Why can't I sinc my iPhone to my iPad via bluetooth?

Why am I having a problem syncing my iPhone & iPad via Bluetooth?

Geez... I had such high hopes
You had completely unrealistic hopes.
Bluetooth is far too slow for anything more than the smallest of files.
Considering the fact that iPads and iPhones can store many gigabytes worth of data, you would be waiting weeks to sync your media.
USB is much, much faster. You can also transfer files via WiFi if the app you're using supports it. When iOS5 comes out later this year you'll also be able to sync via WiFi.
Bluetooth is just not designed for syncing huge amounts of audio and video data.

  • Why can't I connect to samsung or htc device via Bluetooth?

    Why can't I connect to samsung or htc device via Bluetooth? or can't copy any picture or song from my laptop to Iphone 5?

    Because this has never been a feature of iphone/ipad/ipod touch.
    Ipod touch/iphone/ipad support bluetooth for handsfree telephone devices, stereo speakers/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps form the app store, and internet tethering where provided by the carrrier.
    Otherwise, they will not connect to another phone/device/computer.

  • HT204368 I'd like to send photos from my iphone to my ipad via bluetooth.is it possible?cuz i can't find my i device after activating bluetooth.any help please?

    I'd like to connect my iPhone 4s using ios5.0.1 with my iPad 3 using ios6.0.1 via bluetooth so i can send photos without sync to my pc.when i activate BT no one can find the other.why?

    You need a third-party app to do so, like this:

    There are a number of apps in the app store like this.

  • Why do i constantly get cut off on calls.  I've had this problem with my 3GS, my 4S and now my iPhone 5.  When the core functionality is Phone, i.e. the ability to talk, why can't Apple make the iPhone function as a Phone?  is there an App for that !!

    Well, since you've had the same problem, with three different phones, that all use different size sim cards, it seems pretty obvious the problem is with your carrier/coverage & nothing to do with your phone or sim card.

  • Why can't I charge my Iphone 4s on the actiontec router rev I?

    I mean with rev E I could charge my IPhone and with the rev I I can't? Why can't I charge my iphone with the actiontec rev i. I mean the actiontec rev I have 2 blue USB sockets so many usb 3 but it won't charge my Iphone 4s why not when the rev E could? The usb light lights up but no charging to my 4s why not and when I take my iphone 4s from the charger the lights go out but with the charger still on there but not my iphone on the charger.

    I don't know what you mean by "right pins". I switched the action back to my rev E since I can't charge my iphone and the rev E can.
    I really don't have an answer, other than USB 3 is different, the standard includes 5 more wires in the cable and associated pins in the connectors at each end of the cable. As far as I know the power connector pins are the same for both USB 2 and USB 3, but as I said, my Android phone powers just fine from my Rev. I router, just as it does from the USB 2 ports on my older Actiontec, laptop and DVR. So the USB 3 ports on my Rev. I router most definitely provide power to my Android phone.
    Do you have any other devices that offer a USB 3 port that you could try to charge from? Or maybe some other phone or device that you could try on your Rev. I router? If not, maybe you could borrow another cable just to see if your iPhone will charge from the Rev. I router.
    Of course it is also possible the USB 3 ports on your router are defective or not powered up for some reason. Do you have a neighbor or friend with a Rev. I that you could test with, or maybe a Verizon store nearby that you could see if it will work there?
    I'm sorry, but that is all I can think of for now. Hope you can get it figured out.

  • TS3694 Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out.

    Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. or try again later." and next to the file it has err = -3259. I have tried this 17 times and it won't work. My iTunes is completely up to date. I have made sure that my connection is fine and I have tried turning my firewall off with no avail. This has happened to me before but usually the update will go through after 2-3 tries, never to this extent. I don't know what to do. Help!

    Error -3259 is a network timeout error, usually. This article might help:

  • Why can't i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading it to ios 6?

    why can't i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading it to ios 6?
    It says,
    ''There is no sim card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate''
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    There are several common causes for this problem:
    Your security software (Antivirus, firewall, router settings) is blocking access to gs.apple.com, Apple's activation servers. Try temporarily disabling your security applications on your computer.
    You have a redirect in your hosts file that defines a different IP address for gs.apple.com. you must delete all references to gs.apple.com from your hosts file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, or /etc/hosts on a Mac)
    Your phone is jailbroken or otherwise hacked.

  • TS3694 Since I upgraded to iTunes 10.7, I can no longer sync my iPhones nor my iPad. iTunes says "could not back up ... because a session could not be started". I'm on w7x64, updated.

    Since I upgraded to iTunes 10.7, I can no longer sync my iPhones nor my iPad.
    For all devices, iTunes says "could not back up ... because a session could not be started".
    I'm on w7x64, updated.
    I have already tried to re-install, reboot, stop/restart Apple mobile devices service, without success.
    Thanks!

    I have had this problem with Windows 7 and iTunes updates for some time. Each time it takes hours to solve but with the over the air upgrade to IOS6 on my iPhone and iPad, I was determined to solve and remember what I did, So here it is:

  • Why can't I open facebook videos on my ipad and iphone?

    Why can't I open facebook videos on my ipad and iphone any more? I used to be able to open most but now I can't open any.  Now it just comes up with a message 'unable to play video.Check your internet connection and try again' There is nothing wrong with my internet connection. I am on wifi and full signal strength. This is happening on both ipad and iphone. It's not the problem where sometimes a video wants Adobe to open it. This message comes up as soon as you try to click on the video play button in the video. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this please?

    Thanks for this Griff but it's not the app that isn't responding.  I am in the facebook app (on both iPhone and iPad) and the app is working fine but if people post a video I can't look at the video on the iPhone or iPad.  i always used to be able to but now it keeps coming up with the message I mentioned above.  So I can no longer watch videos from facebook on either my iPad or iPhone.  Here is a screen shot of my phone of what is happening.  As you can see I have full wifi so there is nothing wrong with my internet connection. This is really annoying as I used to be able to watch videos on both phone and ipad out of facebook.  now I can't.  Hope you can help.  regards and thanks Vicki

  • Why can't i see "Find iPhone" App under cellular data so I can turn it on?

    Why can't i see "Find iPhone" App under cellular data so I can turn it on?

    We have cell data plan.
    I have other phones (4s) and can see "Find Phone" App under Cellular Data and can turn on/off.  But the problem phone does not have "Find IPhone" to be able toturn on/off.  I made sure app is running when i go to Cellular Data. I guess the question is why do Apps show up under Cellular Data to be able to turn on/off?  I thought if the app was made for Cellular Data it automatically showed up under Cellular Data.

    I tried over and over, there must be something I need to change.

    Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
