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.

  • My Apple blue tooth keyboard will not pair with my mac mini

    My Apple wireless keyboard was paired with my Mac Mini. It is no longer paired. I have put in new Batteries. I have pressed the button on the top right hand section of the keyboard, the green led lights up briefly. The Blue Tooth set up assistant appears on screen and searches for the keyboard. I has brifly seen it but does not make a connection. The Magic moose is doing the same thing.

    Hi Darrell,
    If your Apple Bluetooth and keyboard are not paring to your Mac Mini, then take a look at the article below to walk you through some general troubleshooting to get it to pair and start working again. If you have not done so already, try looking form anything could be causing interference like cordless phones as well and thing metal between the keyboard and the Mac Mini.

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard won't pair with iMac...

    I just bought a new 27" iMac and had customized and shipped from Apple (didn't buy it off the shelf in the Apple Store).
    When the new iMac got here today, I connected it to my aftermarket (wired USB) keyboard and trackball. It works fine.
    My problem is that I need to use my old iMac for several days while I get files off of it, etc. (don't want to use migration assistant). My old iMac is last year's 24" model.
    When I start my old iMac, it comes on and brings up a "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" window and starts automatically searching for a bluetooth keyboard. I read the instructions online, and powered-on the Apple Wireless Keyboard that came with my new iMac. I powered on this new keyboard, and my old iMac starts to recognize it (it says "Attempting to connect to keyboard"), but then says there has been an error, and doesn't recognize it.
    The instructions online say that when I power on my Apple Wireless Keyboard, the green light on it should start blinking. It doesn't. It just comes on for about three seconds and goes off.
    What's wrong? I need to get my old iMac to recognize this keyboard. I can't even safely shut if off if it doesn't. Could it be that it was already paired to the iMac it came with? I've replaced the batteries, and still it doesn't work. Please help!
    Thanks!

    Well, of course that had occurred to me. But I need to use both computers at once for a while, and I only have one wired, USB keyboard.
    Anyway, I eventually got it to work. I still don't know what the problem was.

  • Original Wireless Mouse will not pair with computers using OSX (10.6.2)

    I have two original Apple Wireless Mouses (Mice?) [Model No: A 1015 EMC No: 1938] neither of which am I able to pair with either of my Macs (Mac Pro & MacBook Pro). I believe there is some kind of incompatibility issue with these devices and the Snow Leopard OS.
    When I try to set up the wireless mouse using Bluetooth Setup Assistant a connection is established, but the pairing attempt is unsuccessful. I have tried using all of the Passcode Options, but each time the pairing attempt is unsuccessful.

    I am having the exact same issue. After switching batteries last week, I was no longer able to pair my original Wireless Mouse (model A1015) either. I'm also running 10.6.2 and never had this problem before.
    When setting up the mouse, it does appear in the Bluetooth connection panel, correctly says "Connecting" but then stalls in the "Connected" phase and then times out with "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful".
    I tried restarting my Mac and leaving the batteries out of the mouse for a day, to no avail. I just repaired my Apple Wireless Keyboard successfully, so this seems to be mouse-specific.

  • My Bluetooth keyboard will not pair with os7 after working perfectly before the update

    My iPad mini won't pair with my Bluetooth keyboard anymore after updating to os7

    Forget the device again, then turn off bluetooth on your iPad, then turn both the iPad and the keyboard completely off. Wait 30 seconds to one minute. Now turn on your iPad and turn on bluetooth. Turn on your keyboard and pair them up again.

  • TS3048 My Bluetooth wireless keyboard is not paired with my imac and I cannot my password in to access the iMac

    I unpaired my Bluetooth keyboard and paired it with my iPad. When I went to re-pair it with my imac, the log in screen appeared, telling me to enter my username and password to access the computer. Obviously, I cannot do that with having a paired keyboard. How do I pair the Bluetooth keyboard when I cannot enter my password?

    Well, the tiny green light comes on and blinks. . . After a frustrating time, I turned everything off.  Later, when I tried the keyboard again, it worked.  I guess the bluetooth process takes longer than expected.  So thank you for taking the time to help a technically impaired person!!

  • HP P1102w Wireless Printer will not pair with a Motorola SBG6782-AC Wireless Cable Modem Gateway

    I previously had AT&T U-verse Internet using an Arris IPDSL NVG510 Wireless Modem Gateway.  My HP Laptop running Windows 8.1 and the HP LasrJet Pro P1102w Wireless Prnter routinely  & automatically connected to the NVG510 Wireless Network  without any problems over the past two years, and the wireless Printer worked without problems. I recently replaced the AT&T U-verse Internet connection with a 25 Mbs Comcast Xfinity Intrnet connection, using a Motorola Arris SURFboard SBG6782-AC Wireless Cable Modem Gateway.   My HP Laptop running Win 8.1 Pro connects to the Network and accesses the Internet with no problems what-so-ever;  However,  the HP LaserJet Pro P1102w wireless Printer does connect to the Wireless network and I cannot Print at all from my laptop. I have tried all the P1102w Wireless Printer Setup suggestions from the HP Printer Support Site, but to no avail.  I have also updated the Printer Firmware and Loaded the latest Full Product Installation & Driver Software.  I have tried and re-tried these suggestions over the last two days, but with no luck. I would greatly appreciately any help from the  experts  in this Forum.  to get the printer to work wirelessly, since we also  wirelessly print to this printer from  IPads and other wireless laptops.  

    Hi , I see that you are having issues connecting the printer to the new router. I would like to help you. I would reset the printer first to clear out any previous network settings.
    Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise. Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IP address are cleared.
    Printing a Configuration Page. If the network name has any spaces or special characters, the printer may not recognize it. The printer is only capable of sending/receiving in the 2.4 ghz band. If it is set to 5 GHZ network you may need to change to 2.4 ghz. (rename the 5 ghz or shut it off)
    The WPA key setting needs to be on AES to work correctly not TKIP.Multi casting needs to be turned on.
    Firewall on router has to have open ports for printer.
    If you have Mac Filtering you need to give printer hardware address from Configuration page.You might need to contact your router company for further assistance to check those settings. Try running the Wireless Configuration Wizard from the HP software to configure the printer over the network. If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below.If you have any issues, please let me know what steps you have taken and the results. Thank You.  

  • Wireless keyboard not pairing with IMac while mouse

    I am having trouble with the wireless keyboard entering my password when booting up. It will not let me enter any characters. My wireless mouse & trackpad seem to work fine. Right now I am submitting this issue through my Ipad (3rd Gen) using the same keyboard that will not pair with my IMac. I called Apple tech yesterday and he had me remove  the new batteries from the keyboard and depress the power button for one minute, then replace the batteries and power up the Imac. That solution seemed to work yesterday. Last evening i shut the machine down and tried to start today and had the same issue. The keyboard is working fine with this Ipad and had no trouble recognizing it on bluetooth. Has anybody had this same problem, I was considering purchasing a USB apple keyboard until I tried the keyboard with a different device (my ipad)

    How did you get on? My brother is having a similar problem, he bought a replacement wireless keyboard which is not recognized by/paired with his iMac and thus he can't login..

  • My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus 3.0) is recognised by my iMac but will  not pair?  I have paired it with my iPad using code 8310 but it still will not pair with my iMac.  Can someone help please?

    My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus brand - bought recently in Thailand)(similar to Mac small keyboard) will pair with my iPad using code 8310,and is recognized by my iMac but will not pair?
    There are very scant instructions with the keyboard and no mention of any code (the code was prompted by my iPad).
    I have followed the instructions but it still will not pair with my iMac!
    Can anyone help please?
    My iMac is 20 inch  Mid 2007 OSX10.9.1 4GB RAM

    Hi All, thank you for you suggestions.  I have been unable to find any website for the maker, but have looked at several Thai/cambodian sites incl <http://www.buycoms.com/Article/8435/index.asp>  which mentions the keyboard being suitable for tablet or windows.  No mention of iMac!  although the box is branded to indicate Mac compatable.
    I'm thinking that maybe it just will not pair with an iMac.
    Ill keep looking for the maker website, which might come on later in the future? maybe?
    thanks again.

  • Macbook pro will not pair with Vizio sound bar.

    Macbook will not pair with Vizio sound bar. It has paired and worked fine in the past. in the menu bar at the top of the screen it says it is connected but it is not. when I open the bluetooth preferences and try to pair it says pairing failed. any help would be great. thanks.

    Me too. sigh
    All was well until this afternoon, when I swapped out the batteries on my trusty old Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth, which has worked flawlessly for me for a few years now. After I put new batteries in, my MBP wouldn't recognize it. I went through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, and it "saw" the mouse and properly listed it as "Microsoft Mouse". I hit "continue", of course, and the Assistant said "Pairing with your Bluetooth mouse". It got as far as "Connection established" (and I saw the mouse appear in the Bluetooth preference pane", but then I got the dreaded red words: "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. Make sure your mouse is in range of this computer, turned on and "discoverable." Etc., etc. I made sure of all of those things and tried again, many times, with the same failure every time. I tried different batteries, rebooted the Mac, and so on. No luck.
    Figuring my mouse was dead, I went out and bought a Kensington Slimblade Bluetooth Presenter Mouse, brand new, never been paired with anything. Same problem!
    Also, I can no longer get my Palm Treo 650 to sync via Bluetooth. It used to be a little flaky (often complained that the port was in use by another application), but rebooting the Treo always solved that. Now, it doesn't.
    One trusty old mouse suddenly stops pairing, one brand-new one refuses to pair, smartphone won't sync any more. I haven't installed any system updates or anything else since the Microsoft mouse worked. The only weird thing going on is that I'm having massive network connectivity issues with my broadband connection (probably a flaky cable modem), and a couple of days ago I bought a new Airport Extreme a/b/g/n wireless router, which is at the other end of the house from my computer and now-defunct mice.
    Very bizarre. Can the Bluetooth chip or antenna in a MacBook Pro burn out or otherwise fail?
    Puzzled and frustrated,

  • 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?
