Wireless keyboard name does not stick, connection lost after reboot/restart

I know this topic has been addressed many times but I might have additional info to this.
I tried to rename my wireless keyboard. The name stays as long as I only let the computer sleep.
As soon as I do a restart/reboot and the connection is lost again, it's name is set back to the old name.
This might be related to the reason why it looses it's connection over and over again.
Does anyone know where this "name" is stored? There must be a plist file or something somewhere where the name is kept, maybe that's the file which is corrupt and must be deleted.
I also was wondering if it is possible to "reboot" the keyboard itself, maybe this setting is stored on the keyboard itself and it cannot properly maintain it.. that might be a reason why for some users the keyboard replacement has helped.

So, the same problem occurred and in a relatively shorter time than before. I began to think that something is causing this problem.
My theory is that it is a VMWare software issue. What I've been doing differently recently is using it in "Unity" mode as opposed to "Full Screen" mode. My guess is that the program is modifying my wireless permissions and screwing it all up.
So, what I've done is set the "Network Adapter" to "Host-Only". This denies the VMWare program internet access but still allows file sharing between the Windows virtual environment and the Mac hard drive.
Then I had to re-install Mac OS X all over again to fix the wireless settings/permissions mess.

  • TS2662 changed the batteries on wireless keyboard and does not turn on now

    Changed the batteries on wireless keyboard and now it does not turn on, is there a trick to this?

    No trick.  Be sure the batteries are inserted correctly and that the cover is tight.
    Try different batteries.
    Reset the SMC if it still does not work.

  • Apple Wireless keyboard layout does not match

    Hello, I bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard to use with my iPad. It connects fine but the layout is not recognised. The wireless keyboard is Azerty but in the iPad when I type I get qwerty. The touchscreen keyboard of my iPad is also azerty so I did not expect this to happen. Cannot find where to change any setting to get this fixed. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    As far as I can find there is only the one...some countries have more than one language and could have more than one layout but it may be a marketing thing with Apple...choosing the layout that will have the largest number of people using it rather than all options.
    If you need another, give Apple feedback:

  • Vertical taskbar width does not hold the width after reboot

    Hi.
    I wonder if anyone could help me with this. I've been trying to google the answer for hours but no luck.
    I use the desktop with taskbar on the left side not on the bottom. I'll explain why just to cut questions. Simply because it makes more sense to me to have it on side rather than bottom with 16/9 format of display. I also work with many windows open at the
    same time and this way I can have 15 of them on the taskbar without grouping.
    Problem.
    I need the width of the taskbar to be wide enough at least for 3 icons of the quicklaunch section. Below this width there is not enough space for quick launch icons to fit in the area. I could increase the area but then it uses space for the open windows
    tabs and also date/time are not displayed fully. 3 icons is what makes sense for vertical taskbar. Every time I change the width of the taskbar to 3 it goes back to 2 after reboot. No matter whether I lock it or not!
    question.
    Is there any way of setting the minimal height ( in my case width of the taskbar as it is positioned vertically on the side) in the registry? I mean can I enter somewhere " do not go below bloody 3 icons after reboot ! " in the registry  :)
    There must be default value somewhere there  and this is why it keeps going back to it. If only I knew where is it I could increase it to suit me.
    I know it might seem to be silly question but after resizing the taskbar 2 348 times over the past years eveytime I turn the computer on I have had enough.
    I would be very gratefull if anybody could help me. Thanks in advance.

  • BEFW11S4 wireless connection lost after reboot / sleeping

    I am using the linksys wireless router BEFW11S4 version 4, firmware version 1.5, to connnect two winXP computers, one a desktop (wired) and one a laptop (wireless).
    The wireless connection was created using the EasyLink Advisor software (support.linksys.com).  The wireless connection made by this software to my laptop has no signal strength problems.  A wired connection to my laptop also has no problems.
    However, if a wireless connection is made, it is broken when my laptop is restarted or sleeps (power saving mode).  The sysTray indicates a wireless connection that has "limited or no connectivity".  I cannot browse the internet.  The EasyLink advisor automatically detects a problem and prompts ot repair it.  Though after a few steps the EasyLink Advisor indicates that a "wireless connection failed to be made", the sysTray shows a healthy connection, and it becomes possible to browse at this point.
    I'm hoping to make a connection that doesn't need to be re-established every time I leave my computer.  Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

    Carrot, thanks very much for your message. I tried updating the "firmware" -- is that what you meant by drivers?
    By following the instructions at http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=4030&lid=7771778881B05,
    I upgraded the firmware which involved performing a factory reset on the router, and re-establishing the network using the EasyLink Advisor.
    All of the steps were carried out easily according to the instructions and there were no hitches or exceptions. The wireless connection made was strong and usable. At this time I added my second (desktop) computer which has a wired connection, by following the "add another computer" wizard in EasyLink Advisor.
    This completed the re-setup of my network with new firmware.
    I then restarted my wireless laptop, and, unfortunately, the connection was lost, as usual.
    any other suggestions?
    Thanks again!

  • Soundblaster ROAR Mac USB Connection Lost After Reboot

    I am using the device on my Mac. I currently connect it via USB, but also ran into the problem with Bluetooth. I set up the device for sound in System Preferences and everything works correctly. However, if I reboot the computer, the Mac is not seeing the device and won't reconnect via USB. I have to go back hit the Play/Pause button to connect it again via USB.
    This is obviously frustrating. Is there a way to solve this problem? My Mac is running Yosemite 10.10.2.
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Hi jwt0001,
    As with any electronic devices, especially those with built-in batteries, leaving them connected to your PC or electrical socket that is always turned is not good for your battery. Although batteries these days have special circuitry to cut power off once it has reached its full charge, such practice can diminish your battery's lifespan/charging cycle. If your Sound Blaster Roar is connected to your PC and it is occasionally switched off from time to time, this should not be a huge problem.
    It is a normal behavior for Bluetooth devices to take a second or two to wake up when audio begins since it needs to re-connect to its last paired connection. I've yet to observe this when connected via USB.
    Personally, I pair my Roar to my phone via Bluetooth; I usually turn on the speaker, turn on Bluetooth to connect and start playing music. It does take a couple seconds to do this each time but is not so much of a hiccup for me.
    Cheers,
    Colin-CL

  • Does not automatically connect to wireless network anymore

    Mac Book does not automatically connect to know networks any longer.

    Hi sashton,
    When troubleshooting Wi-Fi connectivity issues, I find the following resource has the most relevant information:
    Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
    Furthermore, you may want to avoid giving your network a common name. While the following article (and excerpt) refer to iOS devices, the same applies for your Mac:
    Avoid giving your wireless network a common name (SSID)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4450
    If you were to give your wireless network a common name (SSID), users of your network who use iOS devices [sic] and are away from your network would run the risk of joining a different network with the same name. Having joined the unexpected network, they would be exposed to potential data theft.
    Because of this security issue, Apple maintains a list of common or ambiguous SSIDs, including the default SSID for many commercially available access points, as well as the SSIDs "wireless" and "default". If your network's name is on the list, any iOS device [sic] that joins the network stores the access point's BSSID and associates it with the network's SSID. Subsequently, it will only auto-join the network if the access point's BSSID matches the information the device has stored. This avoids joining a different network with the same name.
    Therefore, you may want to refer to the following article when configuring your Wi-Fi router:
    iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

  • I have an eMac which I want to connect to my home wireless network. My router is D-Link-601 tech 802.11n. My emac is wireless ready but does not contain an airport card. Do I need a card and an airport station? What else?

    I have an eMac which I want to connect to my home wireless network. My router is D-Link - 601 tech. 802.11n. My eMac is wireless ready but does not contain an airport card. Do I need a card and an airport station? What else?

    You need the Airport card OR Airport Express but not both.  Considering the age of your machine, I recommend Airport Express as you will find other uses for it whenever you replace the eMac.
    To set up the AE, you do need OSX 10.4 or higher.

  • I have an RK713A wireless keyboard which will not connect

    I have an RK713A wireless keyboard which will not connect. The mouse is working fine but the keyboard won't. I have tried pressing the blue connect button on the back of the keyboard.

    Hi,
    There are a couple of quick things to check-
    Make sure that the batteries are good (I'd suggest trying a fresh set) and make sure that they are inserted correctly.
    Has the keyboard ever worked?
    Thanks,

    I'm not sure if anyone has this issue. I use shortcut Email (name) and the Q10 pulls up a Compose screen where I can write a new email, can add Send To, etc., but when I click SEND, it does not send. I notice the Account field is missing my email account. and the SEND button is grey-ed out. but my email account is already set up in the Hub.
    Is there something I forgot to set?

  • Bug- Version 8.0.10 (Build 25189) MacOSX Connection Name does not import

    When importing Remote Desktops from one machine to another..the connection name does not import..ONLY the 
    PC name or IP address comes across..

    Hi Phil,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    As you have commented PC Name or IP address is imported and thinks we need that only for connection. Also we can only export and import the .rdp file between Mac clients. Also for a try, you can reinstall the app and verify.
    Hope it helps!

  • RDS Gateway + Smart Card Error [ The specified user name does not exist.]

    I have the following Windows Server 2008 R2 servers:
    addsdc.contoso.com, AD DS Domain Controller for contoso.com
    adcsca.contoso.com, AD CS Enterprise CA, CDPs/AIAs published externally.
    fileserver.contoso.com, RDS Session Host for Administration enabled
    rdsgateway.contoso.com, RDS Gateway enabled
    tmgserver.contoso.com, 'Publishing' rdsgateway.contoso.com but with pass-through authentication
    And the following Windows 7 PCs:
    internalclient.contoso.com
    externalclient.fabrikam.com
    There's no trust between the domains, the external client is completely separate on the internet but the CA certificate for contoso.com has been installed in the trusted Root CA store. All servers have certificates for secure RDP.
    I enrolled for a custom 'Smart Card Authentication' certificate with Client Authentication and Smart Card Logon EKUs from the CA, stored on my new Gemalto smart card using the Microsoft Base Smart Card CSP.
    From internalclient.contoso.com, I can RDP to fileserver.contoso.com
    using the smart card just fine with no certificate errors.
    From externalclient.fabrikam.com, I can RDP to fileserver.contoso.com
    via rdsgateway.contoso.com using a username and password just fine with no certificate errors.
    From externalclient.fabrikam.com, I can RDP to fileserver.contoso.com
    via rdsgateway.contoso.com using the smart card to authenticate to the gateway, and a username and password to authenticate to the end server, just fine.
    BUT from when using a smart card to authenticate to the end server via the gateway, it fails with:
         The specified user name does not exist. Verify the username and try logging in again. If the problem continues, contact your system administrator or technical support. 
    When I move the client into the internal network and try the connection again (still via the RDS Gateway), it works fine - the only thing I can think of is being outside the network and not being able to contact the AD DS DC for Kerberos is causing the issue
    - but I'm pretty sure this is a supported scenario?
    The smart card works fine internally, the subject of the certificate is the user's common name (John Smith) and the only SAN is
    [email protected] which matches the UPN of the user account as it was auto-enrolled.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    I had a similar issue where I am using a smart card through a Remote Desktop Gateway. I had to disable Network Level Authentication (NLA) on the destination Remote Desktop Server. If anyone has another way around this, I'd appreciate hearing it. I'd prefer
    to use NLA.

  • IPad (3rd generation) does not automatically connect to wi-fi.

    iPad (3rd generation) does not automatically connect to wi-fi.  It is fully updated to 5.1.1 but you have to manually connect after turning off and back on.  I also have an iPad 2 with the same OS but it automatically connects.  The wi-fi has no security.

  • Acrobat does not allow connection to a certain website

    We work in Citrix, most users do not have the problem, only one user has.

    Compare the Security (enhanced) and Trust Manager settings for yourself and the user on the same machine. If they are not identical, make them so. If that doesn't work,

  • TS4080 apple thunderbolt display image on display intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys. Rebooting by pressing the power button resolves issue.

    My apple thunderbolt display (which I purchased 1.5 years ago; OS 10.7.5 Mac Mini) intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys, so am thinking it is a hardware problem with the display. Rebooting by pressing the power button turns the screen back on, but the same phenomenon has occurred several times. Could this be a software issue, or do I need to have my display repaired? Your feedback would be appreciated.

    Hi ED, tough to tell, but it does sound like it's waking with the bonk, just not displaying.
    Long shot but...
    I wonder if it's a variation of this, of which I've seen many different symptoms...
    Resolution
    Move the mouse or trackpad cursor over the center area of the login window so you can see the user icons. Click on the icon of the user that you would like to login as, type in the user's password, and press Return.
    If the login window is configured to show only the name and password fields, type in the user's name and password into the fields, and press Return (even if you cannot see the rest of the login window).
    Additional Information
    This issue will not occur if the display is not sleeping when the account is logged out. Use the steps below to confirm that the account is not configured to log out automatically while the display is sleeping:
        1.    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General.  Click the padlock to unlock the preference pane and enter your admin password. Click the Advanced button at the bottom, then see if the option "Log out after N minutes of inactivity" (where N is the number of minutes) is enabled.
        2.    Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and configure Display Sleep to occur after the account is logged out, by dragging the slider to a number of minutes that is greater than N was set to in the previous step.
    Important: If automatic log out is not needed, disable "Log out after Nminutes of inactivity" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. This will also prevent the issue.
