How do I get my iPad2 to discover my wireless keyboard?

I can't get my iPad2 to recognize my wireless keyboard.

After much frustration, I just successfully connected my BT keyboard to my Ipad2 by turning off my nearby Imac.  It wasn't enough to just unpair my keyboard with the Imac.  I also changed my batteries which may have helped.  The problem I was having is that I wasn't getting the blinking light on the keyboard which indicates it is discoverable and ready to be paired.  As soon as i turned off my computer my keyboard was discoverable.

  • How do I get to the startup manager with wireless keyboard?

    When starting up, if you hold down the Option key you are supposed to get to the Startup manager, where you can select which disk to start up from, etc.  But this doesn't seem to work when using the Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboard.  If ever I get into trouble and need to start up from a repair disk or my system disks, I won't be able to.  How can I get this to work?
    Thanks.

    Paul, you may need a USB KB for emergencies.

  • How can I get a replacement key for my wireless keyboard?

    I have a first generation Apple Wireless Keyboard with a key that has come loose. When I enter the serial number (beginning 3374900K***) into the selfcare database, it is not recognised, which prevents me from proceeding further and finding out if I can get a replacement key.
    Should I bring the keyboard into a store, or is there any other way (online) I can get this resolved?
    Thanks.

    Hello w:
    I think an Apple store would be the best approach.

  • How do I get my iPad2 to connect to TV using AirPlay?

    How do I get my iPad2 to connect to TV using AirPlay?

    Thanks for your helpful response. I do have an Apple TV device that is hooked up to my TV & router and is working OK. I can link to iTunes on my main computer and stream photos etc OK. The Apple TV device also links to internet OK.
    What I can't get to Apple TV device to do is link to my IPad2. I followed the instructions on using & setting up  Airplay, and found the Airplay symbol OK,. When I tap it it shows my iPad & Apple TV. When I tap on the TV symbol it doesn't show the dialogue box indicated. I can't seem to get the iPad to stream from Photos, and the iPad doesn't show up on the TV under Computers.
    Clearly I am doing something wrong, but what?
    Any ideas?

  • How do I get the IPad2 to find printer?

    How do I get the IPad2 to find printer? I've set the printer up with the Bonjour service.

    On Windows:
    The iPad uses Apple's printing protocol AirPrint. This is not a feature of Bonjour Print Services since it only lets it find printers shared by Macs and share it's own. There is however a quick and easy third party Windows application which can advertise a Windows printer using the AirPrint protocol.
    http://jaxov.com/2010/11/download-airprint-installer-for-windows-7-xp-vista/
    It does require the windows computer to be on and the since the printer won't be advertised if it isn't. If you have problems just google "AirPrint Windows" and you'll find that page and another tutorial.
    On Mac:
    Again there is another third party app you can use:
    http://fairerplatform.com/2011/04/airprint-activator-mac-os-lion-compatible/
    I've tried them both and they work a treat for me.
    Hope that's helped! I finally signed up because I actually knew the answer to this question! Yay!

  • I have just downloaded an alternative keyboard (Fast Keyboard)How do I get my Ipad2 to use it instead of the default keyboard, please?

    I have just downloaded an alternative keyboard (Fast Keyboard).
    How do I get my Ipad2 to use it instead of the default keyboard, please?
    Thanks for your help

    First, please don't shout.
    Second, don't post personal information.
    Third, restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • How can I get my ipad2 with os5 to Kodak wireless printer esp9.

    How can I get my ipad2 with os5 to Kodak wireless printer esp9.

    Airprint won't work with the Kodak printers because Kodak does not support Airprint.  You'll need to check in the App store to see if Kodak makes a printing app for the iPad.  Otherwise, there are a number of third party printing apps.  People have used Printopia, Print n Share, and Print Central with good results.

  • How do I get my ipad to find the wireless HP printer that is supposed to be compatible w/ Air Print

    How do I get my ipad to find the wireless HP printer that is supposed to be compatible w/ Air Print?

    Mary-
    First be sure your printer is on Apple's list of AirPrint compatible printers at <iOS: AirPrint 101>.
    Assuming it is on that list, check to see if there is a firmware update for it.  You should be able check it from the printer's control panel in one of the setup or preferences menus.
    If the printer is still not found in the iPad's print routine, your WiFi router may not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint.  You would need to contact the router's manufacturer to see if there is a change you can make to its setup, or if there is a firmware update that will solve the problem.

  • How do I get the fn key on the aluminum keyboard to work like Insert under Windows?

    How do I get the fn key on the aluminum keyboard to work like Insert under Windows without having to press fn + Enter?
    This article explains the problem but has no real solution:
    Boot Camp: About keyboards and key assignment for Microsoft Windows - Apple Support

    I'm not sure if you even read the first couple of posts at all. On the old Apple Pro Keyboard (white keys and translucent body), pressing the Help key resulted in exactly the same key code as the Insert key on any standard (IBM) PC keyboard. This meant that regarding this key, that Mac keyboard will work just like a PC keyboard. (I don't care much about the other keys.)
    The problem is that on the current Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad (white low-profile chicklet keys, ultra-slim aluminum body), the Help key is now called fn and produces a different key code than the old Help key, so that you have to press fn + Enter (on the numerical keypad) to get Insert.
    This page explains the problem:
    Boot Camp: About keyboards and key assignment for Microsoft Windows - Apple Support
    Do you understand what I mean? It's not a software thing, it's a hardware issue in the Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, because fn is a hard-coded, not software-controlled modifier key. I have no idea if there is even a way to get around that, and that is what I am trying to find out.

  • How do i get the camera to be beside the keyboard in messages

    how do i get the camera to be beside the keyboard in messages, when you look at all the demonstrations online it shows the camera icon being there so you can add a photo to the message, but on my iphone 4 i don't have that icon.

    That means  you don't have MMS messaging enabled by your carrier. Either it isn't included in your account, it isn't provided by your carrier, or you're using an unofficial iPhone carrier that isn't fully compatible.

  • How can I get my ipad2 calendar to show up on my wife's iphone4 calendar with both have ios5.0.1, and had separate email accounts?

    I recently got an IPAD2 with my own email address, and my own apple id.  My wife got an Iphone4 (not 4s) for Christmas, which also has IOS 5.0.1, and she has her own email address and her own apple id.  How can we sync calendars?

    This is helpful, but how do you get both devices to communicate to this single calendar via the iCloud?...
    You did not mention that it must be through iCloud.  But then, it can't really do so if you want to maintain separate Apple IDs.
    So you just set up an additional calendar on your devices.
    iPads, iPhone, Macs can show multiple calendars simultaneously.  I have my work calendar and several personal calendars all showing simultaneously on my iPad, Mac Mini and Macbook Pro.   In the case of my client, they didn't need multiple calendars.  They just were going to use the one shared calendar.  But I did setup the shared Google calendar and separate personal caldendars on their iPhones.  (e.g.: Husband's iPhone = husband's personal Mac Cal + shared Google Calendar.  Wife's iPhone = wife's personal Outlook for Windows Cal + shared Google Calendar.)

  • How do I get my iPad2 to use an external GPS receiver

    I have a Marine Navionics Chart app on my iPad. I have bought an external Blue Tooth GPS receiver. The iPad has recognised the device. I wish to use this to improve the accuracy of my location when at sea. When I have "Location Services" off my iPad does not seem to want to use the external receiver (a GNS 1000 device).
    How can I get it to use this device?

    Make sure to select your recever in Audio Out options, under Sound in System Preferences. If you cannot see your receiver listed, than it is most likely ana adapter issue.
