If your Mac keyboard, mouse, or trackpad indicator light is flashing...


When your Apple wireless keyboard, mouse, or trackpad is turned on, the indicator light flashes twice in succession, pauses, then repeats (blink-blink-pause, blink-blink-pause). This means the keyboard, mouse, or trackpad is “discoverable” by your Mac, and you can connect your Mac with it. After 3 minutes, the indicator light turns off. The keyboard, mouse, or trackpad is still on, but it is no longer discoverable. To make it discoverable again, turn it off, then turn it back on.
