A:

I've got the same problem and didn't find any answers when Google-ing (is that the right spelling? )

 

However;

1. I went in the folder Library/Preferences/ and search for the file "com.apple.Bluetooth.plist" and deleted that.

2. Restarted and held left "alt" to choose boot. Logged in to Windows.

3. In the logging - try to type. If that doesn't work, try this:

     A) Hold the powerbutton on your keyboard to shut it down. (the green light should dissapear, then let go).

     B) Hold the powerbutton while the green light shines, and 2 blinks. Then let go.

     C) This forces the keyboard to re-pair.

4. If the typing doesn't work anyways, type/login with the help of the visible keyboard.

5. Try to re-pair again whilst logged in.

 

This worked for me!

    I have this problem too..but my problem is extended to the whole windows partition..i have windows 8,and when i log in my microsoft account,i get black screen; i have to force quit the IMac by holding power button.

    If i try doing like u said,when i delete the file "com.apple.bluetooth.plist",i'll be able to use keyboard again without problems on mac partition?

     

    I have an IMac pro 21.5',half 2011..any solution?maybe i have to download again the ISO of Windows 8 from microsoft website?
