[QUOTE="travisjtodd, post: 798328, member: 85177"] [b]Fixed This Problem[/b] I figured out how to fix this problem and figured I'd post to give this thread a conclusion. 1. Step one is to plug in another USB keyboard. (you may have to go through the process of setting this one up, but Apple makes that pretty easy) 2. Then turn on your bluetooth keyboard. 3. Type an easy to remember passkey into your bluetooth keyboard and press enter. 4. Wait a couple seconds for the information to float magically between your devices. 5. A box should pop up prompting you to enter a passkey. 6. Type the same passkey from step 3 into the field using your hardwired USB keyboard. 7. The device should pair. 8. Now go to your Bluetooth Setup Assistant (either in System Preferences or if you have it turned on, in your menu bar) and choose Setup a New Device ... 9. Proceed to setup your keyboard using the wizard. Viola! Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
