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.

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

You seem to have solutions ?
Do you know why iPhone 5 could not be paired by Bluetooth

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.

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 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.

HellO:
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.

Since upgrading to Mavericks my wireless keyboard keeps dropping. This stops me logging in! Can I fix this, or at least show the keyboard viewer to login?

Since upgrading to Mavericks my wireless keyboard keeps dropping. This stops me logging in! And I find I cannot reconnect the keyboard without switching the computer off. Can I fix this, or at least show the keyboard viewer to login with instead?

This is getting annoying!
The computer goes to sleep. I can wake it by pressing a key on the wireless keyboard. It thinks for a while. It asks me for the password. I can't enter the password because during that time the keyboard has disconnected from the computer. I have no choice but to hard restart the computer.
Any and all ideas welcome. Thanks in advance.

Time capsule keeps disconnecting from the internet

My MBP was previously connected to the internet via my sky netgear router, with no issues.
I have recently purchased a 2TB time capsule and connected that to the sky netgear router via an ethernet cable.
I then set it up as its own wifi network. Now it keeps disconnecting from the internet every 5 mins or so. I know that the internet is fine as I can hook up with my netgear router with no issues. I cant seem to find any settings to play with. Earlier posts seem to suggest firmware issues, but since this is a brand new MBP and TC, I can't understand what the issue could be.

Give us the full blown picture of the network.
What modem? Is it a router?
Is the TC in router or bridge mode?
Can you test with ethernet.. does the same disconnect happen when wireless goes down?
ie is this a router issue or a wireless issue?
If wireless can you try setting all that is now auto, to manual settings.. wireless channels.. unfortunately I think wireless mode is no longer accessible. Different names for 2.4ghz and 5ghz.
There are no new drivers.. That would only be relevant to AC wireless anyway.. or the firmware of the TC.
But you are running the latest firmware.. 7.7.1 which does mention some (rare) disconnections.

HP Photosmart Premium C310a printer keeps disconnecting from my network.

My HP Photosmart Premium C310a printer keeps disconnecting from my network. I have tried disconnecting my Firewall and AVG virus software, all to no avail. Can anyone help?

This is an issue I have seen multiple times, and telling people to check their network settings, or to fix wireless settings does NOT address the root cause of the problem.   For those who are English-impared, here is a very clear explanation of what is going on:
The printer is REMOVED from devices and printers, seemingly at random.    This is NOT a problem with "The printer is not printing", where fixing the network or resetting IP addresses will fix it.   The printer is GONE, and needs to be added again.
I know networking, and at no time should a loss of connection cause the printer to just be removed from Printers and Faxes, Printers, or anything like that.    If the connection is lost, the connection is lost, but the printer SHOULD still be set up in Windows, just pointing at the wrong place(if the IP address has been changed).
I suspect that it is more likely that the HP Update software is the culprit, and will test that theory today with a customer who has this problem.    It also seems to be limited to the HP Photosmart line of printers, since the Officerjet line does not seem affected by the bug.

PC keeps disconnecting from home hub.

Got a very annoying problem, for some reason my computer keeps disconnecting from my home hub. Its got much worse recently and I have no clue what is doing it. Sometimes it can stay disconnected for a couple of hours and when you finally get the connection back it says it cant connect to the Internet. Also my network adaptor cant find my hub but it will find my neighbours even though the hub is just down the stairs from my PC. Signal it good-excellent. There are 2 other computers using the same hub but the are totally unaffected by this.
Would really appreciate some help.

from your comments I assume you are using wifi
you can try downloading inssider3 (istumbler if MAC) and then run it. This will show the broadcasting networks round about you and their channels including your own. If you then enter your router and change your wireless channel to a free or less congested channel.

Why does my computer keep disconnecting from my wifi?

Why does my computer keep disconnecting from my wifi?

Some users with various Wi-Fi problems have reported that they were given the following instructions by Apple Support, sometimes with success. After completing the procedure, you'll have to recreate all your settings in the Networkpreference pane. Make sure you know how to do that before you begin. Taking screenshots of the preference pane may be helpful.
Step 1
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot and recreate the network settings.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 2
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 3
Reset the PRAM.
