Re: I have a keyboard for my Ipad,

Make sure that the keyboard is turned on.
Make sure that the keyboard and the iPad are connected (typically via Bluetooth).
Make sure that the keyboard is active (and not in an idle state).

Like SwitchBeach said, make sure they are connected via bluetooth.

You have to pair them manually from the settings at first.

Good luck! :)
