After unpairing a device I cannot pair it again

I successfully paired my 4S to our Polk sound bar. After getting frustrated because I couldn't get the soundbar to work with the TV again, I unpaired my phone. Now when I try to pair it again, it appears in my Bluetooth window but the pairing is always unsuccessful. Please help.

Yes. In fact my iPhone recognizes the soundbar, but when I click to pair them, I get a message saying it was unsuccessful. I will pursue this with Polk as well, but I wasn't sure which side the problem was on.

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
If no joy...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
If the issue persists...

I have a Tritton TRI-BC200 hands free device that my iPhone 5 no longer "sees" on Bluetooth, so, I cannot pair the device. Anyone have a suggestion? Tritton no longer supports the device.

I had this problem and what I did was: read the user manual. I was actually using the wrong buttons to put the Tri-BC200 on pairing mode. I also boot my I phone. Everything worked OK. Regards.

That is not a feature of the iPad. You can share by text or email to other devices.

It isn't supposed to pair with the MacBook. You can use WiFi to connect but not Bluetooth. You can setup a personal HotSpot on the iPhone and connect the MacBook, or setup the MacBook AirPort to create a network and attach the iPhone, and use the USB cable to connect the iPhone to the MacBook for syncing and backup purposes.
The communications are rather limited.

After omitting my iPad 2 from my iPhone 3GS bluetooth paired devices and viceversa, I can't re-pair them again.

I had my iPad 2 (WiFi only, 64 GB) tethered to my iPhone 3GS via bluetooth to share internet. After turning bluetooth off to save battery and then on, they didn't link aymore, so I omitted the devices in each one another, but now I can't pair them again, they just don't show in the devices list of the other device.
I reset all the adjustments in the iPhone, but I only get in the found bluetooth devices a list of MAC addresses, none corresponding to the one of the iPad.
iPhone has iOS 4.3.2 (8H7) and iPad 2, iOS 4.3.3 (8J2).
Thanks,
Enrique Celedón V.

Hello sallyally, I will explain what I did, perhaps some steps are not necessary:
1. Turn bluetooth off in the iPad: Settings->General->Bluetooth->OFF
2. Turn bluetooth on in the iPhone: Settings->General->Bluetooth->ON
3. Share internet access in the iPhone: Settings->Personal Hotspot->ON
4. Go to bluetooth in settings of iPhone: Settings->General->Bluetooth
5. Turn bluetooth on in the iPad: Settings->General->Bluetooth->ON
6. Both devices should find each other and show the same code, press ok or something like that and it is ready.
Let me know if it worked.

Brand new iMac cannot pair bluetooth keyboard and magic mouse

Hi there!
Just received brand new iMac 21" yesterday. Unboxed it, turned it on and none of both bluetooth devices (keyboard and magic mouse) managed to get paired.
I was able to connect a USB mouse to log into the Mac. Did all turn off/on Bluetooth, turn off/on iMac several times with no luck. Weird thing is that when I lift keyboard on a 30 degree angle above my desk it seems to actually pair with the iMac but then when back to original position it disconnects.
I've tried the magic mouse with my 2008 Macbook and works flawlessly. After several attempts never managed to pair magic mouse with iMac and as said earlier keyboard is not working on a standard position on my desk. It is frustrating to have paid close to 2,000$ for something that does not even work out of the box... Any ideas or suggestions?
I'm planning to take it today to nearest Apple Stores but have a bad feeling about "genius" folks being able to help me out. Would be worth changing iMac for new one?
Thanks a lot in advanced!

Thanks Barry! If SCM reset means the following:
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
I've done that several times yesterday with no success. "SMC Reset" sounds quite fancy but then you google it and find that is a "simple" shut down and restart protocol... I tried "shutting down" by both selecting option via OS and also physically on the button behind screen.
I appreciate the help but unless I've done that "simple" protocol wrong it is not working.
Sorry for the frustration from my side. It just seems too much of a vague story when you hear Apple friends talking things about "the best OS", "best desktop",...and then you pay about $2,000 and find this yourself.
If anyone else interested I commit to keep this up to date with the feedback I'll get from "genius" folks today. Hopefully they'll prove themselves to live up to their position naming.

Cannot pair a second remote to a second box

Just upgraded to xi platform and easily paired my X1 dvr but cannot pair a second remote to another box in another room. After I hold the setup button till the light turns green then press the infinity button the TV goes to the help menus not the code box

The remotes don't pair to the RNG 150 boxes that you have. You would need an XR8 adapter for each. If you want some, go to the link and leave a message

MacBook Air cannot pair with iphone

Hi,
Once I've configured my MacBook to use tethering with iphone 3GS via Bluetooth. Suddenly it stopped to work. Then I tried to pair two devices again, but simply I cannot.
I open Bluetooth assistant which finds my iPhone, click to connect, then code appears both on MacBook and iPhone, click to confirm, wait 10-15 seconds and get the message on iPhone that it cannot pair with MacBook Air, and on MacBook I receive and error. Tried restarting, turning tethering on and off, etc - no effect.
I thought that maybe there is something wrong with iPhone s/w, but today I checked with brand new iPhone 4 with 4.0.2 SW - result is exactly the same.
Wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse works on that machine without any problem....
Any clue?
Krzysztof

yes, but it does not refer to iPhone, while problem is clearly related with MacBook - if I could pair another iPhone without problem, then the problem would be within one particular iPhone, wouldn't be?

HT204387 Cannot pair iPhone 5 with Toyota Camry Bluetooth

I cannot pair iPhone 5 with Toyota Camry Bluetooth. Never had a problem with android

Two things that you need to verify first
1. The first step in troubleshooting any accessory is to determine whether the accessory is compatible with the device. Contact your automotive manufacturer or the manufacturer of your aftermarket head unit to see if your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch model is compatible.
2. Verify that both your car kit and your iOS device are running the latest software versions. To verify that your car kit is up to date, please contact your automotive manufacturer or the manufacturer of your aftermarket head unit.
Also follow the Link. hope this helps.
