When I connect my headphones via bluetooth to my iPad 4 I lose my internet connection?

I recently upgraded to iOS 7.1 and along with the problem mentioned in the title there are many other, not so major problems but I can put up with them.
So basically before I updated I could do this fine with no problems but ever since it updated my Turtle Beach PX5 has been able to connect to my iPad via Bluetooth but as soon as the connection is established I lose internet connection which is extremely frustrating as I tend to FaceTime while I'm playing on a console.
If I go into the wifi settings no possible access points are shown unless I turn off my bluetooth. Although on one occasion I have been able to connect to both services but the bluetooth was very unstable and after 20 or so seconds it seemed to have disconnected itself.
It's extremely frustrating that I pay money for a quality product (might I add that I've very much enjoyed up to this point) expecting that both these services can run simultaneously when they cannot.
So I wondered if there is a solution to this? Has anyone else had similar problems? And is there any way I can downgrade as the newest update (for me at least) has been a major disappointment.

One thing you should definitely try is keeping your iPhone 4 connected via USB cable in your computer and restarting.  This should make the computer recognize that it is connected and as long as you have your iTunes set up to automatically open upon connection with your iPhone you should be all set!

    Just downloaded FACETIME on my 4yr. olf Imac running Snow Leopard. When making a call to my friend's Imac all works correctly going both ways. When my wife calls me via Facetime from her Ipad, I cannot click on "accept"- not there? When called by the Imac (newest), the "accept" or "reject" radio button appears for me to click and connect. On my wife's Ipad the two radio buttons always appear when a call actiivates Facetime and comes on?
    There is nothing I can find in "Preferences" in Facetime to turn that on or off. I suspect it has to do with having a more current operating system; that the "controls" are in the operating system? [I'm guessing] It's frustrating getting Facebook calls from several friends on Ipads! Any ideas...VFP

    I suspect it has to do with not having a more current operating system
    Exactly, what Apple is doing is leveraging new features only on newer OS X versions to force you to upgrade OS X to 10.7 or later.
    What they don't tell you is 10.7 or later will NOT run your PowerPC based software, some of it you can't get Intel versions like for perfectly working printers, scanners and games etc. So it can be a very expensive OS X upgrade to 10.7 or later with third party software.

    Also they don't tell you is the risk in bricking your machine if the update goes badly, so you have to have AppleCare in case that occurs so it's on them to fix it. Else your paying money to replace the logicboard or buying a new machine prematurely.
    A four year old machine can't have AppleCare, it's only good for 3 years from date of purchase new.
    Your machine came with a boot hard drive, it's usually got about 4-5 years of life on it, then it needs to be replaced.
    Also they don't tell you the newer OS X version has more abilities and features that causes your machine to slow down in performance, especially on older machines.
    Also they implement new, idotic and extremely fustrating new user interface features in a arbitrary "you take it or leave it" manner with little or no fall back method.
    So upgrading OS X is a gamble on older machines that otherwise would likely work perfectly fine for the next 5 years if one didn't need to have to mess with it.
    Since Snow Leopard has slightly over 25% OS X version market share, your still good for security updates etc for the next few years if you just want to stay where your at and be happy.
    OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
    The Lions are, well, not so welcome due to Scott Forstall retard UI issues, OS X Mavericks 10.9 is likely going to fix things a bit better.
    But basically what is occuring is Apple is trying to force a faster hardware upgrade cycle with the more expensive products by leveraging features on the smaller devices that expire sooner.
    Apple is a hardware company that leverages whatever it can to get you to buy more hardware, it's why they are as rich as they are.

  • How to send docs via bluetooth from / to iPad?

    How to send quickly docs via bluetooth from / to iPad instead via itunes etc?

    I would very much like for there to be a way to quickly transfer a small block of text from iPad to iMac without copying and pasting it into an email/creating a small separate doc and using iTunes/using the cloud or dropbox or using Notes. Bluetooth worked fine for me between my laptop and iMac, quick and easy. WiFi would be better.
    I keep a large journal on my iPad using Pages (I'm a writer) and sometimes I just want to use/send a small selection of text from it to the iMac. It would be really nice if I could select the text and see in the popup options something like 'send to iMac' or other device.
    If you are running OSX 10.8.2 on your iMac, you can use iCloud and the Notes applications on your iPad and iMac to transfer the block of text in a note between the two devices.  I do this with simple notes and lists.  In your settings on each device, make sure Notes is turned ON under the iCloud tab.

  • IPhone 5 audio issues when paired with surround sound via Bluetooth.

    iPhone 5 has developed audio issues since ios7 updates when its connected to surround sound system via Bluetooth. Audio jumps and skips in erratic and unpredictable manner on music app and worse on third party apps such as YouTube  . Have restored phone from factory settings etc. Have also checked surround sound for fault with Bluetooth; iPhone 4 ios7 works fine, android works fine but newest iPod touch with ios7 appears to have developed same issue as iPhone 5 since ios7 updates. Advise people to check for this issue on their Bluetooth devices and any advice would be appreciated on this issue  :) 

    Hey there Vxas,
    It sounds like you are gettings some very unexpected behaviour from the iPhone to your bluetooth surround sound system. I would try the troubleshooting recommended in this article:
    iOS: How to troubleshoot Bluetooth connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4562
    Check that you are in range of the Bluetooth device with which you are trying to pair your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Most Bluetooth devices have a range of approximately 30 feet.
    On your iOS device, tap Settings > Bluetooth and find your device in the list. If your device says Not Connected, tap the name of your device to attempt to connect it.
    Tap Settings > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth off and then on again.
    Make sure that your Bluetooth accessory is turned on and fully charged or connected to power.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Bluetooth and locate the Bluetooth accessory you are currently connected to or attempting to connect to. Then tap and Forget this Device. Try to pair your Bluetooth accessory again.
    Note: You may need to re-enter your Bluetooth accessory PIN if your accessory requires one. Some common PINs are 0000, 1111, and 1234.
    Restart your Bluetooth accessory by turning it off and then on again1.
    Update your device to the latest version of software. See how to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    If your Bluetooth accessory has upgradeable firmware, check to see that you have the latest version1, 2.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Can't pair my beats wireless headphones via bluetooth

    My air "sees" the headphones, but can't connect. 

    Contactizer does not support dialling via Bluetooth for the iPhone (partly because the iPhone does not have this functionality).

  • Transfer Failed message when trying to send pics via bluetooth

    I used to have no problem sending pictures from my LG Vu to my Macbook Pro via bluetooth but ever since I sent my Mac in for repair and got it back from apple it no longer does this. Both the phone and my Macbook will connect and the download will start, but then my Macbook disconnects and I get a Transfer Failed message on my screen. If anyone knows how to fix this bug I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

    Try deleting your Bluetooth set up and re-doing as if it was from the beginning.

  • Using Nokia headphones via bluetooth

    Hi,
    G'day all,
    After looking elsewhere in the forum, I created the .asoundrc in /home and asound.conf in /etc file as below:
    pcm.btheadset {
       type bluetooth
       device 00:0D:3C:A6:CC:55
    Below is the line in /etc/rc.conf
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond hal cups alsa samba bluetooth fam sshd virtualbox)
    The bluetooth applet (sorry I could not cut n paste the screen)
    shows the Nokia BH-501 headset and three bars orange, green and blue and says connected.
    From the command line:
    mplayer -ao alsa:device=btheadset /data/Music/somesong.mp3
    plays fine.
    edit:I use alsa. Pulse is not installed.
    Question is how do I get the sound when I play a song / movie in smplayer or vlc ?
    regards

    thnx ngoone.
    Oh no particular reason for not using pulse. Just things are working fine (without bluetooth for smplayer, vlc etc) so far.
    Any pointers to use pulseaudio and bluetooth headsets ?
    Well, assuming your pulseaudio is working fine, the 'pointers' are just:-
    1. Pair with device using bluez.
    2. Move your stream to the bluetooth headset in pavucontrol (you may need to select A2DP in the Configuration if your headset supports it, not all do).
    abcbucket wrote:
    You need to choose the btheadset device. If the app doesn't support that you may need to make it default.
    In the preferences of both programs (smplayer and vlc) I could not find <btheadset>
    cheers
    Then try setting btheadset as default in your .asoundrc. Not all programs support non-commandline (or even CLI) selection of alsa plugins.

  • Play music random when started with earphone or via bluetooth

    since the upgrade to iOS7 my playlists do not play normally.
    whenever I start listening music through the earphone, start with the button on the wire, it starts with a different song that I stopped (even in the middle). It doesn't occur when I start / stop the music for only a few seconds. It seems to occur when a switch takes place in the device where the music is sent to (for this particular example the bluetooth device in my car). In the past this worked fine. the playlist I regularly listen to is 102 songs long, takes a while to complete it. So since the update it won't let me listen to my favorite playlist complete, with an interuption of getting in or out of my car. Is the playlist damaged? It seems to play fine if I listen to it all at once, but whenever I stop (with change of bluetooth etc.) I am supprised by other albums on my Iphone. Any advise would be helpful

    I'm having the exact same problem, phone is connected to the car but music wont play through it. I've noticed today it said handsfree disconnected in the bluetooth and phone setting. Haven't a clue what to do but i'm finding it annoying.

  • Iv upgraded to ios 6 on my iphone 4 and surprise surprise i can now no longer listen to music on my wireless headphones through bluetooth as it now jumps and loses signal just a metre or two away and especially if my hand is covering the top of the phone

    Iv upgraded to ios 6 on my iphone4 and i can no longer listen to my bluetooth wireless headphones as the signal is now that poor it must be deemed in heaven cuz it no longer alive and kicking, i am not happy about this in the slightest infact its a ....... Liberty!! Iv spent lots of money on itunes for music and audiobooks and now i cant listen to them!!! Its definately not thr headphones the signal was fine with no problems at all before i updAted and now its a mockery.. Itsnot my headphones i have two sets still in the box tht i tested and its the same with them so sort it out apple

    Okay, so I think I managed to fix this issue.  For anyone having the same problem, I learned that you don't have to have the same Apple ID for iTunes as you do for the other things on the phone---I didn't realize there were separate logins.  Helpful.
    So I created an ID for my husband's phone.  I logged into iCloud and FaceTime with that account.  After doing so, the settings in Messages actually changed to look more like the ones I was seeing on my phone.  So I then logged into iMessage with his new account (that option to log in was not even showing before!).
    The Apple ID for iTunes is still appearing as the shared one, so we can hopefully still have joint use of our purchased items.
    We shall see if it works when it comes time to receive a message or download an already purchased app, but it's looking promising

  • Using Keynote Remote via Bluetooth - iPhone 4S + iPad 2

    I have used Keynote remote quick happily on my old 3GS. Now I need to use Keynote remote on my iPhone 4S to control a Keynote presentation on my iPad.
    WiFi is not an option, so I need to use Bluetooth.
    Both devices are up to date and running iOS6
    Activating iPad Bluetooth in settings, devices (eg Macbook, Apple keyboard) other than the iPhone appear on the iPad.
    Activating Blutooth in settings on the iPhone discovers nothing. It is as if Bluetooth is not activating. The MacBook can't find the iPhone either.
    I have rebooted both devices several times.
    I have also tried to activate the pairing within Keynote remote - which just says no connection is available and says both devices must have bluetooth turned on.
    So.
    Am I being stupid here?
    Or has Apple screwed up letting their very expensive and overpriced devices communicate with each other?

    Hey I was having trouble with this too. I got it to work for me. I have an iPad 2 and an iPhone 5. The fix for me was simple. Turn off WiFi for both your iPad and your iPhone. Turn on Bluetooth for both your iPad and your iPhone. Then KeyNote > Tools > Advanced > Remote. You don't have to do anything just have your Phone Remote app running and the bluetooh enabled when you hit remote on your iPad. They should find each other.
    I've had to do this each time I use this function. There should we a way that you can just choose to use Bluetooth.

  • How to change ringtone when connected via bluetooth

    When the Z3C is paired via bluetooth with my car audio system, the Z3C playes a different ringtone then the one which I have set as default.
    How can I change (set) the ringtone when the Z3C is connected in my car?

    I'm not to sure but I would imagine it has something to do with Smart connect and how it's setup when paired

  • My ipad shows connected via bluetooth but doesnt actually go online

    I have recently been using my MacBook Pro internet to connect via bluetooth to my ipad. It was working fine and then I went away for a week and when I came back its now not working. It shows connected on my MacBook and my Ipad but when I try to go on the internet in my ipad it says I cannot connect. Any ideas as to why it was working before and now its not. I have tried uninstalling my ipad from the bluetooth and resetting it up but still nothing.

    You cannot link to another smartphone via Bluetooth from your iPad except perhaps to use the Xperia's personal hotspot (WiFi is supported, but I'm not sure about Bluetooth). If you wish to transfer files or data, that's not possible.
