  • Why does my mouse keep losing connection every minute

    why does my mouse keep losing connection every minute, its not the batteries

    I'm having the same issue.  Every so often it loses connection then re establishes. This goes on repeatedly.
    If you change batteries while the computer is still active then it takes for ever to re connect.
    Can't wait until someone replies to your question.

  • Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8

    Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8?

    The kit is firmly inserted in thhe iPad's dock ? You could also try a reset and see if it's recognised after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    I haven't had problems using the kit with SD cards from Canon cameras . What capacity is the card, and it's an SD or SDHC card - if it's an SDXC card that's formatted as ExFAT then it won't be recognised

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. You have no idea how good I feel know on this otherwise cold, windy and rainy day.

  • Why does the mouse move erratically in PSE 13?

    why does the mouse move erratically in PSE 13?

    I'm getting the same thing.  This is the second major problem I've had with Adobe Photoshop Elements 13.  They just corrected the first problem where there was a "default printer" error coming up when printing.  This is ridiculous.
    My mouse freezes erratically when I click on the main drop down menu.  It works okay when editing photos.  The mouse just acts erratically on the Main drop down menus.  My suspicion is the new update that fixed the default printer error has caused this issue.  I am really hoping someone from Adobe is viewing this forum.  It took 3 months for Adobe to fix the printer issue.  I hope this isn't the case with this issue.

  • Why does Magic Mouse use much more battery power than the keyboard?

    I have the Bluetooth versions of the keyboard and the Magic Mouse. I use the same rechargeable batteries in each. Yet the mouse has now come to the end of a THIRD set of AAs, while the keyboard still has 60% of its first set.
    Why? They are both constantly in use, so why does the Mouse drain batteries so much faster than the keyboard? Viz: the mouse about once a week (two, max), while at this rate, it will be another month or more before the keyboard drains.

    Actually I don't! I consider myself a 'power user' in that I will always use the keyboard first, and I learn keyboard shortcuts for nearly everything I do regularly.
    I would guess my use is 50:50 at worst?

    why does my mouse go behind illustrator CS6 window since maverick upgrade? I can see the mouse becaus I can highlight items, but to get the mouse back in front I need to click out of Illy and then click back in. Slightly annoying.

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

  • Why does my mouse make blank spaces on my screen as I move it?  It started happening after I downloaded Mountain Lion

    Why does my mouse sometimes cause my screen to erase as I move it?  It started to happen after I downloaded Mountain Lion.

    You could try booting into Safe Mode to see if it fixes the problem. To get out of Safe Mode, restart as usual.

  • Why does my mouse move slowly?

    Why does my mouse move slow?

    Check the setting for tracking speed. You'll find that in System Preferences > Mouse.
    Note that tracking speed has variable accelleration associated with it; it responds to the speed of the mouse movement as well as the distance. When the tracking speed is set to fast, a slow movement of the mouse will yield an approximate one-to-one response from the cursor; but if you flick the mouse quickly, the cursor will fly across thre screen.
    If you're using a non-Apple mouse, and it came with its own software, check in that control pane for a similar setting.

  • Why does FaceTime keep saying "connection lost" when we both have full bars on our wifi?

    Why does FaceTime keep saying "connection lost" when we both have full bars on our wifi? My friend in Texas has tried to call my via FaceTime but for some reason, every time she does, it keeps saying "connection lost" when we both have full bars on our wifi. Keep in mind, I am from Nebraska so we have the same time zone and I have an iPod 4 while she has a iPhone of some sort but that shouldn't matter because I am still able to FaceTime my friend in California, which is two hours behind me. So, I guess I just want to know why I cannot reach my friend in Texas. Please, someone help me!

    Apple has released a document which is reported to address the recent FaceTime issue.

  • My magic mouse loose connection

    hi, my magic mouse loose connection every time i lift it up!
    i have a late 13 imac with all upgrades on.
    also new batteries on it ,not rechargeable.
    any idea?

    Sounds to me they are loose inside the compartment.   There are two possible causes.   A badly made mouse (very unlikely) or inferior quality batteries.   We generally find Apple, Energiser or Eneloop are the recommended ones; others, especially minor brands, can be that tiny bit too short and leave them liable to movement.

  • Mouse loosing connection

    I recently purchased a 27" iMac, which I love.
    However, I am having some serious mouse issues. It constantly looses connection and just stops working till it reconnects which is anywhere from 1min to 5mins.
    It's very annoying. What could be the problem? Is it something I can fix or is it maybe a defected mouse?
    Any advice is appreciated
    Thanks,
    Jon

    Depending your your point of view it could be considered "defective".  Problem is you are not alone.  There are many posts on the, er, deficiencies, of the MM.  Google "magic mouse looses connection" and look at More Like This section on the right.  Here's a 15-page thread on this topic in these forums:
    Magic Mouse Loses Connection
    Some of the problems appear to be a poor transmitter/receiver.  Others seem to be due to problems with the batteries used.  For example, different makes of batteries have slightly different lengths of the positive terminal (end with small "nib").  The tolerances are such that the slight length difference is enough to make the battery loose contact wth small movements of the batteries.  Some have found putting a small aluminum foil ball inside to take up the "slack".  Others have found different brands of batteries are less prone to the problem since they have larger positive terminals.
    I do recommend always keeping a (cheap) wired mouse as a backup.  Keyboard too if you use a BT keyboard.

  • Magic Mouse loosing Connection

    My magic mouse looses connection with my iMac every few minuites to every few hours.  I have tried replacing the bateries several time.  The only way to make it reconnect is to put the computer to sleep and wake it back up a few times.  What can I do to stop this?

    Greetings,  I had the same problem after the original batteries "died". New batteries 100% charged  after 1-2 min mouse lost connection. Tried Setup of bluetooth mouse many times + new batteries - same result.
    Tried removal of com.apple.Bluetooth.plist - no difference.
    On all my batteries there are a date/manufacturing code stamped in ink under the negative pole . I removed the ink - scraped away with a screwdriver and installed the batteries again. The Magic Mouse is now connected all the time.  This challenge took 3 hrs to solve - hope it will save someone some frustration.
    cheers t

  • Why my  IPAD2  sometimes loose connection with my router and I need to enter again the WPA password?

    Why when my IPAD2 loose connection with the router sometime I need to enter again WPA2 password?

    same problem here.
    MBA (latest os), even my ip5 (latest ios) & ipm (also latest ios) looses the connecntion.
    Ive tried to figure out what causes the problem - neither my xbox360 nor (and i guessed they will be the problem) the pcs here...
    the connecntion runs well.. switching also (MBA-IP5-IPM).. but not for longer than an hour.. or even minutes. When the connection looses a high-frequency noise is followed by silence. A restart fix that problem and all devices streaming well... but not for long...
    any suggestions?
