I'm trying to connect a Kay SG to my iPad, so I can learn to play guitar, but I hear nothing from the guitar on any of my apps. What am I doing wrong?

This model is my second guitar connect. The first model gave me similar results to what your experiencing. I contacted the company and their tech trouble shot with me in vain, and then sent me a new cable, promptly.

What's a Kay SG? A guitar I presume? Check the volume output of the instrument, then check the settings of the apps, as there is often a setting in them that will let you hear the music as you play it, and by default that may be set to off. It's most probably app specific, your problem, and I would go to the developers of those apps as they probably have a forum you can get help from.

It all depends on what program you are using. I purchased the garage band app, which is awesome. But i did come across the issue you are asking about, and in the Garage Band app, you have to turn on the monitor to hear yourself play. The ishred app that you get for free with the cable doesnt have too many options so i deleted it. Any more questions feel free to ask. But if the monitor function is on, and u still have no sound, then the cable may be bad.

U may want to check what app u are using. Additionally, check the connector on your guitar and make sure it isn't loose. As a last measure make sure the battery in your guitar, if it requires one, is good. Also make sure u have headphones plugged in to the cord or I won't hear anything. If that all fails, test the cord out some other way with another device ....the cord could possibly be defective. Mine worked wonderfully tho.

If your using garage band make sure to go on the input setting and turn on monitoring so you can hear yourself, double check your connections and check your volumes

Are you asking about the audio connection or just hanging it on the iPad? Either should work.

I connect my Ipad and play any file from iPad. I think you need a player because hard drive will not play any file for you.

I have had no issues connecting, after initial setup the keyboard turns on automatically when in connect the side magnets of the iPad just past the row of function keys (a blue light above the delete key indicates the keyboard is active and connected)

There are plenty of apps out there that will allow you to play a song and jam with it with a plugged in instrument. I have used Amplitube (which I hate, loathe and despise, but that's because everytime they update it, they make it less usable). A little research on apps, and various cables would help you. I've given you one app already. With an assumption you want to use a guitar, here's the guitar cable that I use Griffin Technology GuitarConnect Cable for iPhone, iPod, and iPad I have two of them. Don't use the IK Multimedia ones, they are garbage. There are plenty of apps out there that will allow you to play a song and jam with it with a plugged in instrument.

Alright, I cannot get my iPhone to connect to my amp. I've tried running an ethernet cable from my D-Link wifi router to my amp and connecting to that router with my phone via wifi with security on, security off, MAC on, MAC off, amp connected to my gigabit switch, everything! I'm able to connect to it via my MacBook Pro to adjust the Net Radio channels and play Net Radio, but every time I run the iControl app I get, Network Error Please check your product Connection Status AVR : ERROR BDP: --- (Error Code : B27102) There is nothing on the Pioneer website or the app store to address my problem, or anywhere else on the net. Am I missing something?

It doesn't always connect....I've simply reconnected on such occasions and it would then show the music files...my data source has always been an iPad if that helps clarify the matter for you. Good Luck....

Did you charge the keyboard? The connections is easy. I charged the keyboard for a couple of hours the first time, then i turn it on, went to settings, turn on Blutooth, the Ipad began to scan for bluetooth connections, the "Bluetooth Keyboard" appears, type the password and it's ready to work. When you are not using it for a long time, you just have to push down any key for a couple of seconds and it connects automaticly. Good Luck!

I paired with my ipad2 but it doesn't play properly with any of the three docks I've tried.

I tried to pair both my computer and phone with the Sir Ikes at the same time. I connected the computer first, which worked. I then connected the phone. Despite the fact that the phone said it was "connected", I could only hear the music from the computer. The phone's youtube video was only playing from the phone's speaker. So, it looks like it's a "no".

I have the same problem. This item is advertised as being compatible with IPADs and I assumed all of them. Big disappointment!

Same problem here. Recorded 3 songs, did an ISO upgrade, now nothing. Currently running Ipad 2 iOS 8.4.1. I do believe I have a 100$ paper weight. I'll stick this thing next to my other computer trash in hopes someone comes up with a clever fix someday.

Hi Doug, Let me start by saying I am a keyboard player and own several IK Multimedia products. The Total Workstation XL Bundle for PC, Sampletank, iGrand and iLectric Pianos for IOS, and iRig Pre for IOS. I have an extensive collection of virtual instruments and I'm very impressed with all of these products. I did try iRig MIDI and here are two issues I found. First; I need to use 2 keyboards in my live setup. I took a standard 5 pin MIDI cable out of one keyboard and into the MIDI input of the second keyboard. I then used the supplied iRig MIDI to MINI plug and connected the iRig MIDI to my iPad. I should have been able to set each keyboard for a different MIDI channel and trigger the sound set up on that MIDI channel in Sampletank for IOS. However, it would only allow me to use one keyboard, or input source, on only one MIDI channel at a time. Using a standard USB 'printer style' cable out of the second keyboard to the iPad Camera Connection kit(plugged into the iPad) solved this problem. I am mentioning this in case you might have two different trigger sources which you need to set to two different MIDI channels. This could be an issue. Which brings me to the second issue; there were supposed to be 2 of the special iRig MIDI to MINI cables which interface with iRig MIDI and 1 USB cable to connect to a USB power supply(which is not included). Problem was that they included 2 USB cables and only 1 special MIDI cable in the box. If I recall correctly there were @ 7 out of 11 reviewers that received the wrong cables, as I did. My best advice is to pick one up and give it a try to see if it will satisfy your needs. But I just wanted you to be aware of a couple of issues which might possibly affect it's overall performance.

Hi Julee, I agree with the previous comments. You have to 'pair' the ipad and the keyboard together. Here are some instructions from apple. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4111

Hi. If you have an Ipad 1, 2 or 3, you don't need another adapter. But If you have an iPad 4 or the new IPad Air you'll need Apple's 30 pin to lightning adapter to be able to connect Yamaha midi interface to your iPad. The interface also includes two midi cables so you can connect to your keyboard.

I turned both on. Then I went to set up in my iPad. Then I pushed Bluetooth on my iPad. When it recognize the headphone, I tapped it And they connected.

Make sure the Bluetooth on both devices is on. You should see the keyboard as an option in the Bluetooth menu. Select it and the iPad should ask if you want to connect.
