I can't pair my iPad 2 with my 2006 Apple wireless keyboard with keypad

The iPad can see the keyboard, but when I try to pair them I get a message that the keyboard is not supported. Is there any way to get the two to pair up?
The keyboard is Bluetooth 2.0 it seems like it should work. The iPad is Bluetooth 2.1 but it should be backward compatible.

Is your Bluetooth Keyboards firmware up to date? 
Check by pairing the keyboard to your Mac, then clicking on the top left Apple>Software Update and if there is a keyboard firmware update, download/install it.
I haven't used my Bluetooth Keyboard with my Macbook Pro in FOREVER, So I DID have to update my Firmware today.

  • Can't pair my iPad 2 with iTunes 11 (Remote isn't Working)

    Hello Guys,
    I have an iPad 2 and just bought an Apple TV and i want to use Home Sharing between them. But my Remote App (iPad 2) and iTunes 11 (PC / 64-bit Windows 7) don't let me do it.
    * All the devices are connected in the same Wi-Fi network
    * All the devices' Home Sharing feature is open
    When i'm opening Remote app and following the "Settings > Add an iTunes Library" path, a four-digit code appears. But in my iTunes, there isn't any place for entering this code. I tried everything. But nothing worked. Apple Support page says that "You must also have the iTunes preference "Look for iPod touch, iPhone and iPad Remotes" enabled" but in my iTunes, it only says "iTunes is not paired with any Remotes" and "Forget All Remotes" button is inactive.
    Some othe persons have this trouble too. For example: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3227453?start=0&tstart=0 and https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4130459?start=0&tstart=0 but these discussions didn't help me either.
    What should i do? I really want to solve this problem. Really. I'm going to mad about that. I'm doing everything on proper, but i can't receive complete service. It is really bothering me.
    Please help.

    It isn't asking for iTunes 10.6.3 on your iPad, you need it on your Mac.

    Pair it for what purpose? If you mean over Bluetooth only certain things are supported for Bluetooth on the iPad.

  • I can´t pair my Brookstone headphones with my Ipad 3

    I can´t pair my Brookstone headphones with my Ipad 3, the Ipad simply doesn´t detect the device. I was using these headphones with my old Ipad 2. The device Manual of Instructions says it works with all Ipads. Any suggestions to solve the problem?

    Is your old iPad still in the house?  If it is, I believe you need to have your old device forget the headphones before you can pair with your new iPad.

  • How can I pair an iPad with an android phone via Bluetooth?

    How can I pair an iPad with an android phone via Bluetooth? I get the pair message on both, but after acknowledging on both devices the connection fails to establish. I looked around and everything I found had to do with file transfer. I can share access to the internet via Bluetooth and it works with other devices I've tried this with. Thanks.

    Sorry.  After re-reading my question I realized that I wasn't clear.  I don't want to transfer files.  I want to use PDANet from my android and connect my iPad for internet access via bluetooth.  I know this is a 2 way transfer of data not very different from transferring files, but I just want to be sure that this is not going to work so I can stop trying as if I'm doing something wrong.  Like I said, I can do this with any other bluetooth capable device/computer I have.  Seems like it's just not working either by design or as a result of some limitation.  I guess 2 way communication with a headset gave me hope that internet access would work.  Thanks!

  • How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

    There are many apps in the App Store for transferring files between a computer and an iPhone using a cable, WiFi, or a cloud connection. Box and Dropbox cloud services are the easiest to use; I use Dropbox routinely to transfer business documents to our offices around the world.
    Evernote is another widely used cloud service.
    For local WiFi transfers there's Documents to Go, Airsharing, QuickOffice, and several dozen more. Documents to Go and QuickOffice also let you edit MS Word documents on the iPhone.

  • I can't print using airprint from my iPhone 4.  Everything with the phone and the printer and router are up to date.  I can print from my iPad 2 with no problems.  What's wrong with the iPhone 4?

    I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

  • Can I use the iPad 3 with older wireless keyboard

    I now have the IPad 3 and have the Apple wirless keyboard that I got for my IPad 1. I have not been able to connect it.

    No, as mentioned it is not useable as a true phone, and the carriers will not treat it as such,
    You can make voice over IP calls with it, just as you can with just about any internet connected device.  But no cell phone company is going to let you use a cell phone plan on a data-only device like an iPad.

  • HT1386 Hi, I have an old powermac G4 laptop running OS X 10.5.8, can I sync my ipad mini with the version of itunes running on it?

    Hi
    I have a powerbook G4 laptop, A1095 running OSX 10.5.8
    Can I sync my ipad mini with the itunes I have installed?
    Regards
    Gavin

    Yes ... with regard to syncing. Actually, you need to be running OS X 10.6.8. This is copied from the iPad Mini tech specs website.
    Apple ID (required for some features)
    Internet access6
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later

  • Why I can't paired my iPhone 6 with my Mac Pro?

    Why I can't paired my iPhone 6 with my Mac Pro?

    Some of the continuity steps require you to have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on. Some require you to be logged into the same Wi-Fi network. Either way, the answer to your question is that it will not pair with your Mac.

  • Hi I am unsuccessful in pairing my iPad 3 with my friend'sGT 19070 phone.  Her phone says we are paired but my iPad does not see the pair; it says it is unsupported.  Any suggestions?

    Hi I am unsuccessful in pairing my iPad 3 with my friend'sGT 19070 phone.  Her phone says we are paired but my iPad does not see the pair; it says it is unsupported.  Any suggestions?

    The iPad message is correct, it is unsupported. You cannot pair your iPad with your friends phone. Bluetooth on the iPad is designed for the use of headphones, keyboards, speakers and some peer to peer gaming.
