Bluetooth in 4s and Iphone 5..still the same useless not working.. why is that?

We got frustrated with Iphone when my friend bought 4s and we tried to connect to my BB ...but nothing... then I got an Iphone 5 hopefully i could use the bluetooth still the same... funny thing is... the devices we were trying to be connected were really near my phone but still it didnt detect nor recognize... what seems to be the problem???

There is no problem. Your iPhone is working exactly as intended.
You cannot connect an iPhone to ther non-iOS devices for file sharing. There are apps in the AppStore that allow sharing of photos etc. via Bluetooth between iOS devices.
Here are the Bluetooth profiles supported by iOS:

What exactly are you attempting to do via Bluetooth?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Does the iphone 5 and iphone 5s use the same case

    Does the iphone 5 and iphone 5s use the same case

    Twice now you've given this useless answer.  What's the point in even replying?
    Case dimensions look to be identical, but some cases will hinder the fingerprint scanner.  My Griffin Survivor will fit my brothers 5s easily, but as the home button is entirely covered, it's useless to him.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Bluetooth keyboard K810 and mouse T630 at the same time, repeating keys and mouse starts to stutter

    I use a Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 2, Windows 8.1(core edition), x86 (32bit).
    If I pair a Bluetooth keyboard K810 and mouse T630 at the same time, with Wifi On, the keyboard starts repeating the keys and the mouse starts to stutter. Especially if WiFi is under load (when downloading something).
    This doesn’t happens if I pair only the keyboard, or if I pair mouse and keyboard with Wifi OFF.
    If I pair a Bluetooth keyboard and use a USB mouse with Wifi ON, everything works fine.
    If I pair a Bluetooth mouse and use a USB keyboard with Wifi ON, everything works fine.
    I think it is an issue with two Bluetooth devices paired at the same time with Wifi ON.
    So here is a summary:
    BT mouse and BT keyboard / Wifi ON ----> repeating chars and the mouse starts to stutter (bug)
    BT mouse and BT keyboard / Wifi OFF ----> works fine
    Only BT keyboard / Wifi ON ----> works fine
    Only BT mouse / Wifi ON ----> works fine
    USB mouse and BT keyboard / Wifi ON ----> works fine
    USB keyboard and BT mouse / Wifi ON ----> works fine
    Where is the problem? Is there any solution?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have solved the problem. In the Wlan-Drives-Settings there is the "Bluetooth Collaboration" option. I put the value to "Disable" and now works everything like charm.
    Best regards, jC
    Broadcom manual:
    Bluetooth Collaboration
    Bluetooth Collaboration enables general purpose input/output transmit suppression protocol between the IEEE 802.11 media access control (MAC) and an external Bluetooth chip to minimize transmit interference. Bluetooth Collaboration is enabled by default.

    My mac, ipad and apple tv share the same itunes account.  Why do movies rented from itunes on my ipad or mac not show up in my apple tv?  is there a way to get them there?

    Rentals are one-time only downloads, they will not show on other devices/computers for redownloading.
    If you rent a film on your iPad or Apple TV then you can only watch it on that device. If you rent it on your Mac then you can move it from there to your iPhone or your Apple TV (if it's a first gen Apple TV) : FAQs about renting movies from the iTunes Store :
    If you rented the movie on your computer, you can move it to an iOS device or Apple TV (1st generation). To do this, connect the devices and sync using USB. When you move a rented movie from your computer, it will disappear from your computer’s iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as much as you want, but you can only have it on one device at a time.
    If you rented the movie on your iOS device or Apple TV, you can’t move it to any other device.

    iMac, iOS 6

    HI,
    If your old version of iTunes is still working - then I sugest you stick with that.
    iTunes 11 is a lousy update - It will not retain your playlists, you can't find and delete duplicates... and a whole arry of oyher issues. (have a look around this forum to see how many issues IT11 gives people)
    Just a friendly advise and warning :-)

  • IPAD 4 screen flicker in App store as well as browsing via safari and vdownloader. I tried restore and reset, but still the same...

    Hi everyone,
    I just have my new Ipad4 last January 27, I noticed that while downloading a certain Apps in App Store then scrolling to look for more application, my screen would flicker like flashing or something blinking on it. I don't know what happened, why is it like that? Is it somewhat connected with hardware problem or does Ios 6 version still have a bug? I've tried using safari and other video downloader like vdownloader and I tried searching in youtube, still the same dilemma, it flicker also while browsing some video. Is it hardware problem? I already reset and restore my IPAD thou its a new one still the same dilemma happened again. What should I do? It was a gift for me and I'm really worried about it. Hope you could help me regarding it. Thank you so much.

    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • How do I sync both an iPad and iPhone 4 to the same iMac?

    I am combining the functions of a PC desktop and PC Laptop onto a new iMac. I do have VMware's Fusion to run Windows 7 Home Premium, but I'd really like to sync both my iPad (first generation) and iPhone 4 to the Mac and move away from the Windows platform. I used to sync each device to a separate PC. How can I sync both devices to the iMac? In addition, with iCloud, can I determine which apps are synced to each device since some apps are designed for the iPhone and don't have corresponding iPad versions (with full screen size). There are apps for the iPad only that shouldn't be synced to the iPhone. I'd appreciate any advice from folks who sync two portable devices to one Mac system.

    Just plug the two devices into the Mac, as if the other one didn't exist. iTunes will keep them separate and allow you control sync of apps and media content as you wish.
    As to iCloud, for the iTunes in the Cloud feature, if you use the same iTunes Store account on both the iPad and the iPhone, you'll want to turn off the automatic download option in the Settings -> Store preference pane on your devices. Then you can sync, download and update as you wish on each device.
    Regards.

  • TS2634 My Ipod Touch has a cracked screen at the top. The unlock slider does not work. I have loaded the latest software onto the Ipod and iTunes but still the slider will not operate. Is the cracked screen the problem?

    To get pass the passcode lockscreen, recovery mode and restoring should help: iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    If the issue continues after updating and restoring your device, refer to this document.
