Apple bluetooth keyboard won't type shift-i

Hi,
So i just received my new wireless keyboard, opened it, synced it to my macbook pro and started working. Now, for some reason, everything works but typing shift-i. This should produce a capital i, but instead it just doesn't do anything.
If i type the shift-i in my macbook pro, it produces the capital i (see the beginning of the sentence??). if i type caps lock and then i, the capital i comes back and as you can see from this text, the i key works as well as all the other shif+letter. Weird... though shift-i could be mapped to a function in some apps, but it's not the case, since the macbook's own keyboard does not have this issue.
if i change the layout to som other countries, the issue persists.
That's really annoying and my keyboard is only two hours old!
Could someone please help?
Best regards,

I have same results. I have an ipad mini and it will not pair with my apple keyboard. I bought a mini keyboard with bluetooth 3.0 and it will not pair either. Is my ipad defective? Or do i need a keyboard with bluetooth 4.0? Also - the mini keypad will pair with my ipad2 and my iphone 4. Only difference I can find is the ipad mini has bluetooth 4.0. Seems it should be downward compatible but maybe not.. I am not a blutooth expert!

Apple Bluetooth Keyboard Won't Power On

I bought the new fancy small Bluetooth Keyboard and it worked great for a few months. The batteries dies, and now it wont turn on (with new batteries). I have reseated the batteried, used new ones, etc. (I am a former tech support guy, so i am relatively good with this stuff still). Still won't turn on.
I tried to call support, but I am a military member in Italy and all of Apples 800 numbers wont work for me. Any suggestions on a non-800 number? I tried to use the form to request support for my SN/: 3374MGZ1001WA and it just doesnt work in the form. It says invalid. This is the number right under the battery cylinder.
I need to get this replaced, and actually have to use my warranty for a change... but I can't seem to get to support. Any ideas?

here ya go: Italy (39) 199 120 800*

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?

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

TS1569 My Apple Bluetooth Keyboard (2003, White) won't pair with my MacBook Pro

My Apple Bluetooth Keyboard (2003, White) won't pair with my MacBook Pro anymore. It seems just randomly became unresponsive. I took them both to the genius bar and everything worked fine. When I got home, NOTHING worked! Any Ideas??
The batteries are fine, and it will not pair with my wife's MacBook either.

iPhones and Macbooks cannot pair to each other except for internet sharing.
Most Bluetooth operations between them (like Airdrop) do not require they be paired.
What exactly are you attempting to do by pairing them?

Apple Bluetooth keyboard force shifts

Basically every so often lately my apple bluetooth keyboard thinks its shift key is on.
I get all caps. And symbols instead of numbers. Anyone have any ideas other then getting a new one..
Batteries are new
It just happened while I was typing this. So I had to swift to the macbooks kb.

Did that line with one finger

Hello silver:
You can try a couple of things before getting a new one (although if it in warranty, I would opt for a new device):
Trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restart.
Reset PRAM:

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.

My Apple wireless keyboard won't connect to my Mac mini any more.

My Apple wireless keyboard won't connect to my Mac mini any more. Going through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant doesn't help - the computer finds the keyboard, but when I type in the pass code it fails to pair with it. The green LED on the bottom of the keyboard flashes twice at roughly two-second intervals. I've tried replacing the batteries and this has had no effect. I have all the latest software updates installed.

Welcome Cheirhandrea!
There are easily hundreds of variants of the iMac dating back to 1998. Many of the pre-2006 iMacs this forum covers cannot support an Apple wireles keyboard. Because this model has been in production for so long, it is important for you to let us know as much about your computer as possible so someone won't give you information that may not be appropriate to your iMac variant.
So we need to know:
1) Your processor type and Mac OSX version, both available by doing "About this Mac" from your Apple menu at the left end of the menu bar:
2) The make and model of the keyboard.
I asked for your Mac OS version because "iOS" as currently shown in your equipment profile cannot run on any Mac computer, only Apple's mobile devices. Once you get the OS version from "About this Mac," please change your profile to avoid further confusion and get help faster without the delay of someone having to ask for clarification before they can start helping.

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

Change the battery in the keyboard.

Try this - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Apple Bluetooth Keyboard (no fsck?)

I just bought an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and find that I can no longer run /sbin/fsck -y when rebooting to repair the boot disk.
Apparently the system doesn't load Bluetooth earlier enough in the boot process to use the keyboard for simple commands. (So I imagine I can't do a PRAM/NVRAM reset either.)
Also holding down the C key to run DiskWarrior no longer works (i.e. it won't boot from the DiskWarrior disk).
There must be a way to run these without having to reboot twice if the system freezes (which on rare occasion it does). (i.e. First hard restart to access Disk Utility to choose the DiskWarrior startup disk and the second reboot to actually run DW.) Rebooting with the option key down has never worked for me to choose startup disks. (10.3.9 on an upgraded G3 B/W)
And the only way (at present) for me to run Disk Utility on my main drive is to boot from another drive. So again it takes two reboots.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Ron,
Apple released a Bluetooth firmware update that resolved these issues. Run 'Software Update' located in 'System Preferences' and install all of the latest updates and firmware. This should resolve the problem that you're having.
Also is your computer using a D-Link bluetooth dongle or inbuilt Bluetooth?
Hope this helps,
Stu

All of a sudden my keyboard won't type.

All of a sudden my keyboard won't type. This happened before and it was just something that I hit accidentally that turned off the keyboard. Can't remember how to fix it. It was very simple, like pressing a couple keys and it worked.

As I suspected, the keys aren't registering to allow you to boot from a CD or switch the startup disk. I am going to assume that you wont be able to reset the pram or do an SMC reset either. You can try anyway...
PRAM reset
hold Option + Command + P + R and press the power button. Hold those keys until you hear the startup chime at least 2 times.
SMC Reset
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Safe boot
Hold the shift key whilst rebooting.
You can try these three things, but I'm leaning towards a hardware failure on this as it seems the KB is not functioning even prior to the OS loading.

If you are sure that the battery isn't empty, then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
