I Would like to pair my iPad Air 2 via Bluetooth with the Logitech MX Anywhere 2 mouse. The Bluetooth page shows the iPad as being connected to the mouse but then the cursor doesn't appear on the screen. What do I do? Thanks.
iPad Air, iOS 9.2.1
NO mice work on Apple iDevices and iOS.
There is no physical pointer/cursor programmed into iOS for an external mouse or trackpad input device to navigate on screen.
Your fingers are your mouse input device.
iOS has an insertion point "I" beam cursor that can now controlled by invoking the iOS software keyboard and then do a two-finger single tap to tirn the entire software keyboard area into a giant trackpad.
If you useb two-finger double tap within the keyboard area, you can highlight words, lines of text or entire paragraphs for editing.
Sorry.

Hi MichaelPM - thank you very much for your comprehensive response. It's a shame that's the case as mouse compatibility has the potential to make it ads much more desirable. I'd bought the mouse specifically for this reason but have found other uses for it like pairing it with my android phone - it works like a charm! Thanks once again for your help.
