Re: Can't pair keyboard to IPhone
Hi Shaun, A couple IOS versions ago I experienced a situation where I was unable to pair until I cleared out all items from the task switcher. Since then, when anything FUBARs, my initial step is to clear that puppy. Secondly, I believe the keyboard is only in pairing mode for a few seconds after powering up. You may want to remove the batteries so as to make certain of it's on/off state, press and hold the power button, and try pairing again to see if it appears in your list of available devices. Best regards.

Re: Can't pair keyboard to IPhone
Hi Shaun, One further suggestion to add to Geoff's excellent suggestions: you mention that the keyboard is the same one as you get with an iMac. Is it possible that your keyboard is still paired with an iMac or other computer or device? I mention this because if your Apple Wireless Keyboard is paired with another device, you won't be able to pair it with your iPhone. There was an instance where someone who was having difficulty pairing their keyboard to an iOS device, discovered that it was still paired to their Mac computer, two rooms away -- which they thought would be outside the active Bluetooth reception area. Just something else to check. HTH.

Re: Can't pair keyboard to IPhone
And also I will add! Just in case this is the situation! I was having the same trouble until I found out I was trying to pair the keyboard that is paired to my Imac! another flick showed me another keyboard and that was the one I needed to pair with! The first keyboard said the same thing as what you told us! So I told the Iphone to forget that keyboard and was just left with the one to pair with! hth Colin On 16 Mar 2012, at 13:36, Esther wrote: Hi Shaun, One further suggestion to add to Geoff's excellent suggestions: you mention that the keyboard is the same one as you get with an iMac.

Re: Can't pair keyboard to IPhone
I think it may depend on how old the IMac keyboard is. I know the the older model Apple keyboards are definitely not compatible with the I-Phone as the one I bought as a replacement came with the warning that it was not compatible with an I Pod or I Phone. Technically I think the keyboard needs to be HID compliant to work with the I Phone. I think the older keyboards are not HID. I forget the acronym but they are something like STC protocol. This works fine on the Mac but not the I Phone. If you have a modern HID keyboard then of course none of this applies. .

Re: Can't pair keyboard to IPhone
I finally got it to pair. took one or two swear words, a bit of patients, of which I had none, at that point, and it worked.
