I doubt it, but the only way to find out is to try it.

Bluetooth Connectivity Issue with Apple Blue Tooth Keyboard

I have a blue tooth keyboard paired with my MacBook. I recently installed the latest Apple update and restarted the computer. When it fully rebooted, the keyboard was never picked up. I went into the system preferences to go through the blue tooth settings and tried to repair it or search for wireless devices. When I searched for devices, it picked up the keyboard, but when I tried to pair them, I got an error saying the keyboard was out of range and could not be connected to. I changed the batteries, turned it on and off, but still no results.
Any ideas?
I also have a bluetooth Apple Mighty Mouse which works fine, it's just the keyboard.

I know you may feel that you've already done this, but just try me.
I'm assuming you have installed 10.4.8, and all applicable security updates for your Mac- if not, please do, before you try the below.
Remove any pairing with your keyboard in your system preferences, and turn off all the bluetooth settings, including bluetooth itself. Make sure your Mighty Mouse is off, and will not be connected during this process.
-Shut down your Mac, and make sure the keyboard is off.
-Turn on your Mac, and when it's booted, open Bluetooth preferences, and turn Discoverable on.
-Go to the devices tab, and click on the 'Set up New Device' button in the lower right corner.
-When prompted, say yes to turn Bluetooth on.
-The Bluetooth assistant will begin.
-Select Keyboard from the list of devices.
-*Turn on your keyboard now, and then select continue.
Hopefully it will find your keyboard now, and you can continue to pair the keyboard with your Mac. When done, go back into Bluetooth preferences and turn Discoverable off, enable any other setting you would like, and under the device tab, select the keyboard, and click Add To Favourites.
I hope you're up and working~!
If not, we'll work on a Level 2 solution!

HT4108 Does anyone know if there is a blue tooth keyboard for an ipad air that will allow for a slideshow presentation to pair with a monitor.

Looking for a blue tooth keyboard that is compatible with the iPad air that has slideshow functionality for pairing with a monitor. I thought Zagg had one but they do not with the new operating system.
Thanks.

Is there a text box generator in InDesign that will allow you to create a text box with XXX amount of words in it? I work for a newspaper pagination desk and we always get asked to keep a hole for a story that may have 500 words in it. If there is such a thing this would be greatly helpful for people in my position to use this and implement it in the whole office so that we could plug in a space and keep a rough idea as to how much space we need.
Thanks in advance for your help

Use Type > Fill with Placeholder Text to generate lots of text. Select some text, then use Window > Info to display the number of selected words. Expand or contract the selection by holding Shift, or Shift+Cmd/Ctrl, and pressing arrow keys. When you have the number of words you want, copy, press Escape, click an empty spot on a page, then paste; the copied text appears in is own text frame. Select the frame and use Object > Fitting > Fit Frame to Content contain all the text within the frame.
Search Google for terms like "InDesign placeholder text" without quotes for info on changing the actual placeholder text, and also info on a text generator.

My Apple blue tooth keyboard will not pair with my mac mini

My Apple wireless keyboard was paired with my Mac Mini. It is no longer paired. I have put in new Batteries. I have pressed the button on the top right hand section of the keyboard, the green led lights up briefly. The Blue Tooth set up assistant appears on screen and searches for the keyboard. I has brifly seen it but does not make a connection. The Magic moose is doing the same thing.

Hi Darrell,
If your Apple Bluetooth and keyboard are not paring to your Mac Mini, then take a look at the article below to walk you through some general troubleshooting to get it to pair and start working again. If you have not done so already, try looking form anything could be causing interference like cordless phones as well and thing metal between the keyboard and the Mac Mini.

Is the Apple blue tooth keyboard compatible with the soft ware called Splash Top remote for iPad 2?, Is the Apple blue tooth keyboard compatible with the soft ware called Splash Top remote for iPad 2?

I have been trying to use my Zagg Folio with my ipad 2 and it works great with all my programs except the Splashtop Remote desk top which allows me to access my mac desktop from anywhere with wireless access. The Zagg Keyboard however will not type on my Desk top even though the ipad key board will. Is there any help out there for this issues?
Thanks
ROBOCO

Both should be able to, but you still have to press the button on Splashtop to bring up the iPad keyboard, then hide the touch keyboard, and you can use the Bluetooth Keyboard with your desktop/Splashtop.

Apple Blue Tooth Mouse wont connect

I have Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit. My Apple Blue Tooth keyboard works fine and connects but when i try the mouse it says Connecting to device.. And it says that forever and it never connects. I have the new Imac that came out this year and all updates are installed. Any ideas

You need to open up the bluetooth setting and check mark the option allow other device to find computer, then pair it once it's paired you can uncheck that option if want to be safe.

Apple Blue Tooth Mouse & Keyboard will not Wake Mac Pro while in Vista

I am running Vista Ultimate via Boot Camp OSX Leopard. I have a MAC Pro with apple blue tooth mouse and keyboard.
When the computer sleeps while in Vista, neither the mouse or keyboard will wake the computer. The only way to wake the computer while in Vista is to press the power button the MAC Pro.
After I wake the computer via the power button, the keyboard is unresponsive for about 2 minutes. Turning the power on and off on the keyboard does not speed up the process. The same thing happens intermittently when rebooting into Vista.
AppleCare says it's a Vista problem. Microsoft tech support says it's an Apple driver problem. Nice.
The keyboard and mouse do wake the computer when in Leopard.

Were you ever able to find a resolution to this issue? I am seeing the same perplexing grayed out box in device manager. In my case I'm using a MS Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and my machine is a Mini.
For anyone else who might happen upon this post, the exact click sequence is:
Device Manager -> Bluetooth Radios -> Apple Built-in Bluetooth -> Power Management

Can't connect blue tooth keyboard

Hey all...I've had my new iMac now for quite awhile with 0 problems. I have the blue tooth keyboard and mouse....recently, I can't connect the keyboard. I bought new batteries and still a no go...I press the power button on the keyboard and the green light comes on once for about 10 seconds before shutting off...in this brief period of time the computer recognizes the blue tooth keyboard, but I can't keep the keyboard on long enough for it to connect. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
So the keyboard powers down after just a short few seconds? Then I would call Apple and arrange for them to swap it out. There is not a lot users can do to fix a faulty keyboard or mouse.

Shift click on iPad with blue tooth keyboard doesn't select multiple images

HI
i have my iPad running iOS8 on Safari with a blue tooth keyboard In a WordPress slideshow website. The WP plugin does allow me to select multiple images on the computer but not on the iPad.
IS there a way to make this work?

No. There is not 'shift click' on an iOS device with our without a wireless keyboard.

Pairing apple blue tooth with 2 phones.

Pairing apple blue tooth with 2 phones? Can it be done? I have an older plantronics that works no prob. but i prefer my new apple one.

No. By Default, the BT will be active on the Pearl instead of the iPhone. you have to deactivate the Pearl in order to use with iPhone. I own the Cingular 8125 and if I activate BT with the 8125, it will deactivate the iPhone. I don't know why, but that's what it does. Best thing is to own two bluetooth earpieces. Like, say, the Jawbone and the Apple BT. Costly, but you'll have the two best earpieces ever made and can use each on all devices.

Why cant send imessage without hitting "send" using blue tooth keyboard?

its quite annoying when you type with a blue tooth keyboard sending imessage you have to hit the "send" button on the screen all the way across instead of hitting the "enter" key on the keyboard
is there any option we can choose from the system??

Sherry-
I do not think there is a way around it. But try pressing the Tab key several times until the Send button lights up. If that works, pressing Return on the keyboard should be equivalent to hitting the Send button on the screen.
If that does not work, try each of the function keys along the top of the keyboard, in case one of them has been pre-programmed to Send a message. You may have to hold down the fn key (bottom left).
You might look into using the "Assistive Touch" feature at Settings-General-Accessibility-Assistive Touch. I do not know what it does, but it mentions having difficulty touching the screen.

Safari still freezes when accessability voice over is on and blue tooth keyboard still doesnt work when accessability voice over is on, Help

Hi Apple,
iphone 5s latest updates , safari still freezes when accessability voice over is on and blue tooth keyboard still doesnt work when accessability voice over is on, Help

Hi,
If you are absolutely sure that neither the sound output of the Macbook nor the sound output of VoiceOver are muted then try to reset VoiceOver.
1. Open VoiceOver Preferences.
2. From the File menu choose "Reset All VoiceOver Preferences …".
3. Click "Reset.
4. Turn VoiceOver Off and On again. (hold command and press F5 twice).
If you still don't hear anything then it could be that the main sound output of the Macbook got muted somehow. I find that I often hit the mute button on my Apple wireless keyboard without noticing. So just make sure that its not muted and also hit the "Volume Up" a few times. Its so terribly obvious I know but its also very easy to miss. Lots of people do that.
