ipad cannot discover my keyboard

1. Configure iPad for BT device discovery.

2. Power off the BT keyboard and then power it back on.

The iPad should discover it and display a 5-digit number. Enter this number using the keyboard and pairing should succeed.

I am confused about your question. You imply they paired but but they are not paired.

If your wireless keyboard is still connected to your iPad, or if another wireless keyboard has paired with your iPad, you may find that your software keyboard does not show up when expected. Tapping the eject key on the wireless keyboard should solve the issue. If not, try these steps. If it does not appear, and ejecting your wireless keyboard does not allow the software keyboard to appear, try unpairing the device by navigating to Settings > General > Bluetooth > Forget this Device. You might also try powering down the wireless keyboard that is causing the interference. If neither of these solutions work, try disabling Bluetooth by navigating to Setting > General > Network > Bluetooth.

I just had the same problem. I found that the keyboard was pairing with my macbook pro. I turned the bluetooth off on the laptop and while the ipad was in discovery mode I turned the keyboard off by holding the power button until it shut off then turned it back on. It immediately found the keyboard and then prompted me to type a number on the keyboard and hit enter to pair it. Worked!

How do you Configure the iPad's BT device discovery mode? The ipad's discovery/search mode is performing a blank search mode and will not discover my macbook pro or in fact anything however reversing the search mode from my mac to discovering the ipad's bt is fine..... i don't get it...help?

Thank you IIIAASS, but im ipad does permit pairing with my macbook and little ****** nokia fone which i find that very unusual, what im after is the bt discovery mode (display screen) does not display found units with in range....why & how can i fix it?

cheers

Try unpairing from the computer before attempting to pair with the iPad.

Is it the white keyboard you have?

It doesn't work with the old Apple keyboard, maybe Apple will fix it sometime later....

Am having the same problem, trying new batteries, etc., without any luck. Any other advice??

The bluetooth profiles supported by the iPad do not permit pairing with a computer or iPhone (except maybe for playing multiplayer games).
