Have you made sure your iPad has the Bluetooth feature turned on (found in settings), and have the keyboard's on/off switch set to on?

First what generation iPad do you have? Turn on your keyboard (when the blue light is on, it is in discoverable mode). Go to settings on your iPad and click on Bluetooth - does your iPad "see" your new keyboard?If it does, the name of the keyboard will show up on your iPad. Just follow the prompts your iPad gives you.

make sure the Bluetooth option is turned on on your iPad. also did you charge the keyboard at all?

Turn on bluetooth on the ipad and it will find your keyboard. The is for the ipad mini only

Turn on the keyboard. There is a slider switch on the right hand side near the back. Go to the iPad Settings under Bluetooth and turn it on (this is a bluetooth keyboard). It should find the keyboard right away. Enjoy!

the keyboard is Bluetooth. you charge up the on-board battery in the keyboard and then switch the power on the keyboard. then you verify that you have the Bluetooth option on your ipad enabled and the Ipad should sync with the keyboard.

You'll need to charge the keyboard first. Mine came with very little charge. Once you've done that, there's a little switch on the side that's a power switch. Flip it on and then press the connect button. The indicator light should start to flash and that's how you know it's ready to be paired. Then go to settings on your iPad and enable bluetooth if it's not already on. When you see "Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard" come up in the list of devices, click on it and wait for a little window to pop up. The window will ask you to enter the 4-digit code using the keyboard, then hit the enter button on the keyboard. It should then finish the pairing process on it's own. As far as I know it works with all iPads including first generations (though I'm not sure about the mini), so pairing shouldn't be a problem.

Jim, make sure the keypad is charged. Snap the iPad in place and pull the keypad into position just before the keys. On the right side you can see the charger hole. The is a tiny pushbutton. Press it! It should blink blue. One it connects it will go to solid green and will eventually go out. I did have to activate BlueTooth on my iPad! Hope this works for you!

Hi Julee, I agree with the previous comments. You have to 'pair' the ipad and the keyboard together. Here are some instructions from apple. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4111

Make sure you keyboard is charged, turn it on, hold the Bluetooth button on keyboard (I think you might have to hold it for ten seconds) and connect it on your iPad under settings and blue tooth and select discover debices

Don't know if this is going to help or not. I dont remember getting a manual. All I did was make sure the keyboard was charged up, then go into settings on my iPad, then Bluetooth, make sure Bluetooth is on and find/connect the keyboard. Good luck

Try re-adding the keyboard to the tablets Bluetooth devices. It might give you the code then.

Have you charged it? The keyboard has to be charged first. Then once it's charged, on the side there is a small (you can barely feel it) switch. Make sure your ipad is set to bluetooth.

The bottom of the keyboard says it's for tablets and the iPad. I tried it with my MacBook and even though the batteries were relatively fresh, the MacBook and keyboard never could seem to connect via Bluetooth.

Try using alt+n n and alt+e a/e/i/o/u respectively. It works when using a US Apple keyboard with the iPad.

Make sure it's connected. Go to bluetooth settings and make sure it's on. You may have to hit the pair button on your keyboard. I've had this happen to me once before when the pairing was interrupted (no idea why, but it only happened once in 7 months of use so I'm not worried about it).

it connects through bluetooth. use your system preferences and select bluetooth devices. make sure your keyboard is turned on. to physically connect it to your iPad, then just fit the iPad horizontally into the slot provided just above the keys. hope that this helps.

If you connect the keyboard by Bluetooth everything should be active. Charge it then try to connect to it by Bluetooth, if that still does not work then you have a defective unit. It happens.
