My zagg keyboard will not connect to iPad Air even though it has been working fine

My Zagg keyboard will not connect with my iPad Air even though it has been working fine for weeks. Bluetooth and keyboard are on and keyboard is connected to iPad.

Hey Leelll,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are having trouble using a bluetooth keyboard with your iPad. If it is paired to a second iPad that may be an issue.

I am having a similar problem with using an external HD and timemachine for backups. When I first connect the HD with a USB cable timemachine "sees" the drive and allows the backup to start. The backup fails after about 5gb and says that the drive was "disconnected" and then drive is no longer recognized by timemachine and does not show up in Finder. I also did not have an issue until I installed Mt. Lion.

My Apple bluetooth keyboard will not connect to my Macbook (it was connected before)

Hi
My Bluetooth keyboard (model A1314) was connected to my Macbook. I was away on a trip and now it will not connect. A message comes up saying "error connecting to device". I have tried everything that I can think of - replaced the batteries, removed the keyboard from the Bluetooth list.
I would be grateful for some advice please!
Thanks!

Try resetting the SMC.

I cannot get my bluetooth to turn on. My keyboard will not connect

I cannot get my bluetooth to come on. I use my wireless Apple Keyboard at school and then brought it home from school. It would not connect so I thought I could turn my bluetooth off and then turn it back on and re-connect it. But, it would not turn on at all. Any help would be appreciated!!
How can I turn the bluetooth on and re-connect my keyboard?

Ok so here is the update.......... Swapped out the iPad for a new one, via AppleCare warranty. Downloaded my backup, upgraded to current iso, problem solved. Although at first glance this seemed to be a software problem, it appears based on the outcome that it was a hardware malfunction. Thanks for everyone's input. Hope this helps someone with similar problem.

Can not install windows 7 pro using boot camp as mouse and keyboard will not work Help please

I have a new iMac and trying to install Windows 7 Pro using boot camp. I have reached the stage of starting to load windows from the DVD then discovered the mouse and the keyboards not working so I could not interact with windows installation.

Open, if not so already, the Windows formatter. Identify the BC Windows partition. It will be the one listed with the proper size you created and/or will be labeled as a C: drive. Be careful you select the right one or you may be corrupting the entire drive.
Format the partition as NTFS.

Updated to iOS 7 with kensington keyboard, Bluetooth keyboard will not work, help

I Made the mistake of updating and now my Bluetooth kensington keyboard purchased with ipad won't work. Anybody know a fix?

Reset Settings
What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.
 Cheers, Tom

Apple Wireless Keyboard (2007) will not connect

I just got an Apple Wireless Keyboard (2007 aluminum) and it will not connect to any computer that I have tried it on. This is at my work, so I have multiple machines to try it on. I tried it on a couple MacBook Pro's, and several different Mini's.
When I start the Bluetooth Setup Assistant and select "Keyboard" and click continue, it does not find anything. ( http://screencast.com/t/Pev6sLaH )
If I then turn the keyboard off and then back on it will find it. So I click continue so that it can pair with is and it fails, saying it was not discoverable. ( http://screencast.com/t/D0SNKMDR )
If I turn if off and then back on while it is trying to pair, that does not help.
Is the keyboard just DOA? Or am I missing something? I have read the users manual, searched the Apple support KB, and Googled for an answer but found nothing. I am thinking it might just be a bad keyboard but wanted to check here first.

Just to follow up as of today the key board is now paired.
Go figure why one day it will not work then the next day it will.
After reading many of the comments here there must be some sort of software issue with Snow Leopard.
