Will my apple desktop keyboard work on my ipad as well?

will my apple desktop keyboard work on ipad 2 as well?

Hi, I think so, I connected an apple wireless/bluetooth keyboard to mine once, it worked, but it wasnt worth it. Once I connected it I used it for a little bit, when i was done, i had to go through the hustle of trying to reconnect it back to my mac. Does it work :Yes. Is it worth it : No.

  • 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.

  • Will a Palm portable keyboard work with iPad?

    I have a portable Palm keyboard that I use with a Palm TX. I want to know if it will work with an iPad, Does anyone know? Thanks

    Palm has made a number of wireless keyboards and not all of them were even compatible with all of the different models of Palm handhelds. Different model keyboards required different drivers based on the OS version of the handheld. The one you have may well workwith an iPad or it may not, you will need to try. But I would not get my hopes up.
    I can tell you that the Apple BT keyboard works a treat with my iPad 2 and the two look smart together.

  • TS2634 why will my charging cable not work on my ipad?

    Why will my charging cable not work on my ipad?

    Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. WHen you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot then try again.
    Try unplugging/replugging the cable. I can't tell if you have a lightning or older 30 pin cable, but if you have the 30 pin one it can look like it's in but not be making a total connection.
    Look in the port, do you see any dust or lint? THat can mess with the connection.
    Are you trying to charge via USB or plugged into the wall? It's best charged plugged into the wall with its supplied power block.

  • Would Microsoft's surface keyboard work with the ipad air ?

    Hi, I know that this might be deemed as stupid but I am just curious: Would Microsoft's surface keyboard work with the ipad air ?
    Is the surface keyboard bluetooth enabled ? If so, then it should work, right?

    No, it would not. The Surface is optimized and uses a different operating system than iOS7.
    I'm pretty sure that both the Surface and iPad Air can use Bluetooth; but Bluetooth peripherals might or might not be recognized.

  • Apple wireless Keyboard work in XP?

    I am weighing up getting a MBP to use as a replacement for my PC.
    I am thinking of using Bootcamp to boot the MBP into windows XP but I also have a wireless OSX keyboard (old style not thenewer thing ones)
    Will this work ok on Windows XP?
    I have thought of parallels or VMware, but have heard that some soundcards/drivers etc dont work properly so maybe its best that I do bootcamp and use the macbook as a pc
    Thanks

    As an owner of a Mac Book Pro and Mac Pro I can attest to and confirm that the Apple Mighty Wireless keyboard works perfectly in Windows XP SP2+. However, the Mighty Wireless mouse is another story, atleast for me.

  • TS4494 Do you know if the Apple wireless keyboard work on windows 8??

    I'd like to introduce my cousin to the apple world giving him as a birthday present an apple wireles keyboard, but he uses windows 8 on his laptop. Does anyone knows if it is compatible ?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It's compatible, but it won't work as expected. The function keys for brightness and volume won't work, as they are designed to work with Macs.
    Another possibility you have is to download the Boot Camp support software from the Apple website, decompress it, look for the Wireless Keyboard driver and install it. However, this shouldn't be needed because you shouldn't have any different problem than the function keys

  • 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.

  • Why won't my Apple Bluetooth keyboard hair with my iPad?

    I have an iPad 3 and a silver Bluetooth Apple keyboard and it is always very difficult to pair them together anyone have any ideas? 
    It's very frustrating and I will buy a different keyboard if I need to?  I waste a lot of time simply trying to pair, instead of getting work completed.
    I love Apple products very much, this is an ongoing issue however.
    Thanks for any thoughts!

    Try cycling power on the keyboard when doing the pairing.

  • Can't get Apple bluetooth keyboard to pair with iPad mini.  It pairs okay with my Touch.

    Is there a problem with the new operating system on the iPad that keeps the Apple bluetooth keyboard from pairing?
