new late 2012 iMac 27" stuck on bluetooth keyboard setup screen

Hi all,


I recently received my new 27" iMac (late 2012 model) that I ordered with a USB keyboard. When I first start up my computer to take it through the set-up procedure, it wants to pair a bluetooth keyboard (which I did not order), and will not continue the setup without one.


Any suggestions?


Thanks,


Chris

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)

Hi,

I have the same issue but did not see your question before.

I get this problem witgh bothe a late 2012 and a late 2009 usb keyboard.

i can solve it with an extra usb 2.0 extension cable and plug the keyboard in that.

i also was able to solve it by using a usb drive on the keyboard port. that triggered recogniotion.


How did you got your problem solved?
