Can't get Apple bluetooth keyboard to pair with iPad mini.  It pairs okay with my Touch.

Is there a problem with the new operating system on the iPad that keeps the Apple bluetooth keyboard from pairing?

I have the same issue after todays upgrade.
Solved by using third party bluetooth dongle
Definitely a yosemite software issue.

  • Can i use apple bluetooth keyboard with my samsung tv

    Can I use apple bluetooth keyboard with my samsung tv that does not have a built in bluetooth

    To my knowledge, no. A Bluetooth device will connect to something that has appropriate BT hardware.

  • My apple bluetooth keyboard is paired with laptop but will not connect.  mouse is working fine.

    apple bluetooth keyboard is paired but not connecting to laptop.  mouse works fine.

    i am finding it depends greatly on the batteries you put in
    I work for a company that produces batteries...ours work, other brands sometimes do not. if they are manufactured just a hair out of spec, they wont connect consistently...
    they must wobble cuasing flucuations
    same with the mouse...if you use a bit of blue tack, it holds the batteries in, problems solved
    the keyboard is a little different and I cant figure out a macguiver fix

  • Apple Bluetooth keyboard unsuccessful pairing in Windows 8.1 using Bootcamp 5.1

    This is in regards to a MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.4 15" Late 2011. The keyboard is an Apple Bluetooth keyboard.
    When I start windows, then open bluetooth devices, then hold down the power button on the keyboard, then click the "Pair" button, suddenly it tells me that the pairing was unsuccessful. I don't ever get to the part where I enter in the numbers into the keyboard, as I know that is the next step.
    I have tried going into the device manager and enabling the bluetooth collaboration in the broadcom 802.11 device in the network devices but that doesn't solve my issue.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    all the windows in the non-primary monitor moves to the primary monitor
    For me this only happens when I switch accounts.  Does Hibernation work?
    Another weird thing that happens then is how I can restore my IE windows.  I always use IE Fullscreen when I'm working, so usually after the problem occurs I will find an IE window on my Tablet still in Fullscreen mode.  Then, instead of just flipping
    it back with Win-Shift-CursorLeft, what I have found works better is to just press F11.  Doing that inexplicably restores the IE window on the secondary monitor but no longer in Fullscreen mode.  Then pressing F11 again, restores it to Fullscreen
    mode still on the secondary.  If I try to flip it over normally the recovery procedure is less elegant but I guess equivalent.  Fortunately, I usually only have IE windows on that other monitor, so there's not that much inconvenience for me when
    it happens--just the slight irritation of the quirkiness.
    Actually I just realized there could be another workaround.  What happens if you try to use the Win-P function as soon as possible to ensure that the Extend display state is in effect?  I think the reason this happens is that both monitors are
    not being sensed soon enough, so this could be a way of avoiding that problem.  TBD.
    Also, I'll try to remember to try Hibernation myself and see what difference it makes.  TBD.

  • Can I use Apple bluetooth keyboard with my pc

    I have an Apple bluetooth keyboard.  Is it possible to use in with my PC running Windows 7.

    Yes, it works, but if you want to use a function keys, you must download some programs as this. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&sl=cs&tl=en&u=http:/ /uxsoft.cz/Projects/AWK
    I use it all the time and it works fine.

  • If I buy a new iPad now, which version can I get iOS 6 not iOS 7? iPad mini version 1?

    If I buy iPad mini version 1 now, can I get iOS 6 not iOS 7? I really don't like iOS 7. Or can I get iPad mini versin 2 with iOS 6 as a special request for my order? Thanks.

    I agree with Texas Mac Man. Many stores that have stock of non-retina mini might still have ios 6. Apple id only selling non-retina ipad minis in the 16 gb version. I just checked Best Buy and they are selling the 32 and 64 gb versions, so should have ios 6. They're pick up at store only, so they're clearing out old stock. Check with authorized Apple resellers and see if they have any. Act fast, though.

  • Apple Bluetooth keyboard not pairing under Bootcamp/Windows7

    My Apple keyboard that came with MacPro1.1 does not pair when using it with BootCamp and Windows 7. I installed bootcamp and Windows7 today. My machine is running OSX 10.6.8 and Bluetooth software version 2.4.5f3. The Apple mouse pairs under Windows but the keyboard doesn't. I have searched through forums and learned that I need to do the following:
    a- Change Bluetooth drivers under Windows to Apple drivers,
    b- First rename then remove both mouse and keyboard under OSX,
    c- Add both mouse and keyboard under Windows 7.
    d- Add both mouse and keyboard under OSX.
    During step c above, the mouse pairs without ant problem but the keyboard does not. The keyboard is discovered but does not ask for a code to pair as it does under OSX. I do not have Apple keyboardand Mouse firmware upgrade CD (why would Apple not provide it as a download?).
    Any ideas?

  • Apple Bluetooth Keyboard not working with Macbook??

    I copied this from a post on a reply earlier, but thought I'd start a new post and hope that someone has had a similar problem.
    I have the new Apple wireless keyboard that doesn't work on my Macbook. Ironically, the only keys that do work are the top row. Screen brighten or dim, Dashboard, speaker volume control etc...
    I've connected it and paired it successfully, but the keys just don't seem to work. (delete and arrow keys also work) After a while, my mighty mouse (wireless) start acting funny, or the track pad button on the laptop itself stops working. Shutting of the keyboard at this point doesn't help and I need to reboot the computer.
    I've taken it to Fortune Tower in Bangkok where they have a apple support center and he couldn't get it to work on his 17" mac book pro either. He wanted me to leave it, but I took it back to the international departure terminal of the Bangkok international airport, (had to wait for another flight to China to do this) and returned it to the store where I bought it. But they wanted to see the problem and I showed them that it didn't work. Convinced, then then brought out a new one and I wanted to verify that IT worked but same exact problems.
    I suggested that they connect it to another computer? Which they did, an Imac and it worked fine. Then they connected it to a Mac Book Pro, (15 inch) and it worked fine there as well.
    Could this be a firmware update issue?
    Anyone else having problems like this?
    I just hope that this isn't a simple setting somewhere that I've overlooked... but I'll try anything at this point.
    thanks,

    I have exactly the same problem! Macbook Pro 2GHz (so not a very recent one...), OS, firmware, etc updated to the latest. My Mac dealer proposed to do a clean installation of 10.5.2 - did not help. Apple Support told me to uninstall the keyboard and install it again (for more help they want money...) I did - same problem. Only function keys and cursor keys work. Funny thing - during pairing the code can be entered and recognized, but later no character cames through.
    The keyboard is perfectly OK, since it works with my MacPro without any problems.
    The mouse, on other hand, works nicely so far.
    Maybe now will someone give us a wise advice?

  • Were can i get support in germany for an US IPad Mini

    Dear ladies and gentlemen,
    I've bought an IPad Mini in Texas last January. Now I've some challenges with teh battery. The Apple care hotline and any German Apple Stores are not able to solve the problem due to incompatible hardware to German products and both are not able to give me an exchange IPad.
    Apple promise worldwide garanty, however they are not able to fullfill this inside Europe or inside Americas.
    The only messige I've got from the Apple Care hotline was to fly into US and try to change the product there.(Payed by my own) However they can't give me the right information, were I can change my IPad. They are not familiar with the support structures in US. Here in Germany, we mainly change the products in the Apple stores or by our provider.
    Can you give me a hint, how I have to act?
    So many thanks
    Yannick

    Have you gone through here

    Talk to apple and see what they recommend you - beyond flying to another country. maybe there is an authorized repair place that can help you.

  • Apple Bluetooth Keyboard Not Pairing

    Hello,
    My sister in law's bluetooth apple keyboard is not working. Last night it kept loosing its signal. This morning it stopped working. She has reset it and put new batteries in. It sees the keyboard and the mouse is working, but it gives the following error.
    "the pairing attempt was unsuccessful. make sure your keyboard is in range of the computer turned on and discoverable. when ready click continue to try again"
    I am in a different state so I can see exactly whats going on. She's had this computer for a couple of years and unfortunately doesn't have apple care. I assume that she has the firmware update, but we cannot get it installed to make sure she has it because its requiring a password and doesn't have another keyboard.
    Can you help?

  • How can I get Apple to make Zinio compatible with iOS 7 so I can access reading from my library?

    I have an account with a public library that contracts with Zinio so I can read magazine subscriptions for free.  However, iOS 7 is not compatible and will not let me open up the reading material.  Earlier versions of the OS worked o.k.  I am trying to find a way to contact Apple to resolve this issue but don't want to pay for online support.  Does anyone have an answer?

    I've contacted Zinio, and also the e-library I use.  Will wait to see if they respond.  Thanks.

  • I can't get face time to connect on my iPad mini anymore please help

    When I try to face time anyone it says connecting then stops and says they are unavailable for face time.  I've also tried to answer calls and the same thing happens it says connecting then unavailable. I just got this iPad for Christmas so it shouldn't be acting up like this already. Please help?

    facetime hasn't worked consistently since April 17th.  Rumor going around that it's a way to force people to upgrade to iOS7, who previously wanted to stay with iOS6.
    I have two iOS 6 ipads, and neither will work anymore.
    very disappointed with Apple if this is indeed the case

  • Function keys are not working on a paired apple bluetooth keyboard

    hello, I just got this apple bluetooth keyboard and paired it to my ipad2. The letter and number keys are working perfectly fine, but my ipad will not respond to F1 to F12 keys,I tried Fn+F1-F12 they are not working. Then I tried to restart both my ipad and keyboard but the problem is still there. Additionally, Command+arrows can't function either. command+space is working though. Could some one please help? thanks a lot!

    It might have been functionality that Apple has removed in the current version of iOS.  This old web article says the function keys worked in iOS3, but that's a couple of years ago:

  • Keyboard Update Broke Apple Bluetooth Keyboard

    Nice going, Apple. Your handy little update now prevents my (formerly) flawlessly working Apple Bluetooth keyboard from pairing. Bravo! Maybe you can teach Microsoft some lessons...

    Have you tried deleting the pairing and then using the Bluetooth Setup Assistant to re-pair with your iMac?

  • "F" Keys on iPad and Apple Bluetooth Keyboard

    Anybody know how to get the "F" Keys on my Apple bluetooth keyboard to work with my iPad? I need to use F1, F2, etc. Please Help.

    You might notice that keyboards sold exclusively for use with the iPad do not include function keys. That is because the iPad does not currently offer any system-wide method for assigning actions to those keys. I suppose that individual apps might be able to look for function key presses and have actions assigned to them, but since most apps are designed to work with the iPad's built-in input tools, I doubt that many – or any – apps implement this.
