HT201257 Hardware Test with Mac bluetooth wireless keyboard

Greetings ... Can anyone suggest a way to initiate the Hardware Test (depress D while booting up) when using the bluetooth wireless keyboard? The grey screen appears before the keyboard is located. Thanks John

Apple always includes OEM DVD.
If there was none, then they can supply a replacement set for a small fee.
Only systems that shipped iwth Lion pre installed have network install and AHT.

Bluetooth wireless keyboard and Centro (Verizon)

Anyone else having trouble navigatating menus within Palm applications on their Centro using Bluetooth keyboard Fn or Cmd arrow keys? I can go up and down but not side to side. Downloaded latest driver which is actually the same driver that came with the keyboard.
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

Follow up: Palm live chat passed me on to tech support, who advised the Centro is not compatible with the Bluetooth wireless keyboard, then passed me on again to the Palm store for a return. The Palm Store advertises the items as compatible and insist I just have a bad keyboard. They are shipping another. I will pass on the results with the new keyboard. Is anyone else successfully using a Bluetooth keyboard with a Centro?

Connecting with Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard

Does anyone know if you can pair an iphone with the apple wireless keyboard? Is this something that is coming?

Currently you cannot do this. No one here knows if this is a feature that is or is not coming, unless Apple announces, which they rarely do. You can submit feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard not Connecting to iPad

Hey, I try to connect my Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard is not connecting to my iPad. I tap Bluetooth "On" and it searches for devices. Then I slide the switch on the back of my keyboard to the green light and the iPad picks it up and says "Not Paired." So I tap the keyboard and it just spins and spins and spins until the keyboard times out and powers off. Then it disappears and my iPad can't find any devices. I repeated the process several times and I got the same result.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

I had a very similar problem, with a new model wireless keyboard. The set-up is not very intuitive (and the instructions for both the iPad and the keyboard are not particularly helpful). Here's how I got it to work:
1. If the keyboard has already been paired with another object -- e.g., I was testing out my iMac keyboard -- you should be completely out of range of that other object (more than 30 feet away).
2. Make sure Bluetooth on the iPad is disabled.
3. The keyboard should not be "on" -- i.e., no solid green light.
4. Press and hold the power button on the keyboard until you get a blinking green light. This should take just a few seconds.
5. Turn on Bluetooth on the iPad.
6. At this point, it should detect the keyboard and instruct you to enter a combination of keys to pair the two devices.
I found that you have to follow this sequence or it won't work. For example, if you have Bluetooth on on the iPad before holding the power button on the keyboard, it won't work.
I hope that helps.

Just bought a new mac mini, wireless keyboard, and track pad. My track pad will not synch. All advise I have been given is to change items in the setting menu, but I cant because I still have to get through the setup!!

Just bought a new mac mini, wireless keyboard, and track pad. My track pad will not synch. All advise I have been given is to change items in the setting menu, but I cant because I still have to get through the setup!!

The power button for the Trackpad is on the right hand end of the battery case. Press that button to initiate the pairing process. On the top of the Trackpad just above the power button is a tiny green light (you probably cannot see it unless it is lighted). That light will indicate ehther or not the Trackpad is discoverable. If the Trackpad has discoverable the green light will blink on and off. If it does not pair within 3 minutes you will have to press the power button again to re-initiate the pairing process. Once your Trackpad has paired, you can just leave it on and it will pair automatically when you reboot your Mac.
If you are having problems pairing, try turning off any other Bluetooth devices within 30 or so feet of your Mac mini. That includes other Computers, iPhones, iPads, etc. that may be in the area. Once your Trackpad has pairedwith your mini, you don't have to be concerned about other Bluetooth devices.
One other hint, I find that although the Wireless Trackpad does not eat batteries as fast as the Magic Mouse it still uses more than the Wireless Keyboard. It is a good idea to keep a supply of AA batteries around. I have used Apple's Rechargable batteries, but found they did not last that long before needing to be recharged. I have had the best battery life from Duracell Quantum batteries.

I would not waste time trying to troubleshoot the problem. Since it is new, call Applecare with a warranty problem. I had a similar problem with a new KB some time ago and it was replaced at no cost (shipping included).

How do i get my iphone5 to pair with my apple wireless keyboard?

how do i get my iphone5 to pair with my apple wireless keyboard?

turn on bluetooth on you iPhone (Settings > Bluetooth > On) on you iMac click the bluetooth icon in the status bar or go to System Preferences (System Preferences > Bluetooth > Set to 'ON' and 'Discoverable') then either on you iPhone or iMac, search and select the other device and choose to pair them.
That's basically it! Hope it helps

Bluetooth Wireless keyboard lagging pretty badly

I have had the Bluetooth Wireless keyboard (tiny silver one) for almost a year now, and just the past couple of weeks it has started to lag on me when typing on it. I type a few letters, then have to wait for the beach ball to stop spinning before I can keep going. Back spacing (delete key) is also painfully slow. Batteries aren't the problem, four bars out of five, but changed them anyway to see if it made a difference. It didn't.
Are these keyboards really only good for a year? I'm about two weeks away from the one year point. I did have the wireless mighty mouse for many months before having to give it up due to many problems, but I just can't give up my tiny wireless keyboard! I love it too much!! Or at least, I used to love it. Now I'm just frustrated.
My iMac is also set up wirelessly, and I do have very slow back up times too. I had to give up using Time Capsule and Time Machine due to how slow they worked.
Will my slow wireless network affect the keyboard?
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance, Deb

Hello deb:
The wireless network should not (IMHO) have an effect on your Bluetooth devices.
You could try resetting the PRAM and see if that helps:

I might also reset the SMC (although that might not do anything):
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
For good measure, trash these two preference files (again, a shot in the dark) and restart:
com.apple.bezelservices.plist (one in home folder, one in Macintosh HD).
Barry
P.S. If that does not help, call Applecare (or go to an Apple store) with a waranty issue (before it expires).

I'm missing a HOME key on a new bluetooth wireless keyboard.

Does anyone know where to find the HOME key on the new smaller bluetooth wireless keyboard? I spilled coffee on my full keyboard and can't bring it back to life. I need the HOME key for a music online service. It returns the playhead on trascription to start.

You should be able to see the number in your system files/foldes by navigating to:
Mac:
/Users/[your user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Lightroom 4.0 Registration
Windows
C:\[your user name]\Program Data\Adobe\Lighroom\Lightroom 4.0 Registration

My Ipad2 won't pair up with my apple wireless keyboard.

My Ipad2 won't pair up with my apple wireless keyboard. It shows it's available to be paried, but when I try to type the 4 number code and press enter, nothing happens and finally the bluetooth search times out. Anyone with suggestions?

I realize this is an old post, however I had the same problem (Apple 2009 Aluminum BlueTooth keyboard and iPad 2). I kept getting the "Pairing Unsuccessful" message. Here's what worked for me:
1. Turn off the keyboard by holding down the power button until the green light turns off.
2. I power cycled the iPad by holding the sleep/wake and home button until the screen went to black, and turned it on again. (Not sure if this was necessary, but I figure it couldn't hurt.)
3. Holding the keyboard in my lap, I pressed AND HELD the power button in through the next few steps. (DO NOT LET GO UNTIL I SAY SO)
4. At this point, I got the message on the iPad to type the code. YESSSSSSSSS!
5. STILL CONTINUING TO hold in the power button, I keyed in the code and pressed return.
6. Next thing I saw was:
Bluetooth (ON ( ))
Devices
Apple Wireless Keyboard ----------------------------------------- Connected (>)
7. That's it. You can let go of the power button now.
Hope this helps, I thought I'd post this in case anyone else was having similar problems.
Cheers!

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.

I'm having issues with my apple wireless keyboard and bootcamp 5

I'm having issues with my apple wireless keyboard.
I just bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard for my ThinkPad E430 but the keys are not compatible.
I installed BootCamp 5 and it worked great but whenever I restart, it changes my system's time.

What do you mean by racing around in circles? Have you done any damage to your phone? Like drop it or get it wet?
