IPad cant see my Bluetooth Keyboard, any suggestions?
I have an iPad 3G 16GB and I'm wanting to use my Apple Bluetooth keyboard with it but i'm having trouble.
When i turn on Bluetooth on my iPad it searches for devices, but just searches and searches and searches and finds nothing, my keyboard is on, I've tried pressing the power button on the keyboard but no dice.
The keyboard is the wireless aluminium model that came with my 24" iMac (Mid 2009), surely it is compatible?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Brad.
If you had the keyboard paired with your Mac, you need to unpair it before the iPad can pair with it.

However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

I just recently purchase an ipad with retina display it is also my first apply product and I am not liking it. First it won't stay connected to my wifi and it won't pair on my nokia N8 phone via bluetooth. Any suggestion? Thanks!
No one from Apple here - this is a user-to-user forum for the Apple Thunderbolt Display. If you don't like your iPad, sell it.
If you want to ask questions about your iPad, go to the iPad community forum.

After update 6.0.1 I am unable to conduct online banking with wifi on. I can with 3G and wifi off. Same with iPad or my iPhone 4. Any suggestions?
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

I have iPad 2. Just bought Panasonic AF200. I have adapter to upload pictures. My iPad says device not compatible. Any suggestion to get it working
Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.

Hi, I'm currently browsing the web looking for a case that is compatible with the smart cover for the iPad 2. If anyone has any suggestions I would be glad to read all opinions! Thanks!
I love the Smart Cover. It fits the way I work and I love the instant on/off and the always available screen protection. I wouldn't use my iPad without it.
I got a Cover Buddy for the back, because I wanted the back to be less slippery when I'm using the iPad in the classroom, teaching. I picked this back cover because it's VERY lightweight, easy to get on or off and, protects the corners, has accurate cutouts for the ports, and (in the colors) has a rubberized surface:
http://www.switcheasy.com/products/CoverBuddy/
I have a Built NY "hoody" slip on case with a hard internal shell that I use when I'm in the field and I can put the iPad with the Smart Cover and the Cover Buddy inside this . But for everyday use, the Smart Cover with the Cover Buddy is a terrific combination. -

My lock button isn't working and I completely forgot that, I turned off my phone to restart it and now I cant turn it back on, Any suggestions?
You need to get the on/off button repaired.
You can try connecting the iPhone to a power source which should power the iPhone on. -
Ipad2 printer is wifi but iPad can't find it. Any suggestions please.
I have bought a wifi printer, connected it to sky router but iPad can't find it. Any suggestions please.
Left to its own devices, the iPad won't find any printers at all except for, I gather, AirPrint ones. All the rest have to be handled in various different ways through various different apps and techniques.
Suggest you provide a bit more information about what you're actually trying to connect and perhaps someone can provide some more specific info for you. -

How can I send a message on my ipad 2 using my bluetooth keyboard
Hey All,
I would like the ability to send a iMessage using my bluetooth keyboard on my iPad. I don't know why this hasn't been addressed just yet, but would like to reach out to see what can be done to get this feature added. I also have noticed that the keyboard doesn't work very well when browsing the internet. I cannot use arrows or any combination of keys to scroll. Can this be added anytime soon? I really love the fact that I can now type comfortably using my bluetooth keyboard and don't want to go back to a laptop.
Thanks,

Using icloud, address are correct on iphone 4s, and ipad version 1, but are doubling on my macbook pro. All updates are current. Any suggestions? Driving me crazy.
Check the duplicate contacts are not in another account other than your iCloud account. Turn to Users and Groups view to see what accounts you have.

I have automatic upload etc. activated in Photo Stream. I just uploaded new photos from my camera to my MacBook Pro, but nothing is sowing up on my iPhones my iMacs iPad or on Apple TV. Does anyone have. Any suggestions as to what I can. Do? I am currently on permahold with. apple Help.
THANKS!My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
or http://www.apple.com/contact/
We are just end users here helping other end users.
Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
Good luck! -
Ipad 2 dosen't turn on, any suggestions?
i was using my ipad 30 min ago, I left it and when I came back to use it again it dosen't turn on, any suggestions?
Thanks. See if it will Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe
Failing that, have a read at this - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
