Wireless keyboard pairing lost in Snow Leopard

I recently upgraded my software to snow leopard and now I can't pair my wireless keyboard with my imac. it says this device hasn't got the necessary services.  Has anyone found out how to repair devices after getting this dialogue box come up?  Thanks!!!

Just a thought: Adding your problem, which is different from the original posters' (he's using an Apple Keyboard and probably had OS issues), to a thread that has been dead for a couple of months is not the best way to get help.
I'd start a new thread that mentions your keyboard brand in the title, and a complete description of how you installed SL and what you have done (as far as permissions repairs, update reinstallations, keyboard vendor support statements) to solve your issue already.
Who knows, others that are using the same keyboard may recognize the problem and may know a solution from the thread title, plus you will have people working on your problem, not the original posters' (he never posted back, so I assume he fixed his problem).

  • Problems with wireless mouse/keyboard after upgrade to snow leopard

    Hi!
    I am wondering if someone has some insight for me.  I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard from Tiger. I have been using a Logitech S 530 wireless keyboard/mouse combo for a few years.  I am now having problems with them irratically.
    1. When on line and the page is large, I often cannot move the blue bar at the bottom of the screen to scroll to the right. What happens is like a stutter; as I am dragging the bar, it and the page shake rapidly side-to-side. Sometimes, I can drag it to the right, but as soon as I let go, it snaps back to the left.  This does not happen in Word.
    2. When in boxes with dropdown options, only occasionally does that happen.  The dropdown either doesn't show, or it flashes quickly.  Sometimes it will work after clicking many times. This happens with dropdown menus as well as search boxes that have dropdown choices for previous searches or suggested searches a la Google.
    3. When I use my function key or mouse to display all windows, I can't choose the one I want.  Regardless of which one I put my cursor over, only the left-most one is highlighted and comes to the front when I click.
    4. There is a varying lag. Sometimes the system is responsive, and other times there is a lag of varying lengths before the system responds to the mouse action (click, drag, zoom, etc.)
    5. For a while, my left mouse button wouldn't work.  I reconfigured it, that seems to have done the trick.
    6. Today, I can't open any of the menu items on Firefox.  I can move the cursor there, but when I click on any of them, nothing happens. This is okay in Safari.
    I have disconnected and reconnected the usb, restarted the computer, and tried to reinstall the software for the mouse and keybord. When I did that, I got a message saying it couldn't install on the current OS, so I went to Logitech and dowloaded and installed the latest version (which indicated it is for OS X 10.6.8.)
    I don't know if this is a Snow Leopard problem, but it started sometime after I upgraded.  Thanks in advance for any help!

    Update all your third party software  or uninstall and reinstall 10.6 versions.
    If your going to 10.7, be warned a lot of software will not work at all and your 10.5 era machine will be slow, perhaps even have problems as 10.7 is problematic on older hardware.

    IMO save for a new 10.8 machine after this summer.
    See #1-15 here, tune yourself up good.

  • Lost functionality in keyboard and mouse in Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    Since installing Snow Leopard I have lost the following functions:
    "enter" key on number pad not working
    scrolling horizontal w/mighty mouse not working. scrolling vertical with"nub" is superfast. System Pref's no help
    Can't print using "Command" "p" in text edit.
    I have tried the Combo 10.6.1 updater again but no luck.
    Anyone else having these problems?

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless Won't Scan Under Snow Leopard

    After installing Snow Leopard, my new HP Officejet Pro Wireless 8500 all-in-one printer won't scan. It delivers the following error message: "No Scan Options - refer to device documentation".
    Also, when I attempted to check and adjust scan settings using HP's Scan Destinations program, that program hangs and cannot save any setting changes. Then I have to use "Force Quit" to stop the program from hanging up while saving.
    HP's software update reports the printer software is up to date.
    It appears there are a ton of printer problems appearing for people after installing Snow Leopard, but I sure would appreciate any help on solutions if someone also has this problem.
    Thanks much.

    I also just tried connecting my 8500 wireless printer directly via usb and then downloading the HP printer drivers from Apple downloads and reinstalling.
    The install hangs nearly forever on the final step, but eventually says the driver install was successful. However, then when connected via usb, I am unable to print. Printing works when you reconnect via the wireless on the 8500.
    So connecting via usb and reinstalling HP printer drivers does not solve the issue. And it's puzzling, because the list of supported printers under Snow Leopard lists the Officejet Pro8500 Wireless as supporting both printing and scanning.
    Somebody has it wrong.
    If this scanning problem continues very long, I may be forced to uninstall Snow Leopard, because my printer is brand new.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless second paper tray under Snow Leopard

    He there, I have a strange problem with the second (extra) paper tray from the Office Jet Pro 8500. I have setup the tray and activated the option on the driver page on the computers, but no results. No paper is loaded from the tray and there is an error that no paper is loaded in the machine. The printer is connected via ethernet (and a time machine) and I am running snow leopard on all the machines that are connected to the printer. I have installed the latest drivers from Apple and from HP. I know that the paper tray is working, because when I make a copy on the machine localy and force him to use papertray number 2, then there is no problem.
    Does anybody have the same problem?? Thanks

  • Apple Aluminum Wireless Keyboard Pairs, but letter/number keys don't work

    I just got the new Wireless keyboard and I paired it, and the Function keys work fine, and when I was pairing, the number keys worked as well(to type in pairing code). But when I try to type in any search box or type anywhere, it won't. even the numbers won't work. the Tab and Delete keys work though. Along with the function keys.
    The funny thing about this is that the number keys worked when i was pairing, but not now. Also when I start up my Mac and have to type the password in, the letter keys worked. But once on the desktop its a no go.
    Please help.

    24 hours later, the initial fix resetting the Universal Access settings as discussed above, the keyboard proved to be so flaky, that I took it back to Apple and exchanged it for a new one. The weakness seems to be in the bluetooth communication perhaps, with the keyboard accepting the new settings and then forgetting them somehow. So if you are a user reading this thread and you aren't getting any joy from the solution above, the solution is to take/send the keyboard back to Apple for a new one. The one I have now works just fine. It paired up much more quickly and it is typing this note without any issues. So far. I also picked up a wired keyboard in case I have to throw this one against the wall if it starts screwing up like the other one. Either way, I am covered.

  • Imac wireless keyboard pairing

    Hi all,
    I hope this is the right section because I could not find one for the keyboard but I bought a wireless keyboard for my macbook pro so I could hook it up to my LG tv  and sit far back but the first time when using Lion it found my keyboard and then had a list of numbers to type in from the keyboard to pair it and all was well but ever since I upgraded to mountain lion I have been un able to pair the device it detects the keyboard but it refuses to pair it and no numbers come up on the screen and says to make sure it son and batterieson correctly..etc I made sure it is all in correctly I put a fresh set of batteries and when I turn it on the green lights comes on for a few seconds then turns off and does not blink or anything..
    I dont know what else I can try to get the keyboard to pair with my macbook pro 13" of mid 2010 I made sure the little bit on the end is properly attached as it does detect the keyboard and the batteries are in correctly I cant think for the life of me why it wont work :/

    Sorry, hit post too soon. Apple TV is latest model, bought in early 2014.

  • Will an Apple wireless keyboard pair with an iPad2?

    Is an Apple wireless keyboard designed to pair with an iPad 2?  The instruction book refers to a Mac computer but never to an iPad.  I keep getting the "Pairing Unsuccessful" message after I type in the 4 digit code that the iPad tells me to enter on the keyboard.  The keyboard gives me the flashing light saying it's ready to pair, but doesn't make the hook-up. The keyboard is just a foot from the iPad.  Any suggestions?

    This might help.
    Note the following:
    The original Apple Wireless Keyboard, introduced in 2003, is not compatible:
    Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003): Features a white case and uses four AA batteries.
    In addition, many third-party Bluetooth keyboards that use the Apple keyboard layout are also compatible. Check with the keyboard manufacturer for additional information.

  • Apple TV dominates wireless keyboard pairing over iMac

    I have Apple TV and an iMac in the same room.  Even when the Apple TV is off, and I switch the iMac on intending to use the keyboard to enter password, etc. sometimes the Apple TV switches itself on, and the keyboard is paired with it and is therefore not discoverable by the iMac for password entry.  This happens intermittently and I cannot find either a solution by searching online, nor through looking at settings on the iMac or Apple TV.
    It is a wireless keyboard from ~2011 without keypad extension.  iMac is same vintage, and Apple TV is

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard pairing delay

    Hi. I have a first generation Mac Mini with a D-Link DBT-120 (http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=0&pid=34) Bluetooth adapter and an Apple Wireless Keyboard. When I turn on the computer and I'm going to type my password, it take like 3-4 minutes for the computer to recognize the keyboard (I turn on the keyboard in the moment I turn on the computer). After that, the keyboard works perfectly. I would like to know if there's any way to make the pairing of the computer and the keyboard faster. I know it's probably just a detail but it's a bit annoying.
    Thanks.
    Santiago.

    I have a keyboard that I had previously (successfully) paired with my iPad 2.  I haven't used them together in a long time. 
    I have been trying to pair the last 1-2 days and have had no luck.  Most of the time the iPad doesn't detect the keyboard from the Bluetooth Settings.  Occasionally it will detect, but when I click it to pair it will take awhile and then simply alert "Pairing Unsuccessfull".
    The light on the keyboard indicates to me that it's paired (3 seconds of green and then off - as opposed to the flashing which indicates it's unpaired).  I put in fresh batteries.  I know it's working because I can turn on Caps Lock.
    Any ideas?  Any way to reset the keyboard so as to start more from scratch?  I don't have a PIN in my Apple keyboard manual.  If I recall correctly, last time the iPad asked me to enter a confirmation code on the keyboard and hit enter.
    I'll have to check out the pair of links (Using and Troubleshooting) but I think I've tried everything I found in them.
    My computer died and now I'm waiting for my new Macbook Pro.  Need my keyboard paired with my iPad to stem the tide!
