Backup device settings to the cloud in Logitech Options+****

INTRODUCTION
This feature on Logi Options+ allows you to backup the customization of your Options+ supported device automatically to the cloud after creating an account. If you are planning to use your device on a new computer or wish to go back to your old settings on the same computer, log into your Options+ account on that computer and fetch the settings you want from a backup to set up your device and get going.

HOW IT WORKS
When you are logged into Logi Options+ with a verified account, your device settings are automatically backed up to the cloud by default. You can manage the settings and the backups from the Backups tab under More settings of your device (as shown):

CREATE A BACKUP NOW — this button allows you to backup your current device settings now, if you need to fetch them later.

RESTORE SETTINGS FROM BACKUP — this button lets you view and restore all the available backups you have for that device that are compatible with that computer, as shown above.

The settings for a device are backed up for every computer that you have your device connected to and have Logi Options+ that you are logged into. Every time you make some modifications to your device settings, they get backed up with that computer name. The backups can be differentiated based on the following:
1. Name of the computer. (Ex. John’s Work Laptop)
2. Make and/or model of the computer. (Ex. Dell Inc., Macbook Pro (13-inch) and so on)

Try these steps to fix issues with your Logitech Bluetooth device:
– My Logitech device doesn’t connect with my computer, tablet or phone
– My Logitech device has already been connected, but frequently gets disconnected or laggy

Logitech Bluetooth device doesn’t connect with computer, tablet or phone

Bluetooth allows you to connect your device wirelessly to your computer without using a USB receiver. Follow these steps to connect via Bluetooth.

Check if your computer is compatible with the latest Bluetooth technology

The latest generation of Bluetooth is called Bluetooth Low Energy and is not compatible with computers that have an older version of Bluetooth (called Bluetooth 3.0 or Bluetooth Classic).

NOTE: Computers with Windows 7 cannot connect with devices that use Bluetooth Low Energy.
1. Make sure that your computer has a recent operating system:
– Windows 8 or later
– macOS 10.10 or later
2. Check if your computer hardware supports Bluetooth Low Energy. If you don’t know, click here for more information.

Set your Logitech device in ‘pairing mode’
In order for the computer to see your Logitech device, you need to put your Logitech device in discoverable mode or pairing mode.

Most Logitech products are equipped with a Bluetooth button or Bluetooth key and have a Bluetooth status LED.
1. Make sure your device is turned ON
2. Hold down the Bluetooth button for three seconds, until the LED starts blinking rapidly. This indicates that the device is ready for pairing.
See the Support page for your product to find more information on how to pair your specific Logitech device.

Complete the pairing on your computer
You will need to complete the Bluetooth pairing on your computer, tablet or phone.
See Connect your Logitech Bluetooth device for more information on how to do this depending on your operating system (OS).

System Extension Blocked message when installing Logitech Options or LCC****

Starting with macOS High Sierra (10.13), Apple has a new policy that requires user approval for all KEXT (driver) loading. You may see a “System Extension Blocked” prompt (shown below) during the installation of Logitech Options or Logitech Control Center (LCC).
If you see this message, you’ll need to approve the loading of the KEXT manually so that your device drivers can be loaded and you can continue to use its functionality with our software. To allow KEXT loading, please open System Preferences and navigate to the Security & Privacy section. On the General tab, you should see a message and an Allow button, as shown below. In order to load the drivers, click Allow. You may need to reboot your system so the drivers are properly loaded and the functionality of your mouse is restored.

NOTE: As set by the system, the Allow button is only available for 30 minutes. If it has been longer than that since you installed LCC or Logitech Options, please restart your system to see the Allow button under the Security & Privacy section of System Preferences.

NOTE: If you don’t allow KEXT loading, all devices supported by LCC will not be detected by software. For Logitech Options, you need to perform this operation if you’re using following devices:
– T651 Rechargeable trackpad
– Solar Keyboard K760
– K811 Bluetooth keyboard
– T630/T631 Touch mouse
– Bluetooth Mouse M557/M558

Logitech Options issues when Secure Input is enabled****

Logitech Options issues when Secure Input is enabled
Ideally, Secure Input should only be enabled while the cursor is active in a sensitive information field, such as when you enter a password, and should be disabled right after you leave the password field. However, some applications may leave the Secure Input state enabled. In that case, you may experience the following issues with devices supported by Logitech Options:
– When the device is paired in Bluetooth mode, it’s either not detected by Logitech Options or none of the software-assigned features work (basic device functionality will continue to work, however).
– When the device is paired in Unifying mode, it’s not possible to perform keystroke assignments.

If you encounter these issues, check to see if Secure Input is enabled on your system. Do following:
1. Launch Terminal from /Applications/Utilities folder.
2. Type the following command in Terminal and press Enter :ioreg -l -d 1 -w 0 | grep SecureInput

– If the command returns back no information, then Secure Input is not enabled on the system.
– If the command returns back some information, then look for “kCGSSessionSecureInputPID”=xxxx. The number xxxx points to the Process ID (PID) of the application that has Secure Input enabled:
1. Launch Activity Monitor from /Applications/Utilities folder.
2. Search for PID which has secure input enabled.
– Once you know which application has Secure Input enabled, close that application to resolve the issues with Logitech Options.

K780 keyboard does not work or loses connection frequently****

– Keyboard isn’t working
– Keyboard frequently stops working
– Before reconnecting your keyboard
– Reconnect your keyboard

Keyboard isn’t working
In order for your keyboard to work with your device, the device must have built-in Bluetooth capability or be using a third-party Bluetooth receiver or dongle.
NOTE: The K780 keyboard isn’t compatible with a Logitech Unifying receiver, which uses Logitech Unifying wireless technology.

If your system is Bluetooth-capable and the keyboard isn’t working, the problem is likely a lost connection. The connection between the K780 keyboard and the computer or tablet can be lost for several reasons, such as:
– Low battery power
– Using your wireless keyboard on metal surfaces
– Radio frequency (RF) interference from other wireless devices, such as:

– Wireless speakers
– Computer power supplies
– Monitors
– Cell phones
– Garage door openers

Try to rule out these and other possible problem sources that might be affecting your keyboard.

Keyboard frequently loses connection
If your keyboard frequently stops working and you keep having to reconnect it, try these suggestions:
– Keep other electrical devices at least 8 inches (20 cm) away from the keyboard
– Move the keyboard closer to the computer or tablet

Before reconnecting your keyboard
Before you try to connect your keyboard again:
1. Check the battery power by turning the keyboard off and then back on again using the ON/OFF switch on the bottom of the keyboard. Notice the LED indicator color to the left of the ON/OFF switch. If the LED indicator is red, the batteries need to be replaced.
2. Try using the Windows key or type something to verify it’s working.
3. If it’s still not working, follow the link below to reconnect your keyboard.

Reconnect your keyboard
To reconnect your keyboard, please follow the steps for your specific operating system in Connect your Logitech Bluetooth device.

Switch devices with the K780 keyboard****

After you’ve connected up to three devices with your keyboard, you can switch between them when you press one of the Easy-Switch buttons.
The button’s status light slowly blinks before turning solid for 5 seconds to confirm your selection. The keyboard is then ready to use with your device.
NOTE: Make sure the device’s Bluetooth connection is enabled before you switch to that device.

K780 keyboard battery life and replacement****

Battery level

When your keyboard is turned on, the status LED in the right corner of the keyboard turns green to indicate battery power is good. The status LED will turn red when the battery power is low and it’s time to change batteries.

Replace batteries
1. Slide and lift the battery cover off.
2. Replace the spent batteries with two new AAA batteries and reattach the compartment door.

TIP: Install Logitech Options to set up and receive battery status notifications. You can get Logitech Options from this product’s Download page.
