My keyboard does not connect (BKFC-04)

Hey guys
I've got a mini bluetooth wireless keyboard BKFC-04 but it does not connect to my macbook pro.
First off all my macbook does not see this keyboard but another (something with BCM20730) and if i want to connect this, it's not possible.
In dutch it says: " Koppeling mislukt".
What can i do? I already tried to catch it in my bluetooth settings, but there it gives the same problem.
Help me please!
Thankyou

  • Keyboard does not connect - have narrowed to a software issue as it works in safe mode, but do not know how to resolve the software issue

    I was in the process of connecting a Razer Blackwidow USB keyboard to my iMAC and something went wrong.
    The new keyboard doe not respond and now my bluetooth keyboard does not work either. No connectivity whatsoever.
    I've tried a number of things, including resetting the PRAM / NVRAM and SMC (interesting that the computer responds to the keyboard commands that are required to reset the PRAM). I also checked all the universal access setting to make sure nothing was interfering with normal keyboard operation.
    btw, blutooth seems to think the keyboard is connected I get a gree light. I can even go through the process of unpairing and pairing and it allows me to type in the numberical code to pair the keyboard, but after that, it still does not work.
    When I start the machine in safe mode, the keyboard works fine. So I've narrowed this down to a software problem. I tried to go to another user account to see if it's just associated with the current user, but since I have no keyboard connection at all, I can't type in a password, so that's no good.
    I've eliminated a number of applications that I have recently installed (including the Razer set up app) that might interfere with keyboard operation, but no luck.
    Any suggestions on how to go about tracking down this software issue?
    Thanks - musikman7

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” (without the quotes) and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Step 1
    Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
    Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
    Step 2
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
    Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Wireless apple keyboard does not connect to new Mac Pro Late 2013

    I just got my new Mac Pro 2013 and I can not connect it to my wireless apple keyboard. I am not able to set up and run the system. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

  • My apple keyboard does not connect to bluetooth

    I cannot find a way to connect my apple keyboard to blue tooth on my macbook pro (mid 2010). I have new batteries. Who can help?
    Thank you,
    fenton lawless

    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
    If the keyboard is already paired with another device, remove that pairing.
    Step 2
    Follow the instructions in these support articles:
    How to set up your Apple Wireless Keyboard
    Apple Wireless Keyboard: Difficulty during pairing process
    Bluetooth devices become unresponsive
    Step 3
    The keyboard should pair automatically when you restart the computer. You may have to press and hold the power button on the right side of an Apple keyboard until the LED starts flashing.
    Step 4
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 5
    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. Restart.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 6
    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 7
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

  • Keyboard does not connect to boot camp

  • TS3048 My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

    My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

    I would always have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand (need not be expensive ... any cheap wired devices will work).  "Emergency recovery" procedures can activate features in random order, so the opportunity to select a recovery partition may pass before the wireless devices are recognized.
    That will let you select the "turn on Bluetooth" icon.

    Lots of WIFI needs a username and password to get access. I guess you're lucky and yours is set up unsecured.
    Normal secured WiFi requires only a password to get access. The password is used to encrypt traffic between your device and the WiFi access point. If whatever you are using requires a username as well then it is not simply normal secured WiFi. It might be a subscription WiFi service like GOGO, ATT, etc., or a service with authentication, i.e., college campus, etc. To help you out we need to know what you are using and what connection dialog you are being presented with. You don't have exactly the same problem as the original poster. He is having a problem entering a password into the password dialog that iOS presents when one tries to connect to a normal secured WiFi network. Could you clarify exactly which WiFi service you are using.

    Desktop set up (same at work and home)
    - Thunderbolt display
    - Aluminum Bluetooth Keyboard
    - Aluminum Bluetooth Trackpad
    What I do:
    - Plug in the sleeping mbair into my display via thunderbolt and power cable
    - Wake up using external bluetooth trackpad
    - computer wakes up and external trackpad is functional (it always works)
    - 7/10 times the external keyboard will not connect to enter password to get into system
         - I have tried power button banging on it for a long time and does not work
         - open mbair and type password in and remove keyboard and repair and after several tried it will work
         - then I can close mbair and use external keyboard
         - painful to do this most days at home and work
    What have I tried
    - PRAM, SMC reset
    - remove all BT entries - trash blutooth properties files and freshly add them back
    - I have tried waking using keyboard as well and it does not work
    Only think I have wanted to try and have not found out is, if keyboard can reset to factory.
    Yes I also have the occasionaly wifi not connecting from sleep issue

    Hello
    Have you noticed this problem on factory settings or only on your Windows 7 installation? Maybe its just a driver or software issue
    Make also sure that latest BIOS version is installed. Look on the Toshiba website for an update:

    Before you start the update, make sure that all programs are closed and you are logged in as Administrator.

  • Apple USB keyboard does not work

    I have the same problem as described by Sweboss on November 15th, 2012. The Apple USB keyboard is working perfectly, but if I shut down the computer, when I switch it on again, the USB keyboard does not respond, and the computer is looking for a Bluetooth keyboard (which I had before). I have tried switching off, unplugging all peripherals, then unplugging the computer, waiting 15 seconds, then plug it in, wait 5 seconds (this is a remedy proposed in other mails). Switch on and the USB keyboard does not respond. It is not that particular USB port, as it works perfectly well with other peripherals like my scanner, or printer, and changing ports does not help. And when I tried it last time, I had no other USB peripherals connected. Can anyone help?

    That is definitely some strange behavior, good to finally be working, but does not explain exactly what causes the behavior.  Could have something to do with the energy saver part of the operating system, or a miscommunication with the USB bus itself.  With multiple USB ports it would be good to test on different ports to see if that is an issue.  Anyway, it is working now and that is good.
    Another I don't know why but it works: a couple months ago a user was having problems with a wireless keyboard.  The keyboard-iMac communication resulted in random charaters, time lag, and other bad behavior.  The user finally found by accident that turning the keyboard off, removing the batteries, and then spending about five minutes just pressing keys, placing the palm of the hand on the keyboard and pressing, just pressing and pressing, and then replacing the batteries and turning on the keyboard, it worked fine.  Seems like it is necessary to just force the keyboard to discharge all of the key switches.  Those keyboards use capacitance switches instead of mechanical switches.  So they retain a charge.
    While that was a wireless keyboard, I wonder if that was what happened in a way with your keyboard...the unplugging and leaving it for a period of time, any charge may have dissipated and it would work again.  If this happens again, try the above procedure and see if it helps.

  • Wireless keyboard does not work after waking up from idle

    After MacBook Air went to sleep, wireless keyboard does not properly connect to MacBook - I can wake the MacBook up, but meaningless numbers are sent, and I cannot type in my password. Have to "open" MacBook, and use keys - disconnect and re-connect wireless keyboard. I also use Magic Mouse and it works flawlessly. Problem is small but annoying. Any help?

  • Keyboard does not click

    My keyboard does not click as I type. I also noted that FaceTime does not ring when connecting. I do use a BlueTooth speaker when I listen to my iPad, which works fine. I have my iPad 2 upgraded to the latest iOS system. The speakers work fine when I listen to on line radio and television programs.  I checked Settings, and it shows that both keyboard click and FaceTime ring are on. Thank you for any help.

    This did solve my problems. I did get feedback about the FaceTime issue, that the Settings, General, Use side switch was on mute, which may have also been a problem. As I checked the device before solving, I noticed that none of my apps had sound. I found that resetting, though, forced me to enter pass codes. An inconvenience, but at least I have everything back to normal, thanks to you and the discussion folks. Thank you.

    If you continue and you lose everything, you will be able to download most of the content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. You can read this about downloading past purchases.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    But before you continue and lose everything, try this.
    Eject your iPad, quit iTunes and restart your computer. Then launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. See if you have mutliple iPad backups showing in there. If you have multiple backups, delete all but one of them. Also check the box at the bottom that turns off auto sync .... Prevent iPods ......Click OK and Then quit iTunes.
    Connect the iPad again and launch iTunes. Right click on your iPad name on the left side of iTunes and select backup. See if the iTunes will create a backup. If it does, after it finishes, click on the Summary Pane on the right and click on check for update. Try to update again.
    If it all goes OK, after you update the iOS you can back to Edit>Preferences>Devices and turn on atuo sync again - assuming that is how you want to sync.
