How to enter my password after replacing keyboard batteries

I have just replaced the batteries in my keyboard (first time I've done this). The Mac was asleep and needs a password to wake up, but the keyboard "pairing needed" light is flashing and I cannot enter the password as the keyboard cannot transmit to the machine! How do I get round this, please? Thank you for any suggestions.

I'm not an iMac owner yet, but as you say the unit is asleep, I would do a hard shut down and then re-start. By hard shut down I mean press and hold the start button a few seconds until it shuts off. It may then recognize the keyboard.

  • TS1702 I am trying to install an app, I'm asked to enter my password, but my keyboard won't pop up, only the option to paste, but when I choose paste, nothing fills in (which makes sense as I have not copied anything). How can I make my keyboard appear?

    Are you tapping on the field you want to enter data into? That opens the soft keyboard. If you touch the field and hold it, the paste option will appear.

    Hello joe2616,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue where your Wi-Fi network is dropping, please follow the directions outlined below.
    Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly
    Your Mac may not not stay connected to your Wi-Fi network reliably.
    Your Mac may stop accessing the Internet during use.
    Solution
    Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.
    Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.
    If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
    Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.

  • How do I recreate passwords after resetting phone?

    How do I recreate passwords after resetting my iphone5?

    Yep, that erases all saved WiFi passwords. Means you'll have to input them again when you join each network. There's no way to "just add them back", if that's what you're asking, nor can they be retrieved anywhere.

  • Why do I get sent to the User Login screen to enter my password after sleep?

    Hi,
    On OSX Lion, 10.7.4. I recently had to reinstall the OS on a new hard drive in my iMac and now have an issue with it that I never had before.
    After prolonged periods of sleep (I haven't determined what the minimum length is before this will happen), when I come to wake the computer it shows me the User Login screen. Under my user icon is an orange checkmark, presumably to show that I am the user logged in. Otherwise it is exactly the same as the User Login screen one gets when the computer boots up. I select my user icon and enter my password and the computer unlocks.
    I haven't got this set up anywhere, that I know of. I don't have the 'Security & Privacy - Require password for sleep and screen saver' option checked, never have. If I do turn that on just to check, it's a very different password screen, a little popup window in the centre of the dimmed screen.
    How do I turn this feature off?
    Thanks,
    Owen

    Sounds like you may have deleted something you shouldn't have. Boot to an OS X DVD or a bootable backup, and using Disk Utility, do a repair disk, and while there repair permissions. Disconnect any peripherals, and reboot. If you get the same startup behavior, do a safe boot, by holding the shift key down when booting. If that works, try a normal boot. If neither step helps, you may need to relaod your operating system.

  • My iPad2 keeps asking me to enter my password after updating to iOS5.1

    Hello,
    I can't find the answer to this after lots of searching and it's driving me crazy!
    My iPad2 keeps reverting back to the Lock screen and asks me to enter my password. This happens whilst in the middle of using apps, especially ones that involve video. This only started this week when it was updated to iOS5.1. When I sign back in, it is just on my Home screen and the app has shut down. When I go back into the app it isn't at the point that it forced me to leave it.
    It is not technically my iPad and as a result I've got to have certain settings on it - I've got to have a password of at least 8 characters and I'm not allowed to reset the whole thing. I can't turn those settings off.
    I have tried a restart by pressing the lock and home buttons at the same time, but that hasn't worked.
    Is it possible to just go back to using iOS5? Or is there another way of fixing it?
    Any advice would be appreciated!

    I don't know of a way to lock out of Settings. However, go to Settings > General > Restrictions. Although you cannot restrict settings, there are some other things that you can restrict, like app purchases, etc. Basically, what this will do is require a 4-digit passcode SEPARATE from the one used to unlock the iPad. No one can use features that you have chosen to restrict without knowing the password.

  • Why does the screen shut off and I have to re enter my password after a few seconds?

    WHen I am using my MacBook Air, writing down some notes, the screen shuts off after a few seconds. I have to re-enter my password again. This is happening every few seconds. It is driving me crazy! Help!

    Adjust things here:
     > System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Start After: > Set the time interval
     > System Preferences > Energy Saver > Battery

  • HT1695 how to enter wifi password from ipad

    I just purchased the Ipad with wifi.  As I am going thru setting it up for the first time it takes me to the page to select a wifi network.  I select the one I have from COX.  However this is the lock icon.  When I select it I do not have the option to enter a password.  How do I resolve this issue?

    When you choose your own network, the lock only means it's locked to anyone who doesn't have access to the password.  Once you choose it, wait a minute or so and a box should come up (your iPad will be looking at IP addresses, etc., the first time through, so it may take a minute).  When the password box opens, usually your iPad is looking for the encryption key code from your wireless router.  The encryption key code is usually found on a sticker on the router is most often a 9 - 13 digit code comprised of numbers and letters.

  • Yosemite server Profile manager how setup time for password after sleep

    Hi,
    In Profile Manager in Setup & Privacy is possibility setup password after sleep, but I need setup time period. Is it possible? Because when I push this profile it prevent users to setup this period and when i remove this profile (whole payload for Security & Privacy) it still prevent users to change this two setting.

    Hi CodyCodes,
    Just discovered the same issue today as well.  Further complicating things, the screensaver timeout setting in Login Window doesn't apply to Profile Manager clients no matter what the setting.  This was reproduced and confirmed by the Apple Tech I was working with.  He's submitted the bug to their engineering staff.  I requested that he ask them why there is no setting for password on sleep or screensaver.  Hopefully this is resolved soon, as this feature is 99% of the reason we're implementing Profile Manager to begin with.
    Cheers

  • Fail to enter bootcamp win7 after replacing CD-Ron with SSD

    I replaced CD-Ron with SSD.
    I successfully enter mac on both HD and SSD, failed with enter win7 on HD.
    It stops at black screen and a write bar shining on the corner.
    Is it because the windows system can't find my CD-Ron?Then how?
    Tks. ^^

    So I try booting without the DVD player attached, and there is no Windows option or startup item.
    I try booting with the DVD plugged in, but without the USB attached, and I get the Windows DVD to show as a start up option: I click it and it sits with a black screen and the blinking prompt.
    I am seriously at a loss here folks.  What the heck.
    The machine sees the DVD.
    It does not see or acknowledge the USB stick as anything past the BOOTCAMP function of putting files on it, but nothing happens with it past that.
    Am I missing something in BootCamp?  Am I missing an option?

  • How to enter time machine after a fresh install??

    Hi I just reinstalled my system after I got many errors and many clutter on my hard drive. I made a full TM backup before formatting the hard drive.
    Now I am in the new fresh system and my time machine hard drive is displayed but just as an external hard drive (displayed in yellow instead of green) and I can not enter the time machine.
    What did I do wrong? I don't want to restore everything the way it was before but just certain settings and items. So basically I want to  use the timemachine interface and select the items I want to restore instead of using the migration assistant where I have to restore full categories.....
    How can I do this????
    Oh by the way, I am using OSX Mavericks.

    You have to enable Time Machine in System Preferences > Time Machine. Also, now Time Machine detects your Mac OS X copy as one installed on a new Mac, so it won't allow you to restore files from the backups through your Time Machine interface.
    To restore your files manually with Time Machine, see > http://pondini.org/TM/E3.html

  • How to fix a Mac after the keyboard malfunctions?

    I was in Numbers when my Mac started acting weird.  It would no type in what I was typing, and numbers started doing things with cells.  I stopped numbers and restarted it with no change in the weird characters.  I then shut down numbers and opened Safari or something else and had the same keyboard problems.  I restarted the computer, but could not get on because it did not recognize my password, same keyboard problem.  I then shut down the Mac, and restarted and had the same result.  Net, I'm locked out.  Help!

    After reading some other similar comments, and waiting 24 hrs, I rebooted holding down the <control> key.  It looked a little different, but the keyboard has worked fine since.  I haven't opened the Numbers document that started it all.  It was stored in the Cloud.  When I first opened it on my iPad I was able to finish the document, but my iPad crashed.  A soft reboot fixed that (thought I'd lost them both).
