    Make sure the KB has fresh batteries.

     

    Turn off the KB and then turn off the iMac.

    Turn the KB on so the light comes on.

    Turn on the iMac.

    As the iMac boots up keep pressing the spacebar on the KB every second or two (this keeps it discoverable for longer).

    Then, when you get to your login screen or desktop it should be paired.
