TS3048 My wireless apple keyboard doesn't pair w/ a brand new iMac

Any help?

Hello:
Try resetting the SMC.

P.S.  If the KB was paired with another device, you would need to delete it from that device.

  • How to fix wireless apple keyboard that ceased pairing with imac at the same time the keyboard on my ipad2 disappeared right after I updated osx vs. 10.8.5 sent out by Apple

    I updated to OSX vs. 10.8.5 sent out by Apple on Oct 4,2013. My wireless
    Apple keyboard is no longer paired to my imac and at the same time I noted that the keyboard on my ipad2 no longer exists. At first I thought it was an icloud issue but am wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem.

    I downloaded 10.8.5 Supplementary and this time there was a picture of my keyboard with the suggestion that I power it on, which I did many times. Finally re-booted my imac and shut down BlueTooth on my ipad. I now have a keyboard back on the ipad and my wireless keyboard on the imac is working.

  • Wireless apple keyboard will not pair/connect to new mac mini

    So, I cannot complete setup and use the computer.  The keyboard IS discoverable by my macbook air.

    Same with my new mac mini.
    Got it brand new via the online shop.
    Happy to start with the new mac i really got dissapointed by the fact that it`s impossible to pair the wireless keyboard unless you first connect a USB keyboard to the mac mini and start the configuration.
    THIS ***** !!!
    No hint at all from apple that you first have to connect the USB keyboard.
    I had to borrowed a USB keyboard from my neighbour :-((
    After setting things up it was no problem at all to establish the BT connection with the keyboard.
    Works fine now.

  • TS3048 My wireless apple keyboard for my Imac has gone haywire.

    The wireless keyboard for my iMac has gone haywire. The signal to the computer appears to be corrupted. When I turn it on it automatically fills in all the spaces in the box where I am supposed to type in my password at startup in order to complete booting up. It will not allow me to erase any of the letters to properly type in the password, but repaetedly fills in the spaces to capacity. It will also affect & turn on the audio volume & just goes mad until I turn it off when the computer returns to normal - although of course this means that I am unable to log in to access anything. Tried changing the keyboard batteries but no different. Any thoughts please??

  • TS3048 My wireless apple keyboard is not being recognized by any of my macs.

    The green light is flashing on it indicating it is in discovery mode, but none of my devices can find it. I have tried taking out the batteries and resetting it and resetting my computer.  My iMac can't find it along with me retina macbook and my ipad or iphone.

  • My wireless Apple keyboard won't connect, it just keeps blinking to pair, but nothing connects. I even tried hooking up another wireless I have and it does the same thing. Should I delete it and set it up again?

    Hey Apple Health,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities! There's an article that helps to resolve issues with wireless keyboards. I'd take a look at it, go through the troubleshooting steps, and see if that resolves the issue for you:

  • I have a macmini on order, I wonder if I can pair the wireless apple keyboard and magic touchpad without using any other input devices, especially, since everything is brand new and not yet paired.

    I have a macmini on order, I wonder if I can pair the wireless apple keyboard and magic touchpad without using any other input devices, especially, since everything is brand new and not yet paired.

    You may just want to save yourself any possible issues
    by just hooking up a wired keyboard and mouse on first
    start up.  Any USB keyboard and mouse should work.
    There have been many that have had problems on first boot
    using the Bluetooth devices. 

  • Brand New Bluetooth Keyboard doesn't pair at startup on MAC Lion Server

    Hi,
    Just got a new Mac Lion Server Mac Mini and went to set up last night. 
    Apple logo and chime comes up.  Then the screen to turn on Bluetooth Keyboard and Magic Mouse comes up.  I turned on the power on the mouse and keyboard.  The keyboard doesn't pair and the mouse does.  As soon as the computer realizes the mouse is connected, it moves on to the setup screens (username, server setup etc.) and doesn't care that the keyboard is not set up yet.  Of course, since I cannot type usernames etc. for the server, I get stuck.
    I rebooted (hard power shutdown) several times in the hope that one time (accidently) the keyboard would be picked up but no such luck.
    My PS3 recognized the Apple Keyboard so it's not the keyboard.
    I didn't have a USB keyboard around so I have to wait till tonight to try to set up.  I have a couple of questions.
    1.  Anything with Mac Mini defective?  Is it something for me to worry about?
    2.  After I use the USB Keyboard, will my system recognized the Apple keyboard and keep it memorized.  I don't have a problem doing a one time setup in this fashion, but if it continues then I'd like to nip it in the bud.
    3.  Should I take it to the Apple store?
    Thanks for all you help.

    This is an all too common issue.  It happened for me as well.  I don't think there's anything defective on your mini.  I used a wireless keyboard (USB) to complete the setup.  Once I was in Lion, I paired my Apple BT keyboard and haven't had a problem since.

    Hi Barry,
    You seem to have solutions ?
    Do you know why iPhone 5 could not be paired by Bluetooth
    with MacBook Pro  Snow Leopard  10.6.8 ?

    I'm not sure how old it is, but it is covered for 1 full year as long as it didn't take that 19 story dive.

  • Help with very slow connection if apple tv linked to wireless apple keyboard

    My husband and I trying to connect the wireless Apple keyboard to our Apple tv so we can get rid of the pesky and cumbersome Apple tv clicker. However, when we do so, our connection slows to a crawl and we cannot access sites like Netflix et al. We disconnected Bluetooth from our Mac Book Pro as we noticed that the keyboard serves only one master. This did not fix the problem. We are at our wits' end. Your help would be immensely appreciated.
    Oh, and also, I had been thinking of installing AirPort Utilty. Is this a good idea and why do I not see it in the AppStore, only on websites of dubious provenance?
    Thousand thanks,
    J and F
    Er, and while we're at it, why do we need to choose between my apple address and my husband's when we set up homesharing? This is another clunky thing that simply is opaque.

    However, when we do so, our connection slows to a crawl and we cannot access sites like Netflix et al.
    Not caused by the keyboard.  It connects via BluTooth, the video services over eithernet.  They have nothing to do with one another.  There is something else going on.  Have you tried connecting ATV via a wired connection instead of WiFi.
    why do we need to choose between my apple address and my husband's when we set up homesharing?
    Because you can only use one AppleId.  It would be a huge leagal mess if it displayed content from multiple accounts at the same time.  The copyright holders would never allow it.

  • Apple TV + wireless Apple Keyboard?

    Will an update for the Apple TV be offered that allows me to use my wireless apple keyboard?

    While I would have liked the keyboard when entering the wireless passphrase, unless Apple starts putting more apps that need a keyboard (i.e.: Twitter) the probablility of keyboard support seems pretty low. 
    You can suggest to Apple to add keyboard support and appropriate apps:

  • 2 batteries stuck in my wireless apple keyboard...any ideas?

    2 batteries stuck in my wireless apple keyboard....any ideas?

    One of them must have leaked and/or swollen in there — not a good situation. I'm afraid there is no way of getting them out that you haven't probably thought of already, and if there has been any leakage, there won't be any good way to clean it up even if you get the batteries out.
    I would try to jolt them loose my tapping the end of the keyboard with the end of the battery compartment open on a firm surface that is softer than the aluminum shell and won't mar it, e.g. a block of 2x4 lumber, and hope for the best.
    What type of batteries are they: alkaline (best for this use), lithium, or NiMH?

  • Wireless Apple Keyboard connection lost message

    I couldn't find a better place to post this so I am just posting here. On my Mac Mini connected to my TV I have a bluetooth wireless apple keyboard. Works great except when watching a movie and the keyboard goes to sleep. I get this connection lost message on the screen that keeps coming up at various times. Is there a way to disable that message so the movie isn't interrupted with that message flashing up on the screen?

    Interesting, mine were at 68% so I've just changed them, will report back here if that's helped.
    But it's worrying if it is the answer since this update is supposed to help save battery power!
    I don't really want to keep on changing my batteries when they are still well over half full. I'm keen to know if you still get the problem in the next few days.
    One interesting point, I allow my keyboard to wake my mac from sleep. I find that if I sleep my mac, within a minute or so it wakes again and immediately shows the keyboard disconnect pop-up. So what I think is happening is the bluetooth control inside the keyboard is turning off transmit and back on again.
    I'm going to ask Apple how to roll-back the update.
    Let me know if you start to get disconnected again, I'll do likewise.
