Yes, BT on the iPhone only has profiles for hands-free, audio, tethering and control. It does not support file transfer profiles.

IMac 27" with Win7, Apple bluetooth keyboard not connected, STUCK.

I made a huge (and naive and stupid) mistake and now have an iMac stuck at the Win7 boot screen because it can not find the keyboard. I can't boot it back into OSX either because the keyboard OPT key is not recognized. Here is what happened:
My iMac 27" was working perfectly in dual boot mode and I could arbitrarily boot in either OS without problem since 3 months. Well, today, a friend called and said that her Apple keyboard is not recognized by Win7 on her iMac and she can not type. So I made sure that the battery is good and the green light is on, then I told her to go into the bluetooth device panel and remove the keyboard then re-pair it again. My thought was that I have done that with all bluetooth devices in Windows without problem, and Apple hardware and software is solid, so that got to work without a glitch, right. WRONG. She struggled to pair and connect the keyboard in Win7 to the point that I said I will remove my keyboard device and reconnect it so I can tell her the exact steps. Well, I learned the hard lesson with Apple stuffs myself. After removing the keyboard device, I could pair it, but not without difficulty. Then, however, does not connect, since I could not type and the device driver says that the device can not be started. Then I read messages in the Apple forum recommending to boot up in to OSX to remove the device there and boot it back into Win7 to pair it. OK. I used the mouse to shut down the Win7 and forgot that I have no keyboard now. I couldn't have used Boot Camp control panel to boot into OSX but I was so confident in Apple that I did not think about it. Now, I am stuck with a machine that boots into Windows without stopping and hangs at the first screen because the keyboard is missing. I inserted the OSX DVD in the hope that it would boot from the DVD but it does not. And the DVD is of course stuck in the drive. I am working at a remote location and do not have a usb keyboard or anything else.
Can anyone recommend a procedure to boot into OSX in my situation? Or can anyone tell me if I can pair and connect the keyboard in the BIOS? I googled but could not find anyone in a similar situation like mine. My friend can take her machine to Apple store for service, but I am in a country that has no Apple store.
Thank you very much for any hint.
tom

I don't know but I installed my Windows 7 with Bootcamp without using a USB keyboard (cuz I don't have one). But you will at least need a USB mouse though. The moment it requires me to use keyboard input for various of information the bootcamp already downloaded required drivers and updates for my wireless keyboard to work. Make sure your wireless keyboard are on and try type something on it (it goes into some sort of sleep mode when you first start it).

IOS8 8.0.2 Bluetooth will not connect to Heart rate Monitor H7

I have just switched over to the iPhone 6 and it is running the 8.0.2 IOS 8 version but it will not pick up or pair with my Heart rate Monitor. We saw the same issue when Updating to 8.0.2 on the iPhone 5. It looks like when you update to the new IOS it will break the Bluetooth connecting option to the drive that worked on IOS 7 or before.
I thought this would be an issue with the HR monitor but it works fine on any device until yu update to IOS 8. I would say this is a backwards compatibility issue with IOS 8 not connecting to devices that iPhone used to connect to in Earlier IOS versions.
Are there any plans to fix this bug in IOS 8 to allow for being able to use Devices that worked in previous IOS versions?

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

Apple Bluetooth Keyboard Not Connecting

Hello,
I have an iPad 3 (model MD340LL/A) given to me by my school and the standard Apple Bluetooth keyboard. Last year, I used the keyboard with my iPad without a problem. However, my school collected our iPads over summer and did a software reset on them and set them up with their own system (a few standard apple apps are disabled). Since I got my iPad back, my keyboard will not connect to it. The iPad is physically the same one I had last year, but the software was reset. When I press the power button on the keyboard, the light turns green for around 3-4 seconds and then turns off. It won't go into discoverable mode where the light starts flashing. we have tried connecting it to my dad's MacBook, and it sometimes shows up while searching for a device, but any attempt to connect to it ends in a pairing unsuccessful message. How can I get my keyboard to connect to my iPad? The iPad is on iOS 7.1, and I know that none of my school's changes to the iPad should affect my keyboard, since they haven't changed from last year when they worked fine.
Thanks,
Nihar

Change the battery in the keyboard.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Bluetooth will not connect to a new devicd

I have a Bose stereo system with a blut tooth adapter. It connects to mly iphone via bluetooth but my Ipad with retna display will not connect to it. Help...

Yes they have reason to.
To send a file or photo to or from a phone.
Bluetooth does that on any other phone or device.
No point in bluetooth even being in a phone if it cant be used wherever or with what devices i choose.
May as well unistall it.
Craziest thing i have ever heard " it won't connect becasue it has no reason to" it has a reason to send a photo to another device.
I would not have bought these phones if i know that.
Why isnt it in the specs?
"Phone has bluetooth that will not connect because it has no reason to"
What does it have that does not work becasue it has no reason to?

W530 - Bluetooth device not connected - Windows 8

I recently upgraded to Windows 8. Bluetooth was working fine. Today I tried to use Bluetooth only to find that it doesn't work anymore.
In the Windows 8 Device Manager (Win + X | M) the Bluetooth doesn't show up anymore unless I show hidden devices (View | Show hidden devices).
The message on the properties of every Bluetooth device is:
"Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)
To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer."
This seems to only apply to Bluetooth. WIFI is working fine.
Does anyone have any ideas what's wrong?

I have been trying to "Connect" to my laptop (running Windows 8) with an external bluetooth device (HC-05). I have tried allowing the HC-05 to me the master and initiate the connect and vice versa. I can "pair" the two devices but I am unable to "connect" Sometimes I will look in the device Manager and see that "COM5" and "COM6" ports appear under the "ports" listing. COM5 is shown to be the incoming and COM 6 is shown to be outgoing for the bluetooth adatper. When I open a serial term, the connection fails. Then when i check the COM port proerties, I see the ERROR 45. I checked the drivers and it says there are non installed. I open the Bluetooth USB Module (under Bluetooth in Device Manager) and checked it's driver. The message says they are up to date.
Thoughts?
What is the best way to update my BIOS? Do you think I am mising drivers for these (what apear to be "virtual") ports?

My Iphone 4's bluetooth will not connect.

The problem that I am having is that my bluetooth on my iPhone 4 will not connect. When you visit the bluetooth settings, the area where you would turn it off and on has a loading circle. The button never returns and doesn't allow me to turn my bluetooth on or off. I used the control panel that you can access by swiping up on the screeen; however, whenever you turn that off or on there is no change to the bluetooth. I have completely restored the iPhone a couple times using different settings hoping that it would change the outcome but no luck. I am trying to connect my iPhone 4 to a JLabs bluetooth headset and it has worked well in the past but all of the sudden it seems like my phone no longer has bluetooth. I appreciate any information you all can give me regarding the issue. Thanks and have a great day.
Best Regards,
Sean

When you restore the device as new, you are essentially reinstalling a fresh new copy of iOS 7 onto your device. This will clear out any potential software issues with the device, so it is important to not restore from a backup in order to isolate your personal files from conflict.
If the bluetooth is still not functioning after a complete factory restore with iTunes on a computer, than your device will be experiencing a hardware issue and will need to be serviced.
If you are within the 1-year warranty or have purchased AppleCare, you will be eligibile for a replacement iPhone 4 for free. If you are not within any form of warranty, then you will be subject to an Out of Warranty repair fee of $149.

Z510 : bluetooth does not connect but after reboot

Hi, My Z510 never connectss to bluetooth but after a reboot. Activating/deactivating bluetooth does not work. Any tip ? Cheers,/D

I received the following response from Nokia support:
"Thank you for emailing the Nokia Care Center.
In response to your inquiry about your Nokia N8-00, we would like to inform you that even when you set the automatic connection between the two devices, you will still need to connect manually because the Automatic connection is used for you to not to enter a passcode anymore whenever you connect your device to your Bluetooth device. For verification, visit the link provided below and kindly go to page 98:
http://nds1.nokia.com/phones/files/guides/Nokia_N8-00_UG_en.pdf
However, rest assured that your suggestion will be taken into consideration for our future reference. We are hoping for your understanding and patience regarding this matter.

In summary, Nokia thinks this annoyance is an intended "feature". This issue is NOT solved.

Logitech mx1000 bluetooth mouse not connecting

i've followed the instructions on these two pages:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth_Mouse
but i've succeeded in getting the mouse to connect only once.
basically, what i did was:
1. installed bluez.
2. set 'HIDD_ENABLE=true' in /etc/conf.d/bluetooth.
3. started bluetooth service.
4. added bluetooth to the daemons array.
5. in /etc/conf.d/bluetooth, set 'HIDD_OPTIONS="--connect <bta>"'
unfortunately, the mouse does not connect at startup. and when i try to connect manually by typing 'hidd --connect <bta>', i get an error 'Can't get device information: Connection timed out'.
when i type 'hcitool scan', nothing comes up. any ideas?
thanks!

still having the same trouble. i managed to connect the mouse once. here's what i did
1. sudo hciconfig hci0 up
2. hcitool dev
3. hcitool inq
4. sudo hidd --connect <bta>
after that, the mouse connected.
i thought everything was all right, so i edited the bluetooth file to connect the mouse at boot.
to test, i rebooted, but the mouse didn't connect. also, when i try to connect it manually by following step 4 above, all i get is: 'can't get device information: connection timed out'.
how can i connect the mouse?

Why Bluetooth is not connecting

Why Bluetooth is not at all discovering any devices

devices generally have to be put in pairing mode before they show up on the list for pairing with iphone
also not all bluetooth profiles are supported this is a list of supported devices

Bluetooth does not connect

My iphone5 bluetooth does not pair with either of two devices after my phone was exchanged. Is there something I'm missing, or something I can do? Do I need to go back to the Apple Store?

Resetting PRAM did not change anything. Resetting SMC was the solution (and a very simple - just pull the plug and have a beer). Thanks for helping to get rid of the nightmare.
The question, however, is why does this happen so oftenly? It took me about 6 hours to check all potential culprits. The incidence that caused the problem was a simple breakdown of an application that has nothing to do with bluetooth. After that, my system has generated hundreds of false messages and indications that everything would function perfectly. My keyboard was accepted, some other devices, too. But I have not been able to change anything without attaching non-bluetooth devices. Before that I needed to use another computer to learn about it. Who, in **** owns, a battery of input devices and additional computers to hunt for the culprit?
Dear Mr. Apple: Think! But efficiently.

My iPhone 4S Bluetooth will not connect with either my iPad1, MacBook Pro or Automobile BT. Suspect a stack issue in new BT 4.0 (BTLE) release. Has any one discovered fix to this. I have tried this with two separate 4S phones and have same problem..

One further clarification. I am most concerned with connecting with BT in automobile. I can use WiFi to tether to my other devices. I cannot change the car very easily! My iPhone 3G had no connection issues.

I'm new. Same bluetooth problem. Will not pair with my 2010 VW GTI w NAV system, or my MacBook Pro 17" (just discovered the MacB prob.)
When I initially discovered the problem I went to an Apple Store. Genius was excellent but requested that I check with VW. VW people were very helpful. A mechanic had an iphone 4s. He came out to the car ... He could not pair my phone but he could pair his phone ... So, it's the iphone ... Back to the Apple Store ... the genius was really good. He replaced the iphone. Great ! So, back out to the car & it would not pair, still. So ... can't be the phone , right. Back to VW. The Audi manager had an iphone 4S. He paired his phone with my car. He could not pair my phone to my car. He tries my phone in a new 2011 GTI sitting on the lot ... my phone pairs with it just fine. So ... it's my car. So ... make an appointment to get the bluetooth module replaced. They replace the Bluetooth module. My iphone will not pair. They end up pairing 2 different iphone 4S to my car ... but not my iphone 4S. My iphone 4S will also not pair with another 2010 GTI they have in for service. Though the 2 iphone 4S
pair with the second GTI just fine. They even try pairing my iphone with a brand new 2012 GTI in the showroom ... yep ... it paired fine. So ... ????????????????
They are going to update my nav software next (tomorrow), Hopeful ??? not really ... Will be taking my computer to Apple Store next ... maybe if they can discover why it will not pair to my MacBook Pro it will lead to a solution for the GTI ??? I'll get back to you.
