Pxc360bt not pairing with iMac

I have a pair of Sennheiser pxc360bt bluetooth headphones which pair fine with my 4g ipod touch and even my android tablet. However when i try to pair with my imac (intel i5) it cannot find the headphones when i search for available devices in the bluetooth setup assistant. Any ideas how to fix the issue. I assume its a problem with the mac and not the headphones.

Thanks Barry.
I had already deleted the KB from the bluetooth preferences and it was discoverable, so no idea why it wasn't working.
However, eventually what ended up working was that I turned the iMac off, I took the keyboard to work (i.e. away from anywhere near the iMac's vicinity) and then when I brought it back at the end of the day, the green light suddenly started blinking again and the iMac discovered the KB.   I don't know how these things are designed but apparently, you need to take the KB out of the range of the device it was formerly paired with EVEN IF you have deleted the device from the bluetooth preferences.  Otherwise, somehow, the pairing is still remembered and the device is not recognized.
If this happens again, next time, I'll try your reset SMC suggestion.  thanks for your help.

  • Wireless keyboard not pairing with IMac while mouse

    I am having trouble with the wireless keyboard entering my password when booting up. It will not let me enter any characters. My wireless mouse & trackpad seem to work fine. Right now I am submitting this issue through my Ipad (3rd Gen) using the same keyboard that will not pair with my IMac. I called Apple tech yesterday and he had me remove  the new batteries from the keyboard and depress the power button for one minute, then replace the batteries and power up the Imac. That solution seemed to work yesterday. Last evening i shut the machine down and tried to start today and had the same issue. The keyboard is working fine with this Ipad and had no trouble recognizing it on bluetooth. Has anybody had this same problem, I was considering purchasing a USB apple keyboard until I tried the keyboard with a different device (my ipad)

    How did you get on? My brother is having a similar problem, he bought a replacement wireless keyboard which is not recognized by/paired with his iMac and thus he can't login..

  • Wireless Keyboard Will Not Pair With iMac

    After installing Security Update 2007-007 and Pro Applicatiion Support 4.0.1 my wireless keyboard stopped being recognized by my computer. When I run my Bluetooth Setup Assistant it sees my keyboard but I can not pair it. I even installed new battteries in it thinking that was the problem. I had a brand new never used wireless keyboard in the closet which i got out and installed batteries in it and it will also not pair with my iMac. Any sugggestions will be greatly appreciated since I am stumped! Oh, my wireless mouse is working fine.

    The model number is M9270LL/A (its the one that comes with the iMac). When the screen comes up and asks for you to enter a set of numbers to pair with the computer and I type the nembers on the keyboard I then receive an message that an error has occured. I try and try again to pair the keyboard to the computer with the same results. Thanks.

  • Apple keyboard not pairing with iMac

    My wireless keyboard was working fine just until 2 weeks ago when I went out of town for a couple of weeks (and it has worked fine for over 2 years now).  Now it is giving me problems pairing with my iMac.  I've gone through all the support discussions and I've tried everything. 
    I uncoupled the device from the computer because it was not connecting and have tried connecting it ever since and nothing seems to work.  The computer seems to "find" the keyboard but won't connect to it.
    I have pushed down the power button the entire time during pairing process as suggested by some people with the problem on the discussion boards and that doesn't do it either.   While occasionally the computer will see the keyboard, it just does not seem to want to connect to it.  The green light comes on for a bit when I hold the power key down (or even when I just push it once) and then goes off.  It never blinks i.e. it doesn't seem like it's going into pairing mode at all.
    This is really confounding.  Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated.  I'm already 3 hours in the whole trying to fix this.

    Thanks Barry.

  • Wireless keypad not pairing with imac

    I purchased a wireless keypad for my iMac but can't get it to pair with the Mac. The computer recognizes it but pairing is unsuccessful. I can't get it to work.

  • My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus 3.0) is recognised by my iMac but will  not pair?  I have paired it with my iPad using code 8310 but it still will not pair with my iMac.  Can someone help please?

    My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus brand - bought recently in Thailand)(similar to Mac small keyboard) will pair with my iPad using code 8310,and is recognized by my iMac but will not pair?
    There are very scant instructions with the keyboard and no mention of any code (the code was prompted by my iPad).
    I have followed the instructions but it still will not pair with my iMac!
    Can anyone help please?
    My iMac is 20 inch  Mid 2007 OSX10.9.1 4GB RAM

    Hi All, thank you for you suggestions.  I have been unable to find any website for the maker, but have looked at several Thai/cambodian sites incl <http://www.buycoms.com/Article/8435/index.asp>  which mentions the keyboard being suitable for tablet or windows.  No mention of iMac!  although the box is branded to indicate Mac compatable.
    I'm thinking that maybe it just will not pair with an iMac.
    Ill keep looking for the maker website, which might come on later in the future? maybe?
    thanks again.

    You may have to enter device code like 000 in phone so it can pair up.
    Try checking the box you mentioned
    Check the manual for your Bluetooth device it will tell you the code Read all of it!!!!!
    Try turning on Bluetooth just as phone is put in search mood.

  • Samsung D600 won't pair with iMac

    I've just received a Samsung D600 mobile phone (UK), and it will not pair with my iMac (X 10.4.10).
    Trying to pair from the phone, and the phone sees the Mac, try to pair and enter the code on both the phone and computer, and it fails.
    Trying to pair from the computer and it sees the phone, gives me a pairing code, but the phone doesn't activate and ask for the code.
    The phone bluetooth is on and discoverable.
    I had no problem with my previous phone (Sony Ericsson W710i), now this is also failing to pair.
    Please help as there are several photos on the Samsung I want to transfer. USB doesn't work on the Mac either, plugged the cable into a powered port, and nothing happened on the Mac, even after setting the phone to mass storage device.
    Thanks,
    Pete.

    Update: Just got a Casio G'z One Ravine2. works very good with the car.

  • IPad 2 can't pair with iMac wireless Keyboard (late 2009)

    ipad 2 will not pair with wireless keyboard that came with iMac late 2009.
    I've read countless ways to do this in support forums, but no matter what I do, I can not get the ipad 2 to work with my wireless keyboard.
    In settings>bluetooth, I UNCHECKED discoverable for the keyboard, as I've read many times.
    I then clicked the minus button and a box came up ( I can not recall what it said but it basically asked if I wanted to ?remove? the device, and I clicked OK.
    Then, I went to the iPad 2, into bluetooth, and went to pair it. The keyboard was discoverable, and then something with a code came up on the iPad screen, and I clicked OK.
    NOTHING happened, even though it said it was connected.
    I looked at my iMac screen, and there was something there with a code that had to be typed in? This is where I get confused. I disconnected the keyboard, yet I got a box on the iMac screen, asking me to put the code in to pair it with the ipad 2 !  I figured it must be a mistake, because I disconnected the keyboard from the imac.
    well, I tried to key in the code and it worked on the IMAC...which, technically, it should not have been able to do.
    I've watched countless Youtube videos, read through the support forums here and...I can't find anyone with  this same problem and so, I toss it out to you all in Apple Support.
    What could I be doing wrong?? 
    Thanks.

    Spoke with an Apple Care Tech today on this issue:
    Apparently, this is how it works : First, you have to go to BLUE TOOTH and when you see your keyboard, delete it or remove it, and then shut down the computer.
    Then, you must go to your iPAD. (initially, your blue tooth on iPAD should be TURNED OFF- now, turn it ON.
    Press and hold the button on the right side of your keyboard for 5 seconds, and watch for it to blink then go off.
    Next, push the button on the side of the keyboard again, it will go on.
    On your ipad, under Blue Tooth, you will see some numbers and it might say NOT CONNECTED. Click that.
    Be patient and then under that, something like YOUR NAME KEYBOARD will appear. Click it and it will give you a code to type in. Type it in. Be patient. Might not take the first time. Do it again. When the code comes up again, type it in again.
    This worked for me as suddenly the keyboard was paired with the iPAD 2.
    When you want to unpair it, turn blue tooth on the  ipad OFF. Turn your computer back on. Initially your screen will come up to sign in (if you have it set up that way). In a few seconds, you will see that your keyboard has reconnected to your Mac. Sign in and that's that:)

  • Bluetooth will not pair with Moto Droid4

    My Droid4 has will not pair with either my "Verzion" Jabra VBT-4050 nor my Jawbone Icon.  Both these earpieces paired with this phone before, but will not now.
    Makes no sense to me.
    Thanks...Andy

        westa510b,
    That can certainly be confusing since it previously paired just fine with your device. We will be happy to take a closer look at this matter with you. Have you attempted to reboot the device? Tried deleting the bluetooth connection from the device, then re-establishing connection? Any changes recently to the devices software or additions of an application when you first noticed this issue began?

  • Macbook pro will not pair with Vizio sound bar.

    Macbook will not pair with Vizio sound bar. It has paired and worked fine in the past. in the menu bar at the top of the screen it says it is connected but it is not. when I open the bluetooth preferences and try to pair it says pairing failed. any help would be great. thanks.

    Me too. sigh
    All was well until this afternoon, when I swapped out the batteries on my trusty old Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth, which has worked flawlessly for me for a few years now. After I put new batteries in, my MBP wouldn't recognize it. I went through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, and it "saw" the mouse and properly listed it as "Microsoft Mouse". I hit "continue", of course, and the Assistant said "Pairing with your Bluetooth mouse". It got as far as "Connection established" (and I saw the mouse appear in the Bluetooth preference pane", but then I got the dreaded red words: "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. Make sure your mouse is in range of this computer, turned on and "discoverable." Etc., etc. I made sure of all of those things and tried again, many times, with the same failure every time. I tried different batteries, rebooted the Mac, and so on. No luck.
    Figuring my mouse was dead, I went out and bought a Kensington Slimblade Bluetooth Presenter Mouse, brand new, never been paired with anything. Same problem!
    Also, I can no longer get my Palm Treo 650 to sync via Bluetooth. It used to be a little flaky (often complained that the port was in use by another application), but rebooting the Treo always solved that. Now, it doesn't.
    One trusty old mouse suddenly stops pairing, one brand-new one refuses to pair, smartphone won't sync any more. I haven't installed any system updates or anything else since the Microsoft mouse worked. The only weird thing going on is that I'm having massive network connectivity issues with my broadband connection (probably a flaky cable modem), and a couple of days ago I bought a new Airport Extreme a/b/g/n wireless router, which is at the other end of the house from my computer and now-defunct mice.
    Very bizarre. Can the Bluetooth chip or antenna in a MacBook Pro burn out or otherwise fail?
    Puzzled and frustrated,
