I have an Apple wireless keyboard that I use with my iPad 2.  Does it work with the iPad 3?

I have an Apple wireless keyboard synced to my iPad 2.  Can sync this same keyboard be used with my iPad 3?  If so, what are the syncing instructions?

Assuming you are talking about the aluminium keyboard the answer is yes.  I had some problems trying to get my iPad 2/keyboard combo to 'forget' their connection but one complete the keyboard connected to my iPad 3.

  • I have an Apple wireless keyboard that will not turn on, even with new batteries.  The contacts seem fine.  What could be the problem?

    My wireless keyboard will not turn on despite new batteries.  It is about 8 years old. The contacts seem to be good.  What could be the problem?

    Hi elljohnson,
    It is important when replacing discharged batteries in the Apple Wireless Keyboard to make sure the new batteries are oriented correctly. See this article for directions -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • I have 2 Apple Wireless Keyboards (old style, not flat) that will not pair.

    Hello.
    I own a MBpro, A Mac Pro, and a Mac Mini. I have 2 Apple Wireless Keyboards (the old style with the extended keyboard and transparent case with white keys). Neither keyboard will pair on any system.
    The Macs see one of the keyboards just fine but refuse to pair it when I type the 8-digit pass phrase and the return key. Also no luck if I try without a passkey. The other keyboard cannot even be detected by any system.
    Is this keyboard design just plain defective? This is the third one (there's also one at work) that refuses to pair. If I have to purchase another one, then this one will end up smashed on Apple's showroom floor. I've about had it with these things.
    Please help if you can.

    Hello Steve:
    I have not had a similar problem so I am fishing a bit. I think the problem is rooted in what I thought in my previous post.
    Now, how to fix it?
    Try this:
    Go to system preferences>bluetooth. Delete any KB entries there. Trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist). Be sure that on and discoverable are checked in the BT preference pane. Restart your computer.
    Hopefully, whatever KB you have turned on will be "discovered."

  • Why do I keep getting a "Pairing Request" from an Apple Wireless Keyboard that I'm not using?

    If you are sure that the battery isn't empty, then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Have you plugged the USB cable into the computer also as the brightness is controlled over USB. If this does not work, you would need the Apple Display Driver for the version of Windows that you are using. The display driver is part of BootCamp software that you may be able to find online

  • I have an Apple Wireless Keyboard trying to pair with two computers

    I have two Mac Mini's:
    Mac Mini #1
    Core 2 Duo T7200
    2GB DDR2 5300
    120GB Sandisk SSD
    OS X Lion 10.7.4
    Apple Wireless Keyboard
    Apple Magic Trackpad
    Mac Mini #2
    Core 2 Duo T5600
    2GB DDR2 5300
    120GB OCZ SSD
    OS X Lion 10.7.4
    Generic USB Keyboard (Mac Compatible)
    Apple Magic Mouse
    Both are running OS X LION.  When I turn off the Mini with the wireless keyboard, the other Mini tries to pair up with the keyboard, each and every time.  I've deleted the com.apple.bluetooth.plist and com.apple.bluetooth.lockfile and reset PRAM on both machines.
    I've also removed the batteries from the keyboard and held the power button down for 30 seconds in hope of clearing any lingering juice. 
    As soon as the computers are powered back up, it tries to pair with the other computer first, rather than the one it paied with.  This keyboard is NOT listed as a paired device on Mini #2; never has.
    Any ideas?

    Yeah, I'm afraid Apple's initial wireless keyboard simply isn't compatible with iOS. Only the newer flat-keyed models are.

  • I have an iMac 24" EMC 2111 intel core 2 duo running OX lion and would like to set up a first gen Apple wireless keyboard. It has been discovered but won't let me type the code. What am I doing wrong?

    I cant set up my older wireless keyboard with my iMac. The Apple site shows this keyboard model as needing a USB keyboard and mouse for initial set up, but I dont know how to do that. Blue tooth finds the keyboard, yet when I need to type the passcode, nothing happens. the keys wont function. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

  • I got a external Apple Wired Keyboard (w/ NumPad), caps lock mapped to control doesn't work with tab + caps lock + shift

    I got a external Apple Wired Keyboard (w/ NumPad) since I'm a developer. I have used control panel > keyboard > modifier keys to make the caps lock key the control key. I can't get it to work when I press caps lock (which maps to control) +shift + tab (which I use to change tabs backwards).
    Any ideas? It works when I use the regular control key, and it works on my built-in MBPro keyboard. Thx!

    Hi Steve, Welcome to apple discussions.
    Hmm, that is a strange problem. Well, you've already done what I would suggest which is to go to the keyboard settings and click the "Restore defaults" button in the modifier keys window and try again. If that doesn't work then you can restart the computer and check. If that doesn't work you can try to reset the pram. Hold the optioncommand+PR buttons after you hear the startup chime, it should chime again, I let it chime a third time just for good measure and see if things look better.
    If that fails then you can try making another account and seeing if the caps lock works in the new account. There might be some strange error on your account that would be corrected for in a new account. After that it gets more labor intensive. Do a system re-install, do an erase and install.
    You might consider a trip to the apple genius bar there in Honolulu if can. The should be able to run through all that for you. You're still under warrantee so take advantage and get some help.
    Oh, and just a disclaimer that I learned from Adam on the maccast podcast. Make a full, complete backup including a time machine and bootable (like superduper or carbon copy cloner) disk before you do any of the above or take the unit it for service.
    Hope this helps.

  • I use Verizon Fios as my ISP.  I am not able to set up verizon yahoo mail on my mini.  I had set it up previously on my apple laptop and my iPad, but it does not work on the iPad mini.  Also this morning it stopped working on the other apple devices.

    really your going to want to contact verizon to get the proper setting

  • I am having the same problem with my sound, it does not work with my games. I tried the info that was given below

    I tried the suggestion for the sound, but it is not working. the sound will not play for my games, but it does play for all other Apps

    As you don't say what suggestion it is that you've tried, I don't know whether you mean for having notifications muted, so you may already have tried the following.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
