I would not waste time trying to troubleshoot the problem.  Since it is new, call Applecare with a warranty problem.  I had a similar problem with a new KB some time ago and it was replaced at no cost (shipping included).

  • Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard not Connecting to iPad

    Hey, I try to connect my Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard is not connecting to my iPad. I tap Bluetooth "On" and it searches for devices. Then I slide the switch on the back of my keyboard to the green light and the iPad picks it up and says "Not Paired." So I tap the keyboard and it just spins and spins and spins until the keyboard times out and powers off. Then it disappears and my iPad can't find any devices. I repeated the process several times and I got the same result.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks

    I had a very similar problem, with a new model wireless keyboard. The set-up is not very intuitive (and the instructions for both the iPad and the keyboard are not particularly helpful). Here's how I got it to work:
    1. If the keyboard has already been paired with another object -- e.g., I was testing out my iMac keyboard -- you should be completely out of range of that other object (more than 30 feet away).
    2. Make sure Bluetooth on the iPad is disabled.
    3. The keyboard should not be "on" -- i.e., no solid green light.
    4. Press and hold the power button on the keyboard until you get a blinking green light. This should take just a few seconds.
    5. Turn on Bluetooth on the iPad.
    6. At this point, it should detect the keyboard and instruct you to enter a combination of keys to pair the two devices.
    I found that you have to follow this sequence or it won't work. For example, if you have Bluetooth on on the iPad before holding the power button on the keyboard, it won't work.
    I hope that helps.

  • How do you have Google searches appear in new tab? This was previously not a problem, but it changed and I cannot return the setting. Any ideas?

    I recently purchased a second hand new macbook air, although it was second hand to me the previous owner had never actually turned it on.
    Something doesn't make sense here, though I'm not saying the previous owner is lying....
    Time to send your serial # to iTS and let them see what's happening here.

  • TS3048 Genuine Apple Bluetooth Wireless keyboard - Model A1016

    I was given an iMac M6498, wireless keyboard Model A1016 and wireless mouse. The first time I plugged the iMac, the keyboard worked perfectly and the sencond time, it stopped working and it is not recognised. I have changed the batteries and still it's not working.

    They should work.   You do not say if your problem is with the mouse, the keyboard or both. Is there a green power light showing and is it flickering?  
    Here are some Apple comments on the mouse.

    It may require re-pairing.   For that, go to Systems Prefs > Bluetooth.

  • Apple Bluetooth / Wireless Keyboard Low-Battery Indicator?

    Hi All,
    Does the iPad show a low-battery indicator when the Apple wireless keyboard is running out of juice? I know OS X is supposed to, but not sure about iOS. I plan to use my keyboard for meetings and depositions where I'd be in a tight spot if I ran out of juice unexpectedly.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    No, but, "The Apple Wireless Keyboard requires just two AA batteries — one less than the previous model. And its intelligent power management system conserves battery life. *So when you’re not using the keyboard, it automatically powers down. The instant you start typing, it turns back on*. Use the on/off switch when you're away from your computer for a long time."
    From here. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC184LL/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    Carry a spare set of AA batteries just in case.

  • Pairing Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboard with Samsung A-900 phone

    I figured out how to pair my Samsung A-900 phone with my bluetooth keyboard.
    1) Turn keboard off and then back on
    2) on keyboard type "1234" and then press the "return" key
    3) search and attempt to pair with keyboard from phone
    4) put in the password "1234"
    5) it will take a long time with the pairing screen, so I just repeated step 2 here
    6) Pairing sucessfull!
    but after that I cant seem to figure out how to type....
    Any help with the typing issue? at least they are paired ^_^

    What I've gathered so far:
    It has paired with it, made it a registered device, but it has no idea what it is and thus will not connect with it.

  • Using Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboard/mouse with a MacBook

    What is required to use a MacBook with the Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse?
    -- i.e., what 'setup' is required to get the MacBook to recognize those devices and respond to input from them?
    Thanks.

    To be able to use the mouse and keyboard to full effect, such as key combos on boot and all the mouse buttons, its best to install the drivers from the cd that came with the mouse and keyboard.

  • TS3092 My Apple bluetooth wireless keyboard caps lock keeps changing so that sometimes the caps are on when the lights on and sometimes the caps are on when the light is off. How do I control this?

    My caps lock keeps changing. That is, sometimes the caps are locked and the light is on the key and sometimes the caps are on when the light is off. It changes without my knowing it. Also when I hold the shift key down I hear a double click noise which changes the keys in some way. How do I get it to not change?

    Try resetting SMC and NVRAP and then reboot.

    Try booting the Recovery Partition.  Power off, boot and then hold down the Command and R keys.  Is the screen still black?  If so it is not a software problem so take it in for diagnosis and repairs.  Make a Genius Bar reservation http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ or find an Apple Authorized Service Provider https://locate.apple.com/country .
    If you are running Mavericks try upgrading to 10.9.2.  It has a fix for black screen problems.

  • I changed my Apple ID yesterday and got the email saying my new info was verified, however my IPAD still shows my old username and I can't sign in.  Any ideas ?

    I changed my apple ID and got verified but my IPAD still has the old username and won't let me sign in.  Can anyone help ?

    you have to go into Settings > Store > Apple ID: (your old ID should be there)  Click on the old ID.  Sign out.  Then Sign in with your new ID.

  • TS1538 My iPhone froze while installing the new update.  I don't have iTunes on my work computer and I'm on the road.  Any idea how to fix?

    Need help getting iPhone 4s unstuck.  It froze while installing update.  Screen shows iTunes logo and USB plug.

    If your phone is in recovery mode (You see the iTunes graphic on the phone), you MUST connect the device to a computer and restore the operating system.  There is no supported way to get around it.  The device had a problem installing the update and it crashed.  Sorry.

  • I'm missing a HOME key on a new bluetooth wireless keyboard.

    Does anyone know where to find the HOME key on the new smaller bluetooth wireless keyboard? I spilled coffee on my full keyboard and can't bring it back to life. I need the HOME key for a music online service. It returns the playhead on trascription to start.

    You should be able to see the number in your system files/foldes by navigating to:
    Mac:
    /Users/[your user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Lightroom 4.0 Registration
    Windows
    C:\[your user name]\Program Data\Adobe\Lighroom\Lightroom 4.0 Registration

  • Just bought a new mac mini, wireless keyboard, and track pad. My track pad will not synch. All advise I have been given is to change items in the setting menu, but I cant because I still have to get through the setup!!

    Just bought a new mac mini, wireless keyboard, and track pad. My track pad will not synch. All advise I have been given is to change items in the setting menu, but I cant because I still have to get through the setup!!

    The power button for the Trackpad is on the right hand end of the battery case. Press that button to initiate the pairing process. On the top of the Trackpad just above the power button is a tiny green light (you probably cannot see it unless it is lighted). That light will indicate ehther or not the Trackpad is discoverable. If the Trackpad has discoverable the green light will blink on and off. If it does not pair within 3 minutes you will have to press the power button again to re-initiate the pairing process. Once your Trackpad has paired, you can just leave it on and it will pair automatically when you reboot your Mac.
    If you are having problems pairing, try turning off any other Bluetooth devices within 30 or so feet of your Mac mini. That includes other Computers, iPhones, iPads, etc. that may be in the area. Once your Trackpad has pairedwith your mini, you don't have to be concerned about other Bluetooth devices.
    One other hint, I find that although the Wireless Trackpad does not eat batteries as fast as the Magic Mouse it still uses more than the Wireless Keyboard. It is a good idea to keep a supply of AA batteries around. I have used Apple's Rechargable batteries, but found they did not last that long before needing to be recharged. I have had the best battery life from Duracell Quantum batteries.

  • Bluetooth Wireless keyboard lagging pretty badly

    I have had the Bluetooth Wireless keyboard (tiny silver one) for almost a year now, and just the past couple of weeks it has started to lag on me when typing on it. I type a few letters, then have to wait for the beach ball to stop spinning before I can keep going. Back spacing (delete key) is also painfully slow. Batteries aren't the problem, four bars out of five, but changed them anyway to see if it made a difference. It didn't.
    Are these keyboards really only good for a year? I'm about two weeks away from the one year point. I did have the wireless mighty mouse for many months before having to give it up due to many problems, but I just can't give up my tiny wireless keyboard! I love it too much!! Or at least, I used to love it. Now I'm just frustrated.
    My iMac is also set up wirelessly, and I do have very slow back up times too. I had to give up using Time Capsule and Time Machine due to how slow they worked.
    Will my slow wireless network affect the keyboard?
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks in advance, Deb

    Hello deb:
    The wireless network should not (IMHO) have an effect on your Bluetooth devices.
    You could try resetting the PRAM and see if that helps:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I might also reset the SMC (although that might not do anything):
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
    For good measure, trash these two preference files (again, a shot in the dark) and restart:
    com.apple.bezelservices.plist (one in home folder, one in Macintosh HD).
    Barry
    P.S. If that does not help, call Applecare (or go to an Apple store) with a waranty issue (before it expires).

  • "Sticky" keys on apple's wireless keyboard when typing on my ipad.

    I am using apple's wireless keyboard on my ipad. It has worked fine for four months but then last night the keys got "sticky", typing any letter I'm hitting continually until I hit escape. Does anyone know how to set it back to normal typing?
    The on screen keyboard works fine (I'm using it now), but when i switch to the wireless this happens:
    I   cannnnn't't't    tttttyppeeeeeeee      noormallyyyyyyy...............
    I tried changing batteries but that didn't help either. Would really appreciate comments/help!!

    Do you have a computer with Bluetooth that you can test the keyboard with?
    Have you tried going into Settings on the iPad and under Bluetooth tried forgetting the device? You should see the keyboard listed as a device. Pressing the arrow in the blue circle should present an option to forget the device.

  • Using "delete" key on Apple's wireless keyboard shut down applications on my ipad, such as Mail, in Japanese Font.  Any solution?

    I use Apple's wireless keyboard to type email messages on my ipad.  Often applications, such as Mail, would shut down suddenly after using "delete" key on the wireless keyboard.  This happens when I am typing in Japanese language.  It is really annoying because I will lose all the text that are not saved.  Any suggestions? 

    Sorry but that was a completely pointless post.
