Apple Bluetooth alu keyboard

Hi, I don't understand why, my Alu bt keyboard, from Apple, shows me the batter ay 76% even though they are completely charged and new (tried different batteries).
Any suggestion?

You are a genius! Should I use 1.5v instead?
If the KB is working as it should, no reason to use 1.5V (and you already spent the money on the rechargeables, so why not use them, and most current rechargeables are more environmentally friendly than throw-away batts).

  • 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.

    HellO:
    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).

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Using apple bluetooth mosue + keyboard

    hi guys,
    going to order my macbook pro sometime soon, just wanted to ask
    with the routine for using an external display being to put the laptop to sleep, plug the power, monitor etc in, and they wake it up using the keyboard or mouse.
    will either a bluetooth keyboard or mouse wake the macbook pro up from sleep? or does the connection have to be a wired USB one?
    thanks guys

    bpeacock22,
    There are a couple of things you did not specify such as: when you come back, is your computer on sleep mode or off? If it is on sleep mode do not expect that your mac will recognize your mouse. it might happens sometimes but it is not the default behaviour. You need to wake you computer up and then see if the mouse connects, if it doesn't turn it off and turn it back on.
    Also, make sure you have good batteries on the mouse specially if you have other wireless devices around it. You can see the batteries charge if you look at System Preferences --> Keyboard & Mouse --> Bluetooth.
    This is what I do, I use my mac in the office so when I leave (if I remember) I turn off the mouse that way when I come back if my mac on sleep mode I wake it up and turn on the mouse, it detects it without any problems. If it is off, I turn on the mouse then I turn on the mac. Never had any problems with it.
    Let me know if it helps.

  • 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.

  • 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.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    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.

  • Function keys are not working on a paired apple bluetooth keyboard

    hello, I just got this apple bluetooth keyboard and paired it to my ipad2. The letter and number keys are working perfectly fine, but my ipad will not respond to F1 to F12 keys,I tried Fn+F1-F12 they are not working. Then I tried to restart both my ipad and keyboard but the problem is still there. Additionally, Command+arrows can't function either. command+space is working though. Could some one please help? thanks a lot!

    It might have been functionality that Apple has removed in the current version of iOS.  This old web article says the function keys worked in iOS3, but that's a couple of years ago:

  • Apple Bluetooth keyboard

    Hi
    I have a Ipad 1 and a Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboard.
    I was wondering if there are on buttons on the keyboard which will control the Ipad.
    James

    James-
    The top row of keys on my MC184LL/A Apple Wireless Keyboard will control brightness (F1,F2) and speaker volume (F10, F11, F12).  The other F-keys are App dependent.
    When working with text, the arrow keys control the cursor.  Command-C copies highlighted text to the clipboard.  Command-X copies and deletes.  Command-V pastes to the current cursor location.
    There are reports that the latest version of Apple's wireless keyboard does not control the iPad like my two-year-old model does.  If yours does not, I suggest you report it to Apple by providing Feedback at <iPad Feedback>.  If enough people let them know about it, they may be able to correct the problem in a future iOS update.

  • My Apple blue tooth keyboard will not pair with my mac mini

    My Apple wireless keyboard was paired with my Mac Mini. It is no longer paired. I have put in new Batteries. I have pressed the button on the top right hand section of the keyboard, the green led lights up briefly. The Blue Tooth set up assistant appears on screen and searches for the keyboard. I has brifly seen it but does not make a connection. The Magic moose is doing the same thing.

    Hi Darrell,
    If your Apple Bluetooth and keyboard are not paring to your Mac Mini, then take a look at the article below to walk you through some general troubleshooting to get it to pair and start working again. If you have not done so already, try looking form anything could be causing interference like cordless phones as well and thing metal between the keyboard and the Mac Mini.

  • Bluetooth mouse, keyboard, cinema display + Powerbook?

    I'm posting this here because it incorporates displays and peripherals as well as the behavior of the PB when all are plugged in...
    I have an ADC 23" cinema display that doesn't get used anywhere near enough. I got a 17" Powerbook about a year ago and since them my G5 sits idle most of the time.
    I want to put the display to better use by using it with my powerbook at work. I don't want to run two displays - I'd rather just use the big display.
    So my question is... if I buy an apple bluetooth pro keyboard and a third party multi-button bluetooth mouse (any suggestions?) as well as a DVI-ADC converter, can I leave the powerbook in clamshell mode?
    I want to be able to bring my sleeping powerbook into work with me, plug in the DVI and ethernet cables and hit the spacebar on the wireless keyboard to wake it up. (can you wake a sleeping mac with a bluetooth keyboard?).
    Is this possible? Will this setup work? TIA.

    Well, parts of your setup will work, and parts won't. The monitor and adc-dvi combination should work out fine, and from what I understand you can keep the powerbook almost completly closed while you use an external display, but you may what to research it a little more. There are a lot of discussions about this in the monitors section. Now, as far as the bluetooth devices waking up the computer, they can, but only after they have been paired. So you could not just walk in and wake the computer up. You would need to open the laptop up, connect the dvi cable, and turn on the blutooth devices and let them pair to the computer. Then you could close the lid. I think the agrument here is whether you can close it all the way and you can get an anwser to that in the monitors section of the forum. In terms of bluetooth mice, I use and highly reccommend radtech mice. They work very well, however their battery life is short and the travelling version is very small. I would highly reccommend rechargeable batteries. Hope I answered most of your questions. -Justin
