Bluetooth Keyboard won't reconnect after reboot

I have a new Macbook Pro (early 2008 model) that keeps losing my bluetooth keyboard everytime I restart the Mac. I have to either Browse devices and turn the keyboard on and off (I put new batteries in the keyboard recently, so I don't think that is the problem) or else I have to set the keyboard up again from scratch as a new Bluetooth device. Once I get it working again it works fine until I restart.
This is getting tedious.
Anyone else having this problem?

Hiya I would advise to try and reset SMC on your MPB and see if it helps.

Apple Bluetooth keyboard won't pair with new iPad mini

Apple Bluetooth keyboard won't pair with new iPad mini

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!

Bluetooth keyboard has sticky keys after waking up from sleep!

Hey guys, I'm using the newest Apple bluetooth keyboard (A1314) with an iPad running 4.2.1. The keyboard works great if I'm using it constantly - I can sit for hours and type away with no problems. However, if the keyboard sits for a few moments and goes to sleep, then often when I wake it back up, the keys will "stick". Not physically - just in software. Any key on the keyboard will do it, so I know it's not a particular key causing the problem. If I power cycle the keyboard, it works fine after pairing back up. Batteries are fine.
Any ideas? Thanks!

I have been having problems with repeating keys on my iPad 2. I purchased a Zaggmate keyboard case which I love, but the last two weeks, it started repeating keys - not just one key - any key. The last letter I type before pausing gets repeated and will fill an entire page with that letter.
I tried hooking up my Apple Bluetooth keyboard and the same thing happened. This leads me to believe that the issue lies with the iPad and not the keyboards. I've rebooted my iPad and it seems to be accepting the Apple bluetooth keyboard now without repeating keys. In one second, I'm going to fire up the Zaggmate keyboard and see what happens - stay tuned....
Well, I've fired up the Zaggmate and it appears the reboot of the iPad has solved the issue.
Very strange and MORE THAN A LITTLE IRRITATING!

Bluetooth USB Dongle stops working after reboot of 10.5.3

Hi,
I have been using my Mac Pro 2.66 with a USB Bluetooth dongle "Sitecom CN-521" and Apple's wireless keyboard (white one) and Mighty Mouse wireless.
All worked very fine together.
Then suddenly after rebooting 10.5.3, bluetooth is not available.
I first thought that the dongle was dead.
To find out, I tried the dongle on a PowerMac G4 733: it worked perfectly.
Then I thought it might be a hardware problem with the Mac Pro. To be sure, I installed the Vista drivers of the USB dongle on my Mac Pro (through VMware Fusion). It was recognized by Vista. I could even use my wireless keyboard in Vista, thanks to the dongle. But on 10.5.3, bluetooth was still dead and I could not use the keyboard.
It was a strange feeling to use my wireless keyboard on my Mac Pro, only in Vista and not in Leopard!!!!
So it is not a hardware problem (either dongle or Mac Pro). It is a software problem with 10.5.3.
I tried to reboot while unplugging all usb devices and then replugging them after startup is over: no improvement.
So basically, I think of 2 options:
1. either it is a 10.5.3 software problem.
2. either a clean install on my HD could clear this problem.
Does anyone of you has the same problem?
Any solutions?
Thanks in advance.

I answered this question on my own. I was able to utilize Pacifist and reinstalling the video card drivers and display profiles. Now everything works as it should.

Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard no longer works after OSX update

After installing the latest OSX update yesterday (something about iChat encryption), Apple Bluetooth Keyboard no longer works with my iMac.
When I restarted the iMac after installation was completed, the iMac would no longer recognise my Bluetooth Apple wireless keyboard. I've tried with 2 other Apple wireless keyboards as well, but to no avail. None of them work with the iMac any longer. All 3 keyboards work with my PowerMac Quad G5 though.
The iMac "sees" the keyboards, but the pairing doesn't go through because the iMac doesn't seem to recognise the keystrokes when entering the pairing code.
I had to go out and buy myself a Microsoft wired keyboard to be able to restart the iMac (couldn't enter the login password without a keyboard).
My bluetooth mighty mouse works flawlessly though.
Very frustrating. Can anyone help?

And yes I checked the batteries.

Bluetooth keyboard lags 15 secs after application switching?

Doesn't matter what bluetooth keyboard I use. Doesn't matter if I switch between apps by keyboard or mouse. Keyboard seems to remember all keystrokes, and spits them all out after 15 secs or so, but remains frozen until then. Computer fine in every other respect. Totally responsive to USB mouse interface while keyboard is down. Disk Utility checks out okay. Multiple restarts attempted. Can't trace the problem to the activity of a single application. Only thing new that happened recently was installation of Maverick, but I'm not even sure that's the issue.
Help!!

Great to hear, thanks & good luck!
PS. I don't know how any 3rd parties can afford to keep up with Apple's changes my self.

Photoshop won't launch after reboot

Hi Adobians!
For some time I'm having an issue with PS CC: Every second time I reboot my system, PSCC does not open up, though the process is in the task manager. Everytime I try to relaunch PS, another process appears. Closing any number of then will not result in a successful launch. Funny thing is it works after reboot of the machine, but the next time I reboot, it won't work. So I basically started to reboot my machine twice... but there must be another solution.
My System is an ASUS ROG G750 Notebook with Win7 64bit installed.
I have not reinstalled Photoshop yet, since I would prefer to find a solution for this problem rather than find a way to work around it.
Regards,
Phil

Keyboard won't work after attempted 2.1 install

I have XPSP2 installed on its on HD. I used Boot Camp Beta. When I upgraded to Leopard I installed BC 2.0 and everything worked perfectly. When BC 2.1 was announced, I made sure all firmware and other upgrades were in order and then ran the upgrade as an exe from the desktop. I got error messages concerning the apple keyboard (standard Mac). Subsequent to installation the keyboard would not work at all and Device Manager stated the keyboard drivers were not installed. After several failed attempts, I uninstalled 2.1 and attempted to reinstall 2.0 from the Leopard disc. The keyboard still does not work and Device Manager shows drivers not installed. I tried installing 2.0 and 2.1 in Safe Mode and I can't. I tried to repair the existing XP using the the install disc and that causes an error message. I am at a loss as to what to do.
Help

I have a similar issue. I updated to 7.1.2 last night. Now my Bluetooth audio doesn't work.
The iPhone appears to be paired with my Bluetooth enabled car stereo, but will not play any music.
Initially the stereo said 'Bluetooth connection failed' but then I disconnected and re-paired; now both the stereo and iPhone say 'connected' but still no audio.
If I press play on the phone or stereo, there's no response.
I can confirm that my Bluetooth keyboard pairs fine and I can type, change the brightness and volume but I cannot pause or play music.
My guess is that there was a change to the iOS Bluetooth Audio functionality. One that's introduced an incompatibility with one or several of the Bluetooth audio profiles: iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles

Bluetooth mouse is not connected after reboot or bluez restart

I followed all possible guides to make my Apple MagicMouse. I saw on the forums that the key is to mark it as "trusted". I did it in bluetoothctl and put it to "trusts" file in /var/lib/bluetooth/xx:xx..../.
It works fine if I connect it manually but after restart I see only messages like this in bluetoothctl:
[NEW] Device 84:38:35:24:08:D9 MagicMouse
[CHG] Device 84:38:35:24:08:D9 Class: 0x002580

[ DEL] Device 84:38:35:24:08:D9 MagicMouse
Messages are printed when I click a mouse button. There is a small delay between "Connected: yes" and "Connected: no" and during this time I see a bluetooth sign in the notification area (I have Gnome).
Sometimes I see a paring request from the mouse. Sometimes authorisation request and if I go to the bluetooth settings it even propose to type a PIN code on the mouse )
Regardless my action after restart of bluez I am at the starting point.

I mentioned that, because this "solution" used to work for me on previous similar problems. After these steps the mouse used to autoconnect again after reboots and wakeups. Then after some weeks the problem appeared again.
Now this also doesnt work anymore. Now, everytime the mouse is disconnected, I have to push connect-button on the mouse and then manually initiate the connect process from the notebook (KDE: bluetooth applet -> Mouse -> Connect). It is not enough to just turn on the mouse.

EM Personal Edition Won't start After Reboot

...I installed Oracle 10g on a WinServer 2003 machine. EM worked fine after installation of Personal Edition; after reboot, EM service won't start. Everything else works; I can even query the HR tablespace from Access and SQL Server. I've set the correct user roles on the SYS, SYSMAN, SYSDBA, etc. accounts.
I also noticed that after the reboot, the folder that was previously called:
OC4J_DBConsole__ORABETA35
Is now called:
OC4J_DBConsole_192.168.2.18_ORABETA35
...but when I try to start the service from the services snapin it looks for the previous folder. So I copied the new folder into another folder and renamed that to the previous name to see if that would work; it didn't.
thanx,
John Bonifas

There's a systemd service so maybe try systemctl enable [email protected]
There's also a checkbox in the dropbox preferences for starting on system boot.

Bluetooth keyboard pairing repeated requests after mavericks update dec 20? ogitech MX5500 eventually connected but I keep getting repeated bluetooth pairing requests and it is driving me mad! Please Help! Anyone else suffering this?

This just started after Maverick update installed Dec 20.frustrated and annoyed that apple would release an update that makes apple users lifes such a misery . Anyone else suffering same problems. I can switch bluetooth off that makes using multiple screens difficult which is why I bought this $ 2800 top spec Mac retina 15 inch pro in the first place. I'm using Logitech MX5500 keyboard. Logitech MX1000 mouse works fine
Any suggestions or solutions much appreciated and hopefully apple gets their act together..

I am having this same issue - where I work, we use bluetooth trackpads. If my boss tries to connect his wireless bluetooth keyboard to his computer, I get the request on my machine every single time. The "Bluetooth Troubleshooting" article does not address any part of blocking requests, bluetooth security settings, or anything related to this issue at all, really. I do not believe there is currently any fix or setting that CAN resolve either of our problems, but I'm hoping that posting this at least puts the issue out there for hopefully somebody who can address this issue to see.

Keyboard shortcuts keep vanishing after reboot/restart

Hello,
In System Preferences -> Keyboard&Mouse, my keyboard shortcuts frequently vanish after a reboot/restart. This happens over 60 percent of the time and I have to enter them all over again. Very irritating.. Is this a known bug? And is there any way to really 'save' keyboard shortcuts?
Thanks,
kds-kds

I have the same problem but it only appears to be with one device (iPhone 5). My iPad and Mac seem to be fine. I even tried a hard reset of the iPhone but that did not help.

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*

Bluetooth keyboard won't allow iMac to sleep.

Since installing Leopard I have an annoying problem with my 24" aluminum iMac. I have an Apple bluetooth keyboard and mouse (the new slimline keyboard). When I put my iMac to sleep, it will sometimes spontaneously wake up some time later.
This can be between 2 minutes or 45 minutes later. When it wakes up, it displays the 'keyboard connection lost' graphic.
I believe that this is caused by the keyboard going into low-power mode, and it behaves the same as disconnecting a USB device, which would also wake the mac.
I have disconnected all other peripherals and only when I use a wired keyboard does the problem go away.
It sometimes behaves normally and won't wake until I press a key, at which point the keyboard is instantly responsive. On the occasions when it wakes itself, the keyboard takes a few key presses before it starts responding. Battery life is showing as 3 green bars.
Does anyone have any ideas? Its such a shame that a useful feature like sleep has now become unusable.
Andy.

Andy, I don't have any ideas to help but I wanted to let you know that my new wireless keyboard and iMac don't have the problem you're experiencing. I wonder if there's some kind of interference that causes the loss of bluetooth connectivity, but then again why just the keyboard and not the mouse? Could you possibly exchange the keyboard for a new one or try using a friend's wireless keyboard to see if there's something wrong with your keyboard?

My daughters bluetooth keyboard won't work with voiceover since upgrading to iOS 8.1 - how can i fix this?

My daughter has a Greatshield bluetooth keyboard which she has been using successfully in school with her iPad mini. she is blind and uses voiceover to navigate and to have what she has typed read back to her.
Since updating to iOS 8.1 the keyboard no longer works when voiceover is on but does when voiceover if off. My daughter is not able to use it without voiceover.
Any suggestions?

Was in the Apple Stor this morning in Indianapolis and picked up a Bluetooth keyboard to use with my iPad mini 2. Sadly neither I nor staff could get it to work with voiceover working. The staff, both sales and tech, appeared as shocked as I was. I was surprised that over 6 months Apple had not fixed this issue. Now I am wasting my time trying to back up reports of this problem on Apple's website. I know Apple over the last 10 years had given a lot of us so many advancements, but maybe that's changing? All I know is that as a busy professional, Apple has cost me about 4 hours of lost productivity today. I wish I could charge them for it!
