To turn on your iMac keyboard (Magic Keyboard), locate the power switch on the back edge of the keyboard. Slide the switch so that green is visible.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Locate the Power Switch: The power switch is a small, sliding switch found on the rear edge of the Magic Keyboard, typically on the right side.
-
Observe the Switch Position: When the switch is slid to the "off" position, you won't see any green color.
-
Turn On: Slide the switch in the opposite direction until you see a small area of green. This indicates that the keyboard is now powered on.
-
Pairing (if necessary): If your keyboard is not already paired with your iMac, it should automatically enter pairing mode. Go to System Preferences > Bluetooth on your iMac and select your keyboard from the list of available devices. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the pairing process. If it doesn't automatically pair, check that bluetooth is on on your iMac.
Troubleshooting:
- Check Battery: Ensure the keyboard has sufficient battery power. If the battery is low, connect the keyboard to your iMac using a Lightning to USB cable to charge it.
- Bluetooth Connection: Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your iMac.
- Restart Keyboard: If the keyboard is on but not working, try turning it off and on again.
- Restart iMac: Restarting your iMac can sometimes resolve connectivity issues.
- Unpair/Re-pair: If the keyboard is already paired but not working correctly, try unpairing it from your iMac and then re-pairing it.
