Make sure your keyboard is in range of this computer,turned on “discoverable”. When ready. click Continue to try again” I do it but it will not set up,
    the keyboard is right next to the computer,and is switch on and it has new battery's,and it is discoverable.
    but it dose not want to work, the green light on the back of keyboard comes on,
    but the light on the cap lock on the keyboard will not come on, when I press it .

  • My Apple blue tooth keyboard will not pair with my mac mini

    My Apple wireless keyboard was paired with my Mac Mini. It is no longer paired. I have put in new Batteries. I have pressed the button on the top right hand section of the keyboard, the green led lights up briefly. The Blue Tooth set up assistant appears on screen and searches for the keyboard. I has brifly seen it but does not make a connection. The Magic moose is doing the same thing.

    Hi Darrell,
    If your Apple Bluetooth and keyboard are not paring to your Mac Mini, then take a look at the article below to walk you through some general troubleshooting to get it to pair and start working again. If you have not done so already, try looking form anything could be causing interference like cordless phones as well and thing metal between the keyboard and the Mac Mini.

  • My zagg keyboard will not connect to iPad Air even though it has been working fine

    My Zagg keyboard will not connect with my iPad Air even though it has been working fine for weeks.  Bluetooth and keyboard are on and keyboard is connected to iPad.

    Hey Leelll,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you are having trouble using a bluetooth keyboard with your iPad. If it is paired to a second iPad that may be an issue.

  • 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.

  • Wi fii and blue tooth  turn will not turn on I phone 4s

    I can get the wi fii to turn on and the blue tooth either? the sklide bar will not work

    Hello gadavisllc1,
    It sounds like you are unable to turn on either Wi-Fi or bluetooth on the device because the slider is grayed out. I recommend the troubleshooting from the following article named:
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
    Restart your iOS device.
    Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
    If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, see how to resolve those Wi-Fi issues.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • IPhone 4s Will Charge Sometimes, Will not Connect to Macs or PC's.

    I have a year old iPhone 4s, Otterboxed from the beginning. Recently the battery has begun to lose the ability to hold a charge for more than 6 hours or so. Around the same time, I noticed that it was not charging on all of my, or my coworkers chargers. After metering the voltage on the chargers that work, I discovered that it was only charging on chargers that ran slightly higher voltage than normal USB spec. However this problem has proved to be intermittent, and it will occasionally charge on a computer or normal Apple wall charger.
    Now to the most alarming consequense. Since my phone started acting up, I have been unable to connect it to any computer. It will not show up as an active device even on a system level. I work for a design and production company where I have many combinations of computers available, so I scooped up 5 known good 30 pin to USB and tried them each on the following systems:
    AMD Socket AM2 Windows 8 Desktop
    Core 2 Duo Early Unibody MacBook Pro, 10.8.3 and Windows 7
    Mac Pro Quad Xeon 10.7
    Core 2 Duo Non Unibody MacBook Pro 10.6
    AMD Samsung Laptop Windows 7
    i7 Retina MacBook Pro, 10.8.3
    It was not recognized by the USB controller at any time with any cable. I did a reeboot between every cable and computer swap on both the phone and machine. Needless to say this was very time consuming. I am assuming the hardware in the iPhone is just knackered, I just wanted to be sure. Now before anyone suggests dumping and reloading the OS from the phone itself, the only reason I need to connect at this point is because I have run out of iCloud storage and need to get photos off the phone. I understand I can upload them to Google Drive, but it compresses them in the iPhone app and i would prefer that not to happen.
    Any advise would be helpful.
    Needless to say I ran these tests with the most current version of software for every device involved.

  • TeamViewer will not connect to Mac

    I am going on a vacation soon and need to access my iMac for I have files stored on it. But here's where my problem starts. My Mac will have no problem connecting to my Windows laptop. It's only when the laptop tries to connect to the iMac it has a problem. I have been able to connect to the iMac only a twice: once from the laptop and once from my iPod; and then it refused all incoming connections. I don't know if this is a firewall issue or what. I doubt it is, though, because my firewall is off. Both the iMac and the laptop say 'awaiting authentication' but never gets past it. All help is appreciated.
    P.S. I just posted it here because to me it seems like a hardware problem.

    TeamViewer will not work on my computer; so I switched it over to LogMeIn.

  • I cannot get my bluetooth to turn on. My keyboard will not connect

    I cannot get my bluetooth to come on. I use my wireless Apple Keyboard at school and then brought it home from school. It would not connect so I thought I could turn my bluetooth off and then turn it back on and re-connect it. But, it would not turn on at all. Any help would be appreciated!!
    How can I turn the bluetooth on and re-connect my keyboard?

    Ok so here is the update.......... Swapped out the iPad for a new one, via AppleCare warranty. Downloaded my backup, upgraded to current iso, problem solved. Although at first glance this seemed to be a software problem, it appears based on the outcome that it was a hardware malfunction. Thanks for everyone's input. Hope this helps someone with similar problem.
