Q: Apple Wireless Keyboard(2007) won't connect to my Macbook Air(2013)

I recently purchased a Macbook Air(2013) replacing a Macbook (2008).

 

When I attempted to connect the Apple Wireless (2007)keyboard to the Macbook Air, it prompted me to input a code.

 

After numerous attempts, I am not able to use the wireless keyboard with the computer.

 

Please offer me step by step directions as I am actually not the sharpest tool in the shed.

 

BTW, my Apple Magic Mouse connects effortlessly.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

    Hey gcymbaluk,

     

     

    Thanks for the question. The following article provides troubleshooting steps for the issue you described. I have included the relevant section for you:

    Keyboard

     

    - Push and release the On/Off switch to turn on the Apple Wireless Keyboard.

     

    - When your keyboard is on and paired, and the batteries are charged, the light will glow steadily for several seconds, then turn off.

     

    - If your wireless keyboard isn’t paired with your Mac, the indicator light will begin to blink. This indicates your keyboard is in discovery mode and ready to pair with your Mac.

     

    - If the LED doesn't light up, remove the batteries to make sure they're good and that they're installed correctly.

    As mentioned above, your keyboard may be in discovery mode, or may need to be re-paired with your new MacBook Air. For information on pairing the keyboard, see this article:
