The old (2003) bluetooth wireless keyboard and snow leopard

I was thinking of getting this keyboard because it's the only wireless keyboard apple made that also has a number pad. My question is if anyone has any connectivity issues or issues after connectivity with this keyboard on osx 10.6.2 just because of how long ago it was made.

I have just plain Leopard at 10.5.8 and I can tell you that the mac find it, it's discoverable, but it won't fully sync. I'm not able to type a single letter. Worked just fine up until upgrading to leopard.

  • TS3048 I changed the battery in my wireless keyboard and checked the batteries to make sure that they work.  When I returned to my computer (the computer was already on) the keyboard would not work, no response at all.  What do I do?

    I changed the battery in my wireless keyboard and checked the batteries to make sure that they are good, I left the computer on while I changed the batteries. When I returned to the computer, the computer does not acknowledge the keyboard so I can't do any diagnostics. What do I do?

    Hold the power key on the keyboard down for 5 secs to power off,  tap the power button once to start.   It should connect automatically.

  • Running Boot Camp in Windows 7 with Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Magic Mouse

    NOTE: I was installing a fresh copy of Windows 7 Professional on a 27" iMac mid-2010 with a Processor Speed of 2.93 GHz, a Core i7 Processor Type,  a Quad Core Processor Configuration, 8GB RAM, and a ATI Radeon HD 5750 Graphics Card.  I run Snow Leopard so it is a 64-bit OS.  I have a Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Magic Mouse as well.  In order to install Windows 7 you need a Wired Keyboard and Mouse.  You will also need a Wired Keyboard and Wired Mouse to update Boot Camp.
    Updating Boot Camp Assistant (VERY IMPORTANT)
    First, plug in a wired keyboard and wired mouse.  The Boot Camp Assistant version that came with my iMac was 3.0 so I upgraded it to 3.1 and then to 3.2.  I'm not sure if only the upgrade to 3.1 is necessary, but I took it a step further.  I was told by Apple Tech Support that you first needed to upgrade to version 3.1 before being able to upgrade to 3.2  These upgrades will not be found using Software Update on the Mac.  However, they can be found at http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents
    They also have software updates for 32-bit machines as well and MacBook Pro updates.
    NOTE: Before updating the version of Boot Camp, but after installing Windows 7 and after putting in the Mac OS X Install DVD to run Setup.exe to download the Mac drivers, run Software Update for the Mac while logged into Windows 7 by clicking on Start - All Programs - Software Update for any additional updates.
    Next I installed Boot Camp Software Update 3.1 for Windows 64 bit found at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1336
    I then ran Software Update for the Mac while logged into Windows 7 by clicking on Start - All Programs - Software Update
    Then I installed Boot Camp Software Update 3.2 for Windows 64 bit found at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL979
    I then installed Boot Camp 3.2 Update for iMac (early 2011) found at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL979 but I'm not sure if this was necessary.
    Once Boot Camp 3.2 has been installed I ran Software Update for the Mac again while logged into WIndows 7 to make sure I had all the updates.
    Configuring a Bluetooth device on a Windows-based computer
    (from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/952818)
    How to make sure that the Bluetooth service is started (MY COMPUTER WAS ALREADY SET UP TO RUN BLUETOOTH, SO THE NEXT 8 STEPS COULD BE OPTIONAL)
    Open the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in for Services. To do this, follow these steps.
    Windows Vista or Windows 7Windows XP
    Click Start, and then click Run.
    Copy and then paste (or type) the following command in the Open box, and then press ENTER:services.msc
    Click Start , copy and then paste (or type) the following command in the Start Searchbox, and then press ENTER:services.msc
    In the Programs list, click Services.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
    Double-click the Bluetooth Support service.
    If the Bluetooth Support service is stopped, click Start.
    On the Startup type list, click Automatic.
    Click the Log On tab.
    Click Local System account.
    Click OK.
    If you prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.
    How to connect the Bluetooth device to the computer
    1. First off, you need to go into Mac OS and remove the keyboard and mouse from your Bluetooth settings entirely. You'll add them back in later (see 9) below).
    2. Boot into Windows using a USB connected Mouse and Keyboard.
    3. Go to Control Panel – Hardware and Sound – Device and Printers – Add a Device
    4. Turn on the Mouse to send out a signal and once it sees it select it to be paired to the computer
    5. Run 3.) again except select the keyboard.
    6. Turn on the Keyboard to send out a signal and once it sees it select it to be paired to the computer by typing in the 8 digit number into the wireless keyboard and hit ENTER/RETURN.
    7. To see if everything was added go to Devices and Printers and see if they were added to the list.
    8. Shutdown Windows 7 and Restart using Mac OSX.  If you adjusted the Boot Camp settings while in Windows 7 you will see a Boot Camp icon in the system tray located at the bottom right of the screen.  From here you can logoff and reboot in Mac OSX.  If you don't, do a RESTART and hold the Option key down after hearing the GONG and select the Mac HD option while logging in.  Now it's time to add back the wireless mouse and keyboard to be recognized by your Mac.
    9. Go to System Preferences – Internet and Wireless – Bluetooth
    10. Hit the “+” button to launch the Bluetooth Setup Assistant to find the devices sending out the signal.
    11. Highlight the device found and hit “Continue”
    12. Do this for both the keyboard and mouse.  You will be prompted to type in the 8 digit code into the wireless keyboard in order to pair it with your computer.
    13. Click on the pinwheel next to the “-“ sign to rename the wireless devices if you'd like.
    I then logged back into Windows 7 to see if the mouse and keyboard were functional and had no problems.  For some reason, Windows has problems pairing bluetooth devices that are already paired under a Mac OSX.  Many people have updated Boot Camp, yet still were not able to pair their wireless devices because they didn't break the Bluetooth connection on the Mac side first. So both steps are necessary (1) Updating to at least Boot Camp 3.1 if not 3.2 and (2) Deleting the Wireless mouse and keyboard link while running Mac OSX before trying to pair them in a Windows OS.

    I found the answers by trial and errors.
    @  is obtained by CTRL + OPT + 2
    #   is obtained by CTRL + OPT + 3
    (without shift or caps lock)
    These two signs are critical and I fail to understand why this information is not readily available from the help function or from the Apple support.

  • Bluetooth wireless keyboard and Centro (Verizon)

    Anyone else having trouble navigatating menus within Palm applications on their Centro using Bluetooth keyboard Fn or Cmd arrow keys?  I can go up and down but not side to side.  Downloaded latest driver which is actually the same driver that came with the keyboard.
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    Follow up:  Palm live chat passed me on to tech support, who advised the Centro is not compatible with the Bluetooth wireless keyboard, then passed me on again to the Palm store for a return.  The Palm Store advertises the items as compatible and insist I just have a bad keyboard.  They are shipping another.  I will pass on the results with the new keyboard.  Is anyone else successfully using a Bluetooth keyboard with a Centro?

  • Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard and iPhone

    Is it possible to pair the Apple Wireless Keyboard with the iPhone using Bluetooth??

    My vote for this in a future update.
    The iPhone is useful as it is, but when I try to use it out-and-about to admin a load of unix machines it gets very boring typing long and complex command lines in using the onscreen keyboard. The BT keyboard I already have which I used to use with an iPaq was excellent for this.
    Onscreen KB - great example of the breed for "normal" use, but please give us the choice Apple!

  • HT1338 I'm having problems during the initial setup of wireless keyboard and mouse.

    I ordered both online seprerately. I'm also using my television as the monitor. Pairing both products with my Mac Mini isn't working. These items did not come with my Mac Mini. I can't even access the set up menu as I can't get pass the initial User Language Screen because my keyboard fails to pair. Please help!

    It sounds like you need to borrow a wired keyboard so you can login and pair the devices using Bluetooth. Also try checking the batteries and whether the light is flashing when the keyboard/mouse are set up.

  • You tube video's are suddenly downloading as Quicktime movies instead of FLV's. Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it? Quicktime won't play the files. I use safari and snow leopard and all updates are installed. JulieS

    Is anyone else having this problem and how to fix it?

    There are no preferences for Quicktime 10, only for QT 7.
    Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
    Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link  even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
    (Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)
    For anything like Flash videos you should use QT 7.

  • Wireless Keyboard and Mouse how to for XP Bootcamp

    The promise of running Windows XP was marred by my inability to get the wireless keyboard to function in Windows during startup. Judging by the number of posts on this issue, I am not the only one who is frustrated. While didling with this issue I developed a sure fire, if somewhat un-Apple and in-elegant, way to get them to work.
    First you need to create a driver disk using the latest version of Bootcamp (I used version 1.1.1) and install them under XP using a wired keyboard and mouse.
    Now re-install the Apple Bluetooth drivers to make sure you have the latest version:
    1. Boot into Microsoft Windows.
    2. Open the Control Panel and select Bluetooth Devices.
    3. In the Hardware Tab, click Apple Built–In Bluetooth.
    4. Click the Properties button.
    5. Click the Driver tab.
    6. Click the Update Driver button and the Hardware Update Wizard will appear.
    7. Choose "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)".
    8. Deselect "Search Removable media".
    9. Select "Include this location this search".
    10. Click Browse.
    11. Navigate to c:/Program Files/Macintosh Drivers for Win XP/BthKicker/
    12. Once the update is done, reboot.
    Next we need to add the Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard (and wireless Mighty Mouse if you have).
    1. If you are using a desktop Mac, connect a wired USB mouse and keyboard.
    2. In windows, open the Control Panel and select "Bluetooth Devices".
    3. Turn Bluetooth Discovery to "On"
    4. Make sure your Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard is on.
    5. Click the Devices Tab.
    6. Click the "Add"button.
    7. When the "Welcome to the Add Bluetooth Device Wizard" window appears, select the "My device is set up and ready to be found" checkbox, then click Next.
    8. Locate the keyboard in the list the Wizard provides, then click Next.
    9. Connect and select the "Let me choose my own passkey" option.
    10. Enter "0000", then click Next.
    When the process has completed successfully, you will see this message: "The Bluetooth device was successfully connected". You should now be able to use your keyboard.
    On your next reboot in Windows, the logon screen will come up and neither your wireless mighty mouse or wireless keyboard will work. To activate the mouse, click one of it's buttons once or twice and it will start after a couple of seconds. unfortunately keyclicks will not start the keyboard.
    To get it to activate, turn the keyboard upside down and use the switch to turn the keyboard off and back on again. Wait about 6 seconds and voila! As I said, not elegant, but definately a lot better than having 2 keyboards. It would be nice if Apple could modify the firmware to start the keyboard when a key is pressed, just like the mouse.
    Have fun!

  • Trouble with keys on apple wireless keyboard and MBP

    I have attached my Apple wireless keyboard to my MBP and I want to use it with the onboard screen. It properly synced, and I know it reads the keyboard because the F keys work, and the delete button works, and it even can wake the computer from sleep mode. However the problem is quite simple, the alpha keys do not work. I can turn up my brightness, or volume cycle through my "spaces" on leopard but am still unable to type. I have looked all over for other cases of this and can not find it. Is it possible that the apple wireless MUST be used with an external monitor only? I have not attempted that yet because I have been away from my studio for a few weeks.
    If anyone could shed some light on this situation it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank You.

    The "wireless mouse/keyboard firmware update 1.1" is for the old white plastic wireless mice and keyboards , Sean. Is the one you are trying to use one of these, or is it one of the aluminium ones?
    If it is the aluminium one, then the update you might need is Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0 - http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/aluminumkeyboardfirmwareupdate10.html
    None of the updates should be needed to prevent the sort of problem you report though.
    Is this keyboard newly purchased, or one that you have had for a while and that ahs worked in the past? It may simply be defective.
    The only other thing I can think of, apart from conflict with a third party keyboard driver or the like, is a corrupted system file of some kind, in which case an "archive and install" of the OS might be needed to fix it I'm afraid.
    Cheers

  • I'm missing a HOME key on a new bluetooth wireless keyboard.

    Does anyone know where to find the HOME key on the new smaller bluetooth wireless keyboard? I spilled coffee on my full keyboard and can't bring it back to life. I need the HOME key for a music online service. It returns the playhead on trascription to start.

    You should be able to see the number in your system files/foldes by navigating to:

  • Cricket UM185C Broadband Modem and Snow Leopard 10.6.x

    Cricket has (fraudulently in my opinion) jettisoned support for the UM185C USB Broadband modem and Snow Leopard after very little time. I only paid for the UM185C less than 6 months ago and here I am with wasted money and a service I've paid for that is useless.
    Anyway, I saw here where intrepid forum users where able to get the Cricket A600 USB Broadband Modem and Snow Leopard to work together after a series of terminal hacks, etc.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2142240&start=15&tstart=0
    Is there any hope for making the UM185C work or should I simply discontinue service with Cricket and report them to the BBB for fraud and leave well enough alone.
    I think the fact that there's no mention of the UM185C in these forums tells me that most Mac users are ditching Cricket for broadband and I can't blame them. What an unethical company they are. By the way, want to have some fun? Try downloading the "mac" version of the driver from the Cricket site for the UM185C; it's an .exe file for Windows.

    Hi Cowicide Moo,
    My name is Ryan and I work in partnership with Cricket Wireless. We are sorry to hear about any confusion you may have encountered regarding the types of software supported by our various selections of broadband devices. On our website, we provide a clear list of modems and support software for customers to be able to determine the correct device to purchase for their computer.

    As you'll see, the UM185C is supported by Mac OS X Leopard (10.5+) and earlier, but does not currently support Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6+) 32-bit. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
    Best,
    Ryan on behalf of Cricket

  • Cyberduck - 3.3b4 and Snow Leopard

    I'm a photographer who must send large files out. I'm currently using the most updated version of Cyberduck (3.3b4)...Obviously Cyberduck has not fixed it's problem with Snow Leopard or vis-versa, because I get messages like "Upload failed. Pipe broken" just at the end of the upload, and I have to start over. Is there something else I can use beside Cyberduck with Snow Leopard, or can anymore tell me what I can do to use the current updated version of Cyberduck and Snow Leopard?
    Any answer very appreciated.
