How can I unpair a broken wireless keyboard

My keyboard broke down and I bought a new one. However, I have to unpair the old one before I can pair the new one.
Is it possible?

First make sure the batteries aren't dead and that the keyboard hasn't already been paired with another device. If it hasn't, the keyboard should pair automatically when you reboot. You may have to press and hold the power button on the right side of an Apple keyboard until the LED starts flashing.
Otherwise see these support articles:

If you have a third-party Bluetooth keyboard, you may need a wired keyboard to complete the pairing process. It's a good idea to keep a cheap wired keyboard and mouse or trackball as backups for a desktop Mac anyway, because Bluetooth isn't completely reliable.

  • HT201178 how do you unpair an apple wireless keyboard?

    I have an apple wireless keyboard, but I recently just purchased and apple keyboard with numeric keypad and I am wondering if I need to unpair the apple wireless keyboard from bluetooth or I dont know but, my new keyboard is wired so it should work already, correct?????

    Hello,
    I believe that when you plug in the USB keyboard, that one should control the device.
    However, why not either unpaid or turn the Bluetooth device off?

  • Can I hook up a wireless keyboard to my mac mini 2005 running OS X 10.4.11? if so how?

    can I hook up a wireless keyboard to my mac mini 2005 running 10.4.11? If so how?

    The original Mac Mini does have Bluetooth, see > Mac mini (original) - Technical Specifications
    Of course it also depends on what wireless keyboard you mean...?
    For more on setting up an Apple wireless keyboard, see > Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
    For more buying and/or using a third party wireless keyboard with a USB dongle, google the manufactures web site for compatibility and set-up information.

  • How can I change an english/american keyboard to a danish one?

    How can I change an english/american keyboard to a danish one on a Macbook Air?

    Apple menu / System Preferences / Keyboard / Input sources.
    Click + (bottom left) and in the pane that comes up, select Danish on the left, and click Add.
    Of course that can only change what the keys actually input, not what is written on the keys. If you wish to change the physical look of the keys as well, get in touch with Apple and ask if they can replace the keyboard.

  • How can i change my macbook pro keyboard buttom english to arabic

    How can i change my macbook pro keyboard buttom english to arabic

    Apple does make and sell MacBook Pros with Arabic keyboards but, as far as I know, they're only sold in the Arabic market. You may be able to special order one: I don't know. You may even be able to order the keyboard only online or at your local Apple Store and have your English keyboard replaced. Again, I don't know.
    The best thing to do, if you're in the US, is to call Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE. Tell them what you need and see how they might go about fulfilling your needs.
    Good luck,

    Hi,
    You may not have a wireless network adapter.
    If it is not in Network Adapters and you have no Device Manager errors or disabled devices under Network Adapters then that would be the case.

    When using iTunes on my iMac, I use my Delete key to delete a song and I get a pop-up.  This is OK, except the Keep File button is defaulted and I cannot tab or arrow to the "Move to Trash" (or Cancel) button, and so I need to use my mouse.  How can I do this only with keyboard?

    Huh.. Interesting. I went back to check these proceedures and found there is a difference between using the return key or the space bar as the action command.
    tabbing the blue ring moves the selection and then spacebar takes that action. The return key takes action of only the blue collored button.
