10.6.6 won't pair with 1996 wireless keyboard

Finished loading box set (10.6.?) onto a 1996 mini mac from 10.4, bluetooth apple keyboard paired. Did a software update and loaded in 10.6.6 now keyboard shows in bluetooth, but won't pair after typing in the number and hitting return. Gives me "the pairing attempt was unsuccessful. The device is refusing the pairing attempt." Have fresh batteries in the keyboard, and have trashed keyboard preferences and rebooted several times.
Old wireless mouse has no trouble, keyboard never had trouble with 10.4.
Any Ideas (other than keep using the usb keyboard I'm using to type this question?)

make that 2006 in both cases.

  • New mac mini won't pair with new wireless keyboard

    How do you set up a new mac mini with a new wireless keyboard bought separately ... computer does not see the keyboard.
    I've seen this question asked before but the only answer seems to be to get a usb keyboard for set up. So do I need to go out and buy another keyboard to complete the set up or is there a way around this
    Thanks.

    see > New Apple Mac Mini and Apple Wireless Keyboard Un-boxing - YouTube
    If you missed the setup, most any cheap'o generic USB keyboard will work with the Mac Mini.

  • IPad 2 can't pair with iMac wireless Keyboard (late 2009)

    ipad 2 will not pair with wireless keyboard that came with iMac late 2009.
    I've read countless ways to do this in support forums, but no matter what I do, I can not get the ipad 2 to work with my wireless keyboard.
    In settings>bluetooth, I UNCHECKED discoverable for the keyboard, as I've read many times.
    I then clicked the minus button and a box came up ( I can not recall what it said but it basically asked if I wanted to ?remove? the device, and I clicked OK.
    Then, I went to the iPad 2, into bluetooth, and went to pair it. The keyboard was discoverable, and then something with a code came up on the iPad screen, and I clicked OK.
    NOTHING happened, even though it said it was connected.
    I looked at my iMac screen, and there was something there with a code that had to be typed in? This is where I get confused. I disconnected the keyboard, yet I got a box on the iMac screen, asking me to put the code in to pair it with the ipad 2 !  I figured it must be a mistake, because I disconnected the keyboard from the imac.
    well, I tried to key in the code and it worked on the IMAC...which, technically, it should not have been able to do.
    I've watched countless Youtube videos, read through the support forums here and...I can't find anyone with  this same problem and so, I toss it out to you all in Apple Support.
    What could I be doing wrong?? 
    Thanks.

    Spoke with an Apple Care Tech today on this issue:
    Apparently, this is how it works : First, you have to go to BLUE TOOTH and when you see your keyboard, delete it or remove it, and then shut down the computer.
    Then, you must go to your iPAD. (initially, your blue tooth on iPAD should be TURNED OFF- now, turn it ON.
    Press and hold the button on the right side of your keyboard for 5 seconds, and watch for it to blink then go off.
    Next, push the button on the side of the keyboard again, it will go on.
    On your ipad, under Blue Tooth, you will see some numbers and it might say NOT CONNECTED. Click that.
    Be patient and then under that, something like YOUR NAME KEYBOARD will appear. Click it and it will give you a code to type in. Type it in. Be patient. Might not take the first time. Do it again. When the code comes up again, type it in again.
    This worked for me as suddenly the keyboard was paired with the iPAD 2.
    When you want to unpair it, turn blue tooth on the  ipad OFF. Turn your computer back on. Initially your screen will come up to sign in (if you have it set up that way). In a few seconds, you will see that your keyboard has reconnected to your Mac. Sign in and that's that:)

  • New MacBookPro won't pair w/Apple wireless keyboard/mouse

    Error message: The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. If you would like to try a different passcode or pairing method....
    Did every option - no luck! Then I get to a screen that states software issue but according to the updates from my computer and the apple website, I have the latest of everything!

    Do you have another computer to which they may be paired?

  • I just downloaded the newest IOS software and now my iPhone5 won't pair with the Bluetooth in my car (the car system says it's paired when I try to re-pair it but then when n try to make a call it tells me it doesn't recognize the phone.

    I just downloaded the IOS upgrade, 7.0.2, and now my iPhone 5 won't pair with my Bluetooth in my car, despite repeated attempts to re-pair the two and despite the fact it's been paired fine previously.  The car system tells me it's paired but then when I try to make a call I get another message that says there is no paired phone.

    You can't override it no matter what you do. The device has to connect to the server to complete the iOS update. You could try rebooting the iPad and see if that lets you connect to the server after it starts up.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that will not work, you can try connecting to iTunes on your computer and see if the activation will complete. Sometimes when thes activation issues arise, you end up having to restore the device again, but first things first. Reboot and see what happens.

  • My ipod touch 4th gen won't pair with bluetooth audio receiver?

    My ipod touch 4th gen won't pair with my aluratech istream universal bluetooth audio receiver.  It automatically paired the first time I used it, but now will not pair.  I removed the bluetooth receiver from the ipod because it kept saying make sure the receiver device is on and within range.  Now it doesn't even detect the bluetooth receiver.  Any ideas?

    Thank you!  We got the bluetooth receiver to use with our car stereo and our motorcycle stereo and were very frustrated when it quit working.  Thank you for helping me solve the problem!

  • IPhone6 won't pair with BlueTooth on MBPro

    IPhone6, iOS 8.1.1 won't pair with BlueTooth on MBPro nor can I use it as Blue Tooth "hands free" device in my car. Blue Tooth is enabled on the phone and on the MBPro.  I try to "connect to network" on the iPhone, using BT preferences on the MBPro, but get the message "can't connect" . On the MBPro, have gone to Sys. Pref., Network, can see the phone but again get the same message when I try to connect.
    On the phone under the green button (which enables) the BlueTooth, I see the word "other devices" and a spinning beach ball as the phone tries to find additional devices but no joy.
    Have Googled the problem, am reading similar issues - people seem to think it was the new iOS 8.0 and 8.1.1 was supposed to be a fix but it isn't.  Any thoughts out there would be much appreciated.

    Great - finally got our iPhones6 "discoverable" on our car. Whew!!!  Thank you so much.
    But, still can't pair our iPHone with my MBPro.  Follwed directions on your link but no joy....<sigh>
    The MBPro does NOT find the iPhone device. Don't know why......
    However, the biggest problem is solved, hopefully.....that being the car/phone connection.
    Appreciate the assistance.
    thx

  • Bluetooth for iPhone 6 still won't pair with my car after iOS 8.1 update

    So frustrated. I assumed that Apple knew about the problem and that iOS 8.1 would fix what is clearly a very common/widespread issue. Bluetooth is not exactly a new technology... how is it that Apple creates a highly advanced phone, but it can't make a 10-15 years-old technology work?
    I never had any issues with my 5S, but my iPhone 6 has not been able to pair with the Bluetooth in my 2011 Mini Cooper since the day I got it (no phone or BT audio). The 8.1 update has had zero effect on the sequence of events that occur when I try to pair my phone. The car has no problem recognizing the phone, and I can see the car listed under Bluetooth devices, and when I select the car from the list of devices on the phone, the screen to enter the pairing code comes up on my car display. The problem is that the phone never gives me the code to enter into the car display.
    I have tried all the "tricks" people have used to get their BT to work (deleting all phones from car, resetting all phone settings, renaming the phone, etc). Nothing works for me. I really don't want to have to get rid of my 6, but since Apple has never publicly acknowledged the problem, I have no way of knowing if this is ever going to be fixed.
    Really disappointed in you Apple. This is my 3rd iPhone, and you're about to lose a loyal customer if you don't get this sorted out very soon.

    The same problem here.  iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.2 and bmw 328i 2013 with latest Bluetooth update doesn't pair. The phone will see the car in bluetooh settings but fails to connect.  Based on apple tech support I did the following:
    1. powered thr phone down and back on- no help
    2. Removed all other phones from iDrive- no help
    3. Tried with wi if off - no help
    4. Reset network settings- no help
    5. Restored my phone entirely to factory settings- no help
    The phone can pair to other Bluetooth devices and the car can pair with iphone 4 running iOS 7 no problem. my wife's iphone 6 won't pair with my car either.
    I sure hope apple is still working to correct this!

  • Apple keyboard won't pair with any devices

    I just cleaned my niece's apple wireless keyboard using the mister clean magic eraser. I did not removed the batteries in doing so. What happened was the keyboard did not interact properly with the mac that it was connected to. Now I've tried replacing the battery with a new one. I tried pairing this keyboard to my iPad air and macbook pro. It won't pair with both devices. When I tried putting in the numbers that the computer gives me there's a delayed response. Is they keyboard broke. Apple should've placed a reset button on the keyboard. I don't know what to do.

    i just used the mr. clean magic eraser. it's a sponge that you use to wipe out the dirt. it did a good. I just didn't remove the batteries or the KB was on at that time so the LED indicator was blinking. When I was done cleaning my niece notice that it wouldn't funciton properly. I tried pairing it again. I followed that step were you had to hold the power button for 6 seconds to reset it. It still did not pair. I tried pairing it to my mac and ipad air. It won't pair at all. Whenever I type in the code to pair it. It would stop pairing at the first number that I typed. So I don't know what to do next. Apple should've placed a small reset button to reset the whole KB.

    I have to ask,
    Are you making sure you are in park before attempting the sync?   The car won't allow you to do it in motion, whether or not you're the passenger.

  • Z10 won't pair with playbook

    Downloaded BBY Bridge on to Z10, won't pair with Playbook.  Phone says I'm paired but Playbook doesn't see it.  OS on Playbook 2.1.0.1753.  Any help?

    That is normal, if you use the browser on the PlayBook, it will automatically use the Bridge to connect to the Internet when you are on the go, as for the contact andcalendar, well they are already shared through the Calendar and Contact on both device since they both can use the same online source.
    The BBM and the texting program where the only program that needed to be shared using the bridge
    Using the Playbook and the Z10 and the Z30 and loving them
