Hi all.

Here is the message I sent to accessibility re: my problem in pairing my iPad 
with my bluetooth keyboard. I'll let you know if they have information about 
this or probide a solution.


Message to accessibility

I am greatly enjoying my new iPad but I have encountered a problem that may be 
an accessibility issue though I am not actually sure what the cause of the 
problem is. I tried to pair my bluetooth keyboard with the iPad. The keyboard 
was readily recognized and I saw "not paired" for it. When I double-tapped on 
the "not paired" button (I'm using voiceover) it changed to "connecting" and 
nothing further happened even if I double-tapped this. Eventually the message 
would revert to "searching" and I would have to turn bluetooth off and back on 
on the keyboard to get it recognized again. I checked all over the screen of 
the iPad and could find no instructions and no password with which to finish 
the connection. However, if I hit enter or return on the keyboard when the 
"connecting" messagee was displayed, I immediately heard several tones and 
alerts, first giving me the password and telling me to enter this on the 
keyboard followed by enter or return, and then the message that my keyboard was 
unable to pair (not exact words) with an OK button. So the dilemma is this: the 
password doesn't show or speak in an accessible manner on the screen until I 
hit enter on the keyboard, and since hitting enter on the keyboard signals an 
attempt to enter a password, pairing fails and that password can't be used 
subsequently to attempt pairing. I haven't been able to get a sighted person to 
look at this yet to see whether the password is indeed displayed on the iPad 
screen before I hit enter. Hopefully I will have some sighted assistence in the 
late afternoon or this evening and can report further on this. Any help with 
this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Tia.
