Will an Apple wireless keyboard pair with an iPad2?

Is an Apple wireless keyboard designed to pair with an iPad 2?  The instruction book refers to a Mac computer but never to an iPad.  I keep getting the "Pairing Unsuccessful" message after I type in the 4 digit code that the iPad tells me to enter on the keyboard.  The keyboard gives me the flashing light saying it's ready to pair, but doesn't make the hook-up. The keyboard is just a foot from the iPad.  Any suggestions?

This might help.
Note the following:
The original Apple Wireless Keyboard, introduced in 2003, is not compatible:
Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003): Features a white case and uses four AA batteries.
In addition, many third-party Bluetooth keyboards that use the Apple keyboard layout are also compatible. Check with the keyboard manufacturer for additional information.

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard pairing delay

    Hi. I have a first generation Mac Mini with a D-Link DBT-120 (http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=0&pid=34) Bluetooth adapter and an Apple Wireless Keyboard. When I turn on the computer and I'm going to type my password, it take like 3-4 minutes for the computer to recognize the keyboard (I turn on the keyboard in the moment I turn on the computer). After that, the keyboard works perfectly. I would like to know if there's any way to make the pairing of the computer and the keyboard faster. I know it's probably just a detail but it's a bit annoying.
    Thanks.
    Santiago.

    I have a keyboard that I had previously (successfully) paired with my iPad 2.  I haven't used them together in a long time. 
    I have been trying to pair the last 1-2 days and have had no luck.  Most of the time the iPad doesn't detect the keyboard from the Bluetooth Settings.  Occasionally it will detect, but when I click it to pair it will take awhile and then simply alert "Pairing Unsuccessfull".
    The light on the keyboard indicates to me that it's paired (3 seconds of green and then off - as opposed to the flashing which indicates it's unpaired).  I put in fresh batteries.  I know it's working because I can turn on Caps Lock.
    Any ideas?  Any way to reset the keyboard so as to start more from scratch?  I don't have a PIN in my Apple keyboard manual.  If I recall correctly, last time the iPad asked me to enter a confirmation code on the keyboard and hit enter.
    I'll have to check out the pair of links (Using and Troubleshooting) but I think I've tried everything I found in them.
    My computer died and now I'm waiting for my new Macbook Pro.  Need my keyboard paired with my iPad to stem the tide!

  • Does the 1st generation apple wireless keyboard work with an iPad?

    Hi
    I want to get a keyboard for my iPad but I don't know if this one works with my iPad 2. Can someone help please??!!

    Should work just fine, I have a 1G Apple wireless keyboard and it connected just fine to my iPad 3.
    Any reason why you want to use a first generation Apple keyboard? They require 3 AA batteries and can drain them fairly fast. The second and present wireless keyboard only needs 2 AA's and the batteries last much longer. I use rechargeable batteries in my 2G keyboard as well and since my charger only charges batteries in pairs makes the 1G limited to alkaline batteries.

  • Can the apple wireless keyboard work with Apple TV

    I just set up my ATV and was wondering if it can recognize an apple wireless keyboard. If so, how would I set that up?

    No, this is not currently possible.
    If you have an iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad you could use Apple's Remote app.

  • Apple wireless keyboard OK with iPhone, but not iPad2

    My wireless keyboard types correct symbols on my iphone 5, but not on my iPad2.  It does type the correct letters, but most of the symbols (both when in "lower case" and caps lock) are different from what's on the keyboard.  How can I adjust my iPad2 so the keyboard types the correct symbols. Virtually all the **** numbers plus symbol keys type symbols different from what's on the keys, though most of the symbols are covered by some other keys.  It's just not feasible to go searching by typing 10 or 20 keys to find one symbol, and then not to know whether to use the Shift, Ctrol, Option or Command or maybe even fn and then which key to guess will get the symbol I need.
    Please advise.
    Thanks,

    Thanks for replying, very kind. I'm unable to log into my account.. As a guest, I'm not able to get access to any of my system preferences.
    I think my imac has accidentally paired with my new apple tv remote.. I bought apple tv yesterday, was very excited but now wish I hadn't connected it. I'm unable to work on my imac which is very problematic on a workday.
    How can I unpair the apple tv remote from my imac if I cannot get access to my system preferences to unpair any devices?

  • Is the Apple Wireless Keyboard fully compatible with Windows 7 in Boot Camp?

    If you have an iMac running Snow Leopard and Windows 7, will the Apple Wireless Keyboard work properly in Windows 7 (via Boot Camp)?
    I'm asking because a friend of mine has an Apple Wired Keyboard that they want to get rid of, and upgrade to an Apple Wireless Keyboard. However, their concern is that the Apple Wireless Keyboard won't work properly (or reliably) when they run Windows 7 on their iMac.

    I'm using an Apple Wireless Keyboard running Boot Camp and Windows 7 64 bit right now typing this.   Seems to run just fine under Windows 7 for me.  Some of the familiar Windows keyboard keys are not present, of course, though there are key mappings to get to those too.  I actually like this keyboard a lot, under Windows 7 or OS X.

  • Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard with Bootcamp and Win XP Pro 32-bit

    Does the Apple Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard work with Boot Camp running Windows XP Pro (32-Bit)... I read something leading me to believe there maybe a problem and you need to use a wired USB mouse/Keyboard.
    Is this true?

    Apple Wireless Keyboard is able to work in Boot Camp via Window XP Pro, it's good enough.
    but the Magic Mouse, it's not able to work completely in Window XP Pro,
    it's just work like a normal bluetooth wireless mouse,
    all the Multi-Touch features like scroll, rotate, swipe, pinch and tap click are not gonna work,
    even you are configure via the snow leopard, so please be reconsider.

  • Apple wireless keyboard not accessible in Bootcamp.

    Before I installed the Snow Leopard Boot Camp drivers in Windows 7, my Apple wireless keyboard worked with Windows. Not it no longer is recognized, and it gives an error message when I try to add it as a Bluetooth device. I know the keyboard is recognized by only a single macintosh computer at a time when running it with OSX.
    1. Has the installation of Boot Camp drivers made it similarly that the keyboard now "thinks" the Windows Boot Camp partition is a different computer?
    2. Is there any way to fix things so the keyboard is able to be used by both the Windows 7 and the OS X 10.6.1 partitions on this single computer? Thank you.
    Sincerely,
    Wilson

    Both the Apple Wireless Keyboard and the Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse can be setup to work properly under Boot Camp from OS X Snow Leopard running Windows 7 (x32 or x64). The way to get it to work is as follows:
    1. Turn off the device you wish to setup via Bluetooth
    2. Click on the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar and select the option to Add a Bluetooth Device.
    3. Power on the device you wish to setup via Bluetooth and wait until the Setup Bluetooth Device window recognizes the device.
    4. **Important** Do not Click on the Device and click Next, this will not work.
    5. Right-click on the device you wish to setup via Bluetooth in the Setup Bluetooth Device window and select properties.
    6. Wait until the Bluetooth Services window finishes checking for available services.
    7. Click the checkbox next to the HID Keyboards & Mice service.
    8. Wait for Windows to finish installing the device driver.
    9. Click OK on the Setup Bluetooth Device Window
    10. Close the Setup Bluetooth Device Window
    11. Congratuations, your device is now setup to work with Windows 7
    Hope this helps. I've tested it multiple times and it works. I can't take credit for the solution, it was posted elsewhere on these forums, but I can't for the life of me find the darn thread again.

  • I have 2 Apple Wireless Keyboards (old style, not flat) that will not pair.

    Hello.
    I own a MBpro, A Mac Pro, and a Mac Mini. I have 2 Apple Wireless Keyboards (the old style with the extended keyboard and transparent case with white keys). Neither keyboard will pair on any system.
    The Macs see one of the keyboards just fine but refuse to pair it when I type the 8-digit pass phrase and the return key. Also no luck if I try without a passkey. The other keyboard cannot even be detected by any system.
    Is this keyboard design just plain defective? This is the third one (there's also one at work) that refuses to pair. If I have to purchase another one, then this one will end up smashed on Apple's showroom floor. I've about had it with these things.
    Please help if you can.

    Hello Steve:
    I have not had a similar problem so I am fishing a bit. I think the problem is rooted in what I thought in my previous post.
    Now, how to fix it?
    Try this:
    Go to system preferences>bluetooth. Delete any KB entries there. Trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist). Be sure that on and discoverable are checked in the BT preference pane. Restart your computer.
    Hopefully, whatever KB you have turned on will be "discovered."

  • Trouble pairing Apple Wireless Keyboard with N95. Please help.

    I bought the new aluminium Apple Wireless Keyboard today and tried pairing it with my N95 (firmware v20.0.015) using the 'Wireless Keyboard" application but it refuses to connect!
    Would anyone be kind enough as to shed some light on this issue I'm experiencing?

    The process is quite simple:
    - Turn Bluetooth 'on' in your N95 - Settings\Connection\Bluetooth\On.
    - if your wireless keyboard is on, turn it off then on again. This will make it discoverable for 3 min.
    - go to 'Wlss.keybd' app on your N95....Menu\Office\Wlss.keybd and open it.
    - go to Option menu and select 'Find keyboard'. This will search for available bluetooth devices. Your keyboard name should show up here. When it does, you can press 'stop' so that the phone stops looking for additional devices.
    - select the keyboard from the list of found bluetooth devices. You will then go through a sequence of code inputs on both your phone and keyboard (just follow the prompts on the phone) which will 'pair' your keyboard to your phone.
    Hey presto, your phone should now be connected to your keyboard! Hope this works for you.
