Pair Microsoft Designer Keyboard To Macbook

Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse, and Magic Trackpad work wirelessly with your Mac via Bluetooth when they're paired and turned on.

Hi, I’m a longtime Mac user, but just got the Microsoft Sculpt ergonomic key board and am trying to assess whether or not it’s workable for me. I’m struggling a bit with the re-mapping process. I think I’ve successfully done it such that the ctrl c and ctrl v again functions like copy/paste as it does on a Mac keyboard. Select Start, then select Settings Devices Bluetooth & other devices Add Bluetooth or other devices Bluetooth Microsoft Designer Compact Keyboard Done. To pair your keyboard with another device, press the pair button. The light will change to the. I recently purchased the ergonomic surface keyboard however I can't get it to pair with my mac laptop. Currently running OS Mojave 10.14. I can see the keyboard in the bluetooth options, however it doesn't recognise it as a keyboard and asks me to type in a code. The keyboard is not connected so I can't type in the code.

If your devices came with a new iMac, they're already paired with the computer. Just turn them on when you first turn on your Mac. To make sure that your device is turned on, check its power switch. If green is visible, the device is on.

If you bought your devices separately — or if they've become unpaired from your Mac — follow the steps below to pair them.

How to set up your wireless device

Follow these steps to set up your Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse, or Magic Trackpad:

Connect a Lightning to USB Cable¹ or a USB-C to Lightning Cable to the Lightning port on the device² and connect the other end of the cable to your Mac.
Make sure that the device's power switch is in the ON position. (Green is visible under the switch when the device is on.)
Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Bluetooth to open the Bluetooth preferences window. When the device pairs with your Mac, it appears in the list of devices.
Check the Bluetooth preferences window to see your device's charge level. When the device is charged, unplug it for wireless use.

1. If your Bluetooth device came with an iMac, a Lightning to USB cable was also included in the box.
2. Magic Mouse can't be used while connected to the cable.

If your device won't connect

How to set up earlier Apple wireless devices

If your Apple wireless device doesn't have a Lightning port, use a wired mouse or trackpad — or the built-in trackpad if you're using a Mac notebook — then follow these steps to set up your earlier Apple wireless devices (such as the Apple Wireless Keyboard, Magic Mouse, and Magic Trackpad):

Turn on your device.
Wait until your device's LED starts blinking, which means that it's in Discoverable Mode. (If the LED is on but not blinking, your device is already paired with another host. To unpair it, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Bluetooth. Hover the pointer over the device you want to remove, then click the button that appears next to the device's name. Turn the device off, then start again at step 1.)
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Bluetooth.
Wait while your Mac searches for your device. When your device appears in Bluetooth preferences, click Pair¹.

1. Apple Wireless Keyboard requires the passcode that appears on your Mac. Enter the 8-digit passcode on the keyboard, then press Return. Earlier models of Apple Wireless Mouse or Apple Magic Trackpad will connect automatically or show a dialog. If you see a dialog, click Pair or press Return.

This guide describes how to use Pair to Mac to connect Visual Studio 2019to a Mac build host. The same instructions apply to Visual Studio 2017.

Overview

Building native iOS applications requires access to Apple's build tools,which only run on a Mac. Because of this, Visual Studio 2019 must connect toa network-accessible Mac to build Xamarin.iOS applications.

Visual Studio 2019's Pair to Mac feature discovers, connects to,authenticates with, and remembers Mac build hosts so that Windows-basediOS developers can work productively.

Pair to Mac enables the following development workflow:

Developers can write Xamarin.iOS code in Visual Studio 2019.
Visual Studio 2019 opens a network connection to a Mac build host anduses the build tools on that machine to compile and sign the iOS app.
There is no need to run a separate application on the Mac – VisualStudio 2019 invokes Mac builds securely over SSH.
Visual Studio 2019 is notified of changes as soon as they happen. Forexample, when an iOS device is plugged in to the Mac or becomes availableon the network, the iOS Toolbar updates instantly.
Multiple instances of Visual Studio 2019 can connect to the Macsimultaneously.
It's possible to use the Windows command-line to build iOS applications.

Note

Before following the instructions in this guide, complete the following steps:

On a Windows machine, install Visual Studio 2019
On a Mac, install Xcode and Visual Studio for Mac
- You must manually open Xcode after installing so that it can add any additional components.

If you would prefer not to install Visual Studio for Mac, Visual Studio 2019can automatically configure the Mac build host with Xamarin.iOS and Mono.You must still install and run Xcode.For more information, see Automatic Mac provisioning.

Enable remote login on the Mac

To set up the Mac build host, first enable remote login:

On the Mac, open System Preferences and go to the Sharing pane.
Check Remote Login in the Service list.
Make sure that it is configured to allow access for All users, orthat your Mac username or group is included in the list of allowedusers.
If prompted, configure the macOS firewall.
If you have set the macOS firewall to block incoming connections, youmay need to allow mono-sgen to receive incoming connections. An alertappears to prompt you if this is the case.
If it is on the same network as the Windows machine, the Mac shouldnow be discoverable by Visual Studio 2019. If the Mac is still notdiscoverable, try manually adding a Mac or takea look at the troubleshooting guide.

Connect to the Mac from Visual Studio 2019

Now that remote login is enabled, connect Visual Studio 2019 to the Mac.

In Visual Studio 2019, open an existing iOS project or create a new oneby choosing File > New > Project and then selecting an iOS projecttemplate.
Open the Pair to Mac dialog.
- Use the Pair to Mac button iOS toolbar:
- Or, select Tools > iOS > Pair to Mac.
- The Pair to Mac dialog displays a list of all previously-connectedand currently-available Mac build hosts:
Select a Mac in the list. Click Connect.
Enter your username and password.
- The first time you connect to any particular Mac, you areprompted to enter your username and password for that machine:
  Tip
  When logging in, use your system username rather than full name.
- Pair to Mac uses these credentials to create a new SSH connectionto the Mac. If it succeeds, a key is added to the authorized_keysfile on the Mac. Subsequent connections to the same Mac will loginautomatically.
Pair to Mac automatically configures the Mac.
Starting with Visual Studio 2019 version15.6,Visual Studio 2019 installs or updates Mono and Xamarin.iOS on aconnected Mac build host as needed (note that Xcode must still beinstalled manually). See Automatic Macprovisioning for more details.
Look for the connection status icon.
- When Visual Studio 2019 is connected to a Mac, that Mac's itemin th
