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.....

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?

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.

Trouble pairing bluetooth keyboard with mac mini

I bought a generic bluetooth keyboard and I am trying to use it with a Mac mini using 10.6.8. The bluetooth setup sees "Bluetooth Keyboard" and connects to it. I enter the passcode on the keyboard, but after about 25 seconds it says "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. This configuration of Mac OS X and Bluetooth software could be invalid or unsupported." If I watch the bluetooth control panel during this process, it says it is connected and paired as soon as I hit "return" but then disappears when I get the message. I already tried trashing com.apple.bluetooth.plist and restarting. I made sure nothing was on top of the Mac, and turned off the WiFi on my router, but nothing helps.

Update: I tried to pair with my bluetooth cell phone. If I initiate the connection from the Mac, same thing. However, I was able to successfully pair and download pictures, if I initiate from the phone. ???

Can't pair bluetooth keyboard with apple tv

just updated Apple tv and it can't discover my bluetooth keyboard

I wanted to use an older, unused Apple Bluetooth Extended keyboard (this one originally came with an iMac G5, white keys, clear casing) but it refused to pair. Several times, the Apple TV said "pairing" and spun the gear wheel for several seconds and then the keyboard just dropped out of the list on the TV screen. No pairing code was ever given. I then tried it with a newer aluminum short keyboard and it immediately game me a 4-digit pairing code and completed the pairing.
As a test, I successfully paired and un-paired the older keyboard with my Mac Mini. No problems, seemed to work fine. Then tried it again with the Apple TV. No joy.

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.

iPod touch User Guide (For iOS 4.3 Software)

I use an Apple bluetooth keyboard with my iPad. In messages I can't find a way to "send" a message without tapping on Send on the iPad's screen. I've tried every key and key combo that I can think of. Am I missing something?

I already have multiple devices and by far I like my iPad the most over laptops and the iPad. That including checking out my friends MacBook Air.
The difference for me is the touch interface on the screen itself for things that do not require a lot of typing. For me, the iPad is more "magical" than anything else I've used.
Again, I do appreciate your answers but you don't know my situation. Not everything is as it is perceived without knowing me and what I have to go through.

I'm working on trying to pair my bluetooth keyboard with the Mac. It seems to pair fine, I'm able to enter the code but when I go to click on "enter" it won't go. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

Pair bluetooth keyboard apple tv

I am trying to pair my apple bluetooth keyboard with apple tv. It has paired ok with ipad and iphone.
Not sure how useful the kb would be with atv but want to try it.
Thanks for any suggestions.

i've read and re-read the dinky little manual with no luck.
so I hit a bunch of function keys, and lo it became discoverable again.
so I did get paired.
The manual seems to assume you're always pairing with a mac with system preference under the apple logo.
It seems that each device has to be paired again after using another device. Is that correct?
If you can de-confuse me me, I wouls be most grateful.
Many thanks,
Bjh

First Generation Bluetooth Keyboard and iPad?

I have a first Generation Bluetooth Apple Keyboard (model A10160 that works fine with my newer iMac. I am trying to pair with iPad, the iPad locates the keyboard, but seem to want to pair.
Any thoughts or help?

Hi Mark,
Here is more info. Look at page 22 of the iPad manual:
Bluetooth
You can use iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard for wireless typing, or Bluetooth headphones for wireless listening.
Pairing Bluetooth Devices
You must first pair the keyboard or headphones with iPad before you can use them.
Pair a Bluetooth device with iPad:
Follow the instructions that came with the keyboard or headphones to make it discoverable.
In Settings, choose General > Bluetooth, and turn Bluetooth on.
Select the keyboard or headphones and if prompted, enter the passkey or PIN number. See the instructions about the passkey or PIN that came with your keyboard or headphones.
AC said it has to be 2007 keyboard or later. That is NOT what the manual says. Further, I told AC that the keyboard pairs fine with my Mini which was purchased earlier this year.
Keep in mind that your credit card company is on your side. I have a Genius Bar appointment Tuesday, April 6. I will ask them to give me a wireless keyboard. If they will not, my next call will be to American Express.

Can I use an iMac Bluetooth Keyboard with an iPad1 or iPad2?

Can I use an iMac Bluetooth Keyboard with an iPad1 or iPad2?
Do I need a keyboard that state's it is for ipad? Or can I use the Apple iMac Bluetooth keyboard for my ipad?
I don't see anywhere on the Apple iMac keybaord box that states it is compatible.
I find the 3rd party ipad keyboards to be flimsy in construction.
Thanks

Using bluetooth keyboard with iPad2

1]Is there any way to tell battery usage on iPad as there is on Mac?
2] Since on/off lite goes off quickly, how do know whether keyboard is on or off [except by touching key, which turns it on]?

sorry i guess im looking into buying a bluetooth keyboard and i assume that when you use a bluetooth keyboard with the ipad, depening on the manufactor of that keyboard, that the keyboard built in the ipad will pop up as well. so am i assuming wrong?

HT201178 hhow to set keyboard repeat rate to never on bluetooth keyboard and ipad mini

How can one set up an aluminum apple bluetooth keyboard with an ipad mini and adjust the key repeat rate to never?

public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
     if (e.getKeyCode() == 87)
          { //up
          sendToServer("m u");
          walkingDirection = 1;
          if (e.getKeyCode() == 83)
          { //down
          sendToServer("m d");
          walkingDirection = 5;
     if (e.getKeyCode() == 65)
          { //left
          sendToServer("m l");
          walkingDirection = 7;
          if (e.getKeyCode() == 68)
          { //right
          sendToServer("m r");
          walkingDirection = 3;
Problem is, I AM using the keypressed function, it still falls bck to the windows repeat rate for some reason.

My apple keyboard had some problems, the store replaced it for me. I had to sign in to my computer, and couldn't get to pair the keyboard with the computer, as could not sign in. I know there is a command that lets you override this, does anyone know whic

My apple keyboard had some problems, the store replaced it for me. I had to sign in to my computer, and couldn't get to pair the keyboard with the computer, as could not sign in. I know there is a command that lets you override this, does anyone know which buttons to press. I gather when you do this, a box comes up and pairs the two with a number you have to type in.
