strike will be played in order.
    Random Scrolling -
    You should look into the Math.Random function to make things random in edge.
    This is an example of the Random function. It will generate a random number up to 100.
    var random = Math.floor (Math.random () * 100);
    Lose Screen Score -
    So we can create another variable in compositionReady for the lose score.
    score = 0;
    Now when the user gains a point to add to the score you could do this code on the click
    score++;
    which would add 1 to the score, However you can add however much you like to the score doing "score + 2" and so on.
    To edit a text with the score at the end which I'm assuming you will want to do you will use .html
    so $("Text").html("You score is " + score);
    I hope this helps!

  • TS3048 wireless keyboard will connect but pairing is unsuccessful

    My brand new wireless keyboard will connect but pairing is unsuccessful. OS X version 10.6.8. Any ideas of what the problem is?

    I'm a bit confused, the keyboard must be first paired in order to connect.  What do you see when you use System Preferences > Bluetooth > click the "+" icon to add a device.

  • My mac will turn on but it wont load.It just sits there on the white screen trying to load. What can I do?

    My Mac will turn on but doesn't load. Its sits on the white apple screen trying to load. Is there anything ican do to fix it?

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • Some of the keys on my keyboard do not work.  I've run through the trouble shooting tips and still no solution.

    Wireless keyboard - Not all Keys work.  For example: the top F1 through F12 and the right side shift key do not work. 
    Any thoughts?
    Thank you in advance. 

    Fast answers:
    1. Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM and SMC. Doesn't usually 'cure' keyboard problems you report, but it costs nothing and only takes a few minutes.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3819550?start=0&tstart=0
    2. Try plugging in a USB keyboard. Doesn't absolutely have to be a Mac keyboard. A PC keyboard will work for a test. If the typing problem does not occur with the USB keyboard, you have a temporary solution until you can arrange to visit a repair facility.
    3. If your MacBook is older and has a user-removable battery, shut down the computer, remove the battery, and examine it for signs of 'bulging' or swelling. Then connect the computer to the Magsafe power supply, without reinstalling the battery, and turn it back on. If the keyboard problem has gone away, it was likely caused by a swelling battery.

  • Although I am logged in as an admin, I can't check for updates or update Firefox. I'm on a Mac and would rather not delete this version and just reinstall the new version bc I don't want to lose my bookmarks. Please help - thanks.

    I need to update Firefox to the latest version, but check for updates is grayed out. I am already logged in as an admin for my computer (it's a Mac), but my computer is telling me that I don't have permission to update Firefox. How can I update Firefox? I don't want to delete and reinstall because then I will lose my bookmarks.
    Thanks!

  • Is the upgarde to 4.3.3 worth all of the trouble i am reading about i am down loading now but not updating

    up date question

    If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
    First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
    If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
    If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
    If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

  • TS3048 My MacBook OSX 10.6.8 detects the wireless keyboard apple A1255 but once the passkey is ask the "pairing" process stops and displays a warning saying it was unsuccessful. Bateries are new on the keyboard and it has been paired to this MacBook .

    My MacBook OSX 10.6.8 detects the wireless keyboard apple A1255 but once the passkey step show on the screen the "pairing" process stops and displays a warning saying it was unsuccessful. Bateries are new on the keyboard and it has been paired to this MacBook before. Mouse, iphone and other bluertooth devices have no problem pairing via bluetooth. Any suggestions where to look?

    I read somwhere that firefox disables certain versions of java because it might give control of your computer to other malicious websites
    I think you have to go to the java website and down load the version you need and enable it in firefox's prefrences
    Sorry I may be a veteran in using firefox, but I know very little since I hardly had problems with mozilla untill just very recently hope this helps

  • TS3048 wireless keyboard volume button brings up dashboard?

    everytime i hit the volume button the dashboard pops up how can i fix this?

    Put truly fresh batteries in the keyboard.
    Un-pair and re-pair the keyboard with the computer.
    Attempt the PRAM reset again.
    If you do not get the 2 boot chimes then I would suggest you reset using a USB keyboard. Any USB keyboard will do. If you don't get the 2 chimes when using a USB keyboard then either you are not holding down the keys correctly / early enough or there is something wrong with the computer itself.
    If you do get the 2 boot chimes you can then go back to the wireless keyboard and re-pair it.
    Take a peak at this article. It is fairly exhaustive in troubleshooting suggestions for this type of issue: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3048
    Hope that helps.

  • Have done all the trouble shooting connection but my iPad still can not get wifi connection

    Hi Jo,
    Each router is a little different but here are the basics: login to the router using the administrator account, should have that info from the installer, and then you should find something like security settings, or it may be advanced security.  There will be a setting to the effect of limiting access, or it may say allow Mac address authentication, or admit the Mac addresses in the table...if that is switched on, you can just switch it off and that will allow any wireless device to attach.  If you want to keep it on, then you have to enter the Mac address for the device you want to use for access.  In the case of the iPad, go to Settings > General > About > WiFi Address (another way of saying Mac address).  Enter that very long sequence in the router's Mac address acceptance table and that should take care of things.
    Using the Mac address does not change any of the email settings, just limits attaching to the router in the first place.
    If you are already getting email, you must be attaching already so this should not be an issue.  If you are having email issues, such as receive but not send, you may not have the outgoing server set correctly: Settings > Mail > Account > Outgoing server name (usually an SMTP server) and you may have to go to the advanced settings to enter the outgoing password (normally the same as the account/incoming password) and then check to see if SSL is ON or OFF...most common email services say to set to OFF.

    The wish list only works on apps you have to pay for. To get it tap the icon of the app you want to save. After it opens at the upper right corner is a box with a arrow. Tap that then tap add to wish list list in the box that opens.
