HT4111 Bluetooth connection Logitech keyboard
My iPad's software was updated automatically. Now I turn the Bluetooth on and it doesn't find any device to pair with.
I need it to identify my Logitech keyboard, which shows a blue or green light.
I turned the iPad on and off, but nothing changed.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
hi all
by a stroke of luck i worked it out - turns out you have to switch the keyboard off, then when switching it on you have to keep your finger on the power button - the green light will flash until the connection is made.
works now, onlly wasted an hour two trying to get to this point. nevermind

Oops, sorry, using my iPad for this. My iMac's Bluetooth-connected devices are going haywire after awhile of use. All three things--the trackpad, keyboard, and mouse--act up, especially the trackpad, by being overly sensitive and often just clicking and moving on its own. I've restarted the computer, I've swabbed batteries out of the devices, and nothing has worked so far in solving this issue. I downloaded Lion when it came out and had the update last week (I think), but today is the first day to experience this issue and nothing was downloaded today. I've been sending out a flurry of emails, but nothing else to hint at why this problem happened. Any ideas??
Humm, thank you. I have my iPhone and iPad on the wireless network, and yeah--using the rechargable batteries. I'll try normal batteries and re-join the phone and get back to you. May take a day or so because the semester starts today. Thank you again.

My iMac lost Bluetooth connections for keyboard an d keypad how can I reset it?
First the keypad list it's Bluetooth connection then when I used the Bluetooth assistant it lost the keyboard . How can I re establish connections? Batteries are good.
If you connect the iPod to the computer (with the iTunes library) that was previously used to sync the iPod, it should unlock. If that's not possible, you should be able to connect the iPod to the current computer, and use the current iTunes library to Restore the iPod. The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the iPod and give it a fresh start.

Problems connecting Logitech keyboard and iPad2
I have problems connecting a logitech keyboard to my iPad2. I've succeed in pairing the same keyboard both with an iPad1 and my MacBook Pro, so the keyboard is OK.
I am having the same problem as well. I would like to use my new iPad AIR as my primary computer for meetings and travel. I use teamviewer to remote in to my office work station and my logitech keyboard does not work at all. Have you found any resolution to this problem?
Thanks. -
Bluetooth connection on keyboard not working iMac/macbook
Hi
I've just bought an iMac and have it connected to my macbook air using a thunderbolt connection. Once connected I use cmd f2 to change the iMac screen to the screen on my macbook air. Using the bluetooth settings on the MBA i can connect the wireless mouse (previously connected to the imac) and tried the same for the keyboard. Although I managed to get it to pair yesterday I can't seem to get it to do it again today (guess yesterday was a fluke).
It will connect when the Imac is off or when the keyboard is disconnected on the imac - problem being that I need the keyboard to change the screen over to the MBA.
Any thoughts / something I'm missing?
ps I've got OSX 10.8.3 on imac and 10.7.5 on MAB if it matters - didn't yesterday

Losing bluetooth connection with keyboard and track pad
Every few minutes, I lose the connection between my wireless keyboard and track pad and the computer. Since its happening simultaneously, I don't think its an issue with either the trackpad or keyboard but bluetooth. I've tried turning my computer off and unplugging it and no dice. Its a real productivity kill right now. HELP!!!
Hey all - thanks. I've tried swapping batteries and my battery power is 100%. I've turned the computer off completely and back on. I've even unplugged it and turned off the keyboard and track pad.
My computer will not let me turn Bluetooth off. It give me a warning sign that I won't be able to use the computer and the only option is ok.
I'm also not having any luck finding out the RSSI levels to see if there's any interference. As far as I know, there are only three devices via blue tooth and I turned off one (my iPhone) and the only other two are the track pad and keyboard.
When I try to follow the RSSI instructions, the option - click doesn't do anything. Very frustrated and thinking I'll need to schedule time with Apple. Today has been very frustrating. -
Loosing bluetooth connection to keyboard and mousepad
My keyboard and mousepad keep loosing connection.
I have replaced the batteries multiple times in both devices so I know that is not the issue.
Once in a while a key will go biserk and just keep typing.

Bluetooth connectivity loss in SL on MBP
I'm losing Bluetooth connectivity with keyboard and mouse when MB Pro goes to sleep. I have to restart to regain the connections. I also have noticed that the option to turn BT on and off from the menu bar status icon has gone away and I am left with a greyed out line of Bluetooth On. Is anyone else seeing this repetitiive and really annoying behavior? Is there a user implementable solution other than reboots?
Hi..,
I also suspect that it´s a class2 - but wanted to check - since I would like to use a Class 1 unit.
I checked with system_profiler from a terminal :
BRCM2046 Hub:
Product ID: 0x4500
Vendor ID: 0x0a5c (Broadcom Corp.)
Version: 1.00
Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Apple Inc.
Location ID: 0x06100000
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 0
Bluetooth USB Host Controller:
Product ID: 0x8213
Vendor ID: 0x05ac (Apple Inc.)
Version: 1.80
Serial Number: 00236CA80779
Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Apple Inc.
Location ID: 0x06110000
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 0
That implies a bcm2046 chip - and I checked it a broadcom:
http://www.broadcom.com/products/Bluetooth/Bluetooth-RF-Silicon-and-Software-Sol utions/BCM2046
I also checked with ioreg:
+-o Broadcom2045FamilyUSBBluetoothHCIController <class Broadcom2045FamilyUSBBluetoothHCIController, id 0x1000011c8, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (2 ms)$

| | | | +-o IOBluetoothHCIUserClient <class IOBluetoothHCIUserClient, id 0x1000014f9, !registered, !matched, active, busy 0, retain
That implies a bcm2045 chip..
I looked that up at broadcom:
<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://www.broadcom.com/products/Bluetooth/Bluetooth-RF-Silicon- and-Software-Solutions/BCM2045
Other sites mentions that this chip can be class1,2 and 3 depending on design.
I don´t know what Apple did, and that´s the answer i+m looking for

I Cannot connect my Logitech keyboard to my IPad. It has been working fine. It may be that I highlighted 'forget this device' when using the IPad without the keyboard. The Bluetooth cannot 'discover' the device. All batteries fully charged. Bluetooth lights up etc. any ideas?

My Logitech keyboard no longer connects to my iPad mini?
My Logitech keyboard no longer connects to my iPad mini?
Is your keyboard charged?
If it is, then ...
on your iPad go to Settings > Bluetooth
1) Does your keyboard appear under Devices?
2) Does it appear under Now Discoverable?
If the answer to (2) is yes, touch it to discover it, and then it should appear under Devices.
If the answer to (1) is yes, touch it to connect to it.
If you have done the above and it refuses to connect, then touch the little blue i beside your keyboard's name, and then choose Forget this Device.
Now turn your keyboard off and then on. The little light on your keyboard should come on. See if it appears on your iPad as discoverable.
If that doesn't work press the button on the behind the power slider on your keyboard. The light on the keyboard should flash blue. Now see if it is discoverable.
If that still doesn't work Reset your iPad, then turn your keyboard off and on.
to Reset your iPad: Hold both the Home and Power buttons down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Let go promptly when the logo appears. Wait another 30 seconds for your iPad to turn itself on. No data will be lost. -
Having backed up ipad, erased and reloaded several times (grrr), eventually worked out that photostream sharing didn't work when keyboard bluetooth connected. Just disconnect and all fine. Surely some conflict between ios7 and the Logitech hardware??

Why doesn´t Bluetooth ´t connect my keyboard
Bluetooth doesn´t connect my keyboard. I have an iPad 3 and it was always connected with my Logitech keyboard via bluetooth. Some days ago I had to disconnet it for a short time but afterwards it didn´t connect any longer. A window opened, that told me again and again "Connection failed". So I tried to connect mi iPhone 5 S with the keyboard and there it worked. So I presume that something is wrong with my iPad. Who can help me? Kind regards klaus 1003

HT4111 Unforget iPad 2 logitech keyboard
Ok so I told my iPad to forget my Logitech keyboard on accident. Is there any way to hook the keyboard back up to bluetooth again. It's very difficult!

Get help with pairing Bluetooth accessories
If you are unable to pair with or connect to an existing Bluetooth accessory, try the following steps:
1. Ensure that the Bluetooth accessory is in range. Most accessories have a range of approximately thirty feet.
2. If you are unable to see the accessory in Settings > Bluetooth:
- If a pairing record already exists, try to connect the accessory using that pairing record, or delete the record and pair again.
- If you have not paired with the accessory, follow the manufacturer's instructions to place it in discovery mode and then pair the accessory.
3. If you can see but are unable to pair with the accessory:
- Verify the PIN for the accessory. You may need to refer to your manufacturer's documentation for this.
- Verify that the Bluetooth accessory is using a profile that works with the iPad, such as Headset, A2DP, or HID.
4. Ensure that the firmware or software on the Bluetooth accessory is up to date.
5. Ensure that the Bluetooth accessory is charged or connected to power.
6. Turn off both the iPad and the Bluetooth accessory, then turn both devices on again.
7. If the issue persists, test Bluetooth with another accessory or consult the manufacturer's documentation.
Thanks,

My iPad wont locate a Bluetooth device. Bluetooth is on, the Logitech keyboard is on, and the iPad just searches. What should I do?
This happened to me. I determined that my keyboard was paired with some other device (iPad or iPhone). I had to find the device which was paired with the keyboard, unpair it from that device, and then the new device that I wanted to pair it with could discover the keyboard. Bluetooth devices already paired with something cannot be discovered. There needs to be a better way.
