I have one of the older magic keyboards that takes 2 x AA batteries. The problem I have found both with this keyboard and with my bluetooth mouse is that makes of batteries (even expensive makes) can vary in length by a fraction of a millimetre. That's bad enough in a mouse where the batteries are single-mounted, but doubly bad in a keyboard where two batteries are end to end. When my keyboard failed there was no way I could find of reconnecting it after following all on-line advice, until I thought of putting a thin pad of folded Alfoil between the batteries and the screw cap. Worked a treat! Problem fixed. I've had to do the same with my mouse.

THANK YOU! i'm glad i found this video even though it didn't actually mention the keyboard not turning on as advertised. This was also my problem, not pairing but the keyboard wouldn't even turn on. the little bit of aluminum foil did the trick! Thank you so much!

Hello bro, I was installing windows 8 in macOS high sierra through bootcamp assistant, after installation the system was asking for a code number written on the back of the bootable device, when I went to check, by mistake the PC wire is disconnected from mac mini. After restarting the computer, the display is showing that "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key", now the keyboard is disconnected from computer and I have tried many attempts to connect with computer but still it is not connected, now I am stuck in this situation. Please help me 🙏🙏🙏🙏

After I recharge the battery in my keyboard, as soon as I unplug the cable the iMac no longer recognizes the keyboard via Bluetooth. The keyboard is charged, Bluetooth is on, the computer recognizes that the keyboard is there, repeatedly attempts to connect to it, but can never connect. The only thing that works is rebooting the computer. But since the keyboard is not connected you cannot type in the password! I have to reconnect the cable to the keyboard to type in the password. When the computer boots up, it then recognizes the keyboard via Bluetooth. This is a frustrating problem that I've had on two iMac's, an older one and now a fairly new one. It is an Apple design problem. They need to fix the problem so that keyboard and mouse connect NO MATTER WHAT.

My wireless Magic keyboard stopped working. I tried everything that was suggested on this video. None of of it worked. Bluetooth indicated my keyboard was connected but it was not working. I tried another keyboard and it would connect and work. The problem must be with the keyboards transmitter. I took the cable that was included to charge the keyboard and mouse and connected it between the keyboard and a USB port on my computer. The keyboard started working better than it ever has. I no longer have to wait for the computer to connect to the keyboard. As soon as I turn the keyboard on, it works. I suspect the wireless transmitter on the keyboard is not as reliable, or performs as well as a wired connection. You should consider connecting your keyboard by wire if the suggested resets do not work. I prefer the performance of the keyboard with the wire connection. Apple needs to work on the performance and reliability of the Bluetooth connection on the keyboard.

mine has a connect button and does not have the delete button in bluetooth preferences. the connect button does not connect it and restart of the computer didn't work either. The keyboard is charged. I have a new apple magic keyboard model and a Mac mini. I was using the keyboard with my iPad last and I removed it from bluetooth on the iPad before trying it back on the Mac mini. It usually is used with the Mac mini all of the time. Just had this problem after using the keyboard on the iPad and going back to Mac mini.

Fixed: On the iPad, I hit disconnect, then forget. Then, this is key, turn the iPad off. When I left the iPad on, I could not get the keyboard to connect to the Mac mini. So then keyboard off, keyboard on, Mac mini restart, then it connected to the Mac mini and I'm typing on it now!
