If your devices came with a new iMac, they're already paired with the computer. Just turn them on when you first turn on your Mac. To make sure that your device is turned on, check its power switch. If green is visible, the device is on.

It was released alongside the Magic Mouse 2 and the Magic Trackpad 2 in October 2015. An extended layout version called the Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad was released in June 2017.

I wanted the Apple Magic Keyboard 2 but didn't want to spend $99.00 for a new one. I was initially hesitant to buy a 'refurbished' keyboard because, at least to me, it meant 'used.' But I decided to go ahead with the purchase because I could always return the item, whether through help from the retailer or Amazon. Telecharger google chrome pour macbook.

How to set up earlier Apple wireless devices

If you're not sure which device you have, you can learn how to identify your Apple wireless mouse, keyboard, or trackpad.

Then use a wired mouse or trackpad — or the built-in trackpad if you're using a Mac notebook — and follow these steps to set up your earlier Apple wireless devices (such as the Apple Wireless Keyboard, Magic Mouse, and Magic Trackpad):

  1. Turn on your device.
  2. Wait until your device's LED starts blinking, which means that it's in Discoverable Mode. (If the LED is on but not blinking, your device is already paired with another host. To unpair it, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Bluetooth. Hover the pointer over the device you want to remove, then click the button that appears next to the device's name. Turn the device off, then start again at step 1.)
  3. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Bluetooth.
  4. Wait while your Mac searches for your device. When your device appears in Bluetooth preferences, click Pair1.

1. Apple next os x release. Apple Wireless Keyboard requires the passcode that appears on your Mac. Enter the 8-digit passcode on the keyboard, then press Return.

I use an Apple wireless keyboard with my MacBook Pro when I have it connected to a monitor. I am considering purchasing an iPad for its mobile characteristics and anticipate the possibility of using both devices at the same time. It would not seem possible to use the keyboard for each device when they were both on, but how could I use it for either device separately? My thought is that whichever device was on would receive the Bluetooth signal from the keyboard, hence one keyboard for the two devices.
Am I on the right track?
