Apple Bluetooth Keyboard in Windows 7 = no connection

Hi,
I have the thick version of the bluetooth apple keyboard. The problem is that I can't seem to sync my keyboard with Windows 7. I have successfully synced my mighty mouse by deleting the bluetooth preferences in the OS X side and syncing it on the Windows side, but the same does not work for the keyboard. In an attempt to sync my keyboard, I go to the bluetooth preferences and it is viewed as an available device, but once I click connect, the blue orb thingy keeps on going and going in its circle. I have tried updating drivers and nothing seems to work.

I am having a similar problem, but I haven't been so fortunate as to find a solution. Before loading the boot camp drivers, my keyboard works but the mouse does not. When I load the drivers from the disc, the mouse works if I right click it's icon and enable HID driver. But when I click the keyboard icon, I don't get the same option, and the keyboard keeps reappearing as either "username's keyboard" or "keyboard", and I can't connect to it. Any suggestions?

  • Multiple Apple Bluetooth Keyboards Require Reboot to Connect

    Hello - I'm running Windows 8.1 in Bootcamp. I have an Apple bluetooth keyboard at home as well as at work. If I'm connected to one (e.g. at home), the work keyboard is not recognized - unless I reboot. I've tried manually switching to each keyboard, but it states that it cannot recognize it. Is there anyway to easily switch keyboards without rebooting? TIA.

    From other sites that I've read, it appears that you need to boot to Mac OS to connect to the "other" keyboard and then boot into bootcamp....is the only way to go. If anybody else has suggestions, please let me know. Thanks!

  • Apple Bluetooth Keyboard under Windows

    Guys I can't get the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard to work under windows when I start my MBP in XP...I can discover it and then it pairs with it, but in the end no key will work :/

    From Apple:
    Are there any Macintosh features that I should not expect to work when running Windows XP on an Intel-based Macintosh computer?
    Even after installling the Macintosh Drivers CD, the Apple Remote Control (IR), Apple Wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard or mouse, Apple USB Modem, MacBook Pro's sudden motion sensor, MacBook Pro's ambient light sensor, and built-in iSight camera will not function correctly when running Windows.

  • Apple bluetooth keyboard in windows

    I'm using a custom built Windows PC with an Apple keyboard.
    I was wondering if there were any drivers (from Apple or third party) which allowed me to use the function keys of the Apple keyboard with Windows 8.

  • Apple Bluetooth Keyboard in a Windows XP window

    Hi,
    my problem is this:
    I have a Macbook Air with OS X 10.6 on it. Connected via Ethernet i have a PC running Windows XP. The Macbooks internal keyboard works without problem in the XP window, but when I use an external Apple Bluetooth Keyboard (this one: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC184LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA1Mg&mco=MTMzNzg5MDM) it doesn't work at all in the XP window – but without problems everywhere else in the Mac.
    Any ideas what can be wrong? It used to work just fine before.
    Cheers,

  • 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.

  • Apple Bluetooth Keyboard Not Connecting

    Hello,
      I have an iPad 3 (model MD340LL/A) given to me by my school and the standard Apple Bluetooth keyboard.  Last year, I used the keyboard with my iPad without a problem.  However, my school collected our iPads over summer and did a software reset on them and set them up with their own system (a few standard apple apps are disabled).  Since I got my iPad back, my keyboard will not connect to it.  The iPad is physically the same one I had last year, but the software was reset.  When I press the power button on the keyboard, the light turns green for around 3-4 seconds and then turns off.  It won't go into discoverable mode where the light starts flashing.  we have tried connecting it to my dad's MacBook, and it sometimes shows up while searching for a device, but any attempt to connect to it ends in a pairing unsuccessful message.  How can I get my keyboard to connect to my iPad?  The iPad is on iOS 7.1, and I know that none of my school's changes to the iPad should affect my keyboard, since they haven't changed from last year when they worked fine.
    Thanks,
      Nihar

  • Apple Bluetooth keyboard connection hangs

    Hopefully someone has an answer for this: just in the past few days the connection to my Apple Bluetooth keyboard has started to hang.
    These are the symptoms: I try to connect it through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant. I can get as far as inputing the pass key and hitting "return", then I get the "congratulations, your device is connected" message. Then immediately after that my connection is lost, and I can no longer input through the keyboard. It's still recognized through the Menu Bar and System Preferences, though.
    Battery life is not a problem; System Preferences shows 3 bars. Replacing w/ fresh batteries hasn't helped, either. I've tried both the "enter" and "return" keys after entering the pass key; no dice. I've also tried deleting the device out of System Preferences starting fresh -- again, no results.
    This keyboard has been fine all year; my wireless Mighty Mouse is working fine right now. Any ideas? -- Thanks in advance

  • I have an old Apple bluetooth keyboard I'm attempting to pair to my MacBookPro.  Computer finds the device but can't connect to it.  Tips?

    I have an old Apple bluetooth keyboard I'm trying to pair with my laptop.  The computer detects the keyboard but says it's unable to connect.  The keyboard is model no. A1016 and is 5+ years old, at least.  Can anyone advise on this? Is this keyboard obsolete? If so, do you have a favorite keyboard you'd like to recommend?

    The ATV only supports bluetooth for keyboards.

  • I'm can't connect my apple bluetooth keyboard to my pc laptop

    I'm trying to connect my apple bluetooth keyboard to my pc laptop, but it fails saying "unknown error ...error code 0x80070015". It the says to contact the device manufactorer for assistance... any ideas out there?

    No. It came with my iMac when I bought it 1.5 years ago, but I had also bought the regular wired keyboard for the number keys. I just bought a PC laptop and am trying to match the Apple wireless keyboard with it. (The small size is perfect for the space I have available.) I did change the batteries, but I did notice that the green light showing it is on only stays on for about 15 seconds. Another thing is that most of the time my PC doesn't see it. I have managed to sinc the laptop with the iMac, so at least it doesn't seem to be an anti-Apple issue.

  • I paired my apple Bluetooth keyboard with my iPad but when trying to connect back to iMac it shows paired but I cannot connect to it

    I paired my apple Bluetooth keyboard with my iPad.  Now I paired it with my iMac it shows paired but I cannot connect to it?

    Hello:
    Try this on your iPad:
    Unpairing a Bluetooth accessory
    If you've paired iPad with an accessory that you no longer wish to use, you can unpair the accessory.
    From the Home screen choose Settings > General > Bluetooth. If Bluetooth isn't on, turn it on.
    Choose the accessory and tap Unpair.

  • My apple bluetooth keyboard is paired with laptop but will not connect.  mouse is working fine.

    apple bluetooth keyboard is paired but not connecting to laptop.  mouse works fine.

    i am finding it depends greatly on the batteries you put in
    I work for a company that produces batteries...ours work, other brands sometimes do not. if they are manufactured just a hair out of spec, they wont connect consistently...
    they must wobble cuasing flucuations
    same with the mouse...if you use a bit of blue tack, it holds the batteries in, problems solved
    the keyboard is a little different and I cant figure out a macguiver fix

  • My Apple bluetooth keyboard will not connect to my Macbook (it was connected before)

    Hi
    My Bluetooth keyboard (model A1314) was connected to my Macbook.  I was away on a trip and now it will not connect.  A message comes up saying "error connecting to device".  I have tried everything that I can think of - replaced the batteries, removed the keyboard from the Bluetooth list.
    I would be grateful for some advice please!
    Thanks!

    Try resetting the SMC.
