Apple wireless keyboard OK with iPhone, but not iPad2

My wireless keyboard types correct symbols on my iphone 5, but not on my iPad2.  It does type the correct letters, but most of the symbols (both when in "lower case" and caps lock) are different from what's on the keyboard.  How can I adjust my iPad2 so the keyboard types the correct symbols. Virtually all the **** numbers plus symbol keys type symbols different from what's on the keys, though most of the symbols are covered by some other keys.  It's just not feasible to go searching by typing 10 or 20 keys to find one symbol, and then not to know whether to use the Shift, Ctrol, Option or Command or maybe even fn and then which key to guess will get the symbol I need.
Please advise.
Thanks,
dan

Thanks for replying, very kind. I'm unable to log into my account.. As a guest, I'm not able to get access to any of my system preferences.
I think my imac has accidentally paired with my new apple tv remote.. I bought apple tv yesterday, was very excited but now wish I hadn't connected it. I'm unable to work on my imac which is very problematic on a workday.
How can I unpair the apple tv remote from my imac if I cannot get access to my system preferences to unpair any devices?

  • HT204387 BOSE Bluetooth wireless headphones work with iPhone but not iMac - Profile issue I assume - but why not!!!!

    I have a great pair of BOSE wirless headphones that connect faultlessy to my iPhone.  I'm very dissappointed however to find that I cannot use the same headphonse on my iMac or my MacBook Air.  I assume it's a bluetooth profile issue but in product utility terms it makes no sense.  Is anyone aware of a way of circumventing this resytiction (e.g. third-party product, mac setting,...etc)?

    Yes. This has to be the 8.xx iOS.
    I have experienced this since purchasing the 6+. Now, I attempting to pair the phone to Sync in my Ford F150, it
    can't find the phone. I go through any number of attempts: rebooting the phone, finding a bluetooth device on Sync, etc.
    Most of the time it shows a "cannot find bluetooth device". Or the Sync shows a pairing number to type in the phone in order
    to pair, but the iPhone doesn't see Sync, so nothing can be done.
    Sometimes, and I mean only sometime, the device is paired by itself. (On sync, "choose input: usb or bluetooth" and trying this
    several times, Lo and Behold.....wait for it......the iPhone 6+ connects!
    This is not what I had, an iPhone 4S, that one pairing, and always paired. (truck off, crank and instantly paired). The old days!
    I have check Ford to look for an update. I have the latest from 2012. The final one for my truck model year.
    This version of iOS needs works and must be updated again.
    I don't know who to contact at Apple but the mods here don't say how to do that.  It another Apple waiting and see.
    If I find a solution, I will post it immediately. I hope you will post as well. Thanks for reading.

  • Will an Apple wireless keyboard pair with an iPad2?

    Is an Apple wireless keyboard designed to pair with an iPad 2?  The instruction book refers to a Mac computer but never to an iPad.  I keep getting the "Pairing Unsuccessful" message after I type in the 4 digit code that the iPad tells me to enter on the keyboard.  The keyboard gives me the flashing light saying it's ready to pair, but doesn't make the hook-up. The keyboard is just a foot from the iPad.  Any suggestions?

    This might help.
    Note the following:
    The original Apple Wireless Keyboard, introduced in 2003, is not compatible:
    Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003): Features a white case and uses four AA batteries.
    In addition, many third-party Bluetooth keyboards that use the Apple keyboard layout are also compatible. Check with the keyboard manufacturer for additional information.

  • Wirelessly iTunes see my iPhone, but not my iPad

    wirelessly iTunes see my iPhone, but not my iPad???

    You do NOT have to plug the iPad into a power source to sync with WiFi. I sync without plugging my iPad every day. Like Dah-veed, I do not auto sync. If you have all of the settings configured correctly, the iPad does not have to be plugged in to a power source to sync with WiFi.
    The iPad will sync AUTOMATICALLY, if the iPad is plugged into a power source and if iTunes is running on your computer. It does not have to be plugged in to sync manually.
    When is set up to sync wirelessly - I made the selections like Dah-veed indicated above and then I clicked on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes to lock in the setting. You have to apply the changes that you make in the iTunes sync process.
    BTW - I have the original iPad - not the iPad 2.

  • Photos uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iphone but not with ipad

    Photos which are uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iPhone but not with iPad. Photos taken with iPhone or iPad are synced with all devices. So, why I do not get the uploaded photos from my pc to iPad? I alredy disabled photo stream on all devices - same failure

    If only one device is not getting updated data, you need to troubleshoot that device and not photostream itself.
    Verify that ipad is connected to wifi, charged over 20 percent, camera app is closed and take a photo of the screen (or anything else, but then close that camera app).
    Open photostream folder on that ipad and see if picture shows up. If you network is good, should not take long.
    Don't forget that while your phone can use wifi and cellular (even it suppose to use wifi for photostream, cellular networks got much better since original photostream was implemented) - you ipad is probably wifi only.
    If picture shows up - you ipad and photostream have no problems and you can go to other devices one by one.

  • Does the 1st generation apple wireless keyboard work with an iPad?

    Hi
    I want to get a keyboard for my iPad but I don't know if this one works with my iPad 2. Can someone help please??!!

    Should work just fine, I have a 1G Apple wireless keyboard and it connected just fine to my iPad 3.
    Any reason why you want to use a first generation Apple keyboard? They require 3 AA batteries and can drain them fairly fast. The second and present wireless keyboard only needs 2 AA's and the batteries last much longer. I use rechargeable batteries in my 2G keyboard as well and since my charger only charges batteries in pairs makes the 1G limited to alkaline batteries.

  • Why is my Apple Wireless Keyboard connected and paired, but I can't type anything?

    Hey,
    I’ve been using Apple Wireless Keyboard (A1314) for a year now. Yesterday it stopped working. I can see it’s connected and paired, but I can't type. I tried unparing and pairing it again and sometimes it helps - I have no idea why, but once in ten attempts it works. When it works, though, some strange happen - like my Mac increases it’s volume level like I hit F12 on the keyboard.
    When I go to Bluetooth menu battery level is hardly ever shown up. Also, when my keyboard is connected it takes a few seconds to open forementioned bluetooth menu.
    So, it there change I will be able to repair it? It’s not like it costs $5. :c

  • Can the apple wireless keyboard work with Apple TV

    I just set up my ATV and was wondering if it can recognize an apple wireless keyboard. If so, how would I set that up?

    No, this is not currently possible.
    If you have an iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad you could use Apple's Remote app.

  • Purchased music with iphone but not seeing on my macbook

    I purchased a song from iTunes with my iPhone 4 ( Verizon - 4.2.8) but it is not showing up on my MacBookPro. Is it because the iCloud Beta is not active with the Verizon iPhone?!!

    I have  the same issue with a Verizon iPhone 4s. bought a song with it a couple of days ago. Still hasn't shown up on my Macbook Pro running Lion. Automatic downloads is turned on on both devices. I notice that in iTunes on the Mac, under "Stroe" on the left side, my iPad, my wife's iPad and my Apple TV are listed, but the iPhone is not.

  • Airprint works on Iphone but not Ipad2

    Ok so I have done some searching but cant find anything like this. My Iphone is finding the Hp airprint printer and can print but my Ipad2 cant find the printer. It has worked in the past with no issues. Any one have any ideas on how to fix this. I did a reboot of the ipad2 and checked to see if something running in the background might be the issue but only thing open was settings. I closed it and still no printer found. Thanks for any help.

    Try restarting your printer and WiFi router (remove power for 30 seconds).
    Reset your iPad.
    Reset iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off".

  • HP Officejet 6600 - wireless printing works with PC, but not iPad, iPhone or MacBook Pro

    I just purchased a new Officejet 6600.  Plugged it in, set up on the wireless network. Turned on my iPhone and printed with no problem.  I then used the setup disc to setup on my windows desktop.  It works beautifully.  However, now we can't get the printer to print docs from iPad, iPhone, or Mac Book Pro.  The printer shows in the print cue, says it is printing, and nothing. Installed on my Toshiba Laptop. No problem. HELP!! Very frustrating.   Old HP printer worked on the wireless network with all of these devices.  

    Hi helpls,
    I recommend using the following document to get the printer printing from the Windows PC again.
