Bluetooth keyboard and magic pad doesn't work after sleep

This only recently developed, once my 2013 iMac goes into sleep mode, when I tap the keyboard to wake it up to put in my security password, the bluetooth keyboard doesn't work.  Also, the track pad shows no point, i.e. I have a sign in screen, but can't sign it.

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

  • Unable to connect Bluetooth Keyboard and magic mouse

    I am unable to connect to either my keyboard or mouse. I have a bluetooth keyboard and magic pad in my office that was paired to my Macbook pro but I am not bringing it anymore sense getting my iPad. The iPad seems to see the keyboard but not the pad. But neither will connect. I'm baffled.
    Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

    What do you mean the iPad sees the keyboard but will not connect? Have you un-paired it from the other computer? Should do that first, then do the pairing with the iPad...if it is a supported keyboard. Posters have noted they are unable to pair the old A1016 Bluetooth keyboard, ca 2005, with the iPad.

  • Do I have to power off a wireless keyboard and magic pad ?

    Hello,
    I am a new iMac user. I recently purchased it with a wireless keyboard and a magic pad. The question may be simple. When I shutdown the iMac, do I still have to power off the keyboard and magic pad ? Or do they power down as well ? From little research I made, it seems like they would power down themselves provided that there is no other Mac with Bluetooth enabled within range. Thoughts ?
    Thanks.

    The wireless mouse and keyboard that came with my Mid 2010 iMac are now paired with my MacBook Pro when it's on the desk, and the trackpad is on my wife's new iMac with 10.8. I don't turn them off unless I'm traveling with them. The trackpad and mouse can go over a year that way on a set of batteries.
    The keyboard on the other hand, behaves differently. Where the other two devices will show slow but consistent decay of battery power over time, the keyboard batteries will stay at 100% for quite a while, then drop suddently to 50%, stay there a while, then give up. I've learned to pack a few extra AA batteries in my travel kit as a result of the unpredicitable dropoff instead of short life.
    Still the battery life is pretty good for all three and I don't think it hurts anything to leave them on. I do, and the devices are quickly recognized when I open the computer.
    It's up to you and what makes you comfortable. Either way they work.

  • Mac Mini 2014 with Apple bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse

    Hi all,
    I'm currently in the process of moving from my old MacBook to a Mac Mini 2014 and I have a couple of questions regarding functionality of the Apple bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse with the Mac Mini.
    As these are the only keyboard and mouse I have available to me as I currently only have the one computer in the house, I'm wondering how I will pair them with my new Mac Mini (arriving next week for Christmas) without a wired user input device (keyboard or mouse). When I paired them with my MacBook, I of course had its trackpad and keyboard to navigate through the various steps, but as the Mac Mini does not have these, how does the pairing process work? Will I have to get my hands on a wired mouse/keyboard? I'm asking in advance because I need to get my new system up and running to start work on 27th December and so I need to know if I should pick up a cheap wired mouse/keyboard in advance.
    My second question relates to the Mac Mini, Apple bluetooth keyboard and Boot Camp. Usually, when I want to boot into Windows on my MacBook, I hold down the Option/Alt key on my MacBook's built-in keyboard to be given the choice of operating systems. Sometimes when I do this using the bluetooth keyboard, it hasn't paired in time and it boots straight into OS X, so I have to wait until that has booted, shut down and then try again. Clearly, this might be a problem on a Mac Mini if I have urgent work I need to complete in Windows, so rebooting over and over until my keyboard finally pairs in time isn't desirable. Any tips here would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    If you unpair your BT KB and mouse from the old computer they should pair during the initial setup of the Mini. However, sometimes they donot a wired KB and mouse is required. You can use any USB PC KB and mouse.
    Once you get the BT KB to work you can use the Option key on the BT KB while booting to get your choice of OS to boot into.

    Besweet, I'm having the very same problem with 60GB colour which was bought new and worked for 6 months before suddenly just not being recognised by PC. I hadn't changed anything at all.
    I've followed all troubleshooting advice and reinstalled and updated iTunes and iPod updater software but all troubleshooting routes seem to hit the dead end of either the need to access the iPod via the PC (which isn't possible as it's not showing up at all) or the iPod in disc mode stuck at "ok to disconnect".
    It's still under 1yr warranty so will have to take to a dealer.
    I'm sorry that's not much help for you but at least you know it's not a unique problem.

  • HT1338 bluetooth keyboard and track pad keep dropping out

    For the last couple of weeks my bluetooth keyboard and track pad keep dropping out on a new mini mac, I have tried reinstalling both with no luckthis combined with the new ipad 3g problems is making me think twice about apple. RIP Steve.

    Make sure there is nothing that could cause interference between your computer and the bluetooth devices. This could include cordless phones, extra antennaes, satellite receivers etc.
    I would also go with Barry's advice as well.

  • Keyboard and Mouse pad don't work.

    Can anyone help me? I figured I should come here before bringing it to a shop.
    I have upgarded my ram from 2gigs to 4gigs with Crucial ram.
    Though regardless if I have the new ram or old ram in, my keyboard and mouse pad don't work. There were occasions before when the keyboard would lock up for a short while, but I have no idea what's causing this.
    My only thought would be that sometimes my computer would get unusually hot, but i just turn it off when that happens.
    Everything else works fine, the USB ports work with keyboards and mouse's, the power chord works fine, there seems nothing wrong with the battery or display.
    Thanks you for any help.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Has your keyboard and mouse quit working altogether or just when the computer is hot? And do I understand that an external keyboard and mouse will work with no problems?
    And I am wondering about your computer running unusually hot. Are your fans operating properly? You might want to run the extended version of the Apple Hardware test to be sure that the fans and thermal sensors are working properly. If they are not, you will get one or more error codes.
    Another thing to do to check when your Mac is unusually hot is the Activity Monitor. Select "All Processes" at the top right and check for any process running that should not be which is using lots of CPU.
    I don't know if the keyboard problem is related to the heat problem or not, but I would want to know what is causing the heat problem too. Over time, excessive heat can cause damage to the logic board. It could also conceivably damage the ribbon cable which connects the keyboard and I would guess that the trackpad could also be affected. So it is important to see what is going on here. If you have been experiencing excessive heat on a regular basis, this might be the underlying cause of your keyboard and trackpad problems. If so, the heat problem will have to be fixed or the other problem will recur over time.
    Try the AHT and post back with any results. Also, use iStatPro to check on your fans and make sure both are running at roughly equal speeds and that they run faster when the computer gets hot.
    Good luck!

  • My Hp Pavllion dv7 keyboard and touch pad will not work

    Hi. My Hp Pavllion dv7 keyboard and touch pad will not work. Been going on for a few months now. Read in the support forum that replacing the battery might help however it hasnt. Ran updates for Windows Vista and Microsoft Security Ess. Boots up just fine however unable to place in my password to get to my user profile and always have to work from guest......unless I have a USB keyboard handly at the time. I use a USB wireless mouse as well.
    Please help and thank you

    The keyboard and mouse (touchpad) are separate devices which could go bad at the same time but that would be a huge coincidence. I would try reseating the ribbon cables to the motherboard for both. Here is the Service Manual:

  • Apple bluetooth keyboard and Magic Trackpad are sluggish and constantly disconnecting - I'm in pain

    Dear Apple,
    Bluetooth issues are damaging my job as I rely on external display and periphery.
    The connection is not interrupted too often like it was before 10.10.3,
    but it still does, and when it doesn’t - the performance is very sluggish.
    If you can’t make bluetooth work, could you please give us wired options for smaller keyboard and magic trackpad?
    Thanks.

    Please open the Network preference pane and delete any Bluetooth items from the service list. Apply the changes and see whether there's an improvement.

  • Brand new iMac cannot pair bluetooth keyboard and magic mouse

    Hi there!
    Just received brand new iMac 21" yesterday. Unboxed it, turned it on and none of both bluetooth devices (keyboard and magic mouse) managed to get paired.
    I was able to connect a USB mouse to log into the Mac. Did all turn off/on Bluetooth, turn off/on iMac several times with no luck. Weird thing is that when I lift keyboard on a 30 degree angle above my desk it seems to actually pair with the iMac but then when back to original position it disconnects.
    I've tried the magic mouse with my 2008 Macbook and works flawlessly. After several attempts never managed to pair magic mouse with iMac and as said earlier keyboard is not working on a standard position on my desk. It is frustrating to have paid close to 2,000$ for something that does not even work out of the box... Any ideas or suggestions?
    I'm planning to take it today to nearest Apple Stores but have a bad feeling about "genius" folks being able to help me out. Would be worth changing iMac for new one?
    Thanks a lot in advanced!

    Thanks Barry! If SCM reset means the following:
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    I've done that several times yesterday with no success. "SMC Reset" sounds quite fancy but then you google it and find that is a "simple" shut down and restart protocol... I tried "shutting down" by both selecting option via OS and also physically on the button behind screen.
    I appreciate the help but unless I've done that "simple" protocol wrong it is not working.
    Sorry for the frustration from my side. It just seems too much of a vague story when you hear Apple friends talking things about "the best OS", "best desktop",...and then you pay about $2,000 and find this yourself.
    If anyone else interested I commit to keep this up to date with the feedback I'll get from "genius" folks today. Hopefully they'll prove themselves to live up to their position naming.

  • Keyboard and mouse pad do not work; authorised service?

    the keyboard and mouse pad on my new macbook (3 weeks old)have stopped responding. I have tried everything to restore it except reinstalling the operating system. The disk utility and hardware test do not show any problems, and when I attach an external mouse and keyboard the computer works just fine. Can this problem be anything other than a faulty connection or lose wire?
    I live in Venezuela and will have major problems getting the mac back to the US (where it was purchased) for service. Apparently there are "authorised service providers" here in caracas; does that mean they can work on my mac without me losing the warranty?
    thanks for any help..

    Huh...I've never managed to do what you have, so I'm a bit out of ideas...
    That being said, if a customer brought me a machine in that condition, I'd boot from a "live" Linux CD, save all important data on an external drive, wipe the HD clean and install a fresh OS.
    Good luck.
