Cant get bluetooth wireless apple keyboard to work win XP - bootcamp

Well just as posted... i can link it, sometimes it says your hardware has encountered a problem and might not function properly, and sometimes it links fine, but no letters come out. unlinks soon after... Ive read many posts, so lets only post answers, not alike symptoms.... many people have this problem... I wrote the headlines to locate this problem easily...please help

Try pressing the "clear" button (where the Num Lock key would be on a Windows keyboard). I don't think Windows enables this on bootup (as there is no BIOS to do it). I know this happens when I run XP in Parallels...

  • Bluetooth Wireless Apple Keyboard comes with Energizer batteries? Can't seem to register my new keyboard too.

    Bluetooth Wireless Apple Keyboard comes with Energizer batteries? Can't seem to register my new keyboard too.
    I bought this new keyboard from the Ala Moana Store and was surprised to open the sealed box with two Energizer AA batteries inside. I didn't know batteries were supplied. The road clear plastic seal over the battery door was also missing. I am a little suspicious that this was a resealed return item.
    The next thing I am trying to do is get it registered (like all my other apple items) just in case this turns out to be a lemon, but I can't seem to find a way to add it to my other items. There's no category 'Bluetooth' or 'Keyboard' in the equipment selection list.
    So here's my question, did I get a used item that was resealed and put on the shop shelf? Someone else paid for this so it isn't showing up on my list of items. I would like to add it.
    Thanks.
    Mike

    Hello Mik:
    You cannot register a KB.  Apple does not keep a database of peripheral devices.
    I would question the store about the unwrapped batteries....  I would suspect that the device was returned by someone else.

    Hi bighead2192,
    Call your Router's Manufacturer's Phone Support and have them walk you through setting up your Router.
    However, you should have the Router's Manual in PDF format or Paper that you can read and find out how to do it.
    I have a D-Link Router, not a Linksys Router.

  • Wireless Apple Keyboard connection lost message

    I couldn't find a better place to post this so I am just posting here. On my Mac Mini connected to my TV I have a bluetooth wireless apple keyboard. Works great except when watching a movie and the keyboard goes to sleep. I get this connection lost message on the screen that keeps coming up at various times. Is there a way to disable that message so the movie isn't interrupted with that message flashing up on the screen?

    Interesting, mine were at 68% so I've just changed them, will report back here if that's helped.
    But it's worrying if it is the answer since this update is supposed to help save battery power!
    I don't really want to keep on changing my batteries when they are still well over half full. I'm keen to know if you still get the problem in the next few days.
    One interesting point, I allow my keyboard to wake my mac from sleep. I find that if I sleep my mac, within a minute or so it wakes again and immediately shows the keyboard disconnect pop-up. So what I think is happening is the bluetooth control inside the keyboard is turning off transmit and back on again.
    I'm going to ask Apple how to roll-back the update.
    Let me know if you start to get disconnected again, I'll do likewise.

  • Help with very slow connection if apple tv linked to wireless apple keyboard

    My husband and I trying to connect the wireless Apple keyboard to our Apple tv so we can get rid of the pesky and cumbersome Apple tv clicker. However, when we do so, our connection slows to a crawl and we cannot access sites like Netflix et al. We disconnected Bluetooth from our Mac Book Pro as we noticed that the keyboard serves only one master. This did not fix the problem. We are at our wits' end. Your help would be immensely appreciated.
    Oh, and also, I had been thinking of installing AirPort Utilty. Is this a good idea and why do I not see it in the AppStore, only on websites of dubious provenance?
    Thousand thanks,
    J and F
    Er, and while we're at it, why do we need to choose between my apple address and my husband's when we set up homesharing? This is another clunky thing that simply is opaque.

    However, when we do so, our connection slows to a crawl and we cannot access sites like Netflix et al.
    Not caused by the keyboard.  It connects via BluTooth, the video services over eithernet.  They have nothing to do with one another.  There is something else going on.  Have you tried connecting ATV via a wired connection instead of WiFi.
    why do we need to choose between my apple address and my husband's when we set up homesharing?
    Because you can only use one AppleId.  It would be a huge leagal mess if it displayed content from multiple accounts at the same time.  The copyright holders would never allow it.

  • I have a macmini on order, I wonder if I can pair the wireless apple keyboard and magic touchpad without using any other input devices, especially, since everything is brand new and not yet paired.

    I have a macmini on order, I wonder if I can pair the wireless apple keyboard and magic touchpad without using any other input devices, especially, since everything is brand new and not yet paired.

    You may just want to save yourself any possible issues
    by just hooking up a wired keyboard and mouse on first
    start up.  Any USB keyboard and mouse should work.
    There have been many that have had problems on first boot
    using the Bluetooth devices. 

  • How to fix wireless apple keyboard that ceased pairing with imac at the same time the keyboard on my ipad2 disappeared right after I updated osx vs. 10.8.5 sent out by Apple

    I updated to OSX vs. 10.8.5 sent out by Apple on Oct 4,2013. My wireless
    Apple keyboard is no longer paired to my imac and at the same time I noted that the keyboard on my ipad2 no longer exists. At first I thought it was an icloud issue but am wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem.

    I downloaded 10.8.5 Supplementary and this time there was a picture of my keyboard with the suggestion that I power it on, which I did many times. Finally re-booted my imac and shut down BlueTooth on my ipad. I now have a keyboard back on the ipad and my wireless keyboard on the imac is working.

  • 2 batteries stuck in my wireless apple keyboard...any ideas?

    2 batteries stuck in my wireless apple keyboard....any ideas?

    One of them must have leaked and/or swollen in there — not a good situation. I'm afraid there is no way of getting them out that you haven't probably thought of already, and if there has been any leakage, there won't be any good way to clean it up even if you get the batteries out.
    I would try to jolt them loose my tapping the end of the keyboard with the end of the battery compartment open on a firm surface that is softer than the aluminum shell and won't mar it, e.g. a block of 2x4 lumber, and hope for the best.
    What type of batteries are they: alkaline (best for this use), lithium, or NiMH?

  • I cant get my New SoundFont Studio to work at all

    I cant get my New SoundFont Studio to work at allrI have recently downloaded and installed Vienna SounfFont Studio 2.40.60 on my desktop computer with Windows XP. My card is an X-Fi Fatality.
    According to The Art of SoundFont, in the tree window I am supposed to see SoundFont Bank (or the name of the one I loaded) followed by folders named Sample Section, User Sample Pool, ROM Sample Pool, Instrument Pool, Preset Section, Melodic Pool, and Percussi've Pool.
    ?When I open up the copy of the program that I downloaded, I get only SoundFont Bank all by itself, with no folders at all following it.
    When I load a SF2 file that I made with the version 2. that came with the old AWE64, I get the name of my file followed by folders for Bank 0, bank , and Bank 28, that can be expanded into the instruments that I put into them. But I continue not to see any of the folders from Sample Section to Percussi've Pool.
    Uninstalling the first copy of VSFS, downloading a new copy, and installing that did not remove the problem.
    Anybody have any idea what could be causing this? It makes me completely unable to use this program.
    -William Hirsch

    yep.  Ive actually sat down with the car's manual three times and followed the instructions exactly, but the phone doesnt seem to be able to find my car's bluetooth.  it did find one in someone else's car yesterday though!

  • Apple TV + wireless Apple Keyboard?

    Will an update for the Apple TV be offered that allows me to use my wireless apple keyboard?

    While I would have liked the keyboard when entering the wireless passphrase, unless Apple starts putting more apps that need a keyboard (i.e.: Twitter) the probablility of keyboard support seems pretty low. 
    You can suggest to Apple to add keyboard support and appropriate apps:

    Hey damien555,
    Thanks for the question, I understand how frustrating this may be. It sounds like the update process may have been interrupted, and to resolve the issue, we’ll need to restore your device in recovery mode with iTunes:
