Bluetooth communication with I Phone 5

How can I get my Mac Powerbook to connect to my I Phone 5 using Bluetooth? I go through the pairing procedure but the two devices will not connect.
I am using operating system version 10.6.8
Thanks,

No. Apple does not do trade-ins of any kind. Sell your 4S & use the money towards an iPhone 5.

Imessage on my computer not communicating with my phone. In my computer settings my phone number is no longer an option, just my email. How do I get it back?

HI,
I had this.
On checking the iPhone the iPhone Number was not ticked and the whole option to change it was greyed out.
I removed the Apple ID and waited to see if th Number got ticked (Settings > Messages > Send and Receive).
It did not.
I put the iPhone in Airplane Mode
After a few minutes I "restarted" the iPhone by turning off Airplane Mode
This time the Number was ticked.
I Added the Apple ID and then restarted Messages on the Mac.
I soon got the pop message about the iPhone using it's Number and the Apple ID and Accepted.

Chromecast Constant Communication with my Phone

I have a Galaxy S3, running Android 4.3 and a Fios Actiontec rev I.
I'm having constant communication between my Chromecast and my Android phone and it's causing wakelocks on my phone (my phone won't sleep, so it's killing the battery faster).
The Plex app constantly communicating with my Chomecast and causing a wlan_rx_wake kernel wakelock.
I haven't run plex today at all and my plex server PC is off.
I ran a network traffic logger and I see 2 entries constantly.
Plex SRC 192.168.1.127 DST 239.255.255.250
Kernel SRC 192.168.1.127 DST 192.168.1.116
192.168.1.127 is my Chromecast IP and 192.168.1.116 is my phone IP.
If I force close plex, it stops temporarily, but plex soon gets loaded again and starts the communication over.
Same thing happens with the Vevo app, which is chromecast enabled as well. I've tried disabling both UPnP and IGMP Proxy, but nothing changed.
What's going on here? How can I get this to stop? It's preventing the phone from going into deep sleep.

Firstly Louise you're basically shouting at fellow Telstra customers here, this is a basic customer to customer help forum. Sound s like you might need to take advantage of the official Telstra complaint channels to have these matters investigated for you. You find the appropriate options for this at the fllowing link: https://say.telstra.com.au/customer/general/forms/Email-Complaint Oh, and it's never a good idea on a public internet forum to post personal details, eg. your email address, might be an idea to edit your post and remove it.

Communication with mobile phone's modem

Dear All,
I have a work in which i need to send and receive SMS from a desktop app. I have seen that smart phone has built-in GSM modem so i am thinking to utilize a mobile phone instead of purchasing standalone GSM modem.
I looked into google a lot and found few examples on the net especially on the codeproject.com where the authors shown how we can send SMS from a modem or mobile phone (for example: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/38705/Send-and-Read-SMS-through-a-GSM-Modem-using-AT-Com). I have downloaded and tried few of the programs but nothing worked. In all of the programs one thing is common that they are using Serial ports for communication while i am connecting my mobile to pc with a USB port. I am not sure is there any way i can do it in java or i can virtually convert my USB port to com port.
Any help and suggestions will be appreciated.
Many thanks
Umer

I have AT&T, and I know that they prohibit modem tethering (what you're referring to) with standard data plans. I have a $20/month unlimited data plan but if I use it tethered to my computer, they may cancel my service because I broke the contract. You can do it anyway, however, but in very small amounts. It is possible for them to track this, but if you only use it sparingly, then they either won't notice or won't care. Alternatively, you could buy the $60/month data tethering plan, which would function exactly the same, except it would be legal.
Most, if not all, wireless providers have the same policy. That's why they'll never help you with this.
If you want to do this anyway, I recommend a Sony Ericsson W600. I've been using this phone for a long time, and it's fantastic. It doesn't have 3G though. Google for "osx modem drivers" or something like that to find more info. All these drivers have been written by some nice hacker, and some work better than others, so if this is your only consideration in buying a new phone, try to find which drivers work best.

Bluetooth disconnect with android phone

Hello,
ive bought Dialogues on the App Store. So after pairing my Htc One S with my Mac Mini (late 2012 with version 10.8.4) I saw that the Bluetooth connection disconnect after 3-5 seconds. I restart my mac and my one s. Tried it without Dialogue, but it disconnects after 3-5 seconds again.
Does anybody knows the Problem and have a tip for me?
Thanks in advance
Benedikt

Bluetooth communication with printer

I have just installed a bluetooth adapter (HP bt450) on my HP 7850 Printer. Sometimes when I send a document to the printer, it works and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the error message is "printer is out of range", which it definitely isn't. Any ideas what's going on?
Orangedog

You said the drivers were updated, but where do you download these new drivers? HP's site (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-62868-1 &lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3635399&os=219&lang=en) only shows 10.5 and earlier drivers.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Bluetooth connection with my hands-free device

Hello,
Several days ago the operation system of my Q10 was updated by 10.3.1.1779 release and now I have a problem with bluetooth communication with the built-in hands-free device in my car. My contacts app alredy is not recognized, so I cannot dial numbers from my contact's list and couldn't recognize a number who is calling. Also the numbers dialed haven't been memorizing...
Could you suggest any decision?

Hi had a same problem, after upgrading to 5.0.2 on my D6633 with my Honda. I have reset the phone and as well deleted all other devices I use at home (MAP-S1, SRS-X9) plus uninstalled SongPal application that controls them and all working now. This THROW function is usless only cosing problems

Bluetooth problem with n72

when i use bluetooth dongle with n72, phone always asks "Accept Connection from XYZ-PC?" i am getting frustrated by this... any solution to switch off such request and change it to silently accept connection?

Yes, go to the bluetooth menu on your phone.
Press right and it will show you a list of paired devices. Highlight the device you want then press options > set as authorised.

Anyone actually use bluetooth with their phone?

So i have recently discovered that the less i deal with my phone directly the better my quality of life should be. I have deleted pretty much all the bs social networking apps from my phone and try my damndst to keep my eyes off of the screen. But the problem lies with my phone - the actual phone part- i get a lot of calls per day for business and well, i hate it. Good for business but bad for my anti phone phase. A buddy of mine got me off of the iOS band wagon and into the android eco system a while back and uses a blueant q2, now i would like to take his word for it and im sure i can, but im intesteed to know what the what the community uses, if any....

I've got a really basic phone that cost me £16. No Bluetooth, no WiFi, no apps. It's not even got a camera. The number is ex-directory, so the only people who can phone me are the ones I give my number to.
I had similar for years and was happy with it, but I suddenly decided to get a decent smartphone just because it was there. By no means essential but it is handy now and then for info on the fly. £10 a month for a supermarket SIM that provides way more than I need is a reasonable running cost, though if I ever get close to my 5000 texts a month I'll refer myself to a shrink.

IPhone 5S bluetooth pairing with prius in-car phone Issue

Let me begin by saying that this is my first problem with any apple device! EVER!!
I have an Verizon iPhone 5S, less than 2 months old, with the new OS 8.0.2 update and it will no longer pair correctly with my 2012 Prius V's in-car bluetooth phone. You try to call someone, it doesn't connect and you can't hang up!!!! Then auto-calls them when you turn the bluetooth on (in the phone)... but doesn't physically make the call on the phone. Now if the bluetooth in my phone is on, and I even start the car, the car states it's trying to call home. I have attempted many of the following in different combinations with no success:
Tried to end the call on the car's interface (it won't turn off), pressed the hang up button on the steering wheel -- nada.
Restarted Phone
Turned Car on/off/on
Removed all pairings and re-paired them together
Made sure the LTE option was on (the iPhone 6 option, which seems to be relatively successful, for data and voice/voice only/data only is not an option on iPhone 5S)
Now, my husband has a Droid 4 and it works seamlessly with the bluetooth pairing. The car does play, through the bluetooth, Audio through the phone.
I guess I should also state I did NOT have any issues with iOS 8.0 or the 8.0.1 upgrades with pairing with the car's bluetooth technology. I have checked and my Entune "upgrades" are all up to date.

I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first. If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email then. Is there a way to fix this?

I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first. If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email from the phone screen. Is there a way to fix this so the phone doesn't have to be unlocked?

Apple, as I'm sure you know, now manage official phone 'unlocks' directly rather than the Newtork doing so.
When a GSM Network Provider buys a consignment of iPhone's they are locked to that carrier and may only be officially unlocked if said carrier requests it. If so, it is Apple who do this, via iTunes.
I am therefore inclined to think that part of the any generic iTunes syncing process involves the transmission of key hardware data, including IMEI, to Apple whenever the handset is synced.
If this is the case and, as each iTunes account is linked to a credit card, were Apple to maintain a database of genuinely stolen phones (ones reported to Police) they could advise said Police force when a stolen phone stuck its metaphorical head over the parapets once again? They would be able to identify the name & address of the new user.
I have spoken to the Police here in Ireland today and they regularly engage with Apple on such matters.
This may not be tracking as we know it Jim, (not using GSM Triangulation or GPS) but it's arguably even more targetted and leaves an indelible fingerprint of guilt on the thief.
The laws here are simple in this regard, if you are in possession of stolen property, knowlingly or otherwise, you forfeit the goods once the Police show up. Whether you get prosecuted depends on whether you stole the goods or were duped into purchasing them.

TS1717 Having trouble running iTunes version 11.0.2 on a Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1. Keep getting an error message "the software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly..." reinst

Having trouble when I launch iTunes (version 11.0.2) on my Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional (service pack 1). I get an error message indicating software required to communicate with iPod and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you? I normally respond with OK and it immediately tells me "could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes..." I have done this a number of times to no avail.

I also notice Quicktime is not getting installed at all.
That one is normal nowadays (ever since the iTunes versions 10.5.x).
The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Error message: "the software required for communicating with Ipods and mobile phones was not installed correctly....

2 error messages when opening itunes: "The software required for communicating with Ipods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want Itunes to repair this for you?" When clicking yes another message indicates not able to remove services. Another message is: "Service (ipod service) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system sources." I've uninstalled all Apple services (itunes, quicktime, apple software update, apple mobiles devices support, bonjour and apple application support and reinstalled itunes/quicktime - no change in error messages. I cannot burn CDs using Itunes. This all seemed to happen when I updated itunes to version 10. I have a Windows 7 64-bit operating system on a Dell Inspiron Zino HD; the Itunes software is also 64 bit.

See the second box of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
