Having trouble connecting non apple brand wireless keyboard

I recentily bought an ONN wireless Keyboard Model number LK6500R for my (early)2011 macbook pro version 10.7.3. I am having a problem connecting it to the computer. When i plug it in itself nothing happends. The keys and the "connect button" dont work. when i connect my mouse in with it, in the keyboard prefresences of the mac, the "change keyboard type" button appears. however when i follow the instruction for the mac to reconize the keyboard by pressing "z" nothing happends. Is this keyboard just not compatible? or is there something i need to download? (the keyboard has a "nano port "usb")

Have you tried restarting youre computer after you plug it in? It worked for me.

  • Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard not Connecting to iPad

    Hey, I try to connect my Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard is not connecting to my iPad. I tap Bluetooth "On" and it searches for devices. Then I slide the switch on the back of my keyboard to the green light and the iPad picks it up and says "Not Paired." So I tap the keyboard and it just spins and spins and spins until the keyboard times out and powers off. Then it disappears and my iPad can't find any devices. I repeated the process several times and I got the same result.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks

    I had a very similar problem, with a new model wireless keyboard. The set-up is not very intuitive (and the instructions for both the iPad and the keyboard are not particularly helpful). Here's how I got it to work:
    1. If the keyboard has already been paired with another object -- e.g., I was testing out my iMac keyboard -- you should be completely out of range of that other object (more than 30 feet away).
    2. Make sure Bluetooth on the iPad is disabled.
    3. The keyboard should not be "on" -- i.e., no solid green light.
    4. Press and hold the power button on the keyboard until you get a blinking green light. This should take just a few seconds.
    5. Turn on Bluetooth on the iPad.
    6. At this point, it should detect the keyboard and instruct you to enter a combination of keys to pair the two devices.
    I found that you have to follow this sequence or it won't work. For example, if you have Bluetooth on on the iPad before holding the power button on the keyboard, it won't work.
    I hope that helps.

  • I'm having trouble connecting my Intel iMac with the internet using wifi router

    I'm having trouble configuring my iMac to accept a connection with my Telstra Elite mobile broadband Wifi router.
    The iMac's Wifi is turned on and the elite router is selected in the Wifi list with a tick.
    The router is turned on, and connected to the internet.
    I'm able to surf the net and collect emails using my MacBook Pro ( what I'm using now) and my iPad with no hassles by connecting them to the Telstra Elite Wifi router. But I'm unable as yet to get a connection using the iMac.
    The Telstra router accepts up to 5 simultaneous connections.
    At present the display on the router says that three devices are connected. They being the iPad, the MacBook Pro and the iMac.
    Can anyone help me out?

  • I am having trouble connecting IPAD1 to wireless any suggestions?

    I am having trouble connecting my IPad1 to Belkin Wireless Router. It was working fine until a couple of days ago. I can use my IMAC okay via wireless. I can see my network on the IPad, but message comes up "unable to join the network XXXX". I have read the Apple recent release to fix this problem...still no luck. Can anyone please help?

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
    If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

  • I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server.

    I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server, but this message continues to pop-up several times a day at random intervals. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is my computer just having a glitch? Other than that, and a mildly sticking caps lock button, it's working perfectly.
    Thank you!

    Alright it didn't solve it. Any other suggestions?
    I haven't suggested a solution yet. I want to know whether you still get the messages while Time Machine is disabled. Do you? If so, try any or all of the solutions proposed in this thread:

  • I am having trouble connecting to my in-home internet via wireless router. It says it is connected, but when I try to open email, no connection is found. This also occurs for Safari and Facebook. I am connected by Charter Cable.

    I am having trouble connecting to my in-home internet via my wireless router. The IPad says I'm connected to the router, but I am unable to receive email, Facebook and Safari. I run through Charter Cable.  This only occurs on my IPad. My desktop works fine.

    Although it may ultimately be necessary to perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme and start over with a new configution, we can first try to see if things will work with the existing settings on the device.
    Push the reset button (if present) on the cable modem
    Power off the modem by pulling the power cable
    Remove the internal battery from the modem (if easily accessible)
    Power off the AirPort Extreme and every other device on the network....order is not important
    Wait at least 20 minutes....longer is better
    Re-install the battery in the modem if it was removed previously
    Make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the AirPort Extreme
    Power up the modem and let it run 4-5 minutes buy itself
    Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it run 4-5 minutes
    Then power up each other network device one at a time about a minute apart
    Check for a good Internet connection on the network with all devices
    If still no luck, you will need to perfom a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme as follows:
    Pull the power plug from the back of the AirPort Extreme
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding it another 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back in to the AirPort Extreme
    Release the reset button and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    Then open AirPort Utility end reconfigure the AirPort Express again.

  • I am having trouble connecting to my wireless internet. I keep getting message that my network configuration settings have changed. Ive been advised that i need to change settings to look for dynamic ip address ?

    I am having trouble connecting to my wireless internet and am getting the message that my network configuration settings have changed. I have reported it to my provider who advised that they think the Mac is looking for a fixed IP address and they use dynamic addresses. I have had the Mac for months and have not had this problem before. I would appreciate any help please on how to fix this ?

    Then I get a separate pop up that says: Secure Connection Failed. aus3.mozilla:443 uses an invalid security certificate.
    The certificate is only valid for the following names: securelogin.arubanetworks.com, www.securelogin.arubanetworks.com
    (Error code: ssl_error_cert_domain)
    This could be a problem with the server's configuration or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.
    If you have connected to this server successfully in the past the error may be temporary and you can try again later.
    I have tried many many times!

  • Im having trouble connecting to my old HP 5MP on small network

    Im having trouble connecting to my old (but still a great printer) HP 5MP which is connected (be causes it has no ethernet built in) via an Ansante eternet/localtalk bridge to the ethernet network and ti my old G4 Power PC Quicksilver (using 10.4.11). That is shared both by ethernet and (via my vodafone wireless router to my 21" iMac Macbook Pro. When I bought my new iMac and MBP I kept my old G4 so I could still use by SCSI Scanmaker E3+ scanner and my non-USB, non ethernet printer by sharing it from the G4. Worked OK but now not so over either wi-fi or ethernet. I just updated to Lion on the iMac and am on Snow Leopard on the MBP and they say they can't find suitable drivers. My work around has been to print to "Mail pdf" to myself and pick it up on the G4 and print from there direct to the 5MP. But now I can't even connect to the 5MP from there since downloading a software update which was something about enhancements to Airport.
    Have tried resetting tie printing system, repairing disc permissions and rebuilding the drive using diskwarrior on t he G4 but now I can't get any mac to see and add the 5MP. My old Epson Photo stylus 1200 works OK on USB but I need my 5MP tp work. Can you help on that please?

    Those converters like the AsanteTalk are notorious for not re-acquiring Printers that drop out for any reason.
    Get everything else powered up, then cycle off the AsanteTalk, count slowly to 10, then power the AsanteTalk on last.

  • I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. It is not an issue with the service/router. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport... anyone know what's up with this?

    I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. I am able to connect to other networks but not my own. It is not an issue with the service/router because other devices connect fine. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport. Last time it happended I called apple and the suggested I wipe my HD and reinstall everything. I did and it did not work. One day I turned my laptop on and it connected no problem. Now it has kicked me off again. I tried resetting my IP address but that does not work either! Has anyone had this problem?

    Try this:
    Apple menu / System Preferences / Network.
    Click Location: and select Edit Locations..
    Click + (plus sign), and enter a name for the new location - anything will do.
    Apply this.

  • I'm having trouble connecting my iphone to my itunes on my computer

    So for christmas I got an iPhone and currently, I'm having trouble connecting my iPhone to my iTunes on my computer. If I get on my computer and open my iTunes, I can use it perfectly fine but once I tried to connect my phone to it, it told me the software needed to be updated before it would work with my phone. I went to the website and tried downloading the updated version 10 times but every time it told me it couldn't connect with an apple device or something. So then I tried just going to my downloads and stuff and moving the actual song straight to my phone but it would always tell me my device has ended or has been disconnected. All I'm trying to do is move some songs onto my phone from my computer. They weren't purchased straight from iTunes so it's not showung up in my "purchased" on my phone. (I think I got them from amazon and some are cds that I my computer that I got years ago. Maybe thats why they don't show up in the purchased?) Anyway, how can I fix this? I have a windows computer if that can help at all. Thanks!!!

    Also, I just opened my iTunes on my computer then plugged my phone to the computer and a box popped up saying "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device is not started"
    I have no idea what that means.
    I don't have that option on the side that says what device is connected so I can't sync or anything.

  • Hi, My daughters just got an ipod touch today and I'm having trouble connecting it to my Wi-Fi network!??

    Hi,
    My daughters just got an ipod touch today and I'm having trouble connecting it to my Wi-Fi network.  It identifies my wireless connection but then says 'unable to join the network' with the word 'Dismiss' underneath.  Any ideas on what I can do? Thanks!!

    Hi
    Thanks for your reply.  I've tried resetting a few times. There is no 'tick' next to the name of my wireless connection so it won't connect at all.  I think I may have to do something with my router as there is an arrow button to press next to my wireless name, this takes me to a screen which asks for IP address, then has options for DHCP   BootP and Static, it asks for Client ID DNS etc - all gobbledegook to me!!   Perhaps my router is blocking the Ipod?
    Thanks anyway!
