New apple wireless keyboard could not be detected

I just purchased a new apple wireless keyboard and not paired with any device before. It could not be detected by my mbp 09 (with most updated software) by "set up bluetooth keyboard" button. It could not detected by bluetooth device serach on ipad2 either. Any setting procedures I missed? I followed all procedures I could find... Please help. Thanks!

The Function keys will not all work properly on 10.5.8, all the other keys will be fine.  The previous model MB110LL/A would work with all the Function keys on Leopard or Snow Leopard.

  • HT3917 My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed

    My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed.

    Do you get a steady green light to say there is a connection.    If not, are the batteries the right way round.   Do you have a monitor to tell the batteries strength. Is there a reading.   Are the batteries good quality ones, Duracell, Energiser or Apple rechargeables.

  • New apple wireless keyboard & iPad 3 pairing question

    Bought a new Apple wireless keyboard this week. Had some trouble pairing with iPad 3. Took me 4-5 attempts but it finally paired successfully after 10-15 minutes. Question for all you gurus...  When the wireless keyboard arrived on Friday, I first paired it with my MacBook Pro. Could that have caused issues when I re-paired the wireless keyboard (today) with my iPad 3. And further, this will sound like a silly question, can the wireless keyboard be paired with two devices? I don't mean simultaneously. Does it screw up any settings to use the key board with separate devices/computers? Wondering -- if I keep my wireless keyboard at my office -- can I go to work with either my MBP or my iPad and simply use this one wireless keyboard? Or should each device have its own dedicated wireless keyboard? That seems redundant but I kind of love this keyboard already and would be willing to buy a second, if need be. Obviously, I don't want to spend extra money if it isn't necessary. Am I going to have to re-pair the keyboard and device each time I switch between the iPad and the MBP? Thanks all. You are always helpful and I appreciate it.

    Thanks for the quick reply Skydiver! So...I really should buy a second wireless keyboard so that I don't have to go through the hassle of re-pairing the keyboard when i switch devices, yes? Yes, I believe I've answered my own question as I now sit here with my MBP attempting to pair it to the keyboard. Oy. Taking forever. I don't mind buying a second -- for $69, it seems to be the most efficient thing to do. Now I just need to figure out a way to designate which wireless keyboard goes with which device. Time to buy a little sticker! Thanks again.

  • Cannot get new Apple wireless keyboard to pair

    I've followed the "how to" document but it does not work -- I'm assuming those instructions applied to the previous generation apple wireless keyboard, but not the new aluminum series.
    When I "Add new connection" (either Express or Custom mode) a dialogue box pops up asking me to enter a PIN on the keyboard and press enter. I enter the number given, but I get an error message that authentication "went wrong." I've heard that I need to enter a PIN of 0000 for the keyboard to work, but the Toshiba Bluetooth stack doesn't seem to want to let me choose my own PIN - it always chooses for me.
    I have uninstalled the Toshiba stack and tried the XP SP2 stack -- it works with the new apple keyboard when a PIN of 0000 is used. Unfortunately, the XP SP2 stack doesn't have the other profiles I need so I can't really use it.
    Has anyone figured this out?

    So you have entered the according PIN code into the Bluetooth keyboard (not the PC keyboard ! ) and "Link Level Security" was enabled - Is this correct ?
    Which Apple keyboard model do you use ?

  • 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!!!

  • New apple wireless keyboard doesn't work after upgrade to leopard on mini

    I am posting this because I have not seen anybody else post this issue, but it is fixed at this point.
    I installed the new apple ultra slim wireless keyboard on my mac mini about a month ago...was working great...until I upgraded to Leopard. The keyboard would connect, and the esc, function, and arrow keys would work great. However, none of the letter, number, or enter keys would work. This was all observed using the 'show keyboard viewer', which is accessible by allowing 'show input menu in menu bar' from the 'international' system preference pane.
    I rebooted many times and even updated to the latest leopard patch set.
    During this whole time, the wireless mighty mouse has worked without issue.
    I removed the device and added several times with no change. I even moved the wireless keyboard to my G5 and it worked great over there.
    After a few days of trying various things to no avail, I was finally able to get the keys to work, but I am not sure why. I had a wired keyboard connected and kept going back and forth between the wireless and wired keyboard and all of a sudden it started working. Very strange.

    this problem is fixed, but if anybody has an idea what happened, I would like to know.

  • 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?

    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.

  • I can't seem to pair my new apple wireless keyboard to my iphone 3gs despite following the instructions in the manual. My keyboard is a new model so it should be compatible.I have read several discussion pieces but no real answers. thanks Frank

    this is a question?

    Hello Mik:
    You cannot register a KB.  Apple does not keep a database of peripheral devices.
    I would question the store about the unwrapped batteries....  I would suspect that the device was returned by someone else.

  • Win7-64 intel computer apple wireless keyboard

    I have a (1st gen?) apple wireless keyboard.
    I had previously used it quite successfully in my intel e8400 Vista 32bit computer. (Kensington bluetooth dongle)
    I recently built a a Win7 intel Core i7 64bit computer. (Home premium)
    I tried the same (older model) bluetooth dongle and pair up the same wireless keyboard. No Go.
    When I call Kensington, they swear it is just that I have an old model dongle and a new dongle will fix it up right, no problem. So......I order the dongle, wait a week and install it. No Go.
    Interestingly, the Win7 computer finds the keyboard, identifies it as an apple wireless keyboard, and asks for the pairing code. I type in 1234 or 0000 (on a plugged in keybaord) and then the circle spins...and spins. Finally one of two things happens. Either the bluetooth tells me the keybaord timed out, or it says the incorrect code was entered.
    A phone call and inquiry to Apple sales staff and they say that the "tech guys" say that due to "improvements" the new apple wireless keyboards will not work with anything but an apple computer.
    I just find that a little hard to believe. since it is bluetooth, and the older keyboard (that has not therefore been "improved"), the switch from 32 to 64 bit shouldn't make an difference should it (radio signals is radio signals, right?)? and the Vista to Win7 switch should not matter either?
    First question, Am I putting in the right pairing code?
    Second question, any thought on whether this is possible or not?
    Your thoughts, suggestions, etc., are appreciated in advance.

    Hi Heleny,
    Sorry to hear about your trouble connecting the keyboard. What version of operating system do you have? You are trying to connect it with bluetooth correct?

  • F# keys on Apple Wireless Keyboard not working correctly.

    Hello everyone,
    Today I bought a brand new Apple Wireless Keyboard (the small ones who resemble laptop keyboards), which I'm very glad I bought as some keys on my older keyboard started not working anymore.
    I configured the keyboard with bluetooth and it's working just fine, except for one thing:
    The F# keys don't work as their respective icons indicate (i.e. If I press F10, F11 and/or F12, the volume isn't affected as it normally should, but instead the keys don't seem to respond, as if I weren't pressing them).
    In the Keyboard & Mouse panel in System Preferences, under the Keyboard Shortcuts, I managed to reset the F1 to F4 keys so they work as their respective icons indicate, though I didn't find and don't know how to create any shortcuts to make the volume keys (F10, F11 & F12) work again.
    Also, I would appreciate if you could help me out to reset the F7, F8 & F9 keys, which don't work either.
    I tried checking and un-checking the "Use the keys F1, F2 and so on, as standard function keys." option under the Keyboard tab, and pressing the "fn" key while pressing the F# keys, but none of those attempts seem to change anything to how the F# keys work.
    I don't know what else to do anymore and I would really appreciate some help now.
    Thanks in advance for your responses,
    Oscar.

    Shutdown your macbook.After thats done , switch the wireless keyboard off. Press Shift + Ctrl + Option  + Power Key (all together ) and then release together. Start up the macbook and once that's up start up the keyboard.Try now.The keys should work fine.

  • Using Apple Wireless Keyboard on iPad 2

    Hi Guys
    I bought a new Apple Wireless Keyboard at the AppleStore in Zürich yesterday.
    I would like to use this keyboard for my iPad 2, but I have one problem:
    I connect it with the iPad, all works perfectly. But I can`t use the other volume...iPod-features and so on. I can only
    use for writing.
    Is there anybody, who could help me? :P
    Thank you very much!
    Regards

    Unfortunately there is no way to do exactly what you want.  Apple does not let users add custom keyboard layouts to iOS devices yet, and the list of hardware layouts for English is restricted to  us, dvorak, colemak, us international-pc, us extended, british, french, german, spanish-iso, italian, dutch, belgian.  Only German is qwertz.
    You could also try switching to Swiss French or Swiss German, as the hardware layouts for both of these is qwertz I think.  But then spell check will not be in English.
