How do i connect my keyboard when it is turned on and the batteries are new, the bluetooth does not recognize it?

I had a connection between my macbook pro and my wireless keyboard, when the keyboard stopped working.  I replaced the batteries, and it will no longer allow me to connect the keyboard.  In fact, my macbook no longer recognizes it at all when I try to reconnect via bluetooth.

Yes, I've had a similar problem:
My keyboard was connecting just fine except for recently when my son would switch to his user and then I would switch back after he finished his homework in another room in the house.
Now I've restarted and there is no longer a Bluetooth option to click in System Preferences, and as I dig deeper into the Network option, I can click the Bluetooth PAN, but if I try to "add" a BT device or select "Advanced" the button is grayed-out and the message says BT is not available.
The keyboard power cycles fine and is available to my iMac for pairing.
My top of the screen menu bar shows the BT symbol, but tells me it's not available.  Whaaaat???
Utilities' System Info tells me there is "no information available" when I click the BT devices under hardware.
Somehow it appears I've either lost the BT drivers or the module has failed.
Any suggestions??
TIA, Bradley

    Yes, if the movie has been downloaded to the iPad, then you can watch it without Wi-Fi.

  • I am trying to set up my new ipod touch and the system does not recognize my apple id.  How do I reset and start again.  I'm not sure what to do now.

    I can be reached at this email during the day [email protected]

    Try to change your Apple ID back to your old email address (http://appleid.apple.com) in order to set up and activate the phone. After the set up please sign out of iCloud and turn off "Find My iPhone" (Settings > iCloud) - do that on all your devices -, then change your Apple ID to your new address again and then add your iCloud account on you devices again.

  • When I click on buttons/pull down tabs on a variety of websites , I can see that I have pressed the button but the website does not recognize the action

    When I have visited travel websites I can not 'click' on the Calendar. I tried to buy a book and checked off to be visit as a guest - and the website did not recognize the button I had checked off. I tried to edit on 'online profile" and the website does not recognize that I have clicked the 'edit' button.
    I have not had problems before and do not understand why this has started to happen.
    I am running mac osx 10.7.5 and firefox 21

    If this was only on one or two sites, I'd suggest "Option #1" below and it's still a good idea. However, when several sites are involved, I begin to suspect an add-on. Hence, "Option #2" below.
    '''Option #1'''
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r / Command+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    (WIN) orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced<br>
    (MAC) Firefox menu > Preferences > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (complete any pending transaction first). While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    '''Option #2'''
    Try the sites in Firefox's Safe Mode. That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any difference?

  • When uploading my formatted resume to my Apple Jobs profile, I am always presented with a c:\fakepath message and the resume does not upload. How can I rectify this?

    When uploading my formatted resume to my Apple Jobs profile, I am always presented with a c:\fakepath message and the resume does not upload. How can I rectify this?

    Add this one to the list of thinks that don't work on the Apple Job Board. It looks like Apple is using ADP's VE (Virtual Edge) technology to run this system, and I've been stupified by the number of features that are just broken, or so poorly thought out by ADP as to be unusable, (certainly for webkit and mozilla browsers at least: I didn't bother checking IE.)
    Here are a few highlights:
    "My Job List", list of jobs applied for, seems to max out at three. You can apply for more than that, but you can only see the first three.
    "Search Using Your Resume" feature yields few or no results, even when the pasted text contains only common, exactly matched words like 'Design' or 'Engineer'.
    The missing resume upload, described in this thread.
    "My Job Agent" seems to never flag anything, at least it hasn't ever for me despite pretty loose criteria.
    Agent's created using "My Job Agent" eventually just disappear, which is fine because they don't seem to work.
    When updating a profile, acknowledging the 'Terms' happens twice in a row. 
    Job seekers can only supply one cover letter despite being able apply for several jobs.
    Pagination for search results only appears at the top of the page, so it's necessary to scroll down through each page, then up to the top again to proceed to the next page.
    Well, I'm sure there are others, but you get the idea. I hope the Apple folks can fix this, (or twist ADP's arm to fix it,) so it better represents the quality of experience that Apple is so respected for consistently delivering.

  • When typing an address in the location bar and pressing enter, nothing happens and the site does not load. How can I fix this?

    When I type a new URL in the address bar (or location bar), and I either type the complete URL or select from the drop down list, nothing happens. I hit enter, and the website does not load in the current tab, new tab nor in a new window. Exactly the same when I hit the green arrow to the right of the address bar. I am using Firefox 8, and all my add-ins are up to date.
    It has been working before. The setting to get Firefox to open new pages in a new tab from the address bar is there, so it should open a new tab. But I get nothing at all!
    Please help, how can I fix this?
    Thanks,
    James.

    That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • When I connect video projector via mini VGA to MacBook Air, the projector will not recognize the computer.

    I have no problem projecting PPT but when I try to project a video in whatever format, the projector does not recognize the computer.  Suggestions?

    Sorry I'm no help. I'm just here to say that I'm having the same issue and add a bit of info. I've always projected DVDs, with no problem, until I upgraded to OS X Mavericks. I'm teaching in the same room this semester, and now as soon as I plug in the VGA cord the DVD shuts down and I get a message saying "disc not supported." (The DVDs play fine on my computer--the problem arises when I plug in the cord.) Like you, I have no problem projecting my PowerPoints or images from the web. It's just the DVDs. Anyone? Help!

  • Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

    Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.  Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices.  After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected.  Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP.  Any solutions other than turning it on and off again?  Not a Merry Christmas morning.

    Ok, so, a couple of things:  Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod.  Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
    Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel.  Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem.  Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet.  Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod. 
    Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

    I have a DVD stock in my Imact and the finder does not recognice it. How can I get it out?

    Hold down the mouse button when shutting down,  If that doesn't work, try holding the Mac sideways and shaking gently, then if you see the edge of the disc, use tweezers to pull it out.

  • My Firefox version is 13.0.1, I use Windows Seven 64-bit, when I click on Firefox, but the program does not run! But Firefox is seen in the list of Windows proc

    My Firefox version is 13.0.1, I use Windows Seven 64-bit, when I click on Firefox, but the program does not run! But Firefox is seen in the list of Windows processes, while Firefox does not run.
    I manually deleted Firefox from the list once I have Windows processing.
    And when I clicked on Firefox, Firefox will open quickly and easily.
    Firefox process in Windows Processes names list called "firefox.exe * 32" is.
    Please try to solve my problem, my problem is how to solve?

    Hi, are you saying that you start Firefox and it stalls -- you can see it in the Task Manager but it never displays -- but if you kill that process and start Firefox again it starts up properly that second time?
    If you look at the statistics available in the Task Manager's processes tab such as bytes read or other bytes, can you see whether Firefox is doing anything at all? ''Note: You might need to add columns if your Processes tab isn't set up to display statistics. You can do that from the View menu.''
