I use an Apple wireless keyboard and the Not Connected message appeared this morning on my MacBook Pro. The KB and MBP are in close proximity to one another and I have never seen this message before in this position. It will occur when I take the MBP elsewhere in the house and always reconnects automatically when brought back to the KB.
Even though I had not received a low battery alert, I changed the batteries. When turning the KB on, I noted the blink-blink-pause pattern denoting that the KB should be discoverable.
In System Preferences, I checked to see if Bluetooth was on and the MBP discoverable. Then went to Keyboard/Set Up Bluetooth Keyboard and it will not discover the keyboard. I then went to Change Keyboard Type and it would not recognize it there either.
I removed and reinstalled the KB batteries, restarted the MBP, turned the KB on and got the two blink pattern, repeated the set up process in System Preferences and no change.
Any and all thoughts or comments are appreciated.
