TS3048 Wireless keyboard for iMac has stuck battery. How do you remove it?

This is the second battery in the wireless keyboard.

Hello Reaper666uk,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your keyboard appearing at unexpected times. I recommend restarting your iPhone, followed by a reset if the restart does not help.
Restarting your iOS device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Resetting your device
You can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

HT2452 just got a replacement wireless keyboard for imac but comp doesn't recognize it and won't connect. can't type or use it. any suggestions?

Just got a relpacement wireless keyboard for my imac but the computer won't recognize it and b/c i can't use the keyboard (type) there's little troubleshooting i can do. how do i reconnect this? thanks!

You may need a wired keyboard to carry out some of these steps. It's a good idea to keep a cheap wired keyboard and mouse or trackball as backups for a desktop Mac anyway, because Bluetooth isn't completely reliable.
Step 1
Follow the instructions in these support articles:
How to set up your Apple Wireless Keyboard
Apple Wireless Keyboard: Difficulty during pairing process
Step 2
The keyboard should pair automatically when you reboot. You may have to press and hold the power button on the right side of an Apple keyboard until the LED starts flashing.
Step 3
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Reboot.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
See these support articles:
Bluetooth keyboard may not pair during Setup Assistant
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference
Bluetooth: Unreliable wireless performance may occur when USB 3.0 external devices are close
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Apple Wireless Keyboard (white version) has stuck light and won't pair

I never usually turn my keyboard off or shut down my computer, but a change of routine compelled to do so. My computer will turn on just fine, but now the my white Apple Wireless Keyboard has a stuck green light on the caps lock and the bottom switch. It is no longer pairing and can no longer be detected through OS's Bluetooth utilities. I have tried turning it on and off, replacing batteries, and even removing it from Bluetooth favorites.
Is the keyboard finally broken? Any light in this problem is helpful.
Currently using an iMac G5 20" 2.0 GHz (ambient sensor version) running Mac OS X 10.4.11.

Hi J.A:
It sounds suspiciously like a KB problem. Do you have access to another BT-equipped Apple or to an Apple store. If you do, you could try the KB there.
You could reset the PRAM to see if that helps (although I doubt it will):

Make a Service appointment for the keyboard at your local AASP.

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.

My iMac keeps typing a minus sign. I switched my wireless keyboard for a plug in Windows keyboard, and it keeps typing this one character. I took the batteries out of the Mac keyboard, so that is not the problem. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8.

Thanks for your observation. I realize they are different versions, but when I use the "Software Update" menu, this is as far as it would update. Is there some way to update the iMac beyond what "Software Update" does? I've tried it several times.
Please Note.
Upgrading OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) to 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion) is not an update. It is a paid upgrade. Just as with 10.7 (Lion) you must purchase it from the App Store with yor Apple ID and install it after backing up your current computer state for safety.

No connection between wireless keyboard and IMac

I had to change batteries in my wireless keyboard for my Imac. After that I did not manage to reestablish the connection between the keyboard and the machine. I did not manage to get the blue tooth going again before I went to bed and the session timed out , my IMac is now locked and since my keyboard does not work I am not able to type the password. How can I solve this?

Are the batteries installed properly? Have you tried other batteries?
Have you read for possible solutions over in the "More Like This" thread over here?----------------------->
Plan B: It's a good idea to keep a wired keyboard as a standby. Suggest that you get hold of one.

I have bought the wireless keyboard for my iPad. I was working for a day but now the power light won't stay on and as such won't connect to the iPad. I have changed the batteries but still no difference.

Not knowing which wireless keyboard you bought, it is difficult to be specific. but ...
it is quite normal for the keyboard's power light not to stay on - it is a way of conserving battery power.
Try this:
turn you keyboard off
on your iPad go to Settings > Bluetooth
if your keyboard is listed under Devices, then touch the little blue i to its right and choose Forget this Device
now reset your iPad: hold both the Home and Power buttons down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears, let go promptly when the Apple logo appears and wait another 30 seconds for your iPad to turn itself on
After your iPad is back on again go back to Settings > Bluetooth
now turn your keyboard back on and see if it appeard under Now Discoverable
if it doesn't read your keyboard guide to figure out how to put it into Discovery mode
touch the listing for your keyboard under Now Discoverable, it should now appear under Devices
touch the listing for you keyboard under Devices, and choose to pair with it.

Wireless keyboard for Palm TX and Adobe reader update?

I am considering purchasing a wireless keyboard for a Palm TX. Will the 3169WW work? If purchased new, what driver will it come with ( what driver do I need?). How universal is this keyboard? I have Adobe Reader 3.05 on the TX. Should I be looking for a newer version. Thank You!
Post relates to: Palm TX

I just deployed a "new (!) TX and the Palm Bluetooth Keyboard, after years of using the Tungsten T3. For the most part I'm happy with both. There's just a little downside to the keyboard, that is, the lack of a key combination to duplicate the Graffiti stroke that involkes shortcuts (these are the mostly custom texts that you set up in Prefs to insert by making the stroke followed by just one or two or three characters). On the Ultrathin Keyboard, which I used with the T3, the fn-ctrl combination made the shortcut stroke on the screen, after which I could type (for example) "dts," which would insert a date and time stamp. I think the Palm infrared wireless keyboard does the same thing. If there is such a functionality on the BT keyboard, it's not documented and I cannot find it. (I suspect that it may have been left out because it may be mostly used with smartphones, Treo series etc., which have the hardware keyboards and so dispense with Graffiti, but I use the Graffiti shortcuts a lot, so this omission makes me a somewhat unhappy camper. If anyone has discovered a way to invoke this function on the BT keyboard, I would be very interested.)

Nokia Wireless Keyboard for N90.

I have not long purchased the Nokia Wireless Keyboard for my N95. Which works perfectly. I decided to use it with my N90 which I have the latest firmware for and each time I try to install the Wireless Keyboard application I contunue to get the error message: File Corrupt. I have downloaded this file several times from the Nokia Website. But it still doesnt work. I have also tried to install it with the Memory card that came with the Keyboard but I get a Error message saying unknown certificate!!!
Any ideas. My N90 is Simfree.

Hi all just to let you know I was able to sort my little problem regarding installing new software and also the Nokia Wireless Keyboard to my N90. It has something to do witht the dates. If I have the phone set at 2007 then I cannot install any of the original sfotware that you can download from the Nokia Website. But if I change my date to 2006 or 2005 I can install them with no problem at all. I have only experienced this since I have updated my firmware to the latest version.
Thanks

No. The iPad's port won't put out enough power. You could probably plug your keyboard into your iPad charger and charge it that way, but it won't charge off the iPad.

Have you tried to go into bluetooth and telling it to forget your keyboard?
Drastic but might enable you to repair the devices and see if it clears up the glitch.
I had a period of time when my iPad always sensed and used my bluetooth keyboard. I think it finally went away after I powered down the iPad. (not just a put to sleep, a bonafide 'slide the red slider to shut it down' powering down.

Can not locate wireless keyboard for my iPad

My wireless keyboard for my ipad is no longer displayed on the screen that the Bluetooth app is.
I have tried everything.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Do you mean that when you go into Settings > Bluetooth > your wireless keyboard is not listed under devices?
If so:
make sure your keyboard is charged.
turn your keyboard off, reset your iPad, turn the keyboard back on, see if it shows up, put it in discovery mode see if it shows up
to reset your iPad:
Hold both the Home button and the Power button down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
Let go promptly when it appears.
Wait 30 seconds or so for your iPad to restart.
No information or settings will be lost.

Wireless keyboard for 1st generation iPad

I have a 1st generation iPad. Which Bluetooth keyboard is compatible with it? I was told by the sales people at Best Buy that no wireless keyboard would work.

Hello jasangas,
It sounds like you are trying to download the iTunes U app from its page in the App Store but the version that it is downloading is for a newer iOS version. Try going to your purchased history and downloading it from there:
Here's how you install an earlier version of an app:
Open the App Store (with iOS 4.3.3 or later) or Mac App Store (with OS X Mountain Lion only).
Go to the Purchased screen (iOS) or Purchases tab (OS X).
Select the app you want to download.
From: App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
