Wireless Keyboard (white one) won't accept passcode

Wireless mighty mouse connects fine. Wireless keyboard is only discoverable whebn I select "any device" -- it isn;t found as a keyboard.
It connects, I'm asked for a passcode, I'm on the enter passcode page and I can't continue -- the continue button never goes active.
when I'm connecting, the keyboard appears briefly in teh list of devices in the BT manager, but then disappears again.
I've seen this same prob referred to on the web a few times but never an answer. Anyone here know?
thanks -- Richard.

Connect multiple 2 apple wireless keyboards to one imac computer

How to connect several apple wireless keyboards to one imac? Ive got 2 apple keyboards that I want keep and use in different rooms (have more screens connected there). I manage to connect my logitech edge keyboard and mouse in addition to the already connected apple magic mouse and apple wireless keyboard. But it does not seem as if the imac will accept another apple wireless keyboard?

Hello Steve:
I have not had a similar problem so I am fishing a bit. I think the problem is rooted in what I thought in my previous post.
Now, how to fix it?
Try this:
Go to system preferences>bluetooth. Delete any KB entries there. Trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist). Be sure that on and discoverable are checked in the BT preference pane. Restart your computer.
Hopefully, whatever KB you have turned on will be "discovered."

Rapoo Wireless keyboard E-6300 won't pair with iPhone 3GS

As the title says: Rapoo Wireless keyboard E-6300 won't pair with iPhone 3GS.

Apple Wireless Keyboard (white) being shown as "unknown" in leopard

Hi all, I just got hold of a wireless keyboard (white original model) to use with my Macbook Pro (running 10.5.6).
Here is my problem:
When I run the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, the keyboard will not be recognised as a keyboard, and will only appear on the list if I do a search for "Any Device". Even then it will be classed as "unknown" and pairing will not work despite trying to pair without a passkey.
The software the keyboard came out with is now out of date (10.2.xx) but all bluetooth updates have been applied to my laptop already.
I did a search and it appears that other people on this Support forum have had the same problem, but as of May '08 there was no solution posted! Hope someone can be of some help as I have a very nice keyboard now gathering dust! If the "Genius" bar cannot fix it later on this week, I will have to grudgingly get hold of the wireless aluminium keyboard which I feel is inferior...

Resolved: Error with AirPort adapter in Macbook Pro. Replaced by Apple, works fine now.

Apple Wireless Keyboard (white version) has stuck light and won't pair

I never usually turn my keyboard off or shut down my computer, but a change of routine compelled to do so. My computer will turn on just fine, but now the my white Apple Wireless Keyboard has a stuck green light on the caps lock and the bottom switch. It is no longer pairing and can no longer be detected through OS's Bluetooth utilities. I have tried turning it on and off, replacing batteries, and even removing it from Bluetooth favorites.
Is the keyboard finally broken? Any light in this problem is helpful.
Currently using an iMac G5 20" 2.0 GHz (ambient sensor version) running Mac OS X 10.4.11.

Hi J.A:
It sounds suspiciously like a KB problem. Do you have access to another BT-equipped Apple or to an Apple store. If you do, you could try the KB there.
You could reset the PRAM to see if that helps (although I doubt it will):

My Mac wireless keyboard and mouse won't reconnect

My Mac wireless keyboard and and mouse one day disconnected and I can't reconnect. They have new batteries.

Hi Saint Anne,
Happy Thanksgiving Day! Since both of your wireless input devices are not working at the moment, do you have a wired mouse you can use to straighten this out? Here are some troubleshooting steps to try:
Wireless Connection issue
Make sure Bluetooth is turned on
First, choose Apple () menu > System Preferences > Bluetooth and confirm that Bluetooth is turned ON.
The Bluetooth menu bar icon should turn:
Black if Bluetooth is turned ON and no devices are connected.
Light grey with three dots if Bluetooth is ON and at least one wireless device is connected.
Light grey (or disappear completely) if Bluetooth is turned OFF, or if the iMac is unable to communicate with the Bluetooth module.
Refer to the Bluetooth Menu Icon table below for more information on determining the Bluetooth status. If the Bluetooth icon does not appear, or if the menu bar status continues to indicate that Bluetooth is off, restart your computer and then attempt to turn Bluetooth ON again.
Bluetooth OFF
Bluetooth ON and connected to wireless device
Bluetooth menu icon
Bluetooth status
Bluetooth turned on, but there are no devices connected to the Mac. See the "Make sure the wireless mouse or keyboard is turned on" section of this article.
Bluetooth turned on and at least one wireless device is connected. See the "Make sure the wireless mouse or keyboard is turned on" section of this article.
When this icon flashes, at least one wireless device has a low battery. Click the Bluetooth icon to identify the affected device, then replace the batteries.
Bluetooth is off. Click the Bluetooth icon using a USB mouse and select "Turn Bluetooth On". Note: Mac OS X won’t allow Bluetooth to be turned off unless a USB mouse is connected.
Bluetooth offline. Restart your Mac. If the Bluetooth status doesn’t change, disconnect all USB devices and restart your Mac again.
Make sure the wireless mouse and keyboard are turned on.
Mouse
Slide the On/Off switch on the bottom of your mouse to turn it on. Note: If the battery compartment cover is not installed properly the On/Off switch may not function correctly or may be difficult to operate. Remove the battery compartment cover and carefully reinstall it.
When your mouse is on and paired, and the batteries are charged, the indicator light glows steadily.
If your mouse isn’t paired with a Mac, the indicator light will blink, indicating your mouse is in discovery mode and ready to pair.
If the indicator light doesn't illuminate, check to make sure you have two good batteries and that they're installed correctly.
Keyboard
Push and release the On/Off switch to turn on the Apple Wireless Keyboard.
When your keyboard is on and paired, and the batteries are charged, the light will glow steadily for several seconds, then turn off.
If your wireless keyboard isn’t paired with your Mac, the indicator light will begin to blink. This indicates your keyboard is in discovery mode and ready to pair with your Mac.
If the LED doesn't light up, remove the batteries to make sure they're good and that they're installed correctly.
Check preferences
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences, then choose Bluetooth from the View menu. The Bluetooth preferences pane will list the Bluetooth devices paired with the computer, the status of the devices (paired or connected), and whether Bluetooth power is on or not.
Click the gear icon and choose "Connect" to connect a device that is powered on.
To set up a new device, click the + icon and follow the Bluetooth setup assistant.
If the Mouse System Preferences pane is open and no wired or wireless mouse is connected, your Mac will immediately start looking for a wireless mouse (with Mac OS X v10.6. For Mac OS X v10.5, the Setup Assistant should open).
Keyboard or mouse intermittently stops responding
Click the mouse
Click the mouse once to reconnect it with your Mac. It may take a moment for the mouse to respond.
Check the battery level of the mouse. Choose System Preferences from the Apple (), then choose Mouse from the View menu. The battery level indicator is in the lower-left corner. Replace the batteries if they are low. Note: Choose Keyboard & Mouse from the View menu with Mac OS X v10.5. For more information on keyboard and mouse battery levels in Mac OS X v10.5, see Desktop computers: Troubleshooting wireless keyboard and mouse issues.
Press a key on the keyboard
Press a key on the keyboard to reconnect it with your Mac. It may take a moment for the keyboard to respond.
Check the battery level of the keyboard. Choose System Preferences from the Apple (), then choose Keyboard from the View menu and select the Keyboard tab. The battery level indicator is in the lower-left corner. Replace the batteries if they are low.
Check for signal interference
Wireless networks that operate on 2.4GHz may cause interference.
Move cordless phone base stations, microwave ovens, and other 2.4GHz electrical devices away from the Mac if you suspect interference.
Keep wireless devices within 10 meters (33 feet) of the Mac.
Avoid putting metal objects between the device and the Mac.
Mouse doesn't scroll up or down or side to side
For mice that have a scroll ball, refer to How to clean your Mighty Mouse.
Check the Scrolling speed slide-control at the top, and make sure the “Scroll” checkbox is checked.
For scrolling side-to-side, make sure the application you’re using supports side-to-side scrolling.
Remember, scrolling is done with one finger, and navigating is done by swiping side-to-side with two fingers.
Navigating moves from page to page in a document or internet browser unlike scrolling.
Mouse does not track as expected (jittery, jumpy, slow, fast).
The Apple Wireless Mouse can be used on most smooth surfaces, however if tracking issues occur try these options:
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Mouse from the View menu. Set the Tracking slider to adjust how fast the pointer moves as you move the mouse.
Try using a different surface to see if the tracking improves.
Turn the mouse over and inspect the sensor window. Use compressed air to gently clean the sensor window if dust or debris is present.
If multiple Bluetooth wireless devices are in use nearby, try turning them off one at a time to see if the issue improves. Bandwidth intensive devices could affect tracking.
Mouse buttons do not work as expected.
The Mouse preference pane allows users to customize the mouse features to meet their needs.
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Mouse from the View menu. Set the Tracking slider to adjust how fast the pointer moves as you move the mouse.
Try using a different surface to see if the tracking improves.
Turn the mouse over and inspect the sensor window. Use compressed air to gently clean the sensor window if dust or debris is present.
If multiple Bluetooth wireless devices are in use nearby, try turning them off one at a time to see if the issue improves. Bandwidth intensive devices could affect tracking.
Keyboard has one or more keys that do not respond.
Use the Keyboard Viewer to test whether the keyboard keys are responding correctly when they are pressed.
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Language & Textfrom the View menu (or International from the View menu in Mac OS X v10.5 or earlier).
Select Input Sources.
Select the Keyboard & Character Viewer checkbox.
Enable the input source for the keyboard layout you are testing by selecting the checkbox next to it.
Make sure that "Show Input menu in menu bar" is enabled.
Choose Show Keyboard Viewer from the Input menu in the menu bar, as shown.
The Keyboard Viewer shows the keyboard layout.
Type the key on the keyboard that doesn’t respond and observe whether the corresponding key highlights on the Keyboard Viewer. If it does, that particular key is functioning correctly. In the sample shown above the shift and command keys are being pressed.
If the mouse keys feature in the Universal Access System Preferences pane is enabled, many of the keyboard keys may not respond as expected.
Try starting up into single user mode to determine whether a software issue is causing the issue.
Cheers,
Judy

Wireless Keyboard (white keys / clear plastic base)

I've acquired a wireless keyboard (the version with the clear plastic frame), and would like to use it with last year's MacBook Pro (running Mac OS 10.6.3). Unfortunately, I don't have the original software CD, and I'm having trouble finding the software here on the Apple site. Anyone have any suggestions on where to find the software? Or, can anyone tell me if that old wireless keyboard will work at all with the new systems? Thanks!

Which exact model keyboard? Is there an Apple model number on the bottom?
I don't have experience with wireless keyboards but generally such items do not require driver installations but just configuration using system preferences. Occasionally there are software updates such as http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/wirelesskeyboardup date20.html

US-bought All-In-One won't accept UK HP inks

My machine is out of warranty. It's a Photosmart CP1680 all-in-one printer/scanner/fax.
I bought it in the US four years ago and when the ink (US "02 cartridge") was replaced with locally-bought (UK "363 cartridge") genuine HP ink cartridges, the machine would not recognise them. It tells me that the machine was configured to work with 02 cartridges. It will not let me proceed beyond that message display.
When the problem occurred then, I began using an alternative machine I had available, which is now kaput.
Any advice appreciated.

Apple Wireless Keyboard (white plastic) disconnects frequently on Mac Pro

As the title states, I have the older white plastic Apple bluetooth keyboard. It disconnects and reconnects at random times a few seconds later, maybe ten time a day. It is connected to a Mid-2010 Mac Pro with the built-in bluetooth. When it does work, which is most of the time, it works just as well two feet away as twenty feet away. Apple replaced the internal bluetooth module. That didn't help.
It will really help my diagnosis if owners of this particular older keyboard (not the aluminum) would report if they are having this same issue and how they solved it. (I don't like the flat Chiclet keys of the new aluminum keyboards.) Also, if you have this older plastic keyboard with a 2010 Mac Pro, please report if it's working for you without bluetooth disconnects.
Thank you in advance.

I want to correct something in my original post: The keyboard that I have has a CLEAR plastic housing (as opposed to aluminum.). Sorry for the confusion.

IPad won't accept passcode after iOS5 update?

Just updated my iPad 2 to iOS5. Turned it on and the passcode prompt has changed, no longer just asking for 4 digit passcode. Oooookay, I entered my old 4-digit passcode and it didn't work. Tried my Apple ID passcode, no luck. Tried the password for the MacBook that the iPad is sync'd to. No luck.
*** Apple?
Anyone? This is a BIG problem for me because I use the iPad for work constantly, and I really don't have time to waste an afternoon at the "Genuis" bar resolving a problem that shouldn't have happened in the first place.
Does Apple even BETA TEST this junk?

Wow, I have just purchased an iPad for my wife and had this exact problem. It didn't help that it decided to lock at exactly the same time I was trying to sync it to iTines on a computer. I did a restore and had to re-install all the apps. All went OK, then it did it again. I went to the Macshop who said they had never heard of such a thing. I would not have thought to try my wife's outlook exchange password unless I had found this post ! Thanks

My MacBook pro stopped connecting to my apple wireless keyboard a while ago. Since it won't connect to a second one, I suspect it's a computer issue. Software thoughts? Updates I've missed? Thanks

About a year ago, my computer and my keyboard stopped connecting. I attributed it to a failed keyboard. Didn't use it much.
Tried today with a second apple wireless keyboard, and it won't connect via blue tooth, either.
Could this be a software/firmware issue that it well known? Or the bluetooth card on my computer is dead?
Thoughts?

And, I get a message saying that the "device does not have the required services."
Thanks again.

Apple Aluminium Wireless Keyboard - Bluetooth setup sees the keyboard but then green light flashes and it won't pair

I am desperately hoping someone can help me out here...
I have a 1st generation aluminium Apple Wireless Keyboard — the one that needs three batteries, as opposed to two — and it refuses to pair with any of my three Macs.
I was originally using it — for a few years — on an old G4 Mac Mini running Tiger then later on, Leopard.
I recently sold the Mini but in the days leading up to the sale some strange things were happening with the keyboard ...the number '7' key became non-responsive 90% of the time and the Keyboard Viewer app showed it as being constantly pressed down. Every other key was working 100% ok.
Fast forward a few days after the sale of my Mini: Now when I try to connect the keyboard to any of my other Macs, the Bluetooth Setup sees the keyboard no problem at all but when I click 'Continue' to go the the pairing stage, the process just keeps failing!
Whenever I turn my keyboard on I get the expected solid green light for two or three seconds, but after that the keyboard's green light keeps repeatedly blinking until I turn the keyboard off again.
I did notice that the Bluetooth Setup will only ever see the keyboard in those first few seconds when the light is a solid green ...if I wait until the lights starts blinking and then start up the Bluetooth Setup, it does not see the keyboard at all.
If anyone can shed any light on this, I would be enternally grateful!!!! ...especially as I was recently made redundant — that's 'Laid-off' for any Americans reading this! — and I would rather not have to buy yet another expensive Apple keyboard when I'm jobless and really should not have to!!!
I read about a lot of people who's Macs sinply don't see their keyboard, but it's extra frustrating for me as my Macs do see the keyboard but won't bloody well pair with it!
Thanks again to anyone taking the time to read this!

The keyboard and mouse should have come from the factory already paired to the Mac. But if it didn't see this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1809

Apple Wireless Keyboard

I cannot get my apple wireless keyboard to work. I changed the batteries and now I can't get it to pair. When I go into set up bluetooth device I click on find keyboard and it shows nothing found. When I click other device it recognizes it but when I type in the passkey (number on the bottom of keyboard) it will not pair. Please help..

Are you using the new wireless keyboard, or the older version?
I am having similar problems with my wireless keyboard. One day it just stopped working. I took it in to the Genius Bar, and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with it either. They replaced it for me. My new one still won't work. It is strange, because my computer recognizes the keyboard, and it seems to be paired. When I type on the keyboard, it is as though the computer recognizes it as a mouse - the cursor jumps around, and if I hit the "I" key, it "clicks" as though the mouse were clicked.
Unfortunately, I am now back at school in Santa Barbara, and there are no Mac stores to visit. Furthermore, I am no longer covered by phone support (you'd think that the wireless keyboard would be covered... no such luck.) Have you had any luck with your problem?

Wireless keyboard A1016 and new MacBook Pro

I have searched but can't find whether my old Apple wireless keyboard (white case) is compatible with my new MacBook Pro. My computer finds the keyboard but then asks for a passcode and it doesn't connect. Maybe I need a firmware update??

{quote}Thank you for your help.{quote}
No problem. I love my white plastic Bluetooth keyboard with the NUMERIC KEYPAD! I plan on using until I die or Apple offers another Bluetooth keyboard with the numeric keypad. I'm sure there are lots of others that feel the same way.
