Imac wireless keyboard pairing

Hi all,
I hope this is the right section because I could not find one for the keyboard but I bought a wireless keyboard for my macbook pro so I could hook it up to my LG tv and sit far back but the first time when using Lion it found my keyboard and then had a list of numbers to type in from the keyboard to pair it and all was well but ever since I upgraded to mountain lion I have been un able to pair the device it detects the keyboard but it refuses to pair it and no numbers come up on the screen and says to make sure it son and batterieson correctly..etc I made sure it is all in correctly I put a fresh set of batteries and when I turn it on the green lights comes on for a few seconds then turns off and does not blink or anything..
I dont know what else I can try to get the keyboard to pair with my macbook pro 13" of mid 2010 I made sure the little bit on the end is properly attached as it does detect the keyboard and the batteries are in correctly I cant think for the life of me why it wont work :/

Sorry, hit post too soon. Apple TV is latest model, bought in early 2014.

How to change the battery in the imac wireless keyboard

how to change the battery in the imac wireless keyboard?

FYI, there is no "iMac" wireless keyboard.
If you have an Apple Bluetooth KB, simply remove the plug (screws out) on the left top side of the KB.

Apple TV dominates wireless keyboard pairing over iMac

I have Apple TV and an iMac in the same room. Even when the Apple TV is off, and I switch the iMac on intending to use the keyboard to enter password, etc. sometimes the Apple TV switches itself on, and the keyboard is paired with it and is therefore not discoverable by the iMac for password entry. This happens intermittently and I cannot find either a solution by searching online, nor through looking at settings on the iMac or Apple TV.
It is a wireless keyboard from ~2011 without keypad extension. iMac is same vintage, and Apple TV is
Can anyone please help?

IPad 2 can't pair with iMac wireless Keyboard (late 2009)

ipad 2 will not pair with wireless keyboard that came with iMac late 2009.
I've read countless ways to do this in support forums, but no matter what I do, I can not get the ipad 2 to work with my wireless keyboard.
In settings>bluetooth, I UNCHECKED discoverable for the keyboard, as I've read many times.
I then clicked the minus button and a box came up ( I can not recall what it said but it basically asked if I wanted to ?remove? the device, and I clicked OK.
Then, I went to the iPad 2, into bluetooth, and went to pair it. The keyboard was discoverable, and then something with a code came up on the iPad screen, and I clicked OK.
NOTHING happened, even though it said it was connected.
I looked at my iMac screen, and there was something there with a code that had to be typed in? This is where I get confused. I disconnected the keyboard, yet I got a box on the iMac screen, asking me to put the code in to pair it with the ipad 2 ! I figured it must be a mistake, because I disconnected the keyboard from the imac.
well, I tried to key in the code and it worked on the IMAC...which, technically, it should not have been able to do.
I've watched countless Youtube videos, read through the support forums here and...I can't find anyone with this same problem and so, I toss it out to you all in Apple Support.
What could I be doing wrong??
Thanks.

Spoke with an Apple Care Tech today on this issue:
Apparently, this is how it works : First, you have to go to BLUE TOOTH and when you see your keyboard, delete it or remove it, and then shut down the computer.
Then, you must go to your iPAD. (initially, your blue tooth on iPAD should be TURNED OFF- now, turn it ON.
Press and hold the button on the right side of your keyboard for 5 seconds, and watch for it to blink then go off.
Next, push the button on the side of the keyboard again, it will go on.
On your ipad, under Blue Tooth, you will see some numbers and it might say NOT CONNECTED. Click that.
Be patient and then under that, something like YOUR NAME KEYBOARD will appear. Click it and it will give you a code to type in. Type it in. Be patient. Might not take the first time. Do it again. When the code comes up again, type it in again.
This worked for me as suddenly the keyboard was paired with the iPAD 2.
When you want to unpair it, turn blue tooth on the ipad OFF. Turn your computer back on. Initially your screen will come up to sign in (if you have it set up that way). In a few seconds, you will see that your keyboard has reconnected to your Mac. Sign in and that's that:)

TS1569 Wireless Keyboard Pairing Problems

I have an iMac mid 2007. Everything was working fine until today. I replaced the batteries in my wireless keyboard. When I turned on my computer it wouldn't recognize the keyboard and I am having difficulty pairing it again. The green light turns on for a few seconds and goes off. The caps lock light works and everything, but it won't pair. Please help.

Hello;
It is not helpful to you, but resetting the SMC frequently fixes similar problems.
If you have a wired KB, try resetting the PRAM.
If you do not, try trashing a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restarting.
I think it is unlikely, but I suppose the KB decided to fail at the same time you replaced the batteries.
If you happen to be near an Apple store, take it in and see if it will pair with their equipment.

Wireless keyboard pairing lost in Snow Leopard

I recently upgraded my software to snow leopard and now I can't pair my wireless keyboard with my imac. it says this device hasn't got the necessary services. Has anyone found out how to repair devices after getting this dialogue box come up? Thanks!!!

Just a thought: Adding your problem, which is different from the original posters' (he's using an Apple Keyboard and probably had OS issues), to a thread that has been dead for a couple of months is not the best way to get help.
I'd start a new thread that mentions your keyboard brand in the title, and a complete description of how you installed SL and what you have done (as far as permissions repairs, update reinstallations, keyboard vendor support statements) to solve your issue already.
Who knows, others that are using the same keyboard may recognize the problem and may know a solution from the thread title, plus you will have people working on your problem, not the original posters' (he never posted back, so I assume he fixed his problem).

Apple Aluminum Wireless Keyboard Pairs, but letter/number keys don't work

I just got the new Wireless keyboard and I paired it, and the Function keys work fine, and when I was pairing, the number keys worked as well(to type in pairing code). But when I try to type in any search box or type anywhere, it won't. even the numbers won't work. the Tab and Delete keys work though. Along with the function keys.
The funny thing about this is that the number keys worked when i was pairing, but not now. Also when I start up my Mac and have to type the password in, the letter keys worked. But once on the desktop its a no go.
Please help.

24 hours later, the initial fix resetting the Universal Access settings as discussed above, the keyboard proved to be so flaky, that I took it back to Apple and exchanged it for a new one. The weakness seems to be in the bluetooth communication perhaps, with the keyboard accepting the new settings and then forgetting them somehow. So if you are a user reading this thread and you aren't getting any joy from the solution above, the solution is to take/send the keyboard back to Apple for a new one. The one I have now works just fine. It paired up much more quickly and it is typing this note without any issues. So far. I also picked up a wired keyboard in case I have to throw this one against the wall if it starts screwing up like the other one. Either way, I am covered.

Wireless keyboard won't pair w iMac

Will an Apple wireless keyboard pair with an iPad2?

Is an Apple wireless keyboard designed to pair with an iPad 2? The instruction book refers to a Mac computer but never to an iPad. I keep getting the "Pairing Unsuccessful" message after I type in the 4 digit code that the iPad tells me to enter on the keyboard. The keyboard gives me the flashing light saying it's ready to pair, but doesn't make the hook-up. The keyboard is just a foot from the iPad. Any suggestions?

This might help.
Note the following:
The original Apple Wireless Keyboard, introduced in 2003, is not compatible:
Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003): Features a white case and uses four AA batteries.
In addition, many third-party Bluetooth keyboards that use the Apple keyboard layout are also compatible. Check with the keyboard manufacturer for additional information.

Apple Wireless Keyboard pairing delay

Hi. I have a first generation Mac Mini with a D-Link DBT-120 (http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=0&pid=34) Bluetooth adapter and an Apple Wireless Keyboard. When I turn on the computer and I'm going to type my password, it take like 3-4 minutes for the computer to recognize the keyboard (I turn on the keyboard in the moment I turn on the computer). After that, the keyboard works perfectly. I would like to know if there's any way to make the pairing of the computer and the keyboard faster. I know it's probably just a detail but it's a bit annoying.
Thanks.
Santiago.

I have a keyboard that I had previously (successfully) paired with my iPad 2. I haven't used them together in a long time.
I have been trying to pair the last 1-2 days and have had no luck. Most of the time the iPad doesn't detect the keyboard from the Bluetooth Settings. Occasionally it will detect, but when I click it to pair it will take awhile and then simply alert "Pairing Unsuccessfull".
The light on the keyboard indicates to me that it's paired (3 seconds of green and then off - as opposed to the flashing which indicates it's unpaired). I put in fresh batteries. I know it's working because I can turn on Caps Lock.
Any ideas? Any way to reset the keyboard so as to start more from scratch? I don't have a PIN in my Apple keyboard manual. If I recall correctly, last time the iPad asked me to enter a confirmation code on the keyboard and hit enter.
I'll have to check out the pair of links (Using and Troubleshooting) but I think I've tried everything I found in them.
My computer died and now I'm waiting for my new Macbook Pro. Need my keyboard paired with my iPad to stem the tide!
