Apple Wireless Key Board Will Not Connect (Pair)

Well, now I am having pair problems with Apple key board.
Have replaced the batteries and still had no effect.
Have done everything by the book but with no luck.
Had been working just fine until a few days ago.
Trying to pair it with a Macbook Pro 2.66. (late June 2009).
Trashed the com.apple.bluetooth.plist still will not pair.
Tried: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html
However this did not help.
The mighty mouse connects with no problem.
Now I must admit I have had nothing but on going problems since installing Snow Leopard.
Never had any issues until Snow Leopard. Go figure.

Just to follow up as of today the key board is now paired.
Go figure why one day it will not work then the next day it will.
After reading many of the comments here there must be some sort of software issue with Snow Leopard.

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard (2007) will not connect

    I just got an Apple Wireless Keyboard (2007 aluminum) and it will not connect to any computer that I have tried it on. This is at my work, so I have multiple machines to try it on. I tried it on a couple MacBook Pro's, and several different Mini's.
    When I start the Bluetooth Setup Assistant and select "Keyboard" and click continue, it does not find anything. ( http://screencast.com/t/Pev6sLaH )
    If I then turn the keyboard off and then back on it will find it. So I click continue so that it can pair with is and it fails, saying it was not discoverable. ( http://screencast.com/t/D0SNKMDR )
    If I turn if off and then back on while it is trying to pair, that does not help.
    Is the keyboard just DOA? Or am I missing something? I have read the users manual, searched the Apple support KB, and Googled for an answer but found nothing. I am thinking it might just be a bad keyboard but wanted to check here first.

  • I have an RK713A wireless keyboard which will not connect

    I have an RK713A wireless keyboard which will not connect. The mouse is working fine but the keyboard won't. I have tried pressing the blue connect button on the back of the keyboard.

    Hi,
    There are a couple of quick things to check-
    Make sure that the batteries are good (I'd suggest trying a fresh set) and make sure that they are inserted correctly.
    Has the keyboard ever worked?
    Thanks,

  • TS1559 Since upgrading my iPhone5 to the newest iOS (6.1.2) I can longer connect to WiFi. It sees the wireless network but will not connect.. Other devices in my home that weren't upgraded can connect just fine.

    Since upgrading my iPhone5 to the newest iOS (6.1.2) I can longer connect to WiFi. It sees the wireless network but will not connect.. Other devices in my home that weren't upgraded can connect just fine.

    I had the same problem.  I did the reset networks on my iPhone & it did not work.  My husband read somewhere that changing the channel on the router to manual & selecting the highest available channel number might help.  I did that & it solved the problem.  I have not had the problem since.

  • Apple TV (1st gen) will not connect to iTunes

    I am at wit's end. Until a couple of days ago, my 1st gen Apple TV connected fine to iTunes. Now, it will not connect no matter what. I have tried the following:
    1) restart both ATV and my machine (Win 7 running iTunes 10.7)
    2) restored ATV factory settings and reinstalled software
    3) hard-wire via ethernet to my computer (which some articles seemed to indicate should work - nothing happened)
    4) hard-wired both my cpu and ATV to a router - nothing shows up
    5) removed and reinstalled all Apple programs, including iTunes, QT and ancillary
    6) vaired between hard-wired internet connection and wireless for ATV
    7) did everything on this page, including open ports manually http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1453
    Most frustrating of all, my wife sees the device instantly in her iTunes. AGHH!

    Same thing happened to me, starting right after I  updated the Apple TV firmware. I restarted both devices to no avail. I can, however, play my itunes library content from the apple TV's "computer" app. So there must be some kind of connection. What I've lost is the ability to stream music from iTunes using AppleTV as an "airplay" device.

  • Key board will not lock the cap key

    Purchased my first IMAC and because I have Microsoft soft ware that Apple does not support I partioned the disc and was able to load Windows 7 (I know a nasty word for Mac users)  I cannot get my keyboard cap key to lock on to install my newwork key for a wireless network because it would appear that cap key is not working for caps even when I use the shift key as well.  It would appear that I key board is working only because I can type in the key of something when I chose the my network name.  Any suggestions

    Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine, and might be applicable to new machines..

  • I have an Apple wireless keyboard that will not turn on, even with new batteries.  The contacts seem fine.  What could be the problem?

    My wireless keyboard will not turn on despite new batteries.  It is about 8 years old. The contacts seem to be good.  What could be the problem?

    Hi elljohnson,
    It is important when replacing discharged batteries in the Apple Wireless Keyboard to make sure the new batteries are oriented correctly. See this article for directions -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Photosmart 5520 connect to wireless network but will not connect to internet

    My Photosmart 5520 printer connects to my network just fine and prints from all my computers just fine.  But when I attempt to print through ePrint or google print, nothing happens.  When I hit the eprint bottom on the front of the printer, it tells me the printer is not connected to the internet.

    Oh, you can check this thread about the same issue

  • HT3887 does a G4 Mac mini pair with an apple wireless key board and magc mouse?

    Does a mac mini G4 pair with a mac wireless keyboard and mouse through a generic bluetooth 'doggle' adaptor?

    Yes they should pair. I used on for my old G4 PowerMac. Just note that not all Majic mouse features are support by 10.4.
    System Requirements
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0* or Mac OS X v10.6.1 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0

  • Sierra Wireless USB card  will not connect

    I have purchased a Sierra Wireless USB card (AT&T USB Connect 881) to use with a iBook G4. The green power lites are solid green. However, I can not get a signal from AT&T. No one has been able to help solve this problem. I am ready to return it to AT&T for a refund.

    Thx for ur reply. I just checked the model of the USB adapter is Belkin Basic N150.
    The xp is able to see and identify the iphone wireless network and shows it in available networks with full signal strength. Once I click on connect then an alert message says that it is detecting network type pls wait. Then another message appears stating that "selected network may be no longer in range. Pls refresh the list and connect again"
    As suggested by you I will try it on windows 7.

  • My wireless key board does not work but wireless mouse does?

    I can not get my wireless keyboard to work again after i changed the batteries, It work sonewhat before I chaged the batteries but don't work at all now. I tried removing the thing pluged into the usb port and i pushed the connect button on the bittom of keyboard but nothing works. The wireless mouse works fine. What could be wrong?

    Not sure which KB you have, but I'd check a few things.
    1) You might have a dead battery or two - perhaps try batteries known to be working in another device, such as a TV remote control.
    2) The KB shouldn't need to be re-synced just via a battery change.   However, if you do resync - you might need to hold the sync button longer.   On my TouchSmart IQ804, I usually push mine about 10 seconds or so.   I can pull the USB tranceiver out of the back of the unit and put it in the side/front port, that way I can watch the LED that indicates sync/transfer better.
    I know that there are some good wireless KB troubleshooting documents on the HP website - here is a link to one of them.

  • HT1171 I have the apple wireless key board.  There is only one delete key and it deletes all data to the  left side of the cursor.  Where is the delete function for deleting letters that are on the RIGHT side of the cursor?

    I have a new wireless apple keyboard. I can only delete items that are to the left of the cursor using the delete key.  What key do I use to delete items that are to the right side of the cursor?  I have only one delete key.
    My old apple wired keyboard has 2 delete keys that enabled me to easly delete data on either side of the cursor.
    Thanks

  • Key board will not work?

    My keyboard on my I Pad is frozen and I cannot get my secure code to log on?
    . Iam using my Lap top to ask this question presently

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button.
