Wireless keyboard does not work after waking up from idle

After MacBook Air went to sleep, wireless keyboard does not properly connect to MacBook - I can wake the MacBook up, but meaningless numbers are sent, and I cannot type in my password. Have to "open" MacBook, and use keys - disconnect and re-connect wireless keyboard. I also use Magic Mouse and it works flawlessly. Problem is small but annoying. Any help?

TS3048 My wireless keyboard does not turn on. Yes batteries are new and installed correctly

I don't know why my wireless keyboard is not working. I can't sign onto my computer. Installed new batteries and yes they are installed correctly. I'm wondering if maybe it doesn't work anymore. It's only a couple of years old!

Hi, Mike.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your keyboard is not functioning. Here is a troubleshooting article that I would recommend going through for this.

Wireless keyboard does not work with Safari.

Space bar does not work when using Apple Wireless Keyboard with Safari to fill web forms.
No problem with Firefox.

Im going to assume you are using the Apple Wireless Keyboard with your devices.
Whats probabaly happening is both of your devices are trying to connect to your keyboard at the same time and it is causing it to not function properly.
I suggest you disable bluetooth on the device you AREN'T using and try it again with the one you ARE using.
If this doesn't solve your issue, try re-pairing the keyboard with the iPad you wish to use it with. It may have just not made a strong connection.
Hope these suggestions help!

TS3048 wireless keyboard does not work

Hello:
Try resetting the SMC.

Wireless keyboard does not work

both my wireless mouse and keyboard had stopped working. I rebooted and the mouse started working but the keyboard is still not working.

Check to ensure that the batteries in the mouse and keyboard are not flat. It sounds as from your description that it may be the case with the keyboard or that you need to reconnect the keyboard to the wireless dongle.
You have not specified whether your wireless keyboard and mouse are HP or aftermarket. It would help if you did that.

Wireless keyboard does not auto setup with a mac mini

I have just bought a mac mini and am trying to set it up, the only keyboard I have is the apple wireless keyboard. I have switched the Mac on and it finds the "magictrack pad" but does not seem to find the key board. The keyboard light flashes for the the 3 minutes looking for something to pair with - I have managed to pair it with my iPad (and remove the pairing - afterwards) but it does not auto-pair with the "new" Mac. The problem is that I cannot go any further (to allow me to complete the full setup procedure) without filling in the information that is required and I cannot fill in the information required without a keyboard. I do not have a USB (or any other keyboard) so I seem to be a little stuck. - Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Is there any way of connecting a PC laptop to the Mac Mini and use the keyboard on the PC?

Not sure what your process was but try this.
Make sure the Mini is off. Hold down the button
on the keyboard to make sure it is off. Next
start the Mini and as soon as you hear the
start up chime, press the power button on the
keyboard. Be sure not to press any other keys.
For what ever reason, timing is critical with the
keyboard pairing at boot time. This is only an
issue when doing things that require a keyboard
at boot. Once paired, it connects fine when normally
booting.

Ok so I got my mac mini today and I am trying to set it up but my wireless keyboard does not sync up. I have tried entering the code that the mini displays but still cannot get past the sync keyboard screen. Since I dont have a wired keyboard ...any ideas

Happy Thanksgiving. Any ideas on how to sync up a brand new man mini with a wireless keyboard. My attempts at following the directions have been frustated so far. Entering the numerical code has not yet led to a successful sync up.

Alright, very good.

Wireless keyboard does not pair

Hi,
I paired successfully a keyboard to an iMac awhile ago and then I couldn't get it work for a reason I don't know and let it go.
Now Ineed this wireless keyboard for another computer and I would like to try once again to make it work.
Here's my problem :
Ther keyboard is recognized by the bluetooth assistant (with my name by the way). Then I get the code to enter and then the pairing fails. And I know I have to press the enter key ! My batteries are ok (green light). I have tried on a friend(s computer, same thing and the keyboard is also recognized with my name on his machine. Is there a way to globally reset this keyboard and start from the beginning ?
Any idea would be welcome !

Hello p:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
Try trashing a preference file and restarting (com.apple.bluetooth.plist).
I would also reset the PRAM:

New Wireless Keyboard does not function Ctrl+Alt+Del in Windows 7 32 Bit

As the subject, does anyone can help me ?

HI, Michael;
Crystal Reports 2008 is the only version that is tested / certified and supported on Windows 7.
Another thing that I noticed from your post - Crystal Reports XI does not work with VS.NET 2008 - are you sure that is the version you are using? Which versions of our .NET assemblies do you have in your project?
Best Regards,
Jonathan

A new wireless keyboard, does not work with 10.6.8.

but works with the Iphone, so the problem is not at the product I assume...

Hello:
If it is paired with the phone, it needs to be unpaired before it will connect to another device. BT devices (for obvious reasons) may only be paired with one thing at a time.

It is the top row of letter Q-O (but P works) and the botton row Z-M. any ideas?(I am using a wired keyboard right now!)
Thanks

...I'm an idiot. My power supply wasn't connected properly. (the light was green, not red to indicate charging)
Once I fixed that, everything is working properly.

I updated to Yosemite, now my laptop keyboard does not work in MS Word for Mac. Help!

I updated to Yosemite, now my laptop keyboard does not work in MS Word for Mac. Help! Any suggestions for fixing this?

Did you ever get a solution to your problem? Because I am having the same problem. I was actually in the middle of using Word when the keyboard stopped working. But it works in other apps, including in Excel.
Thing is that my laptop just got back from Apple for repairs and they replaced everything but the display - including the hard drive.
So not only do I have plenty of hard drive space, but it should be virus and error free otherwise.
I have only installed a few programs and redownloaded some of my files from places like Dropbox, but otherwise is essentially a new system.
Oh - and it came with Yosemite, so I did not upgrade to Yosemite and still Word doesn't work.
I've always had trouble getting Word to play nice with my Mac but that was also with the old, full hard drive.
This is a fresh install. And since I lost all my files, I only had like 1 old file I have downloaded from email and accessed and was in the process of
creating a new file when it crashed. I got no error, the keyboard just stopped working (to type). I also cannot even get Word > Preferences to even open,
so it is completely unresponsive.
I did a Google search and under the Microsoft communities two suggestions to that person were that there may be multiple copies installed -
I have only the one - and that one is in the wrong place - again, I only have the one and it installed to the Hard drive (visible in Launchpad / Apps).
Another suggestion was that there was some problem with the updates. I ran updates and they installed fine. That helper suggested that the user
may have had different updates that worked for the other Office apps (Excel, PPT etc.) but not Word and that was at least part, if not all of his problem,
but all my Office apps show the same update version 12.3.6, so that cannot be the issue with me.
I've not yet tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but as I got no errors on the original install or updates, I'm not sure if that would fix it.
I've found that Mac just doesn't play nice with some programs at all.
And even though I have a factory installed version of Yosemite on a new, fresh hard drive, even when I booted up, my iPhoto app (which is empty) crashed. I am not sure if my iPhone or iPad was charging at the time, but I don't think so. iPhoto that I still have not even used has crashed several more times since, most notably when plugging in my iPhone / iPad to charge, namely when I declined to upload photos (by default) to DropBox. That may not be related at all, but thus far seems the only other problem I have encountered until this Word problem.
I'm on a MacBook Pro, Sept. 2009, running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 factory installed from Apple repairs running Office: 2008 for Mac (Home and Student edition).
Please advise if you found a resolution and what it was.
Thanks

How is my laptop working even though I spilled iced tea on it? The keyboard does not light up but works normally, and everything else seems to be in order!

how is my laptop working even though I spilled iced tea on it? The keyboard does not light up but works normally, and everything else seems to be in order! The front of the bottom is hot while the rest if mildly warm. I don't know if its going to have a problem in the future. I wiped off as much as I could with a cloth and left it open and upside down for 10-15 minutes. Any idea if I am in the clear?

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service. Do not wait.
