iOS7 iPad Belkin Keyboard - Not Working

One more solution if all others above-mentioned haven't helped you out:

Holding either of these key combinations for more than five (5) seconds will clear the memory slot and you will have to pair the keyboard again with a device.

Fn + 1 (Blue)

Fn + 2 (Purple)

I suppose this enables Belkin to well 'forget' you device and re-connect it.

I solved my Belkin keyboatd issue by pressing fn and the delete key at same time.

It instantly cleared the keyboard and it then showed on ipad as discoverable.

Oh nvm, I just rebooted my IPad and the keyboard worked. Give it a try.

Thanks everybody! I had tried 2 different bluetooth keyboards. Amazing that it never occurred to me to simply reboot! HA!!! :-)

I too had the same problem. no matter how hard I tried my Belkin Keyboard would not connect to my iPad. it would attempt to connect but the pairing would always be unsuccessful. i tried everything, re-booted my ipad, turned my ipad on and off, turned bluetooth on and off, etc. NOTHING worked. I read all these articles blaming Apple and the iOS7 upgrades and Belkin but eventually I found the below instructions online that sorted everything and now it works perfectly.

Here are the instruction on how to pair your keyboard with your ipad:

1. Go to the Home screen on your iPad and tap on “Settings > General > Bluetooth.”

2. Turn Bluetooth to “On.”

3. Turn on the keyboard and press and hold the “pair” key.

4. The Status LED will flash blue on the keyboard and the keyboard will show up under “Devices” on the

tablet. Select “Belkin Bluetooth Keyboard.”

5. A code will appear on the iPad screen. Enter this code followed by the “Enter” key using the keyboard.

6. When pairing is complete, the iPad will notify you that the pairing was successful. The keyboard will then be

paired to your iPad.

7. If after 60 seconds pairing fails, you will have to repeat the steps above. You can view the status from the

screen of the iPad.

8. You can now use the keyboard to type onto your iPad.

iF iOS7 broke your keyboard, unfortunately it's up to Belkin to make their keyboard work with iOS7, not the other way around.

with the on screen keyboard people have had to go into the settings and reset all settings to clear up issues. And I had to re'pair my keyboard to my ipad, so you might try that. Tell your iPad to forget the keyboard, then re'pair it.

I have had this problem multiple times. I have found the Belkin Ultimate Keyboard to be very reliable, but over the course of a year or so have had to resist the Bluetooth connection to re-establish communication with my iPad Air2. Here's how I have done it with success each time.

You must Forget the Device on your iPad and then clear the Bluetooth memory slots on your Belkin. Please follow this link to see all of the steps and please follow each of the steps in sequence.

After you follow those steps, you can then go through pairing which is as simple as turning on Bluetooth on your iPad and pressing Fn and the Delete key on your Belkin with it physically connected to your iPad and selecting pair when it appears as a dialog box on your iPad.

I hope this helps someone.

Did you try to go into the settings and reset all settings?

I am also having this issue. My Belkin iPad keyboard / folio case was purchased in mid August. I followed the directions and it connected just fine and was working great until I updated the iPad to iOS 7. Now the keyboard will not connect or pair. A quick message pops up with the 4 didget code but then immedetly a message pops up saying "Pair Unsucessful - Make sure "Keyboard" is turned on and in range, and is ready to pair - OK."

I have tried re-booting the iPad and still this happens. having issues here and I blame the iOS 7 update.

Apple please advise.

I'm also having post ios7 update problems on iPad mini with Belkin Bluetooth keyboard. I went int settings and got the iPad to forget the keyboard. Now it won't pair. I get prompted to add a random 4 digit pin and press enter key on the keyboard then it fails to pair. This worked perfectly with ios6. Luckily still under warranty so I think I'll return the belkin keyboard. Unless someone knows how to fix it?????????

Thanks! This really helped me. At first i thought it wasn't working and then i realised that instead of using the actual number 1 or 2 you have to use which ever key the Bluetooth sign is next to it and highlighted in blue. It shouled look something like this:

Sorry its upside down and not that great quality but i hope it gets the message across.

Exact same thing with me

I am still having issues after restart and re-pairing
