Wireless keyboard: "Connection Lost" all the time. Super annoying.

I have one of the fancy new bluetooth wireless aluminum keyboards (MB167LL/A) and it throws up the ghostly "Connection lost" popup every ten minutes, sometimes more frequently. The new MBP that it's connected to is about 3 feet away.
Is there a way to stop this? It's driving me nuts.

Not as of yet that I have found???

Wireless keyboard connection lost

I have purchased a brand new Mac Pro with wireless keyboard and mouse. The connection is constantly lost between the keyboard/mouse and the computer. At times it is only lost for a second or two, however at other times I have to shutoff the keyboard/mouse and turn it on again to be able to use it. All the lost connections seem random. The batteries are at maximum and the keyboard/mouse is within a couple of feet from the computer. Any ideas what the problem could be?

Sorry, no suggestions, but I'm having the same problem with the wireless keyboard. It happens several times/day even when batteries are fully charged. Turning off Bluetooth and turning it back on seems to fix it temporarily, but it is disruptive.

HP Pavilion zv5330us had intermittent power connection now all the time- jack or heatsink?

The zv5330us cannot get a good enough connection to remain on to complete full boot. I need diagrams to locate the power jack and heat sink, CPU, or do I? Replacing the battery didn't do a bit of good as the power isn't getting to the charging unit nor will it power on with DC Adaptor alone anymore. This grew steadily worse. Is there a source for tech specifications so I can replace these parts if I need to, and what about the CMOS battery? Is it replaceable?

Connected the power source - the blue zigzag-LED power light is on in front - no error codes. I will leave it in powered state to try and charge the battery a bit before proceeding in a few hours while I copy the drivers to a CD with the correspondent instructions in Word. This older laptop had a CD read-writer but not the newer DVD writer, I think.... So many devices, it is hard to keep them all straight. Maybe another suggestion for a forum - how to keep all your devices straight with this software product >>>>>>> as yet unnamed <<<<<<<. Since cables and components bridge the gap between manufacturers, with small mods, it helps to get the consolidated listing of all components when you buy the things new.. HP had such a while ago and of course, I copied it onto said laptop, Pavilion zv5330us - which is, of course, the zv5000 family, unless HP broke ground with the 5300 devices - it would be lovely to see a matrix or historical exposition of how these evolved. Sometime I think it would be better to have all the hard drives in a tower, accessible by remote, and for that I bought an HP USB drive, which had its hiccups. Wonderful article "Cloud Services Showdown" in Maximum PC magazine, Vol 17 no 05, May 2012, comparing Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Apple's iCloud on page 38. They didn't look at the HP or Linux or other commercially offered remote access to your data, nor other options in this article, just the Cloud-type services by the big 4 - but that is another Topic.

Step input key commands active all the time - really annoying

In Logic X, I'm experiencing a problem where the step input key commands are overriding the global key commands, even when the step input window is not open.
For example, when I'm looking at the main Logic window, with the step input window closed:
-I press the space bar, and the playhead advances one division value
-I press the T to change the tool, and it creates a region and puts a tiny F# there (!!)
-I press Y to open/close the library, and it creates a region and puts a G# there.
The only way around it right now is to edit my key commands and delete all step input commands that are getting in the way of the more universal ones.
Has anyone else encountered this?

Yes, I am.
Actually, I haven't even really been using the step window. The problem seemed to start out of nowhere, and I noticed by looking through the "Edit key commands" window (opt-K), that what Logic was doing was using all the step input key commands instead of the global commands.

Just to double check.. You are clicking on the Arrange window to bring the focus to that window yes. after you closed the step window?

Wireless keyboard connection lost/intermittant

Yesterday, while working, my keyboard lost connection as a message saying so appeared on screen. This was momentary and it seemed to regain connection. This is a new keyboard on the new intel iMac. This morning I could not log in and then the icon appeared telling me I lost connection again. I tried changing batteries, even though the ones in the keyboard are new. I ended up getting a connection with the original batteries while taking them in and out, and as the little light on keyboard appeared. Is this a defect with the way the batteries are resting in the keyboard. The metal screw on end of battery compartment screws snug and can not be made tighter. Has anyone had the same problem. I may have been having this same problem all along for the last month, as once in a while I am unable to log in because nothing happens when I type. I thought the computer was still booting somehow, but now I'm thinking that the keyboard has been struggling to find connectivity. When this happened this morning though, it did tell me with the icon that I lost connection.

This sounds good and a way to save me if I'm unable to log in (I hadn't thought of just connecting my old usb k/b and mouse). The "PRAM" & "SMC" I assume were set automatically for me when I set the new computer up last month. I would have to do some 'figuring out' to reset these and delete from BT, whatever that is. Is that a place where I would delete the current wireless k/b and mouse configuration that is giving me problems? (I'll also try new batteries.)

X1 display flickers, grafics settings are lost all the time

Dear all,
I am facing massive problems with my X1 (i5, Windows 7 64 bit). The internal and external displays start flickering randomly, sometimes even directly when booting the system. In Windows when this happens very often the dislay settings are gone, so I have to set them manually again. Sometimes the green power button flickers also, while the display flashes. This happens without any periphery as well as with different external displays. Things that have been done already:
new mainboard (by Lenovo support)
new OS installation (only 5 days ago)
updates of all drivers using Lenovo tool
updates of Windows
One thing that might be an indicator to the problem: The resource monitor says that igfxsrvc Module has been aborted, often shortly after the problem occurs.
Has anyone another idea, what to do and what to look for?
Thanks a lot!

Hello Kigugu,
This is really hard to arrange the display setting again and again, In order to resolve the issue I suggest you to update the Video driver, Power Management and BIOS of your system manually. Kindly download and install the Display driver, Power Management and BIOS update utility from the below mentioned web link as per your Operating System.
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&DocID=HT051705
This may help you to resolve the issue. Kindly update your BIOS at last.
Regards,
Harish

MacBook Retina 13 fan goes up all the time and wlan crashes every few minutes

Hello,
I've got a MacBook Retina 13" Haswell edition and as soon I open any kind of app or if I just idle at the desktop the fan goes up to 100% and the temperature of the CPU goes over 90celsius all the time.
Also my wifi connection drops all the time im not using my thunderbolt bridge which is super annoying, it can only be fixed by tuning the wifi on and off and after 10 minutes it disconnects again.
is there any way to fix it?

Backup your data or Home folder. Boot from your Snow Leopard installer disc. Select your language and click on the Continue button. Wait for the menubar to appear then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard drive from the DU sidebar, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended, Journaled, then click on the Erase button. When the process is finished quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the installation.
After you have reinstalled OS X you can restore your data from the backup.

Since installing iOS6 in my iPad2 the connection keep being bounced from the wireless all the time after a few seconds. What can I do ?

Since installing iOS6 on my recently purchased iPad2 the connection is being bounced off the wireless all the time after a fw seconds. What can I do?

Try #5.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Looses wireless connection all the time.

Hi
I have a problem with my macbook pro, it looses its internet connection all the time. I don't know why since it's quite close to it's modem and other laptops that's more far away works fine. Any idea?
Best regards Frankensten

Does the router have the latest firmware? What happens when you are at a hotspot or a Starbucks?

When bluetooth headset is connected to iphone,I can't hear iphone ringing aloud when I have a call or a text. Do i really have to wear the bluetooth headset all the time in my ear to know when I have a call or a message? Why it doesnt ring through iphone?

In other phones, you can hear the phone ringing and if it was connected to bluetooth, you could pick up the call from the bluetooth headset.
Here with iphone, if its connected to bluetooth headset, it only rings through the headset, which means that if you dont have the headset in the ear all the time, you cannot know that you have an incoming call or message.
Any ideas - solutions - comments please?

I'm having the same problem. I had a plantronics 975 (which I lost, sadly). When connected, the ringer would always be routed through the bluetooth and the iPhone's external speaker. When in silent mode, the iPhone would only vibrate, but I could still hear the ringer in the bluetooth.
I just bought a new Plantronics Voyager+. Now when it's connected, all sounds are routed to the earpiece - including the taps, etc. The iPhone's speaker doesn't ring at all, unless the bluetooth is disconnected or powered off. I'd really like to be able to hear both, like I was before. This is an iPhone 3G running iOS 4 (latest version, not sure what it is exactly). Haven't updated software/firmware in between bluetooths, just changed the earpiece.

HT1414 I attempted to update my iphone 3 through I tunes - I think I did a back up on my pc - I am now unable to use the phone at all - it cannot be turned off and seems to be syncing all the time, even when it is not connected to itunes.

I attempted to update my iphone 3 using itunes. I'm not certain but I believe I did a backup on my pc first. I am now unable to use the phone at all - the slide bar won't move and I have a camera icon next to the slide bar which is not responsive. I have tried to sync and even left the phone connected to the pc overnight. The phone is going flat within a couple of hours and won't stop beeping every few seconds and seems to be syncing all the time, even when disconnected from pc. I am fearful that I have lost all my contacts - nothing is working - can anyone help - please?

Try resetting it if you can: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release. If you can't, try to connect it to iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your sync settings and click Restore to restore it. If that doesn't work you'll have to force it into recovery mode to restore it as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
You can check in iTune to see if you have a backup. They are listed in iTunes>Preferences>Devices. However, the backup may not bring your contacts back as contacts are only backed up as necessary to preserve the recent call and call favorites lists.

Once airport is setup, does it need to be connected via ethernet all the time?

Once airport is setup, does it need to be connected to the router with an ethernet cable all the time?

AirPort Setup....the configuration utility in Mountain Lion...will look at the connection and configure the Express accordingly.
If you have an Ethernet cable connected during the setup, then you will need to leave the Ethernet cable connected after the setup.
If you want the Express to connect using wireless only....then you must configure it using wireless only.

I need to connect an Airport Express to an exisitng Wi-Fi Netgear Router. 1) My PC do not detect the Airport Express, 2) AE is flashing amber all the time... Please if someone can help?

I need to connect an Airport Express to an exisitng Wi-Fi Netgear Router. 1) My PC do not detect the Airport Express, 2) AE is flashing amber all the time... Please if someone can help?

Before I bought it I did the same question at the Apple Store, and they told me "You can extend your existing Wi-Fi Signal with Airport Express wireless...
You cannot extend wireless from any brand except another apple router.. the store might have assumed you were using an apple main router. Most people who buy express buy them to extend an extreme or time capsule.
You are correct .. in the setup documents it does say 5.6.1 is adequate to do the setup.. my bad.. !!
