With other Bluetooth keyboards I've received along with a computer, they've been pre-paired ahead of time, so I know I need to remove the pairing before they are ready for use with any device. The iPad is the only device to which I believe this keyboard has ever been paired. I had previously paired the keyboard to an iPad, and now that I have removed the pairing from the iPad, I would like to pair it again to do some testing, but now the keyboard, which had previously appeared as "Apple Wireless Keyboard" only appears as "Keyboard" for about 3 seconds before the green light on the keyboard turns off (right about when I expect to see the light flashing to indicate it is ready for pairing). Unfortunately, I am having the same issue, and I have NOT been able to find any information online that details how it might be possible to force the Apple Wireless Keyboard (2009) into pairing mode, if it is convinced that it has been paired with anything. Long story short, to reset a wireless apple keyboard, the trick might be to get away from any bluetooth signals, and then hold the power button down until it goes into discoverable mode. It was blinking! So I ran back in the building and right to the computer that I was trying to pair it with - it was immediately discovered, entered the digits, and it WORKED! It only took me half a day to figure that out. Then I pushed and held the On/Off button, and it went into pairing mode.
I grabbed the keyboard, went outside ( without my phone in my pocket) and walked about 20 meters away from the building. Under Pairing your Apple Wireless Keyboard with another Mac - " First unpair the keyboard If the unpaired Mac is within 33 feet (10 meters) of the computer your keyboard is currently paired with" gave me an inspiration. I tried the main solution offered here, holding down the power button to put keyboard in pairing or discoverable mode, but it did not work for me. Like many others, I've been searching for a way to hard reset a wireless keyboard seemingly stuck paired to another computer.
