Bluetooth devices not finding or connecting to iPhone 5 after update to iOS 6.1.3?

Is anyone else having this problem? This is also happening on my ipad 4th gen. Anyone have a solution for this? It is very frustrating!

I figured it out. On the device(s) that I was trying to connect there is a function on the device that makes it discoverable by your iPhone/iPad. Some devices have an actual button that is labeled "connect" on the bottom or in an inconspicuous place on the device. Others can activate this function by long holding the action button (like that on a Bluetooth headset) for 5+ seconds until the device goes into "discover" mode. Then your iPhone/iPad should be able to find the device and you can connect. If this does not work sometimes hard resetting the actual Bluetooth device will fix the problem. You will have to research your specific device as each one has a different sequence to accomplish this. I hope this helps!

    Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5? What can I do to make it work again?

    It should. It will only respond if there's something on the card for it to respond to, so do you have pics on the card?
    And if it's messing up; try giving the iPad a restart. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see hte red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again. That can clear up any glitches on the device itself.

    If you mean you are having trouble activating your iPhone after
    updating to iOS 6:
    iOS 6.0.1
    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    My phone is from USA and unlocked version and I paid 750 USD.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    USA
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    I used BSNL - India previously. After I get problem, I used Mobily -Saudi Arabia again I got problem and I am trying to use Airtel - India.
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does It mean?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
    Airtel 13.0

    It would be better for troubleshhoting if you posted back to your original question.... here

  • IPad asking me to connect to iTunes after updating to iOS 8.1.1

    iPad asking me to connect to iTunes after updating to iOS 8.1.1
    I have iPad which was updated to iOS 8.1.1 recently and after boot up of the iPad; it is asking me to connect to iTunes.
    Please let me know what might be the issue. Why is it asking me to connect to iTunes? How will I be able to restore the iPad to a working condition.
    Thanks in advance.

    It means that the iPad has gone into recovery mode (all software has bugs, operating system updates don't always go smoothly). You will need to connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes by its cable, and that should recognise the iPad and let you reset it back to factory defaults - you can then restore to you backup, or just resent your content to it.

  • MY iphone 4s cannot connect to wifi after updating to ios 8.1.1

    after updating to ios 8.1.1, my iphone 4s cannot connect to wifi at all.
    at first, connection will show up, but when i tried to connect, i will see the wifi logo but after 15 or 30 seconds, connection will be lost again.
    i will try again, but this time, my phone will hang, i need to restart but then, wifi will not work at all.
    it will show that its searching for network but its not. then it will hang again,
    after this, give up already.
    my phone is working perfectly fine until updating my ios to 8.1.1.
    the problem is i cannot upgrade again as i cannot connect to wifi.

  • Why can't i connect to wifi after updating to iOs 6 on my iPhone 4s

    After updating to iOs 6 when I try to connect to my wifi network it pops up with the apple website and login and says the page you requesed cant be found on the pop up.??
    Confused.

    The Apple Support person walked me thru this.  If you have the classic 'greyed out' wifi problem with your iPhone 4s.  Very easily fixed:
    Read all instructions before starting:
    1.  Try to toggle on/off airplane mode check.
    2.  Try the old turn on/off trick.  Check.
    3.  Try resetting Network Settings.  Settings > General > Reset Network Settings  Check.
    4.  Ensure your phone is backed up to iCloud before proceeding.  Very important you do this.  Check.
    5.  Wipe your phone.  Settings > General > Reset All Settings.  Keep in mind this will wipe your phone but you have that iCloud back up.
    6.  Check if wifi is working.  No, then no prolbem:  You have the option to have your 4s fixed which is probably out of warranty.  No deal?  Ok, you have the option of purchasing a new phone?  Still no deal?  Proceed to next step if these options are no good and you decide to live without wifi.
    7.  Restore your phone from the iCloud.  Oh, you don't have wifi.  Then you can't restore your phone.
    This is where i got dropped off the bus.

    After updating to IOS 7.0.2 in my Ipad mini I cannot update my apps nor download new apps . It says "cannot connect to ITunes. " it's been almost 3 wks now. I have tried resetting it  and trying other options like changing the DNS to just 8.8.8 etc but to no avail. I try to run the IOS diagnostics but it couldn't verify my ticket number.

  • Cannot sign in into app store on iPhone after updating to iOS 8.2

    Hello guys,
    I'm having a problem here, I wonder if anyone else has this problem too and also have a solution for it. so, I tried to restore my iPhone by iCloud backup.. everything seemed to work well until I did chose the backup I want, after that an error pop ups saying something like "Cannot connect to this backup server." or "Cannot connect to server" I don't remember exactly so I was forced to set up my iPhone as new. I did that, everything seemed but when I tried to download some apps I obviously had to log in into my Apple ID... and every time I try to log in into App Store/iTunes store I get this error "Cannot connect it iTunes store".
    It never happened before updating to iOS 8.2
    (It happened sometime in the past when I tried to log in into app store, but after closing the settings from the task menu and re-open it again it worked)
    Check THIS post guys, I think it is happening to a lot of users.
    Thanks

    As per the Apple iCloud status page, they are having issues. Do not make changes at your end.

  • Drop off wifi connection more frequently after update to iOS 5.1

    After the system updated to iOS 5.1, the wifi connection on my iPhone 4S drops off more freqently than before. For example, when I updated Galaxy on Fire 2,  the wifi lost connection about 5 times. But the connection on my Android tablet and laptop is completely fine.
    Did anyone experience the same ?

    Check again your list of activated keyboards and make sure only English is there.  Then tap the English item once and make sure that it is set to qwerty and not qwertz or azerty under the Software category.
    If you have a "globe" key on your keyboard, you have NOT gotten rid of the non-English ones from your setting.
