Ipad mini bluetooth wont pair

I have a ipad mini w/retina. Suddenly it won't pair on bluetooth with my keyboard. I've cold started and tried several different keyboards. I see a message that lasts less than a half second giving the digit code but then a message overwrites that ballon with the unable to connect message. Thoughts?

Hello AMSUSIE,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand you're having issues connecting your Apple Wireless Keyboard to your iPad mini. Have you tried unpairing the wireless keyboard, and then pairing it again?
Use an Apple Wireless Keyboard
You can use an Apple Wireless Keyboard (available separately) to enter text on your iPad. The keyboard connects via Bluetooth, so you must first pair it with iPad.
Pair an Apple Wireless Keyboard with iPad. Turn on the keyboard, go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth, then tap the keyboard when it appears in the Devices list.
Once it’s paired, the keyboard reconnects to iPad whenever it’s in range—up to about 30 feet (10 meters). When it’s connected, the onscreen keyboard doesn’t appear.
Save your batteries. Turn off Bluetooth and the wireless keyboard when not in use. You can turn off Bluetooth in Control Center. To turn off the keyboard, hold down the On/off switch until the green light goes off.
Unpair a wireless keyboard. Go to Settings > Bluetooth, tap next to the keyboard name, then tap “Forget this Device.”

IPad mini Bluetooth issues

I just bought two iPad minis and the Bluetooth has been working great to sync purchased apps until today. Now it just spins and says searching under devices. I've tried turning wifi off on both and restarting several times. Can anyone help??

Hi CarrieL,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If I understand your question ... you are trying to update both of your iPad minis when you make a purchase on one of them. Is that correct? The simple solution is to change your settings in the iTunes & App Store to automatically download purchases to each device.
Purchase, rent, or redeem - iPad User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPaddd072760
Bought something on another device? Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store to set up automatic downloads to your iPad. To see your purchased music, movies, and TV shows, in iTunes Store, tap Purchased.
I hope this information helps ....
Happy Holidays!

IPad mini bluetooth range

Hi guys, I'm having a really annoying problem with my iPad mini (1st gen). I have a bluetooth receiver for my speakers at my place, and my iPad is having issues connecting to the amp. At a range of about 10 feet the audio keeps breaking up and the music is unlistenable. for a comparison, my iPhone 6 can play music at around 30 feet through two walls.
my iPad wasn't always like this. It used to perform relatively well. Any advice?

I was just trying to connect a wireless keyboard via the Bluetooth app on my ipad mini and was just seeing the search circle go round and round with no luck.
I then went into the main Settings and clicked on the Bluetooth icon under the WiFi one and lo and behold the keyboard showed up, I clicked on it and received the pairing code. Success!

Ipad mini 32 and can't connect to my HP Pavilion DM1 windows 8 via bluetooth

Just got a new Ipad mini 32 and can't connect to my HP Pavilion DM1 windows 8 via bluetooth. I get to the stage where you have to confirm on both systems the generated code and then it goes in error. Not supported. Any clue ?

Unless you have an iOS app that uses BT for a specific purpose, such as file transfer, BT on the iPad alone, as stated, does not support it.

I have an IPad mini WiFi (not cellular) and an IPhone 5. I use the bluetooth connection between both devices when on the road. I downloaded a navigation system on my IPad using GPS positioning. Is Bluetooth OK to use GPS positioning on the IPad?

My new backbeat GO 2 is not recognized by bluetooth service on my ipad mini with ios 7.0.4! Could you help me?

My new backbeat GO 2 headset is not recognized by bluetooth service of my new ipad mini with ios 7.0.4! It doesńt appear in the list of bluetooth devices. It was working on previous versions! What happens? Could someone help me? Thanks!

There are a ton of posts on this already if you search the forums.In short...
Delete all Bluetooth profiles from your device. Do the same if your Bluetooth devices allow for that.
Setting > Reset Network Settings
Reset your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Repair your devices
Try again to see if the problem persists.

Bluetooth stopped working on my ipad mini after ios7 update

Bluetooth stopped working on my ipad mini and my iphone 5 after I updated to ios 7. My Ipad 4 which is not updated can't see them either. Samsung devices can see them but not connect and they can't see each other. Help

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Has anyone had problems connecting iPad mini to Jawbone speakers via Bluetooth?

IPad mini iTunes sync without Bluetooth??

I have a wifi-only iPad Mini on order for my wife. Her computer is an older iMac5,2 without Bluetooth. Will she be able to transfer/sync her contact data, photos and music using the iMac's USB connection? Would any additional adaptor/'camera kit' be needed for this?
Thanks in advance.

Here are the iPad Mini Technical specs for syncing with iTunes. She has to be running iTunes 10.7 and that requires an Intel Mac. Bluetooth is of no use anyway for syncing purposes.
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
Download iTunes at www.itunes.com/download
There are some WiFi transfer apps available in the App Store that will move photos and videos to the iPad from the Mac - assuming that the Mac meets the requirements for those apps.
Without knowing more about her Mac, more than likely, she will not be able to sync with iTunes and may have problems with the WiFi transfer apps of her Mac is that old.

IPad mini retina won't bluetooth pair - even with Apple products!

my brand new ipad mini retina 128 doesn't bluetooth pair - even with an apple chicklet keyboard (or other keyboards or even with my iphone 5s)!!!!
what a joke
I've read posts and tried resetting ipad, bluetooth, peripherals, etc
any suggestions? again, totally weak on apple's part

Also, iOS devices will not pair with any other iPhone or iPad as you have found out. They are designed to be paired with bluetooth keyboards, stereos, headsets and, for thethering only, phones and computers.
