Wireless keyboard scrambled after update

all keys scrambled after update to 10.4.8 Cant fix. Reset pram and international input menu

all keys scrambled after update to 10.4.8 Cant fix.
Reset pram and international input menu
I am using my other computer because I cannot type easily on my G5. I have a wireless apple keyboard and my iMac G5 is the powerpc chip.
I installed several updates yesterday including the 10.4.8 update. After installation, my keyboard is screwed up. All the keys work but the letters are all mixed up. If you type a "t" you get a "y", type a "s" you get "o", etc. The only keys that work correctly are "a" and "m" and all the number keys seems to work. I went to the international preferences and noticed the divork was selected. I selected only the English choices and restarted, did not help. I reset the pram. I even tried a different keyboard usb and it types exactly the same errors. I am at a loss of the problem. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Wireless keyboard problem after installation of security update

I have an Apple wireless keyboard and wireless mouse that have been working fine up until installation of the latest security update. The mouse still works, but the keyboard doesn't. I'm getting a dialog box that tells me the computer found the keyboard and to enter a "passkey" which is something I've never seen before with the keyboard. It provides me with a numerical passkey. I enter the passkey, but it says there is an error, to make sure my keyboard is discoverable, and to try again. Every time I try, I get the same results. I've repaired permissions and changed the batteries in the keyboard.
I'm looking for some help as to what else I can do. Thanks in advance.

Changed the firewall setting for Thunderbird in Norton's Internet Security from "Auto" to Allow" and this fixed the problem.
I had updated to a new version of Norton's on 3/11/14. Don't know why the problem did not manifest itself until the Thunderbird security update installed on 3/18/14..
Very happy it is now fixed!!! Thanks!!!

Keyboard locks after update to 10.6.8

After updating to 10.6.8 the keyboard started locking up once or twice a day on my MBP (2010 -one month out of warranty). A reboot fixes it. The Bluetooth mouse works, but nothing else.
I went to the Genius bar yesterday and they wanted to run diagnostics etc. I said it was a software issue as it had never happened before. I told them the blogs were full of similar stories and did they hear of a fix. They said that with a new release imminent they did not expect anything else till then. I guess we can hope that 10.7 fixes all the glitches that are being reported in these blogs.

I am having the same problem, but much more frequently. A reboot doesn't seem to help for very long before it starts happening again. I've switched keyboards thinking that there was a sticking key, but that has not resolved my problem.
In addition, my mouse will constantly lock up for a few seconds. I've switched mice, used the trackpad, and used Apple's external trackpad as well. Nothing fixes the problem. It's getting very annoying.
I've also checked Activity Monitor to see if that shows what may be causing these problems. But I've not found anything out of the ordinary.
Any help in resolving this will greatly appreciated.

Wireless Keyboard issues after battery change

I've search the forums for an answer and can't seem to come up with anything.
I have an older white wireless keyboard. It's been running great on my Mac Pro since day one, no battery changes since new, about 9 months now, maybe a bit more. The batteries just died on me and I went and changed them with 4 new batteries. Upon turning the keyboard back on, the green power LED comes on steady for about 5 seconds, then goes into a quick double blink, then a pause, then double blink again, repeating this over and over again.
I've replaced the batteries again with a different brand, same results. I've attempted to clean the positive terminals with a pencil eraser as found in an Apple knowledge base article. Nothing seems to change. The unit won't connect and doesn't appeared to be powered on as the Caps Lock key indicator will not light up.
Is it dead? Any ideas on the double blink indicating a fault? The manual does not have a key on blink codes.

Contacted Apple phone support. They had me reset my PRAM and after the reboot, the keyboard connected back up just fine and is working properly again.

Wireless Keyboard problems after Installing OS 10.5.8

I've been using an Apple wireless keyboard with my G5 (PPC) running on OS 10.4 for about three years without any problems. I upgraded to Leopard 10.5.8 a few weeks ago and immediately lost my bluetooth connection. I installed new batteries, trashed the com.apple.bluetooth.plist, reinstalled the software, and the problem still persists.
I removed it from the list of Bluetooth devices with the intention of reinstalling it as a new device, but every time I try to add the keyboard via the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, the name of the keyboard shows up but it does not pair.
Does anyone have any ideas or solution to my problem? I would greatly appreciate your help.

Barry,
I installed the firmware 101 because the computer says 201 is not required on this computer.
It finds the keyboard only if I turn the power switch (with the green light at the bottom of the keyboard) off and on repeatedly. This time, it gives the keyboard a new name (Apple Wireless Keyboard). I continue to the nest step, which is pairing. again, after switching on and off, it gives ma a passkey. the little spinning circle that indicates a job is being processed, continues to spin. I enter the passkey #. Eventually the Following error message appears:
"The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. If using a passkey, make sure you are entering it properly on your keyboard. When ready, click Continue to try again".
On two occasions, the Keyboard showed up with the other bluetooth devices but disappeared within a second, and the error message appeared again.

I cant use my wireless Brother printer after update

I can't use my brother printer after update. How do I fix it?

Hi firekilr,
I don't know if this will work with you, but just give it a try.
Go to System Preferences in the Apple menu upper left on your display. Choose Printers. You should get a window with your printer in the left column. Highlight your printer that doesn't respond. Press the "—" button on lower left edge of this window, thus removing the printer from your list. Then, press the "+" button, and choose your recently removed printer in the list. If necessary, choose the appropriate driver in the right window. This should do it, at least for me it worked.
Good luck!

Now today, after a reboot, my wireless card won't activate (I normally run on wired, but I needed to hook my printer up and its wireless) and the system locks up and freezes at random times (it just stops...the display displays everything as normal except nothing responds. there are no log messages in everything.log about it).
I have determined that the wireless problem probably came from the firmware update since when I tried to start the wireless card it said:
phy0 -> rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Error - Failed to request firmware
My wireless shows up in lspci as an Ralink Corp. RT2800 802.11n PCI which is correct.
How do I go about troubleshooting these issues? I am very new to Arch Linux (it's been a week or so now) so I think this will probably be a handy skill to have.

Looking at my currently loaded modules (using lsmod) it would seem that my wireless driver is loaded at the module level:
rt2800pci 9681 0
rt2800lib 43247 1 rt2800pci
rt2x00pci 5050 1 rt2800pci
rt2x00lib 35928 3 rt2x00pci,rt2800lib,rt2800pci
mac80211 395680 3 rt2x00lib,rt2x00pci,rt2800lib
cfg80211 170074 2 mac80211,rt2x00lib
I also found some handy output from dmesg:

Since the firmware for this update just came out on the 27th is it possible something made its way in there and broke this? I can't seem to find anyone else who has had this problem and from all appearances it looks like it should be working (and it used to work quite well).
EDIT: One thing I am not sure about is that the firmware is in the firmware directory. Here are all the rt* firmwares. Is this correct or should there be an rt2x00 firmware in there?

Keyboard broke after update

Okay so I decided to try out the program Shaman the other day since I just got it, and I updated my system with it. I know how to do this with CLI but I thought I'd see how it worked, my problem is that it seems that it cleaned my cache out when it was done. Normally, thats been fine but this time my keyboard broke.
After a restart of X, the keyboard detected by HAL (I believe it uses evdev) causes the input to freak out. Pressing any letter will cause it to enter the letter three times. Pressing a number causes something like this: "1!1" or "2@2" which is the number followed by the shift number.
I have tried telling X to not auto add devices and it works for the most part, usually. But I have had even more problems for some reason recently. Would anybody be able to help me? I haven't tried everything I can yet, but I'm going to go back to work on it now that I have posted this.

okay this seemed to solve some problems, but now i also have a problem where i need to hold down the key a long time before it gets any response. This sentence alone took a long time to type. any way to downgrade to evdev 2.0.7? Thank you for the help so far!
Update: well apparently the accessability option "slow keys" was enabled and was causing a huge headache. I'm gonna reboot and try this again.

There are bugs in every version of every software product ever made.
Nothing described so far indicates that the issue is the result of a bug.
Try some basic troubleshooting.
On the iDevice:
Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears

Thinkpad G40 keyboard problems after updating from W98 to W7

Hi community users.
I'm new here with a, for me, typical problem.
I’m having a problem with my Laptop keyboard IBM ThinkPad G40, type: 23884SG, Windows 7.
Since I updated from Windows 98 to Windows 7 the keyboard definition is wrong. I’m not able to find the right configuration of it on base of the standard list of country and language definitions in W7.
Who can help me with this.
I already installed some drivers from the Lenova site but nothing seems to help.
So the problem is that I can’t find the right service from the country and language menu to the keyboard in W7.
All suggestions are very welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Dirk
Moderator Note; s/n & UUID edited for members own protection

Hi Vince,
Thanks for your response to my problem.
Problem isn't the choice of the specific language. The problem after the update is that I'm not able to choose the right combination of language and the type of keyboard selection in Windows 7. The selection list is long: from South-Africa to Sweden.
Although most of the characters on the keys on the lower part of the keyboard correspond with the ones on the screen but especially the keys on the upper part don't.
So I'm searching to a correct selection of the combination language and specific type of keyboard. Or there must be some driver witch can be download.
Looking forward to the feedback.
Kind regards,
Dirk

Bluetooth wireless keyboard issues after iOS 4.3 upgrade

I use the Kensington iPad case with wireless bluetooth keyboard, model K39294. Since the upgrade to iOS 4.3, the keyboard shows it is paired, but won't connect and the bluetooth icon on the iPad stays greyed out. To get them to connect and work I have to forget the device in the iPad settings/general/bluetooth menu and then re-pair them. The keyboard will work for a day, but then stops working again. The connect button on the keyboard doesn't resolve the issue either.
Any one else experiencing this issue and have a fix?

I am having this same problem... Only with iPad 3 and update to iOS 7
It worked perfectly before. :(
