Pairing an Apple Keyboard with Windows 10
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 май 2019
- In this episode I'll show you how to successfully pair an Apple Wireless Magic Keyboard (first generation, MC184B/A) with Windows 10 (Version 1809). I've found so much conflicting information on the web, so I'm showing you what worked for me - in May 2019.
I'm using a HP Z800 Workstation here, with a no-frills Belkin F8T013 (early millennial vintage).

Excellent advice, from both you and the fellow who first found the solution. I paired my keyboard with a brand new HP all in one and I'm typing this kudos with it.Thanks a lot.And I'm subscribing to you. It's people like you who put in the time and effort that make the internet more than a toy and a plaything [though it is those things as well].
After a ridiculous amount of searching for how to do this and failing, I found this video. Worked like a charm. Thank you!!
That's great to hear Jennifer - enjoy the Mac feeling on Windows :-)
If anybody else has the problem that your computer requests a PIN for the keyboard - just type any 8 digit number and press connect. While it is still connecting, enter the same 8 digit code on your keyboard and press return. Also keep on pressing that button on the right side while doing it. Felt so silly but worked for me!
I was trying to pair it for half an hour and you comment made it work ! Thanks so much !
hahah it works
you are a legend
works!!!! Thanks!
1234 worked for me
thank you...the "pairing" step was missing in any other hint on the internet...your instructions helped..thank you again
Thank youuuuuu!!!! I've been researching how to do this for two days. Yours is the only one that worked. You're the man!!
Excellent, that's great to hear! Enjoy the Mac on Windows experience - you're going to love it :-)
thank you!! been looking for a resolution for a while and am so glad you posted this. happy new year!
Thank you for your kindness in sharing this information with us. I am a 75 yr old lady with disabilities and yet I had no trouble following your easy to understand instructions. Again, many thanks, sir.
You just made my day. Especially considering I've been working on a laptop on my dining room table since the beginning of the pandemic, which has taken its toll on my back and needed to set it at the right height.
YEY! Another back has been saved 🤩
Thx mate, you made my day, have been searching a long time for this solution:-)
Worked perfectly first time. Thoroughly explained, thank you.
Thank you for this easy tutorial!! I'm typing in te exact model of apple keyboard in a Lenovo Gaming Laptop because the keyboard in my laptop is damaged by rain water... very bad accident, I know... but by your help now I use this apple keyboard and I save money!! thanks again, you are awesome!
Life saver! 3 years later and it still isn't clear in Windows settings or when searching for online solutions. Thanks for the help!
Thank you! The steps were clear and helped me finally get my keyboard connected.
Thank you!!!! This was so much more helpful than the the few other videos that played before I found yours that had more views that yours. I knew how to find the "connect a bluetooth device" on my laptop. That part is easy! Yet somehow that's the ONLY thing other videos took the time to demonstrate! Thank you for actually pointing out the steps necessary on the magic keyboard itself! P.S. Yes, I typed this comment from my Apple Magic Keyboard! :)
That's so nice to hear, thank you. And happy typing :-)
Thank you - super helpful, quick and all set up (and typing from my wireless keyboard!)
Cheers, this worked for me just as you showed. Nice work mate!
I tried this for ages and ages, but to no avail. I then thought, change the batteries, and Hey Presto, it worked a treat. Thank you so much for this :)
Worked a treat! Typing this on my Apple Keyboard on Windows 10!
This was amazin been searchin for 6 hours now
thanks for the help! just paired my Apple Keyboard to my Lenovo Thinkpad. I searched and searched but the missing step was pairing the keyboard to the computer. Thanks so much!!!
Thank you! The holding down the button to get into pairing mode did the trick for me!
I have a Magic Keyboard with Numeric keypad and although my keyboard doesn't have the button on the side, I followed the instructions here to enter the number (onto my magic keyboard) that showed up on my laptop, followed quickly by hitting "enter" and then I hit the connect button on the screen. It worked!
Thank you. The one set of instructions that finally paired my apple keyboard to my PC.
The WP Guru... I can't tell you how grateful I am for this. Thank you so much for this video I've tried everything but to no avail. But this right here did it for me my keyboard is now working 100%. Appreciate it a great deal.
That's wonderful to hear! 💜
thank you so much i didn't even know there was a pairing mode
Hey! It even worked in my Android Huawei after a couple of tries ! Perfect! Thanks a lot!
Thanks man, this worked like a charm!
An short and effective video - the first working one for me, on this issue! Great work
Great, I've just written this on my newly paired keyboard :)
worked perfectly. Thank you. Crazy how many things I had to go through first that were not at all helpful before finding this.
can't believe how convoluted but super thankful for your video!!!
Thank you for the this. I followed your instructions and I'm now typing from my apple keyboard and couldn't be happier.
I’ve never owned a Magic Mouse. The keyboard experience is great for regular typing, even though as a long time Mac user the CTRL+C took a bit of getting used to (when your brain wants to press CMD+C). The media keys don’t work without something like Magic Utilities (which costs money), and I found that a drawback. I no longer use my Mac keyboard on Windows and have since upgraded to a Logitech Craft. That’s on par with the typing experience of a Mac keyboard and has the advantage that it works on both my Mac and PC, I can even copy/paste between them and move the mouse from one machine to the other. It was a better solution for my situation.
Thanks, WP Guru. This worked! I had to power off the keyboard completely and then power it on and then into pairing mode by continuously holding it down. From there, it was discovered, gave me the code, which I entered on my Apple keyboard and voila!
Thank you. It took me a few times, but it worked. Stay well
so glad I found this video. Thank you!
Thanks for this, non-abhorrent audio quality and no rambling, very refreshing
What are you talking about, there was rambling, he didn't even explain how to remap keys. How am I suppose to use the Windows key on my Apple keyboard??? There is none.
Oh my goodness, thank you, sir! All the other instructions I found online were lacking in the pairing department.
It took me a while to figure that out too 😂 I’m so glad it helped!
Life saver! I just set one up for my wife and it worked perfectly!
Thanks a lot WP Guru- that worked as I had almost given up:)
Awesome. Worked perfectly for me. Much appreciated
Thanks a million. pairing flash was not clear but it worked in the end,
Thank you so much! (This was typed on that keyboard.)
Wonderful, was having trouble getting my keyboard to show up in the linux partition of my mac. Thanks!
This was super duper helpful, thank you!
You are the best. I was using bootscamp and my mac was stuck in Windows and i couldnt get out. Thank you man You earned a new sub.
So helpful! Thank you!
just what i was looking for, thanks
Thank you so much for this valuable assistance!
Well done mate, great post. Got it working.
This worked for me! I have a 10 year old Apple wireless keyboard and I got it to pair with my Microsoft surface (not a laptop I recommend). Thanks so much!!
This worked perfectly, thanks a lot!
Great video, worked like a charm.
Bravo! Thank you so much for this video. Your video was the only one that gave me the correct instructions and in a short time and that worked!
Great to hear it!
Awesome, thank you! Yours was the only video I could find to help. Cheers Champion!
Thanks a lot mate, I was bangin my head as to why my damn keyboard wouldn't connect, this video was a life saver, just what I needed
Im writing this with my Apple Keyboard which means it worked! Thanks a lot!
Thanks Emily … I followed your steps and it works well with my new DELL laptop
great - simple and easy - well explained
Finally! Why do they make it so damn hard?! Thanks so much
Thanks, great video, easy to understand! Didn't have to jump through hoops!
Brilliant vid, all the other vids just weren’t working this worked great
Your video has been super helpful! I am now using the seldom used A1314 keyboard to express my thanks :) You saved me almost $150 with which I was contemplating to buy a new keyboard!.
This is the most useful video this year!
thank you so much!! worked for me. great instructions! :)
Working like a charm in december 2021. Thanks a lot!!
Awesome! This is a must have for me!
Very much appreciated, saved me hours of pulling my hair out lol!
Thank you! That was so easy with your help!
This was so helpful, thank you!!
this video was great to help me pair this old keyboard to my windows 10 machine.
Thank you so much, you just upgrade my day
Thank you!!! Saved me buying a new wireless keyboard! Used my imac wireless keyboard from 2009.
it worked perfectly, thank you !
thank you so much, very easy and helpful video!
thanks man this worked like a charm
Thanks man appreciate it
Thank you so much BRO!!!!!!, I will Send Prayers
this worked great!! thank you!!
Tried this on Windows 10 Bootcamp on Mac and it works just the same. Thank you
thank you it worked great ! subbed !
Thank you so much Sir, I was finally able to get my magic keyboard to work with PC via bluetooth after 4 years of wired connection. Appreciate you. God Bless.
That's wonderful to hear, glad it's working. This drove me nuts too 😁
super helpful thanks!
thank you very much , worked like charm
That worked, thank you sir!
Thaaaaaaaaaank Youuuuuuuu, days of searching with no result!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! (-typed on my apple keyboard, FINALLY!)
This is the only video that helped me! Make sure that no USBs are connected to your computer or imac when you turn it on so that it forces itself to look for bluetooth keyboards then keep holding the keyboard button down and dont let it go until it connects and numbers show up on the screen that you need to type out
It worked perfectly...though it took me a few tries to get my timing down. Thank you!
You are a legend mate, thank you
OMG thank you. The blinking is what ALLLLLL the internet was missing. Thank you! I wasted two hours this am.
man ... i never ever gave a thumb's up ... until now ... your video is rock solid advice ! thanks
Thanks for the vid. In my case I was missing hitting enter after typing the code and also I didn't have to continue pressing down on the power button after the keyboard went on pairing mode.
LIFESAVER! Thank you so much.
Perfect! Thanks a lot !
Many thanks! My current laptop currently has a defective keyboard so this made for a great alternative while waiting till we have enough funds to get it repaired.
Same I have defective keyboard and I am trying to use this but I can’t get this to work
@@PS99Clan2_EZ it does get a little finicky but it worked on mine from 2009. That laptop ended up having a mainboard issue that resulted in the same problems even after replacing the actual keyboard, so it quickly became my go-to since once you’re able to get it set-up through the steps it will always connect back without hassle or cables
Hello, thank you for the tip it really helps me! And thank you it did work!
Thank you so much. This was very helpful! :)
This is the best answer I found. Thanks
This does not work for my 1st gen keyboard. If anyone else has this problem here's the fix - settings -> bluetooth devices, if your keyboard is listed unpair it. Close that, right-click on the Windows button, select "run". Type "devicepairingwizard" into the bar. Choose your keyboard from the list. This opens a pop-up that asks for a code. Directly under that it says "I don't have a code" or something to that affect. Click that, it displays a code to type in your keyboard, do that and hit return. You have to do it fast so it may take a couple attempts. Be sure to hit "return" after typing the code or it won't work. It then says "connecting". It takes a Long time to connect, maybe 2-3 minutes. Wait it out and you are good to go.
Excellent Joe, thank you so much. I've pinned this comment, hope this will be helpful for anyone with a 1st generation keyboard. 😍
@@WPguru Hopefully not many will need it, lol. You need to be a little tech- savvy but I had no choice but to use it since the normal method wouldn't work.
I followed this approach. did not get the message about not having a code. So I entered 0000 on the pc, and then 0000 on the Apple key board. Bingo
Wow this still works in 2024! Thank you very much
Tysm. A real one
Great step by step instructions.
