IPad and iPhone Bluetooth issues

Help!
I have an iPad2 and an iPhone4s and neither of them will discover the other.
In addition they won't discover any other Bluetooth items, although my iPhone will pair with my car Bluetooth for some reason and will find other car Bluetooth devicesIt's all very odd!
I have a Bluetooth keyboard but my iPad won't discover that either. I've tried turning off but make no difference.

4. Once you do this, your keyboard will show up under Devices and say Not Paired. - See more at: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/5772/ipad-how-to-pair-connect-any-bluetooth-keybo ard/#sthash.FZlCTbkx.dpuf
Hhi,
I have 2 Ipad 4th Gen tablets.. neither will discover anything. I turn on Bluetooth and it just searches forever, but never discovers anything. I can turn both tablets Bluetooth on and neither one even finds the other.
I tried turning off the airdrop thing, and still nothing.
Is there a config file or something? Im actually an experienced Windows/Linux developer, never used Apple products before now and am suprised there is really nothing that can be done to anything. I feel like Apple is treating us like untrusted kids lol

How iPad and iPhone Bluetooth connect?

How iPad and iPhone Bluetooth connect?It does't work.I try 36 times.help me.

If you trying to transfer documents via bluetooth between the iPad and iPhone then you can't as it's not supported - bluetooth on the iPad is aimed at devices such as headphones and keyboards. A full list of the supported bluetooth profiles is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647

How to use keynote remote w/ iPad and iPhone using Bluetooth

Using IOS 7.0.6 on iPad and iPhone can't get a connection via Bluetooth to use iPhone as a remote to control keynote on iPad. Bluetooth is on, remote is enabled in keynote on both devices but that is as far as I get. I'm looking for some instructions for what seems to be a simple process. Searched all over and only find outdated instructions or instructions that appear incomplete. I don't think my Wi-Fi connection at work will allow this type of connection that's why I want to use Bluetooth. I can't get the 2 devices to do this on my home Wi-Fi either. Using the latest update to keynote. iPad is work issued and not sure if it is iPad or iPad 2 but I don't think this would make a difference. Any help would be much appreciated. Very frustrated at this point.
Thank you,
Carl

Hey, I had some issues but I finally figured it out thanks to this article: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-use-keynote-to-control-keynote-on-ios-mac/
Basically, you find the remote (let's say your iPhone) while your iPad has a presentation active then go to Presentation Tools on said iPad and link your iPhone. Your iPhone has to be searching for a device after you tap "Add Device."

How to prolong the bluetooth timeout session on ipad and iphone

how to prolong the bluetooth timeout session on ipad and iphone?
I understannd that the standard timeout setting is 3 mins. what if I want to prolong the connection duration, how should I do?
thanks

To my knowledge, there is no "time out" on a device. A mouse, KB, etc will go into a low power mode after a short period of non-use.

Both my iPad and iPhone apps crash, they close up without a reason. I've now reset both devises several times but it still happens. What is the issue? Is it my devices?please help it is annoying me now! Thank you

I have an issue with my iPad and iPhone. They apps keep on crashing, even the standard apps like mail and safari, notes etc. I have reset the divices and have the latest software, what am I doing wrong? Why would this happen? It is annoying and I want to fix it as I am in the middle of stuff and apps just close! Help.

I'm guessing it's an app that is on both devices. Delete all common apps, reset and see how they run.
Also try clearing your recently used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon until they wiggle
- Continually press the red to delete the apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done
With a quick finger, you can clear this list very quickly.

Bluetooth between New iPad and iPhone 4S won't connect

This worked earlier this week (for the purpose of using Keynote Remote on the phone to make a Keynote presentation on the iPad), but yesterday, the iPad and iPhone began to be unable to connect via Bluetooth. I've rebooted both devices a few times. Sometimes they can see each other, but can't connect; other times, they can't see each other at all.
This is for my boss so I am really in need of some help.

It does seem that this isn't possible, but for some reason this reads as though you can use Keynote Remote on your iPhone to control a Keyntoe Presentation on your iPad. I can't get it to work: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3325?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

IPad and iPhone issues with 1242AP

Hi,
We have a 1242 AP (b/g and a) installed at a customer site where they would like to use iPads and iPhones along with laptop PC's for wireless LAN and internet access. We've tried getting these devices to connect and are having problems. Laptops using b/g radios are having no such issues.
I've read about the iPads having problems when trying to connect to APs that support mixed modes (b/g, n). Does anyone have any experience with regard to solving this issue? Should we turn off all the g radio settings in order to force the AP and iPad to connect using the b radio standard? Also, since the iPad doc states that it has support for the "a" radio standard, could we solve the problem with regard to the iPads by turning on the 5 ghz "a" radio in the AP? Right now it is off.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

My understanding is that when the Apple Devices like iPad, iTouch, iPhone go into sleep mode they actually shutdown the WiFi radio interface which causes the device to obviously disconnect from the wireless and then the user idle timeout on the controller kicks the user off the network. Then when the device comes out of sleep it has to re-enable the radios, then search for networks, then reconnect, and then go thru the authentication process and some time it fails or can get blocked as a result of too many reauthentications. So I generally turn off the exclude client option to minimize the occurance of this. This maynot be the case but it's what i have experienced with them.
Hope this help... Please rate useful posts.
Thanks,
Kayle

Email issues with iPad and iPhone together

Hi,
I have an iPhone 4 and just got an iPad with wifi+3G. When I set up my iPad for email, I started getting email on the iPad ok, but I stopped getting new email on my iPhone. I want email to be received in both places.
I had been receiving email on my iPhone and my desktop through Mac mail just fine, in both places. I set up my iPad the same way I set up my iPhone:
Fetch new data set to push, using imap for incoming and smtp for outgoing.
My iPhone is giving the alert that new mail has arrived, as in the little red number pops up over the mail icon, but no new mail is showing in my inbox.
How do I receive mail on both my iPad and iPhone?

Hi Lori,
Mac OS X (10.6.4)
If you are running v10.6.4, click the Apple () menu (top left in your screen) Software Update ...
Then sync both devices, restart both devices.

VoiceOver issue with iBooks on iPad and iPhone in iOS 4.2.1

I use the VoiceOver feature of my iPad and iPhone. After I upgraded to iOS 4.2.1 I was unable to buy any books from the iBooks store. I had to disable VoiceOver to make my purchases (not an easy feat when you need VoiceOver!)
I particular, I've found two bugs.
1. When I have VoiceOver enabled while using iBooks, I can not select the price button to buy a book.
2. While I'm in my Account page by first selecting "Apple ID: myappleid" at the bottom of an iBooks page and then selecting [View Apple ID] from the pop-up, I'm unable to modify any of the fileds. VoiceOver tells me I can select the fields, but when I try to, the control (numeric keypad, picker item, etc.) is not displayed and I have no way of modifying the field. H have to disable VoiceOver and navigate back to make my changes.
How do I report this to Apple?

The best place to let Apple know your views is via the channel they have set up for that.

Bluetooth on iMac doesn't pair with iPad and iPhone!

I bought a new iMac 27'', and I tried to pair my iPad and iPhone with it,but it wouldn't work,how was that happened and how could I do?
Thank you, everybody!!!

I tried to pair my iPad and iPhone with it
For what purpose?
The iPhone can only be paired with a computer for internet tethering.
The iPad cannot be paired with a computer at all, only headsets, stereo headphones and keyboards.

HT203433 Having an issue with my IPad and IPhone trying to update my Apps from the Apps store?

I am having a problem with my IPad and Iphone trying to do My Apps updates via the App Store. I see the # of 4 updates in red showing, but when i try to do the updates by hitting the "update button" I get an error message saying I can not connect to the iTunes store although I am signed in already?
Anyone had the same problem?
thx,
Max

I'm not aware of any viruses or malware for iOS devices (except for jailbroken devices), but it might be a software bug.
Try closing all apps via the taskbar and then do another a reset and see if that helps. To close all app : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Reset as before i.e. press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Please help. At work we have netgear and tplink. Since I updated my mini iPad and iPhone 4S with ios 7 and wifi drops all the time.

Please help. At work we have netgear and tplink. Since I updated my mini iPad and iPhone 4S with ios 7wifi drops all the time. What is the problem?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi.
