Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have changed the batteries on both the mouse and keyboard. The mouse will pair but not the keyboard. I have pressed and held a key but no help. I thought I had followed the instructions.
iPad, iOS 5.1.1

This support article may shed some light > Bluetooth: How to set up your Apple Wireless Keyboard
The first time I paired my Bluetooth keyboard with my iPad, it took turning off the keyboard then turning it back on a few times for success.
First make sure the batteries aren't dead and that the keyboard hasn't already been paired with another device. If it hasn't, the keyboard should pair automatically when you reboot. You may have to press and hold the power button on the right side of an Apple keyboard until the LED starts flashing.
Otherwise see these support articles:
Apple Wireless Keyboard: Difficulty during pairing process
If you have a third-party Bluetooth keyboard, you may need a wired keyboard to complete the pairing process. It's a good idea to keep a cheap wired keyboard and mouse or trackball as backups for a desktop Mac anyway, because Bluetooth isn't completely reliable.
