I just bought a new Mac-mini. My keyboard was working fine. I hooked up a new Magic Trackpad and now the keyboard will not connect. I can’t type in the password to get to the Bluetooth to connect it manually. It connects to my iPad just fine. I don’t connect the iPad to the keyboard ever, but I needed to see if it was a keyboard issue. Is there some sort of compatibility issue between the trackpad and the keyboard (both are apple products)
