Windows 8.1 freeze on any hardware scan or changes. USB wireless keyboard mouse not working

Problem : System Freezes frequently on any hardware scan or changes.
Symptom : Wireless Keyboard Mouse not working.
Caused by : VMkbd.sys located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers.
Issue : VMware player or VMware Workstation installed on Windows 8.1 causes compatibility issue leading to system freeze
Soultion : Please follow steps below
Step 1: Start > run > regedit
Step 2: Locate to this registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e96b-e325-11ce-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Step 3: On the left side plane, Right click on the registry {4d36e96b-e325-11ce-BFC1-08002BE10318} and then export it as backup. Just to be safe.
Step 4: Edit the UpperFilters, The value current would be kdbclass vmkbd. Remove the vmkbd. So only value left would be kbdclass.
Step 5: Restart your system and connect your USB wireless reciever. If all is well it will not freeze your windows now.
This worked for me. Hope this works for you. Enjoy..!!

Wireless keyboard & mouse

Hi there. I just installed on my MBP Mac OS X 10.5. I wanted to install WinXP as my secondary OS with BootCamp.
My wireless keyboard & mouse are not detected when I boot in Win.
How can I get my keyboard & mouse to work
Thanks!

A quick look at the requirements for the Apple wireless keyboard and mouse says nothing about Windows, meaning they are not supported by Apple for Windows use. That does not mean, however, that someone has not found a way to make them work. As Allan has already stated, the Bootcamp discussion area would be a good place to look. It is possible that there is a third-party application which allows them to work in the Windows environment. Good luck.

Hp model #RK713A wireless keyboard + mouse

can i purchase a usb dongle that will work with my hp model #RK713A wireless keyboard + mouse?

I am also looking to buy the dongle for this set up. My son got one and then shipped to boot camp (USMC) and now we can't find the dongle. It is a beautiful and new set up except for the missing dongle. I hate to buy a whole new set up.

KVM-like device for using 1 keyboard/mouse for 2 Macs

I'm familar with KVMs but what I'd like to do is simply use the same Apple Keyboard/Mouse for both my thunderbolt iMac and my thunderbolt Mac Mini. Any recommendations for keeping this as minimalist and space saving as possible? (BootCamp/Windows7 will occasionally be used on the iMac.)

Zathrak, look into a free application called Synergy. It lets you use a keyboard/mouse on multiple computers. It works like a client/server type of environment. Both computers must be on the same network for this to work.
Check out the website and see if this serves your purpose. http://synergy-foss.org/

I have an ipad3 and wireless keyboard but for the life on me can not type a pound (GBP) symbol - can anyone help?

I have an ipad3 and wireless keyboard but for the life on me can not type a pound (GBP) symbol - can anyone help?

I would think you'd have to change the language to British English to get the pound sign. THat or turn off your wireless keyboard and get the pound sign from the on screen keyboard, then turn your wireless board back on.

Apple wireless keyboard, mouse and trackpad battery management is SO MESSED UP! HELP!

I have like 2 dozen batteries that I have swapped in the days since 10.8.4. The **** thing just drains in like 4 days. I am using apple wireless keyboard and mouse/trackpad (either at a time) with my macbook pro that is in closed lide clamshell mode less than a feet away from these devices. the batteries are draining like crazy! 3-4 days! they used to work for like weeks! i have heard in another thread that there is some bluetooth driver issue.
i know many of you would come up with things to check for like other wireless devices, etc. but like I said i have been using this since 2011 and only now since 10.8.4 they have gone crazy!
whats even more weird is that i dont think the batteries are really draining. its something to do with the battery management hardware/software that fails to see the power inside. when i remove the currently dead battery and put in one that was indicated having 0% charger i get a magically 50+ % sometimes event 80! a reboot and the figure is something else! since this is happening with all the three input devices i think its something to do with macbook pro.
any fix?

SOLUTION:
Put the devices in "Manual paring mode"
1. Turn device off.
2. Push and hold in power button until the LED starts flashing on and off.
3. Try the paring procedure.
4. It should work.
I went to the apple store and this is what they did. They got the trackpad paired no problem, but the keyboard would refuse to make connection. At first they blamed windows and didn't want to replace the keyboard because it worked fine under OSX. However I made them try one of their keyboards and it paired fine. So they ended up swapping out my keyboard for one of the newer ones and now it pairs with both windows and OSX with no problem!

When i boot my mac it opens with a grey screen and the wireless keyboard, mouse illustration and won't do anything elsens,

When I turn on my iMac (27" intel) all I get is connect my wireless keyboard and mouse on a grey screen. The mouse will connect (sometimes) after I wiggle it a bit, but nothing from the keyboard. After a few minutes the disk utilities box comes up. I ran permissions and repair permissions, verify and repair on my computer and it tells me everything is ok. But it won't let me past this screen. Any suggesions? Help!?!

Hi Grace Be,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The articles below may be able to help you with this. I've summarized some of the key points below for you. Click on the links to see more details and screenshots.
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables
Note: "Peripheral devices" refers to external devices other than what came with your Mac, such as hard drives, printers, or hubs that you connect via a USB or FireWire cable.
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Disconnect all peripheral devices such as external hard drives or printers (leave only the display, a keyboard, and mouse connected).
Disconnect any Ethernet cables.
Start up your Mac.
If you can start up this way, one or more of your peripheral devices (or installed software related to the device) is probably causing the gray screen issue. Connect one device, then restart your Mac to test for the issue. Repeat the process until you locate the device at issue. Check with the manufacturer of the device for support or possible software driver or firmware updates that may be available for the device. Try a different cable with the device if possible (such as a different USB or FireWire cable).
If you are using a desktop Mac with a third-party keyboard and/or mouse device, and the issue still occurs, try starting up with an Apple keyboard and mouse connected instead. Try starting with no keyboard and mouse connected, then connect them after start up. Also, try a different USB port on your Mac.
If the gray screen issue persists with no devices connected, go to the next section (with the peripherals still disconnected).
Perform a Safe Boot
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Start your Mac, then immediately hold the Shift key. This performs a Safe Boot. Advanced tip: If you want to see the status of a Safe Boot as it progresses, you can hold Shift-Command-V during start up (instead of just Shift).
Note: A Safe Boot takes longer than a typical start up because it includes a disk check and other operations.
If your Mac starts up as expected, immediately try restarting.
If the Safe Boot does not work, or the restart after a successful Safe Boot does not work, go to the next section.
Reset the NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Reset the NVRAM / PRAM.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Wireless keyboard/mouse unable to wake imac

I am currently using a iMac G4, D-Link DBT-120 vers B3 and have been unable to wake computer using wireless keyboard or mouse. Once computer is awake (using wired mouse) keyboard is fine. I have tried updating bluetoothversion but am told it is current, firmware tells me it has errors and to try again. In bluetooth preferences allow to bluetooth device to wake is light grey. I have followed advice in reference article about this issue and downloaded update of 10.4.6. Since the update I have not discarded .plist as suggested in anearlier discussion. Any thoughts or am I to have some wires across my desk for the mouse?
Thanks

Hi again, Mheader —
Please accept a (belated) welcome to Apple Discussions.
Sorry for not responding to your post in diga's "Bluetooth Keyboard - Wake Up Powerbook doesn't work anymore" thread. I appreciate your initiating a new thread, so we can focus on your situation. "Any thoughts or am I to have some wires across my desk for the mouse?"Let's hope we can make some progress toward a solution...
(1) When you say, "... firmware tells me it has errors and to try again" —— I think it's likely that this is the problem, or part of it. I don't have a D-Link DBT-120 adapter (your is one of the correct models), so I have to depend on the experience of others about (part of) this issue. Here are the steps for updating its Bluetooth firmware:
(a) Download Bluetooth Firmware Updater 1.2 [11/23/04]. Note that — as with any software installation — it's very important that the process isn't interrupted; don't work on any other activities while it runs, ensure an uninterrupted power supply, and make sure that Energy Saver is set to Sleep = "Never" while the installer is running. The download will place a file named BluetoothFWUpdate1.2.dmg into your Downloads folder or wherever your browser is set to save downloads.
(b) When you open this, and double-click to "launch" the enclosed BluetoothFirmwareUpdate1.2.pkg, it acts a little differently than many software update installations — there's an extra step. This (the installer actually runs) creates a file in your /Applications/Utilities/ folder named Bluetooth Firmware Updater. At this point, you're done with the .dmg image and can dismount it.
(c) Now double-click to "launch" the Bluetooth Firmware Updater application that I've just described. This begins the actual upgrade process = "flashing" the Firmware. (The Apple Installer runs again.) Since you're using a D-Link DBT-120 Rev. B3 adapter because Bluetooth isn't "built-in," the adapter needs to be plugged directly into one of the USB ports on your iMac (not a hub). Since the Firmware Update is only "flashing" the module or adapter, you should "disconnect" your mouse and keyboard during the process. The installer itself may provide an alert and do this for you. (It did this when I updated my internal module's firmware.) Follow on-screen instructions from here.
(d) As I understand it, installing the firmware on an adapter may take a very long time — I've even seen it suggested that you let it run overnight.
(e) You should clearly be able to see that the update has been successful: if an alert that the device wasn't updated appears, the process wasn't successful. If this occurs, participants with a lot of experience with adapters suggest "try, try again." (Here's an example.)
(2) You may want to read through Wake This Computer Option Is Shaded and Wake This Computer Option Is Shaded, Part 2 — which are examples where several folks were able to solve similar problems using this approach.
If the firmware update is successful, but this problem remains...
(3) Try USB device troubleshooting: USB controller problems caused by some non-compliant devices can sometimes cause the problem you're experiencing.
I hope this helps!
Please post back to share how it goes.
Regards,
Dean

Bluetooth won't connect my Apple wireless Keyboard, Mouse, or Trackpad

Just as the title says...
I have a 13" MBP Mid 2009.
On OSX I can connect my Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard (3 battery slim model,) Mighty Mouse, or Magic Trackpad.
Windows 7 detects these devices in the "add device" screen but never gets any further then that when trying to connect with them.
I have installed the bootcamp drivers, and also did the update for them as well.
These devices connect fine in OS X, so why not in windows?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Scott

Warning about wireless keyboard batteries for HP Touchsmart IQ504 and iQ506

I wanted to post this information in hopes others will not have to go thru what I just did. HP wireless keyboards will not work properly with AAA Duracell batteries.
We have both an IQ504 & IQ506 and they are both a year old. The keyboard began omitting letters when typing, so I decided to change the batteries in the IQ504 wireless keyboard.
I pulled out both the old AAA Energizer batteries and popped in 2 new Duracell AAA batteries. Spent about an hour trying to reconnect the wireless keyboard to the wireless receiver on the computer. No way could I get the two to pair. Got out the manual and everything, I ran thru the steps over and over, restarted the computer over and over and pulled he USB wireless receiver out of the computer, over and over.
I ended up taking the whole unit, keyboard, mouse and power supply to Best Buy as I had an extended warranty. The Geek Squad guy spent another 1/2 hours trying all of this over and over. Left it there for Best Buy to order a new keyboard.
The next morning, the wireless keyboard on the IQ506 began omitting letters, so I took out the Energizer batteries and popped in Duracells. Guess what, repeat of previous day. Now I have 2 Touchsmart computers without functioning keyboards.
Finally, in desperation, I dug the old Energizer batteries of of the trash, put them back in and poof, the keyboard connects instantly. So a quick trip to the store for new Energizers, good to go, instant connection.
Drove over to Best Buy, handed him 2 Energizers, problem solved.
HP wireless keyboards will not work properly with AAA Duracell batteries. You've been warned !
What was I thinking when I bought an HP ?
Oh yea, I wasn't !

LOL - there are 4 batteries not 2 batterys - I initially only replaced 3 because I only had 3 new duracell batteries at the time, later i found 4 duracell ultra battereis and replaced them all - keyboard worked fine.

Can't wake mini w/ wireless keyboard/mouse!!

My new mini is great, but when it sleeps I can't wake it up! I'm supposed to be able to hit any key or move the mouse to wake it up, but nothing happens. I'm using a Gyration cordless keyboard and mouse. They seem to work fine when the mini's awake, but once it sleeps, there's no way to wake it back up without hooking up a corded keyboard.
Any suggestions?
TIA!
Keith

Thanks for the replies!
Repeated entries (on any key) don't work. I don't see a power key on the wireless keyboard. Originally, the "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" was unchecked, but checking it doesn't seem to have helped (I'm pretty sure the Gyration keyboard & mouse aren't Bluetooth equipment).
The mouse & keyboard share one receiver in a USB port. The Gyration equipment has never successfully awakened the computer, but I've only had it one day. This is also my first day using the peripherals. My wife used them in her classroom and said they were o.k. She no longer needs them, so I figured I'd try them w/ the mini. I'm hoping to find a better solution than unplugging the receiver every time the computer goes to sleep.
Any more ideas?

Wireless Keyboard Shortcut for Home Key

I have the wireless keyboard w/o the keypad which I use with my Mini.
On my MBP, the fn-Up Arrow key combination functions as the Home key on keyboards with the built-in keypad. This shortcut doesn't work on the wireless keyboard.
Do I have to define the shortcut in the SysPre/KB Shortcuts? Or is there something I need to turn on? Or...?
TIA.

Well, it works today. Problem solved. Thanks for looking.

Boot camp will not recognize wireless keyboard/mouse - will they work with a 32bit version of Windows?

I have a new iMac 21.5" - 4GB ram, 3.60 GZ processor. Installed bootcamp partition with Win 7 Pro 64 bit - it was sealed box. Could not get it to recognize the bluetooth keyboard/mouse that came with the unit last Thursday.
From page 5 of the instructions, "What You Need" - The Keyboard and mouse or trackpad that came with your computer. (if they are not available use a USB keyboard and mouse.)
I did follow all the instructions for getting the drivers installed. Went to all sources of info on the subject from Apple support, internet discussions and forums. It seems that it is a common and seemingly unsolveable problem that Apple does not yet have a solution for.
The question - will the 32 bit Windows 7 Pro have the same problem?
BruceM

You need 3.1 or better yet the drivers from Lion and Boot Camp 4.0
BC 2.x was only for Vista and XP
You don't actually "run" Boot Camp 2.x as much as partition with the Assistant, and install motherboard support drivers to Windows.
"I am USING Boot Camp 2.x"
You're running Windows -- natively.

Will a wireless keyboard work for booting?

I am about to get a Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop for Mac.
Should I need to boot using some key commands, will the wireless system work, or do I need a wired keyboard?
Thanks!

Hi! Some will and some won't so keep the original keyboard. Tom
