I can't seem to pair my new apple wireless keyboard to my iphone 3gs despite following the instructions in the manual. My keyboard is a new model so it should be compatible.I have read several discussion pieces but no real answers. thanks Frank

this is a question?

Hello Mik:
You cannot register a KB.  Apple does not keep a database of peripheral devices.
I would question the store about the unwrapped batteries....  I would suspect that the device was returned by someone else.

    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

  • 1st generation MacBook not pairing/connecting with Apple Wireless Keyboard

    I just purchased an Apple Wireless Keyboard to use with my iPhone and my 1st generation MacBook.
    I managed to pair/connect my keyboard with iPhone on my first try.
    So far, however, I have not been able to pair or connect my keyboard with my MacBook.
    Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
    Thanks.

    Hi Stefan,
    Thanks for your help. Indeed, I followed the instructions for pairing and connecting the keyboard last night. I shut down my computer last night with the idea that a restart this morning might be helpful. Per your message, I attempted to follow the instructions again a moment ago, with no success.
    Bluetooth on my MacBook and on my keyboard are both on. My MacBook is discoverable. Any thoughts about what the glitch might be?
    Thanks again!

    Your Volvo system might need a firmware update contact Volvo
    There is a lot of information and, unfortunately, misinformation as well in this long thread.

  • How do I pair my new Mac mini (mid 2011) and white Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003)?

    I just bought a new Mac mini (mid 2011) and can not set it up via my Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003). I'm disheartened but not surprised that my Bluetooth 4.0 Mac isn't backwards-compatible with my Bluetooth 1.0 keyboard. But I can't find any documentation confirming the fact that my non-paired, but tested & perfectly functioning keyboard will not work with current Macs.
    I was however, able to locate a tech support doc (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4112) that mentions my Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003) is not compatible with iOS devices. (Which is not critical because iOS provides a non-physical keyboard. Aside, it would be lovely were Apple to add a non-physical keyboard to Mac OS X, if only so new desktop owners can continue to set up their Macs in a pinch.)

    I just bought a new mini mac (lion 2011) with a wireless keyboard.  I could not get the mac to recognise the keyboard.  Spent several hours back with the Genius team who replaced keyboard and mac but did not get anywhere.  They gave me a wired keyboard, was able to configure the mac and then it recognised the wireless keyboard.
    Seems this is a problem with the new mac/OS

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard under Windows 7 pairing but not responding

    Hi all,
    I'm having a strange issue getting my Apple Wireless Keyboard to run on my new HTPC under Windows 7 (64 bit). I can get Windows' bluetooth manager to detect the keyboard, and I can input the pairing code, following which Windows seems to install a bunch of drivers, but then I get no response from the keyboard at all.
    The thing I find strange is that the keyboard works when I punch in the code numbers, but never before or after.
    I also have a Magic Mouse which works perfectly.
    Once paired and installed, the keyboard is displayed in Windows' driver manager as a "Bluetooth Peripheral Device", so I'm wondering if the issue is that Windows isn't recognising the device as a keyboard.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks heaps, in advance.

    After 3 frustrating hours of trying every tip on the net, I found the answer: Try this.
    "This finally fixed it for me: Device Manager - Open System Devices, you will find a Bluetooth HID Device. Double Click it, open Driver tab and click "Update Driver" Select Browse my Computer, then "Let me Pick". It should now show TWO compatible drivers with exactly the same name. One of them is the Microsoft one, one is the non-working Chinese ****. Install one of them and see if the driver properties changed to the right (Microsoft) driver. If not, try again with the other one. For me, the Microsoft driver was the first one in the list, but this may be different for you. Wow, an annoying and intense hour of trouble shooting finally over..."

    The issue is related to the Chinese version of the driver that the latest windows update applies that stops the keyboard from working.
    I'm typing this on the Apple Wireless Keyboard on Windows 7 64 bit on my PC. Finallly!

  • Have iPad Air and Apple Wireless Keyboard.  Can I access emoji from the wireless keyboard?

    RE: iPad Air and Apple Wireless Keyboard
       HI,  I have an iPad Air paired with an Apple Wireless Keyboard.  Can I access emoji from the wireless keyboard?
    Thanks for any help on this subject!

    Eureka!   I kept searching and found the solution.   So, if anyone wants to know here is the solution:  press fn and the up arrow on F Keys (top) row (it's the one all way to the right.  The iPad keyboard will then pop up on the iPad and from there you can access the emoji keyboard.

  • After downloading i-clouds I keep receiving a no service message and could not activate iphone. it says the iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. i have read several threads with the same but no solution

    after downloading i-clouds I keep receiving a no service message and phone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.
    I have read several questions on this but dont see a solution.

    Activation requires a SIM, assuming the SIM is functional it should simply activate.
    The vast majority of activation issues are the result of devices that have been hacked or jailbroken.  If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

  • I have made several photo books but this time when I press "buy book" it tells me that it stopped processing.  My book is longer than others 72 pages.  Can you help me?

    I have made several photo books but this time when i press "buy book" it stops processing.  My book is 72 pgs.  Is this too long?  I have never had this problem.  Can you help?

    No, 72 pages isn't too long.  See if you can crate a pdf file of the book by Control-clicking just outside the book and selecting Save Book as PDF from the menu options.
    Click to view full size
    That will tell us if the problem lies in creating a pdf version or something else.

  • HT4623 I can't seem to get my keypad shortcuts to work on my iphone 4 after the ios6 update.  Anyone have a fix for this??  Apple???

    I can't seem to get my keypad shortcuts to work on my iphone 4 after the IOS 6 update.  Anyone have a resolution for this???  Apple???

    Unless Verizon has a special provision in this regard that ATT has never had, Apple handles all iPhone repairs and exchanges under Apple's warranty.
    There is a setting when capturing photos - Automatic, On, or Off for the flash when capturing photos.
    If there is no flash when set to On or Automatic in a dark setting and no change after the standard troubleshooting steps which in order are:
    Power your iPhone off and on.
    An iPhone reset.
    Restoring your iPhone with iTunes from the backup.
    Restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
    Your iPhone has a hardware problem. You can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

  • Hi i have a problem with my iphone 3gs. i updated the software to ios 6 but now when trying to activate the phone it comes up with a message saying that the activation server is currently unavailable, also it always says no sim! what can i do?

    i have an activation problem with my iphone 3gs. i updated the software to io6 using itunes but now the phone will not complete activation because it keeps saydin the activation server is not available and to re try later. ive been trying for 6 hours but it still wont activate. if i try using itunes then it sayd no sim inserted when there is one inserted, what can i do?

    You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
    and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

  • HT1923 I have windows 8.01 OS. pushed the itunes update and now I can't access itunes at all. Error 7 error 127. Have tried repairing. Uninstalling and reinstal. Nothing is working. And worst is I can't seem to contact anyone at apple to get help

    My OS is windows 8.1. Today when going onto itunes it asked me to update to 11.something so I dd. Now I can't access itunes at all. Keep getting an error message. error 127. I've tried repairing. Uninstalling and re installing. Can't seem to contact anyone at apple to get support - just keep going around and arond on their contact page.

    Log in to the Developer forum. You will find instructions on how to install the lastest beta. Your problem is the beta you have installed has expired. All of them did on October 5; you will find hundreds of threads discussing this. If you have a beta it is assumed that you will continue as a beta tester, so a simple update using iTunes will not work.
    If you no longer want to be a beta tester install the GM 7.0.2 by restoring from iTunes using DFU mode.
