Bluetooth connects but will not pair to device

Iphone 5 running on 7.1.2. bluetooth connects to CAR KIT but will not pair (does not ask for code after connecting). audio only plays from phone and not through the speakers connected by bluetooth. I have done the apple trouble solution steps and the problem still persists. any help would be appreciated. the device is compatible with iPhone.

Hey there jrf07d,
It sounds like your phone is not pairing to your vehicles bluetooth connection. I would recommend these steps to get it paired, from the following article:
iOS: Troubleshooting Bluetooth connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4562
On your iOS device, tap Settings > Bluetooth and find your device in the list. If your device says Not Connected, tap the name of your accessory to attempt to connect it.
Tap Settings > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth off and then on again.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Bluetooth and locate the Bluetooth accessory you are currently connected to or attempting to connect to. Then tap and "Forget this Device". Try to pair your Bluetooth accessory again.
You may need to your Bluetooth accessory PIN again if your accessory requires one. Some common PINs are 0000, 1111, and 1234.
Restart your Bluetooth accessory by turning it off and then on again1.
Update your device to the latest version of software. See how to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
If your Bluetooth accessory has upgradable firmware, check to see that you have the latest version1, 2.
Can't pair to a Bluetooth accessory
If you see the word "Connected" next to a Bluetooth accessory in Settings > Bluetooth, your iOS device is already paired to a Bluetooth accessory. Remember, you can only connect to one Bluetooth accessory at a time.
If your Bluetooth accessory requires a PIN for pairing, be sure that you are entering the correct PIN1.
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.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus 3.0) is recognised by my iMac but will not pair? I have paired it with my iPad using code 8310 but it still will not pair with my iMac. Can someone help please?

My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus brand - bought recently in Thailand)(similar to Mac small keyboard) will pair with my iPad using code 8310,and is recognized by my iMac but will not pair?
There are very scant instructions with the keyboard and no mention of any code (the code was prompted by my iPad).
I have followed the instructions but it still will not pair with my iMac!
Can anyone help please?
My iMac is 20 inch Mid 2007 OSX10.9.1 4GB RAM

Hi All, thank you for you suggestions. I have been unable to find any website for the maker, but have looked at several Thai/cambodian sites incl <http://www.buycoms.com/Article/8435/index.asp> which mentions the keyboard being suitable for tablet or windows. No mention of iMac! although the box is branded to indicate Mac compatable.
I'm thinking that maybe it just will not pair with an iMac.
Ill keep looking for the maker website, which might come on later in the future? maybe?
thanks again.

I have updated to iOS8. Now cannot connect to BT speaker I have been using for months. BT discovers it but will not pair. Help please

I have updated to iOS8. Now cannot connect to BT speaker that I have been using for months. BT discovers it but will not pair. I have tried switching both off & on but nothing helps.

I am sure the BT speaker not the problem because it works fine with iOS8 on my iPad!
... And no I am not trying to connect both at once. To be sure I have switched the iPad off completely and switched the speaker off & on but still with the same failure to pair. The iPhone sees the speaker but then gives me the pairing unsuccessful message when asked to connect.

HT1222 Certain wifi's will not work on my iPad, it will show that it's connected but will not connect.

Certain wifi's will not work on my iPad, it shows it's connected but will not connect.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
The Apple store will do this for you, you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google.

IPad finds bluetooth Altec speaker but will not pair

I had been using the Altec Lansing in motion Soundblade bluetooth speaker with my iPad with no problem. I brought it on vacation and paired it with another device, and now the iPad will not pair with it. It finds it when it searches, but when it says "not Paired" in the box next to the device number. When I choose it to pair, it thinks for a few seconds and goes back to not paired. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Do you have the other device that it was paired with? Sometimes you have to un-pair a device before you can pair with another. For the iPad you do this by douching the button that say forget this device. Removing the battery from the speakers for a little while may also work.

Ipad has wifi connection but will not download

Hi, I'm having an issue with my Ipad 2 iOS 7.1.2, it only started happening last night. IPad can see and is joined to wifi but will not download or send anything. Always times out after spinning wheel.
Have tried connecting to and joined, various wifi routers in other houses. So know it's not the router. Still no Download or send.
Have done a hard reset.
Have reset the network settings.
Any other suggestions. I'm at a bit of a loss.
Oh and the iPad is away from my mac so can not reinstall or restore.

Howdy PJRS,
It sounds like you are unable to access the internet on your iPad, but you are indeed connected to a Wi-Fi network. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article to help you get that resolved:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Unable to access the Internet while connected to Wi-Fi
If you're using a public or commercial network, you may need to log in or subscribe.
Check to see if you have a self-assigned IP address:
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected and tap .
If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, you may not be able to access the Internet.
If you do not have a self-assigned IP address, see if other Wi-Fi devices on your network have Internet access.
If they do not, consult with your network administrator or ISP for further assistance.
If they do, reset network settings on your device by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Camcorder connected but will not import or show video

I have a Sony Digital 8 camcorder that used to work well with imovie. Although I have it connected and the blue screen states that the camcorder is connected, imovie will not import the video nor will it show it playing. When I rewind or fast-forward, it will show the counter but I will not get a picture. The play, fast forward and rewind buttons in imovie will operate the camcorder but no image or sound. The import button shows that it is being pressed but still no results. Aill I get is the blue screen with its message of camera connnected.
I have used different tapes, verified that the tapes have content, rechecked the connections and reset the permissions. Could use any and all advice.
Thanks
Rich
Mini Mac Mac OS X (10.4.1)

Hi Richard
In rare cases this can have happened.
A. Try Your Camera on another Mac. OK - Then skip the rest !
B. Control the 6-pin end of Your FW-cable and the connector on Your Mac so
that it is not broken.
As You see it is Non-symetrical BUT it can be forced in upside down and if
You use back side connecter it is even easier while it's hard to see what's
going on.
If this has happened = You have a broken Camera.
It will be controlable by iMovie
will record and play normally via lens/analog connector
but - NO import or export via FW-connector
Analog/digital chip blown. Expencive repair.
Yours Bengt W

My mac is connected but will not display webpages

My mac says I'm connected to wireless interent, but will not display the webpage. It says that it is not connected to the interent. My hp computer is working though. Does anyone know what is causing it not to connect to the interent and what I can do to get it to connect?
Thanks

Make sure in the network settings that you arent trying to connect to the internet through a Proxy server, unless you actually are of course. Make sure the connection you are using is set to get its IP address via DHCP automatically, and that the router you are connecting to is set up to do so.

My Bluetooth connects, but does not recoginize my voice and does not read out text over the bluetooth

I connect my Bluetooth (Moto Hint Bluetooth Ear bud) or my Samsung Bluetooth. It says connected but when I receive a call and say answer it does not answer the call, nor does it read out who is calling. I have allowed both devices to access my phone book/contacts. These devices worked fine on my Samsung Galaxy S4, but don't seem to work on the Motorola Turbo. Did I forget or miss something when setting up my phone? I even erased the Cache Partition thinking maybe somehow that is the problem, but nothing. Thanks!

Ensuring your Bluetooth is working is very important jwralston. Especially if you are driving. Has this ever worked for you? If so, when did you start experiencing difficulites? What make and model Bluetooth are you using?
Thank You,

Usb connected but will not sync iphone

I'm trying to sync my grandma's iPhone but it will not. i get it under the devices section but can't sync it.I have the latest iTunes, and Internet. help me please.

Solution:
I fixed it! It seems some files in the iPod were corrupt. Here's the resolution:
1. Put the iPod into Disk Mode (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363)
2. Connect it to the PC. If iTunes starts, close the program.
3. Use Windows Explorer to browse the files on the iPod device. In my case, it was showing as drive G:(IPOD).
4. You may need to configure Windows Explorer to show hidden files: in the Tools / Folder Options / View tab, select the "show hidden files and folders" option.
5. In my case, there was a file \bootex.log showing that some files were corrupt. I deleted the files it listed.
6. There was also a folder \found.000 containing recovered file fragments. I deleted all the .CHK files in this folder.
7. Look in the folder \iPod_Control and you will see a folder called iTunes (it's a hidden folder). I renamed this folder to iTunes-OLD.
8. Using the Windows "safely remove hardware", stop the iPod device.
9. Reset the iPod (hold the centre & menu button till the Apple appears).
10. Reconnect the iPod and start iTunes (if it doesn't start itself).
11. It will now recognise the iPod. You may have the re-load the library and settings, but at least it now works!
Good luck!
