    Have no clue since you provided no details.  What did the smart phone tech support tell you?  You contacted them right?

  • New small WIRED keyboard not working with bootcamp

    Greetings from Stuttgart, Germany
    I just bought one of these new small WIRED keyboards for my macbook pro (early 2008/not unibody).
    It's working fine with OSX but not with my bootcamp vista business x64: the fn-key is not recognized. After inspecting the device manager I found out that the keyboard is not recognized as an Apple keyboard like my old one (with numeric keys).
    Afer updating bootcamp to version 2.1 I uninstalled the keyboard from the device manager, plugged it in again and it was still not recognized as an Apple Keyboard
    Is there a way to manually force vista to use apple keyborad driver? Or is there an update for bootcamp on its way to solve the problem?
    Best wishes,
    Wolfgang Gross

    UPDATE: a possible solution that is NOT working:
    in device manager, for both USB Human interface devices associated to the a hardware id (05AC/021E) of the keyboard:
    Update driver > browse my computer.. > let me pick.. > show compatible hardware.. > Apple Inc./Apple keyboard 2.1.0..
    Doesn't change the keyboard (mis-)behaviour

  • Why won't my iMac recognize my micro sd card through my card reader?

    I restarted my computer twice and it still doesnt work... This has never happened to me before.

    Do you have your Finder Preferences set to show external disks on the desktop? And is your reader USB? Readers to fail - they are just hardware and can (and will) fail at some point. Do you have another card reader and/or have you tried it on all your USB ports (to rule out a port problem)?

  • Why won't my MBA recognize my external keyboard

    Last month I purchased the Apple keyboard w/numeric keypad for my MBA (2012). I am running it through one of the USB ports on my Thunderbolt display.
    When I sleep the Air, take it home, and then replug the next morning - the Thunderbold display lights right up (and so does the network connection that is being run through the TB), but the keyboard isn't recognized. I have to reboot the Air and unplug/replug the keyboard in order to have it be recognized.
    Posts that I have seen about this have been dated, and people say this was resolved in an earlier OS update (I think 10.6?). However, I have 10.8.4 and have only just started having this problem within the past 2 weeks.
    Any advice or links that people can point me to?
    Thanks all...

  • Why won't my imac email send unless I restart the whole computer?

    why won't my imac email send unless I restart the whole computer?

    Two things, first see if it shows up in "Apple > About This Mac > More Info.. > Disc Burning" . If you still see it there the system still recognizes it but it isn't responding. Next do a
    SMC RESET
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
    Hopefully this will reset the power to the drive.

  • Why won't my MAC recognize a DVD with JPG...HELP!!!

    I have received 3 different DVD's from this photographer in an effort for me to be able to view my pictures.  None of them work!!  She has now given me a cd and it works fine!?!!?  Why won't my Mac recognize the DVDs??

    A friend of mine turns out a lot of DVD's for and organization that he does photo work for and he has found
    that burning DVD + or - can make a diferance along with the age of the player and he has gone back to
    burning them at the slowest speed possible. (people in the organization sends him old pictures that he fixes
    then burnes a DVD for them and returnes the pictures and DVD.)

  • Why won't my Mac recognize Verbatim Dual Layer blank DVDs?

    Why won't my Mac recognize Verbatim Dual Layer blank DVDs?
    I've just completed a 140 minute project in FCP. I've encoded an MPEG2 file that is 5.75GB in size. Brought into DVDSP and am trying to burn the DVD.
    I have Final Cut Studio 1, latest updates and everything.
    Because of the 5.75GB size I need to burn to Dual Layer DVD. I have Verbatim 4x 8.56GB dual layer DVDs.
    When I click buld/burn and pop in a dual layer DVD I get an error saying "please insert compatible disc".
    Even with every app closed. If I put one of these DVDs in my Mac it simply spits it out after about 20 seconds.
    For some reason the Mac won't handle or understand these Dual Layer DVDs.
    I bought this Mac Pro about 4 months ago and it is the 2 x 2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon machine and the DVD drive (according to system profiler) is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVD-111D. In system profiler it says "Pioneer DVD-RW DVD-111D"
    Can anyone tell me if this DVD player is actually capable of dual layer, or do I need to buy one.
    In System Profiler under Revision it says: AB09 and under Protocol it says: ATAPI
    Can anyone advise please?

    If you have access to a pc into which you can install the 112, or if you have bootcamp, you can replace the Apple supplied firmware with Pioneer firmware. This should restore full functionality to the drive. The latest Pioneer firmware for the drive is version 1.21 and can be found here: http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Firmware/SingleModel.aspx?DriveId=1426

  • Why won't my iMac recognise my LEVRO Ereader?

    Why won't my iMac recognise my LEVRO Ereader? It works fine with windows laptoip and the manual states it should work with 0S 10 and above.

    Go to > Apple Computers: Troubleshooting the slot-loading SuperDrive and work thru the sections that pertain to the external superdrive.
    Try cleaning it with a lens cleaning disc.
    example > Memorex CD and DVD Lens Cleaning Kit: Electronics
    If that doesn't help?  It is covered for 1 full year, so take it in for service or exchange.

  • Why won't my iMac print consistantly to my compatible HP 6500A? I've checked for updates and downloaded the lasted software...still can't print. All my other Mac devices find the printer but the iMac is hit and miss. I'm operating the Mac OS X Lion 10.7.

    Why won't my iMac print consistantly to my compatible HP 6500A? I've checked for updates and downloaded the lasted software...still can't print. All my other Mac devices find the printer but the iMac is hit and miss. I'm operating the Mac OS X Lion 10.7.

    When you say hit and miss do you mean sometimes you print a whole document with no problems, or do you mean each document has problems? This is from HP's website for your printer:
    Your sig says 10.6.7 but your message says 10.7. So if it's really Lion, this printer isn't officially supported. Elsewhere on HP's site it says updated drivers will be available on your Mac via Software Update. Have you run that recently?
