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??

    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.

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

    Any help?

    Hello:
    Try resetting the SMC.
    Barry
    P.S.  If the KB was paired with another device, you would need to delete it from that device.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • Can i use a non-apple keyboard with my imac?

    can i use a non-apple keyboard with my imac?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can use the keyboard you want with your iMac. However, note that some keys, as the Command key, aren't present in non-Apple keyboards. For example, in a non-Apple keyboard, you have to press the Windows key because that's the replacement of the Command key of an Apple keyboard

  • 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:

  • Does anyone know where I can get a replacement keyboard for my imac G5 power PC purchased in December 2005

    Does anyone know where in the UK or Ireland I can get a replacement keyboard for my imac G5 power PC purchased in December 2005. Running Mac OSX 10.4.1.1?

    Not sure where in Ireland to look, but be aware that SOME Apple Aluminum boards will work with 10.4.11. The first Al boards and those through the first few months of 2011 were compatible with any Mac running OS 10.4.11 and having USB ports. Then they changed them to require 10.6.8 for full function.
    The ones compatible with 10.4.11 (MB110LL/A) have the icon for Dashboard on the F4 key; the later ones (MB110LL/B) have an icon consisting of six tiny rectangles grouped to form a larger rectangle. The keyboard boxes are nearly identical except for:
    the system requirements printed on the front panel
    the back panel on the first model reads "Keyboard" where the newer model reads "Keyboard with Numeric Keypad."
    When looking for older parts, always consider a Mac User Group:

  • 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?

  • I bought a new keyboard for my iMac (10.5) but the f1,f2,f3, etc. buttons don't work. Rather, f14 is the adjustment for brightness. How do I change it back to normal?

    Certain older Macs can't use later version Apple keyboards.
    Various aluminum models were compatible with later model
    G5 PowerMac and iMac, while the older could only use older
    model keyboards. Third party USB keyboards from a variety
    of makers other than Apple may work OK.
    Be sure the Mac OS X is updated to the last Combo and
    then see if there is any other software update is available.
    Not sure now (years have gone by) if there was a firmware
    update applicable to the older Macs so they could use later
    metal keyboards. I'd found several white USB polycarbonate
    Apple keyboards to work with most of the last PPC Macs;
    and bought spares as available, metal / newer didn't work
    with mine. Several white plastic ones can work w/ intelmac.
    There were keyboard model numbers (Apple) noted to work
    with aluminum PowerMac G5, while others that look other-
    wise identical (except number on keyboard) did not work...
    Too new, and they weren't supported. Worked w/Intel-Mac.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Bluetooth Wireless Apple Keyboard comes with Energizer batteries? Can't seem to register my new keyboard too.

    Bluetooth Wireless Apple Keyboard comes with Energizer batteries? Can't seem to register my new keyboard too.
    I bought this new keyboard from the Ala Moana Store and was surprised to open the sealed box with two Energizer AA batteries inside. I didn't know batteries were supplied. The road clear plastic seal over the battery door was also missing. I am a little suspicious that this was a resealed return item.
    The next thing I am trying to do is get it registered (like all my other apple items) just in case this turns out to be a lemon, but I can't seem to find a way to add it to my other items. There's no category 'Bluetooth' or 'Keyboard' in the equipment selection list.
    So here's my question, did I get a used item that was resealed and put on the shop shelf? Someone else paid for this so it isn't showing up on my list of items. I would like to add it.
    Thanks.
    Mike

    Hello Mik:
    You cannot register a KB.  Apple does not keep a database of peripheral devices.
    I would question the store about the unwrapped batteries....  I would suspect that the device was returned by someone else.

  • 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.
