How do you factory reset the aluminum bluetooth keyboard?

When I got my new BT keyboard, I set it up on my macbook just to test it out. But its final use was with the mac mini in my living room.
I deleted the pairing from my macbook and paired it with my mini. All was working ok until a few days ago, when the keyboard light started flashing for no reason when in use, and my macbook shows that the keyboard is trying to pair with it.
Is there a way to factory reset the keyboard, so it doesn't remember any previous pairings? I know this is possible with other bluetooth devices, I just can't find how to do it with this apple keyboard.

Hello:
Try trashing the preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restarting.

  • How do you factory reset macbook

    My friend has just bought a shop display macbook laptop from Duty Free Sales at Bristol Airport for her daughter. They put password in to prevent customers playing with it. She cannot get answer from shop as to what password is and unless she flies out again security will not let her through to the shop. How can she do a factory reset please? She doesn't have a Leopard disk
    Thanks
    Rick

    Rick - you should get the install discs from the seller. As ypw mentioned, you can reset the password using those.
    The following instructions you should use with caution, as it requires booting the computer into single user mode.
    Otherwise, with the computer off you could hold down Apple Key and S and turn the computer on.
    It will boot into single user mode - command prompts. You will then have to mount the disk, the instructions are provided at the last second, but it's the command fsck -y then the command mount -uw /
    Once mounted, type passwd and it will ask you to enter the new password. You could also run passwd <username> (insert the username there).
    By running the first option, that will enable the root account and set the password to whatever, therefore to login you would enter the username root and the password you supplied.
    Be careful not to mess with much, and once you use it try to get the leopard disc and do a reinstall of the OS when you get home.

  • How do you factory reset a Satellite M50 -159

    Hi,
    I need to factory reset the above laptop. I've looked through the forum and seen a post saying to press 0 to access this option but this doesn't work. The laptop did not come with any CDs as the factory software is on a hidden partition on the hard disk.
    Any other suggestions as to how to access the factory reset options?
    Thanks in advance
    Michael

    According to the User's Manual for your Satellite M50, it came with a "Product Recovery Disk."
    Maybe I looked up the wrong computer?

  • HT5312 But how do you actually reset the security questions?

    How do you reset your security questions?

    The page that you posted from has instructions half-way down it for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 should let you reset them.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

    The counter did not automatically reset upon install.

    "A hard or forced reset erases all information in the computer's memory which may restore functionality" Before I try this, I need to be clear about what is erased with a hard or forced reset - Is it "all information in the computer's memory" or only the information in the computer's memory that is involved in restoring functionality?

  • Microsoft office CD keys. How do you delete/reset the key?

    Well I picked up my new macbook and my friend decided to instal microsoft office 2004 on my computer (I know have password locking). But when he did that instead of using one of my two keys still available on the one I purchased from the apple store.... He used a cracked key. Now I can't figure out how to erase the key and input my own key. If anyone could help me it would be much appreciated.

    Wipe off all microsoft office files. They will be in these directories:
    /Applications/
    /Applications/Utilities/
    /Library/Application Support/
    ~/Library/Application Support/ (this "Library" is the one in your "home" folder -- indicated here by the tilde)
    ~/Library/Preferences/
    ~/Documents/
    There will be com.Microsoft.application.plist files in the "Preferences" folder along with a folder called "Microsoft".
    Getting rid of all microsoft office related files in these folders should clear the installation off your system.
