Blue tooth won't locate other hardware

My Ipod touch with ios 5.1 won't find any other blue tooth units on my WIFI network. It seemed to work fine before I upgraded the rouer to the Dovo Tiny. Other hardware with bluetooth works fine on the same network. Any ideas?

The only thing you can try on that model is a factory reset from the settings menu but it's not likely to work.
Return it to the retailer as they have sold you a faulty phone. It has most likely suffered a hard fall or water damage if bluetooth doesn't work. The longer you have it the more problems you are likely to have.
Make sure you buy it's replacement from a more reliable company.

Blue tooth won't stay on in car.

Blue tooth in my car will not stay connected, I try to add it back in manually, but it will still disconnect? Any suggestions?

Thanks for the info Jo Anne,
Have you been to the Sync site to review troubleshooting? I encourage you to visit http://support.lincoln.com/topics/sync-technology as the details are all available there. I recommend you remove the bluetooth connection from the phone to start it as brand new. Go to Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Bluetooth settings -> Select and hold the paired bluetooth device -> Select Unpair. Let us know if this improves the experience.
Thank you,

Is iphone 4 having issues with Blue tooth?. I have checked four iphone brand new sets from different location. Not detecting other devices

Is iphone 4 Having issues with Blue Tooth connectivity ? Last saturday i have bought up iphone 4, when i checked that device blue tooth was not detecting the other iphones. I went to apple store in Ottawa. They checked with their Mac computers. They said Yes this iphone is having problem. Please exchange it on the store you bought up. I have exchanged that iphone with brand new, again same issues...
iPhone is not detecting other devices with Blue Tooth. I have checked with other two. they having same problem.
Please tell me, What apple gonna do with my iphone now ? Should i keep it ? or cancel my contract with cell phone company. As i am sure they not going to replace it again or gonna make excuses.
Waiting for replies [email protected]

I have upgraded my iphone 3 to a 4. I just recently discovered that while the iphone 3 automatically discovers bluetooth but the iphone 4 does not (couldn't discover any bluetooth). My bluetooth is Jabra SP200. It turned out, there are other steps to take with the bluetooth device to pair with the iphone 4. As stated, iphone 3 detected it automatically. But w the iphone 4, I had to press and hold the answer button of the Jabra for it to pair with iphone 4. Call the bluetooth manufacturer directly and check with their alternative pairing procedures.
Hope this helps.

HT204368 after downloading ios7, iTunes no longer works through my blue tooth (car)- but other programs (pandora) work just fine

After downloading ios 7.02, iTunes no longer works through my blue tooth (car), but other music apps work fine. iTunes and iTunes radio work fine though headset and on speaker, but won't work through bluetooth.
Anything that can be changed in 'settings' or with my iTunes so I can use it through my blue tooth?

Hi, milljam7.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sometimes closing all applications open in multitasking and power cycling the device can resolve the issue.

My iphone4 and my iPad mini won't connect via blue tooth just continues to search

What are you trying to do?
The Bluetooth is meant for earplug, headset, keyboard, car hands-free set, and speakers.
You need a 3rd party app to do BT file transfer or other functions between iDevices.

Blue tooth 2.0 EDR software or hardware

Is the (blue tooth 2.0 EDR) hardware or software.???? If it is software will apple create a update for iphone 3g or 2g to (2.0 A2DP stereo blue tooth) ?

Until or unless Apple makes an announcement, there is no way to know what Apple will or will not do in the future.
Iphone has not supported A2DP since it has come out and there has been no mention from Apple (as far as I know) that it will be.
Who knows?
We'll only know when Apple announces.

After connecting my blue tooth it works for a few incoming and outgoing calls. Then for no reason when i make a call the other party cannot hear me and even if i try to click on the speaker phone or hand set they cannot hear me. rebooting required

Blue tooth operation and lock up. After i connect my bluetooth it works fine foe a few calls. Then if i place an outgoing call, I cannot hear the reciving party but they can hear me. Other times i can hear them but they cant hear me. After rebooting the phine it works again for a few calls. This is consistent with 2 diferent blue tooth devices?

Sorry about the delay, I have been away from my computer for a couple of days.
Since you are able to use Siri and dictate notes, that indicates the mic itself is working.
I would suggest fully quiting the Phone app and resetting the iPhone.
Double click the Home button (bottom center of the display with square icon on it) to get the fast switcher. Press and hold on one of the icons so they start "shivering" and the red "-" icons. locate the Phone icon and press the red "-" on it. Then press the Home button again to stop the "shivering".
Then Reset the iPhone, press and hold the Home and Sleep/power (top right edge of iPhone) buttons until you get the Apple logo. Wait for it to finish restarting and then test again.

Are you sure your car is in "discovery" mode, looking for a new Bluetooth device?

Blue tooth doesn't connect to other devices

My ipod nano doesn't connect via blue tooth to any devices.

What devices are you trying to connect to and for what purpose. The iPhone connects to most devices that support music, telephone. It cannot be used to connect to computers, except for Personal Hotspot, and cannot be used to transfer files. You can see this support document to see what Bluetooth profiles the iPhone does support. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647

My IPhone 4 blue tooth does not connect with other other mobile phones. Other devices find me. Mine just keeps searching.

Tried sending a friend a photo via blue tooth from my IPhone 4 to his black berry.
His device finds me, but mine does't find his. It just keeps searching.
Am I doing something wrong, pr does IPhone not support this?

blue tooth in iphone is only for headset support means you can only connect a blue tooth head set with your phone thats about it for blue tooth functionality,
You cannot transfer files with other phones or your PC, thats the standard behaviour your phone is fie

HT1689 my ipad mini retina display is disabled. I believe I know the cause. I packed it with my blue tooth key board in my back pack. The key board likely entered various keys and the ipad believes these entries were invalid password attempts. I am tr

my ipad mini retina display is disabled because my blue tooth key board made number key entries while in my back pack. How do I re-enable?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

Can I use more than one blue-tooth device at the same time on IPhone 4S? Like a wireless headsets and speed and cadence sensor for cycling computer, receive the data and listen music simultaneously

As long as the profiles are different (ex. HID vs AD2P) you will not have any issues. But say if you try to use 2 keyboards at once, it won't work. Or 2 headsets at once. Your scenario seems fine.
