After Snow Leopard upgrade, bluetooth mouse connects but keyboard will not

Hello David:

Trash this preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restart.

barry

What brand/model is the keyboard?

That file is located in Macintosh HD>library>preferences.

I've got the same problem. Wireless Mighty Mouse working fine. Wireless keyboard was working fine for a few hours, then rebooted and now no longer able to pair it. Trashing the plist doesn't seem to help.

Perplexing.

Hello David:

If trashing the preference file does not help, try resetting the PRAM:

I have the same troubles: bluetooth manager can see my keyboard but can't pair it.

— Trashing the plist
— Resetting the PRAM
— Changing batteries and even keyboard

…doesn't help.

But mouse (Logitech V470) works just fine. Any ideas?

in my case — Apple aluminium bluetooth keyboard

10.6.1 — same troubles (

Anoher intresting fact:

My 10.6 is clean install, but i have another MBP upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6, where keyboard was installed before upgrade. And it works. But! I can't install new keyboard on that upgraded system.

So, system/keyboard connection could be transferred from previous 10.5 system to 10.6 via upgrade, but could not be established on new 10.6 system. Sad.

Error in Console.app after failed keyboard connection:

11.09.09 11:31:45 System Preferences (192) Pairing device failed with:4

Well Apple does it again, I lost my ability to pair my headset, it seems the headset, talks for a sec then drops the headset, I have noticed that when you set up pairing now, the default it is auto pair password and not the normal password request like 0000 so then you have to select the password option. it does see the headset and gives the correct model number

I have a Mac Mini and I purchased a Apple Wireless Keyboard 2 days ago. When I pair it with my Mac Mini the Airport in the Mini goes crazy and looses the ability to connect / find any wireless network.

Initially I thought it was a keyboard issue but if I pair it with my Macbook everything works fine. Both Mini and Macbook are running Snow Leopard.

I also have a bluetooth headset and I just tried to pair with my Mac Mini and it causes the same issues as the wireless keyboard.

Reinstalled Snow Leopard from zero and it didn't fix the problem.

Hello de:

AS a future suggestion, post a question as a new thread. By "threadjacking," you limit your readership and possible assistance.

However, read my posts above and try those things.

I have the same issue.
My mighty mouse stopped responding.
My keyboard was working fine (mac bt slimline keyboard).
I unpaired the mouse and tried to re-pair... It connects but doesnt pair.
I unpaired the keyboard and tried to repair ... it gets to asking me to input the string to pair, but fails.

Ive rebooted, reset PRAM, reset batteries in both keyboard and mouse, delted the plist, stood on one foot and chanted the mystical words of the elefant man...
Nothing has worked.

Anyone found a suggestion yet?
