Need help pairing a Kensington Bluetooth keyboard to iPad Air...

I tried everything. It just won't pair. When I turn it on, the message pops up what code to type in to pair, than quickly jumps to an error message saying "Pairing Unsuccessful". I don't even get time to input anything. Someone help me here.

  • LINKING KAMOR BLUETOOTH KEYBOARD TO IPAD AIR

    I have just bought a Kamor bluetooth keyboard for my iPad air but it won't link to my iPad.
    My Ipad knows its there as it lists it as a discoverable device.
    When I try and link the two it gives me a code to type in but every time I type in the code it tells me the pairing is unsuccessful. it's driving me mad

  • Why won't my new mac mini pair with my bluetooth keyboard or mouse

    I bought a new mini in December. I've been fighting with getting it set up since. It refuses to see/pair with my bluetooth keyboard or mouse. How am I supposed to proceed with setup if I can't even get off the start-up screen???
    1.4GHz
    1.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 (Turbo Boost up to 2.7GHz) with 3MB on-chip shared L3 cache

    The Bluetooth devices were probably paired with another computer. You need to "unpair" these Bluetooth devices before pairing with another.

  • RSI Issue: Need help on IBM/Lenovo external keyboards w Trackpoint? Pic

    Need help on IBM/Lenovo external keyboards w Trackpoint? Pic
    I started my journey with Thinkpads on a T42, then T43.. then T61, X61T, R61 & T410 (bought for 2 cousins & they love it), W510 (dads new laptop). I may be a much recent convert but I swear by them now. 
    MAJOR ISSUE: Recently started feeling RSI (Repetitive Stress) & Carpal Tunnel symptoms (already doing stretches.. adjusted the desk.. & finding new adjustable LCD stand) since I am not using the Thinkpad directly... but using it docked with an External keyboard. Lot of Mousing as well. I'd like to go back to Thinkpad FEEL... or atleast have keyboard with a pointing device so my hands dont have to keep moving back n forth. 
    So, it would be great it some of my fellow T4x/T6x/X6x 'ers would guide me a bit on this... share their first hand experience, or what they've seen on these keyboards and feel free to point me to reliable sources of information. 
    Currently this would greatly be use with T61 - Adv Mini Dock - 30" XHD3000 LCD as shown in my signature below. 
    Anyone who has used or know something about one of these Thinkpad related keyboard (ideally both of these to give a comparative response). 
    Which of the following have you used? 
    How was the experience? 
    (Maybe point me to thread with peoples experiences)
    If you've used several, which one do you prefer / recommend? Why? 
    At the moment I have a "slim" BTC 6200C desktop keyboard. It has laptop like scissor keyswitches, so I like it the slim notebook like profile. 
    The way I have positioned my 30" LCD I'd like to be able to keep the keyboard on my lap at times while on my chair and maybe on the desk at times.

    W510 4319-2PU: 15.6"FHD/i7-720QM/4G/Win7Pro64 (for dad)
    T43 1875-DLU: 14.1"XGA/1.7PM-740/1G/XP
    Dell:
    Inspiron 9300: 17"WUXGA/NVidiaGeForce6800/2.2PM/2G/XP (old)

    I had the same issue - had to go to voice command for a few weeks (sucked) wore wrist gards to keep things netural.
    Everything went away when I changed to a USB keyboard with the Ultra nav (I use the track point and disable the pad).
    I've been working like that for 6+ years now... no issues.
    (as a side note, sleeping with wrist guards on helped heal me the fastest.  I had neoprine, with a metal plate in them - from a local drug store)

  • I paired my apple Bluetooth keyboard with my iPad but when trying to connect back to iMac it shows paired but I cannot connect to it

    I paired my apple Bluetooth keyboard with my iPad.  Now I paired it with my iMac it shows paired but I cannot connect to it?

    Hello:
    Try this on your iPad:
    Unpairing a Bluetooth accessory
    If you've paired iPad with an accessory that you no longer wish to use, you can unpair the accessory.
    From the Home screen choose Settings > General > Bluetooth. If Bluetooth isn't on, turn it on.
    Choose the accessory and tap Unpair.

  • HT201178 when using apple bluetooth keyboard with iPad, hitting the enter/return key while typing in iMessage only adds another line not 'send' the message? is there a setting to change that somewhere?

    when using apple bluetooth keyboard with iPad, hitting the enter/return key while typing in iMessage only adds another line not 'send' the message? is there a setting to change that somewhere?

    Everywhere that I've checked it is not possible to do this. I would like to even do this using the vkb. I hate having to stretch my thumb all the way up just to send a message. It's messaging, not a report or email. Seems backwards. Hopefully some day Apple can add this option.

    I need help verifying the details of a used ipad mini I'm about to buy. Is this possible by just providing the serial

    It depends on what you mean by "verifying the details".  sberman gave you the best place to look to research the technical specifications of the device you are thinking of purchasing. If, however, you're asking how to check if the device is Activation Locked, then you can check the status here: https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/

  • IPad 2 does not find or pair with Apple bluetooth keyboard - waiting -

    When I turn bluetooth on on the iPad 2 it keeps searching with the words 'Searching' and 'Now Discoverable' as it searches. the A1314 keyboard is on and is the same keyboard I use for my MacBook Pro, which it pairs perfectly with. The iPad simply never stops searching and never connects or offers connection. The keyboard is turned on and batteries are good and also it works every day with the MacBook Pro.
    Any ideas for a solution?
    TIA,
    Ken

    According to the keyboards user guide, the keyboard is discoverable when the indicator light is flashing. Are you trying to pair the two while both are discoverable?
    Try resetting the iPad before trying to pair with the BT keyboard. Press and hold simultaneously the Home and Power buttons for 10+ seconds, ignoring the power off slider, until the Apple logo appears.
    Dah•veed
    I did all of that but not sure that any of it did as much as simply turning off the computer to make sure that the keyboard was not being used by it. I now find that I could have turned off the bluetooth on the computer or made the keyboard 'unselected' by bluetooth to allow the keyboard to be free to be selected and paired by the iPad.
    Thanks for you help on this.

  • Pairing bluetooth keyboard with iPad

    After I installed the new iOS, my bluetooth keyboard won't work.  I have tried absolutely everything - powered everything off, reset all settings, tried re-pairing, with no luck.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    This is so frustrating.  Well, since it's Cyber Monday, I guess I will be ordering a new one..... 

  • HT4976 Trying to use Emoji with Ipad 2 paired with Kensington Keyfolio keyboard

    I have ipad 2 with Kensington Keyfolio keyboard.  Emoji will not display when the keyboard is connected.  It works when I disconnect the keyboard and use the touch keyboard.  Is Emoji not supported using the Keyfolio keyboard?

    IMHO, forget about doing any meaningful Excel work an iPad unless you want to be a slave and spend 3-4 times the amount of time it would take to do inputs on a normal computer.  Now, IF there was mouse support, then it might be worth the effort.  I tried it and gave up.

  • HT4111 Does anyone know how I can restore spell correct, auto correct and auto cap which was lost when I paired my Apple Bluetooth keyboard with my iPAD3?

    Lost AUTO CORRECT, AUTO CAP and SPELLING CHECK after connecting my Apple Bluetooth keyboard to my iPAD3, updated to iOS 6.1.3, didn't I?. The lost features are in the on  position in settings, aren't they? Anybody out there with a remedy?

    Read this ASC discussion that I found by using Google. I don't know if you have seen and if you haven't, it's worth a look.
