I can't install a bluetooth keyboard

I am trying to install a bluetooth keyboard using this guide (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth_keyboard) but after entering bluetoothctl -a and getting the [bluetooth]# command line I cannot type anything else with the laptop's builtin keyboard.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

I've followed the wiki guide and the keyboard is working!

    Can I use apple bluetooth keyboard with my samsung tv that does not have a built in bluetooth

    To my knowledge, no. A Bluetooth device will connect to something that has appropriate BT hardware.

  • Satellite A500 PSAM3A - Can I install a backlit keyboard?

    Hello,
    i have a Toshiba Satellite A500 laptop with the following numbers i can find: P7350 part number PSAM3A-04200E serial number- 79365650K.
    I would like to install a backlit keyboard onto it,
    Is this model compatible?"

    Hi
    Satellite A500 PSAM3A-04200E seems to belong to Toshiba Australian notebook series.
    In order to use a backlit keyboard, the motherboard needs to provide a special connector/port for keyboard illumination cable.
    You could get some details from a Toshiba ASP in Australia

    But I found some parts retailer and many of them provides keyboards W/O BACKLIGHT

  • How can I stop my bluetooth keyboard from crashing my macbook pro???

    I have a bluetooth keyboard I use at my desk. Often, I'll pack my macbook pro and use it away from home. When I bring it back, what often happens as soon as I hit a key or two on the bluetooth keyboard, causing it to wake up and re-establish its connection with the macbook, is the macbook immediately freezes up and crashes.
    When it does this, a gray tint will make its way across the screen, starting from the top and working downward. Before it reaches about halfway (how far it gets seems to vary) it will freeze completely and I am forced to do a hard reset.
    Is this a known issue? Is there a known fix? It's been happening for a while now.

    Well, Charles, since no one else is taking a stab ... have ya checked your prefs in System Preferences > Hardware > Bluetooth > Advanced? "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" is enabled? Must be, already; nevermind ...
    Have you taken a peek at the output from running Applications > Utilities > Console.app > > LOG DATABASE QUERIES > Console messages? And, the ever-popular > LOG FILES > `/Library/Logs > CrashReporter? For you to have the Descending Grey Wall of Death ... the DGWoD is really creepy ( I have seen it, on the hoof, twice!), especially if it is repeatable (check the definition of insanity, as you say this has been going on for a while). Check your Console and see what is happening, and please post back: this will be so fixable! Aloha and have a great weekend!

  • How can I reset my bluetooth keyboard?

    I would like to reset my bluetooth keyboard. Is there a button for that? Where do I find it?

    Swear to GAWD this will work to pair a wireless keyboard that is not working: HOLD DOWN THE BUTTON AT THE RIGHT FOR 6 ENTIRE SECONDS. This turns off the device. Then tap the button ONCE (don't hold down, just tap). The keyboard will turn on again and begin blinking. Then go to Bluetooth Setup Assistant. Your wireless keyboard will now show up. Follow the process for pairing.
    I tried everything else on the discussion boards, too; wasted 3 hours trying to pair with other devices to no avail; could not find a serial number (turns out they don't have one) to register it; tried the steel wool trick even...NOTHING.
    Anyway, hope this helps!

  • Can I use Apple bluetooth keyboard with my pc

    I have an Apple bluetooth keyboard.  Is it possible to use in with my PC running Windows 7.

    Yes, it works, but if you want to use a function keys, you must download some programs as this. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&sl=cs&tl=en&u=http:/ /uxsoft.cz/Projects/AWK

  • Can't get Apple bluetooth keyboard to pair with iPad mini.  It pairs okay with my Touch.

    Is there a problem with the new operating system on the iPad that keeps the Apple bluetooth keyboard from pairing?

    I have the same issue after todays upgrade.
    Solved by using third party bluetooth dongle
    Definitely a yosemite software issue.

  • Can I use a bluetooth keyboard on a non-bluetooth enabled (Old)Mac Pro?

    Sorry, this seems like something I could easily find an answer to, but I haven't found the answer on the forums or in google searches.
    My quad core Mac Pro is not Bluetooth enabled.  I'm assuming I can just use a USB Bluetooth dongle to talk to the keyboard.  I thought I would double check before I start spending money.  I do have a Belkin Bluetooth dongle already, but I've seen some talk about some talk about some other options from the Mac Store.  I'm just hoping to hear what has worked for others.
    Thanks!

  • I can not install the aluminium keyboard to my macbook

    I bought the aluminium keyboard to use with my macbook. When I first tried it, it worked fine without requiring me to do any special installation. But it never worked again. I tried to download the software or updates, as specified in the manual, but when I try to open it to run the installation, it keeps saying that I have a newer version and doesnt let me run it.
    When I plug it in a PC, it recognizes it as a new hardware, indicating that the USB is fine and that the problem is probably the macbook.
    Any suggestions on what to try next?
    how do I find the software that "I already have a newer version"?
    Is there a way that I can uninstall it and then install it again? would this help?

    I just added the HD Cinema display and the Aluminum Keyboard to my MacBook. System Update keeps on trying to update to Alum Keyboard Update 1.0, over and over, but it never stops asking me to update. What's going on, and how can I get this GroundHog Day torture to stop?
    I've tried plugging the keyboard into the monitor and the MacBook, but it won't fix the problem.

  • How can I install Microsoft bluetooth stack on Lenovo 3000 N200?

    Hi there,
    so far I have failed to get the Microsoft bluetooth driver working on my Lenovo 3000 N200 with Windows XP in order to easily sync my BlackBerry via bluetooth. The RIM software requires the Microsoft driver and does not work with the Lenovo driver.
    I have managed to deinstall the Lenovo driver. However, I do not know how to install the Microsoft driver.
    Could someone please help me?
    Have a nice weekend, everyone!

    When I used BT for the first time (pre XP SP2 era) I just installed the MS BT package that you can download. Later SP2 came out and it was included as part of it. You just plug a BT stick in and its installed...
    One out of two: or your XP is old or the bluetooth brand is non-standard...  In the past many BT, network, etc. hardware came with its of drivers and application, maybe you can find out your exact model and search for the application by any manufacturer that uses the same chip.... Should be Lenovo of course, but....

  • Ideapad A720 Windows 8 Pro can't install the bluetooth driver

    I upgraded to Windows 8 than went to the Lenovo site and down loaded a few of the drivers that it needs (primarily the NVIDIA video driver), however Windows 8 forced me to uninstall the Bluetooth driver before doing the upgrade. 
    Downloading the Bluetooth A720 Windows 8 driver from the support site doesn't seem to work.  You run the install, it unpacks than dies and does run.  trying to force the setup to run from the driver folder throws an error saying I am missing the blue tooth license.
    Any guess here?  everything else seems to be work on Windows 8 great, multi-touch 27" is gorgeous just opening bing.com is a cool experience.

    Hi,
    Have you tried these command to uninstall and reinstall the right key?
    slmgr.vbs /upk
    slmgr.vbs -ipk YOUR-ACTIVATION-KEY-HERE
    slmgr.vbs -ato
    As I known, during clean installation of Windows 8 pro, we need to enter the product key.
    What kind of Windows 8 pro did you try to install on your Windows 8 PC? Is this just a pro package? or full version?

  • HELP can't pair with bluetooth keyboard?!!!

    I have a G5 and OSX 10.4.11 and a wireless older bluetooth apple keyboard that wont pair!!
    I have rebooted and rescaned and its seen but when it gets to the passcode it just then prints up the numbers and hangs!!! saying that even thoiugh it was seen it "pairing was unsucessful"!
    I have rebooted and turned on the keyboard ! help!!!
    When i did get the screen to type the code in, the keyboard wouldnt respond!!!!!
    HELP!

    had same problem - Bluetooth Gone. I had unending pinwheel and had to force shut-down the laptop. After restart the Bluetooth was gone as was the ICON for Bluetooth on the System Preference and Utilities screens.
    I have read all of the solutions listed included resetting PROM (holding option + command + P + R down when you turn the unit on) BUT I just got off the phone with Apple and the following fixed this for me:
    1) Shut down laptop and bluetooth device (keyboard for me).
    2) Disconnect power and Remove battery (aluminum version you lift the tab on underside and remove panel - then (with tab still up) pull the battery out with plastic pull - make sure the tab on bottom has not gone closed as it locks the battery in place even with cover off)
    3) With no power and no battery - turn unit over and press the start button for at least 5 seconds)
    4) Replace battery and plug laptop power back in.
    5) Start laptop and bluetooth device.
    At this point my icon was back and the device paired immediately with the MacBook. The Support tech says it is not an OS issue (we did not discuss Snow Leopard in particular.)
    This procedure is called an SCM Reset and is good when you have hardware related failures like a missing (or false "hardware not found") issues like this missing Bluetooth Module issue.
