Help! - Can't sync Wireless Keyboard - Catch 22

Hi, my old wireless keyboard stopped working consistently, so I replaced it with a new one. The problem is that I can't log onto my iMac with either keyboard: the old one doesn't work (i.e. not all the keys are working--at least not the ones I need to enter my password), and the new one doesn't work yet because I can't log onto the iMac to sync it up. Catch 22. Batteries are new. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Because I didn't get a response I ended up buying a wired keyboard. So I'm all set--the answer is that if your wireless keyboard ceases to function and you've found yourself logged out of your iMac, don't assume that getting a replacement wireless keyboard will somehow magically solve your issue. It doesn't. There is no way to log on unless you have a wired keyboard. I have one now and was able to sync up my wireless.

    The only way is the ways you have already been told about.

  • Cannot re-sync Wireless Keyboard KG-1061

    Just received a wireless Keyboard KG-1061 from HP to replace my wireless keyboard KBRF1921 that had bad keys.  I cannot sync up the keyboard with the wireless Receiver (USB).  The wireless mouse works fine.  I watched the HP video on how to re-sync a keyboard but it still does not work.  Any suggestions.  Thanks
    My PC is a P7Z with Windows 7.  
    PS.  I can put the batteries back into the wireless KBRF1921 keyboard and it still works.  
    PS PS ANYONE OUT THERE -  PLEASE HELP   THANKS!!

    You may need to replace the battery in the keyboard with a fresh set.  When I use wireless keyboards I tend to use rechargeable batteries as this is an issue that will repeat itself when the batteries lose their charge.

  • Help with the Palm WIreless Keyboard

    Hello all,  I have a Palm Tungsten E2 device with the universal wireless keyboard.  I am familiar with most of the functions of the keyboard however there is one thing I have found elusive to this point.  I'll do my best to describe the issue in detail so here goes. 
     My problem occurs when I open the calendar using the wireless keyboard shortcut (Fn + 4). I press the sequence and my palm pilot opens the calendar to the default "agenda" view, which is fine, but from there I want to navigate to the "daily", "weekly" or "monthly" view quickley (without using the stylus). I know to reach "daily" I press (start + enter) in the "agenda" view which highlights the first scheduled task for that particular day then pressing (start + enter) again opens the "daily" view.  From there I can enter appointments as I see fit. But, what I want to do is navigate directly from "agenda" to "monthly" or "weekly".  Is there a way to do this with a shortcut key combination? Also,  I don't want to change the pilots default calendar setting from agenda to monthly.  
    Hopefully this makes sense,  please let me know if there is a way to do this, also, if more information is required please post and I will respond.
    Thanks,
    CKF

    For Vista that version will not let you install programs. Good news though is we have a version you can. Go here, http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/windesk62.html and install this on top of the version you already have. There is going to be a few changes on the desktop, there is no quick install, but the install tool.
    Once you have that done just double click on keyboard and it will ask you your hotsync name and sync and your done.
    Oh as a side note the check if this is your solution is only if the answer solves your original question.
    Message back if you have more question or need more help

  • I can't sync wireless iPhone movies

    Hi!
    When I sync my iPhone 3GS (with iOS 5)  wirelessly with iTunes it says it can not sync the movies i shot with the phone. iTunes says that the movies .MOV is not supported by my phone.
    Can anybody help me with this?
    Thanks!

    Hi jmolina11 -
    I have been having similar problems since a recent software upgrade - my upgrades are set to automatic so I am not able to name the specific upgrade.
    I was getting the same error message, this is what worked for me after unsuccessfully following many of the other work arounds suggested here and in other forums.
    I RESTORED my phone.
    Connect your phone to your computer and open iTunes - your computer and phone may do this automatically:
    (1) In iTunes go to Devices tab on the left side, select the iPhone icon
    (2) Under Version see the Restore tab
    (3) Click Restore
    (4) You will be asked if you want to Backup the iPhone - YES! YES! YES!
    (5) Continue through the permission for the Restone process, which depending on your iPhone and computer may take up to 30-45 minutes.
    Having done this the first time, I no longer get the error message '13019' - and my songs are playing, the sync command completes and it is seamless.
    All my iPhone data: text messages, music, podcasts, voice memos, calendars, photos, address books and all apps loaded withour problems - I did not check, uncheck, omit delete anything: this includes NOT deleting library plist files on my computer or deleting anything else on my iPhone.
    I just rechecked the sync issue, its 24 hours since the Restore.
    I have conducted a second sync command and it is seamless with no error message.
    I hope this is your experience too.
    Good luck - remember - please backup your backup.

  • Can't reconnect wireless keyboard

    Tonight I'm coming home, and my Air has lost connection with its wireless keyboard.
    I tried to reconnect, impossible.
    I changed the batteries, still no connection.
    The keyboard works, since I can see the light when I press the on/off button, and the light for the 'caps lock'....but just can't reconnect, the Air doesn't see it.
    Help ?
    Laurent

    Try pairing it through System Preferences > Bluetooth > hit the "+" below the list on the left. Make sure your keyboard is in discovery mode.
    Here is info on the keyboard and the light indicators:
    About the Indicator Light
    The LED on your Apple Wireless Keyboard functions as a battery indicator and a status light. When you first turn on your keyboard, the light glows steadily for 5 seconds, indicating the batteries are good. After 5 seconds, if your keyboard isn’t paired with your Mac, the light begins to blink indicating your keyboard is in discovery mode and ready to pair with your Mac (pairing means your keyboard and Mac are connected wirelessly and ready to communicate with each other).
    If you don’t pair your keyboard with your Mac within 3 minutes, the indicator light and keyboard turn off to preserve battery life. Push and release the On/off (®) switch to turn your keyboard on again, allowing you to pair it with your Mac (see page 5).
    Once you successfully pair your keyboard with your Mac, the indicator light glows steadily for 3 seconds, and then turns off. If you push the On/ off (®) switch and the light doesn’t illuminate, you may need new or charged batteries.

  • TS3999 I am receiving an error message "setup can't continue because outlook isn't configured to have a default profile" I have checked all defaults are on in outlook. Please help, can't sync my calenders or contacts, but the email works fine in outlook.

    Can't get my Icloud to connect to outlook. Error message - setup can't continue because outlook isn't configured to have a default profile.  Help! Can't sync my contacts or calender with my other devices. Email works fine.  Steve

    I've looked at the Microsoft support info and it doesn't reveal anything new. I looked up the eM Client software and have decided to give it a try. I've been using Thunderbird and Gmail for years, but the issue of keeping contacts in snyc accross platforms led me to try Outlook as supposedly compatable with iCloud. Thanks for eM Client tip. It seems to work well and I'll be testing it for the next few weeks. While I'd still like to be able to solve the issue with Outlook (I'm not used to being defeated by software), I've got plenty of other things to keep me busy and a working solution is the priority here.
    Thanks for the tip!

  • TS4062 Can't sync wirelessly with new iPhone

    I've done all seven steps here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4062?viewlocale=en_US. I have an iPod, iPad, and iPhone 4. All were syncing wirelessly. I upgraded the iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5. The new iPhone won't sync wirelessly. The iPad and iPod still sync fine. On the iPhone, the "Sync Now" button is greyed out. I have iOS 6.0.2, iTunes 11.0.1, and Mac OS X 10.7.5.
    Why does this have to be such a pain?

    Ever since the new version of itunes came out, I can't sync my ipod with it. I have Windows 7 and an ipod nano.
    Doublechecking ... do you have the new 10.6.1.7 version (released yesterday, NZ Time)?
    From the notes for the release:
    iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
    • Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
    • Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
    • Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
    • Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

  • Can the apple wireless keyboard work with Apple TV

    I just set up my ATV and was wondering if it can recognize an apple wireless keyboard. If so, how would I set that up?

    No, this is not currently possible.
    If you have an iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad you could use Apple's Remote app.

  • HT5633 Apple TV 5.2 can't find wireless keyboard

    Hi,
    I have a 2011 iMac with wireless keyboard, magic mouse and magic trackpad and I just bought Apple TV yesterday. I have repeatedly tried to pair my keyboard with my Apple TV using bluetooth but Apple TV never finds my keyboard, the screen just has the spinning circle with the words "searching". I have brought my keyboard into close proximity to the Apple TV, just in case it was too far away, with no change.
    My keyboard, trackpad and mouse are all discoverable on my iMac and still nothing.
    The batteries are not old, the keyboard is set to "discoverable" and my iMac connects with Apple TV with no issues, so I cannot for the life of me figure out what is preventing my Apple TV from recognising that there is a compatable bluetooth device available.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as it's an absolute PITA to use the remote to enter passwords etc.
    TIA
    Emma

    I was having the same issue.  I turned bluetooth OFF on all devices in the room including my Macbook and my iPhone5.  The ATV3 then successfully paired with my Apple Wireless Keyboard.  I hope this helps. Good luck.

    Yes, you can pair up your wireless Bluetooth mouse as well.  Most people find that using the iPad touch screen is easier,however.
