apple wireless keyboard is not working

Thanks for all the advice. It turned out that my keyboard was still paired with my newest Mac. Once I removed the wireless keyboard from its list the problem was resolved.

I am having a problem but it is not with pairing. Some of my keys seem to make other keys type without hitting them. My 7, u, j, and m keys all generate other letters and numbers as well. So its looks like 79, uo, jl, and m., when I type. It is also the same in reverse. If I hit a 9, 79 pops up and same goes for the o, and period. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this?

My fix was easier. Go to Universal Access Preferences. Click on Mouse then Mouse Keys. Then click on 'Off'' Problem solved!

This worked! Yes, it was my Apple TV! I think it updated while my computer was turned off, and found my computer's keyboard without telling me. I don't use Apple TV much, so I didn't notice it.

Hi guys. I am having the same problem. It is definitely not paired with any other devices, when I restart the mac, i get the login prompt but cannot type anything. I would expect the computer to be looking for a keyboard, but it is not telling me it can't find the keyboard. TIA>

WELL IT IS NOW AUG 2015 AND APPLE CAN MAKE MONEY, BUT CAN NOT MAKE A WORKING KEYBOARD. GO FIGURE. WHAT A ****** UP COMPANY

With Apple...its all about the money. **** you customers...once we sell you a computer **** off.

Sometimes it is so easy. Thanks for the help! My keyboard somehow was connected to my iPad....I'm glad I did not throw all the batteries away!
