Apple Wireless keyboard warranty

I own a Late 2012 Mac mini and i am using third party keyboard and mouse all these years. I am going to order  a $69 apple wireless keyboard from apple website.
My question is how the warranty mapped or covered as my Mac Mini warranty has  already expired. I have heard recently that though keyboard is under warranty period, apple asks for a system serial #. Does that mean that if my desktop/laptop warranty is expired, i cannot claim keyboard warranty? Or is there any separate serial # for keyboard to verify warranty?

To the best of my Knowledge, Apple no longer issues warranties for peripheral items like keyboards, mice and chargers etc.   Keep your receipt and that is the proof of the item falling into or out of the guarantee period.   Each item is individually covered by the date of the receipt for it.   As hardware, the guarantee is 12 months.

  • My apple wireless keyboard is just over a year old, but I find that delete ( backspace ) button no longer functions, has anyone else experienced this problem, do I need to have it looked at by an apple technician ?

    My apple wireless keyboard is just over a year old, but Ifind the delete ( spacebar ) button does not function, does any one know if this is a common fault, do I need to have an apple technician to take a look at it?

    It appears to be out of date so far as the warranty is concerned.  There may have been some minor detritus slipped down the side of the key.  See if you can find a buush with stiff but fine hair.   Perhaps a toothbrush.  Then brush around the key.   It is possible to remove the key if you are very careful and that would make it easier but you have to be very careful.   You are sure there hasn't been any liquid spilt; even the smallest amount can cause a drama..

  • My apple wireless keyboard got wet a year ago i sprayed the cleaning spray on it some of the keys are working but some of the keys aren"t working. it got sprayed a year ago What should i do??? Can it be recovered plz tell?

    I sprayed it a year ago i really like the keyboard and i really need it can it be recovered??? My apple wireless keyboard got wet a year ago i sprayed the cleaning spray on it some of the keys are working but some of the keys aren"t working. it got sprayed a year ago What should i do??? Can it be recovered plz tell?

    There is almost no chance it can be recovered, except at a cost far greater than a new keyboard.  Once wet, spraying with a cleaner will not do any good and most likely will make the situation worse.
    Best thing at this point is go to your Apple store, or the on-line store, and buy a new keyboard.  Water damage is not covered by the warranty or AppleCare.

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard - Shift + 'r' key not working. It doesn't capitalise the letter. Can someone help please. Thank you.

    Hi all,
    I am having some problem with the Apple Wireless Keyboard. It has not problem connecting to both my iPad mini / iPhone 4S.
    The problem comes when I start to type with it. All the keys are functioning will, except when I am trying to capitalise the letter 'r'.
    I tried using Shift + r. It doesn't work, regardless whether I use the left or right Shift key.
    Any someone help please. Thank you.

    If your Macbook is less than a year old, it is under warranty. A repair of of a problem of this kind would be free. So, if you have a warranty, have the problem fixed by Apple.
    If your Macbook is more than one year old, please tell us what operating system you are running, and any other information that would help understand what is going on.
    If you do get the keyboard to work for a short time, long enough to post back, please unlock the "caps lock" button.

  • 2009 Apple Wireless Keyboard

    I recently purchased a 2009 Apple Wireless Keyboard from eBay - that was "in perfect working order."
    When I recieved the product, I connected everything as shown in the Apple directions, but there was a problem.
    My issue is that it seems as though the Left Shift key is stuck, however, not physically stuck. Everything I type will be in capital letters and when I type a number, I get the secondary output (ex. 3 will equal #.) The right Shift key doesn't work at all. I turned it off/on, with no avail. Then I noticed that my windows are moving very slowly! It takes almost 30 seconds for a window minimize.
    I went through Apple, so I could find all of the updates for everything I would need: Bluetooth, wireless keyboard, etc.
    After installing the updates that I needed, and disregarding the ones I didn't - I restarted my computer and the keyboard still didn't function properly.
    Am I missing something? Or should I take advantage of the 30 day warranty and get it replaced?
    I'm using the white Macbook (mid 2009).
    Thank you in advance!

    I suggest you send it back.

  • Constant Problems with Apple Wireless Keyboard & Mighty Mouse

    My Apple Wireless keyboard constantly loses its connection with my Mac Mini (I have brand new batteries and the latest firmware update) but it is sitting directly in front of it!
    I can get it to work when I go to sys. pref., delete the keyboard, and start the set up assistant. However, once I get the keyboard working this way the Mighty Mouse beings to move insanely slow!
    Please help me, I bought these two products because they were directly from Apple and I just assumed they would work great with my computer.
    Thanks

    Hello craig:
    If you are near an Apple store, take both products in - they can test them there. If you are not near a store, call Applecare (since your products are still in the one year warranty). They may replace one or both.
    A third possibility (one you do not wish to hear) would be the BT module itself having a problem.

  • Are the apple wireless keyboards and mac book pro keyboards the same size?

    Are the apple wireless keyboards and the mac book pro keyboards the same size? I have the most current wireless keyboard and I use it with my iPad. Thanks in advance

    I took it to the same shop where i purchased they sent it to the apple
    service centre and it is a week and no one informed me abt the problem
    or the action on it.
    We are mainly just users to users here, and sometimes a Apple folk will respond, but it's just a direction to a Apple support document, no service or account issues are handled here.
    Will they replace the mac book pro as it is still in warranty
    We don't know what Apple will decide to do in your case, the best source of information is the shop you brought it to.
    They might be in the process of fixing it, or they might be deciding they need to keep your machine for investigation.
    Apple will take care of you, make sure you buy AppleCare and a external drive for TimeMachine if you haven't already.

  • Serial Number fo Apple Wireless Keyboard (2007)

    Hi, I bought a re-certified *Apple Wireless Keyboard (2007)* from the online Apple Store.
    Where can I obtain the serial number for this product?
    Thank you.

    Thanks - I live about 500 miles from an Apple Store, so that's kind of not so good. :-/
    I ended up calling (since I was still in the 90 day support window), and found out that it was covered as part of the Mini's warranty. That was the good news.
    3 days later the replacement keyboard came. It was the full-sized plastic keyboard...in Spanish. :-/
    After another call, and 3 more days, the replacement keyboard came. It was the full-sized plastic keyboard...but in English.
    I am now waiting for replacement #3, and hoping it's the aluminum keyboard in English.

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard Spacebar insensitive

    Hi everyone, I'm having problem with my spacebar because the sides are totally not sensitive at all. I just want to know if there should be 'nipples' attached to the sides - just like the one in the middle. This keyboard is unfortunately out of warranty and the insentivity is driving me crazy.
    Based on this photo, can anyone check if this isnorm

    Digging around I have just found this on Google.   If you are prepared in the final instance to replace your keyboard, this could help you find out what is wrong.

  • Apple wireless keyboard only types caps

    Found this on several other discussions but it was the first time it had happened to me.
    Using an Apple wireless keyboard with a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro, 15", non-retina display. All had been fine but all of a sudden the wireless keyboard would only type caps. Hitting the cap lock button turned the light on and off but the keystrokes would produce nothing but caps. Additionally, clicking a link in web pages would only add the link to the reading list, instead of going to the link. Not sure if it is related or not but I suspect it is.
    Tried several things found in other discussions - replacing batteries, restarting, repaired permissions and the like. Even trashed the cashes folder prior to a restart. This allowed the keyboard to respond correctly but only for a couple seconds, then it reverted to all caps again.
    What fixed it for me (as you can see I am now typing in upper and lower case) was disconnecting the wireless keyboard via the Bluetooth menu in the menu bar, a suggestion I saw on another page. Don't delete it, just use the disconnect function, wait about 10 seconds then reconnect via the same menu.
    So far so good, but I also just noticed that the shift key was stuck in the depressed position. Not sure how it got that way but I suppose that could have been part of the issue although I never saw anything like mentioned in other discussions.

    If the wireless keyboard is still under warranty call tech support.  Let them deal w/it.

  • Wacom Tablet causes Apple wireless keyboard to stop working.

    My Wacom tablet/pen causes my Apple wireless keyboard to stop working.  While working on a photo in Photoshop using my Apple (usb) mouse to make selections the keyboard works fine.  When I use the Wacom Pen to make selections, not immediately but anywhere from five to ten minutes into it, I hear what sounds like a chirp from my computer (Mac Pro) and my keyboard stops working.  The command, option, control and direction keys still work but not the number and letter keys.  I have to connect a spare Logitech keyboard via USB in order to continue and not loose my work.  After awhile I will hear the chirp again and the Apple keyboard will start working.  This will continue to occur at irregular intervals.  Without the spare keyboard I've had to reboot my computer (loosing all the work on the photo) to get the keyboard working again, but only for it to reoccur.  Any suggestions to fix this would be appreciated.

    The Mac inherently keeps all input methods active, such that you could type alternate keys on alternate keyboards.
    If you have third party add-ons that might change the way Bluetooth works, those would be the primary suspects.
    Be sure all your Drivers are completely up-to-date, and batteries in battery-powered devices are still strong.
    Bluetooth uses the same part of the frequency spectrum (but a different modulation technique) as cheap WiFi Routers, baby monitors, and microwave ovens. if you live in a busy apartment building, there may be very high levels of interference.

  • HT201178 how do you unpair an apple wireless keyboard?

    I have an apple wireless keyboard, but I recently just purchased and apple keyboard with numeric keypad and I am wondering if I need to unpair the apple wireless keyboard from bluetooth or I dont know but, my new keyboard is wired so it should work already, correct?????

    Hello,
    I believe that when you plug in the USB keyboard, that one should control the device.
    However, why not either unpaid or turn the Bluetooth device off?

  • How do you get the Apple Wireless Keyboard to accept function keys?

    I use the Apple Wireless Keyboard with my iPad2 and I use the VPN to connect to my work-related software which requires that I use some of the function keys as actual F1, F2, F3,...etc.  When I hit F2, the iPad2 responds with the Screen Brighter action.  How do I get the keyboard input to just be F2?  Thanks!

    Thanks. But I tried that and nothing happens.  I've looked though all the System Preferences sections and can't find anything on this.

  • How do I pair my new Mac mini (mid 2011) and white Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003)?

    I just bought a new Mac mini (mid 2011) and can not set it up via my Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003). I'm disheartened but not surprised that my Bluetooth 4.0 Mac isn't backwards-compatible with my Bluetooth 1.0 keyboard. But I can't find any documentation confirming the fact that my non-paired, but tested & perfectly functioning keyboard will not work with current Macs.
    I was however, able to locate a tech support doc (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4112) that mentions my Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003) is not compatible with iOS devices. (Which is not critical because iOS provides a non-physical keyboard. Aside, it would be lovely were Apple to add a non-physical keyboard to Mac OS X, if only so new desktop owners can continue to set up their Macs in a pinch.)

    I just bought a new mini mac (lion 2011) with a wireless keyboard.  I could not get the mac to recognise the keyboard.  Spent several hours back with the Genius team who replaced keyboard and mac but did not get anywhere.  They gave me a wired keyboard, was able to configure the mac and then it recognised the wireless keyboard.
    Seems this is a problem with the new mac/OS

  • New apple wireless keyboard & iPad 3 pairing question

    Bought a new Apple wireless keyboard this week. Had some trouble pairing with iPad 3. Took me 4-5 attempts but it finally paired successfully after 10-15 minutes. Question for all you gurus...  When the wireless keyboard arrived on Friday, I first paired it with my MacBook Pro. Could that have caused issues when I re-paired the wireless keyboard (today) with my iPad 3. And further, this will sound like a silly question, can the wireless keyboard be paired with two devices? I don't mean simultaneously. Does it screw up any settings to use the key board with separate devices/computers? Wondering -- if I keep my wireless keyboard at my office -- can I go to work with either my MBP or my iPad and simply use this one wireless keyboard? Or should each device have its own dedicated wireless keyboard? That seems redundant but I kind of love this keyboard already and would be willing to buy a second, if need be. Obviously, I don't want to spend extra money if it isn't necessary. Am I going to have to re-pair the keyboard and device each time I switch between the iPad and the MBP? Thanks all. You are always helpful and I appreciate it.

    Thanks for the quick reply Skydiver! So...I really should buy a second wireless keyboard so that I don't have to go through the hassle of re-pairing the keyboard when i switch devices, yes? Yes, I believe I've answered my own question as I now sit here with my MBP attempting to pair it to the keyboard. Oy. Taking forever. I don't mind buying a second -- for $69, it seems to be the most efficient thing to do. Now I just need to figure out a way to designate which wireless keyboard goes with which device. Time to buy a little sticker! Thanks again.
