Hi, how to turn on bluetooth on my new i-Pad2?

I'm trying to pair my Apple wireless keyboard. Turning the bluetooth option will show the bluetooth symbol gray out at the top of the i-Pad and can not connect any devices. Please help.

it is best to do the initial pairing from the BT area in settings.  (on general screen). when you select BT, it will begin to search for available devices.  The device also has to be on, and in discoverable mode.  When the two find each other, the device will be listed on that screen, and the two will try to pair.  In a lot of cases - you will get a message to enter a code on the device or your ipad keyboard to finish the pairing.  Once they are paired, you should not need to do that step again, although sometimes you may need to 'search' for the device.
Note Meg's answer above - if you have the older white keyboard, you are out of luck.
Lastly - not related to your question - if you are using a BT keyboard, and at some point bump a key (like if you are carrying it around) - it may start up the ipod function, and you will get music coming out of your briefcase.  IOf you are done using your BT keyboard - remember to turn it off!

  • Satellite U500-1F5 - How to turn on Bluetooth?

    I just bought Satellite U500-1F5 and I want to know how to turn on the bluetooth?
    thanx in advance

    Hi
    Install BT stack.
    Then enable the BT using FN + F8
    Now you should see the BT icon in the taskbar.
    Right click the BT icon in the tray bar and select Add New Connection.
    It is also possible to launch Bluetooth Settings and then click the 'New Connection button'.
    Then you can choose Express Mode.
    Note; BT should be enabled on the external device (which you want to pair) too.
    Then you have to choose this device (should be visible in BT window of the BT stack)
    Then pair both devices using an passkey (i.e 1111)
    Thats all

  • [iOS 8] How to turn off vibrate notifications on new calendar invitations?

    I don't want any notification when I receive a new calendar invitation via Exchange.  I had no problems disabling this in iOS 7 and earlier, but with iOS 8 I can't seem to turn off the vibrate notification.  In Settings...Notifications...Calendar...Invitations, I've turned off everything there.  Notification Sound is set to None, and Vibration is also set to None. 
    Yet whenever I receive a new calendar invitation, my phone does a short vibrate.  No alert shows up on the screen, just a short vibrate.
    How do I silence this thing?
    Using iOS 8, iPhone 5S 64GB.

    Here is what finally worked for me in ios8 (8.1.2)
    Settings > Notifications > Calendar > Invitations > Notification Sound > Set *both the alert tone and vibration* to None (they are separate settings.)  The view from the Invitations form is a little misleading - the Notification sound will say "None" even if there is a vibration setting other than None.
    Not sure when this changed but it was making me a LITTLE CRAZY.

  • How to completely turn off Bluetooth and Wireless

    Hey everybody,
    I'm running Windows XP SP3 via Boot Camp and I was wondering if anyone can assist me in how to completely turn off Bluetooth and Wireless connectivity so that I can reserve as much batter life while being in class taking notes without a plug-in source, but not uninstall. I know there is a Bluetooth control panel and I disabled it there but under "connect to" its still remains there. Basically I want to have the Bluetooth and Wireless turned off completely when I startup and still have the icons shown in the taskbar to let me know that they are still there.
    Thanks!

    Joergen Thomson, I can see that you have the same thoughts like I do, I wish they could release a software that is stable and better then this.
    I dont have the energi or time to report all flaus back to cisco, this product have taking to much of my time and frustration already. Thank you so much for all the time you spend to try get this product stable and hopefully a good product.
    I have a costumer that have a webservice that is IP restricted, For now I have to define more then 93 policys openening for the same service because this doesnt handle address list and groups. And all the times I had to set it back to factory default becasue of HTTP Admin server stopped, VPN Problem, Firmware Upgrades, "Packet Loss" and so on takes alot of time becasue I need to reconfig policies back.
    For now to they release a firmware is stable I have take this piece off the network and put the back a old Fortinet 60 box.

    How do I use Bluetooth , when I turn it on it won't pick up any other devices

    You can only Airdrop through iOS devices, you cannot bluetooth transfer using iOS devices, what are you really trying to do.?
    Using Airdrop is very simple for that you need your blueetooth on and you have to be connected to the same wifi as the other person whom you are trying to connect your device to.

    I've been googling for a while now, and still haven't found anything relevant to me.
