Pairing with brand new 2008 bluetooth keyboard, Boot Camp 2.0

I have a very simple question. I've searched the forums and seen a lot of information about older versions of Boot Camp, old drivers, and a lot of problems. However, none of these answers have really helped.
I have a brand new Bluetooth keyboard - brand new, as in bought it last week.
I have a relatively new MacBook Pro. Relatively new, as in bought it six months ago.
The Bluetooth keyboard works stunningly well under OS X 10.5.4. I'm using it right now. It works. I don't want that to stop.
So the question: can I have the keyboard work under BOTH Windows XP (under boot camp) AND OS X?
I did try to see if I could make it work....
1. Reboot under XP (boot camp whatever the latest version is, I installed boot camp two weeks ago).
2. Select Control Panel - Bluetooth Devices
3. Check the box
4. Press button on right side of keyboard
5. Quickly press "next" button.
The first time I did this, the keyboard came up in the dialog box. It then asked me for a pass key, which I typed on my laptop's keyboard. I then tried typing the same pass key (my phone #) on the bluetooth keyboard and pressing Enter. The dialog box closed.
The keyboard did not work. At all.
Rebooted Windows. Keyboard still did not work. "Did not work" means did not register any key presses at all in the Notepad application.
The second time I tried steps 1-5 I got a different result. Instead of listing my keyboard, the Bluetooth wizard couldn't find a keyboard, or any nearby bluetooth devices.
So, if I 'un pair' the keyboard under OS X, and then 're pair' the keyboard under Windows, will I then need to 'un pair' the keyboard under Windows and then 're pair' it under OS X to make it work?

I paired my brand new Bluetooth keyboard (3 days old) with both the OSX and WinXP sides of my Mac Pro without a problem. I did OSX first and then Windows. On the Windows side it displayed a passkey but never gave me a chance to enter it on the keyboard. It just moved on to the next dialog screen and from then on it worked.

TS1569 Brand new wireless aluminum keyboard will not accept passcode

.......... to pair with brand new macbook air. Apple Care support can't figure this out. Just tried a second, identical keyboard in two days. Same issue. First keyboard worked flawlessly with mid 2010 macbook pro. I'm ******!

I just does not accept that it should be nessecarry to use a usb keyboard when buying a brand new mac!
And luckily I managed to solve this in the end
My setup was is with a keyboard that was previously paired worth my MBP, and I tried a lot of things, but what did it in the end was this:
First I unpaired the keyboard from the MBP using http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1809?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US. Only, this time I ignored the first step which reads: "Press and release the On/Off switch on the wireless keyboard to turn it off." Thinking of it, how would the the keyboard know that it is unpaired, if it is turned off?
The 2 thing I did differently this time was that I did not power on the keyboard until it actually said so on the screen. This means that I powered on the Mini, waited until I had selected the language using the Trackpad, waited until the "Connect Keyboard" dialog appeared on the screen. Then I turned on the keyboard in pairing mode...
That's basically what I did to be successful! Hope it will help somebody else

IPod touch 3G (iOS 4) & pairing with original white Apple bluetoot keyboard

Hi,
I'm having trouble pairing my original Apple bluetooth keyboard (plastic white model) with the iPod touch 3G (upgraded to iOS 4). The iPod touch can see the keyboard but it doesn't pair with it. No passcode ever shows up. However, when I press the return key on the keyboard, a dialog box on the iPod touch pops up very quickly with the passcode that I should enter, and then it immediately pops up another dialog box to say it can't pair because wrong passcode was entered.
My iPod touch 3G can pair with my new aluminium Apple bluetooth keyboard though.
Any help with how to pair it with the original white plastic Apple bluetooth keyboard? I haven't been able to find a firmware update for the keyboard. Maybe there is one?
Thanks!

i jailbroke it though for testing apps a friend of mine made and its proved because ive also changed the boot logo and thats seen in the boot loop so the warranty thing might be now voided ive used it fine for 3 months this way until now

My Iphone 3GS with IOS 5.1 won't pair with my Mercedes ML350 bluetooth

Why doesn't my IPhone 3GS with IOS5.1 pair with my Mercedes ML350 bluetooth?

Sorry, I haven't a clue. However, in "pairing" phones, I've found that it's not a perfect science and most of the time, if I keep making an attempt, my phone does pair. Today, I finally got around to pairing my new 4S with my Ford Flex. Same story, the first 3 or 4 attempts crashed. Then for some unknown reason, doing the same procedure, the phone did pair with my Flex.

E71 Does not pair with Audio Blue-Ant bluetooth ea...

How can I get the E71 to recognize/pair with Blue-Ant earpiece (bluetooth connection). It will not detect it when attempting to pair.

The new 8.0.2 update DID NOT FIX THIS ISSUE AT ALL. After you power off and on with the phone, same issue as the 8.0, all 3 of my cars lost Bluetooth connection and shows no signal at all. Good job Apple, what a lousy update you guys did.

New-imac-early-adopters-boot-camp

Just got this from a google alert.
Anyone knows if paralels is also not comparable with the new imacs?
http://bgr.com/2012/12/19/new-imac-early-adopters-boot-camp-259318/

It is because of the 3TB drive. Since BC needs to create a FAT volume for Windows to install to it can't do that on that large a drive, 2TB limit.
There was a post the other day how to get around this and use BC to install Windows. It has to do with Partitioning the drive to a smaller size from a Boot disc/USB thumb.

I erased my windows partition using disk utility then realized I should have used boot camp, because now I can't resize the original partition and seem to be stuck with a ghost unusable space. Boot Camp now doesn't give me the option to install or re

I erased my windows partition using disk utility then realized I should have used boot camp, because now I can't resize the original partition and seem to be stuck with a ghost unusable space. Boot Camp now doesn't give me the option to install or remove windows partition.

Hi, Ralph,
The problem is that I did erase the partition, using disk utility, but I can't go back to my original disk size pre-partition, as disk utility won't let me do it and gives the message "Couldn’t modify partition map because file system verification failed." When I try to use Boot Camp Assistant it won't let me select the third option to remove windows.

Kernel Panics with Brand New Macbook Pro

Hey guys,
I've experience two kernel panics since purchasing my Brand new MBP three days ago. I really just want the problem to end, this is a new piece of equipment, it should function perfectly. At the time of the panic I had a Lacie 1TB USB HD plugged directly into the computer, a 4 port usb hub on which a USB keyboard and thumb drive and mouse were plugged in.

Both panics have been reported to Apple promptly after they happened. Any help is really appreciated. As I said before, I just really want my computer to work with no issue. The thing's brand new!
Also: since the panic I have moved the usb keyboard from the hub to a port directly on the computer.
Thanks for your help!

Remove all the external devices you have connected. If any of the USB peripherals required installing software such as drivers, then you should uninstall the software as well as disconnecting the device to prevent panics. If no kernel panics occur after using the computer this way, then the problem is related to one or more of the peripherals you are using. Based on the panic log information the likely candidates are one or more of the USB devices you are using.

Can a link 5 usb key paired with hp's wireless elite keyboard?

Hi, I have a link 5 wireless mouse and a old hp's wireless elite keyboard. I don't know if they both use bluetooth or one is bluetootha and the other 2.4GHz or not. But can a link 5 usb key paired with a hp's version 1 wireless keyboard? If not, how can I get a wireless usb key for my hp wireless eilte keyboard?

Hello,

Brand new iMac won't boot :-(

Hi All,
I just got a brand new iMac. I did a clean install of Leopard, imported a couple of CDs into iTunes, and then thought I'd give Bootcamp a go.
I created the disk and the machine duly rebooted into Windows setup. As the installer couldn't see the Bootcamp partition (I was using XP without SP2). I told the installer to quit and reboot.
Now all I get is a hanging white screen when I power up my iMac. If i hold down the Alt key I get a mouse pointer which locks up after a couple of seconds and that's it.
I've tried:
- Holding down alt on bootup - this brings up a pointer which locks after about 2 seconds
- Holding down alt+C - with Leopard in the drive - nothing happens
- Zapping the PVRAM - AltCMD+PR" - this had no effect
- Resetting the SMU - hold down power whilst plugging in - now all the fans are running at maximum speed
- An open firmware update as per this post:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5984118
Is the machine completely toast?

The same thing happened to me this last week. After talking to Apple on the phone for hours they decided that it was dead and declared it doa (even though it was working for a few hours before boot camp). I am getting my new one this week. I can promise you that boot camp will not be put used on this one.

Brand new iMac will not boot, just make's funny "bonk" sound.

I have a brand new iMac (Intel, 20-inch flat panel). Just out of the box. Ran through set-up wizard. Used firewire to transfer files from an old CRT iMac. All was good for about an hour.
Tried to empty the trash. Finder says Trash was emptied, but, if I open the Trash, the 50-odd files I just deleted are still visible! If I try to select one, its icon immediately disappears. Hmmm....
I decide it's time to restart.
Upon restart, computer will not boot.
I push the power button. I hear the startup chime as usual. Screen lights up gray. But no apple logo on the screen. There is a long pause. Screen remains gray. Computer then starts making a soft "bonk" sound every 4-5 seconds. (Kind of hard to describe the sound, just imagine clipping the very first fraction of a second of the normal Mac startup chime, and repeating it every couple seconds.) This continues indefinitely.
If someone has experienced this, or has advice, please let me know your thoughts. Feeling rather bummed. Thanks in advance!!!
iMac Intel 20-inch 2.16 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Boot from the Install Disk 1
I cannot boot at all (see my post above). The
machine just sits there with a blank gray screen.
I appreciate the article link, though. I've already
read it and it will make a great reference for the
future, provided I can get back to a place where this
iMac actually runs.
Since you're new to Macs, I'm sure you don't realize that while your iMac is sitting there with only a gray screen, you can insert/push in "Install Disc 1" - and it will be accepted. Then press and hold down the power button until iMac shuts down. After waiting a few seconds until everything has settled, press power button and immediately upon hearing the usual Mac startup tone/chime/chord hold down the "c" key until you see the spinning progress indicator below the Apple logo. It will boot to the DVD, you will be able to use (from the Utilties pull-down menu) Disk Utility to "repair" the hard drive directory, then you will be able to quit the installation process, choose Startup Disk from that same Utilities pull-down, and restart your iMac:)

My iPhone will not pair with any devices on bluetooth, help?

I can't seem to pair my iPhone 4 with any other phones or devices.

PAISLEYSAINT
I have a THB Bury car phone cradle specific to the iPhone 4 which was working fine until I updated to iOS 5.1.1 - my phone will no longer pair with it or recognise it or any other Bluetooth device !
I carried out a full reset and relaunched the phone as if it were new - no success
I took the phone to the appple store and one of the Geniuses looked at it for me. He told me it was not designed to 'discover' other BT devices after he paired it with his MacBook but could not pair the devices in the opposite direction - i.e my phone to the MacBook. I thought this strange that the premier smart phone on the market should not have this function especially when it previously worked well.
He also carried out a full reset which is deeper than the one you can do at home - no success.
The genius would not accept that this was a fault and claimed not to be aware of any issues but offered to have it repaired for around £116 !!!
Incidentally my phone is just outside its warranty and his phone would not pair up either when I asked him to check.
THis is useless to me !! I understand Apple don't want to support BT function that allows it customers to send files between devices but come on ! My £90 BT car cradle kit is now useless and cannot be paired via my iPhone.
I now really have to consider using a smart phone that will work.
I love apple stuff and currently own no less than four different devices and was considering a new mac but not now. I feel let down by apple.
DIssapointed !:-(
iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1
I have this question too (0)

Brand new apple wire keyboard is "drawing too much power." Why? How do I fix this?

Just bought a brand new Apple iMac, not even a week old. It came with a wired keyboard with numberpad. I accidently left the computer asleep over night and upon returning to it, everything seemed fine. For probably an hour or so, there were no problems, then I started getting spammed with this message; "Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled." At the time I have a usb extention, external harddrive, and keyboard plugged into the ports. After removing both the external hardrive and extention, the message coninued to pop, muliplying itself if you did not close it. After researching and doing a little experimenting I was able to determine that the usb port on the right side of my keyboard is the one being disabled. (A mouse will not work when plugged into the port but will on the left side) I have also restarted the computer, shut it down,unplugged it, and started it again. The message returns immediately upon reactivation. As I type this I am being consistantly interupted by the message. I do not have a second keyboard nor am I planning on purchasing one. I am disapointed in this malfunction of a brand new product. Please asist me in resolving this.
Thanks.

Ryan, try resetting the SMC
To reset the SMC
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer
