Anyone got advice on using Bluetooth to import contacts to new iPhone? Currently all my new phone just keeps searching!

I have switched on Bluetooth but all I get is searching. My old phone can see the iPhone but the iPhone can't findy old phone. Any other suggestions on how to import contacts also appreciated!

Transferring data between two phones using bluetooth is not supported. Only handsfree devices and headphones can connect to your iphone.
To transfer your contacts, use your computer to store it from your old phone, then choose your contact app from the computer to sync to your iphone using iTunes. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
'You can also transfer the contact info to your SIM, swap it into your new iphone and import the contact info. This can be done in Settings/Mail,contacts,calendars/Import contacts from SIM card

  • HT2309 Can I use Bluetooth to import contacts?

    I just bought a Iphone5 and want to transfer the contacts to it. All the contacts are in my old Nokia (E72). Is it possible to do it using Bluetooth or any other way that's is not doing one by one. I would like to transfer the whole lot in one hit! Thanks to all...

    Because Apple has chosen not to implement file transfer, by Bluetooth, for any iPhone model. If you want this as a feature, tell Apple:

  • Can I use Bluetooth headphones with a 1st generation iPhone?

    Can I use Bluetooth headphones with a 1st generation iPhone? The headphones pair but the sound comes out of the phone and not the headphones. The phone has iOS 3.1 which is the last software the phone will support. Thanks.

    This will help you:
    Original iPhone
    The original iPhone features Bluetooth capabilities only for making calls. Connecting to a PC or streaming audio other than phones calls through Bluetooth is not supported.
    IPhone 3G
    With the iPhone 3G operating system, its Bluetooth capabilities are expanded to support wireless stereo headsets, file sharing with other Bluetooth devices, and use of the iPhone as a 3G modem. Also supported are new capabilities for combining the iPhone with Bluetooth accessories.
    IPhone 4.0
    The 4.0 version of the iPhone's operating systems keeps the expanded Bluetooth functions introduced in version 3 and adds one new benefit: Bluetooth keyboard support, so iPhone owners can use wireless keyboards wherever they go.

    hi me kashif Hello people,
    I lost all my contacts on my iPhone. Facebook contacts integration is turned off. When I got to know that I have no contacts on my iPhone. I checked my settings and iCloud backup and contacts on iCloud (in settings) were off.
    Is there a solution to get all my contacts back? Please help me. I want my contacts back, as soon as possible.
    Thank you in advance.
    iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.4

    Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
    Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
    When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync.

    My i phone 4s on bluetooth just keeps searching for other devices but never finds any even with another phone close by with bluetooth turned on

    MMaybe it is defective or your phone isnt registered right. Did you contacted the provider virgin? it uses cdma network.

    My bluetooth just keeps searching on my new iPhone 5s and does not recognise my car bluetooth which was working perfectly with my 4s.

    Maybe it's because of Mfi approving (https://developer.apple.com/programs/mfi/)

  • Activating Importing Contacts into new Skype ID

    Hi,
    I just set up a new Skype ID as the old one didn't really reflect my business anymore. So I backed up my contacts and then imported them into my new Skype which seemed to work but now all my contacts show as not accepted.
    I have tried selecting them and re-requesting from the menu but this doesn't work, they are simply not seeing these requests, and it is not because they have ignored the first attempt, they are just not getting them at all. 
    I have tried deleting the contacts and resubmitting a request but again, no luck.
    How do I get over this block where Skype believes it has sent a request but it hasn't?
    I am runing the latest version of Skype and these people are all approved contacts in my old account and in the main, do want to be in my new account.
    I have even asked some to request me under my new ID but their requests don't seem to get to me either, it seems that all the people I imported from my old ID have been blocked (even though they do not appear in the block list).
    Ok, any help would be very appreciated, thanks.

    Either your phone is broken, or it was jailbroken. You can try a DFU restore.

  • My new apple tv can't find its bluetooth connection, just keeps searching

    My new Apple tv can't find its bluetooth connection, just keeps searching,

    Seeing as MobileMe is being discontinued with no information from Apple as to whether or not galleries will be retained, there may be little point investing time in creating new ones from now on.

    Hello,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would need more information regarding what devices you are having an issue with to provide a better answer. However, most devices need to be placed in pairing mode before you will see them.  Try going through the article below as it may help with this scenario.
