Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and the PS3.

Hi all,
I spotted a discussion on this topic that has since been archived with no solution. After a bit of head scratching I have found it.
To connect your the latest Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard to a PS3, enter Settings>Accessory Settings>Manage Bluetooth Devices>Scan.
When the apple keyboard is found, enter the code.
Here is where it is tricky! The Playstation asked that following the code entry you press enter. Pressing the "return" button on the keyboard does not work. On the same "return" button, in smaller writing is the word "Enter". So you must press and hold "Shift" + "Enter (Right after)".
Hold both for two seconds and presto, connection!

Hello iPhone3GUser,
Thank you for your posting and your question.
Unfortunately, melchiori is correct in this case, the Bluetooth support which comes with the iPhone 3G firmware 2.1 only supports Bluetooth headsets, i.e. the Bluetooth headset and handsfree profiles. I myself have an iPhone 3G and first discovered these limitations after I purchased, I was actually looking forward to using my iPhone 3G with my FreePulse headset.
Sadly, we can only hope that future firmware updates from Apple will enable more use of the Bluetooth functionality of the iPhone 3G.

  • Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Playstation 3

    My keyboard is currently paired with my laptop, but I also paired it succesfully to my PS3. Immediately after pairing it, I could use my keyboard and the PS3 without any problems. The next day, however, when I turn on my PS3 and try to connect it to the keyboard while it is in scanning mode, it returns an error saying "A connection could not be established." (80010005) The bluetooth on my keyboard is off so that the keyboard will scan as opposed to automatically connect to the PS3. If I repair my keyboard to the PS3, I can use it until I turn off my PS3. When it turns back on, it won't connect. You can see how annoying this must be.
    What's going? Anyone having any similar issues? Is this a problem with the Apple keyboard or with the PS3? I don't see any reason why it shouldn't connect. Any ideas?

    Men, I think the solution it's just simple...
    After you turn on your PS3 console and you added your keyboard to your PS3 bluetooth accessories list the only thing to do is:
    You have to turn on your keyboard and you will see a green led light, it will stay on just for a few seconds, you have to press the F1 key a few times very quickly, I think with four or five times is enough... you have to repeat this simple procedure every time you will use your keyboard with your PS3...
    bye, Sancrog...

  • I am having trouble getting my My Mac Book Pro 15" Retina to wake up with an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse while Docked in a Hengedock vertical docking station.

    I am having trouble getting my My Mac Book Pro 15" Retina to wake up with an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse while Docked in a Hengedock vertical docking station. The Keyboard and mouse work great with the laptop lid open but when closed in the docking station the bluetooth signal does not seem to transmit.  Is there a setting that can be changed to allow an Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to wake the computer while docked?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Mac Mini 2014 with Apple bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse

    Hi all,
    I'm currently in the process of moving from my old MacBook to a Mac Mini 2014 and I have a couple of questions regarding functionality of the Apple bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse with the Mac Mini.
    As these are the only keyboard and mouse I have available to me as I currently only have the one computer in the house, I'm wondering how I will pair them with my new Mac Mini (arriving next week for Christmas) without a wired user input device (keyboard or mouse). When I paired them with my MacBook, I of course had its trackpad and keyboard to navigate through the various steps, but as the Mac Mini does not have these, how does the pairing process work? Will I have to get my hands on a wired mouse/keyboard? I'm asking in advance because I need to get my new system up and running to start work on 27th December and so I need to know if I should pick up a cheap wired mouse/keyboard in advance.
    My second question relates to the Mac Mini, Apple bluetooth keyboard and Boot Camp. Usually, when I want to boot into Windows on my MacBook, I hold down the Option/Alt key on my MacBook's built-in keyboard to be given the choice of operating systems. Sometimes when I do this using the bluetooth keyboard, it hasn't paired in time and it boots straight into OS X, so I have to wait until that has booted, shut down and then try again. Clearly, this might be a problem on a Mac Mini if I have urgent work I need to complete in Windows, so rebooting over and over until my keyboard finally pairs in time isn't desirable. Any tips here would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    If you unpair your BT KB and mouse from the old computer they should pair during the initial setup of the Mini. However, sometimes they donot a wired KB and mouse is required. You can use any USB PC KB and mouse.
    Once you get the BT KB to work you can use the Option key on the BT KB while booting to get your choice of OS to boot into.

  • Apple Bluetooth keyboard shows the wrong letters when pressed

    Hi,
    My apple bluetooth keyboard shows the wrong letters when I write on it. If I press "c", the letter "d" shows on the screen instead. The bottom row of letters mimicks the row just above. I've tried unpairing and paring the keyboard again with my computer and my ipad. Same error. Tried resetting the pram and the smc and it still doesn't work. Changed the batteries in the keyboard and no change. I've removed some plist file (com.apple.BezelService) and its lock file like someone recommended in a youtube video. I've also checked the keyboard settings and can't find anything that seems weird.
    Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix it or do I have to buy a new keyboard?
    /Andreas

    Before you buy a new one, take it to an Apple store (if one is near you) and have them look at it.

  • Buzz / Hiss sound when using apple bluetooth keyboard and mouse w/heaphones

    When I use the apple wireless (bluetooth) keyboard and mouse with my 1.42Ghz G4 Mac mini, there is a constant buzzing or hissing noise. When I turn the keyboard and mouse off, it stops. I've updated the firmware on my mac mini, but I couldn't update the firmware on my keyboard and mouse:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301282
    (thanks, apple)
    Is there a way to fix this noise? Would updating the firmware solve this? Has anyone else experienced it? It's driving me crazy!
    Thanks!

    would you have another computer available that has 10.3 on it? it would probably help. pmu reset may also help http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300574. good luck. [ : ) ]

  • Pairing Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Magic Mouse Windows 7 64-bit

    Evening Apple Forum!
    I'm camping with a problem regarding the pairing of my two bluetooth devices: the bluetooth keyboard by Apple and the Magic Mouse in Windows.
    I'm running Windows 7 64-bit through Boot Camp 3.1.
    I have tried pairing them as I normally would, turn on the device and then let the MacBook search for bluetooth devices. This, however, didn't work out for both the keyboard and the mouse.
    After some searching in several forums, I wondered if I had to update the driver operating Bluetooth in general. I came to the conclusion this wasn't needed after checking the 'Device Manager' in Windows. The Device Manager displayed under 'Bluetooth Radios' two drivers:
    - Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth
    - Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator
    This seemed fine.
    After this, I read through a .pdf file regarding Boot Camp directly from Apple, which pointed me towards another method of pairing the bluetooth devices: the devices had to be turned off before or while the MacBook was searching and turned on again after that. Sadly this didn't do anything either.
    I'm clueless, I have no idea whatsoever how to get this to work. This support forum is always a last resort for me because usually I can deal with a problem myself by basic knowledge or reading some forums. This isn't the case this time.
    If anyone has an idea of how to pair these devices to my MacBook, feel free to reply.
    Thanks!

    I've found the solution here on the forum:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11491400&#11207285
    All I did was unpair my mouse on Mac and then pair the mouse on Windows 7 and finally re-pair the mouse on Mac. It worked perfectly. It seems that Windows 7 likes exclusivity.

  • Apple bluetooth keyboard and bootcamp

    I cannot get the apple wireless keyboard to work with my Mac Pro (Feb-2008 model) under bootcamp and Vista Home Premium 64. I had to upgrade from 10.5.1 in order to use Final Cut Studio 3, so I downloaded and installed OSX 10.5.8 update. Then I ran bootcamp and installed Vista 64. Afterwards, in Vista I inserted the original OSX 10.5.1 DVD and installed the drivers so Vista would recognize the apple hardware.
    I went to pair the wireless mighty mouse and apple keyboard and the instructions say to enter 0000 for the mouse, and enter an 8 digit or larger number for the keyboard. Since the keyboard doesn't work, I couldn't enter anything so I let the system choose a number for the keyboard and let the mouse go without a number. Both show they are connected but only the mouse works. I also tried letting the system generate a number for both but only the mouse works. I tried turning off the mouse but then the system doesn't detect the keyboard at all. For that matter, I don't even like the mighty mouse anyway and prefer to use the mouse with my Wacom tablet so I could do without the mighty mouse if that would somehow help.
    Is there a known issue with 10.5.8 and bluetooth under windows vista 64? What should I do? I must have Vista 64 in order to utilize 3ds Max 2010 and I must have a keyboard to use 3ds Max. Is there a driver I can download to make it work or do I need to buy a generic USB keyboard?
    Thanks in advace for any help with this. I am looking forward to finally getting this Mac all set up.

  • Apple bluetooth keyboard and Magic Trackpad are sluggish and constantly disconnecting - I'm in pain

    Dear Apple,
    Bluetooth issues are damaging my job as I rely on external display and periphery.
    The connection is not interrupted too often like it was before 10.10.3,
    but it still does, and when it doesn’t - the performance is very sluggish.
    If you can’t make bluetooth work, could you please give us wired options for smaller keyboard and magic trackpad?
    Thanks.

    Please open the Network preference pane and delete any Bluetooth items from the service list. Apply the changes and see whether there's an improvement.

  • Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Numbers

    Hello, I am using the bluetooth keyboard for numbers on ipad and was wondering if there is a list of command shortcuts that I can use with numbers for ipad. I have tried using the tab key to advance to the next cell, but it does not seem to work.
    Any help appreciated.

    I can't get the tab or arrow keys to work in Numbers or Docs to Go spreadsheets. It must be a glitch in the iPad itself if neither spreadsheet program works with the Bluetooth Keyboard tab or arrow keys. I think I will send Apple feedback on this problem so they can address it.

  • Apple bluetooth keyboard and a PC

    Hi,
    I'm selling my Apple wireless keyboard on eBay (the white one) and i've been asked if it works on a bluetooth enabled PC.
    Does anyone know???
    Thanks in advance,

    My only experience is with the Mouse.
    It works just fine in Windows. When you pair it up you need to use the password 0000. (That's in the manual)
    It does not show you a battery meter though so you will be guessing about the status of the battery.
    You will want to keep a USB mouse around to set it up for the first time. Windows will not automatically ask you to pair up a mouse if it doesn't detect a USB mouse is present.
    I expect the keyboard is exactly the same. Bluetooth is a standard for both Mac and Windows operating systems.

  • 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.

  • 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 not 'discovered.'

    I just bought a new Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and a D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth Adaptor.
    Though System Preferences (10.3.9) shows Bluetooth and the Bluetooth icon appears in the menu bar... the keyboard refuses to be 'discovered.' I have tried numerous USB ports (both directly on my box and a USB 1.1/2.0 card installed) and have flipped the keyboard on/off switch back-and-forth for each USB port I've tried. Still the keyboard is not 'discovered.'
    This is on a G3 B/W with numerous upgrades. Otherwise this box has been superb since I bought it right after it was originally released.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hey there GreggRocky,
    It sounds like your bluetooth keyboard profile is setup in your Bluetooth preferences but is not pairing up like it is supposed to. I want to recommend removing the device from your bluetooth preferences and setting it back up.
    1. Choose Apple menu -> System Preferences.
    2. Click Bluetooth.
    3. Click Devices.
    4. Select the device you want to delete from the Bluetooth Devices listing.
    5. Click the Delete Pairing button.
    6. Click Delete or "Disconnect and Delete".
