Your keyboard has a power switch. Try turning the power off for a few seconds, and then back on again. That should wake it up.

I usually don’t remember to shut it down after use. When I get back to it after a long absence, it won’t respond to any keyboard commands, and I am less than skilled with my portable touch pad. I end up having to press the button at the back to get VO to say anything at all, usually the help tag for the item I was on when I left. I end up pressing the button and holding it to get to the menu to shut it down, but if I want to go to restart, I have to turn on my touch pad and flick to that. The keyboard is a nice, new Apple Magic Keyboard complete with the Touch ID, which is currently attached with the USB port, though I know it also works on the bluetooth. I have not checked recently to see if this happens with Bluetooth, but I think it does. Why is this Mac unwilling to communicate with its own keyboard? Can anybody help me? Thanks. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
