Hello:
I suspect the keyboard is faulty.
However, before you replace it, try resetting the PRAM and SMC (instructions are in knowledge base articles).

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.

I use an Apple bluetooth keyboard with my iPad. In messages I can't find a way to "send" a message without tapping on Send on the iPad's screen. I've tried every key and key combo that I can think of. Am I missing something?

I already have multiple devices and by far I like my iPad the most over laptops and the iPad. That including checking out my friends MacBook Air.
The difference for me is the touch interface on the screen itself for things that do not require a lot of typing. For me, the iPad is more "magical" than anything else I've used.
Again, I do appreciate your answers but you don't know my situation. Not everything is as it is perceived without knowing me and what I have to go through.

Not sending what I type on Apple Bluetooth keyboard

I have an iPad Air running 8.0.2 and an Apple Bluetooth keyboard. When I type on the keyboard, I don't get what I type for many characters. For example, if I type a "d", I consistently see "ds" on the screen. When I type "q", I consistently see "qz". sometimes it just starts sending "'" repeatedly without me typing anything.
I have tried deleting the keyboard from the Bluetooth (forget this device), taking the batteries out of the keyboard, turning the iPad all the way off, restarting the iPad, putting the batteries back in the keyboard, pairing again, and see the exact same behavior.
I'm seeing this while typing into an email.
I started in 8.0.0 with the same problem and then upgraded. I had not tried to use this keyboard for a while. The batteries were dead, so I put in new ones, paired it again (having removed the pairing earlier) and saw this problem.
Is this some setting that is incorrect? How do I correct this.

thats weird - after iOS8 upgrade, whenever i click on the edit box and start typing nothing happens until I repeatedly tap on the edit box. I find that tapping faster eventually fixes this kb/typing issue

Apple Bluetooth keyboard unsuccessful pairing in Windows 8.1 using Bootcamp 5.1

This is in regards to a MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.4 15" Late 2011. The keyboard is an Apple Bluetooth keyboard.
When I start windows, then open bluetooth devices, then hold down the power button on the keyboard, then click the "Pair" button, suddenly it tells me that the pairing was unsuccessful. I don't ever get to the part where I enter in the numbers into the keyboard, as I know that is the next step.
I have tried going into the device manager and enabling the bluetooth collaboration in the broadcom 802.11 device in the network devices but that doesn't solve my issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

all the windows in the non-primary monitor moves to the primary monitor
For me this only happens when I switch accounts. Does Hibernation work?
Another weird thing that happens then is how I can restore my IE windows. I always use IE Fullscreen when I'm working, so usually after the problem occurs I will find an IE window on my Tablet still in Fullscreen mode. Then, instead of just flipping
it back with Win-Shift-CursorLeft, what I have found works better is to just press F11. Doing that inexplicably restores the IE window on the secondary monitor but no longer in Fullscreen mode. Then pressing F11 again, restores it to Fullscreen
mode still on the secondary. If I try to flip it over normally the recovery procedure is less elegant but I guess equivalent. Fortunately, I usually only have IE windows on that other monitor, so there's not that much inconvenience for me when
it happens--just the slight irritation of the quirkiness.
Actually I just realized there could be another workaround. What happens if you try to use the Win-P function as soon as possible to ensure that the Extend display state is in effect? I think the reason this happens is that both monitors are
not being sensed soon enough, so this could be a way of avoiding that problem. TBD.
Also, I'll try to remember to try Hibernation myself and see what difference it makes. TBD.

My Apple Bluetooth keyboard has stopped working. The top row of keys works but the rest of the keys do not. I was carrying this in my computer bag without turning it off and that is when this started.

My apple bluetooth keyboard has stopped working. The top row of keys works and the iPad sees the bluetooth keyboard (the bluetooth icon is active) but the other keys do not work. For the past coupld of days I have carried my keyboard in my computerbag without turning it off and I am thinking I have done something to make the letter keys to stop working. Two days in a row I did turn on the music as I carried the computer bag into work so I know that some keys were being activated.

*UPDATE*
I have been able to use the Zoom function to zoom in and the keys on the top row no longer are in the non-responsive strip of area.

A1016 Apple Bluetooth Keyboard Pairs, but will not work

I have one of those A1016, 1st generation, Apple Bluetooth keyboards,
had it since late 2008, that will pair via bluetooth setup assistant, I
can enter the passkey on the keyboard and I get the "congratulations
your computer is now setup to use your bluetooth keyboard, message but,
as soon as it is paired the keyboard accepts no input.
The problem started after I left the keyboard in my car overnight, and
switched on, I believe, while the only macbook I had ever used the
keyboard with was with me, 30 miles away. If I had not been in an
extreme hurry at the time I probably would have thought to take the
batteries out of the keyboard.
The battery level, currently, is at about 79%. The light on the caps
lock key does not come on, but the green light on the on switch,
underneath the keyboard, does seem to work, when I first switch it on
that light blinks for a period of time.
Incidentally, the keyboard has been in this condition for a long time,
now, and I deleted com.apple.Bluetooth.plist many times and I repaired
permissions, even with "applejack" and with "iceclean", many times since
the problem started.

Hi Barry, thanks for the quick reply. I am not familiar with "favorites" for BT, but I checked, and of the several BT devices I have re-paired, only the keyboard is NOT a "favorite". Odd thing is, I have no idea how to make a device a "favorite" (or not)! Don't know how it happened for the other devices.
The Apple support document TA2137 says to click on the "add to favorites" button, but I see no such button and no way to make a BT device a "favorite". I have no idea how my other BT devices got so designated. I think I've applied all software updates.
Can you help me on setting that BT "favorite" status?
Thanks,
Dave

Apple bluetooth keyboard lost a key

I'm having a weird issue with my Apple BT keyboard: today I noticed it doesn't respond to the 'six' key, which is easy to check in keyboard viewer. Also, I discovered that when I press control + space I get 'six' reported in the viewer instead of this shortcut.
The key seems OK, nothing looks broken in it, no dirt etc. underneath. Also, changed batteries and checked keyboard with iPad to be sure it's not something else.
Any way I can bring it back to life?

Out of curiousity I did a google search for "replacement keys for apple bluetooth keyboard" and got potential candidate hits that may (or may not) help you. Here's two that looked interesting:
Apple iMac ALUMINUM Replacement Keyboard Keys
Apple Wireless Aluminum Keyboard Key (BLUETOOTH) A1314
and this,
How do I Replace a Broken Keyboard Key?
Maybe some of the other hits are more useful I don't know.
Good luck.

HT4111 Does anyone know how I can restore spell correct, auto correct and auto cap which was lost when I paired my Apple Bluetooth keyboard with my iPAD3?

Lost AUTO CORRECT, AUTO CAP and SPELLING CHECK after connecting my Apple Bluetooth keyboard to my iPAD3, updated to iOS 6.1.3, didn't I?. The lost features are in the on position in settings, aren't they? Anybody out there with a remedy?

Read this ASC discussion that I found by using Google. I don't know if you have seen and if you haven't, it's worth a look.

My Apple bluetooth keyboard synchs but won't type.

My Apple bluetooth keyboard synchs with my iPhone 4s, and will control screen brightness and sound volume, but characters don't appear when I type. The keyboard worked without problems some months back (before latest IOS update). Are there any fixes for this?

Apple Bluetooth Keyboard crashes MBPro

I normally use the Apple USB keyboard and a Magic Mouse on my MacBook Pro 15", Core i7 when I'm at home and using the external monitor. Today, I decided to try my Apple Bluetooth keyboard to see if I would like using a keyboard without the keypad when I'm at home like I have to do when traveling. I just made the connection this morning and within 4 hours I got 2 kernel panic crashes of the MacBook Pro. The USB keyboard was still connected at the time but pushed back on the desk throughout.
After the 2nd one, I turned the bluetooth keyboard off and went back to the USB one and have not had another crash for over 4 hours. I still have the Magic Mouse connected via Bluetooth and it continues to work just fine. Laptop has all available updates applied that are available as of today.
Anyone else ever see this symptom or anything like it?

I might be seeing something somewhat like this, but I don't have a great solution to offer.
I recently got a new MacBook Pro while traveling. Now that I'm home again and have my Bluetooth peripherals available, I notice that Bluetooth keeps cutting out. I have one Apple Wireless keyboard at home and one at work. I have a third-party Bluetooth mouse at each location, and a "notebook mouse" that I carry as well. This last is generally turned off, but I've pulled it out to try it when the problem strikes. It seems to suffer the same general problem as the other peripherals. (I also like to use the MacBook Pro with the lid closed, plugged into an external display. I sometimes have USB and FireWire 800 devices connected as well.)
Often when I switch between home and work, Bluetooth becomes unresponsive. Sometimes neither the keyboard nor mouse works. Sometimes one will, but once I turn Bluetooth off, I can't turn it back on. I've had one definite kernel panic (multilingual gray screen), and a couple of cases where I couldn't tell because the computer had a black screen and was simply unresponsive.
What prompted me to turn to the forum was what happened a few minutes ago. Both keyboard and mouse were working fine this morning. The mouse low-battery indicator light began flashing, so I replaced the batteries, but the MacBook Pro would not recognize the mouse. The keyboard continued to work. I turned off Bluetooth, but then I could not turn it on again. Of course, neither peripheral works now.
I've discovered that, while simply restarting the MacBook Pro does not help restore Bluetooth, shutting down, waiting a minute, and then restarting does. Not an ideal solution, but it works until I can get a better fix.

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:

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.

Keyboard Update Broke Apple Bluetooth Keyboard

Nice going, Apple. Your handy little update now prevents my (formerly) flawlessly working Apple Bluetooth keyboard from pairing. Bravo! Maybe you can teach Microsoft some lessons...

Have you tried deleting the pairing and then using the Bluetooth Setup Assistant to re-pair with your iMac?
