Connecting apple qireless keyboard to iPad

I am trying to connect my apple wireless keyboard to use on my iPad - via bluetooth -
please can someone help with a step by step ?

Sorry for the rather terse responses you have gotten so far.
You will first need to make sure you have the proper Apple Wireless Keyboard. Any of the Apple Wireless Keyboards that are super thin and make from Aluminum should work.
A: On the iPad, go into Settings
B: Tap on General, then Bluetooth
C: Make sure the toggle for Bluetooth is in the ON position on this screen. At this point the iPad is in constant search mode.
D: Pick up you Apple Wireless Keyboard and press and hold the power button on the right hand side of the keyboard until the little indicator light begins to blink in short two pulse bursts.
E: The device name for the keyboard will now show on the iPad. Tap on it to begin the pairing process.
F: A notification box will come up on the iPad with instructions on how to complete the pairing process. On the Apple Wireless Keyboard, enter the code number the iPad has displayed and press the enter key on the Apple Wireless Keyboard.
G: If you are successful, the pairing will be complete and the keyboard will show as connected on the iPad. Start enjoying the typing goodness.
I hope this helps.. I did not have time to get screen shots of the process, sorry.

Everywhere that I've checked it is not possible to do this. I would like to even do this using the vkb. I hate having to stretch my thumb all the way up just to send a message. It's messaging, not a report or email. Seems backwards. Hopefully some day Apple can add this option.

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.

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.

How to connect Apple TV with an iPad ?

How to connect Apple TV with iPad ?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

Logitech mouse started to lag after connecting Apple Wireless Keyboard

Hi,
I'm using Logitech Anywhere MX mouse with Logitech unifiying reciever on my iMac and everything was working perfectly fine until I have
recently bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard. For some reason after connecting the keyboard to my iMac my mouse started to lag.
I'm not sure how this is connected to each other as keyboard is bluetooth and mouse is wifi but at this stage I wish that my cable keyboard
would never broke.
My whole Mac OS X software is up to date and so are the Logitech drivers (Control Center). Is any of the users expriencing such issues ?
Any advices ?
Regards,
Jakub

Thank you for your reply, I have repaired the device but it didn't helped, but switching USB ports seems to do the work, although not sure why Anyways - thank you very much!

Win 7(pc) can`t connect apple wirless keyboard

hi
the pc recognizes the wireless keyboard, but as seen in some tutorials, the keyboard should change to apple wireless keyboard but it doesn`t
when i`m trying to connect it, the message says that the device was unable to connect because it took to much time to connect
any helpful tips?
thanks

Thanks for your advice.
However, I'm not sure where to enter the WEP key on a win2K PC. It doesn't ask for the key during the installation. In "Infrastructure mode", only SSID is required. In "Ad hoc mode", SSID and channel ID are required. But neither asks for the key.
When installed in "infrastructure mode", it shows as "cable not connected". But if installed in "Ad hoc mode", the network connection is enabled and it tries to get an ip address, however, it fails to get a valid IP address from the wireless router (192.168 range) and returns with a 169.254 address.
Seems that I missed a step somewhere to put the WEP key?
many thanks.

How long does an apple wireless keyboard for iPad battery last?

does anyone know how long does an apple keyboard for iPad battery last? Thanks

No. Once sn iOS version comes out that is not compatible with your hardware, you cannot, obviously, update iOS any longer. However, your iPad running the last release of iOS compatible with it will continue to run that iOS release at the same speed it always did.
Nothing about any computer ever slows down with age - your cpu, RAM and storage all function at the same speed as they always did. New software may add features that tax your system more than a newer system would be taxed, but nothing about your system changes just because the device ages.
At some point, our system simply is unable to update or run newer software because that newer or updated software requires hardware features that yours simply does not have. But your exisiting software on your existing hardware will continue to run just as it always has.
As to when your system becomse unable to handle new software or iOS features, that is purely a matter of how quickly newer hardware comes out and how quickly software developers move to new features that your system cannot handle.
There is no inherent reason to believe that an iPad 4 will not be compatible with the next release of iOS - it might not be, but it may very well be. Depends entirely on what changes the next release (whenever that may be) introduces, and what new device hardware Apple may be working on.

How to connect apple tv to my iPad

Can some one help me to connect my iPad to my apple TV?

What do you mean by connect?
You either use airplay in conjunction with compatible apps or you can mirror using an iPad 2 (or later) to display content from the device to the ATV
Is that what you are having trouble with?
More information on your issue and what you are encountering would be helpful.

HT4101 How to connect a mechanical keyboard to iPad

I am thinking of purchasing a Rosewill mechanical keyboard for my iPad. Does anyone know if it's possible to connect the two and, if so, how do I go about doing this? Thanks!

ANd he may have been able to. There's a lot of pages out there with things you used to be able to hook up via the USB part of the camera connection kit. But that OS tweak last year altered the amount of battery power allotted to the 30 pin port - which the USB plugs into - and rendered many of those devices now unworkable.
You can try it of course, and some have reported success if they plug those devices first into a powered USB hub then into the iPad (use the powered hub to overcome the lack of output power from the iPad).
The old reports of things that no longer work are very frustrating.

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 a MIDI Keyboard to iPad

Hi-
As a musician I’d like to be able to play the sounds on my iPad from an external MIDI keyboard - is this possible? I have a MOTU Midi interface already.
I also assume I can send the output from the headphone socket to an external amp for listening?
Thanks in advance!

The iPad and MIDI hardware working together, here's how.
