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 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 iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro.  it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone

    my iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro.  it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone.  However, when I go to authorize my computer, it says it is already authorized.  How do I fix this?

    You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
    If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.

  • My Apple bluetooth keyboard no longer connects to my Macbook Pro

    My wireless keyboard no longer connects to my Macbook using Bluetooth. I've put in fresh batteries, checked the on/off switch, and attempted to connected using system dialog. Also tried turning Bluetooth off and on. Nothing works. Wireless trackpad works fine.

    You may need a wired keyboard to carry out some of these steps. It's a good idea to keep a cheap wired keyboard and mouse or trackball as backups for a desktop Mac anyway, because Bluetooth isn't completely reliable.
    Step 1
    Follow the instructions in these support articles:
    How to set up your Apple Wireless Keyboard
    Apple Wireless Keyboard: Difficulty during pairing process
    Step 2
    The keyboard should pair automatically when you reboot. You may have to press and hold the power button on the right side of an Apple keyboard until the LED starts flashing.
    Step 3
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 4
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select 
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Reboot.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    See these support articles:
    Bluetooth keyboard may not pair during Setup Assistant
    Wi-Fi and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference
    Bluetooth: Unreliable wireless performance may occur when USB 3.0 external devices are close
    Step 6
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • HP Laserjet ProP1102 will not connect with my MacBook Pro

    My new Macbook Pro with Yosemite will not print on this printer. It did do so a few days ago but not anymore. In wireless mode it will not communicate with the printer (or the printer will not communicate with it.) When connected with a wire the printer does not respond.
    On my old MacPro with Mountain Lion it will print with a wire but not without.
    There was a fleeting mysterious notice saying i needed a software update but I cannot find anything to this effect on the HP website.

    Hi @DavidL1,
    I read your post and see that you are unable to print by a USB or Wireless connection. I will certainly do my best to help you.
    Make sure Safari is set as the default browser. (sometimes the EWS won't open if it isn't set as the default)
    Open Safari, across the top select the Safari menu, select Preferences, General, set as default.
    Restore the printer's default wireless settings:
    1. Turn the product off.
    2. Press and hold the wireless button and the cancel button and then turn the product on.
    3. Hold the buttons until the printer stops making noise, then release the buttons.
    Print a a Configuration Page to make sure the IPv4 and SSID are cleared of the old settings.
    Printing a Configuration Page.
    Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
    Close all applications.
    On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
    Double-click Disk Utility.
    Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
    Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
    Restart the computer..
    Reset the Printing System:
    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
    Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
    Click Printers & Scanners.
    Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
    Click OK to confirm the reset.
    Type the correct Name and Password.
    Click OK to reset the printing system.
    Follow this document to reconfigure the printer over the wireless network.

    Have a nice day!

  • 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.

  • Will the new Apple wireless keyboard and mouse work with my Macbook Pro?

    Looking at purchasing a wireless keyboard and mouse for my Macbook Pro. Figured the one made by apple will work, but not sure... Any suggestions on a good wireless keyboard and mouse, or knowledge on whether Apples will work or not?

    keyboard: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/MC184LLANB/
    magic mouse: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/MB829LLABB/
    I just got them last week and the keyboard is new and the mouse is used but looks brand new.  And you get a free pair of AA bateries with the mouse.  And you can get 2AA batteries for the keyboard for an extra $1.29 I highly recommend going this route as I did very recently and am very pleased.

  • My new iphone 5S will not sync with my MacBook Pro

    I am connected to the laptop with my USB cable, enter the code indicated and the phone and laptop will not sync.

    This isn't related to Firefox in anyway. Please contact apple for support.

  • Motorola HS820 will not pair with my Macbook Pro and now audio is broken...

    My problem is two fold.
    First i cannot connect my Motorola HS820 Bluetooth headset to my Macbook Pro. The bluetooth assistant pairs it succesfully but when it connects it immediately disconnects. All of the posts i that address this are either for g4 macbooks or do not work for me...
    Second, now that i have attempted this connection i am having issues with several apps including firefox and mediacentral. Audio from these programs will not play. I get an error message saying there was a problem with configuration..

    This is not related to the Intel platform (MacBook or MacBook Pro). Make sure the headset is turned on before you turn on your Mac. Then it should connect correctly.
    To change the sound outpu, please go to Mac OS X > System Preferences > Sound > Output and change it back to the internal speakers.

  • Epson RX620 will not print with my MacBook Pro. Error:/ System/Library/ Pri

    I can't get my Epson RX620 to print using my MacBook Pro. It prints fine using my G5 and all info was migrated from the G5 to the MacBook Pro. But I get this error message, Error:/ System/Library/ Pri... can anyone help?

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    What's the rest of that error message? Posting what you did is similar to posting as an error message the text "I'm having trouble with ..." with nothing following.
    I'd try several things until things work:
    1) Open the Print & Fax panel of System Preferences. Right-click on a printer entry and choose "Reset printing system".
    2) Delete the entry for your printer, then add it back.
    3) Check the Epson Web site for a recent driver for your printer. Download it, then first run it in "uninstall" move, then in "install" mode.
    I'll be personally interested in what you learn. I have a relative who has an RX620 and 10.6.4, but I'm not sure he's tried to print anything yet.

  • Suddenly my ipod and iphone will not sync with my macbook pro

    sync was working until about a week ago with all of my devices (Ipod/iphone)
    Sync is now greyed out, and it says the sync will resume when the macbook pro is available.
    Why isn't it available now?
    can I manually make it available?
    thanks.

    Are yo trying to sync via wifi?

  • Iphone 4 will not charge past 5% and will not sync with my Macbook Pro

    It will also not show up in itunes..
    The liquid damage indicators are both white... when I compared the ports on my phone and my friends phone there are no differences that I can see... And I've cross tested every cable and charger with another phone and they are all good.

    Maybe if people would actually try the basic troubleshooting steps BEFORE they posted a frantic "what should I do?" here, we wouldn't have to tell them to try it so often.

  • Apple Bluetooth keyboard won't pair with new iPad mini

    Apple Bluetooth keyboard won't pair with new iPad mini

    I have same results. I have an ipad mini and it will not pair with my apple keyboard. I bought a mini keyboard with bluetooth 3.0 and it will not pair either.  Is my ipad defective?  Or do i need a keyboard with bluetooth 4.0?  Also - the mini keypad will pair with my ipad2 and my iphone 4.  Only difference I can find is the ipad mini has bluetooth 4.0.  Seems it should be downward compatible but maybe not.. I am not a blutooth expert!
