Wireless keyboard is "nondiscoverable" on my pc win7. Seems like the pc is not wanting to discover my apple keyboard..
Anybody know how to do it? Thx!

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • Win7-64 intel computer apple wireless keyboard

    I have a (1st gen?) apple wireless keyboard.
    I had previously used it quite successfully in my intel e8400 Vista 32bit computer. (Kensington bluetooth dongle)
    I recently built a a Win7 intel Core i7 64bit computer. (Home premium)
    I tried the same (older model) bluetooth dongle and pair up the same wireless keyboard. No Go.
    When I call Kensington, they swear it is just that I have an old model dongle and a new dongle will fix it up right, no problem. So......I order the dongle, wait a week and install it. No Go.
    Interestingly, the Win7 computer finds the keyboard, identifies it as an apple wireless keyboard, and asks for the pairing code. I type in 1234 or 0000 (on a plugged in keybaord) and then the circle spins...and spins. Finally one of two things happens. Either the bluetooth tells me the keybaord timed out, or it says the incorrect code was entered.
    A phone call and inquiry to Apple sales staff and they say that the "tech guys" say that due to "improvements" the new apple wireless keyboards will not work with anything but an apple computer.
    I just find that a little hard to believe. since it is bluetooth, and the older keyboard (that has not therefore been "improved"), the switch from 32 to 64 bit shouldn't make an difference should it (radio signals is radio signals, right?)? and the Vista to Win7 switch should not matter either?
    First question, Am I putting in the right pairing code?
    Second question, any thought on whether this is possible or not?
    Your thoughts, suggestions, etc., are appreciated in advance.

    Hi Heleny,
    Sorry to hear about your trouble connecting the keyboard. What version of operating system do you have? You are trying to connect it with bluetooth correct?
    Thank you,

  • Wireless Keyboard + Wireless Mighty Mouse questions

    Hey everyone, Mac users please don't hate me for asking this but I have some questions about using the Apple wireless keyboard and wireless Mighty mouse on a windows XP PC (Not in boot camp).
    I have already bought the wireless keyboard, and have it working with my Windows PC using a Belkin bluetooth dongle, and was just wondering why the Control + Alt + Delete combo on the apple keyboard of (Control + option + Fn + Backspace) isn't working for me? I think it may be something to do with the keyboard being wireless, or possibly the Fn key will not work in Windows? I also would like to be able to remap some of the "F" keys on the wireless keyboard to windows functions like the volume and playback/ pause media keys. Is there any software anyone can reccomend which will allow me to do this?
    My second question is about the wireless mighty mouse. I haven't bought it yet, but I have strong intentions of doing so and using it with a Windows XP (to be updated to Win7 when it gets out of beta ~Sept) PC. I love apple hardware- peripherals especially, which is why I already bought the wireless keyboard and now wish to buy the Mighty mouse along with a 30" Apple display to use with the PC in my office at home. I have read mixed reports on many Mac forums about the compatability of the WMM with Windows, and have come here to get it cleared up before I spend close to £50 on a mouse that may or may not work. I heard somewhere that some but not all functions of the mouse would work in Windows, whereas somewhere else I read that a guy had installed a driver that was extracted from a (I think Leopard) Mac install disk and that the mouse was working 100% on his XP or Vista PC.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated guys, I built myself a special edition of one of my own design Eclipse series PC's to put in my new office at the start of this year and normal monitors/ peripherals just dont look right in that room because its very minimalist and modern and Apple make the most minimalist but functional hardware I know, which is why I want to use this KB/Mouse/Monitor combination.
    Thanks,
    Matt.

    I'm REALLY interested in how you got your Apple wireless keyboard to work on your XP PC. Was the keyboard recognized and working immediately? I've been reading thread after thread; still can't figure it out. Can you provide any help? Thanks.

  • How do you use the same wireless keyboard with multiple devices?

    My apologies in advance if this question has been answered previously.  There was nothing in the owner's manual (for the keyboard) that answered this.  I did do a rough search that did not yield an answer to this:
    I have one wireless keyboard I am using with my Macbook Pro.  I understand this keyboard can also be used as an input device for my Apple TV and my iPhone - both of which I currently own.
    And although I am able to use the keyboard with those devices, I am forced to "forget this device" after having used it on either the Apple TV or my iPhone so that I can use it on my MacBook Pro.  Is there any combination of keys that one can press on the keyboard that would cycle through my three devices?  As it is right now, if I don't "forget the device" on my secondary units, it somehow defaults to a peripheral OTHER than my MacBook Pro and I'd like for it to always default to my computer. 
    Thank you for any information/advice.

  • Would like to add two devices since obtaining HDMI IV: a wireless keyboard

    Secondly, I would like to have headphones to have capability to listen tv without disburbing bed partner. I see apple wireless keyboard requires blue tooth usb dongle which costs as much as keyboard, looking at a Kensington wireless keyboard which uses that other technology. Excuse my ignorance.
    Do I need to buy both blue tooth and beamed to headphone as my mac doessn't have internal bluetooth. I use Belkin Wireless currently b not n. I found a site with great reviews for 802.11n Mac USB Wireless Adapter, which is n . But pricey. That may be ok as i don't want to go backwards. my systems is used by four rooms wired and wireless and I also want to buy a wireless adapter for an old G3 so it will work in my grandkids house across from kitchen to back two bedrooms.
    Can anyone advise which keyboard: i don;t like feel of new Mac flat ones, it slows down typing, I also like white. PS I have a great $1245 Kensington Trackball. So I don't necessarily need combo unit except for the grandkids g3. Iknow this is a big order. But i spent all day learning terms and getting not much done online. Thanks in advance. New HDMI and switcher trying to network an old G3

    I am asking about my G5 desktop 1.8.
    You asked the right question but in the wrong forum. This is the GEE-FOUR area. That's is why no one is answering other than me, who realized you would benefit from moving your post and offered help to relocate it. I provided the link to the G5 forums previously. I'm sure that, if you post there, you will get help from people who use and manage G5 computers on a regular basis.
    From your profile, I see that most of your other posts are in the proper G5 forum, I remain confused about why you insist on getting this question answered in the GEE-FOUR forums, and why polite help offered made you angry.
    These are user-to-user forums, not staffed by Apple employees, and everyone volunteers their time without hope of remuneration. That's why the forums are organized by model; people with common equipment types can share ideas and help with common problems. Your computer does not match the equipment and experience base of the forum in whcih you posted.
    Misplaced posts are common here due to some confusing labeling of forum areas. However, someone getting mad when politely told they are better served by reposting in the area matching their computer model is NOT common.

  • Plus and minus keys on wireless keyboard?

    hi there everyone. i've got a new aluminum wireless keyboard and i love it to bits. gorgeous bit of design and elegance. on the previous apple keyboard however there was a couple of handy keys next to the numeric pad for 'plus' and 'minus'. Does anyone know how i can find these on the wireless keyboard? these were particularly handy when hit with the 'command' key to increase or decrease the size of text in safari.

    excellent, thank you, i'd obviously not looked at my keyboard closely enough! cheers...

  • How to set up wireless keyboards to work on 2 computers within 3 feet of one another

    We work close together -- within 3 feet and need to use wireless keyboards if possible. One computer will recognize
    the Apple wireless keyboard but my laptop will not recognize either of the 2 Apple wireless keyboards we own. I have changed
    batteries, made sure Bluetooth is on and there is no other interference. Appreciate any help.

    If the KB is paired with something, it needs to be deleted from that system before it can pair with something else. BT devices may only pair with one thing at a time.
    If I did not understand your issue, post back.

  • How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

    How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

    No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

  • Not recognizing wireless keyboard/trackpad/mouse

    Just installed windows 7 on new 2012 imac.  loaded the support software. still not recognizing the mac's wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse.  what should I try??

    hi
    the N70 mouse has a USB dongle to connect to
    Spoiler (Highlight to read)
    You may be able to connect the mouse but the Keyboard should be a pair SK8861
    The SK8861 mouse and keyboard should be a pair because the USB dongle for both is in the SK8861 mouse.
    Im not sure If you can pair the SK8861 keyboard with the n70 USB dongle.
    But here's how to pair the keyboard. you can try this out with the N70 usb dongle.
    Make sure that the keyboard is very close to the dongle when pairing
     1. Unplug the dongle from the computer
     2. Remove the battery
     3. Hold the F2 F3 and F4 keys on the keyboard all throughout the process
     4. Use your left had put the battery in but do not put the keyboard battery cover yet.
     5.  Left hand still, plug in the USB dongle then right away put the keyboard battery cover
    Light will blink but once it stopped you can now let go of the F2 F3 and F4 keys and try the keyboard out.
    If this does not work You might need to conatct where you bought it and ask about the keyboard and mouse, that it should come in pair" sk8861 mouse and keyboard.

  • Wacom Tablet causes Apple wireless keyboard to stop working.

    My Wacom tablet/pen causes my Apple wireless keyboard to stop working.  While working on a photo in Photoshop using my Apple (usb) mouse to make selections the keyboard works fine.  When I use the Wacom Pen to make selections, not immediately but anywhere from five to ten minutes into it, I hear what sounds like a chirp from my computer (Mac Pro) and my keyboard stops working.  The command, option, control and direction keys still work but not the number and letter keys.  I have to connect a spare Logitech keyboard via USB in order to continue and not loose my work.  After awhile I will hear the chirp again and the Apple keyboard will start working.  This will continue to occur at irregular intervals.  Without the spare keyboard I've had to reboot my computer (loosing all the work on the photo) to get the keyboard working again, but only for it to reoccur.  Any suggestions to fix this would be appreciated.

    The Mac inherently keeps all input methods active, such that you could type alternate keys on alternate keyboards.
    If you have third party add-ons that might change the way Bluetooth works, those would be the primary suspects.
    Be sure all your Drivers are completely up-to-date, and batteries in battery-powered devices are still strong.
    Bluetooth uses the same part of the frequency spectrum (but a different modulation technique) as cheap WiFi Routers, baby monitors, and microwave ovens. if you live in a busy apartment building, there may be very high levels of interference.

  • TS3048 My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

    My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

    I would always have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand (need not be expensive ... any cheap wired devices will work).  "Emergency recovery" procedures can activate features in random order, so the opportunity to select a recovery partition may pass before the wireless devices are recognized.
    That will let you select the "turn on Bluetooth" icon.
