Apple wireless keyboard no longer working with boot camp Windows 7

Hi,
I've had Boot Camp installed for about half a year now with no problems.
Yesterday my wireless keyboard stopped working with it, it also appears that bluetooth isn't in the device manager or in the control panel, it could no linger detect either my magic mouse or keyboard despite having fresh new batteries. They do however still work with my Mac OSX partition. It also lets me hold down alt to choose which OS to boot into on startup however when it gets to the log in screen for windows the keyboard stopped working.
I've tried unpairing them in OSX then trying it in Windows but like I said bluethooth doesnt even appear to be there and it wont detect them. I've also tried reinstalling the apple drivers twice, still doesn't work.
If it helps I have a early 2011 iMac 21.5inch and it's Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
Thanks,
Dan

This may be just a Boot Camp issue, if no one here can help you may also want to post in the Boot Camp forum.

Using windows XP. After replacing a bad keyboard apple special keys no longer work with Boot Camp 3.2

My Original keyboard (MB110LL/A) was damaged. I recieved a new keyboard (MB110LL/B) from the Apple Store online. Now none of the special Apple keys, volume up, volume down, eject, etc. work anymore. I have Boot Camp 3.3 installed on Windows XP. Boot Camp 3.3 requires Windows 7. I cannot get a replacement (MB110LL/A) keyboard anywhere.

Adding to the above: I also tried plugging in an Microsoft USB keyboard at the point when Windows freezes at the Windows log-in screen. The keyboard is not recognized and the only way I can leave this screen is to power-off the computer.

Did you install the correct driver for your Windows version? Are you saying the mouse does not work in Windows after Windows is installed?

Will the new Apple wireless keyboard and mouse work with my Macbook Pro?

Looking at purchasing a wireless keyboard and mouse for my Macbook Pro. Figured the one made by apple will work, but not sure... Any suggestions on a good wireless keyboard and mouse, or knowledge on whether Apples will work or not?

magic mouse: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/MB829LLABB/
I just got them last week and the keyboard is new and the mouse is used but looks brand new. And you get a free pair of AA bateries with the mouse. And you can get 2AA batteries for the keyboard for an extra $1.29 I highly recommend going this route as I did very recently and am very pleased.

Magic Mouse Not Working with Boot Camp.

Hi All,
I have a wired issue here. I installed Windows XP on my iMac 27" using bootcamp and all worked fine till one day my Magic Mouse stopped working in Windows. Now the funny part is windows is able to detect my mouse and says that the device is working normally but the green light under my mouse is OFF. No matter what i try i cannot get it to come on. But the moment i boot to Mac OS X the mouse works perfectly fine. My Apple Wireless KB works just fine in Windows. A USB mouse also works fine. I have also installed Parallels on my Mac and when i boot into the Windows partition using Parallels the Magic Mouse works fine. Any idea as to whats going on here.?

I have a new (July 2009) iMac24 and neither the wireless mighty mouse nor keyboard work with Boot Camp XP Home Edition SP3. They install OK with the Bluetooth control panel, but then after five or ten seconds, drop out of the control panel and have to be discovered again. I spent two hours today with a Mac support expert, but no joy. We both gave up. It seems the wireless mouse/keyboard does not work with Boot Camp. If anyone hears of a solution, please let me know.

Mouse not working with Boot Camp after 10.5.7 update

I upgraded to 10.5.7 recently, and now my mouse doesn't work on Boot Camp. It doesn't seem to register, and I can't move the pointer. I tried this with two mice that worked just fine on the Mac OSX side. Any ideas? Has anybody else noticed this?

Apple Wireless Mouse - No Longer Pairs with Mac Mini?

Hi there,
I've had an Apple Wireless Keyboard and an Apple Wireless Mouse for several months. Unfortunately, the Apple Wireless Mouse no longer pairs with the Mac Mini (Core Duo, 1.66) -- it is getting very frustrating.
I've tried rebooting the machine, restarting the mouse, and nothing works. Sometimes I get the Bluetooth Setup Assistant which says that it found 1 Mouse, but it failed to pair.
I replaced the batteries, but nothing changes.
Help!

Normally that's caused by debris under the trackball preventing the rollers from moving. Turn the mouse upside down and rub the trackball Vigorously with a microfiber cloth.
The symptoms are usually that scroll will work one direction but not the other.

The volume keys on my Logitech K760 wireless keyboard do not work with my 2.3 GHz, Intel Core i5 Mac mini which runs Mac OS X 10.7.4. Anyone know how to correct this without having to re-code firmware?

My first post to the Apple Support Community so it looks like all I wanted to know is covered in the title. The research I have done led me to solutions that I am not comfortable trying for fear of irreparably damaging my keyboard and/or Mac mini. Does anyone have a simpler solution? Please? Hellooooo?
Just in case the title is too long to show, I have re-pasted here:

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to work the above applications. I thought that i had managed to assign the appropriate function keys in Spark to their volume counterparts, but it had no effect. Below is a screen shot. Do you see anything amiss?

The wireless keyboard is not working with my iPad2. I turned on Bluetooth and paired it. What else is there to do?

The wireless keyboard is not working with my iPad2. I turned on bluetooth and paired the device. What other hidden step is there to do?

Well, the tiny green light comes on and blinks. . . After a frustrating time, I turned everything off. Later, when I tried the keyboard again, it worked. I guess the bluetooth process takes longer than expected. So thank you for taking the time to help a technically impaired person!!

Wacom Tablet causes Apple wireless keyboard to stop working.

My Wacom tablet/pen causes my Apple wireless keyboard to stop working. While working on a photo in Photoshop using my Apple (usb) mouse to make selections the keyboard works fine. When I use the Wacom Pen to make selections, not immediately but anywhere from five to ten minutes into it, I hear what sounds like a chirp from my computer (Mac Pro) and my keyboard stops working. The command, option, control and direction keys still work but not the number and letter keys. I have to connect a spare Logitech keyboard via USB in order to continue and not loose my work. After awhile I will hear the chirp again and the Apple keyboard will start working. This will continue to occur at irregular intervals. Without the spare keyboard I've had to reboot my computer (loosing all the work on the photo) to get the keyboard working again, but only for it to reoccur. Any suggestions to fix this would be appreciated.

The Mac inherently keeps all input methods active, such that you could type alternate keys on alternate keyboards.
If you have third party add-ons that might change the way Bluetooth works, those would be the primary suspects.
Be sure all your Drivers are completely up-to-date, and batteries in battery-powered devices are still strong.
Bluetooth uses the same part of the frequency spectrum (but a different modulation technique) as cheap WiFi Routers, baby monitors, and microwave ovens. if you live in a busy apartment building, there may be very high levels of interference.

APPLE DOCKING STATION NO LONGER WORKS WITH TOUCH 3G and 4G after ios 4.2.1

APPLE DOCKING STATION NO LONGER WORKS WITH TOUCH 3G and 4G after ios 4.2.1 update.
I have both of these touches. I updated both 3g and 4g to ios 4.2.1 and poof...no docking station support other than charging, no audio and no remote function. My av/cable works with the tv, and the headphone jack still outputs audio, just no auido through the Apple dock and hte remote is dead. I purchased the dock from the apple store last year and it was working with both ipod 3g and 4g grrrrr...
Is Apple now in the bug trade business?, trade one for another....
Anyone else have this problem?

My iPod Touch 3G running 4.2.1 works fine with the Apple docking station.
Perhaps you have a loose cable somewhere and/or a dead battery in your controller?

My wireless keyboard no longer connects with my iMac since changing the batteries. It now shows as not connected, not paired and not configured. A friend recently connected his iPad to the iMac and since then the problem started. Any ideas to resolve this

The discs that come with your Mac are "machine specfic" and cannot be used on another Mac.

HT3917 My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed

My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed.

Do you get a steady green light to say there is a connection. If not, are the batteries the right way round. Do you have a monitor to tell the batteries strength. Is there a reading. Are the batteries good quality ones, Duracell, Energiser or Apple rechargeables.

Please kindly help! Thanks a lot.

this problem is fixed, but if anybody has an idea what happened, I would like to know.

Existing Apple ID is not longer working with Face Time and Message on the iPhone after iOS 6

After the IOS 6 update on my iPhone the Apple ID is not longer working with Face Time and Message. Each time I try to log in I receive the message that the password or the user is not right. But they are, because on all other devices and all other parts of the iPhone (iCloud, AppStore, iTunes) they are working. Other Apple IDs are working fine.
What's wrong? Any idea?
Thanks

It sounds like you restored from an old back-up. Did you back-up just before your software update? It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
Sorry for your losses.
Cheers
