Apple Keyboard pairing with iPhone/iPad/iPad2

Punching away on the iPad on screen keyboard proves to be smooth and effortless, however those with shiny pink manicured nails or those using lots of symbols and special characters will find the keyboard quite limited. Not to mention the keyboard takes up nearly half the screen.

What you need? If you own an iMac, just use the same Keyboard. If you got one for your birthday, Happy Birthday! Else, you can easily get it from any authorized apple store.

Pairing the Bluetooth Wireless Mac Keyboard is super easy

Step 1: Turn on the keyboard.
- If it's new, go to step 2
- If you paired this before with iMac or other device, remove the battery, reinsert it and go to step 2

Step 2: In the iPad or any iOS, Go to > General > Bluetooth and turn it ON.
You will see the Apple Wireless Keyboard as "Not Paired"


Step 3: Tap on the Apple Wireless Keyboard to start the pairing process. a 4 digit PIN code will be prompted. Just key in the PIN code on the keyboard and press Enter.


DONE! You will see the Apple Wireless Keyboard labelled as Connected. 


Open up your favorite app and start typing. It is a whole new experience as the on screen keyboard is no longer popping up blocking screen real estates....


ENJOY!!!
