I have an Ipad and an Ipod Touch 5th gen both on the latest firmwares but they won't connect via Bluetooth whenever I try even though both shows that the devices are discoverable. I also tried connecting them with my Bluetooth enabled laptop but it also didn't worked. Because of the Bluetooth not working I also can't enable airdrop.

What model iPad?
What model computer and OS version>
AirDrop requires:
What you need
To share content with AirDrop, both people need one of these devices using iOS 7 or later, or a Mac with OS X Yosemite:
iPhone 5 or later
iPad (4th generation or later)
iPad mini
iPod touch (5th generation)
You also need to turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. If you want to share with your contacts, sign in to your iCloud account.
Learn more about using AirDrop to share with people using a Mac with Yosemite.
Use AirDrop to wirelessly share content - Apple Support
System Requirements
To see if your Mac works with AirDrop, make sure you’re in the Finder by clicking the desktop (the background area of your screen), or by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock. Then, check to see if AirDrop is listed as an option in the Go menu. If you don't see AirDrop listed, your Mac doesn't support this feature.
In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
your iOS device needs to include a lightning connector
your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed
your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model with OS X Yosemite installed
Your Mac and iOS device both need bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. You do not have to be connected to a specific Wi-Fi network.
To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need the Mac models listed below with Wi-Fi turned on and OS X Lion or later installed.
MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*
iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
*The MacBook Pro (17-Inch Late 2008) and the white MacBook (Late 2008) do not support AirDrop.
For help identifying your Mac, choose About This Mac from the Apple menu. You can refer to the Apple Support website to find out if your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch includes a lightning connector.
Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices - Apple Support
Otherwise you need an app to pair via BT one iOS device to another iOS device. There may be apps that allow pairing with a Mac computer. The iOS devioces do not have the BT profiles necessary natively to pair with a computer or another iOS device except for AirDrop

  • I have two iPads and one iPod Touch and they are using iTunes on the same computer.

    I have two iPads and one iPod Touch and they are using iTunes on the same computer. I have not been able to backup the second iPad. Is there a reason this is happening? iPad one is an iPad 1 and the second is an iPad 2 not sure if this has something to do with it. I just tried to upgrade to IOS 5 and when it went to back up it gave me an error code (-5000). I tried to back up using iTunes and it told me that my backup was corrupted and to delete it and try to back up again. When I went into the device portion where I was instructed to go to delete the backup I found that there was no backup for my iPad just the iPad 1.
    I have synced many times and all of the apps, podcasts, music, etc... show up in iTunes, and iTunes recognizes that is is the second iPad but there is not a backup for it.
    Any Ideas?

  • How can I disable iCloud on my iMac and my iPod touch 5th gen?

    My ipod touch 5th gen now syncs through icloud. How can I disable icloud from my ipod and my imac and go back to syncing through iTunes.  Is it possible to do this without losing the data in contacts and ical?  Any ideas would be much appreciated!

    With the iPod connected to your computer go to the Summary pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck the box that says: Sync with this iPod over Wi-Fi.
    Also in the Summary pane check the box that says backup to the computer.

  • What are the differences between new and refurbed ipod touch 5th gen.?

    I'm about to purchase an ipod touch 5th generation, but I see there are some very nice units available from apple as refurbished. I was wondering what the differences are between the new (purchased today) and the refurbed (released sept. 2012)?

    The only difference is that a refurbished iPod has been used before (or at least was sold before) and remanufactured. There are no differences in functionality or cosmetics between a new iPod and a refurbished unit of the same model and capacity.
    Regards.

  • Just sent in daughter's Ipod touch 5th generation to be fixed....They sent me a new one....is there anyway to get the contents of her old one onto the new one?  I synced the old one with Itunes before I sent it in and backed it up on my computer.

    Sure, as soon as you open iTunes with the new iPod connected, it will have a "Welcome to your New iPod" screen. Just choose Restore from backup.

  • I have a song on iTunes on my pc and I have my music on my IPod touch 5th gen. Can I transfer my songs from my ipod to my pc or can I put my songs from my ipod on icloud if that is even possible?

    I Decide that I wanted to move my music from my iPod touch to iTunes on my pc but I can't there is no option for that only sync which says it will erase all my songs videos etc. so am I stuck like this or is there a way that I can move my music to iTunes

    If you bought the songs in iTunes, connect to your PC, open iTunes, right click on your iPod in the device list and choose "transfer purchases".

  • IOs 7.0.4, and my iPod Touch 5th gen has stopped recognizing the majority of my songs

    Hi,
    I recently updated my iPod to iOS 7.0.4 and when I went to play some songs in my iTunes library the music player would skip past most of the songs and remove them from my library. Sometimes this would happen across all the songs under an artist, however it would still display that I had 30+ songs available from the menu. I have tried resetting my iPod, but this didn't help.
    Any suggestions?

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

  • I have 2 ipads and 2 ipods am i able to facetime between my devices

    I have 2 ipads and 2 ipods am i able to facetime between my devices

    Yes, but each device will need to have their own individual e-mail addresses as their individual calling Id's.
    If you use the same calling ID for all of your units, it will be like dialing your own telephone number when you're using an ordinary telephone -- you get a busy signal and cannot connect.
    Please take a look at the following link.  It contains a posting I had made which will give you an explanation in greater detail.

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen w/iOS 7.0.2 - Delayed 'Passcode' Lock Entry Issue

    Hi,
    This evening I've updated my iPod Touch 5th Gen from iOS 6.1.3 to iOS 7.0.2 via the 'Over the Air' method, which went well initialy.
    Following using the device, upgrading all of the apps and performing a couple of backups to iCloud, I have noticed that there is an issue with entering of the 'Passcode Lock' code to unlock the device.  There is a 25 to 30 second delay in me pressing a digit key on the 'Unlock' screen and the screen registering that I've entered a key.  Has anyone else experienced this?
    I assume that this is an issue brought about due to the security fix that has been implemented within the iOS 7.0.2 update.  I am about to submit a Bug Report to Apple regarding this.
    At present, I have upgrading both of my iPhone 4S and the iPad 3rd Gen devices to iOS 7.0 and they experience no issues at all - working fine.  I guess I will hold off upgrading these two devices at the moment.

    I've been playing with the iPod, namely attempting to type text - all applications are affected.  I hadn't been typing text when I was playing with it.  I think the keyboard libraries have been corrupted.
    I have updated tge Bug Report and will plan to wipe and restore device using iTunes 11.1.  If this is successfull, will use the same approach for the other devices.

  • I have numerous different apple products with the new lightening connector, all of which have broken or stopped working after just short periods of time, I have an iPhone 5C, and iPad mini and and iPod Touch 5th gen?

    Hi, I have numerous different Apple products, an iphone 5c, iPad mini and iPod touch 5th gen.
    I have had them all for only relatively short periods of time yet the lightning cable has stopped working on all of them?
    On the touch, charging has stopped completely?
    Is this a manufacturing issue with the new charging system?

    Hi, yes I'm using the original apple cables.
    This definitely isn't user error nor confined just to me, the devices are used by different people in the home.
    On a quick sample around the office (survey of 7 people let me add) 4 of them said the cables had broken on them and had to be replaced.
    Having also searched through the forums it appears this is a fairly widespread issue.
    It's defo not user error!
