im not sure what your setting on the bluetooh are but once the ipad and the keybaord are conneted it desnt need to be reconnected. when the ipad goes to sleep so does the keyboard when you wake the ipad you should just have to tap any key and the keyboard will also wake up just takes a sec or two. no need to turn the keyboard off each time. hope this helps.

I am experiencing the same thing but, sadly, I have not found a work around other than to restart my iPad and re-sync the keyboard. Thankfully, both happen pretty quickly so I don't see it as that big an inconvenience.

When you wake it. It has a small lag of 2 secs or so. Type a few letters and it should pick up. I've never had to reconnect it since I got it. Hope that helps.

That's not happened to me Amee. I don't turn off the keyboard therefore it's always on, I'm assuming it's at rest as well as when the ipad air goes into sleep/hibernate mode. Once I activate it again, the keyboard automatically syncs. Perhaps you should try contacting the manufacturer or the place where you bought it. Sorry for your problem. Still, I would like to know what they say about your issue when they help you problem solve.

Have you made sure your iPad has the Bluetooth feature turned on (found in settings), and have the keyboard's on/off switch set to on?

I may not have responded correctly to your question. So let me try another answer. If you do have the Bluetooth option on your iPad and it is not syncing or showing the keyboard, make sure your keyboard is charged and on. Also, I'm not sure what the small button located along the top and in the middle of the keyboard does, but I pushed it the first time I tried syncing. Once my keyboard was charged and on, Bluetooth picked it up.

Try resetting your iPad, and if that doesn't work, it the square button in the top left corner a few times. Maybe it's stuck? Verify your keyboard is charged completely as well. I've seen rechargable devices do some weird things when they are almost out of juice. Other than that, try contacting Logitech?

I have this keyboard, just updated to iOS 7.1 last night, and now keyboard will not pair. Anyone know any tricks? 4th gen iPad with retina.

I've had the same issue. I started turning off the keyboard when not in use and it reconnects when I turn it back on. That's definitely not the best solution but it has worked ok for me. I don't know if you we're having the same exact issue, mine typically did this after it was dormant a minute or so.

When I first used the machine and updated it to 8.1 I had some problems, briefly. If you leave the machine in "Airplane Mode" they keyboard will not work. Have you charged the keyboard? Tether the keyboard to the PC with the included usb cable to charge the keyboard and charge it regularly when you charge the PC and it should be fine. I will assume you have the keyboard turned on.

Depends on what you're saying goes to sleep... The iPad? No, haven't seen that happen just because I've closed the cover. Nor have I seen the keyboard go to sleep either.

Be sure your bluetooth is turned on for both the Ipad and the keyboard. The keyboard switch is in the top right corner. If both are turned on and it still is not working then contact customer service to obtain a new device. The customer service people are very helpful and easy to work with. My first keyboard had some letters that did not work and they immediately sent me a new keyboard. I've had my second keyboard for about a year now and haven't had any problems.

I had the same problem. Fixed to using the following steps1. To to Bluetooth settings and forget the keyboard2. Turn off Bluetooth3. Shut down and restart the iPad4. Turn on Bluetooth and pair the keyboard.

Just got mine for an ipad mini (retina) and the display wakes/sleeps when I close the cover.It does not seem to be the folding tab that does it, but something in the keyboard/cover part itself.I tested with just the keyboard and it did not activate. Then I tried the cover without the keyboard.The magnets in the cover would activate the ipad when it was within a quarter inch of the glass (did not have to actually touch the screen)This is about the thickness of the keyboard so that that's why it works when it is in place.

It could be that the keyboard needs to be charged. Yesterday I had the same problem, after I charged the keyboard it connected again with no problem.

Hi KathySleep mode are you speaking about your computer? Keyboard has no sleep mode. If this your computer that's a sleep just click your mouse or any key on the board. It should wake up.

I do it all of the time! Especially when my keyboard quit syncing to my iPad. No fears, though, they sent me a new one!!

I'm sorry i had the same problem and the keyboard i never got to work.. i really liked the product but not able to use it correctly.

shut down both of them and restart that should work. also in your bluettooth setting of iPad, you should see the ultrathin keyboard Folio i5, and the status has to be connected.

I am considering buying this, and I had my iPad Air attached to a friend's folio keyboard last night. As far as I could tell, the sleep function seems to function the way it's supposed to. The only times it didn't work were when I didn't have the 2 'upper' corners of the iPad clipped in to the folio correctly. Once it was clipped in, the iPad screen remained dimmed. I tested this repeatedly, and was looking into the gap between the keyboard and the screen to verify it stayed dark, and that it lit again when I separated the keyboard from the iPad screen.
