can't pair bluetooth keyboard with Yosemite

I had to remove all BT devices and then add keyboard first.

This is the only one that worked for me. Thanks.

This worked for me when I unpaired it from the apple TV.. who knew

I too had the same issue after updating with Yosemite. Paired keyboards to iPhone, unpaired keyboards and they jumped right on my Mac when trying again. Really irritating to have such a hassle just because i upgraded to Yosemite!!

thank you thank you THANK YOU! Didn't even realize I had paired it with my ipad at some point... so glad this worked! 🙂

Thank you. Very good advice. I removed my keyboard from its bluetooth link to my new mac and did the same on my old macbook. Then paired with the new one. Once paired with the new one, the old mac could not located the keyboard to connect with it. Seems like Yosemite is a jealous operator.

Awesome script! Worked like a charm, thanks a lot for that dude! 😀

I solved my problem.

My keyboard was found but would not pair. It was quite frustrating. Resetting did not work.

What I discovered and solution:

During a software update on my mac mini, my bluetooth devices redirected to my iPad, and macbook. So I simply turned off bluetooth on my iPad and macbook and then my bluetooth keyboard could connect to my mac mini again. For further reference, I decided to delete (ignore) the bluetooth devices from my iPad since I hadn't connected in a while.
