Why does my wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting?

I have a wireless track pad and keyboard (no number pad) that I use at school. I have to use a usb bluetooth adapter because the Mac Pro the school has does not have native bluetooth. My trackpad works flawlessly but my keyboard has problems. Most of the time it can not connect at all and the few times that it has connected it disconnects very soon, even while i am in the middle of typing something. This is very annoying. I have changed the batteries with a fresh pair and still the problem persists. Please help me, this is very aggrivating.

My normal suggestion would be to make the KB a favorite, but I am not sure that would work at your school.

  • Why does my wireless keyboard keep shutting off?

    Why does my wireless keyboard keep shutting off?
    It is not the batteries.

    More experience leads me to believe the problem is with the new iMac.  If I get the network going by turning AirPort Extreme power off, then on, I see a good signal at my iMac. Experience shows the network drops off after several hours. But yesterday I turned the iMac off, and the network remainded up (I could see it on my iPhone and iPad) throughout the night.  That's the first time that has happened since I got the new iMac.  Never had this issue with the old machine. I transferred all file to the new machine from a Time Machine backup that was up-to-date.  Am working with Apple support. They had me do a re-boot of the AirPort and will call back tomorrow AM to learn it did not solve the problem, but turning off the iMac does.  Darn.

  • Wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting and reconnecting

    My Wireless Keyboard keeps disconnecting and reconnecting and typing by it self!! any ideas?

    Hi,
    Yes believe it or not my problem was caused by the keyboard being too close to the iMac display, the bluetooth was infering with the other radio signals coming from the antenna, it needs to be at least 1ft away from the display (30cm) to prevent this (this won't help those of you with small computer tables/desks)
    Hope this works for you....

  • HT1338 my wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting for no reason, I press the side button and it connects again.  Frustrating.

    My wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting for no reason.  Frustrating especially when you are going full on and nothing there.  I press the button on the side and it connects again.  Happening more frequently.  Purchased in March. 
    Any ideas would be most appreciated.

    I just have to ask, Is the battery due to be replaced by any chance?
    Hope this helps

  • Why does my wireless keyboard always become disconnected then reconnected to the wifi all the time?

    So I have a brand new imac and the wireless keyboard always switches between connected and disconnected randomly.  I have another identical keyboard I bought a few months ago and it works fine.  Any energy saver functions that could be doing this?

    Same prob here. Brand new out of the box apple wireless keyboard with FULL batteries, bought after buying my newish Mac Mini w/o keyboard.
    ...keeps losing the connection from about 8 'line of sight' feet away (going through Tv to view Mac)
    Not sure why a properly working Mini would have to be forced to do an SMC/PRAM reset for something new off the shelf and supposedly working (works very nice with NO signal loss or early sleep with my samsung tab)...to have to do these resets seems very 'windows like' for every new peripheral you buy down the road.
    My guess would be that apple made the choice to tinker the .plist for wireless items put them to sleep in 30 secs or less to make the 'battery life' look longer for the new sales pitch. I would have preferred ALL ON, SLEEPLESS and a switch on the keyboard like the old days, but oh well.
    I thought I read somewhere from a geek level website that you can 'terminal' a longer sleep mode for Btooth items... anyone know which article I saw or know the terminal command?

  • Bluetooth wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting

    Hello,
    My wireless keyboard {small aluminum, no numeric pad}  keeps disconnecting after i changed the batteries yesterday - the keyboard is found and paired to my iMac, however whenever i press the Command key, it disconnects if i press the space bar it outputs a space followed by the letter 'n' {like so " n"} also i cannot use the delete key, very strange!
    I have tried resetting the PRAM, disconnecting the keyboard and starting over, but still getting the same problems, any ideas on how i can fix this?
    KR,
    Aaron

    Hello:
    Try a couple of things:
    1.  Reset the SMC (you already have reset the PRAM).
    2.  Trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and then restart.
    3.  Make the KB a favorite.
    If none of that helps, try removing and then replacing the batteries.
    If none of that works, I would suspect a failing KB.

  • HT2845 why does my wireless mouse keep losing connection?

    Good morning,
    My wireless mouse keeps losing connection...my batteries are at 100% and the "discoverable" option is checked off.  Why is this happening?

    Hi:
    PRAM=parameter random access memory - reset like this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11243
    SMC=system management controller reset like this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Sometimes resetting these "fixes" odd problems - and it cannot hurt.
    To make a device a favorite, go to system preferences>bluetooth.  Highlight the device.  If detailed information is not shown, click oin the little gear>show more info.  Then click on the gear again and make the device a favorite.

  • Why does my macbook pro keep disconnecting from the internet?

    For whatever reason my Macbook pro 15in keeps disconnecting from the internet everytime it goes to sleep. And sometimes when I wake it up, I have to turn wifi on and off a couple times to get it to detect the right signal. This does not happen with my playstation or my phone so it has to be a problem with the Macbook itself. Can anyone give me any information on how to fix this problem? Anything would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello, amal111.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here is an article that I would recommend going through when experiencing Wi-Fi connectivity issues.  Also, make sure all firmware updates have been processed on the router and the settings have been adjusted to the recommended settings in the second article below.

  • Wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting

    So my family and I have a late 2009 Mac mini with a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse the mouse won't let you scroll up (it's a Magic Mouse) and won't let you do any trackpad functions. I think this is just because the Mac is so old that this is programmed out of the software (sounds like apple). Well the keyboard is realtively new 2012 or so maybe 13 but it connects to the Mac and after a few moments it types or deletes a ton of letters that I typed I spent an hour of work on an essay and the keyboard just deleted it all then it loses connection and does the same thing when it reconnects. The keyboard has 100% battery level I've changed the batteries and that didn't help I turned off the Mac that didn't help and I've try odd just having the keyboard on and that didn't do anything so it's not the blue tooth frequency. I'm wondering if this is covered under the apple care protection plan I bought for my other Mac which is notorious for breaking even though it's a Mac with retnia. So my questions are what the **** is up with the keyboard and should the mouse not be able to scroll also if this is a hardware related issue is this covered under an apple care protection plan? Thanks

    Yea i tried this on my Macbook pro and it does the same thing i tried to look up the serial number but its one of those 17 digit ones that dont fit in the line, but i do think there is something wronk with the mini i will try a hardware check on it the next time to see if anything is wrong with the hardware.

  • Why does my wireless keyboard continuously lose connection?

    I got this iMac brand new this past spring, and the wireless keyboard constantly loses the connection to the computer.  I mean constantly.  In the time I have taken to actually get onto this discussion board, it has lost the connection no less than 10 times.  Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?

    Since the 10.6.7 I get inaccurate information about battery levels. This widget seems to give more precise info for keyboard, trackpad and mouse: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/mightymonitor.html

  • Wireless Keyboard Keeps Disconnecting From iMac

    When leave my iMac overnight my keyboard disconnects alone. This didn't happen before (3 months) and now all of a sudden it's disconnecting......
    Can someone help me with this?

    I have been trying to get my wireless apple keyboard to connect to my MacBook (13" late 2008) for some time without success. It sometimes recognizes it, but always fails to connect. Fresh batteries don't seem to help this situation.
    Can anyone out there offer a suggestion or two.
    Thanks.

  • Why does my iphone 5c keep disconnecting when charging in my VW polo?

    I recently bought and iphone 5c, my car has an MDI port so i can play my music through the head unit and also charge the phone. this worked perfectly fine with my old iphone 4 and appears to work with my friends iphone 5's. When mine is plugged in it disconnects and reconnects every 25 seconds or so.
    I don't think it's the car or the wire itself as it seems to work fine with other iphones. Any ideas?

    I have the official VW iphone 5 adaptor. I have tried 3rd party 30pin to lightning adaptors to put on the end of my old iphone 4 mdi cable but they only charged the phone. they weren't compatable with audio.
    i've tried my friends iphone 5 in it today so i'm starting to think its the phone. but why would it work sometimes and act up other days?

  • Can anyone explain why my Apple Wireless mouse annoyingly disconnects every 4 or 5 minutes or so? It then remains disconnected for about 20 seconds before reconnecting again? Batteries are good but at a loss ... worked fine for year!

    Can anyone please explain why my Apple wireless mouse keeps disconnecting from my imac? The batteries are good and the mouse in good clean order. Never had an issue previoulsy but now every 4 or 5 minutes the mouse diconnects and takes 20 seconds or so to connect again. Anyone else experienced this one?
    Thanks
    Jon.

    Some folk have reported a similar issue apparently caused by the batteries being a bit loose in their box. The suggested fix for that is to insert a thin piece of cardboard between the battery cover and the batteries.
