no detectable Bluetooth keyboard

I had difficulty getting my mac toquit programs without a hard reboot, then some programs open but only a gray screen and then will not close.  This has led to several reboots. Now, my keyboard is ignored?

Hello jhillsaz1,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how it is important to keep your Mac running healthy, and I will do everything I can to help. With different symptoms that you described, there are a few steps that we can use to isolate and resolve the problem. Since you have already restarted, our next step would be to reset your SCM (System Management Controller), which helps control systems of different material on your Mac and the NVRAM. These articles will guide you through these processes. Neither one will remove all data from your Mac.

Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.
How to reset the NVRAM on your Mac.

If the behavior persists after you follow these steps, I would advise you to start in safe mode. Who will tell if the question is related to no third-party plug-ins or add ons. You can restart in Mode safe by following these steps:

  1. Choose the Apple menu > shut down.

  2. After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.

  3. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.

    You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.

  4. Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

To exit safe mode, restart your Mac, but no press during the startup.

If you have any questions or concerns that the entire community is here to help.

-Best regards-

  • Iconia W700: Bluetooth keyboard not detected in Windows 10 x 64

    I'm trying to update all computers at home on Windows 10 and it was pretty painless for most of the devices so far. However, I can not get my W700 Iconia tablet to recognize the Bluetooth keyboard.

    Is the keyboard with integrated lid, and I followed the procedure, as indicated on the Acer Web site, to hold the power button on the keypad for 5 seconds to put it in discovery mode and then adding a Bluetooth unit device. Of course, the menus have new sites, but are not hard to find.

    I have updated the driver for Bluetooth on the Tablet, but who has not remedied the problem. I looked around and couldn't find any mention of this problem here or elsewhere, probably since Windows 10 has just launched a few days ago.

    Okay, so I don't know if the driver was actually the question, but Acer documentation to set the Bluetooth keyboard pairing mode requires that you hold down the power button until the two LEDs on the departure of keyboard alternately as on a police car.

    If anyone is reading this and it still does not allow you to associate the keyboard, then here are the steps to get the right Bluetooth driver:

    1. Open Device Manager (right-click the windows down icon on the left)
    2. Expand the "Bluetooth" category in Device Manager
    3. Right click on the Bluetooth driver (should be first in the list, if there are several devices listed)
    4. Click on uninstall
    5. Restart the tablet. Bluetooth driver is reinstalled on reboot.
    6. Reopen Device Manager after the connection
    7. Right-click on the Bluetooth driver, then click on "update driver software... »
    8. Select the option for Windows find the driver software.
    9. An update must be downloaded and installed.
    10. Now, repeat the pairing steps detailed above, and you should see an option for the pair the keyboard appear in the Bluetooth settings.

  • Bluetooth mouse lag when Bluetooth keyboard is connected

    Hello

    I recently bought a Lenovo Thinkpad with windows 8, and I noticed a really annoying problem. I have a Bluetooth mouse and a bluetooth keyboard and my keyboard works fine, but when my Bluetooth keyboard is connected, my Bluetooth mouse is REALLY bad. If the keyboard is off then the mouse works great, only it messes up if the two are connected at the same time.

    I have seen several discussions on the Bluetooth mouse problems when playing games or transfer of data, but mine does all the time if I have my keyboard connected at the same time.

    Is there anything I can do to fix this?
