Re: pairing a Bluetooth keyboard

[Sarah k Alawami]

Hmm we’ll see when apple releases a new update. i’ve heard through my grape 
vine that it is going to happen soonish.  Then you can try and pair your key 
board.

Good luck.

Hi all,

I've been trying to pair an apple bluetooth keyboard to my mbp for the last
couple of days.

When I get the pairing request dialog, it says enter the following code.
I go to review the code and I have consecutive numbers from 1 to 8.
I enter in what I believe to be the code which are the afforementioned
numbers, and the pairing request fails every time.
has anyone else had this issue under maverics?

I just cannot get the thing to pair, no matter what I do.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: pairing a Bluetooth keyboard

[David Griffith]

I remember that when I paired a Bluetooth keyboard under Lion I eventually
had to get sighted help as the time out on the Mac Keyboard utility was so
short that by the time I had navigated voiceover from the pair button to the
part of the screen where I could read out the numbers I was due to enter I
could not get them in in time. This may or may not be your issue.
