Can not locate wireless keyboard for my iPad

My wireless keyboard for my ipad is no longer displayed on the screen that the Bluetooth app is.
I have tried everything.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Do you mean that when you go into Settings > Bluetooth > your wireless keyboard is not listed under devices?
If so:
make sure your keyboard is charged.
turn your keyboard off, reset your iPad, turn the keyboard back on, see if it shows up, put it in discovery mode see if it shows up
to reset your iPad:
Hold both the Home button and the Power button down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
Let go promptly when it appears.
Wait 30 seconds or so for your iPad to restart.
No information or settings will be lost.

No. The iPad's port won't put out enough power. You could probably plug your keyboard into your iPad charger and charge it that way, but it won't charge off the iPad.

I purchased a wireless keyboard for my iPad a week ago and now the keypad doesn't pop up when I want to type anything.

Have you tried to go into bluetooth and telling it to forget your keyboard?
Drastic but might enable you to repair the devices and see if it clears up the glitch.
I had a period of time when my iPad always sensed and used my bluetooth keyboard. I think it finally went away after I powered down the iPad. (not just a put to sleep, a bonafide 'slide the red slider to shut it down' powering down.

I have bought the wireless keyboard for my iPad. I was working for a day but now the power light won't stay on and as such won't connect to the iPad. I have changed the batteries but still no difference.

Not knowing which wireless keyboard you bought, it is difficult to be specific. but ...
it is quite normal for the keyboard's power light not to stay on - it is a way of conserving battery power.
Try this:
turn you keyboard off
on your iPad go to Settings > Bluetooth
if your keyboard is listed under Devices, then touch the little blue i to its right and choose Forget this Device
now reset your iPad: hold both the Home and Power buttons down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears, let go promptly when the Apple logo appears and wait another 30 seconds for your iPad to turn itself on
After your iPad is back on again go back to Settings > Bluetooth
now turn your keyboard back on and see if it appeard under Now Discoverable
if it doesn't read your keyboard guide to figure out how to put it into Discovery mode
touch the listing for your keyboard under Now Discoverable, it should now appear under Devices
touch the listing for you keyboard under Devices, and choose to pair with it.

I just got a wireless keyboard for my iPad 4 and can't get the onscreen keyboard to stop showing as I type with the keyboard.

I have a just bought a bluetooth keyboard for my iPad 4 and it works fine. It connects with bluetooth and when I type the characters appear fine but the on screen keyboard will not go away. How do I get it to disappear while I am using my bluetooth keyboard.

Yes that was my next step but I removed the Swift key app I had installed with slightly different functionality than the Apple default screen keyboard. I figured I really didn't need that functionality since the Bluetooth keyboard offered far more flexibility. Sure enough the well designed default Apple keyboard seems to know it is not needed when an external keyboard is in use. Apple software just works better as always.

Will wireless keyboard for 1 iPad interfere with another iPad?

I have an iPad 2 (WiFi) on order. I will probably get a second one for my wife.
I have 2 questions about the wireless keyboard:
1) If I get a wireless keyboard, can I use it for either iPad?
2) If my wife and I are both using apps at the same time on our separate iPads that require text input and my wife is using the keyboard for hers, will it interfere with the text input on my iPad?

You can have multiple iPads in the same room, each with their own assigned/paired keyboard. I suppose at some level they might interfere with each other (like tens of thousands of cell phones at a BIG sports event), but I have seen labs with dozens of keyboards and iPads with no problem!

I can not update the software for my iPad 2 because it comes back with the note that I am not connected

What can I do , I tried to turn the iPad of and hold both. Button at the Same time but it still does not work

You don't need to create another post. Just keep responding to the first discussion that you started. I'm sorry that the restart and reboot didn't work, but it gets a little confusing when you create a new discussion every time you want to respond.

Wireless keyboard operation on ipad - how to handle touch functions like email garbage can?

Received gift of wireless keyboard for my ipad. Managed bluetooth pairing and am stumped on functions other than simple typing. Can any keys be used for functions like the garbage can in email?

As far as I know it just replaces the onscreen keyboard, the iPad is a touch device and you will need to touch the screen for some things. The function keys for display brightness control, iPod and volume control also work.

TS3694 I can not download iOS 6 to my iPad 3, getting an error 6 message. What do I do?

I can not download iOS 6 for my iPad 3, getting an error 6 message. What do I do?

Here are a couple of things that you can try.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again.

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key and due to an injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She is using a text to speech app to verbaliz

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.

You cannot.

Same Wireless keyboard for iPad and iMac

Can I easily and quickly use a wireless keyboard on a Ipad & a Imac? I can pair them but can't
connect them. KST

You can pair the keyboard to multiple devices. For example, my keyboard is paired to my Mac, iPad and iPhone.
You can only use the keyboard with one device at a time. This means you have to "disconnect" not "un-pair" the keyboard from a device before "connecting" it to another device.

HT2452 just got a replacement wireless keyboard for imac but comp doesn't recognize it and won't connect. can't type or use it. any suggestions?

Just got a relpacement wireless keyboard for my imac but the computer won't recognize it and b/c i can't use the keyboard (type) there's little troubleshooting i can do. how do i reconnect this? thanks!

You may need a wired keyboard to carry out some of these steps. It's a good idea to keep a cheap wired keyboard and mouse or trackball as backups for a desktop Mac anyway, because Bluetooth isn't completely reliable.
Step 1
Follow the instructions in these support articles:
How to set up your Apple Wireless Keyboard
Apple Wireless Keyboard: Difficulty during pairing process
Step 2
The keyboard should pair automatically when you reboot. You may have to press and hold the power button on the right side of an Apple keyboard until the LED starts flashing.
Step 3
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Reboot.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
See these support articles:
Bluetooth keyboard may not pair during Setup Assistant
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference
Bluetooth: Unreliable wireless performance may occur when USB 3.0 external devices are close
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

TA25981 I have set up my base station, no problem, but I can not locate my set up assistant to complete the process to work with our iPads. It is Mac OS X 10.7.2. Anyone help?

I have set up my ariport extreme base station, no problem, but I can not locate my airport assistant to continue to work wirelessly with our ipads. When you click on the airport base station, it only shows the info about the base station. The assistant will not come up. Can anyone help? It is a Mac OS X 10.7.2.

Not sure what you mean by "assistant".
Assuming that you have set up the AirPort Extreme to broadcast a wireless network, you need to connect to that wireless network from each iPad or other wireless device.....just like you would connect to a network at the coffee place or bookstore.
On an iPad....
Tap Settings on the home screen
Tap Wi-Fi on the left panel
Tap on the name of your new network when it appears
