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.

Help with very slow connection if apple tv linked to wireless apple keyboard

My husband and I trying to connect the wireless Apple keyboard to our Apple tv so we can get rid of the pesky and cumbersome Apple tv clicker. However, when we do so, our connection slows to a crawl and we cannot access sites like Netflix et al. We disconnected Bluetooth from our Mac Book Pro as we noticed that the keyboard serves only one master. This did not fix the problem. We are at our wits' end. Your help would be immensely appreciated.
Oh, and also, I had been thinking of installing AirPort Utilty. Is this a good idea and why do I not see it in the AppStore, only on websites of dubious provenance?
Thousand thanks,
J and F
Er, and while we're at it, why do we need to choose between my apple address and my husband's when we set up homesharing? This is another clunky thing that simply is opaque.

However, when we do so, our connection slows to a crawl and we cannot access sites like Netflix et al.
Not caused by the keyboard. It connects via BluTooth, the video services over eithernet. They have nothing to do with one another. There is something else going on. Have you tried connecting ATV via a wired connection instead of WiFi.

Because you can only use one AppleId. It would be a huge leagal mess if it displayed content from multiple accounts at the same time. The copyright holders would never allow it.

Why is my brand new wireless apple keyboard keep disconnected every 5 to 10 minutes from mac mini? the keyboard's battery is 100% full, and the bluetooth connection seems fine. I'm running 10.8.2. Please help...

Hi Barry,
You seem to have solutions ?
Do you know why iPhone 5 could not be paired by Bluetooth
with MacBook Pro Snow Leopard 10.6.8 ?

Apple TV + wireless Apple Keyboard?

Will an update for the Apple TV be offered that allows me to use my wireless apple keyboard?

While I would have liked the keyboard when entering the wireless passphrase, unless Apple starts putting more apps that need a keyboard (i.e.: Twitter) the probablility of keyboard support seems pretty low.
You can suggest to Apple to add keyboard support and appropriate apps:

I have a macmini on order, I wonder if I can pair the wireless apple keyboard and magic touchpad without using any other input devices, especially, since everything is brand new and not yet paired.

You may just want to save yourself any possible issues
by just hooking up a wired keyboard and mouse on first
start up. Any USB keyboard and mouse should work.
There have been many that have had problems on first boot
using the Bluetooth devices.

2 batteries stuck in my wireless apple keyboard...any ideas?

2 batteries stuck in my wireless apple keyboard....any ideas?

One of them must have leaked and/or swollen in there — not a good situation. I'm afraid there is no way of getting them out that you haven't probably thought of already, and if there has been any leakage, there won't be any good way to clean it up even if you get the batteries out.
I would try to jolt them loose my tapping the end of the keyboard with the end of the battery compartment open on a firm surface that is softer than the aluminum shell and won't mar it, e.g. a block of 2x4 lumber, and hope for the best.
What type of batteries are they: alkaline (best for this use), lithium, or NiMH?

How to fix wireless apple keyboard that ceased pairing with imac at the same time the keyboard on my ipad2 disappeared right after I updated osx vs. 10.8.5 sent out by Apple

I updated to OSX vs. 10.8.5 sent out by Apple on Oct 4,2013. My wireless
Apple keyboard is no longer paired to my imac and at the same time I noted that the keyboard on my ipad2 no longer exists. At first I thought it was an icloud issue but am wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem.

I downloaded 10.8.5 Supplementary and this time there was a picture of my keyboard with the suggestion that I power it on, which I did many times. Finally re-booted my imac and shut down BlueTooth on my ipad. I now have a keyboard back on the ipad and my wireless keyboard on the imac is working.

Wireless Apple Keyboard connection lost message

I couldn't find a better place to post this so I am just posting here. On my Mac Mini connected to my TV I have a bluetooth wireless apple keyboard. Works great except when watching a movie and the keyboard goes to sleep. I get this connection lost message on the screen that keeps coming up at various times. Is there a way to disable that message so the movie isn't interrupted with that message flashing up on the screen?

Interesting, mine were at 68% so I've just changed them, will report back here if that's helped.
But it's worrying if it is the answer since this update is supposed to help save battery power!
I don't really want to keep on changing my batteries when they are still well over half full. I'm keen to know if you still get the problem in the next few days.
One interesting point, I allow my keyboard to wake my mac from sleep. I find that if I sleep my mac, within a minute or so it wakes again and immediately shows the keyboard disconnect pop-up. So what I think is happening is the bluetooth control inside the keyboard is turning off transmit and back on again.
I'm going to ask Apple how to roll-back the update.
Let me know if you start to get disconnected again, I'll do likewise.

Bluetooth Wireless Apple Keyboard comes with Energizer batteries? Can't seem to register my new keyboard too.

Bluetooth Wireless Apple Keyboard comes with Energizer batteries? Can't seem to register my new keyboard too.
I bought this new keyboard from the Ala Moana Store and was surprised to open the sealed box with two Energizer AA batteries inside. I didn't know batteries were supplied. The road clear plastic seal over the battery door was also missing. I am a little suspicious that this was a resealed return item.
The next thing I am trying to do is get it registered (like all my other apple items) just in case this turns out to be a lemon, but I can't seem to find a way to add it to my other items. There's no category 'Bluetooth' or 'Keyboard' in the equipment selection list.
So here's my question, did I get a used item that was resealed and put on the shop shelf? Someone else paid for this so it isn't showing up on my list of items. I would like to add it.
Thanks.
Mike

Hello Mik:
You cannot register a KB. Apple does not keep a database of peripheral devices.
I would question the store about the unwrapped batteries.... I would suspect that the device was returned by someone else.

My wireless Apple keyboard won't connect, it just keeps blinking to pair, but nothing connects. I even tried hooking up another wireless I have and it does the same thing. Should I delete it and set it up again?

Hey Apple Health,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! There's an article that helps to resolve issues with wireless keyboards. I'd take a look at it, go through the troubleshooting steps, and see if that resolves the issue for you:

Apple Keyboard on PC (Vista and XP)

Hi all
I'm now forced to use a PC at work (after moving from a job where I'd used Macs for more than 15 years!) but I'm trying to put a case together for upgrading the hardware.
*Could someone tell me if I would be able to use a Mac aluminium wired keyboard with my PC* (currently running XP Pro, but hopefully, with new hardware, Vista).
I know it will 'work' sort of, but what about the various key differences (" and @ specifically)?
I love the alu keyboards and would so love to have one with the PC (as I'm never going to be allowed a Mac here!).
Thanks in advance!

I just bought a compact aluminum Apple keyboard to use with an external monitor on my Dell Latitude E6500 laptop running Vista at work. I use a MacBook at home and wanted similar keyboards in both places. I used the free KeyTweak program to disable Caps Lock (my personal preference) and to turn the Apple Command keys into Windows Ctrl keys. KeyTweak makes its changes in the Windows registry. I used the free AutoHotKey program to run a script that gives me Home and End when I press Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-Right, PgUp and PgDn when I press Ctrl-Up and Ctrl-Dn, and forward Delete when I press Ctrl-Delete. I do Ctrl-Alt-Del on the laptop's keyboard when I need to. (Although KeyTweak was able to change the Apple Control key to a forward Delete that worked for the Ctrl-Alt-Del combination, I chose not to keep this particular remapping.) I use the PrintScreen key on the laptop. Altogether I am a very happy camper now. Here's the AutoHotKey script to get you started:
^Left::
Send {Home}
return
^Right::
Send {End}
return
^Down::
Send {PgDn}
return
^Up::
Send {PgUp}
return
^Backspace::
Send {Delete}
return

Cant get bluetooth wireless apple keyboard to work win XP - bootcamp

Well just as posted... i can link it, sometimes it says your hardware has encountered a problem and might not function properly, and sometimes it links fine, but no letters come out. unlinks soon after... Ive read many posts, so lets only post answers, not alike symptoms.... many people have this problem... I wrote the headlines to locate this problem easily...please help

Try pressing the "clear" button (where the Num Lock key would be on a Windows keyboard). I don't think Windows enables this on bootup (as there is no BIOS to do it). I know this happens when I run XP in Parallels...
