Solutions w/ pairing wireless keyboard?

[jprint714]

Like many others, I’ve had a lot of trouble pairing my Apple wireless keyboard w/ my computer (a G4 laptop) via Bluetooth. It usually works, but sometimes when I restart my computer I loose my Bluetooth connection. I go the Bluetooth Device Set Up, select Keyboard or Any Device, reboot my keyboard, select my keyboard, but after Assistant says it’s “gathering information about your device” I keep getting “The pairing attempt was unsuccessful…” !!!

I’ve repaired permissions, restarted countless times, deleted bluetooth plists, updated wireless keyboard firmware, changed batteries...

Any other suggestions? Thanks!
