Why doesn't the iPhone or iPad connect via bluetooth?

I try to connect my iPhone to other phones or even other iPhone and it doesn't find any phone,even the iPad.It only says searching and ''Now visible'' but doesn't connects with anything.
What was the Bluetooth made for, if it doesn't work with own Apple's devices??So,it works with what??

It works with the things it is designed to work with. i.e. headsets, headphones, speakers, car stereos, other iOS devices for peer to peer apps and computers for internet tethering.
There are over 20 different Bluetooth profiles - not all are supported by all devices. Apple chose to support the ones here:

Why doesn't the iPhone 5 have the call bar feature like the 4S does?

From the Swype website:
Why isn’t Swype available for iPhone/iPad/BlackBerry/Windows Phone?
Due to the technical design of some operating systems, it is not possible for third party keyboards (such as Swype) to be offered at this point in time. Please communicate to your device/OS manufacturer that you’d like to see Swype available as a keyboard option!

Why doesn't the iPhone 4s charge to 100%?

Why doesn't the iPhone 4s charge to a full 100% when charing over night?

OK sort of an old thread now but this apparently is a common issue. Restore wont help. I have researched it for the past week (did several months ago too and gave up) but I now have somewhat of a solution to this phenomena. For whatever reason mine seems to stay at 100% most of the night than around 7:00am it would drop to 97% or so within a few minutes. This sorta stopped when iOS 5.1.1 came out. Now it stays at 100% until I unplug it then it drops. What I was doing was each morning when wake up, I unplug then plug back in while I was getting ready for the day and it would go back to 100%. So for the fix. What I have discovered over the past week worked 100% of the time. When go to bed I turn off the phone with the slider. Then plug in charger and let the phone come alive again by itself. But I do not log it in. Just let it sit at the lock screen. Now every morning its at 100% and stays that way for more than an hour (If not used). So it is being fully charged and remaining that way. iPhone will quick charge to 100% by meter but in reality it still needs longer to fully charge. Anyway this process has solved the waking up to less than 100% while still being connected to the charger.

Why doesn't the iphone have flash player?

why doesn't the iphone have flash player?

Because it *****, has security holes in it and your phone battery life wouldn't be as good as it's today. For starters.....
Flash is heading in the direction of a dying breed. HTML5 will take it over eventually, once the world buttheads finally come to agree on its final standards.

How can i use my iPhone 4 and connect via bluetooth with my macpro

how can i use my iPhone 4 and connect via bluetooth with my macpro

The only way that you can connect your iPhone to the mac is to use it for a "Wi-fi hotspot" meaning that you can use the celluar connectivity of your phone to connect your computer to the interent.
Do you mean a MacBook Pro of the desktop MacPro?

Cannot get my iphone 4 to connect via bluetooth to another phone or my pc

I cannot get my iphone 4 to connect via bluetooth to another phone or my PC, despite activating bluetooth on the iphone it just says 'devices' 'searching' 'now discoverable'. I have put the 2 devices very close to each other as well.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks

That's because it's not supported. The iPhone supports hands free devices, keyboards and A2DP audio streaming. Bluetooth can only be used to a computer for tethering. Some apps can establish peer to peer connections for gaming and data sharing, but that's it.
What you're trying to do will NOT work.

Why doesn't the 4th generation iPad do panaramic pictures.

Why doesn't the iPad 4 take pics like the iPhone 5 with panoramic pictures.

Apple has never said, but a common presumption is that, when they thought about the panorama feature, they thought for handheld devices, the iPhone (can't recall if it's on the touch or not). When you think of a handy video camera, you think of smaller devices, not something bulky like an iPad. Although I will say I've been in national parks and Disneyland and saw plenty of people using their iPads as their cameras.
They probably used the same premise as they did with the Passbook app....who needs a 'handy virtual ticket' app on a bulky device like an iPad?

Why doesn't the iPhone organise music correctly?

I am running iTunes 10.7(21) on a 2011 iMac. I have an iPhone 5 on iOS6. I have never been able to correctly organise my music on the phone. Compilation albums showing up 100 times, with all 100 songs in each instance of the album... etc. I am no longer adding compilation ablums because I can't get them to display correctly. Shame.. Anyway.
With the iPhone 5, i added a load of music, and realised some of it was *missing*. It would show up under "Songs", with all tag info (artist, album track name), but the same tracks would not be listed under "Artist". All track info is immaculate.
I wiped all the music, and now have just begun re-adding it all. I have 3 Artists on there so far, and they all show up. Tapping on an artist brings up the one or two albums I have copied on, the tracks play. However if I try to view all albums, only one album apprears to be on the entire phone.
I sold my prefectly organised 160Gb iPod when I got the new iPhone.. Not happy that I can't get everything the way I want it on the iPhone!
Also how difficult is it to get artwork to add to an album properly!! I spend way too much time swearing at iTunes.
Anyone with any help or advice, I'd love to hear it!
Thanks. Tony

Seems to have worked. I think. The album has copied on, all 100 songs show up in iTunes and on the iPhone under "Songs". But in the album or compilations list it is not there? Frustrating as the files are obviously on the phone, they just don't show up where they are supposed to.
As for the artwork, it's just hit and miss. Sometimes perfect, other times it doesn't sync over. Can't seem to work out what causes the difference. It updates and syncs, then there is no change on the phone. Beats me!
It was so easy to organise music on an iPod classic. Compilations were all under the right heading, artwork copied every time, it was heaven! This is just rediculious. I know my way around a computer!
electronicsguy; I have Group By Album Artist enabled, and now all the other (non-compilation) albums are visible.

Why doesn't the iphone show up in my device

so when i use to hook up to windows the iphone would let me open up the iphone to get my pictures out but when i hook it up to my macbook it dont show up at all.. i want to get pictures off of this iphone

The iPhone does not show up on the desktop on the Mac, by design (because disk use is not possible, unlike most iPods). You need to use iPhoto or Image Capture to get the pics off the phone. iPhoto is for organizing your pics, sorting them, editing them, etc. You can choose iPhoto albums to sync back onto the phone, if you like. Image Capture is a simple app to pull images off cameras or scanners.
If you have iLife '08 or later, select iPhoto > iPhoto menu > Preferences > General tab and set the When Camera is Connected pop-up to either launch iPhoto or Image Capture. If you have an older version of iLife, that setting is in Applications > Image Capture > Image Capture menu > Preferences.

Why doesn't my ipod 7th gen connect to bluetooth in my new car

I have a 2014 Hyundai Elantra GT. I was told that I could play my Ipod nano 7th Gen via Bluetooth. the car picked up my IPod and the IPod detected the car. Seemed pretty simple. But when I tap connect on my Ipod, I get an error on the car display "connection failed". I tried deleting the Ipod and starting over, but still won't connect.
The folks at the Hyundai are blaming it on Apple saying they are restricting the connection due to the last software upgrade. No one seems to be able to give a concrete answer. If someone spends over $25,000 on a new car they should be able to connect a simple Ipod nano.
I hope someone from Apple reads this and provides a solution so I can enjoy my tunes in my new car.

Nobody from Apple will read this.
Go here: https://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodnano.html
Or call AppleCare.
There hasn't been a firmware upgrade on the Nano for over a year, which software upgrade is your Hyundai dealer referring to? Also, have you connected the car to any other device?

Why won't my iPhone or iPad connect to iTunes?

Both my phone and iPad will not connect to iTunes even though they are recegnized by my computer. I have done everything from restarting the devices and my computer to reinstalling iTunes. I need help.

So you followed all of the instructions in TS1538 and it did not help. Then you looked at TS1567 which I sent you and it didn't help. Is this all correct? I"m guessing that you are using Windows.
Then you need to remove and reinstall iTunes. Use this support document and follow the instructions exactly. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 Then try and connect your iPhone.
