Software :: Apple Wireless Keyboard Won't Pair?
Feb 27, 2009Several months ago, my white Apple Wireless Keyboard began malfunctioning - for example, typing 'a' would result in 'ahz'tu' or something to that effect. I thought perhaps the keyboard needed a thorough cleaning, so I turned off my computer and keyboard, removed all of the keys and brushed it clean with a stiff-bristled brush.
I replaced all of the keys (with the help of a diagram) and turned on my computer. However, my keyboard would not connect, and remained in 'discoverable' mode (the light on the back was blinking three times in succession). I turned it off, unpaired the computer and keyboard and replaced the batteries. Nothing changed.
Using the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, I tried to make a new pairing. The Setup Assistant recognised the keyboard as a discoverable device, but when it came to typing in the passcode and hitting Return nothing happened, and the connection timed out. I tried several times to enter the passcode; I closed and reopened the Setup Assistant; I restarted the computer and keyboard; and tried more than one fresh batch of batteries.
Since then, I have tried:
- repairing the keyboard everyday
- deleting all Bluetooth pairings (mouse, mobile phones etc).
- installing the latest Bluetooth firmware update
- deleting Bluetooth preferences in Library > Preferences
- running permissions repair on HD
- pairing with a separate D-Link dongle (tried every USB port, too)
- resetting PRAM
My Apple Wireless Mouse still works (connects and pairs). The keyboard wouldn�t pair with another computer (MacBook running OS 10.5).

OS X :: Bluetooth Keyboard Pair With 2 Macs?
Jul 6, 2009We have a 20" monitor that my wife mainly uses, but I like to use it sometimes too. We have just been using the built in keyboard with the external display.
We want to buy the bluetooth Apple keyboard, but we are wondering if it's possible to pair 1 keyboard to 2 Macs. Is it as simple as turning bluetooth off on the Mac that's not using the bluetooth keyboard at the time? Or would we have to set up and go through the process of pairing them every time it needs to be connected to the other Mac?

View 7 Replies View RelatedMac Mini :: Reformatting With Wireless Keyboard? (Alternate Ways)
Nov 5, 2010Trying to reformat my mac mini. I'm a designer and haven't reformat for some time now. I'm fairly new to Mac, I got Original Disc's. I need to reformat but I have no hard-wire keyboard. I know/heard/tried doing the "hold down C" and "option" but I'm assuming its not working because I have a wireless keyboard?
Question: Is there an alternative way in doing a Hard/Complete/Erase reformat when having a wireless keyboard. What options do I have? I have also tried going over to Utility and erase section but the options to select or rename and type, is "un-selectable"? Is this normal?

Hardware :: Apple Bluetooth Keyboard Will Not Pair With IBook?
Nov 18, 2006I just got a new Apple Bluetooth keyboard and it will not pair with my iBook. When I use the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, it sees the keyboard, and then asks me to type the passcode. I type it, hit the Return key, and it just sits there forever. I didn't have an issue pairing the keyboard with my new Mac Pro. What am I doing wrong?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMac Mini :: Can't Seem To Find A Way To Pair Remote?
Jan 2, 2010I've recently received my refurbished March 2009 Mac Mini. I want to use it as a media center and have an harmony remote that I would like to use to control it (mostly for boxee).My problem is that I can't seem to find a way to pair my remote with it. Let me explain.
So I launched Logitech Harmony Remote Software and added a new device, the Apple Mac Mini. I then updated my remote and finally updated my remote.Now, I have a macbook pro and a mac mini. Without pairing anything, I can effectively control the sound on my macbook pro, but not on my Mac Mini. Yes I've checked in the system pref in both machines, nothing is paired and I do not have a real apple remote.
If I use the pair function, it does pair with my macbook pro and keep controlling it and still does nothing on the mac mini (expected).If I unpair it then close my macbook pro and use the pair function near my mac mini, it still do not want to pair.My question is, aside from bringing it to the apple store to get it checked, is there a way to test if my IR port is working on my mac mini?

May 23, 2012I have changed both sets of batteries. Turned them off and back on multiple times. Only reason I am able to ask this question is because I'm using my phone. I need my computer back. No I don't have a wired mouse or keyboard laying around. The mouse isn't registering or moving on the screen. The keyboard was working until I tried turning it off and back on. Now nothing is working.

Apr 4, 2009I've just bought a Mac mini to use as a media centre, and I picked up the Apple wireless keyboard and mouse while I was at it. It wasn't until I got home that I read the "requirements" section on the side of the mouse and keyboard boxes, where it states that an existing keyboard and mouse are needed for setup.
I have a USB mouse, but no keyboard (my other Mac is a MBP), and nowhere to borrow one from (all my friends have laptops).

Hardware :: Apple Wireless Keyboard Vs. Apple Wireless Pro Keyboard?
Aug 19, 2010I was just wondering what all of your thoughts were regarding these two keyboards. I know I can't get the Wireless Pro new anymore, however I can get it used for $20 from someone I know.
The new aluminum one however, I can get for about $40 used or just buy a new one for $70. I'm looking to buy a used one so it's pretty much the Wireless Pro for $20 vs the Wireless Aluminum for $40.
This will be going towards a set-up with my MBP which will be on an mstand, with an external monitor. I've already gotten the Magic Mouse so I'm trying to find a nice Bluetooth keyboard to compliment it.
Mac Mini :: Swap Out Mini PCI-E Wireless Card In 27"?
Jan 22, 2010Anyone tried swapping out the Mini-PCI-e for anything else?
Ive been following the custom upgrades and ive upgraded every Mac computer ive bought over the last few years - its now time for me to change the studio as its running an aging G5! But ive fallen in love with the 27" IMac - my head says no, my heart says yes yes yes!
The problem is it doesn't have the ins and outs for a proper pro machine and no PCI-E of course...but im willing to live without a couple of PCI-E cards for this beautiful machine, especially as im planning on putting two Intel X25-M G2's in, in a software raid 0 config by removing the opitcal drive (as I have done on my macbook pro)
which got to me thinking, i'll have all my network access via ethernet - so I wondered, any chance i can pull that wireless card out and swap it for something else...perhaps thread something out of the CD slot and around the back?
I need some bigger storage on here, so i'll be using the FW800 port for a 2tb 7200rpm external drive, however, i still need FW400 devices and I dont want to slow the FW800 drive down by daisy chaning them on...so...
Any chance one of the mini-pci-e to firewire 400 adapters will work in the iMac and in OS X?
Also ive seen this "PEMINI2X1 is a PCI Express Mini to PCI Express X1 adapter"[URL]
Any chance you could use "some" PCI-E cards with that outside of the imac, im thinking specifically the UAD-2...
Getting either extra FW400 port, or a PCI-E card externally via that slot would enable me to go one of two ways to having the perfect system for me.
Any just to confirm, im right in thinking the 4 USB ports run on two separate USB buses?

On my keyboard when I push mute or volume up or down, the computer shows the mute/vol up/vol down icon on the screen when I push it and it makes the volume sound, but it does not actually mute the tv or make the volume go up or down. Only the actual TV controls will make it work.
View 8 Replies View RelatedMac Mini :: Sporadic Wireless Connection With Mac Mini?
Oct 20, 2008I have a Mac Mini (OS X 10.4.11); internet & email worked fine when I had it hardwired to cable. I've since moved it to the other side of the house and it has problems connecting to the wireless network (linksys router). The wireless network is strong, and my laptop (PC) never has any problem connecting. The Mac, however, sometimes connects no problem and works well for a while, and then just dumps the connection and won't reconnect. I can't figure out what makes that happen. I finally get frustrated and walk away, and an hour later when I walk back it's working again. The signal strength indicator will vary from full signal strength to zero (even though my laptop never has any problem at all connecting). I live at the end of a cul-de-sac with basically no neighbors, so I don't see there being any sort of interference. I stopped by an Apple store today and the best the salesman could do was blame Comcast, my internet service provider.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMac Mini :: New Mac Mini Ethernet Versus Wireless
Apr 1, 2009it seems loading webpages and downloading a lot of files at the same time, I thought the ethernet would be the fastest but its not.
This is very strange and my wireless on the mini is so much faster in loading webpages (no more inbetween stops) and its just overall faster.
It seems like using ethernet slowed down my mini like it was doing some tedious work to use the mini's ethernet capabilities or something.
Anyone else experiencing this? I've also tweaked with a lot of settings under ethernet, got the right ip address for it with the right port as well.
Mac Mini :: How Can I Eject A Disc From Mini Without Keyboard Or Mouse
Jan 26, 2009I recently obtained a Mini which I've connected to my TV for watching movies/etc. I don't have a keyboard or mouse on the Mini.I ripped a disc the other night (via a remote connection) and realized that I don't know how to eject the disc from the Mini without a keyboard, mouse, or remote connection from my MBP. I suppose there is probably some way to script MTR and then execute a disktool afterwards but what if I'm just watching a disc and want to eject it?
