One thing with A1314 on newer OS like Ventura. During pairing when asked for the code you may think that the code is not being accepted. As you type you don’t see the code on the screen to be typed but the OS takes the code as you type it in. So simply type in the code and hit the return key.
I have two Magic Keyboards which are the newer model with a power switch rather than a button, and a lightning port for charging.
They were previously paired with iMacs that are no longer available.
I can’t get either keyboard to show up as Bluetooth devices on anything I try to pair them to.
I haven’t been able to find any answers online for these specific models that works.
Any suggestions?
May I just say thank you? I have tried many times to get my keyboard working but your article really helped.
I used your Resetting the Bluetooth Device Firmware instructions, and still had to try it multiple times until it worked. Just letting people know in case it helps!
Resetting the Bluetooth Device Firmware (see note)
This worked for me on an older wireless keyboard – thanks very much!
I have a bluetooth keyboard I bought from Amazon. I use it with my Macbook Pro. All of a sudden, the z x line doesn’t work. I disconnected the keyboard, “forgot” the device, and restarted my Macbook. Now in addition the that line, the return button doesn’t work. The option, control, spacebar, etc are all functioning fine.
5-25-2023: Magic keyboard (older) would not connect via Bluetooth. M2 Apple Mac. The only thing that worked was to continuously hold down the power button on the keyboard, even through entering the verification code. Thank you!.
Thank you so much for taking the time to spell this out! You saved my keyboard and my sanity!
Thank you! I was about to throw the damn thing out of the window. You save me 🙂
It WORKED ! I was also going to trash the damn thing LOL
Thank you!
Sure glad I had an Apple Magic Mouse as a spare! I had a panic moment for a sec after I accidentally disconnected the keyboard AND the trackpad! I had only read and followed the short blurb Google posts on top of your link!
So far this is working perfectly, and I’m grateful!
Thank youuu!!!
I had tried it all and I was desesperate. This worked and I’m back finishing my tasks.
Thank you Dave!!!!!! Several days searching this trick!!!
