Connect wireless keyboard to ipad

hi can someone tell me if a am able to connect my wireless mouse and keyboard (the one that came with my mac) to my ipad2 via wifi/bluetooth?

If you want to continue using the keyboard with your Mac (not at the same time, of course), then follow these steps:
- Turn OFF Bluetooth on your Mac
- Turn Bluetooth ON on the iPad
- pair the keyboard with the iPad, enjoy using the keyboard to enter text on the iPad
To go back to using the keyboard with your Mac, turn Bluetooth off on the iPad, then back on on the Mac. Your Mac should see the keyboard and pair with it. To use the keyboard with the iPad again, repeat the above steps. The iPad should automatically see the keyboard next time.
Basically, turn off Bluetooth on the device that is currently using the keyboard before turning on Bluetooth on the next device.

    How do you connect wireless keyboard to ipad?

    Go to Settings -> General -> Bluetooth. Turn on the iPad Bluetooth service and then the keyboard. They should find each other.
    BTW it's tricky to disconnect them. If you don't turn off the keyboard while it's paired, the iPad virtual keyboard won't work properly. Check the manual.
    The green light on the keyboard doesn't stay on all the time the keyboard is on, just for a few seconds after each change of state.
    The bluetooth keyboard - iPad combination is a very effective writing tool. The keyboard is very responsive.

  • Connecting an Apple wireless keyboard to iPad mini

    I have an Apple wireless keyboard which I use with my MacMini and have tried to get it to work on my new iPad Mini (it is love at first sight, that is me and the iPad mini) but with no sucess.  This maybe down to me but perhaps the keyboard can only work with one machine.  Any thoughts out there?

    If its paired and in range of the iMac it will auto connect to it. You may need to unpair it form the Mac mini before pairing with the iPad, or make sure the Mac Mini is off or out of range when you initate the pairing with the iPad.

    Do you have to have a Mac to setup the wireless keyboard. Can I use it directly with my iPad without a Mac.

  • 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.

  • HT4111 Wireless keyboard on Ipad

    I've consistently been unable to continuously have my wireless keyboard work with my IPad AFTER touching the IPad screen.
    I'll be typing away on the still connected keyboard and whenever I touch the Ipad screen and want to  go back to using the keyboard... NOTHING registers when I press any key.
    what's happening?

    What kind of keyboard do you have?
    Has it been paired in Settings<Bluetooth?
    Have you tried using fresh batteries? (or have it at 100% charge)

  • Trying to use function keys (like windows) on apple wireless keyboard for ipad, as well as arrow keys.

    I am connecting to my work PC through my ipad. My main program i use for work is a DAS based (ancient, i know.) Anyways, i have to be able to use function keys, i can touch the screen so if i can not it isn't the end of the world. But it would make things MUCH more easier. Is there a way to program the F1-F12 keys on the wireless keyboard to use like windows, rather than the brightness/volume/play buttons.
    Also, my arrow keys don't seem to work right. If i am using notepad, they don't work, unless i have entered down 6 lines, the arrows will work as far as those 6 lines, but won't go down on there own. If i am on the internet and there is a drop down menu, the arrow keys don't work either. As well as in my work program, they don't work at all, it's as if the arrow keys don't register.
    Help?!

    Just added information. In my work program, i can use the onscreen keyboard (but it takes up half the screen so i can not see what i am doing. From that keyboard, and can toggle back and forth from the regular keyboard, the FN screen for function keys, and the CTRL keyboard. This is why i am confused as to why the function keys and arrows will not work on the wireless, yet they have the keyboard on the screen.

  • Connect wifi keyboard to iPad mini

    Can anyone tell me how to connect a new wifi keyboard to an iPad mini

    Hey Jimy1955,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Looks like you want to pair with a wireless keyboard.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4111
    Pair iPad with a Bluetooth accessory
    Follow the instructions that came with the Bluetooth accessory to make it discoverable or to set it to search for other Bluetooth accessories. This may involve entering a passkey or PIN (Personal Identification Number).
    From the Home screen, choose Settings > Bluetooth2 and turn Bluetooth on. iPad searches for nearby Bluetooth accessories.
    Choose the Bluetooth accessory, and then enter a passkey or PIN if prompted.
    Bluetooth headset: Refer to the documentation for the headset to determine the passkey.
    Bluetooth keyboard: Type the passcode displayed on the iPad on the keyboard and then return.
    When pairing is complete, you can use the Bluetooth accessory with your iPad.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • Can I use my wireless keyboard with iPad?

    I have an original old iPad. I also have a Mac Wireless keyboard.
    Can I link to my my iPad? and how?

    You can certainly try
    1)  on iPad:  pull up Settings > General > Bluetooth
    2)  slide from Off to On  (or On to Off, wait, then Off to On again)
    3)  on keyboard:  hold down the power button on the side until the little green light flashes
    4)  release
    5)  on iPad:  "Apple Wireless Keyboard" should pop up under "Devices"
    6)  if yes, tap "Not Connected" so it searches for a return signal from the keyboard
         if no, try resetting/restarting your iPad (holding down the Home button and the Sleep button at the same time) and repeating instructions
    7)  on keyboard:  send the iPad a return signal by pressing the Shift key

  • How to connect wireless keyboard

    How to connect my wireless keyboard to IPad3?

    Well, hopefully its a bluetooth keyboard. If thats the case, turn on bluetooth on your ipad (in general>setting>bluetooth) and then turn on your keyboard. The ipad should discover it and then you will be asked to pair it--so hit the dialogue in the ipad and you should be good.
    Hopefully this helps.

  • Using Apple Wireless Keyboard on iPad 2

    Hi Guys
    I bought a new Apple Wireless Keyboard at the AppleStore in Zürich yesterday.
    I would like to use this keyboard for my iPad 2, but I have one problem:
    I connect it with the iPad, all works perfectly. But I can`t use the other volume...iPod-features and so on. I can only
    use for writing.
    Is there anybody, who could help me? :P
    Thank you very much!
    Regards

    Unfortunately there is no way to do exactly what you want.  Apple does not let users add custom keyboard layouts to iOS devices yet, and the list of hardware layouts for English is restricted to  us, dvorak, colemak, us international-pc, us extended, british, french, german, spanish-iso, italian, dutch, belgian.  Only German is qwertz.
    You could also try switching to Swiss French or Swiss German, as the hardware layouts for both of these is qwertz I think.  But then spell check will not be in English.

  • Scrambled symbol keys, wireless keyboard-to-iPad

    Have a new Apple wireless keyboard, connected OK to iPadI, but symbol keys are scrambled,  e.g., 'question mark' key yields a 'dash', etc.; not all, but quite a few.  Would be grateful for any suggestions.

    You probably have the wrong keyboard selected in Settings > General > Keyboards.  Make sure only English is checked and then tap it to make sure that under Hardware you have US checked.

  • I Can No Longer Connect Wirelessly With My iPad!

    About 2 days ago my iPad suddenly stopped connecting wirelessly to my BT HomeHub.
    I have deleted all of the networks available to me and reinstated them, I have carried out a full Restore of my iPad and I have switched all of my equipment off and back on again.  But to no avail.
    Although my HomeHub is ticked on the list of Wi-Fi networks on my iPad every time I try to connect to the internet to browse, get mail or listen to the radio I receive a message stating "Connection failed.  The internet connection appears to be offline".  On occasions I get a BT Wholesale error message!  This happens whether I try to connect via my HomeHub or BTFon or BT Openzone etc.
    This is VERY inconvenient as it makes my iPad just an expensive photoframe!
    Incidentally, my BT HomeHub no longer recognises my password.  This has made me forget which is the correct password for accessing my HomeHub.  Is it the Wireless Key (WPA)?  Or the Admin. Password?  I've tried both of those and neither work.
    Why oh why do electronics have to go wrong when I need them most!
    Julian Brown

    Hello,
    All the information you need is printed on the back of the Hub. There are two passwords, one for the Wireless setting (WPA password) and one for access to the hub (Admin password).
    (Taken from http://www.jarviser.co.uk/jarviser/images3/newhubpswd.jpg  ).
    If you have forgotten what you changed the admin password to, then I'm afraid you're lost and you should factory reset your Hub:
