It gives me options for country language but THE BLUETOOTH KEYBOARD DOENST WORK. The magic mouse works but i cant get past the Create a computer account screen since i need to input some letters. I cant login or access my mac and restarting also boots into yosemite and i don't know how to get back to mavericks. HELP cant use my mac :/

Hello Warboss,

Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the keyboard is not responding. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues - Apple Support

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.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Have a nice day,

Mario

It was in discoverable, but i couldn't pair it as i could not login to my system. I fixed it by right clicking into text fields etc. and going through text settings and messing around until i reached keyboard settings and then i paired it from there. Hope this helps anyone!
