Can't pair PB Mini bluetook keyboard with 32 gig PB running OS 2.1.0.840

I would not have normally installed a OS beta however I purchased a new 32 gig PB to replace my 16 gig unit and I could not move my apps and data to the new PB because the 16 gig PB is running an OS version that RIM pulled and that OS is newer than the OS I was able to install on the new PB.
All is running well on my new PB however I have not been able to pair my bluetooth PB mini keyboard. The pairing process identifies the peripheral / mini keyboard but the PB is not receiving the number code that must be entered. The number code is 2 sets of 3 digits with a space in between. Do you enter that space or just the total string of digits? I have tried both combinations without success.
I had no problem pairing the keyboard with my older 16 gig PB.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

After dozen of tries I got it paired and discovered the PB is not for dummies, like me. The pairing instructions say to enter the series of numbers but does not tell you to press enter. I borrowed an Android tab to check out the keyboard and found the Android pairing instructions were far clearer.

  • Can't pair my bluetooth Apple keyboard with AppleTV 3

    I just updated my AppleTV 3 to 5.2 and tried to pair my bluetooth Apple keyboard, but nothing is happening.  I've tried restarting the AppleTV, making sure all of my keyboard setting are set correctly (including being discoverable), and restarting the actual keyboard.  The closest I've gotten to success is if I turn off my keyboard, and then turn it back on while holding the "On" button for a few seconds longer--then the keyboard pops up under Devices and gives me the option to Pair.  When I select that option--I get the little daisy wheel for awhile, and then the keyboard listed under Devices disappears again.  A quick check to see if the keyboard is working proves that no long term connection has be made.  (Oh, and just in case--yes the batteries are fully charged).  What I'm curious about, is there a step by step procedure that I'm supposed to be doing to make this work?  It seems like it shouldn't be this hard.

  • Can't pair Auvio 1500465 Bluetooth MusicTransmitter with Apple TV

    Hi. I can't pair the Auvio Music Transmitter with Apple TV. I've gone to settings, Bluetooth on Apple TV, placed the Auvio in close proximity, but the AppleTV keeps searching without success. The Auvio pairs easily with my iPhone and iPad, and I've turned those connections off while trying to pair it with the TV.Any suggestions?

    I wanted to use an older, unused Apple Bluetooth Extended keyboard (this one originally came with an iMac G5, white keys, clear casing) but it refused to pair. Several times, the Apple TV said "pairing" and spun the gear wheel for several seconds and then the keyboard just dropped out of the list on the TV screen. No pairing code was ever given. I then tried it with a newer aluminum short keyboard and it immediately game me a 4-digit pairing code and completed the pairing.
    As a test, I successfully paired and un-paired the older keyboard with my Mac Mini. No problems, seemed to work fine. Then tried it again with the Apple TV. No joy.

  • I paired my apple Bluetooth keyboard with my iPad but when trying to connect back to iMac it shows paired but I cannot connect to it

    I paired my apple Bluetooth keyboard with my iPad.  Now I paired it with my iMac it shows paired but I cannot connect to it?

    Hello:
    Try this on your iPad:
    Unpairing a Bluetooth accessory
    If you've paired iPad with an accessory that you no longer wish to use, you can unpair the accessory.
    From the Home screen choose Settings > General > Bluetooth. If Bluetooth isn't on, turn it on.
    Choose the accessory and tap Unpair.

    can i use a non-apple keyboard with my imac?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can use the keyboard you want with your iMac. However, note that some keys, as the Command key, aren't present in non-Apple keyboards. For example, in a non-Apple keyboard, you have to press the Windows key because that's the replacement of the Command key of an Apple keyboard

    People report it is still possible to use a wired USB keyboard with the CCK, if you use a powered USB hub to get around the "not enough power" error message.  (I have done this with an older Apple USB keyboard my non-jailbroken iPad1 on iOS 4.3.3.)  Normally, powered USB hubs have a AC power adapter so you lose portability unless you can find a battery powered USB hub.  At this point, the (in)convinience of the USB hub becomes an issue, depending on what you get.
    And wired USB keyboard were never supported for the iPad.  So there's no guarantee that it will continue to work with future iPad updates from Apple.  So best to go with a Bluetooth keyboard unless you have a specific USB keyboard that you "must" use.  If you have all the equipment already, I say give it a try.  But I would not recommend trying a USB keyboard if you have to purchase anything.

  • How can I get max, min & average (hours with minutes) of fast 30 days data

    Table name:
    run_log
    TYPE VARCHAR2(10),
    SUBTYPE VARCHAR2(10),
    PROGRAM VARCHAR2(100),

    How can I get max, min & average (hours with minutes) of fast 30 days data ?

    Hi,
    you have to use analytical functions:
    SELECT start_day,
           round(AVG(daily_avg)
                 over(ORDER BY start_day ASC RANGE BETWEEN INTERVAL '30' DAY preceding AND INTERVAL '0' DAY following)) AS moving_avg,
           round(MAX(daily_max)
                 over(ORDER BY start_day ASC RANGE BETWEEN INTERVAL '30' DAY preceding AND INTERVAL '0' DAY following)) AS moving_max,
           round(MIN(daily_min)
                 over(ORDER BY start_day ASC RANGE BETWEEN INTERVAL '30' DAY preceding AND INTERVAL '0' DAY following)) AS moving_min
      FROM (SELECT trunc(t.start_time) start_day,
                   AVG((t.end_time - t.start_time) * 24 * 60 * 60) AS daily_avg,
                   MAX((t.end_time - t.start_time) * 24 * 60 * 60) AS daily_max,
                   MIN((t.end_time - t.start_time) * 24 * 60 * 60) AS daily_min
              FROM run_log
             GROUP BY trunc(t.start_time)) t
    ORDER BY 1 DESCAnalytical functions are described in the Oracle doc "Data Warehousing Guide".

  • Can i use my mini Mbox 2 with logic pro 9 on iMac os x lion?

    Can i use my mini Mbox 2 with logic pro 9 on iMac os x lion?

    Hi there,
    Did you find out anything more in regard to this?
    I have been using Pro Tools 8 with the MBox 2 connected to my iMac operating Leopard. It worked a treat for nearly four years.
    However the hardrive has just been replaced on the iMac which now has Snowleopard.  I don't want to have to update to Lion and then fork out £500 for Pro Tools 10. 
    I would be content to get Logic Pro 9 if I can attach the MBox 2 to it.
    Your advice would be appreciated

  • How can I pair iPhone 6  / 8.1 with Audi and Mercedes until 8.1 is fixed?

    How can I pair iPhone 6/8.1 with Audi and Mercedes

    Generally your put the vehicle into discovery mode, turn Bluetooth on for the phone and the two should discover each other. I don't know what you mean about getting 8.1 fixed, as it is working just fine for me in my vehicle. Try going into the phone and removing the car(s) from the phone list. Turn off Bluetooth. Go into Settings>General>Reset Network Settings. Do a reset on the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple Logo and release. The phone will reboot. Go into the vehicle(s) and remove all reference to the phone from the vehicle list. Turn the car off, then back on. Put the vehicle's system into discovery/pairing mode. Turn Bluetooth on for the iPhone. The two should pair after following any additional instructions from the vehicle's user guide, such as entering a PIN code.
