  • Mgic keyboard not working after upgrade to Ventura

    From Peter James@21:1/5 to All on Sun Dec 11 09:58:10 2022
    I upgraded to OS 13.0.1 Ventura and everything works OK except my Magic Keyboard. It shows up in SystemSettings as not connected, and I can't connect it. Any advice from the NG?

    I tried three times to re-establish a Bluetooth connection with my Apple keyboard, but without success.
    Thinking it time for desperate measures I connected it to the Mac by the power cable to ensure that it had sufficient charge. The charge showed 76%, at which point it started to work again without me having to make a fresh Bluetooth connection.
    You do have to wonder at computers don't you?

    The Apple keyboards and mice re-bind bluetooth when plugged in by wire.
    So effectively, you did.
