What, exactly, are you attempting to do? The iPad does not have the BT profile necessary to connect to a computer. There are some apps in the app store that will let you do file transfer over BT.

Thank you for that info I was at the time under the impression that my keyboard was wireless as it has no batteries but that is not the case therefore I cannot connect To Bluetooth , which does not worry me as I will use it wireless. I will do as you advise and go to the forum that covers my model. Thank you for all your assistance you were excellent. Regards Peter.

As your profile doesn't mention what model Mac you have, I really can't direct you.
