In this video, we learn how to connect an Apple wireless keyboard to the iPad. This is great if you need to write something that requires a lot of typing. First, go to 'system preferences' then click on 'Bluetooth'. Once you're in this, make sure the 'discoverable' check box is not checked, then highlight your keyboard. In the bottom left hand corner click the minus sign, then click 'remove. Use the Apple Wireless Keyboard on your desk, on your lap, or anywhere within 33 feet of your Mac or iPad - thanks to Bluetooth connectivity. Its compact design with crisp, responsive keys takes up 24% less space on your desktop.

Apple Wireless Keyboard Connection
I didn't have to unpair from my MacBook Pro in order to pair with my New iPad, but I did have to power the MacBook Pro off (not just sleep it). The keyboard didn't show up reliably in the Bluetooth settings, and once it did, tappin on it resulted in a 'pairing failed' message a time or two, but eventually I got the message that the keyblard would like to pair with my iPad. I entered the 4-digit pairing code on the keyboard and it paired successfully. Then I started my MacBook Pro and the keyboard wouldn't work with it until I powered off the iPad and hit the power button on the keyboard. At that point it started working with the MacBook Pro. My keyboard now works with my MacBook Pro, my older MacBook, or my New iPad, seemingly depending on which one it finds first when I power it up. Of course if I'm only in range of one of them, that's the one it will pair with - but it 'remembers' all three; I don't have to enter any codes.
