Logitech bluetooth keyboard stopped pairing w/ MacBookPro

My Logitech K760 bluetooth keyboard paired/worked great until roughly June 2014, but ever since then it won't fully pair. When I attempt to connect it seems successful until the end of the process when you're asked to enter a series of numbers to fully connect the keyboard. It either keeps spinning and never connects, or after a minute it times out and says the pairing attempt was unsuccessful.
I've had multiple tech support calls with Logitech and the best they can tell me is that there must have been a "program update" on Apple's end that changed the keyboard's ability to connect. I CAN connect just fine to my iphone 5 and my ipad, so I know the keyboard is fully operational.
My MBP is mid-2009 running on OS X 10.6.8 (I'd previously upgraded to Mountain Lion and my hard drive failed. When serviced by Genius Bar I was told not to upgrade past Snow Leopard on my replacement hard drive since it wouldn't be able to handle a higher OS, and the upgrade is actually what caused my hard drive failure).
Any suggestions or idea would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I got the same issue with my son's imac today. Tried everything as you have, inc pairing with my macbook. It recognised the keyboard as an other device but would not pair

Bluetooth keyboard stops working

My bluetooth keyboard stops working while I use Photoshop CS4. It happened 4 days ago. I called applecare and they asked that I take the keyboard into a dealer. Keypad worked at the dealer. Brought it home and it worked.
When I pair the keyboard to bluetooth the keyboard functions, but in all other applications it doesn't. I think it must be the computer an not the keyboard.

It's been a while but I am sure the issue lies with the bluetooth now. I did the SMC reset and the same issue only happened once since. This time I plugged in my logitech USB wireless mouse and it worked fine. I tried to disconnect my Apple bluetooth mouse and couldn't get it to connect again. I restarted the machine by clicking Apple->shut down->restart and when the computer restarted, neither the keyboard nor the mouse worked. I again used the Logitech wireless mouse to try to see my bluetooth setting. However I get the message of "bluetooth not available". I'm guessing my bluetooth unit in this new iMac isn't functioning properly. Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks

My apple bluetooth keyboard is paired with laptop but will not connect. mouse is working fine.

apple bluetooth keyboard is paired but not connecting to laptop. mouse works fine.

i am finding it depends greatly on the batteries you put in
I work for a company that produces batteries...ours work, other brands sometimes do not. if they are manufactured just a hair out of spec, they wont connect consistently...
they must wobble cuasing flucuations
same with the mouse...if you use a bit of blue tack, it holds the batteries in, problems solved
the keyboard is a little different and I cant figure out a macguiver fix

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.

FN -Function- key not working between my Logitech Bluetooth keyboard and my ipad2; any suggestions?

My new Bluetooth keyboard -Logitech- features a Function FN key that's not working, even though the rest of the letter, #s and signs are. Thank you for looking into it!

Here we go again! The return key on my iPad stopped working again.
I don't think I posted more information here but on the Logitech site. Basically, rather than go through all the steps of resetting the iPad, I used canned air to blow out under the return key. I had to lift the key a bit with a pen knife to get better air flow. I think I've done this twice.
Well, this morning the return key stopped working as well as the |\ key. I sprayed and sprayed with no success. This time I had no system upgrade: just one day working and the next not.
This time I tried another trick that will be cumbersome. I used the wireless keyboard from my wife's iMac. The bad news is that the pairing wouldn't hold. I finally figured out that the Apple wireless keyboard was still listed on the iMac. Once I unpaired the keyboard from the iMac I was able to pair it with my iPad.
The return key and the |\ key work fine.
It's going to be awkward carrying around the Apple wireless keyboard, but it does fit over the Logitech keyboard. And I'll have to remember to carry extra AA batteries:(

TS1569 Dual bluetooth keyboard : no pairing

Hi,
I have two aluminum bluetooth keyboards (different layouts).
After restarting my computer one of them stopped working.
After "forgetting" it I can't even pair with it again. I have tried turing it off and on again.
Thanks in advance,

Troubleshooting your keyboard
If you are unable to see your keyboard when you attempt to pair it with Apple TV, check that your keyboard is:
Powered on and in range of your Apple TV
Set for discovery or pairing
A blinking LED indicates that the Apple Wireless Keyboard is in the discoverable mode. If you don't pair your keyboard with your Mac within three minutes, the indicator light and keyboard will turn off to preserve battery life. If this happens, press the On/Off switch to turn your keyboard on again.
When using third-party devices, check with the keyboard manufacturer for additional information.
Not paired or connected to another device
If your keyboard responds intermittently or cannot maintain a connection:
Ensure that the keyboard has sufficient charge or fresh batteries
Check for nearby sources of interference, including other wireless devices, Bluetooth transmitters, and so on
Try unpairing and then repairing your keyboard with Apple TV
Best of luck,

Bluetooth keyboard loosing pairing on logoff/shutdown

We have a computer in a conferance room with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse attached. After turning off the HD protection we were able to keep the mouse pairing after a reboot and keep them paired after turning back on the HD protection but still unable to keep the keyboard paired.
We are able to re-pair the keyboard each time by going through the discovery process but the room is used by various users that don't always know the correct process and this can happen after hours when on IT support on on-site.
Again, if the HD protection is turned off or even set to allow the changes to be saved, the keyboard will pair automatically at boot and function correctly. The computer is a Dell as well as the mouse and keyboard. Any troubleshooting would be helpful as we are required to keep the device locked down.

Hi Mike,
Thank you for posting here!
How about the following process?
1. Configure Windows Disk Protection (WDP) to “Retain all changes permanently”
2. Configure the Bluetooth devices.
3. Restart the computer to save changes.
4. Restore WDP to “Remove all changes at restart”
5. Restart the computer to test.
If this issue persists, there may be conflicts between the device and WDP driver.
What about "Retain changes temporarily" mode? It will cache the changes temporarily until the time you specified. We can configure it to another day or next week to test.
Hope the above information helps.
Best Regards,

Bluetooth keyboard stops working when i plug in my iphone 5

Hi All...
Heres a question from the twilight zone where strange things happen.
My Hardware/Software used:
- iMac OSX 10.9.2
- Mac wireless Keyboard
- Logitech mouse performance MX
- iTunes 11.1.5 (5)
- iPhone 5 v7.1 (11D167)
I plug in my iPhone via USB cable, and iTunes pops up.. it detects the iphone but not 100% as it just hangs... then out of nowhere, the keyboard stops working as it looses its connection, the only way to restore the connection is to reset the iMac.
Any ideas?

Assuming a PC try:
iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues

Apple Bluetooth keyboard unsuccessful pairing in Windows 8.1 using Bootcamp 5.1

This is in regards to a MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.4 15" Late 2011. The keyboard is an Apple Bluetooth keyboard.
When I start windows, then open bluetooth devices, then hold down the power button on the keyboard, then click the "Pair" button, suddenly it tells me that the pairing was unsuccessful. I don't ever get to the part where I enter in the numbers into the keyboard, as I know that is the next step.
I have tried going into the device manager and enabling the bluetooth collaboration in the broadcom 802.11 device in the network devices but that doesn't solve my issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

all the windows in the non-primary monitor moves to the primary monitor
For me this only happens when I switch accounts. Does Hibernation work?
Another weird thing that happens then is how I can restore my IE windows. I always use IE Fullscreen when I'm working, so usually after the problem occurs I will find an IE window on my Tablet still in Fullscreen mode. Then, instead of just flipping
it back with Win-Shift-CursorLeft, what I have found works better is to just press F11. Doing that inexplicably restores the IE window on the secondary monitor but no longer in Fullscreen mode. Then pressing F11 again, restores it to Fullscreen
mode still on the secondary. If I try to flip it over normally the recovery procedure is less elegant but I guess equivalent. Fortunately, I usually only have IE windows on that other monitor, so there's not that much inconvenience for me when
it happens--just the slight irritation of the quirkiness.
Actually I just realized there could be another workaround. What happens if you try to use the Win-P function as soon as possible to ensure that the Extend display state is in effect? I think the reason this happens is that both monitors are
not being sensed soon enough, so this could be a way of avoiding that problem. TBD.
Also, I'll try to remember to try Hibernation myself and see what difference it makes. TBD.

Apple Bluetooth Keyboard stopped working letters Q thru I.

My Apple Bluetooth Keyboard has stopped working on letters Q thru I. Any suggestions. Is it worth repair, or just buy new?

Sorry....I assumed that the KB was attached to a Mac
If you are near an Apple Store, you might take it in for testing.
From what you describe, I suspect the KB has failed.

Bluetooth has stopped pairing

Hi all, my 2gen Touch has stopped pairing with my Motorokr S9-HD headphones. The bluetooth control panel says it's connected but when I play music the sound comes out of the internal speaker, and the headphones light is red indicating that it is not connected. I've tried telling the iPod to forget the device, and then added it back, that didn't work. Then I turned Bluetooth off now when I call it up all I get it the word Bluetooth with the chasing dominos forever with it not giving me the on/off toggle. Could this be an iOS 4.0.2 problem. Would doing a reset take me back to the original OS? I really love folders but can live without them if this is going to be an ongoing issue from Apple. These headphones cost $150. and don't want to chuck them in the bin.
Thanks for any help or commiseration.
John

Even I have the same headphones as yours and it works perfectly fine with my iPhone.
Resetting just resets the settings......it doesn't remove your files or any other things. It's completely safe! Just to assure you, you already have the back up of your files on your iTunes in the computer which you sync your iPod to.
Try doing this:
1) Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings
2) Give it some time and your iPod will restart again.
3) Switch off your headset power.
4) Now when the iPod is all restarted, go to Settings > General > Bluetooth
5) Wait for 1 minute or so and then switch on your headset. The blue light flashes on your headset I guess, right?
6) The iPod should show the headset's name…..tap on it. Now the headset should show the green light and the iPod should be connected.

Apple Bluetooth Keyboard Not Pairing

Hello,
My sister in law's bluetooth apple keyboard is not working. Last night it kept loosing its signal. This morning it stopped working. She has reset it and put new batteries in. It sees the keyboard and the mouse is working, but it gives the following error.
"the pairing attempt was unsuccessful. make sure your keyboard is in range of the computer turned on and discoverable. when ready click continue to try again"
I am in a different state so I can see exactly whats going on. She's had this computer for a couple of years and unfortunately doesn't have apple care. I assume that she has the firmware update, but we cannot get it installed to make sure she has it because its requiring a password and doesn't have another keyboard.
Can you help?

Hi,
I have the same problem. Did you ever fix it?

Apple Bluetooth keyboard not pairing under Bootcamp/Windows7

My Apple keyboard that came with MacPro1.1 does not pair when using it with BootCamp and Windows 7. I installed bootcamp and Windows7 today. My machine is running OSX 10.6.8 and Bluetooth software version 2.4.5f3. The Apple mouse pairs under Windows but the keyboard doesn't. I have searched through forums and learned that I need to do the following:
a- Change Bluetooth drivers under Windows to Apple drivers,
b- First rename then remove both mouse and keyboard under OSX,
c- Add both mouse and keyboard under Windows 7.
d- Add both mouse and keyboard under OSX.
During step c above, the mouse pairs without ant problem but the keyboard does not. The keyboard is discovered but does not ask for a code to pair as it does under OSX. I do not have Apple keyboardand Mouse firmware upgrade CD (why would Apple not provide it as a download?).
Any ideas?

Function keys are not working on a paired apple bluetooth keyboard

hello, I just got this apple bluetooth keyboard and paired it to my ipad2. The letter and number keys are working perfectly fine, but my ipad will not respond to F1 to F12 keys,I tried Fn+F1-F12 they are not working. Then I tried to restart both my ipad and keyboard but the problem is still there. Additionally, Command+arrows can't function either. command+space is working though. Could some one please help? thanks a lot!

It might have been functionality that Apple has removed in the current version of iOS. This old web article says the function keys worked in iOS3, but that's a couple of years ago:
