TS3048 Indicator on the keyboard keeps blinking every 3 seconds? It is not connecting to desktop

Switched on my iMac, and it went in to Bluetooth Keyboard Setup and doesn't recognize my keyboard. Keyboard is switched on and repeatedly blinking everyb3 seconds.

Hello Atosh,
It is certainly difficult to use the computer if your wireless keyboard does not connect or stay connected.  I found a few resources I recommend for this issue.
I recommend reviewing this article first:
Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3048
If the issue persists, I recommend reviewing the section titled "Top troubleshooting tips" in the article below.  Step 9 specifically stands out to me for the issue you described:
9. Restart your computer
Sometimes a simple restart of your Mac is all it takes to get things running smoothly again. You may also want to try resetting your computer's PRAM and NVRAM.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • When using Hotmail in FF, the tab keeps blinking between "Hotmail - my email address" and "Connecting." I do have the most recent update of FF. My hotmail account was hacked recently, so I'm concerned that it is a bug. Any suggestions?

    I noticed this issue the same day my email account was hacked.

    That may be a problem with JavaScript on the Hotmail site that MS needs to fix.<br />
    I'm also seeing issues like that when I access Hotmail.
    You can search the Hotmail forum to see if that issue has been reported.

  • Qosmio X500 won't start and the power LED is blinks every 5 seconds

    Hi,
    I need help my X500 won't start now. I tried to start the NB as usual and suddenly the X500 wont boot or even power up.
    If I press power button it doesnt make any sound, the power LED on button and the second power LED just bliks once and turns of, and keep blinking every 5 seconds.
    I tried to:
    * remove battery and power up with AC only
    * power with battery only
    * remove battery hold power button for 30 seconds and more athen power with AC only, battery only
    but it didn't helped.
    I checked the AC & Battery LEDs, but they are not flashing, they are just RED, so there is not proble in battery or AC.
    Any idea where could be the problem?
    Thanks for help

  • Apple logo blinking every 3 seconds - nothing to do with iphone

    Hi all!
    I was using my iPhone, with its battery more than 70%, but suddently it tuned off by itself. I tried restarting though on/off button and home button, but it didn't start. I tried recharging and it didn't work as well. When I tried to connect to iTunes, the phone was not detected as usual. Then, the screen only showed the apple logo blinking every 3 seconds. I also tried updating my itunes, yet it still had no effect. Any other advice how to solve this problem? Thanks.

    Force the phone into recovery mode, as described here, & restore it:

    If that doesn't work, make an appointment at any Apple store.

  • Dock not showing at startup and the monitor keeps blinking

    Hello,
    I've had my macbook pro for about 2 years - it's a late 2011 model. I have all the latest updates installed and the latest operating system (10.9.2).
    A couple of months ago I started having some issues with it - like one of the usb's not working (had to reset SMC) and mail suddenly marking mails as unread (this solved it: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24908508#24908508).
    Now, for the second time, when I startup the laptop, the dock won't show and the monitor keeps blinking and the system is very slow. When it happened for the first time I decided to shut down the mac and waited some minutes before starting it up again. The problem didn't show up again. Now, a day later, the same thing is happening. Clearly this problem is not going away. Yesterday, after the problem I went and repaired the disc's permissions, hoping it was something caused by it.
    Hoping someone here can help me with this issue, please.
    Update:
    So I managed to open finder and move a folder that I had previously downloaded away from the downloads folder (I read that tip from someone in a similar thread) and the dock showed up suddenly and the desktop stopped blinking.
    Either way, that doesn't mean the problem won't show up again. So if anyway has any clues has to what should I be doing with my mac (do I need to rebbot it?), since lately I keep having a lot of issues with it...

    Ok so now I have this problem pratically everytime I startup the laptop. I know I have to move some files around (it doesn't have to be in the downloads folder, now it happens in the desktop as well) for it to stop. But this is pretty anoying. I'm looking for a permanent solution ofr this problem. Can someone help me, please?

    I am using apple iPod-suffle model,I am unable to upload music into iPod and 3 lights(green,orange and red) keeps blinking for few seconds when I connect my iPod to my PC and after few seconds its turn to unresponce mode,Plz help to find out solution.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Solid green light with blink every 5 seconds

    I use this shuffle on my windows xp pc. When it was time to charge the (first gen) shuffle, I connected it to powered USB, as usual. After plugging it in I got a solid green light with a blink every 5 seconds. I then tried plugging it into the wall adapter charger with the same outcome. I left it overnight to charge and upon checking the battery, it's still red/orange.
    Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?
    Thanks

    Does this mean I have to buy a new one, or is the
    battery replacable? I haven't even owned it for a
    full year.
    Take it to an Apple Store... they'll replace it.

  • Videos keep reloading every 30 seconds or so.

    I have the latest flash player, but videos continue to keep loading every 30 seconds or so, stopping briefly at each point. How can I correct this problem?

    There are a few things to try. It looks like your video driver needs to be updated. We have an article with some information and instructions here - [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Also you have many add-ons, each of which uses some memory and some of your cpu resources. If the graphics driver doesn't improve the situation you should consider updating to Firefox 13 and running the Firefox reset - [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

  • HT3887 my bluetooth says 'Not Available' how do i get it to work again. I have restarted the computer several times and have replaced the batteries in both the keyboard and mouse and yet it still is not working! please help

    my bluetooth says 'Not Available' how do i get it to work again. I have restarted the computer several times and have replaced the batteries in both the keyboard and mouse and yet it still is not working! please help

    I have had the same problem. It was cured by turning computer off and/or restarting it. I am not sure  if once was enough. I think shutting down must cut out whatever it is that blocks bluetooth. Good luck

  • I dropped my iphone, it cracked (it alredy had some cracks in it) and the screen is black but sometimes has a background light.. When i plug it in to charge or to the computer it vibrates every 10 seconds and itunes does not recognize it. What can I do?

    I dropped my iphone 4 pretty hard, it cracked (although it already had a few cracks in it) and now the screen is black but sometimes has a background light turn on and then off. Holding the home button and off button at the same time do not work. When I plug it in to charge or to the computer it vibrates every 10 seconds and itunes does not seem to recognize it. It gets really really hot when plugged in (which I don't think is normal).  icloud does not recognize it under "find my iphone" either. What could the problem be? I am wondering if dropping it dislodged something inside. if so, what did I dislodge and is it possible to fix this myself?
    Thanks

    Sounds like that drop was a critical one, my friend. I would make an appointment at your nearest Apple Retail Store, because you're going to need a replacement. Also as a side note: the reason that the charger is making the phone vibrate over and over is because there is a disconnect somewhere in the charge port of the phone, causing it to plug in and out over and over.

  • When I open the settings and messages of the iPhone 4s I get stuck in a white screen, what should I do? the keyboard to open there is minute, I can not open the settings in any way.

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.

  • There was a problem connecting to the server...please check the share name..every 3 seconds.  made computer useless

    there was a problem connecting to the server...please check the share name..every 3 seconds.  made computer useless. Lion.  It only complains about one of my PCs that usually shares OK with the imac.

    First, restart the Time Capsule by disconnecting the power adapter and reconnecting it. If other devices on the network can see it, you can skip this step.
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
    Click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate to unlock the settings, if necessary. Click the Advanced button, then select the TCP/IP tab in the sheet that drops down. Click Renew DHCP lease.
    Try again to back up.
    If you still can't, open the Time Machine preference pane and delete the TC from the list of backup destinations. You may have to unlock the settings by clicking the lock icon in order to do this. Then add it back.
