bluetooth wireless keyboard can't be recognized by my mac.
Hi,
I just bought a bluetooth keyboard (CMIIT ID: 2009DJ5133. Model: A1314, 2 batteries)
My iMAC can recognize the keyboard but some function keys can't be used. Such as volume control (F10, F11, F12) and I can't read battery volume of the new keyboard. ( I had an old one which is A1225 and can read it in 'System Preferences' and works fine though it has a dirty face ).
I searched on this website and tried some methods but still failed.
My OS is 10.5.8
I tried to install wireless keyboard update 2.0 which indicates to solve this problem (malfunction of F10,11,12) but NOT work.😐
I tried to install '2009 Aluminum keyboard firmware update' but the system told me 'No 2009 Aluminum Apple Keyboards were found'😮
I tried 'disconnect keyboard' -> turn off it -> turn on it (found in this community) --> NOT work again.😟
I tried 'command + options + P + R' to reset the PRAM -> NOT work...😠
I tried on a Macbook too (10.5.8) and failed too 😢
Am I in a dead loop? I try to install update for my 2009 aluminum keyboard but system tells me I don't have one. Or that's why the update 2.0 took no effect.😕
So far, the problem is still there -> I'm typing with the new keyboard but It's not perfect. One-touch controls -- brightness and volume controls, still NOT WORK! What should I do now? Reinstall the OS or upgrade to 10.6. It seems it's a common issue. Does Apple have a solution? (HT3932 seems to target this problem, but it seems it doesn't work.)
Any way out? Thanks a lot!
John
