My Apple bluetooth keyboard will not connect to my Macbook (it was connected before)

Hi
My Bluetooth keyboard (model A1314) was connected to my Macbook.  I was away on a trip and now it will not connect.  A message comes up saying "error connecting to device".  I have tried everything that I can think of - replaced the batteries, removed the keyboard from the Bluetooth list.
I would be grateful for some advice please!
Thanks!

Try resetting the SMC.

  • My Apple bluetooth keyboard will not reconnect with my MacBook Pro...

    It's been working flawlessly until this morning...I tried everything.  It's still listed under devices but keeps giving an error message for connecting. New batteries and all.  I rebooted my comp and also tried the erasing of keyboard in the previous BT devices list.  I've been battling with this for over 3 hours now, any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Try resetting the SMC.

  • My apple bluetooth keyboard is not paired by my Apple TV 1st generation. Is it a bug of new sw version?

    my apple bluetooth keyboard is not paired by my Apple TV 1st generation. Is it a bug of new sw version? My apple keyboard is a qwerty keyboard that is normally function with other apple devices (iphone5, iPad, etc.)

    Thanks for your description of the procedure. I selected the device by scrolling down and then pressing Enter. Then, I received the passcode on the screen, that I entered by the keyboard and the pairing was completed. the search for a new device continued, and I had to stop the search. May be you have to proceed to a complete reset of the Apple TV. Hope it works.

  • Adobe CS4 will not install on new macbook pro [was: pro]

    Adobe CS4 will not install on new macbook pro. It is coming from my other macbook.

    Install normally means running setup from the orginal discs or the downloadable trial version. If you are copying from a backup or another computer, that won't work.
    Best advice is to download the CS4 trial, and have your serial number ready in order to convert the trial into a licensed version.
    Get the trial here. Follow the instructions carefully or the download link won't work.

  • Dec 2012 iMac using bluetooth keyboard will not exit Target Display Mode

    Hi! I have a new 27" iMac that I would like to use as a second monitor for my work laptop a late 2011 15" MBP. iMac is on 10.8.3 and Mac Book Pro on 10.7.5. Connected via a thunderbolt cable.
    I can toggle on Target Display Mode using the command-F2 keys on my bluetooth keyboard connected to the iMac. If I understand directions correctly, I should use the same keys and keyboard to toggle off – but it doesn't work. I'm able to work around by putting MBP to sleep, which exits the iMac out of TDM.
    I can use the work around, but...
    1) it's annoying.
    2) If I can't use the bluetooth keyboard to toggle, it would be nice to connect it to the MBP for use while in TMD. Unfortunately, the bluetooth keyboard is undiscoverable, presumably because it's still connected to the iMac.
    I wonder:
    Am I doing something wrong trying to toggle out of TMD using bluetooth keyboard?
    or
    Is there a way to enter iMac into TMD without using keyboard command? Maybe System Preferences?
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    Here's the solution: I had the same problem using my 27" iMac as an external display.  The issue is, when you go to Target Display mode, your target computer, the iMac 27" locks the screen with your password. 
    To switch off TDM, type your password in on the iMac keyboard and press the enter key.
    Now press COMMAND - F2 and the displays with switch back to two separate displays.  :-)
    I had to think like a computer to figure that out but it makes sense.
    I also have the disappearing mouse pointer and have not figured that one out.  I did all the software updates and I did not have this problem until I upgraded to Lion.  It is definitely a software issue.  I might have to open a case with Apple support.  Not happy.

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard will not become discoverable--solution

    I use an Apple Wireless Keyboard and mouse with my MBP. Today when I arrived at work and set up everything, the laptop would not recognize the keyboard. I went through some troubleshooting steps as recommended by Apple, but to no avail. So I figured I would remove the keyboard from my bluetooth devices and go through the setup process again.
    Not so good, because I soon realized that the keyboard wouldn't go into discoverable mode. Pressing the power button caused the light to glow for a few seconds--indicating the batteries were still charged--but it wouldn't blink. I tried removing the batteries, inserting new ones, all to no avail. Just kept pressing the button, getting the glow without blinks, and the keyboard wouldn't show up in the bluetooth setup list.
    So I guessed that the keyboard still thought it was paired with the computer, even though the computer knew it wasn't. And then I read somewhere that the range for the keyboard was around 30 feet or so. So I walked out of our cubicle area and into a stairwell 50 feet away. Sure enough, after the initial glow, the light blinked! It was discoverable.
    I ran back to my desk, hit "continue" in the bluetooth setup panel, and paired the keyboard again.
    So, if your keyboard isn't paired with your computer, but still won't go into discoverable mode, maybe this trick will work for you.

    Thanks Rob, and all of you! I tried all the steps above and almost gave up reading. Then I saw your note about the iPad! Duh (to myself not you!!!). My iPad is right nearby paired to this keyboard. I had totally forgotten about that! All I had to do was tell my iPad to forget it, then those lovely blinking lights. and now a new marriage is made (keyboard to laptop).
    My gratitude to all of you who take the time to help each other and report results. YAY!!!

  • My Bluetooth keyboard will not pair with os7 after working perfectly before the update

    My iPad mini won't pair with my Bluetooth keyboard anymore after updating to os7

    Forget the device again, then turn off bluetooth on your iPad, then turn both the iPad and the keyboard completely off. Wait 30 seconds to one minute. Now turn on your iPad and turn on bluetooth. Turn on your keyboard and pair them up again.

  • Updated to iOS 7 with kensington keyboard, Bluetooth keyboard will not work, help

    I Made the mistake of updating and now my Bluetooth kensington keyboard purchased with ipad won't work. Anybody know a fix?

    Reset Settings
    What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

  • After charging my iPhone 5s the screen has locked with the Apple symbol and will not switch on or off even after connecting to iTunes , i am using the original Apple charger

    Has anybody had a similar problem , after charging my iPhone 5s (with the Apple charger and cable ) , the screen on the phone has locked with the Apple Symbol , the phone will neither switch on or off for me to take any action , restore , upgrade etc

    I think your iPhone must be stuck in Apple logo. If so, you need to read the help guide: iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support

  • I have downloaded Yosemite but my bluetooth keyboard is not recognised

    after downloading and installing yosemite, my apple bluetooth keyboard is not connected with my mac mini.
    as a result, i can't write the password to get in

    You might need to connect a wired keyboard and then go to your bluetooth pane and reconnect your wireless keyboard.  You should always have a cheap wired keyboard as backup hardware.

  • Keyboard will not work

    My keyboard will not work. Last night I was using my computer and my battery died so I plugged it in and went to bed. This morning I turn my computer on and my login page appears but my keyboard and mouse will not work.

    It sounds like what I have seen multiple times on a device with moisture damage.
    Even sitting on a bathroom counter during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause keyboard and trackball problems UNTIL properly dried out.
    It really is more common than you think.
    1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
    2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
    3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
    3. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
    *Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
    Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
    On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
    On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

  • 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
