Windows 7, bluetooth, apple keyboard

[Xee]

Trying to pair an apple keyboard with windows 7 but it wont work after inputting the pairing code. Just says:

Unkown error. The reported error code is:0x80070575.

Works in XP, but not Windows 7. Any advice?

Sorry, but this problem sounds like it's going to be very hard to fix, an issue with Windows 7 Bluetooth implementation.

Are you able to test any other devices, at least you know then if it's a general problem or specific to the Apple keyboard.

OK long time since I got back to this but still same problem.

Tested keyboard on my Vista laptop, lets me chose a pair code, and its connected and working in seconds. So keyboard still works.

Back to the Windows 7 PC, paired up another bluetooth device, and its connected and working in seconds.

So why does Windows 7 not like my Apple bluetooth keyboard? Currently using latest release candidate, but its still the same as the beta I posted originaly about. It gets as far as asking for the code, but only after I have pressed enter on the apple keyboard, then after about 3 secs it just says error, if I but in the code or not. Any ideas?

Could simply be an issue with the current Win 7 bluetooth implementation; you have to remember that it's not the final build yet, so may work with some things and not others.

My Apple wired keyboard works fine on Win 7 (using it to type this) if that's any help to you, so it has to be something to do with the bluetooth.

out of interest try another bluetooth device. my logitech dinovo edge works fine in 7..

I have tried other bluetooth devices such as an iPhone etc, and they connect fine with Windows 7. I just cant understand why its having a problem with this keyboard.

Have you activated Human Control Devices in the bluetooth sync options?

Hoping that's the answer, will check when I get back home.

Did you ever fix this problem, I'm having exactly the same issue with Windows 7 32 bit. It recognises the keyboard, but when I click on let windows generate a key it come up with the above error message.

Looks like I'm going to have to buy a Dinovo if it can't be fixed!
