- macmost.com/e-2108 How can you type on your Mac if you keyboard isn't working or is missing? How can you control the cursor to click on things if your mouse or trackpad is not working? There are methods to type and point that you can use in an emergency or until you get a replacement. You can bring up the Accessibility Keyboard to type using the cursor, and use Mouse Keys to move to cursor using only the keyboard. The trick is to know how to bring those up when things aren't working.

Dear Gary.
Since I bought my first Mac (Mac mini M1) last December 2020, for the first time I lost my mouse in the configuration. Thanks to this video I was able to use the keyboard and restore my Magic Mouse connection.
Your videos are very interesting and helpful and I like how clear you explain the things and how straightforward you are on the topics.
Thank you so much for your help.
I just downloaded Mac Monterey on my 2015/2016 mac retina pro and it automatically turned off my trackpad and I don’t have a mouse. That was SO frustrating and so of course I scoured the internet looking for solutions and found nothing valuable UNTIL I saw your video and gave it a try. I am SO GRATEFUL I did. This was easy-to-understand instruction, valuable and actually worked! You saved me time, money and headache. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge with us. Thank you!!!
Oh you absolute LEGEND! Cursor/mouse had been lagging/freezing for a week, then finally decided to stick in the top left corner. I was trying to use recovery to reinstall Monterey (which I wish I’d never upgraded to in the first place) but couldn’t get to the continue button using voiceover. Nowhere I looked talked about mouse buttons! You rock!
We missed one important step in this video... How do you log in if your keyboard is not working? The login screen on MacOS Catalina does not appear to have an on-screen keyboard option :(
Yesss how.? ;)
I'm having this problem now. Can't log it...
You should type your password before mouse keys on
Exactly
So how do you do it if you have 2 users? Wont let me select one
Thank you, sir. This was so very easy to follow and I am looking forward to following you!
Thanks Gary, again...this is so helpfull!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! you have literally saved my life, I accidently turned of the Bluetooth on my IMac and I'm useless with technology so this was REALLY helpful, thank youuuu
I literally turned my off too and now i can’t connect notthing 😍💅🏻
Any fix?😭
Thank you, you have helped me solve a problem that it's taken me two whole days to solve!
Great video, Gary. This is a good thing for all Mac users to know.
That said, as you said at the very end, it's a good idea to have a spare old keyboard and mouse (or trackpad) around just in case. This is kind of taken care of already if your Mac is in an environment with other Macs; you can borrow a spare easily. Otherwise, keep a spare somewhere - and keep spare batteries around if either of the primary input devices is wireless!
Excellent, thank you!
How do I log in in first place
Yeah I know
I know how to login lol hope you know to
You click command or options 5 times turn off your computer at the back then a dark circle should go around your login thing If you click enter or space you should be able to see the screen where your picture is for your login then there should be were you should put in the password lol I know this but no one else dose Bruuuuu
@@m1forevs. but how to do you type command without a keyboard
finally i got my MacBook unlock thought #WIRELESS_HACKER1 on Instagram thank MAn.
Thank you so much this video really helped
😑 but how am I going to keyboard if the dam MOUSE DOES NOR WORK
Same
Exactly my mouse isn’t working to get to these options
Yep! Same issue. Hit option & return on the keyboard. You can then login using your keyboard.
OMG I have not felt so validated in my life lol 😂
Me either, my keyboard and mouse is not working I don’t know what’s going on. I don’t know how to open it either 🥺
Thank you so much for this advice! My trackpad and mouse weren't being recognised by my iMac, and I wasn't able to find a solution anywhere else. Much appreciated!
Best video so far! Mine was a Bluetooth connection between iMac and magic mouse 2 problem but through your thorough elaboration of every step, I got it working even after the apple support failed me. Thank you so much!
Great tutorial....used your guidance to complete a new mouse set up when bluetooth was off
This video is by far the most important thing I’ve watched on TH-cam in recent memory. You saved my butt!
Thank you! Super useful. 👏🏻
Thank you - I was unable to select the file menu with the keyboard at all - but your trick fixed it. Genius!
Thank you. Your videos are very helpful and appreciated.
Super helpful! I bought a mac mini for the first time and lost the Bluetooth pairing. This was the best content out there for this situation. Thanks!
Your video saved my life! I was trying to connect my bluetooth mouse to a new Mac Mini, but couldn't click "connect" (since mouse wasn't working). Searched the web for 40 minutes until I found your video. Thank you!
thank you so much you saved my mac. i am typing this on my iMac with a broken mouse. i have a keyboard with a numeric keypad so you saved me
TYSM
Pp

Thank you SO much!
So helpful! thank you!
Thank you! Thank you! You helped me solve my problem! My iMac Magic Mouse died and I bought a new Logitech Bluetooth mouse but was struggling to get it connected using the keyboard only. Thank you!
I went through six or seven videos before I got to yours thank you so much for all the information your video is the only one that actually helped
This is gold! Thank you!
Thanks man! Saved me a lot of headache
which program do you use to record your screen that's also showing the keys you're pressing down?
Thank you!!
You just saved me. Thank you so much!
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for the help
Thank you so much !! There was only so much I could do with keyboard navigation and that keypad mouse trick was excellent.. I took screenshots for future reference. Thank you !!
Great post, well delivered, easily followed, and it worked! Good job. Yes, I subscribed.
Thank you this trick is so useful and invaluable
Your tips worked! Thank you soooooo much.
Thank you!!!! You’re awesome
Thank you 😊
Thank you for posting this! very helpfull
Thank you, friend. I was nearly ready to throw the computer away until I saw this video. So helpful for setting up a bluetooth mouse on my brand new (to me) Mac mini.
Gary, this video answered a question I have been having, as I try to fix a problem with my iMac. Thank you for producing such excellent tutorial videos about how to use a Mac. I have now watched about 20 of your videos, subscribed, and will continue to watch more to learn more. Your presentations are very good, nicely illustrated, clear in instructions, spoken at a good pace for learners, and helpful. Thanks!
Thank you so much!
That's actually realy useful
Super helpful!! The only tutorial that actually helped me
TYSM THIS HELPS ME SO MUCH
Soo easy thank u 💪👏
Great tips..... thanks
Helped!
Thank you!
thank you so much for this video! im aspiring for a super minimalist setup and was hoping there was a way to nix the mouse entirely. now i just have to figure out why Mouse Keys isn't working with my bluetooth keyboard.
Did you find out the problem I really need to know the answer why it isn’t working
Thank you so much for this, you saved me a lot of frustration :)
Thank you. Good video. You helped me get my Mac running. I had to watch it like 5 times. LOL. LOL.
THANK YOU 🙏
Very good tutorial and easy to follow. Thank you!
Thankyou so much sir
Thank you so much! It worked! I used the 5 x option method and I was up and running in 5 minutes with my mouse. 🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨
Appreciate your effort. Your video helped So much!
great video thanks
Gary. Thanks so very much. Losing my mind after an update left me without Bluetooth stranded.
Thank you soo much it really helped me i have to manage this for now
Do you have a solution for the Accessibility option popping every time I try to use the down arrow? Since I pressed every single key you instructed me to (before you said those methods may not work), it just caused all types of issues with my keyboard. Is there any way to reverse it? I can’t even type in the letters I,J,K,M,U,O and I’m sure I’ll find other annoying problems with my keyboard.
Saved my life 👍👍👍 great help
Great video! Thanks!
Thanks a bunch
Sir thankyou very much i appreciate your help and support keep making more videos...
Your video absolutely saved my life
the best Mac channel on YT!
I have just got my new iMac and have trouble with the mouse. I did what you suggested with the option key but now it seems it won't turn off? I have managed to get the mouse into the search bar to find where I need to go in accessibility but the keys that I had used for mouse tracking are not recon\gnised? I try to type short cuts shrt is the best I can do the o is missing?
Thank you so much for this video. It really helped me.👍👍👍👍
That was incredibly helpful. Thank you! Best advice though came at the very end...use a wired mouse!! And I did happen to have one of those hanging around. I will always keep that little mouse with the USB tail around.
You saved my life today. Thanks.
It helped me.
But I can’t even log in n keyboard not working but shows connected?
Sameeee
I really don’t think he thought that far ahead
Try using siri if u have hey siri look up a command u can say to get siri started from there on u can tell siri wat to do
This saved me big time! Thank you!!
Amazing!! Thank you so much, it saved my life!!
I am screaming THANK YOU! Your video got me back to typing and I am able to meet my deadline. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge!
DUDE! Totally SAVED my day. thanks a million!!
You saved us!!! Thank you×3!!!!!
Great tips! I can personally attest to the need for keeping an old USB keyboard hanging around. One time I inadvertently shutdown Bluetooth. Bam! No keyboard / no mouse. I had to borrow my neighbor’s keyboard to restart Bluetooth. Made me wonder after the fact why Apple would even allow me to turn off Bluetooth in the first place.
I think, though I'm not 100%, that if you disconnect all USB devices from your Mac restart it with the power button, then you put your mouse or keyboard into Bluetooth pairing mode while restarting, it will find the mouse or keyboard.
Ace! Just saved me. Thanks a bunch.
Hallelujah! Lately iMac has been disappointing me without the mouse my new desktop is useless, how does it randomly disconnect! I have so much work to do thanks to you I’ll get stuff done today instead of spending the whole day fixing this.
Thanks
Thank you soooo much!! None of these worked for me as I turned off my Bluetooth because my airdrop wasn’t working and of course all off a sudden my mouse doesn’t work. YIKES!! BUT, while watching your video, I thought to take a spare mouse from my laptop (not my Apple mouse) and plugged it into my desktop AND IT WORKED!! So I was able to get my Bluetooth back on!! HOOOOORAY for extra mouses!! Thanks sooo much for posting!!
Thanks life saver
brilliant video. Has inspired me to watch more of yours
Thanks mate, this video just saved my day. 👍🏽
Off topic but hoping you can help. Hi there. Do you know an easy way to export the titles and perhaps authors from Audible and Apple Books? I have four different accounts with over 600 bucks and was looking for a central place to catalog them. I was thinking excel or notion. I have not found a quicker way to do this other than one at a time with manual entry. Hoping you can help. Thank you for all of the great content! Have a great day.
Wow thank you so much 😩 four stores later, five hours of work wasted and this video was all I needed omg will definitely check TH-cam first before wasting $
I need to have my MacbookAir screen at face height but must have the keyboard/trackpad much lower to avoid back and shoulder problems. What's the best accessory to get to achieve this? I bought a wireless keyboard #ISJ-DJC03 but realized that I dont have the ability to move a cursor around the screen. What's the right thing to type on that also moves the cursor on the screen? Thanks!
Thank you soooo much and I have a question please how can I make the mouse follow the keyboard please so for example when I press tap in the keyboard I want the mouse go there
There's no way to do that with just macOS. Maybe some third-party extension? None comes to mind, sorry.
Thank you! It took a while but at last I have my BT mouse working again on my Mac Mini. For some reason it won’t work through the USB, so will have to Google that now!
Ace.Thanks.
This must be useful for troubleshooting mouse or keyboard problems. I always have a basic old USB mouse and keyboard tuck away for just such situations
What an amazing, informative video!! Thank you! You saved my night trying to figure this out!
I like your videos and I like how you explain things. I would like to know if you found the solution to the Mac's Bluetooth. I have an Imac and have had connection problems for a week. The mouse and keyboard are disconnected every 5 seconds. I have tried everything that has been published on the Internet but I still have not been able to solve it. Maybe you know how to do it. Regards, and thank you very much.
Sounds like some sort of interference to me. Think about what other devices you have in your house -- anything plugged in like wireless phones, cable/satellite boxes, appliances, smart light bulbs, W-Fi thermostats, etc.
@@macmost Thank you very much for answering me, Macmostvideo. I have looked at all of that too but there is nothing that changed in the last few months. Yes, 2 months ago we bought a 21 "imac for my wife. I have a 27" imac both of them are at the same table where we work. That is, one is next to the other. Could that be the problem? So far we have been working perfectly without problems. Thanks again for being so nice.
@@peteronoel Try it and see. That's what you need to do. Be a detective. Turn off the other Mac and all the devices and see if the problem still happens. Look at whatever else is plugged in in that room. Then other rooms, the whole house. Process of elimination.
@@macmost Ok, I'll try it. Thank you very much, Macmostvideo.
Thx
