Problems with connecting remote keyboard to ipad2

Make sure the keyboard is not currently paired with another device.

It has never been used with another device?

And if you go into Bluetooth on your iPad it does not see the BT keyboard?

I also have this problem. Have used the remote keyboard for more than a year with no problems; today it simply won't connect. Put in new batteries, which it probably didn't need. The iPad says it sees the keyboard but doesn't give me the four-number key and also has a screen message saying the keyboard may not be in range. (It's two inches away from the iPad.)

I'm stuck.

The iPad screen tells me to make sure the keyboard is turned on (it is), is in range (it is), and is ready to be paired. I don't know what that third instruction means. How can the keyboard not be ready if it's on and in range?

it needs to be in dicovery mode. You may not remember, but you did that when you first hooked it up. if you cannot remember how, google the keyboard manufacturer and look for the owners manual.

Thank you. It's an Apple keyboard, if that makes a difference.

Can't find a "discovery" mode for this Apple keyboard. I've tried everything I can think of. I've struck out.

Thank you for the suggestions, Texas Mac Man. I tried all of them. Nothing worked. Took the keyboard to a nearby Apple store and as soon as I walked into the store, the keyboard worked properly. Got back home ... won't pair. Nothing. No blinking light. The keyboard is turned on ... the light shines steadily for a couple of seconds, then it shuts itself off. Went back to the store ... the keyboard worked perfectly. Got back home. It won't work at all. The tech thinks the keyboard is faulty and should be replaced. I'm wondering if something in my house is messing up the Bluetooth signal.

Have you ever paired this keyboard with another device in your house?

I never tried until the pairing problem developed just two days ago. Now the keyboard doesn't want to pair with either my iPad or MacBook while the keyboard is in my home. 😕

So what changed in the past two days?

So I take it you took the MacBook and keyboard to the Apple Store and they paired?

Yes, that's mostly correct. Have used this keyboard with no problems of any kind for more than a year. In the store during my second visit, the keyboard properly paired with the iPad several times but also failed once or twice, which caused the technician to say that something was wrong with the keyboard (not the iPad), and that I should buy a new keyboard -- or live with it working sporadically. Came back home and again, nothing. Ze-ro. Can't get the blinking light (except when I'm in the store). And this is with batteries fresh out of the pack. This is why I think something's going on with Bluetooth in my house.
