Ipad 8 (22), Bluetooth pairing.

I cannot PAIR a Blue tooth speaker to my Ipad, when I first tried Ipad pairing, item ID appeared in available list, selected, ipad stopped search, then nothing, NO ID, tried rebooting, switching bluetooth on/off, search timed out, several times, appears to be lost in the ether.

It connects with my wife's andriod phone, no problem, not what she wants.

Any step by step help appreciated.

You’ll need to check the Bluetooth Speaker’s pairing instructions. If already paired to another device, you may need to reset the Speaker’s Bluetooth connection before it can be paired with your iPad.


If you can’t find the documentation for the Speaker, try the manufacturer’s website.


Instructions for your iPad can be found here:
