I have tried, tried, and re-tried to pair my new Belkin YourType Wireless Keypad with my iMac with no success. The iMac does not even see it. HELP!
iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
Never mind. I finally figured it out. The Quick Start Guide leaves much to be desired.
Hi,
Having the same problem. Would uniquebobc let me in on the secret, as I see you have figured it out :-)
Baselnielsen:
I finally realized that I had not pressed the on button (right end of the battery tube) hard enough to turn on the device. After I actually turned on the device, I was able to sync it. [Just ignore the comment about the key to the right and hit the enter key.]
This is crazy but it works. I had been trawling through Google, looking at (other) Apple discussion forums, and getting nowhere. I was about to give up when I came across uniquebobc's post (thanks!). Having followed the various guides, including resetting SMC and other exotica, I can't believe the solution was as simple as pairing the keyboard, then pressing the power/discoverable button on the keypad firmly for several seconds (in the manner of a hard reset), then hitting the large key that isn't actually marked 'Enter' but is in the place that the Enter key usually occupies. It worked straight off. I am dumbfounded but still really, really upset with Belkin's poor after sales service. They've lost a good cutsomer here.
How do I pair a Belkin YourType Wireless Keypad with my iMac?
