Wireless keyboard doesn't work after repair.

It was a bunch of other troubles that lead to this point.
Macally external wouldn't pic up by firewire. Used Bluetooth keyboard to browse web for help.
Downloaded from Macally's site 'Firewire Enabler' using option+click since safari disabled my regular click and download method
followed instructions for install of 'Firewire Enabler'(put it in the extensions folder).
Crash On startup with an error and grey restart screen of destruction.
Installed OSX on another drive, keyboard wouldn't pic up..... went for a wireless usb gateway keyboard
located the 'Firewire Enabler' file and deleted it.
Restarted system and booted back from old drive.
Locate USB something error,
Bluetooth keyboard neither lights up when turned on nor connects....
what do?

Hello:
I have no clue what you have done, but you seem to have piled things on top of one another.
I would probably start over. Your profile indicates you are running an older version of OS X. (10.4). If that is the case, I would do an archive and install (after uninstalling whatever third party stuff you have added).

  • New apple wireless keyboard doesn't work after upgrade to leopard on mini

    I am posting this because I have not seen anybody else post this issue, but it is fixed at this point.
    I installed the new apple ultra slim wireless keyboard on my mac mini about a month ago...was working great...until I upgraded to Leopard. The keyboard would connect, and the esc, function, and arrow keys would work great. However, none of the letter, number, or enter keys would work. This was all observed using the 'show keyboard viewer', which is accessible by allowing 'show input menu in menu bar' from the 'international' system preference pane.
    I rebooted many times and even updated to the latest leopard patch set.
    During this whole time, the wireless mighty mouse has worked without issue.
    I removed the device and added several times with no change. I even moved the wireless keyboard to my G5 and it worked great over there.
    After a few days of trying various things to no avail, I was finally able to get the keys to work, but I am not sure why. I had a wired keyboard connected and kept going back and forth between the wireless and wired keyboard and all of a sudden it started working. Very strange.

    this problem is fixed, but if anybody has an idea what happened, I would like to know.

  • Wireless keyboard doesn't work after latest security update

    Hi,
    I update MacOS 10.6.7 with latest security update and my wirelles keyboard is connected, but keys not work, capslock light doesn't change. I try charge battery, then I replace new battery, but it has no effect. I connect keyboard to another Mac with Leopard system and there's no problem... There's some solution? Thanks

    Try repairing permissions with Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility.
    There select First Aid.  After that select the hard drive within Disk Utility's window.  Finally click on the button that says Repair Permissions.  A reboot may be necessary to finish the work when it is done.
    Ignore any errors reported.

  • HT3917 My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed

    My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed.

    Do you get a steady green light to say there is a connection.    If not, are the batteries the right way round.   Do you have a monitor to tell the batteries strength. Is there a reading.   Are the batteries good quality ones, Duracell, Energiser or Apple rechargeables.

  • Wireless keyboard doesn't work in Windows!!

    Wireless keyboard works fine in Lion system, but I cant unpair it in Lion system since it is undetectable. After installing Windows 7 through boot camp, the wireless keyboard is not working. I think it is some kind of driver problem. Can someone help me solve this problem? Thanks a lot!!!

    Hi JPasHPCust,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I have read your post on having trouble utilizing your wireless keyboard to the desktop, and I would be happy to be of assistance!
    To start off, I will need to know what the Product and Model Number is for your desktop. I will also need to know if your wired keyboard is capable of functioing in a different USB port or not.
    Please follow this document on Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Troubleshooting. If you still cannot use the wireless keyboard, try booting your computer in safe mode. To do this, follow these steps to boot in Windows 8 Safe Mode.
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!
    Regards

  • Wireless keyboard does not work after waking up from idle

    After MacBook Air went to sleep, wireless keyboard does not properly connect to MacBook - I can wake the MacBook up, but meaningless numbers are sent, and I cannot type in my password. Have to "open" MacBook, and use keys - disconnect and re-connect wireless keyboard. I also use Magic Mouse and it works flawlessly. Problem is small but annoying. Any help?

  • WiFi doesn't work after repair

    Hi,
    Today I received my iMac 27" back from repair. It had the screen and the optical drive replaced since both were defect.
    According to the papers, nothing else has been replaced, but WiFi doesn't work now. I can't connect to my own network (Time Capsule), and only very few networks show up in the list -- quite often, mine is not there, and sometimes there are none at all. Checking with a laptop right next to the iMac, I can see plenty of networks (and my own network works fine).
    Could the Apple guys accidentally have screwed up something? I thought about looking at the antenna connectors on the AirPort card (a guide is available on iFixIt), but it seems quite complicated (and I don't have the necessary screwdrivers).
    Thanks,
    Michael

    And if it under warranty you do not want to open it up and void your warranty.
    When the authorized tech installed new memory modules in my 09 Mac mini, he shorted out my wireless card and they had to order a new one and install it. I would take it back and have them figure out what is wrong.

  • USB Mouse / Keyboard doesn't work after resuming from hibernate

    I am using a USB device that splits out to 2 PS2 ports, one for a mouse, one for a keyboard. It works great, but when I put my X61 into hibernate, the mouse and keyboard do not work when I resume from hibernate.
    I installed all the relevant patches and power manager drivers from the driver downloads page, but my mouse still doesn't work.
    Can someone point me to the correct download or shed some light on this?
    Thank you!

    I have this same problem with this same device. It is a "composite USB device".
    What I've notice is that the problem happens mostly with USB 1.1 ports. When the device is connected to a USB 2.0 port the problem doesn't happen always.
    It depends on the computer though. I added a PCMCIA USB 2.0 adaptor to my laptop that has USB 1.1 only. And when I connect the USB-to-PS/2 cable to the USB 2.0 my mouse sometimes work after suspend/hibernate but sometimes doesn't.
    However, on my other desktop computer, which has integrated USB 2.0 ports, this problem has never happened (I haven't tested it exhaustively though).
    This is a Windows bug of course. Everything related to USB 1.1 support is buggy in Windows. One more example is the annoying (and possibly catastrophic) "Delayed write error" that appears when you use a external hard drive plugged to a USB 1.1 port.
    I guess M$ is focusing their efforts on making USB 2.0 to work well and they have forgotten about USB 1.1. Or it could a problem related to "USB composite devices", hard to know.

  • Wireless mouse doesn't work after installing iTunes

    New 30Gb iPod, installed iTunes v6 on 6-mos old HP laptop with docking station/wireless keyboard/mouse. All is well, updated iTunes with latest from web, loaded songs on iPod BUT now wireless mouse will not work. Reset mouse, works for a few clicks, then dies. Reset mouse again, few more clicks, then dies. Reboot without iPod connected, no iTunes up, still mouse only works for a couple clicks. Touchpad on laptop works, also so does wireless keyboard so I know transmitter is working (not battery problem). All worked fine until I started playing with options in iTunes today. I didn't uninstall iTunes yet, is that next step? Anyone else have this problem? Suggestions???

    I'm pretty sure it's probably just your mouse/computer, however I would recommend uninstalling iTunes just to make sure though.

  • Help - My macbook keyboard doesn't work after being sprayed with windex.

    My mom cleaned my keyboard with windex.  I'm assuming that this short-circuited something or other so the keyboard isn't being processed.  Anyways, I let it dry out for a day and some of the keys work now, but the macbook randomly shuts off.
    Should I let it dry off for a little longer?
    Do I need to replace the sheet underneath the keyboard?
    What should I do?
    Thanks.

    I have a new TX2 1300 also and i have the same exact problem.  When I use the touchsmart program in laptop mode - no issues with the keyboard.  BUT if I use the Touchsmart program while rotated in tablet mode - the keyboard turns off and is not usable until I reboot my laptop. Very repeatable.  I also verified I have the latest BIOS.  After I read your post yesterday I called the HP support and they were not able to reproduce the issue on their lab compter (a TX2Z 1000 - NOT a TX2Z 1300).  I updated my bios with the tech on the phone just to pacify them - and I still have the issue.  The tech then checked her database and amazingly enough HP knows of this issue and is working on a patch for the Touchsmart program.  They are going to email me when the patch is ready.
    I have another issue - and I am curious if you see it too.  My screen goes out of calibration constantly.  Basically I lose the touch sensitivity right around the WIndows start button on the lower right part of my screen.  Affects both capacitive (finger) and digital (pen).  I have to run the reset progam in the NTRIG Touch Tuning utility in the windows control panel to get that part of my screen to become responsive again.  Very disapointing - have you seen any issues with the touch screen sensitivity on any parts of the screen ?
    Thanks,
    Kevin K..

  • Apple BT keyboard doesn't work after OS update

    When I booted up a day after installing the latest Maverick update, my Apple BT keyboard no longer pairs with my iMac. It paired with a laptop at the Apple store, and the BT mouse still works. A clean reinstall of the OS hasn't helped.

    This is sort of basic stuff, but maybe it will help:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2662
    If that does not help, I would (pain, I know) bundle everything up and take it to an Apple store genius bar for diagnosis.
    FWIW, I have not seen posts that indicate any Bluetooth connectivity problems with OS X 10.9.2...
