Bluetooth, iPad problem.

The Bluetooth on my iPad does not see any devices to pair too. My iPhone and Mac Book locate and connect with these without a problem. What's up with that?

First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

    Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK with plug-in keyboard and mouse

    Hi, Derek -
    ...the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink.
    Sounds like Spaces is being activated somehow. With the wired keyboard and mouse in use, select the Exposé & Spaces control pane in System Preferences, click the choice in that pane for Spaces. See what the settings are. There are some activation settings in that pane - by default, F8 activates it.
    It could be that the bluetooth keyboard has some stuck keys and is activating Spaces; or that the activation command has somehow been reset to something that the bluetooth mouse, or bluetooth itself, is triggering.

  • Mac Mini Bluetooth hardware problems ?

    I own a Mac Mini Intel Core 2 Duo 1Gb bought last October, an Apple wireless keyboard and an Apple wireless mouse, both I formerly use without any problems with my old Powerbook G4. By now, I used them with my Mac Mini it worked perfectly fine. But since two or three weeks, I’ve got big Bluetooth connection problem. Randomly, after one or two hours of use, both keyboard and mouse loose connection and the Bluetooth symbol change itself into a strange one. I had a look on your site to learn the meaning of it and the symbol is see which is a Bluetooth symbol with a horizontal zebra means that no Bluetooth hardware can be found! Does my Mac Mini built-in Bluetooth card have problems?
    Since I haven’t got any wired USB keyboard or mouse I have to reboot my Mac Mini quite roughly. Sometimes one reboot is enough to make the Bluetooth of Mac Mini to work again, sometimes not and I have to wait a little bit more (more than ten minutes). I can see it works again as the Bluetooth symbol is the right one again (the one with the dots).
    It is very annoying. And I am a bit sad to have such problems with Apple stuff. Is there something I could do to avoid such a waste of time? Or shall I call Apple Care for fear it should be a hardware problem.
    Of course, I use brand new batteries for both of them.

    My mini is doing it as well. Just started doing 2-3 weeks ago. Logitech Denovo or Apple Bluetooth. Doesn't matter which. Loses it in about an hour or so. Al Keyboards and mice were purchased at about the same time as the core 2 duo mini, ~ last October.
    Must power cycle the machine to get it back and it must be paired again. Very annoying. Can't remember if it coincides with an Apple update.
    This mini has had the superdrive replaced twice, once within 6 weeks of purchase. Ever since Leopard, it's been close to the best media head. now this...
    Sigh.
    (What makes it not the best? Frontrow doesn't sort titles correctly [1, 10, 2, 3 - wrong!], doesn't force mount aliases in the movies directory, doesn't put out 1080p without hacking. And I'd so love eyeTV integration with Frontrow. It'd be perfect then.)

  • Any Bluetooth audio problems since upgrading to ICS?

    Hi.
    Was wondering if anyone has had any Bluetooth audio problems since upgrading to ICS?  In particular, have you had any stuttering and/or pauses in streaming since the upgrade?
    I use a MW600 with my phone and I get stuttering and pauses every few minutes between the phone and the MW600 which is very annoying - to the point where I can't reliably use the phone for audio any more.
    Thanks
    Savcom

    Sorry but it seems to be a problem some users are experiencing. It's already been reported so hopefully there will be a fix for this soon.

  • Having bluetooth connection problem after using Yosemite for a week

    After installing and using Yosemite for a week, I experienced bluetooth connection problems with my magic mouse and headphone, my model is macbook pro retina early 2013, hope to fix this soon

    Hello there Oranger84,
    If I understand correctly you are having some sort of Bluetooth issue between your computer and Magic Mouse and Headphones after installing Yosemite. Depending on the particular symptoms you are seeing, I would recommend the following article to help you get that resolved:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • 9780 and Playbook bluetooth connection problem

    I have never experienced bluetooth connecting problems between my 9780 and Playbook 64 previously ... but for last few days I cannot connect them. I have deleted both devices and re-paired successfully. I have turned both fully off (removed 9780 battery) and still no connection.
    I have tested both devices by successfully connecting each of them to other bluetooth devices. They just will not connect to each other for some reason.
    The only change was the recent Playbook Software update.
    I use the Bridge and Tethering all the time and so need Bluetooth to be working ... thanks for any assistance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    maybe you can uninstall then reinstall the Bridge app on your 9780.

  • Apple Bluetooth Mouse Problems ?

    Hi my bluetooth mouse is really playing up, for example when i move the mouse the tracking is really off... i have to keep disconnecting then reconnecting to make it work propley.....
    i just repaired the bluetooth connection 6 times to make the mouse work properly.... Has any one had this problem, if so what is the fix ? Also my wifi card has failed i do know the bluetooth card is on top of the wifi card maybe thats casuing the problems?
    Also i have purchased a liace usb 3.0 portable harddrive i did read some where that usb3.0 does interfere with bluetooth connections on macbooks i could be wrong ? Thanks

    Hi, Colin!
    The most closely related Apple KnowledgeBase articles to what you've described that come to mind are:
        • Apple Wireless Mouse: How to Install or Replace Batteries
        • Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Wireless Mouse: How to Check the Battery Level
        • Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse: Troubleshooting Connection Issues
        • Bluetooth: How to Set Up Your Apple Wireless Mouse. [1]
    These articles are a good place to start with troubleshooting this problem.
    When you're having trouble with your iMac G5, searching the KnowledgeBase can often be a big help. Notice that several categories of resources are available. If you have any difficulty at first adjusting to the search engine (I did), check out the ~new Search Help webpage.
    I'll post back a little later with some further comments about what I've observed of my (& other folks') difficulties and solutions with changing batteries and reconnecting, etc.
    Please post back to share your progress and to discuss this further.
    Hang in there!
    Warm regards,
    Dean
    [1] Please note that having a backup "wired" mouse may be required to resolve Bluetooth connection problems. As the "How to Set Up..." article cited above says:"Use a Wired USB Keyboard and Mouse During Setup
    
During the setup process, you'll need to use a USB mouse before the Apple Wireless Mouse can work. Keep a USB mouse connected to the computer until you've completed setting up the Apple Wireless Mouse. After setup is complete, you can disconnect the USB mouse."
    In my experience, a "wired" keyboard is only required when there's a connection problem for which using a startup keyboard shortcut is a critical troubleshooting tool.   (Some of the startup key combinations for Intel-based Macs are different.)

  • IOS 4.3 Bluetooth Headset Problem

    Does anyone have this similar problem?
    My bluetooth headset (handsfree) disconnects intermittently every few minutes (and auto reconnects in 10 to 20 secs). The "Personal Hotspot" option was disabled as I thought it was interferring with the bluetooh connection.
    But after some trial and error, I disabled the Wi-Fi option, and it solved the bluetooth disconnection problem.
    Prior to IOS 4.2, I have never encountered this problem. Does anyone know how I can downgrade back to IOS4.2?

    After upgrading to iOS 4.3, within a few days later my Jabra WAVE encountered problems with its Bluetooth connectivity. I had no problems pairing with both my iPhone4 and my MacBook (aluminium uni-body model). Unfortunately, I can't control my Jabra WAVE's volume control any more which was clearly shown on my iPhone4. Worse of all, I can hear the caller's voice but not vice versa.
    I thought my Jabra WAVE was faulty, and I tested it on Skype via my MacBook. To my surprise it worked flawlessly. I've a hunch that iOS 4.3 is still very buggy, and Apple iOS engineers haven't rectified lots of these bugs since the last version.
    This is a terrible pain for everyone who's upgraded to iOS 4.3. Bummer

    How to Bluetooth iPad to iPad

    This is not a feature of iphone, iPad or iOS, never has been.
    Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree
    telephone devices/headsets, some keyboards,
    some peer-to-peer apps from the app store and internet tethering
    where provided by the carrier.
    Other than this it will not connect to a phone/computer/device.

  • Convoy 2 bluetooth connection problems

    We have 48 Convoy 2 phones. Three of these need to use bluetooth. All three of the Convoy 2 phones that need to use bluetooth have problems staying connected to their paired devices. Two of the phones need to connect to Jawbone headsets. We have carefully followed instructions and factory reset the the Jawbones then paired them with the Covoy 2. The connections drop off/on dozens of times per day. The connection distance is only two feet. The third phone has a bluetooth connection to a Jeep Command Center for hands free phone use while driving. It has a connection distance of less than two feet. It drops the connection but does not auto reconnect. One must turn the Convoy 2 off/on to reconnect.
    Has anyone else experienced bluetooth problems with the Convoy 2? Any suggestion regarding the Jawbones? These are expensive two year old headsets with bluetooth v2.0. The Convoy 2 has bluetooth v2.1, which is supposed to be backward compatible with earlier bluetooth versions.

    Does anyone from Verizon read these posts?
    Turns out there is a Verizon Bluetooth website: here. The model of Jawbone with which we are having difficulty is not on the list of devices for the Convoy 2. Does this mean it is not compatible? We purchased the Jawbones (JBT03 and JBT04) in August 2009. The specs of these models say they are compatible with bluetooth v2.1 phones, That's the same version of bluetooth used by the Convoy 2. These Jawbones worked fine with the Verizon phones replaced by the Convoy 2. By the way, we tried pairing the Convoy 2 with a recent Motorola headset. Like the Jawbones, the communication between the Motorola headset and the Convoy 2 phone spontaneously switched off/on dozens of times per day.

  • IPad IOS 5 Bluetooth Pairing Problem

    I have iPad 1 with Brookstone Bluetooth Keyboard.  Since upgrading to IOS 5, every time I turn off the iPad it loses the pairing with the keyboard and I have to re-pair the device.  This worked fine before upgrading to IOS 5.  Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    If you called AppleCare they would have you do a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. If that did not solve the issue they would have you backup the iPad and then restore it to its factory settings. Be sure to transfer any purchases to your computer before restoring the iPad.

  • HT201205 iPad 2 bluetooth connectivity problems

    I recently purchased a Toshiba TY-SP1 bluetooth portable speaker for my iPad 2 with iOS 6.1.3....the iPad 2 does not recognize this device at all. I have a ZAGG bluetooth keybd connected with no problem.  I've tried an iPhone5 and it connects successfully.  I can also connect with my BlackBerry Bold 9900.
    I tried another iPad 2 and it has the same problem of not recognizing the TY-SP1 device.
    Toshiba says they are able to connect to an iPhone 4S successfully, but are not able to test with an iPad 2.
    Does anyone know if the iPad 2 has a limitation on the bluetooth version that iPhone 4S/5 do not have ?

    Thanks...I took this device camping where there are no wifi signals or cell service...but no luck.
    As mentioned previously, my BB Bold & iPhone5 connect easily to this device....my iPad 2 doesn't even recognize this particular Toshiba device model.  Toshiba seems to feel it is an Apple issue.
    I've disabled my bluetooth keybd and rebooted the iPad, however, same result.

  • Bluetooth connectivity problems between Macbook Pro and iPad

    Good afternoon All,
    I am having problems sending files between my macbook pro (retina display) purchased today and my ipad (also purchased today).
    They will connect and pair, but when attempting to send a file my macbook will tell me that it is not possible due to "The device does not have the necessary service."
    Anyone know of a cure for this problem?
    Thank you!

    Bluetooth in iPad was designed only to work with keyboards, earphones or speakers.  It was not designed to, nor will it work as a file sender from one device to another.  Either sync the files to your iPad from your Mac via iTunes sync, or email them, or get a cloud service like Dropbox on your Mac and then download the Dropbox app on your iPad.  Put the files in your Drobox account on your Mac, then access them via the Dropbox App on your iPad.
