Wireless keyboard does not pair

Hi,
I paired successfully a keyboard to an iMac awhile ago and then I couldn't get it work for a reason I don't know and let it go.
Now Ineed this wireless keyboard for another computer and I would like to try once again to make it work.
Here's my problem :
Ther keyboard is recognized by the bluetooth assistant (with my name by the way). Then I get the code to enter and then the pairing fails. And I know I have to press the enter key ! My batteries are ok (green light). I have tried on a friend(s computer, same thing and the keyboard is also recognized with my name on his machine. Is there a way to globally reset this keyboard and start from the beginning ?
Any idea would be welcome !

Hello p:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
Try trashing a preference file and restarting (com.apple.bluetooth.plist).
I would also reset the PRAM:

Wireless keyboard does not work after waking up from idle

After MacBook Air went to sleep, wireless keyboard does not properly connect to MacBook - I can wake the MacBook up, but meaningless numbers are sent, and I cannot type in my password. Have to "open" MacBook, and use keys - disconnect and re-connect wireless keyboard. I also use Magic Mouse and it works flawlessly. Problem is small but annoying. Any help?

My wireless keyboard will not pair with the computer. Now I am unable to submit the password in order to access the computer.

What version of the Mac OS are you running (from "About this Mac" under your Apple menu)?

IPad and wireless keyboard do not pair any more

I always had (minor) problems, wehn vonnecting iPad and keyboard. But now iPad and wireless keyboard do not pair at all. Tried 15-20 times, fresh batteries, switched on an off, tried manually - nothing. I noticed that the green LED of the keyboard shines just for about 3 seconds when I switch on - but this has always been like that before. Latest OS of course. Who can help, please?

TS3048 My wireless keyboard does not turn on. Yes batteries are new and installed correctly

I don't know why my wireless keyboard is not working. I can't sign onto my computer. Installed new batteries and yes they are installed correctly. I'm wondering if maybe it doesn't work anymore. It's only a couple of years old!

Hi, Mike.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your keyboard is not functioning. Here is a troubleshooting article that I would recommend going through for this.

Wireless keyboard does not work with Safari.

Space bar does not work when using Apple Wireless Keyboard with Safari to fill web forms.

Im going to assume you are using the Apple Wireless Keyboard with your devices.
Whats probabaly happening is both of your devices are trying to connect to your keyboard at the same time and it is causing it to not function properly.
I suggest you disable bluetooth on the device you AREN'T using and try it again with the one you ARE using.
If this doesn't solve your issue, try re-pairing the keyboard with the iPad you wish to use it with. It may have just not made a strong connection.
Hope these suggestions help!

Wireless keyboard does not auto setup with a mac mini

I have just bought a mac mini and am trying to set it up, the only keyboard I have is the apple wireless keyboard. I have switched the Mac on and it finds the "magictrack pad" but does not seem to find the key board. The keyboard light flashes for the the 3 minutes looking for something to pair with - I have managed to pair it with my iPad (and remove the pairing - afterwards) but it does not auto-pair with the "new" Mac. The problem is that I cannot go any further (to allow me to complete the full setup procedure) without filling in the information that is required and I cannot fill in the information required without a keyboard. I do not have a USB (or any other keyboard) so I seem to be a little stuck. - Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Is there any way of connecting a PC laptop to the Mac Mini and use the keyboard on the PC?

Not sure what your process was but try this.
Make sure the Mini is off. Hold down the button
on the keyboard to make sure it is off. Next
start the Mini and as soon as you hear the
start up chime, press the power button on the
keyboard. Be sure not to press any other keys.
For what ever reason, timing is critical with the
keyboard pairing at boot time. This is only an
issue when doing things that require a keyboard
at boot. Once paired, it connects fine when normally
booting.

Wireless Keyboard Will Not Pair With iMac

After installing Security Update 2007-007 and Pro Applicatiion Support 4.0.1 my wireless keyboard stopped being recognized by my computer. When I run my Bluetooth Setup Assistant it sees my keyboard but I can not pair it. I even installed new battteries in it thinking that was the problem. I had a brand new never used wireless keyboard in the closet which i got out and installed batteries in it and it will also not pair with my iMac. Any sugggestions will be greatly appreciated since I am stumped! Oh, my wireless mouse is working fine.

The model number is M9270LL/A (its the one that comes with the iMac). When the screen comes up and asks for you to enter a set of numbers to pair with the computer and I type the nembers on the keyboard I then receive an message that an error has occured. I try and try again to pair the keyboard to the computer with the same results. Thanks.

Ok so I got my mac mini today and I am trying to set it up but my wireless keyboard does not sync up. I have tried entering the code that the mini displays but still cannot get past the sync keyboard screen. Since I dont have a wired keyboard ...any ideas

Happy Thanksgiving. Any ideas on how to sync up a brand new man mini with a wireless keyboard. My attempts at following the directions have been frustated so far. Entering the numerical code has not yet led to a successful sync up.

Alright, very good.

Wireless keyboard does not work

both my wireless mouse and keyboard had stopped working. I rebooted and the mouse started working but the keyboard is still not working.

Check to ensure that the batteries in the mouse and keyboard are not flat. It sounds as from your description that it may be the case with the keyboard or that you need to reconnect the keyboard to the wireless dongle.
You have not specified whether your wireless keyboard and mouse are HP or aftermarket. It would help if you did that.

New Wireless Keyboard does not function Ctrl+Alt+Del in Windows 7 32 Bit

As the subject, does anyone can help me ?

HI, Michael;
Crystal Reports 2008 is the only version that is tested / certified and supported on Windows 7.
Another thing that I noticed from your post - Crystal Reports XI does not work with VS.NET 2008 - are you sure that is the version you are using? Which versions of our .NET assemblies do you have in your project?
Best Regards,
Jonathan

Wireless keyboard does not type w e r t.?

wireless works on all letters except. Q w e r t

Hi,
Sounds like a problem with your keyboard. Does it work with Safari?

A new wireless keyboard, does not work with 10.6.8.

but works with the Iphone, so the problem is not at the product I assume...

Hello:
If it is paired with the phone, it needs to be unpaired before it will connect to another device. BT devices (for obvious reasons) may only be paired with one thing at a time.
