I'm not exactly sure why, but my apple wireless keyboard (previous version; white) and mouse (single button) does not want to work with my G4 iMac.
Both devices work fine on my Macbook.
on my G4 iMac, I do not have a built in bluetooth module, so i found a bluetooth dongle lying around at home and plugged it in. It instantly recognized the dongle.
While pairing the devices, it stalls on "connection established" and doesn't move forward.
When i go looking under "bluetooth devices" in the "system prefs", both devices are listed and for each, says:
Paired: Yes
Configured: Yes
Favorite: Yes
Connected: Yes
however neither the keyboard nor the mouse actually works.
I'm thinking it might be the bluetooth dongle that's not "compatible" ?
It's a no-named brand, so would purchasing a D-Link one remedy the problem? Or are there other recommendations?
Thanks for any help I can get
