So I have had a iMac for a week now and have come across a bug that was happening at random (actually it wasn't). So when I put my computer to screen saver mode (it just powers down the screen after a bit) I would turn the mouse off (keyboard i just let go to sleep). So a few hours later I would come back turn the mouse on and try to login. Well sometimes the mouse would work and other times just the keyboard would work. I was about to take the keyboard to the apple store and demand my $30 back and the regular keyboard. Fortunately I ended up finding a repeatable pattern to cause one input to not respond and a repeatable solution.My Setup:
1) Silver 20" iMac Core2 Duo 2.66Ghz
2) Apple slim silver bluetooth keyboard
3) Logitech Bluetooth notebook travel mouse
Problem:
1) iMac is in sleepish mode
2) both keyboard and mac off
3) wake up computer using mouse first then try to use keyboard
Doing this will cause the mouse to not respond yet the keyboard will
Solution:
1) Wake up computer fully with keyboard
2) Turn the mouse on and wait for it to respond
Both of these should take less than 5 seconds each to happen (usually faster).
If you find yourself in a situation where one input is not responding (even if the computer says its connected to it) simply turn off both inputs and turn the keyboard on first make sure the computer is responding to it (Command + Tab is a great test) then turn the mouse on.
