I've just bought a new iPad4 but can't pair with any device via Bluetooth. I've tried to pair with my 4S, my son's 5, my Mac Pro and my original iPad. I also can't pair with a new Sharon Bluetooth keyboard although this keyboard will pair and works well with all of the above Apple devices.

Do I need to do something differently with the IPad4 ? I've enabled everything I can find. Has anyone else had a problem? Can anyone help, please?

I have tried finding the Sharon support site with no luck, I have a Logitech bluetooth keyboard that works fine with my iPad4. Do you have a URL for Sharon support?

I guess I don't understand....
Why would you try to Bluetooth pair your iPad with an iPhone or MacPro?
Not even possible as far as I know.

Your keyboard should work fine though...
I've paired with 2 different keyboards and 2 different BT speakers no problem.......shows up in the BT menu and you select pair.
You sure you have the KB is discovery mode?

Thats what I could not understand from the post, if the keyboard is said to work with an iPad it should pair up as you posted.
