Why won't my Apple keyboard pair with my Macbook Pro? Everything's discoverable...the light is blinking...the Macbook pro picks up other bluetooth...It's not paired with anything else?
Hello,
My wireless keyboard was paired with my iPad for a while, with no problem. Today I've unpaired it and tried to add it to my MBP (which I've done plenty of times in the past with sucess) but it's just not discovering it today.
Bluetooth is on, my laptop is discoverable
The MBP is picking up my phone, the iPad can see the MBP
The keyboard is turned on and blinking
Whether I try to 'set up new bluetooth keyboard' from Sys Preferences or 'set up bluetooth device' from Bluetooth menu, nothing happens.
Any ideas?
I've tried removing batteries, retarting the laptop..... Why should I try next?
Thanks in advance everyone
1. Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth on the device.
2. Hold Power button of your keyboard until the light stops blinking.
3. On the Mac, go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Set Up Bluetooth Keyboard.
4. Turn on the keyboard. If it doesn't connect to the Mac, press any key of the wireless keyboard.
5. When the keyboard appears on your Mac, choose Continue

Why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal
why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal.
Not sure of what? In your second response you said the issue was with airplay. You were also having issues connecting laptop to computer, which points to a laptop connectivity issue. I simply asked if home sharing was an issue as well, since that will confirm the laptop as the cause. Your response that home sharing is on doesn't really help since that doesn't itself have a bearing on airplay nor does it answer the question in regards to if home sharing is working on Apple TV
If you have a further question you will need to be specific. -

HT1222 Why won't my apple password word on iOS update
Why won' t my apple password work to sign in iOS update
The passcode you need to enter is not your Apple password. It is the four digit passcode you enter when turning on your iPad or waking it from sleep after an AutoLock. If you forgot your passcode you'll have to restore the iPad in iTunes.

Why won't my Apple TV show up in iTunes via micro-USB?
I turned on my Apple TV (2nd gen I think) last night and it wanted to update. After going through two updates, all I got on the screen was an iTunes logo and a USB cord. I re-started via the remote and all I got was the same thing. Then I couldn't get it to go to sleep, the light just blinked. Unplugged and left it alone for awhile, plugged it back in, same thing. Went out today and bought a micro-USB cord to hook it up to my Mac and Restore from iTunes. When plugged in, the light in front just flashes and the Apple TV doesn't show up in the sidebar in iTunes under "Devices". Now what?
Try a different micro USB cable. I was trying with one I bought from Staples... didn't work no matter what I tried. Then I tried one made by LG (for LG phones)--- worked instantly. ATV2 should be unplugged from the power cord, just the micro USB cable connected to the computer USB port. Then launch iTunes. Good luck!

My remote for my Apple TV just stopped working and I have tried putting in a new battery, re-pairing the remote, resetting the device by unplugging it, and I checked the infared coming from the remote is working. The light just blinks at me 3 times what else can I try to fix it?
Have you tried unpairing the remote? You do this by pointing your remote at the Apple TV and holding the MENU and Left buttons down together for 6 seconds.

Hello SavannahSweetie,
I was looking into the issue you are desribing, and found a great article for troubleshooting wifi connections with iOS devices. It's called iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections and can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398.
Start with this section, and work your way down if needed.
Basic troubleshooting
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and then on again.
Verify that you are in range of your Wi-Fi router or base station.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and Cable/DSL modem are connected to power and turned on.
Check whether other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware.For AirPort Base Stations, refer to this article for information about firmware updates. For third-party Wi-Fi routers, check the manufacturer's website for details on updating your firmware.
Restart your iOS deviceHold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
All the best,

I have a new computer now with windows 8. Old one was windows 7. The itunes library contains all I expect on new computer. Ipod will not sync with content. It says it is syncing but only picks up 1 tune. Solution please. I am on itunes 64 but it makes no difference from 32 bit.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

since i have upgradet my ipod touch 3g with the new 5.0.1 version, i can`t upload music or pictures or apps or anything else. the synchronize button is gray and allows nothing. the i tunes version is 10.5.3 ... please help me!
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again. -

The screen of my imac always goes to the maximum exposure. Then appear the light icon on the screen. After reducing the brightness goes my screen after a few minutes back to the maximum intensity with the brightness icon back on my screen.
Try resetting the SMC and if that doesn't work then reset the PRAM too.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys. -

Do you still have your windows7 install files ?

if yes I fear you have to enable it in win7 and then use it in win8
