Should I turn off the keyboard and bluetooth mouse off?

Hello

I'm new to Apple products and have recently purchased an iMac with keyboard and mouse compatible bluetooth.  The are a switch on each accessory to activate the bluetooth on or off.  Should I turn off after closing down to save the battery power or not this wear simply on the switches.  Not sure if stop actually stops transmitting wireless accessories, or if the latter uses the negligible power when the computer is turned off.

Thank you

Yes switches turn off the wireless, and yes they use negligible power when the computer is turned off.

  • Can not switch to OSX Recovery Mode: looking for the keyboard and magic mouse

    I'm trying to reset my end 2012 Mac Mini 2.3GHz/i7/16GB to factory settings to try to get the machine a new lease on life.

    However, when I try to enter in Recovery Mode (in now command ⌘ + R when the system starts up), the machine will stop to a screen showing the instructions to turn on a magical keyboard and Magic Mouse.

    I have a trendy apple (USB) keyboard and a USB mouse is connected.

    How can I activate these entries, or how can I pass this screen looking for a keyboard/Magic Magic Mouse?

    [I guess one option is to use a magic mouse or a magical keyboard - I have in my office - but it is not sensible that you need them to access recovery mode].

    Thank you

    Got my Magic Mouse of the office, got into recovery mode. Surprised, you need a Magic Mouse, and who does not have a USB mouse to the recovery mode!

  • Favorite keys only work when the keyboard and Microsoft mouse is running.

    Original title: ergonomic keyboard 4000 my favorite

    5 favorite keys work if I loaded the program "Microsoft keyboard and mouse center", it takes a few minutes to load, if I put my computer to load at startup it will delay the computer for about 15 minutes, so I don't do that.  But often forget and then when I press one of the keys to load the word, it doesn't happen, is this normal or am I missing something important? all other keys work OK.

  • MacBook pro 2015 stuck in Bluetooth Setup mode after commissioning, recognizes on the keyboard and track pad. SMC reset does not work.

    My Macbook Pro 2015 stopped periodically (and now permanently discontinued) responding on keyboard and touch pad Board. This seemed to start at the same time, I got a Bluetooth headset; When I turn on the computer, he's stuck in Bluetooth Setup mode. I tried to reset the SMC, and it does not work. I don't have a Bluetooth keyboard to even try with it. Also, I can't start in safe mode. It seems completely blocked. Any help you might be able to offer would be great!

    Hello rad trp,.

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    From your post, I understand that your keyboard and trackpad on your MacBook Pro are unresponsive and now you see the Bluetooth set up screen on the computer. I also see that you tried to reset the SMC, but that doesn't seem to work because the built-in keyboard do not respond.

    I know that you do not have a bluetooth keyboard, you can connect, but you have a USB keyboard? Even a USB keyboard for a computer Windows will work. If you do, I would say connection that the keyboard and you use these keys to perform an SMC reset, but reset the PRAM as well. Instructions on both of these resets can be found in the links below if you need.

  • The keyboard and mouse bluetooth suddenly stops working

    I asked this question before using Dell, but none of the answers provided.
    The keyboard and mouse bluetooth suddenly stops working.

    Given that this only happens when I'm online I make this question to the FireFox support.
    I have the latest version of FF:

    I installed the new BIOS and Shipset, but that does not change.

    Suddenly, the keyboard and the mouse do not respond and I have to restart manually.

  • Locking of the keyboard and the mouse after update Windows7

    System: HP 3135 Pro

    Windows 7 Prof 64 bit

    Microsoft wired keyboard 600

    Mouse Logitech RX250

    This problem started on October 16:

    After the automatic updates of Windows, the keyboard and mouse locked. Only to start in secure mode and come back with the widows, restore the system to a previous point, it is possible to activate the keyboard and the mouse again.

    Now, I turn off the automatic updates, to avoid the system freezes again.

    The Microsoft forum is not clear about this error, would be something regarding the HP computer?

    Any help is welcome.

    Hello

    There were some problems with the last batch of reviews/recommended Windows updates this month this.

    Among the updates disabled device USB 2.0 from a USB vendor specific drivers. I found a web reference that can explain what has happened to you. I think that the update has been removed from Windows Update. This article may shed some light on your problem.

    You can install each update manually until you find the cause of your problem. Unfortunately, when you find it you will have to restore the system again and avoid this update. Or Microsoft could have pulled the offending update.

    Is it only a matter of HP? Impossible to comment on.

    I've updated HP four systems, a Dell laptop and a system tailor-made without any problem.

    You really don't want to permanently disable future updates of Windows.
