My wireless Apple keyboard won't connect, it just keeps blinking to pair, but nothing connects. I even tried hooking up another wireless I have and it does the same thing. Should I delete it and set it up again?

Hey Apple Health,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! There's an article that helps to resolve issues with wireless keyboards. I'd take a look at it, go through the troubleshooting steps, and see if that resolves the issue for you:

    More possible bad news.  If you had followed what fane_j had asked you to do you might have found out it wasn't microsoft's fault for your problem and wouldn't have had to spend $150.  Because while you may have an Office that works, fane_j was not suggesting a solution but probing for a trojan (google "flashback trojan") that has been crashing powerpc code which is what Office 2004 is.
    So if you do have the trojan, while you can run a version of Office, the trojan may still be in your system since installing a version of Office isn't going to remove it.  So I'll make another request.  Launch Terminal (in your Utilities folder) and copy/paste the following line into the terminal window and hit return:
    defaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment
    If you see anything other than a "does not exist" error message you almost certainly do have the trojan and post the results in this thread.
    The choice is yours.  You can ignore this and take the risk.  Or do what has been requested.

    Make sure that both the web browser you're using and its Flash plug-in are up to date. Google Chrome has its own Flash plug-in it updates on its own. Firefox, IE and other have separate plug-ins.

    My iphone 4 wont play sound through the internal speaker. Will play if I hook up headphones. I have reset it, restored it, and it does the same thing. I can still hear when i make calls too. The the output button only says dock connector or apple tv.

    If the phone has ever gotten wet it may be damaged. It may also have dirt or a bent pin in the dock connector or the earphone jack. Try cleaning the dock connector and inspecting it with a magnifying glass. Try inserting and removing the earphone plug several times. If you have restored it and that did not fix the problem damage is the most likely cause.

  • Got my daughter an ipod touch 4th and it wont dothe back up from itunes? I bought my other daughter an iphone 4 and its doing the same thing. Both are locking up itunes too.

    Got my daughter an ipod touch 4th and it wont dothe back up from itunes? I bought my other daughter an iphone 4 and its doing the same thing. Both are locking up itunes too. I tried the deactivate/activate that was suggested it still didnt work. I took the ipod to a friend and hooked to her laptop and it synced fine but now trying to sync on mine it wont do it and it has the backup encryption on but no passwords will unlock it. itunes will reccognize the ipod and the iphone but while going thru the sync steps they both get to step 2 then lock up itunes and then says its syncing but will never stop. I am very frustrated and am regretting buying products from Apple.

    It seems to be a glitch or bug. Its been officially acknowledged and addressed by Apple. There is no resolution other than waiting for a few days.   The Kb article by Apple states it will fix itself on January 7.

    Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that you cannot print wirelessly with your HP Photosmart Premium c310 on Mac OS X 10.9. I am happy to look into this connection issue for you! I am not sure which support pages you have been to, but here are some that I would suggest going through: 'Printer Offline' or 'Printer Not Responding' Message (OS X).Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. Tips for troubleshooting wireless connection issues
    The following tips can help you troubleshoot and avoid wireless connectivity issues. You can try these tips separately or in combination to get a successful wireless signal. Move the printer and the computer closer to the router, but no closer than 6 ft (1.8 m). Wireless signals can be weaker at greater distances between the printer and the router.If you are experiencing an intermittent wireless connection, try restarting your router. Consult your router manufacturer, Internet service provider, or network administrator for instructions on how to restart the router.Remove any metal objects between the printer, the computer, and the router. Objects such as refrigerators, microwaves, or metal bookcases can interfere with wireless transmission.Move any device that emits radio signals, such as microwaves and cordless telephones, farther away from the printer. Such devices can interfere with wireless signals. Are you able to print to the printer with any other wireless devices? Hope this information is helpful, and hope to hear from you soon!  “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

  • HT204053 i am trying to create an account for icloud. i have had itunes for years and am using my apple id. however it is coming back as saying this is your apple id but not your icloud id??? from what i have read this is the same thing. i cant get passed

    I am trying to create an icloud account and  have used itunes for years . Therefore have been using my apple id to sign in. Unfortunatly it keeps coming back saying this is my apple id but not my icloud id is this different?
    Ive looked at help and it states its the same i have changed my passord several times as i thought it was this. Can anyone please help.??

    I've tried both. First, I tried on my pc, where iTunes had installed iCloud when it last updated. I have iTunes installed on this computer (and on my iPad and iPhone), but that wasn't the issue.
    So I went online, thinking I needed a separate iCloud Apple ID, but it prompted me for my current Apple ID and gave me the message about my ID being "valid" but not an iCloud account," which, lol, was what it had asked me to do in order to create one. I checked, and at least one other user is having the same issue. I'll attempt to copy/paste the Support request url: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4430653?tstart=0
    Thank you for any help you can give.

  • TS1367 my mac pro won't boot up, it keeps showing the circle but then shuts off.  I've disconnected everything and it keeps doing the same thing.

    I have a mac pro desktop and it won't boot up, it keeps freezing at the circle and then appears to be loading and then it shuts off.  I've turned it off and disconnected everything and reconnect and it does the same thing.

    I wasn't aware PRAM batteries did any charging
    Apple has used rechargeable batteries for volatile storage for some time.
    and just 'held' information in NVRAM and PRAM when needed and there was no power coming in
    I can't see data held in NVRAM/PRAM doing something like keeping time without some power. One can't assume a permanent Internet connection to update it when the system is turned on now can we?
    I assume it is on a 1000VA UPS that has good battery and fully charged too, and didn't discharge during the vacation
    If the UPS was turned off it's as good as being totally unplugged so it may well have still been at 100% upon return. There's no power delivery when the UPS is off remember.

  • HT201210 could not back up iphone to this computer.  I have bought a new phone iphone 4 and it says the same thing. though I have another iphone 3 that backs up perfectly to this computer every time. why?

    I had 2 iPhone 3G's, one of them screwed up and wouldn't recieve service. Up until then when I backed them up to my computer all was good, then one of them would update and all but a screen would pop up and tell me it couldn't back up to my computer.  Recently I replaced the bad tele with an iPhone 4 and it does the same thing while the other iPhone 3G still backs up fine.......What up!!!  Help please.   Don't wanna lose my info..

    I banged my head on the wall with the same problem for two days.  Tried everything mentioned, and this worked, finally.  The problem is that the backup files are not where you think they are.
    You need to delete the MobilSync backup folder.  I have a Mac.  Went to /Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup and deleted the Backup folder. 
    Fixed the problem.  Give it a try and good luck!

  • I cannot download a song it says it has been corrupted and must go to store check for downloads and I do that and it says the same thing.  will not download I paid for it and can't download

    I purchased a song but when downloading it says it is corrupted.  So I go to store and check for downloads and it does the same thing

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)
