All of a sudden my bluetooth keyboard (not the mouse) keeps losing connection and then regaining it after a few seconds, as a matter of fact I have had considerable trouble typing this note I have tried changing the bluetooth settings in System Preferences and the keyboard settings also with no success:Grimmace:. I would guess I have lost connection six or seven times while typing this one sentence.
To say it was annoying would be an understatement so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

You didn't mention whether or not you checked the batteries?

Try resetting the PRAM. If that doesn't work, also try resetting the SMC.

I have had this problem with my keyboard as well. In my case after weeks/months working normally the keyboard disconnects and will not reconnect. The keyboard can be seen but won't pair. Sometimes this goes on for a while. just before I am about to throw it out I put in batteries one more time and it starts working. Don't know why that happens.
