Using two bluetooth keyboards in same room without conflict

Hello!
I´m looking for the solution for a very annoying problem. I have a macbook pro and my boyfriend has a macbook. We are booth using apple bluetooth keyboards. The problem is that it often happens that his kayboard is trying to connect to my macbook pro and vice versa. It is very disturbing because you have chose "deny connection" all the time wile you ae working. Or it happens that the bluetooth keyboard wakes the other ones Macbook/Pro. Is there someway to solve this problem. There must be thousand of people working with bluetooth devices in the same environment (area of 10 meters or whatever) or do we have to go back to wired keyboards for integrity?

Rapunsel,
My wife and I are using 2 apple bluetooth keyboards and 1 apple bluetooth mouse succesfully within around 4m of each other. I would suggest trying to re-pair both keyboards again. Turn off bluetooth on the other machine whilst re-pairing the keyboards in case this is causing any of the macs or keyboards any confusion.
Regards

HT3406 HOW DO I USE MULTIPLE DEVICES ON THE SAME ACCOUNT WITHOUT CONFLICTS ESPECIALLY USING FACETIME ?

Please help,
My daughter has an Ipod, I have an Iphone. Both are on my account. When she facetimes me, I will not go through. It looks to her Ipod like I am calling myself. How do I fix this?
Thanks, kniproduction

An iPhone can only be connected to a single copy of iTunes at a time for music, movies and videos, whether or not you set it to be manually managed. Manual management only allows you to control what you put on the iPhone; unlike with other models of iPod, it does not allow you to connect the iPhone to multiple computers. If you move the iPhone to another copy of iTunes, it will erase all the content and there's no way I know of to get around it. The only way to have all the same content on your iPhone when you connect to another computer is to get all that content into iTunes on the computer first.
Why that is I don't know, but that's the way it is.
'm well aware that there exist programs where I can pull everything off my phone and put it back on once its resynced, but I'm looking for different options.
There are no other options that I've heard of.

If I use the remote with two macbooks in the same room both of them answer

If I use the remote with two macbooks in the same room, the two of them answer. So if the person sitting near me is doing something else I interrupt them... this is quite annoying!
Does anyone know how to solve this? Should I report it as a bug? Where?

Hi Carito,
It is not a bug, all you have to do is pairing them.

Good Luck.

I have an Apple Ipad Air. I'm trying to use two bluetooth earphones at the same time. Can it be done?

I have an Apple Ipad Air. I'm trying to use two bluetooth earphones at one time. Only one works at a time. Can two be used at the same time? If so how do I get them to work?

The likely reason no one can connect to the mini when it is connected to your work VPN has more to do with your work than your home set up. The administrator at work would have to decide to allow for "split-tunneling", thereby allowing your mac to be connected to work and the outside world simultaneously.

Talk to the network admin at work.

Using two bluetooth adapters (not devices) together in OSX?

I was wondering if its possible to allow OSX to use two bluetooth adapters at the same time? In windows, when you plug in two adapters, it places two bluetooth icons in the system tray. It seems when I try this with OSX, the main adapter is used, and the secondary adapter gets listed as a keyboard im guessing, as a window pops up saying it doesnt recognise my keyboard (even though i own no bluetooth keyboards), and it shows up with an improper mac address with the main bluetooth adapter, but not as its own. Is there any way to make OSX notice the second adapter?
EDIT: I guess I should specify my reasoning for this. on windows, because of the way bluetooth works, ps3 controllers need to isolate the bluetooth adapter, rendering a bluetooth adapter solely for the ps3 controller. obviously this works in osx without isolation, but I noticed that since the ps3 controller pairs by mac address, using the same adapter results in only having to pair the controller to osx and windows once, rather than having to pair each time i switched between systems. Also, I would still like to use the second adapter as its own for pairing other devices.

Hi,
Thank for posting in Microsoft TechNet Forum.
Based on my research, two Bluetooth adaptors can work at same time.
In your case, the major problem is the dongle can’t start. I suggest you could test if the new Bluetooth adapter could work in another computer?
Meanwhile, the Code 10 error pertains mainly to hardware and device driver issues or to compatibility issues between hardware drivers and additional software
that is installed in Windows. Therefore, we recommend that you troubleshoot these issues by focusing on device drivers, on device configuration issues, and on hardware compatibility issues.
I recommend you could refer to:
Description of Code 10-related errors that Device Manager generates in Windows-based computers
Hope it helps.

Is there an app that will enable me to use emoji or emotions while using a bluetooth keyboard?

I have a Logitech keyboard and while I love this keyboard/cover - I just realized - I can't find a way to access the installed Emoji app I have like when I use the on-screen keyboard. When I'm using my bluetooth keyboard does this mean I have to give up Emoji?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Carol

Hi CarolV.,
Are you using a separate App, or the Emoji keyboard built into iOS6?
Although I don't have a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard, I tested with an Apple Bluetooth keyboard, iOS6, built in Emoji.
I was able to bring up the onscreen keyboard with the Eject button (upper right above the delete key) and using the onscreen keyboard I was able to press the World key to switch to the Emoji onscreen keyboard. As the Emoji "keyboard" is so graphic (switching images and selecting them) I had to use the onscreen option to select the desired Emoji.
Once the onscreen keyboard was visible, I could also change between keyboards with "Command - Space" on the Bluetooth keyboard.
So the questions become, does the Logitech keyboard have a media eject key? and does it bring up the onscreen keyboard? If not, does any other function key bring it up?
Let me know if that works. Like I said, I don't have a Logitech keyboard so I wonder how universal these options are.

How to switch the keyboard language when using a bluetooth keyboard?

When using the on-screen keyboard I have the little globe to switch languages, but when using a bluetooth keyboard the on-screen keyboard is hiden.
I want to be able to write in different languages using the bluetooth keyboard, also the auto-correct gets in the way if I write in a different language than english and it tries to change the words to the closest similar english word.
Help!

I see that now Tom, I'm sorry to confuse things. I think my problem might have been that I had the keyboard too far away from the phone, and so when I looked back from the keyboard to the phone, the screen indication of the languages had already disappeared from the screen. Because I have more than one language with Roman characters installed, I thought that no change was occurring from that sequence of commands, since I wasn't getting Korean. But now that I see your correction, and watch the screen closely, I see that you're right. I apologize. (And of course, I'm grateful to have a simpler way of switching languages!)

HT201178 when using apple bluetooth keyboard with iPad, hitting the enter/return key while typing in iMessage only adds another line not 'send' the message? is there a setting to change that somewhere?

Everywhere that I've checked it is not possible to do this. I would like to even do this using the vkb. I hate having to stretch my thumb all the way up just to send a message. It's messaging, not a report or email. Seems backwards. Hopefully some day Apple can add this option.

How can I send a message on my ipad 2 using my bluetooth keyboard

Hey All,
I would like the ability to send a iMessage using my bluetooth keyboard on my iPad. I don't know why this hasn't been addressed just yet, but would like to reach out to see what can be done to get this feature added. I also have noticed that the keyboard doesn't work very well when browsing the internet. I cannot use arrows or any combination of keys to scroll. Can this be added anytime soon? I really love the fact that I can now type comfortably using my bluetooth keyboard and don't want to go back to a laptop.
Thanks,

Since I upgraded to IOS 8 whenever I use kensignton bluetooth keyboard iin any mail app it scrolls up whenever I type message and I cannot see what I am typing. Is there a fix?

Since IOS8 upgrades I have had problem with my iPad Air whenever i use kensington bluetooth keyboard (an older one) whenever I type in body of mail message. It scrolls up so I cannot see what I am typiing. this is true on comcast connect app as well as mail app in iPad. Problem does not occur when i use keyboard in iPad air screen. First occurred with IOS 8, then disapeared wth later IOS 8 update, but has returned with most recent IOS 8 fix.
I have reset all settings, but problem persists.

I suspect problem is related to older Kensington keypad, however, I did see on a Google discussion group that someone suggested some changing of settings on iPad. Trouble is, I cannot find that group again. Any thoughts?

Is there a way to send a message from my IPAD using a bluetooth keyboard?

Is there a way to send a message from my IPAD using a bluetooth keyboard? There must be a way, but for the life of me I can't seem to find the shortcut. I'm using Logitech 811 keyboard and have an IPAD 2.
Thank you,

Are you asking if there is a way to press "Send" from the BT keyboard as opposed to reaching over and tapping it on the screen? Not to the best of my knowledge.
Looking at the posts in the More Like the Box to the right, I did find this link. It's old and may not be valid or useful:
