IPad finds bluetooth Altec speaker but will not pair

I had been using the Altec Lansing in motion Soundblade bluetooth speaker with my iPad with no problem. I brought it on vacation and paired it with another device, and now the iPad will not pair with it. It finds it when it searches, but when it says "not Paired" in the box next to the device number. When I choose it to pair, it thinks for a few seconds and goes back to not paired. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Do you have the other device that it was paired with? Sometimes you have to un-pair a device before you can pair with another. For the iPad you do this by douching the button that say forget this device. Removing the battery from the speakers for a little while may also work.

My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus 3.0) is recognised by my iMac but will not pair? I have paired it with my iPad using code 8310 but it still will not pair with my iMac. Can someone help please?

My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus brand - bought recently in Thailand)(similar to Mac small keyboard) will pair with my iPad using code 8310,and is recognized by my iMac but will not pair?
There are very scant instructions with the keyboard and no mention of any code (the code was prompted by my iPad).
I have followed the instructions but it still will not pair with my iMac!
Can anyone help please?
My iMac is 20 inch Mid 2007 OSX10.9.1 4GB RAM

Hi All, thank you for you suggestions. I have been unable to find any website for the maker, but have looked at several Thai/cambodian sites incl <http://www.buycoms.com/Article/8435/index.asp> which mentions the keyboard being suitable for tablet or windows. No mention of iMac! although the box is branded to indicate Mac compatable.
I'm thinking that maybe it just will not pair with an iMac.
Ill keep looking for the maker website, which might come on later in the future? maybe?
thanks again.

I have the 1st generation iPad. All of a sudden it will not connect to my wi-fi. It finds my wi-fi, but will not totally connect. I have done everything...reset network, rebooted router etc and it still will not connect. My other divices are connected....iPhone and 3 Macs. 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

Bluetooth connects but will not pair to device

Iphone 5 running on 7.1.2. bluetooth connects to CAR KIT but will not pair (does not ask for code after connecting). audio only plays from phone and not through the speakers connected by bluetooth. I have done the apple trouble solution steps and the problem still persists. any help would be appreciated. the device is compatible with iPhone.

Hey there jrf07d,
It sounds like your phone is not pairing to your vehicles bluetooth connection. I would recommend these steps to get it paired, from the following article:
iOS: Troubleshooting Bluetooth connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4562
On your iOS device, tap Settings > Bluetooth and find your device in the list. If your device says Not Connected, tap the name of your accessory to attempt to connect it.
Tap Settings > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth off and then on again.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Bluetooth and locate the Bluetooth accessory you are currently connected to or attempting to connect to. Then tap and "Forget this Device". Try to pair your Bluetooth accessory again.
You may need to your Bluetooth accessory PIN again if your accessory requires one. Some common PINs are 0000, 1111, and 1234.
Restart your Bluetooth accessory by turning it off and then on again1.
Update your device to the latest version of software. See how to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
If your Bluetooth accessory has upgradable firmware, check to see that you have the latest version1, 2.
Can't pair to a Bluetooth accessory
If you see the word "Connected" next to a Bluetooth accessory in Settings > Bluetooth, your iOS device is already paired to a Bluetooth accessory. Remember, you can only connect to one Bluetooth accessory at a time.
If your Bluetooth accessory requires a PIN for pairing, be sure that you are entering the correct PIN1.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

I have updated to iOS8. Now cannot connect to BT speaker I have been using for months. BT discovers it but will not pair. Help please

I have updated to iOS8. Now cannot connect to BT speaker that I have been using for months. BT discovers it but will not pair. I have tried switching both off & on but nothing helps.

I am sure the BT speaker not the problem because it works fine with iOS8 on my iPad!
... And no I am not trying to connect both at once. To be sure I have switched the iPad off completely and switched the speaker off & on but still with the same failure to pair. The iPhone sees the speaker but then gives me the pairing unsuccessful message when asked to connect.

My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet".How can I change ip address?

My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.

First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly.

Can anyone tell me what to do my ipad 2 is frozen reset but will not come on seem the apple logo which disappeared and now is frozen

Can anyone tell me what to do my ipad 2 is frozen reset but will not come on seem the apple logo which disappeared and now is frozen

I really can't tell from your post but did you try rebooting the iPad?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

My iPad is showing app updates but will not load. What's up?

My iPad is showing updates available but none will load. I've even gone through each app but can't find any. Anyone know what's going on.

Happening to many users, me too - I suspect a server problem. Wait a day or use itunes to update, I was able to do that.

I have 5s go to settings it finds my wireless router but will not hook up

My ipad has sort of frozen but will not turn off by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button

my daughters i pad has sort of frozen. She can lock it and unlock it. All it is showing is her wallpaper. All her apps have disappeared.
We cannot restart it as per the apple support troubleshooting assistant as it will not turn off. Help

Have you tried to hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds or so, until you see a silver apple. See if you can get it to reboot.

TS3253 My iPad 3 sees my Polk Audio 5000 in Bluetooth but will not pair?

When I originally installed the Polk Audio Soundbar 5000 it would pair and play a few songs fine. Now my iPad sees it as an available device but continually fails to pair. I have completely powered down both devices and tried to pair several times with no success. Any ideas?

Update...powered down soundbar and turned off iPhone...after reporting both devices finally found soundbar as an option to pair and finally linked up...working great now

TS2662 My keyboard will pair with my iPad but will not pair with my MAC...any ideas?

I have had my iMac for 2 years now...I have never had a problem pairing my keyboard. The batteries died in my keyboard so I changed them and now I can't get the keyboard to pair to my iMac. I know the keyboard is fine and the batteries work because the keyboard will pair to my ipad. Any reason my iMac is having trouble pairing with the keyboard? Thanks!

If it is paired currently, you need to unpair it if you want to pair it back with the iMac.
As I said, it can only be paired to one device. If you want to use it with another, you need to unpair it first and then pair it with the other one.
And, if you need to sign in with your password to your Mac, you will need to borrow any USB keyboard to do so and to pair it; once it's recognized, you can use the wireless keyboard again.
