Mouse and keyboard devices and wireless losing charge quickly battery USB draining energy
I have an iMac with keyboard and wireless mouse (OS X 10.6.8).) Recently, I'll have to replace the AA batteries on an almost daily basis. Anyone have any ideas? I use rechargeable batteries and they are new, so not down for used batteries.
If I try to connect a camera to download images, I get a message from time to time as the USB devices will cut as drain too much energy - other than the camera I have not all connected USB devices.

ARC mouse and wireless keyboard to stopped working after update
On Tuesday, my keyboard Microsoft's ARC mouse and wireless are busy to my desktop HP running Windows 7 Ultimate. Since then, there has been a number of updates installed and the ARC keyboard and mouse are no longer works. I got out my old clumsy Laser Keyboard 6000 and plugged in and it does not work this is how I write this. But enter the Device Manager or the installed Microsoft keyboard application does not show the ARC keyboard or a mouse as even installed. I plan to do a system restore, but I probably need security updates installed on 4/14. Ideas?
UPDATE:
Thanks for the suggestions. I would have thought than to simply unplug it disconnected and reconnected the cause would detect automatic to reinstall drivers, as suggested by @cookie7746 - but it was not detecting the keyboard and the mouse at all, even at the start of the system when only the BIOS is running. Who told me I could have a hardware issue not only a software driver problem. I followed him there down to a faulty USB Extender. Not related to the software, but a hardware problem. When I replaced the USB Extender that the connections for the mouse and keyboard of the CRA is well connected, everything works.
So suggestion for those who encounter it: try restarting and during switching on, press the function keys that you use to enter the BIOS settings screen - it is usually CTRL/A or F10 or something - it will usually tell you in a message is displayed briefly that you start. If it works, you know that you have a good physical connection and the problem is a Windows driver issue. If this does not work, the problem is not with Windows - it's a hardware connection problem that can be caused by low batteries or dead in the camera (I had this happen to me) or something with USB connections. Best suggestion at this point is to start eliminating things (like me) by unplugging it the USB Extender, I had these connected directly to USB ports on the computer. With this process of elimination, you should be able to narrow down the problem. Good luck!

Today, while typing, the keyboard is not responding, as well as the mouse. the red light on bottom of mouse is on. I tried pressing and holding the Connect button on the receiver; no lights are lit on the receiver. I have replaced the batteries in the keyboard and the mouse. no action has resolved the problem. I restarted my laptop and that didn't help. I would try to download the driver for the mouse and the wireless keyboard, but I don't know what is the driver. can someone help me. Thank you

USB mouse and wireless keyboard/touchpad cursor, lags and freezes
Original title: cursor lag / freeze
a system slow, very slow or cannot manage not to load the devices & printers, his noisy hard drive, excessive heat, mouse and keyboard lag / freeze
constantly fight my wireless mouse and it's not the mouse itself.

Help, please! Any help at all will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you very much!

Hello
Your main concern maybe the mouse, but I'd be worried that all of the computer is about to fail. The hard disk should not make any noise and should not be excessive heat, or the slow loading of applications. Frankly, this looks like a pending hard drive failure.
Not exactly the answer you wanted, but its my best advice. Back up your data and programs and seek to replace your hard drive. At the very least, I would have the computer checked out by a good reputation for service Tech. Sorry, but this seems to be hardware problems and not software problems, we are dealing with here.
Let me know if this helps you.
Kind regards

Renaming of mouse and wireless keyboard
I bought a used A1314 and Magic Mouse apple wireless keyboard to use with a Power Mac G5. Both are discoverable and paired and working very well but when I go into the preferences system and then select keyboard and mouse in the status area that opens both name boxes are empty and it does not show battery levels. I am not able to rename either if I go to Bluetooth and open it. This isn't really a problem because they work very well, it's just I want to name them. Someone at - it arrived through this to know how to fix?
Thank you
Open BlueTooth preferences, select the input of the unit, then CTRL - or RIGHT click and select Rename from the context menu.

The wireless keyboard and mouse (that came with the computer) do not work until Windows is started.
I want to make a (ghost) image of my hard drive using the boot CD Norton ghost 15.0 (but it also applies to other bootable devices).
When the CD boots and the program starts I have to click a button (OK / accept) to continue. At this point the wireless keyboard and mouse are not active jet. This is why I can't continue.
Use a USB keyboard gives the same result (also not active at this point).
Is there a solution / work around for this?
Thank you.
On the pilots seems plausible. Especially because on my laptop (older) with Windows 10 CD bootable (like Norton Ghost) don't Duke keyboard and mouse.
I'll have a look at the new version of the BIOS and start looking for new tools that will accept my keyboard (and mouse).
Thank you.

I have a Logitech K520. I think that Firefox wants to upgrade to version 12.
Due to the fact that I have not updated, my browser keeps freezing.
I think that the message was showing the version of installed extension of Logitech you have in Firefox was not compatible with Firefox 12.0.
This extension is not necessary.
Yes, this extension of device detection on our support home page is used to detect your Logitech device for support purposes. The keyboard and mouse will stop not functioning.

System fails to recognize the power supply and will not charge the battery
Had motherboard replaced but, before that, I had tried a secondary power to check if my principal could be faulty. Card mother equipped now and all working fine except that I can't get the sytem to recognize my main diet. Battery won't charge and the system stops if I remove the power supply. This is on a DELL XPS M1530 laptop.
Thanks for all the ideas.
Hello
Motherboard might not be properly installed or has problems - easy to miss a rider or
any other connection as well.Old battery? Unplug the power to the computer - remove the battery and clean the contacts with a pencil
eraser (do not use this, if your battery is fine slots - just clean up the edges of the knife which fit in)
them and be careful). Batteries are old, or it could be a problem with the computer.
Check with the support of the machine system, and many of them have on line forums.New Lithium-Ion type battery usually last longer if you do not unload then less than 30%
However on a laptop that not extend their life a lot. Best is to use the a/c adapter
When this is possible.I use the free version of BatteryBar to monitor my battery. Click on the green button on the
Yellow box on the right side of the page to download the latest stable version.BatteryBar - free version available

Mrs. mouse software keyboard XP and wireless both cause popups
MS wireless mouse and the software keyboard XP that both make the pop-up windows that says that their non-plug-and-play drivers have not passed test of Windows Journal EACH time my laptop Toshiba is started. The mouse and keyboard work just fine, even though the software has been removed via Control Panel.
Hello
· What is the model of your mouse and wireless Microsoft keyboard?
· Since when are you facing this problem?
· Remember to make changes to the system?
· Where did you download the drivers from?
Maybe it's that the drivers you are using are not signed. There is a huge difference between self-signed pilot and a pilot signed WHQL.
Signed drivers WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs)- Labs provide various test suites for hardware and software including suites that allow pilots to test devices and "signed". A pilot "signed" is considered stable and ready to be used on a specific operating system such as Windows XP and Microsoft allows the seller to claim that it is "designed for Microsoft Windows XP. Products that meet the compatibility requirements are also allowed to display Windows logos on the packaging of the product, advertising and other marketing material, which indicates that the product meets Microsoft standards and that the product has been designed to work with the Windows operating systems.
Trouble of self-propelled PODS are like false drivers and are not the signatures are not recognized by Microsoft.
I suggest you follow the steps mentioned din the article given below to check if the drivers you are using are signed or not.
How to check the unsigned in Windows XP device drivers
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308514
You can see the article mentioned below.
Pilot test Plug-and-Play
http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd450398.aspx
I suggest to download the latest drivers from the Microsoft website and install it on the system and check if the problem persists.
