TS2662 My keyboard will pair with my iPad but will not pair with my MAC...any ideas?
I have had my iMac for 2 years now...I have never had a problem pairing my keyboard. The batteries died in my keyboard so I changed them and now I can't get the keyboard to pair to my iMac. I know the keyboard is fine and the batteries work because the keyboard will pair to my ipad. Any reason my iMac is having trouble pairing with the keyboard? Thanks!
If it is paired currently, you need to unpair it if you want to pair it back with the iMac.
As I said, it can only be paired to one device. If you want to use it with another, you need to unpair it first and then pair it with the other one.
And, if you need to sign in with your password to your Mac, you will need to borrow any USB keyboard to do so and to pair it; once it's recognized, you can use the wireless keyboard again.

How can I put a video in my Ipad from my pc? (I made this video with another Ipad, but if send it with Imessage, the quality is worse, if i try to put this video in Itunes it don't read it, if I try to put the video in Ipad like it is a normal pendrive i can't)
Okay, I figured out that Windows has "AutoPlay" settings which can automatically download photos and videos from a newly connected device, such as an iPad Mini. I think I could open it in Windows Explorer too that way but the auto download solved my problem.

I have an old iphone and have a new one as well. I would like to use my old on as an ipod but itunes not longer recognizes it. Any ideas? I have been using it for a month with no problems until tonight. I restarted my computer..still no fix.
Looks like its fixed. I am syncing it now. A lot of the answers are for the new iphone so i had to mess with a bunch of settings as well. My old phone is now an 8 gig ipod. the books app no longer works and that *****.....but better than nothing...

help ... after dowloading OS5 my new iPad 2 will not sync with my PC. the message is "USB not recognised" ... any ideas how to fix this?
I had same problem. By chance, I found a "work-around".
On a whim, I tried plugging the USB cable direct into the PC (its an old 'tower' model that sits under the desk) instead of into the port on the monitor. The PC suddenly recognised the iPad.
Why this makes any difference is a total mystery. But worth trying to see if it helps in your case. -
My Mac has stopped receiving mail. I have a mac.com address. Mail is still coming through to my iphone and my wife's ipad but nothing is coming through to my imac.I have mail from half an hour ago on the phone but nothing newer than 18 Feb on the mac. Everythng was working fine until recently and I have not touched any settings! Can anyone help?
So I tried something else recently and it seems to have fixed the issue. My mail is now getting new mail again and refreshing after waking from sleep without having to restart mail. Give it a try and hopefully it will help you too.
First, make sure your Mailbox List is visible (Shift + Control + M). Then select all of your inboxes, mailboxes, and folders (not just the root folder for nested folders, make sure to select them all). Then under the "Mailbox" menu, select "Rebuild."
It may take a while to rebuild them all if you have a lot, but like I said it seems to have done the trick for me. I hope that proves to be more of a long-term solution. -
cant access music sored in my icloud when using my lap top. any ideas?
iTunes imposes a 90 day wait period before a device can be associated with a different ID. If iTunes support only removed all devices associated with your ID, this does not override the 90-day wait period. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627:
"Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90 day timer. The timer must complete 90 days from the day the device was associated before it can be associated to another Apple ID."
Unless iTune support can override the wait period for you, you have no choice but to wait if you want to download it from iCloud. If your purchases music is on any of your iOS deivces, you can transfer it to the iTunes library on your computer by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in iTunes, Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting your device to your computer, opening iTunes, and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. -

Synchronizes with my iPad but doesn't synchronize with my iPhone
My iMac and my iPad synchronize via the cloud. But, my iPhone does not. The iPhone has a "*@mac" account whereas the iPad and iMac use my "@aol" address. Could this be the problem? If so, how can I change the iPhone (or the iPad/iMac for that matter)?
Thanks!The passcode and restrictions password can be two different codes. You need the restrictions password if it has been set up as different from the unlock passcode.

"Good" is a personal opinion, when it comes to audio gear. If there is an Apple Store nearby, you should take your EarPods there and ask if you can connect it to one of the display shuffles, and try it out.
In my personal opinion, the EarPods sound very good in general. -
My IPhoto library is gone and cannot be found. There is an IPhoto in Applications marked "original". I can find the one I'm looking for using Time Machine but when I try to open it it says that it cannot be opened as there is a newer version installed. Any help would greatly be appreciated:-)
Download and use Find Any File to search for the file "Library6.iPhoto" which is in every iPhoto Library package. If you find more than one check both to see if one is your missing library.

I Purchased season 5 of Downton Abbey and have downloaded episode 1. It will play on my iPad but will not play on Apple TV. Other movies and videos work fine. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?
OOur internet service is not always fast enough to stream directly on Apple TV which is why we want to use AirPlay from the iPad to Apple TV. When we try to play a movie it starts for one second and then crashes out. This does not happen with every TV show - we watched 8 episodes of Season 4 with no problem, but it would not play episode 9 or episode 1 of season 5.

I paired my apple Bluetooth keyboard with my iPad. Now I paired it with my iMac it shows paired but I cannot connect to it?
Hello:
Try this on your iPad:
Unpairing a Bluetooth accessory
If you've paired iPad with an accessory that you no longer wish to use, you can unpair the accessory.
From the Home screen choose Settings > General > Bluetooth. If Bluetooth isn't on, turn it on.
Choose the accessory and tap Unpair.

I have an iMac 8.1, OSX 10.6.8, Boot Camp 3.2 running Windows XP. My original keyboard (MB110LL/A) was damaged by a water spill. I ordered a new one from the Apple Store. They sent me MB110LL/B, function keys need updated drivers (Boot Camp 3.3) which will only install if Windows 7 is installed. I have a large amount of older software that runs under XP but not Windows 7. The Apple support team basically said "too bad". If they replace a keboard model with a new model, they should at least make it backwards compatable or provide a Boot Camp update that will allow this model to work on older iMacs. Reloading Bootcamp 3.3 several times has no effect because it does not detect Windows 7. Any Ideas or help would be appreciated.
It is free. It is beta. It works well - I use it on mine and two PCs as well...
MS Security Essentials will no longer install due to compatibiliity issues - that is the idea of a beta - and the RC could be out in June.
Windows 7 doesn't work great on any Mac, or Apple drivers, fan cvontrol to manage heat, and other issues.
Put 8 in and get to know it, then when the RC comes out you'll be ready -
