bluetooth keyboard not working when prompted for wifi splash screen io7

I had that at first using aBelkin keyboard and on the keyboard then clicked on to bring the onboard keyboard up and now works. Not sure if you have this possibility oin your Apple keyboard. Hope this helps.

Yes, I can confirm this issue. I have a Belkin iPad Bluetooth Keyboard Case.

Keyboard Folio Model #: F5L114

After updating my iPad to iOS7 the only keystroke/button that works is the "Keyboard" button which will toggle the on screen keyboard on and off. Attempting to repair the keyboard accomplished nothing, however I did learn that when prompted to enter the bluetooth 4 digit code for pairing the keyboard was able to send the 4 numerical digits and striking the return key did succesfully pair the keyboard to the iPad again.

At this time I have no soltution to getting the keyboard to be responsive with the iPad. If anyone has a solution for this please speak up, if not Apple please help- The Belkin "Customer Support" pages/contacts are horrible for this. There is no assistance to be had at Belkin at this time.

Have you gone into settings, Bluetooth and where it shows your keyboard and then removed it and started again by getting bluetooth to find it and then put in the password to see if that works?

Thank for showing interest in my situation and trying to answer, however yes...

FROM ABOVE: "Attempting to repair the keyboard accomplished nothing, however I did learn that when prompted to enter the bluetooth 4 digit code for pairing the keyboard was able to send the 4 numerical digits and striking the return key did succesfully pair the keyboard to the iPad again."

I'm going to try "Forgetting the Device", turning off the Bluetooth Keyboard, Turning off the iPad 2 iOS7, Turning the iPad 2 iOS7 back on, Turning the Bluetooth Keyboard back on, then setting it up via the Bluetooth menu again. Doubt turning off the iPad will accomplish much, but it will be good to have it scratched off the list.

I have the same problem. And no amount of forgetting and re-pairing the keyboard helps.

This is definitely an iOS7 issue with certain keyboard brands I suppose. I use a Zagg B21W.

I too have the same issue with the Belkin bluetooth keyboard. What is strange though is that I am able to do keyboard entry with Safari, but no other third party apps or iOS app. I will check this thread again and post if I have success.

Solved - Simply turned the iPad off and then turned it on again. Keyboard is fine after reconnecting after restart.

Still doesn't work, I have a Apple Bluetooth keyboard. Tried forgetting the device and reconnecting but keyboard still does not work. Ideas?

I agree this must be a bug. However, I was able to get my bluetooth keyboard (Zagg) to work again after turning on the keyboard, then turning on bluetooth, and then hitting the pair button. I am happy my keyboard is back. I hope this works for you.

I also have this issue and I have taken all of the steps mentioned here with my iPad 2. The only difrence is i'm using an iHome bluetooth keyboard that worked beautifully in iOS 6.1.3 with the splash screen login's. I'm 99.99% sure after reading this forum it's an iOS 7 issue, though otherwise from this i haven't had major issues with the upgrade.

For the Zagg keyboard this only got fixed after iOS 7.0.2 upgrade.

Even with the 7.0.2 update, i am still getting the same results. Though I can now hit certian keys on the keyboard and they work, it just won't accept input from basic keys like the letter number and symbols or the key that would engage the on screen keyboard. But the home button and volume control on the keyboard work no problems.

Hi all - i am writing to you from the Folio Belkin keyboard here and now - i had the same issue after upgrading to the IO7 and is now a thing of the past - to reboot your ipad what has to be done - i pushed and held the off button and the same time i pushed and held the start button - this brings up the "Half eaten Apple" emblem on my screen - and the real "restart" happens - perhaps some of you people are not really "rebooting" your ipad, but only turning it off then on again. . . .??? just a thought. . .

Best regards

After seeing DennisfromGrc's post, I tried the power & start button at the same, but it didn't work. I then just held the power button down until a msg on the screen asked me to 'slide' the red message to shut down the iPad, which I did, and it shut down completely. After waiting a minute, I powered it back on and went to the settings screen. I selected bluetooth, and it showed the keyboard not connected. I then pressed the 'sync' button on the keyboard and selected the keyboard on the iPad. It connected and the keyboard has worked ever since. From previous posts, I'm guessing that even if you're running the most current iOS version(I had 7.0.2), that a 'hard boot' of the iPad is suggested in order to ensure full capability after any iOS update. Thx, Dennis, for giving me a good starting point to get things working again!
