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

    You may have to enter device code like 000 in phone so it can pair up.
    Try checking the box you mentioned
    Check the manual for your Bluetooth device it will tell you the code Read all of it!!!!!
    Try turning on Bluetooth just as phone is put in search mood.

  • 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.

  • My airport extreme (new-5th gen) connects to my iMac - and a PC laptop but will not connect to the internet, my ISP says that I have entered the correct modem ID and that I contact Apple supt as they do not support airport extreme...??

    Any suggestions getting my modem (Speedstream 5200) talking to my new airport extreme? Airport Extreme says I do not have the correct user password for the modem but my IP provider says that I do and that they (Bell Sympatico) do not - in any case - support Airport Extreme and that I should talk to Apple Support...who do not come to the phone. So my computers see my new network and my Airport Extreme sees my computers but it cannot access the modem and therefore the internet. Any ideas?

    The user manual for the Speedstream 5200 indicatest that it is a router....see link below.
    http://www2.windstream.net/downloads/links/SpeedStream211.pdf
    If the Speedstream is acting as a router, then the AirPort Extreme must be configured in Bridge Mode to avoid having two routers in series on your network....which would certainly cause IP address conflicts and connection issues.
    To configure the AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode.....
    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Update

  • I'm can't connect my apple bluetooth keyboard to my pc laptop

    I'm trying to connect my apple bluetooth keyboard to my pc laptop, but it fails saying "unknown error ...error code 0x80070015". It the says to contact the device manufactorer for assistance... any ideas out there?

    No. It came with my iMac when I bought it 1.5 years ago, but I had also bought the regular wired keyboard for the number keys. I just bought a PC laptop and am trying to match the Apple wireless keyboard with it. (The small size is perfect for the space I have available.) I did change the batteries, but I did notice that the green light showing it is on only stays on for about 15 seconds. Another thing is that most of the time my PC doesn't see it. I have managed to sinc the laptop with the iMac, so at least it doesn't seem to be an anti-Apple issue.

  • Cannot pair iPhone4 (iOS 7.1) with Macbook air (iOS 10 yosemite); they do see each other but will not connect via bluetooth

    cannot pair iPhone4 (iOS 7.1) with Macbook air (iOS 10 yosemite); they do see each other but will not connect via bluetooth

    That is because they do not generally pair. What is it that you are trying to do by connecting them via Bluetooth? If you are referring to AirDrop or continuity, then all you need to do is have Bluetooth turned on, they do not pair.

  • My iphone will not recognize any usb cables. I have tried 3 official apple ones and 2 different plugs. Ive tried plugging it into my laptop but will not find the phone. it has had problems since i updated my ios. Battery has been replaced.

    test if it charges with an ac charger
    test if it's detected by another computer
    if it's no to both then likely the connector is broken
    if it's yes to both thne it's likely your computers itunes install which is the problem

    If you can get them paired again try making them "favorites" from the Bluetooth system preferences.
    Try smc and pram reset too.  May gave to do this before you can get them paired.

  • My laptop compaq presario will not connect to the Internet anymore after buying airport extreme. Why? It detects the network, accepts my password, but will not connect to Internet.

    My laptop compaq presario will not connect to the Internet anymore after buying airport extreme. Why? It detects the network, accepts my password, but will not connect to Internet. I tried to repair connection, tried to reboot modem several times, I even updated my computer. Nothing. All it says is that it does not detect modem. Why?

    Welcome to the support community group.
    First, are you sure that your AirPort Extreme has been configured correctly and is properly connected to your modem?
    Begin by telling us how you have things connected and if the Airport Extreme is replacing a previously owned router or is this an entirely new installation?
    First be sure that your modem is working and properly connects you to the internet using an ethernet cable directly connected to your laptop.  Once you're sure that's working, reset the AirPort to factory defaults by disconnecting it from power and pressing and holding in the small reset button on the back  for 15 - 20 seconds while you reconnect it to power.  Then turn everything off for 5 minutes. Connect the Airport to your modem with and ethernet cable to the Airport WAN port on the back (check the user guide to make sure you connect the cable to the correct port) then connect a second ethernet cable between the laptop and one of the LAN ports on the AirPort Extreme.
    Then power up the modem first, wait 5 minutes and then power up the Airport, wait 5 minutes and finally power up your laptop.
    Then run the airport configuration utility from your laptop.  Since you're not using an Apple computer, be sure that all of your firewall, and virus blocking and checking software is disabled before you run the airport configuration utility.  Once you run the utility, it should detect your AirPort and allow you to use the configuration wizard to set things up.
    Check back if you're still having problems.

  • Apple TV will stream music but will not connect to iTunes library to stream movies or podcasts.  During the unsuccessful connection process, iTunes becomes unresponsive and must be forced to quit.

    Apple TV 3 will stream music via Home Sharing from iTunes on Mac running 10.6.8 but will not connect to iTunes library to stream movies or podcasts.  When trying to connect, iTunes becomes unresponsive and must be forced to quit.  ATV will stream movies purchased through the ATV but not those purchased through or ripped/copied onto the Mac.  I've tried fixes suggested for similar problems (rebooting ATV and Mac, signing out then back into iTunes Store) to no success.  Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    This is the most bogus example of Apple rip-off EVER.  They do not advertise this *feature* and yet expect people to invest in an Apple ECOSYSTEM?  My experience with Apple TV using a central media "server" (a dedicated Mac Mini) has been atrocious.  I continually get "Cannot connect..." messages and with typical Apple "it just works" mentality, there is no reason stated.  I HATE APPLE TV and I HATE APPLE.  Peddle your crapple somewhere else.

  • My Apple TV recognises my wifi network but will not connect to it, when I enter the password

    Help please - my Apple TV recognises my wifi network but will not connect to it, when I enter the password - it just says 'there was a problem connecting to the network - check your settings and try again (5).' What should I do next?

    people repport that apple products in general I believe have problems with support for the outdated encryption type called wep encryption which is also pretty useless and easy to break
    if you use that try disabling it or changing to wpa encryption
    if you use MAC address filtering in your router then you need to add the appletv's MAC address to the positive list

  • 2nd Gen Ipod will sync with itunes but will not download new song

    My Ipod will sync with itunes but will not download newly purchased songs.  It is Ipod nano 2nd gen.

    If you want to use automatic syncing, you may need to set up or update the iPod's Music sync settings in iTunes.  If the new songs are not included in what gets synced to the iPod, they will not sync.
    If the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  Select it there, to show its Summary screen to the right.  Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music, if not already checked. This is the "switch" to enable automatic syncing for songs.
    NOTE:  If Sync Music is not already checked, that means the iPod is currently set to Manually manage music.  Setting up automatic syncing will replace the iPod existing content.  If you want to add the new songs manually to the iPod (instead of using automatic syncing), please post back.
    If your iTunes library fits on the iPod, you can choose the option to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Below that, select (checkmark) what you want to sync to the iPod from the lists.
    One convenient way to set this up is to first create one or more playlists in your iTunes library, with ALL of the songs you want on the iPod.  Or you can use existing playlists.  Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select those playlists under Playlists.
    When you click Apply, iTunes syncs the songs in your selection(s) to the iPod (replacing its existing content).  Going forward, to update the iPod, you can just update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs).  If you have new songs, add them to a playlist that is synced to the iPod.  The iPod does not need to be connected.  The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates your iPod with the same changes.

  • Can't connect my new iPhone 4 with internet via Time Capsule. IP4 recognized TC but will not connect with it. (Password etc. is ok)

    Can't connect my new iPhone 4 with internet via Time Capsule. IP4 recognized TC but will not connect with it. (Password etc. is ok)

    Do the usual wireless things.
    Change the wireless name to simple name with only alphanumerics and no spaces.
    Set to manual and use channels 1, 6, 11 in turn.
    For testing take off the security altogether.
    The iphone only works on 2.4ghz so only that band is relevant.
