Bluetooth connection using iPhone personal hotspur

I try to connect my iPad and iPhone by Bluetooth connection of iPhone personal hotspot. But both decries do not find each others, even it says NOW dicoveable ?

Same to me. Got a new IPad 3 and once it worked to use the pasonal hotspot on my IPhone 3GS device. If I now switch on personal hotspot on the IPhone the IPad can see the IPhone in Bluetooth but can not connect. The IPhone won't show the IPad at the Bluetooth device list.
Any solutions?

    How to enable bluetooth connection between iPhone 4 and MacBook Air?

    I used to be able to connect my iPhone 4 with my 3 yr old MacBook Pro using Bluetooth. I used my iPhone's personal hotspot more then once to access the Internet on my laptop when there was no wireless. I don't get why it wouldn't work with my new MacBook Air. That just seems silly. My laptop found my iPhone and was able to add the device, but then my iPhone wouldn't connect. Is there really no way around this??

  • Can't use internet with bluetooth connection between iPhone and macbook

    My iPhone and my macbook both show that I have a successful bluetooth connection, but I can't use the internet on my macbook.  What might be the problem?

    Basic question: Do you have a tethering plan with your carrier? It isn't automatically provisioned; you have to ask for it and pay extra with most carriers. See these tips from Apple:

  • Use iPhone personal hotspot to connect my iPad with my laptop

    I am living in school residence so I don't have a wireless connection, nor am I allowed to use a router on the school internet.
    I have an iPhone with data plan and personal hotspot. I want to watch movies on my iPad, streaming from my laptop, using some apps like VLC Streamer.
    So my questions are, can I set up a network using my iPhone, and have both my laptop and iPad connect to my personal hotspot? Will that allow me to use VLC Streamer? And will my mobile carrier charge me for the data between my laptop and iPad, which should be considered a local connection?
    Thanks a million!

    Please help me!!!

  • Problem with bluetooth connection between iPhone 5s iOS 8.1.2 and MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) Yosemite 10.10.1

    After the upgrade to iOS 8.1.2 in iPhone 5s and OS X 10.1.1 Yosemite (MacBook Pro Mid 2012) can not connect my iPhone 5s to the MacBook, the iPhone tells me: "The MacBook is incompatible" or the message "Connection Error, Make sure the Mac is turned on and is within range" even the iPhone being close to the Mac. Otherwise with the updated iPad 2 (iOS 8.1.2) is connected via bluetooth to the MacBook without any problems, Even the iPad 2 does not detect the iPhone bluetooth.
    Help me please

    An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
    If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458

  • Macbook Pro bluetooth connection to iPhone 4.

    I just purchased a Macbook Pro (latest edition) and it will not establish a bluetooth connection with my iPhone. Keep receiving the following error: The bluetooth network is unavailable... I check the phone and I have the bluetooth turned on. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Unfortunately, although you can Pair the iPhone with your MBP it only offers a limited range of functions and you can't connect to it as a network device. Don't ask me why Apple have crippled it this way ...
    Mine connects happily to my GPS and two helmet headsets and, while it's been paired and shows:
    AVRCP Device
    Audio Source
    Handsfree Gateway
    PAN Network Access Point
    Phonebook
    PnP Information
    Service Discovery
    Wireless iAP
    It always comes up "Blutooth Network Not Available" when I try and connect.
    You should be able to pair if you run Bluetooth setup Assistant though ?
    If you're after 'tethering' i.e using the iphone as your Internet access then this is dependent on your ISP allowing/enabling it. On the iPhone open Settings/Network and turn Personal Hotspot On and it will show you the password for connection. On the MBP (System Preferences/Network) you will then see 'yourname's iPhone' as a connection option for your current location and you can enter the password there - but be aware that carrier data charges and plan limits will apply! My 2GB mobile plan data gets eaten very quickly this way.

  • IPad2 connection to iPhone Personal Hotspot

    I have the iPhone4 that i got specifically to connect my iPad the Personal Hotspot feature. But the connection is not stable. As long as i am using my iPad, i don't notice any problems, but if the iPad is not used, when i go back, the connection to the Personal Hotspot is lost, and it takes a restart of the feature on the iPhone before the iPad can discover the WiFi.  Bluetooth connection is better, but still drops and requires restarting/reconnecting the iPad before it can be used.  This is not caused by going out of range of the iPhone WiFi, as i carry the iPad with me the whole time.
    An annoyance more than anything.  When connected to a "normal" wireless router, such as in my home, never see this problem.

    this being a user helping user forum where apple dont read or write nobody would be able to answer you question but you can request apple

  • Flaky bluetooth connection on iPhone 4.

    My iPhone 4 seems to have a flaky bluetooth connection stability.  I'm using it with a Bose headset, but had the same problem with a previous headset of the same type.
    The phone pairs fine with the headset, and usually works ok. But every few days, when I power on the headset, it will not connect to the phone.  Power cycling the headset a few times does not seem to help.  Only when I turn off bluetooth on the phone, and then turn it back on again before powering on the headset will I be able to establish a connection.  Then things will be ok for a several days (with 2 uses of the headset per day - back and forth commute), until the problem recurs.  I am running iOS 4.3.5 but have not made the jump to iOS5.
    Anyone else experience this problem?  And find a solution?

  • Since update, computer won't connect to iPhone personal hotspot through USB cable

    any solution ?

  • Bluetooth connection causing iPhone not to sound ring

    Suddenly it's gotten so that my iPhone4S (on Verizon) isn't ringing when Bluetooth is on.  It does get calls on the screen and it does make sound otherwise.  I turn Bluetooth off, and it always rings now.
    I suspect this may be particular with the Pansonic land-line headset/bluetooth connection I use.  It was great when working in that my land lines would ring (with the sound of my cell ringtone no less) and I could get cell calls on any headset in the house.  It used to work all the time (For several months at least and perhaps my bluetooth on this phone isn't as strong as the old 3GS?)
    Something to look out for if your phone stops ringing and can't otherwise be explained or fixed by resets etc. 

    I have an iPhone 4 and have the exact same problem as you on the same Panasonic landline.  I rebooted the landline and it worked temporarily, but soon stopped ringing.  Rebooting phone also a temporary fix.  Don't think it is a Bluetooth issue, just an Apple issue.  I went back to my Droid X and it has worked for several months with my Panasonic landline with absolutely NO issues at all.  My wife uses the iPhone 4S and the "silent" ringer issue remains.  This ***** because I REALLY like the iPhone much better, and my wife could care less, but I bought the Panasonic landline specifically for this capability for the convenience of ringing and using the landline handsets, and this feature is more important to me than anything else.  And now I wouldn't want to take the chance on any new iPhone versions in the future that this issue may come back, especially after the initial 30 day "trial" period.
    Please keep me updated should ANYONE stumble upon a solution!
    Thank you in advance!

  • X200 using iPhone personal hotspot failure

    I've got a friend with an X200. He is trying to use his iPhone 4s as a  personal hotspot. The phone is set up correctly because we can connect to it using my laptop (not an X200). My laptop connects using WPA2/AES.
    When we try connecting using Access Connections, the association fails. I tried all four modes WPA/TKIP WPA/AES WPA2/TKIP WPA2/AES. All failed. When I click on the help me fix this button and get the report here's the error and recommended actions:
    Connection status:        Disconnected
    Cause:        Association Failed
    Error code:        011
    Recommended actions:
    Verify that the encryption settings (WEP/TKIP/AES) specified in this profile match those expected by the wireless network.
    Verify that the wireless adapter in your computer has not been restricted from accessing the radio channels being used by the wireless network.
    As I said, we tried all the encryption settings and checked the key several times. The phone is using channel 2.
    This is the Adapter info:
    Adapter Details
    Adapter name        Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN                                     
    Adapter type        Wireless LAN                                                    
    Adapter speed        150.0 Mbps                                                      
    Driver/Firmware version        12.2.1.2/ N/A                                                   
    Adapter status        Enabled                                                         
    Connection Status        Disconnected                                                    
    Disable unused cards?        No
    The first fix I tried was to update the BIOS and Access Connections (5.85). Still wouldn't work and gave the same errors.
    Any suggestions as to what to try next?
    Thanks
    Solved!

  • Bluetooth connectivity with iPhone 6

    Is Apple STILL having an issue with Bluetooth connectivity in cars with the iphone6? I am getting very frustrated as I have had my iPhone since the beginning of October. Does anyone know how I can resolve the issue? I travel a lot and would graciously appreciate any help! Thanks!

    I found this in another forum:
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN, and APN settings.
    Once this is done - then delete the pairing from your iphone and then pair your phone to your car again.
    Going to try this first thing tomorrow.
