Unpair wireless keyboard when old mac is gone

I had to exchange my old mac mini. How do I unpair my wireless keyboard and magic trackpad without the original MacMini? Thanks

I figured it out. Sorry for the amateur question. I just switched from PC to Mac and feel like a fish out of water. Thanks.

Can I hook up a wireless keyboard to my mac mini 2005 running OS X 10.4.11? if so how?

The original Mac Mini does have Bluetooth, see > Mac mini (original) - Technical Specifications
Of course it also depends on what wireless keyboard you mean...?
For more on setting up an Apple wireless keyboard, see > Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
For more buying and/or using a third party wireless keyboard with a USB dongle, google the manufactures web site for compatibility and set-up information.

HT201178 My old wireless keyboard malfunctioned. How can i pair a new wireless keyboard when I can't even log in to access the setup?

Should I have purchased a wired keyboard?

First make sure the batteries aren't dead and that the keyboard hasn't already been paired with another device. If it hasn't, 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.
Otherwise see these support articles:

If you have a third-party Bluetooth keyboard, you may need a wired keyboard to complete the pairing process. 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.

Wireless keyboard pairing to mac mini

Trying to pair a brand new wireless keyboard and a trackpad to a brand new mac mini.
The track pad is pairing but not the keyboard.....
The Keyboard, however can be paired against my Ipad so it doesnt seem to be broken.

see > Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
Unpair it from your iPad and work thru the keyboard sections of the above article.

After mavericks updating ,i cant pair my wireless keyboard keyboard working but just not pairing , plus my mac is logged out for logging in to reach the preferences i need my keyboard back any help would be here? Ps: i dont have another keyboard to connect .

For the both of you.
Turn your Mac on, wait until the login screen appears.
Turn off your keyboard, wait several seconds. Hopefully a "Keyboard turned off" or "Keyboard disconnected" comes up. Then remove the batteries.
Turn the Mac off then turn it back on.
When it turns back on, it should say missing keyboard or something of the sort. Put the batteries back into the keyboard and turn it back on. Hopefully it should start talking again.
It sounds like you two have a Mac that doesn't have a built-in keyboard. So you could easily reset the SMC...

"Sticky" keys on apple's wireless keyboard when typing on my ipad.

I am using apple's wireless keyboard on my ipad. It has worked fine for four months but then last night the keys got "sticky", typing any letter I'm hitting continually until I hit escape. Does anyone know how to set it back to normal typing?
The on screen keyboard works fine (I'm using it now), but when i switch to the wireless this happens:
I cannnnn't't't tttttyppeeeeeeee noormallyyyyyyy...............
I tried changing batteries but that didn't help either. Would really appreciate comments/help!!

Do you have a computer with Bluetooth that you can test the keyboard with?
Have you tried going into Settings on the iPad and under Bluetooth tried forgetting the device? You should see the keyboard listed as a device. Pressing the arrow in the blue circle should present an option to forget the device.

I disconnected my Wireless Keyboard from my Mac and I am logged out! Please help?

So, I was trying to test out the Wireless Keyboard for my iPad, so I disconnected it from the computer and logged out. So now I am logged out and I can't even log in without my keyboard! What should I do? I have another keyboard in the house that works via USB, should I use it?

Hi
I have the same problem. Did you use the USB keyboard and works? Did you log in again?
Youd answer will be very helpful to me!

FrontRow, Remote, & Wireless Keyboard for Power Mac G5

I have a very simple question. If I upgrade from Tiger to Leopard, I would like to be able to operate Front Row from my couch. My PowerMac G5 did not come with Bluetooth capability, so how do I 1) make my computer operable with the wireless Mac keyboard, and/or 2) how to I make computer operable with the Apple remote?
Thanks,

Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
You need a bluetooth adapter for the keyboard.
For the remote, you need a USB IR receiver.

HT201178 Wireless Keyboard Help

I recently set up my wireless keyboard from my Mac to my Ipad. However, I my Mac went to sleep and now I can't even log in because the keyboard is not paired with my Mac. How do I set up my wireless keyboard when my Mac is in sleep Mode?

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.

I have 2 Apple Wireless Keyboards (old style, not flat) that will not pair.

Hello.
I own a MBpro, A Mac Pro, and a Mac Mini. I have 2 Apple Wireless Keyboards (the old style with the extended keyboard and transparent case with white keys). Neither keyboard will pair on any system.
The Macs see one of the keyboards just fine but refuse to pair it when I type the 8-digit pass phrase and the return key. Also no luck if I try without a passkey. The other keyboard cannot even be detected by any system.
Is this keyboard design just plain defective? This is the third one (there's also one at work) that refuses to pair. If I have to purchase another one, then this one will end up smashed on Apple's showroom floor. I've about had it with these things.
Please help if you can.

Hello Steve:
I have not had a similar problem so I am fishing a bit. I think the problem is rooted in what I thought in my previous post.
Now, how to fix it?
Try this:
Go to system preferences>bluetooth. Delete any KB entries there. Trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist). Be sure that on and discoverable are checked in the BT preference pane. Restart your computer.
Hopefully, whatever KB you have turned on will be "discovered."

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??

Mac Mini won't discover new Aluminum wireless keyboard

I have a new aluminum wireless keyboard that my mac mini running 10.5.8 will not discover (although new iMac 21.5 running 10.6.1 will). The Apple website says to use "Aluminum Keyboard Software Update 2.0" with the keyboard but I can't find that anywhere. I could find the "BluetoothFirmwareUpdate2.0.1" but it said my computer did not need that and wouldn't install it. Do I need that Aluminum Keyboard Software Update 2.0 and where can I find it (I looked all over the download site)? A link would be great!

I tried to locate that same software too. It is not yet available. I have the same issue probably. The bluetooth just does not recognise the keyboard. Although normal type pad is usable. Hot keys are a mess.. Any info would be very much appreciated.

Are the apple wireless keyboards and mac book pro keyboards the same size?

Are the apple wireless keyboards and the mac book pro keyboards the same size? I have the most current wireless keyboard and I use it with my iPad. Thanks in advance

I took it to the same shop where i purchased they sent it to the apple
service centre and it is a week and no one informed me abt the problem
or the action on it.
We are mainly just users to users here, and sometimes a Apple folk will respond, but it's just a direction to a Apple support document, no service or account issues are handled here.
Will they replace the mac book pro as it is still in warranty
We don't know what Apple will decide to do in your case, the best source of information is the shop you brought it to.
They might be in the process of fixing it, or they might be deciding they need to keep your machine for investigation.
Apple will take care of you, make sure you buy AppleCare and a external drive for TimeMachine if you haven't already.

I cant establish a connection between Mac mini and the wireless keyboard

I just bought a Mac mini but I can't link the wireless keyboard with the Mac mini

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.
