IPad and wireless keyboard won't go to sleep

I just got my iPad, and it's working great. But I'm a little confused about sleep mode.
When I pull my MagicCover across the screen, does it automatically go to sleep? And it should automatically wake up when I remove the MagicCover, right?
In fact, my iPad continued playing music after I covered it with the MagicCover. I don't know if that's a "native" function, as I had turned the mucic on with my wireless keyboard. But I thought the MagicCover would kill all the processes.
Another time, I turned the music off, but the iPad continued to drain the battery after I covered it with the MagicCover...at least, I think so. I need to do a couple more checks.
Also, it seems like every time I turn my wireless keyboard off to save my batteries, it somehow comes back on. Is there anything that could cause that, other than the on button getting pushed while I'm carrying the keyboard in my luggage? Maybe I need to make some sort of right carrying case that protects the on/off button - or just take the batteries out?
Thanks.

Oops...I just discovered this is covered in the iPad tutorial. Sorry.

  • IPad and wireless keyboard do not pair any more

    I always had (minor) problems, wehn vonnecting iPad and keyboard. But now iPad and wireless keyboard do not pair at all. Tried 15-20 times, fresh batteries, switched on an off, tried manually - nothing. I noticed that the green LED of the keyboard shines just for about 3 seconds when I switch on - but this has always been like that before. Latest OS of course. Who can help, please?

  • IPad and Wireless Keyboard

    Trying to connect my (newer) Apple wireless keyboard to my iPad and it doesn't seem to recognize it. When I turn on bluetooth on the iPad it just keeps searching but not finding the keyboard (sitting right next to it).

    Are you holding the power button down on the keyboard until it blinks? You need to do this to put it in 'discoverable' mode.

  • Pages for iPad and wireless keyboard

    How do you navigate between the cells in a table while using the wireless keyboard.  I am finding I have to click on each cell and then type. The tab key doesn't move to th next cell.  Can anyone help?

    As far as I know, you're stuck doing it the manual way for the time being.

  • I would like to AirPlay mirror my iMac and be able to use both my magic mouse and wireless keyboard, but the bluetooth range won't let me. Is there a way to extended its range?

    I am buying an iMac to AirPlay mirror on my big screen TV with AppleTV (2nd generation). But my TV is located far away from my iMac and I won't be able to use my magic mouse or wireless keyboard via bluetooth connection. I know I can use an app to simulate both mouse and keyboard, but I really need to use the actual devices.  
    I wish there was a way to pair them to my iPad or iPhone, via bluetooth, and control my iMac via network. It is a cheap solution, as I wouldn't need to buy any other device. I believe all these devices, without modifications, have enough technology to be able to work as I've imagined. The only need was to adapt the software.
    Is there a solution simple as this one, or do I have to buy a Bluetooth extender in order to use my magic mouse and wireless keyboard? If so, which BT extender do you suggest and what is its range?
    Thank you!

    If you are still under warranty, contact Apple to get it serviced. You can also visit an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get it looked at.

    Impossible, there are zero, as in none, zip, nadda viruses for OS X. If you have viruses on it they are for MS Windows and will not affect OS X. I suspect the hard disk has crashed, if you have backup then it's not a big deal to have it changed, just take it into your local Apple Store or AASP for service. If you have not been backing it up you may be in for a painful lesson on why backup is critical.

  • Having trouble linking iPad to wireless keyboard

    My wireless keyboard won't connect with my iPad!  Any suggestions?

    You need to make sure that Bluetooth is activated in your iPad. It takes some times for the 2 to pair after that ... Assuming you have the Alu Keyboard and not the older White wireless keyboard (which does not work)

  • Apple wireless keyboard won't let me delete without using the fn key.

    My apple wireless keyboard won't let me delete in indesign without using the fn key. Is there a key command that I accidentally hit that causes that or something? I've never had this happen before. It isn't happening in any other program, just indesign cs4. Has anyone had this happen and how do I fix it?

    I figured it out. My keyboard shortcut set in indesign was corrupt. I went back to the default set and created a new set and the delete key started working again.

  • My new wireless keyboard won't pair with my mac book pro 10.6.7

    So are you saying that it does appear in the Bluetooth browser and after selecting it and then entering the passcode the keyboard fails to pair?

  • My Apple wireless keyboard won't connect to my Mac mini any more.

    My Apple wireless keyboard won't connect to my Mac mini any more. Going through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant doesn't help - the computer finds the keyboard, but when I type in the pass code it fails to pair with it. The green LED on the bottom of the keyboard flashes twice at roughly two-second intervals. I've tried replacing the batteries and this has had no effect. I have all the latest software updates installed.

    Welcome Cheirhandrea!
    There are easily hundreds of variants of the iMac dating back to 1998. Many of the pre-2006 iMacs this forum covers cannot support an Apple wireles keyboard. Because this model has been in production for so long, it is important for you to let us know as much about your computer as possible so someone won't give you information that may not be appropriate to your iMac variant.
    So we need to know:
    1) Your processor type and Mac OSX version, both available by doing "About this Mac" from your Apple menu at the left end of the menu bar:
    2) The make and model of the keyboard.
    I asked for your Mac OS version because "iOS" as currently shown in your equipment profile cannot run on any Mac computer, only Apple's mobile devices. Once you get the OS version from "About this Mac," please change your profile to avoid further confusion and get help faster without the delay of someone having to ask for clarification before they can start helping.

  • My wireless keyboard won't pair with my computer

    help, my wireless keyboard won't pair with my computer.  the green light blinks and it won't sync during the pairing process.

    Did it pair earlier??
    I just lost my Wireless kbd Bluetooth connection twice recently. And found the following solution:
    1. Delete the kbd from Bluetooth system prefs.
    2. Shut down the kbd
    3. In system prefs, keyboard choose "Configure Bluetooth keyboard..." at the bottom
    4. Press the power button on the kbd until the green LED blinks, kbd gets detected
    5. Switch OFF the kbd
    6. Click "Continue"
    7. Power on the kbd as described in 4.
    8. Kbd gets paired, enter the digit code and Enter
    9. Go to system prefs, Bluetooth and add the kbd as a favorite
    That did it for me. Hope it works for you, too.

  • New mac mini and wireless keyboard

    how do I set up a new mac mini and wireless keyboard at the same time?

    Since the Mac Mini does not come with a Monitor, Keyboard or Mouse those are needed when setting up a Mac Mini. I don't know what brand wireless KB you have or if that even matters.
    I have an Apple wireless keyboard (bluetooth), Apple magic trackpad (bluetooth), and Dell DVI monitor. When I initially booted my new Mac Mini, the screen showed it searching for bluetooth devices. It found the keyboard first and then a few seconds later, the mouse. So, I had all devices to finish setup of the Mini.

  • So my i just dropped my iPad and now it won't start up. It just keeps turning on and off. Like the apple symbol shows up and then goes away? What happened and is there a way to fix it. I tried restoring and that didn't work

    I pretty much stated it in my question. I dropped my iPad and now it won't boot itself up. The apple symbol shows up, then the screen turns all black and weird looking with a strange green color at the bottom, and just turns off. It keeps doing this over and over. What happened and is there a way to fix it? I also tried connecting it to itunes and that doesn't seem to be working. It detects an ipad but can't seem to read anything else. It tells me to try and restore it but I can't. HELP!!!

    Try this. It worked for a few users after a drop.
    Turn the iPad over and give it a very HARD slap on the back. May take several slaps.
     Cheers, Tom
