Dakattack 0 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Using the latest build of synergy for both macOS and Windows 10, I can only get my Macbook cursor movements to send to the Windows client, but my Macbook keyboard doesn't send anything to the windows machine with the exception of the command key. When I press the command key, the windows start menu opens. But any other command related shortcut (Command+V for example) will paste text on the Macbook even when my mouse cursor is controlling the Windows machine.

Bold Derek 0 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hi all I am having the same issue. Â Is there a work around for this? Â High Sierra 10.3.3 and Windows 10 (latest). Mouse works but Keyboard is a no go. Â Link to post Share on other sites
RandomUser363 0 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 User support was zero help for me. Just told me to upgrade my version which is not the problem. Issue is coming because of permissions to the application. I found a work around by doing the following in the terminal of the Mac server system: sudo open -a Synergy Sometimes the keys get messed up and won't go the the windows client again, just close it out and re-issue the command in the terminal. So far this has worked for me. Â Link to post Share on other sites
Tony Trinh 1 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I have the same issue. I solved this problem by changing Keyboard Preference "Use F1,F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" and it worked. However, It is not working after a bug that make my mouse curser unable to move from the centre of the monitor. I restarted the program on both PC and Mac, and my solution is not working since then ( the mouse is still working fine and only Command key is working ). My synergy version is 1.8 and I believe the its not the solution since JeffreyC still has the same problem. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites

The funny part it was working great last week. I will remove the software and reinstall and see if anything changes. I didn't try mac to mac, the issue I'm experiencing is mac to pc.

thinkski 1 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I had this same issue. Mac OS X 10.14 server. Windows 10 client. Both running version 1.10.2. Resolved the issue by unchecking the Synergy box in the Accessibility menu within Security & Privacy within System Preferences, rebooting, and then re-checking the box. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Ralph 0 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 thinkski's solution worked briefly for me. But after only a few minutes of use, the keyboard stopped going through to the client from the host. Mouse continues to work normally. (Mac -> Mac, both running 1.10.3-stable-ca35737a, happily connected with TLSv1.3 over a reliable connection.) Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Hello @Daniel Ralph Please, could you email us [email protected] with the information on your current Synergy version and your OS's version? Link to post Share on other sites
GeoffreyK 0 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I'm having the exact same problem. Yes I have followed the instruction for fresh re-install on both server and client. Server side is iMac running 10.13.16 and client side is Mac Mini running 10.15.5. Don't ask me why I am running different versions of OS X. I read through all the posts about SecureInput stuff and some apps intercepting keystrokes etc. And I thought going with "Pro" with TLS encryption might help assuming the encryption will hide the messages etc. Silly me. It didn't help at all. I just wasted $9. _shrug_ I'm running: Version: 1.11.1-stable-55ec3105 Build Date: Mar 19, 2020 Any advice? Or should I go with another solution?

QHoster 0 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Same problem here, I try to use this several time over the past two years since bough. Never done a cent of actual work. Paid like $29 for this, useless. Should have donated them. Link to post Share on other sites
atlanta 0 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 My issue is fixed by disabling all Safari AutoFills in preferences since I don't use Safari anyways ... Link to post Share on other sites
Knehp 1 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 This same problem popped up for me today - the mouse worked on the client, but the keyboard did not. Stopping/starting both server and client did not fix anything, but re-activating the server did. I clicked File > Activate from the toolbar and then OK without changing my serial key. My keyboard once again worked on my client. This problem may be due to the recent upgrade to 1.10.3-stable-ca35737a, which has a build date of 5 days ago. I was out for the past 4 days and would not have noticed the problem until this morning.
