Bluetooth pairing no longer working

Since upgrading to IOS7.0.3 my phone will no longer pair with the bluetooth in my car.  This is the only reason I can think of why the pairing would no longer complete.  Nothing else has changed.  Any ideas?

Hello elgreeneyez,
I recommmend taling a look at this article named iOS: Third-party Bluetooth headsets, headphones, and keyboards found http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1664.
Its kind of long, but its pretty thorough.
All the very best,

  • Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard no longer works after OSX update

    After installing the latest OSX update yesterday (something about iChat encryption), Apple Bluetooth Keyboard no longer works with my iMac.
    When I restarted the iMac after installation was completed, the iMac would no longer recognise my Bluetooth Apple wireless keyboard. I've tried with 2 other Apple wireless keyboards as well, but to no avail. None of them work with the iMac any longer. All 3 keyboards work with my PowerMac Quad G5 though.
    The iMac "sees" the keyboards, but the pairing doesn't go through because the iMac doesn't seem to recognise the keystrokes when entering the pairing code.
    I had to go out and buy myself a Microsoft wired keyboard to be able to restart the iMac (couldn't enter the login password without a keyboard).
    My bluetooth mighty mouse works flawlessly though.
    Very frustrating. Can anyone help?

    And yes I checked the batteries.

  • Ipad IOS 8 Bluetooth speakers no longer work

    Upgraded Ipad 3 to IOS 8 and Boston Acoustics Bluetooth speakers no longer work.  The speakers pair with the Ipad, but connection drops when opening any app that attempts to use the bluetooth connection.  Seems like the updated IOS blutooth driver is the problem.  I tested with Iphone 4, Iphone 5, ipad 2  running  IOS 7
    and all work fine.  Tested with Iphone 6 plus, Ipad 3, Ipad 2 using IOS 8 and none of the IOS 8 devices work...   Also did the IOS 8 patch and did not fix this issue.
    The Boston Acoustics Speakers supports Bluetooth v2.1 + EDR, A2DP v1.2
    Seems like Apple can't get the wireless side right, IOS 6 had issues with Wifi and Bluetooth muting, that was corrected in IOS 7, now another wireless problem that makes these $350 speakers a boat anchor..... and not usable.
    Perhaps they need to hire some RF / Wireless engineers and do a better job of regression testing...  I am a wireless engineer and know that we never make hardware or software upgrades without extensive inter op testing and friendly user trials...

    I have this same exact issue with my Boston Acoustics SoundWare XS Digital Cinema 2.1 system. Any other device can connect just fine including all of my previous iPhones and Android devices, but my new iPhone 6 will not keep the connection. Strange because the iPhone 6 will connect and work perfectly fine with my Plantronics Voyager Legend and my JBL Flip bluetooth. What happened guys, Mr. Jobs passed and you all forgot how to do proper QA? This type of foolishness is expected from Microsoft, not Apple.

  • HT201401 My bluetooth is no longer working in the car - it keeps 'searching' for devices

    My bluetooth is no longer working in the car - it keeps 'searching' for devices.  Anyone ever had this issue?
    Thanks

    Can you connect from your phone to another BT device, not the car?  If you haven't ,I'd try a reset of the phone by holding the home and power button down.  Next step would be to talk to your dealership and see if they have any ideas. Sometimes software can either get updated on iOS or on the vehicle and it can cause problems.  Every dealership seems to have a go-to person that handles issues like this.  Getting to know him or her well and getting their direct phone number will pay big dividends.  A device restore might be necessary, but if it were me I'd talk to the dealership first. 

  • Bluetooth headset no longer work after latest update

    I use a Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset for Skype calling and Ventrillo on my Macbook Pro. Since after the latest update, it no longer works. Both input and output doesn't work and the applications hang for about 30 seconds. I've tried re-pairing the device to no avail. Both applications work if I switch them to the built-in microphone.
    I also tried doing the same thing with a Plantronics 245 and I get the same issue.
    Both headset work with my phone.

    FIXED!!!!
    Steps to UNF*ing your Mac.
    1) Install an app called Pacifist
    2) Download the individual installer for the Magic Touch Update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1066 DO NOT INSTALL THIS
    3) Load your OSX Install DVD
    4) Open the MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpd1.0.dmg in Pacifist
    5) Open your OSX Installer DVD in Pacifist
    6) Look at the MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpd1.0.dmg package in Pacifist to see exactly what it installed and where.
    7) Find these SAME EXACT FILES on the OSX Installer and reinstall them as root (e.g. using your admin password when asked)
    8) Repair permissions (Do NOT skip this)
    9) Reboot
    10) MOST IMPORTANT: Never install the update again!!
    Your bluetooth headset will work in skype after this. You will replace EVERY FILE THE MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpd1.0.dmg package installed with one from the DVD. If you can not find it, the search bar in Pacifist works wonders.
    You will get an error if you try to reinstall admin.framework about not having permission to install. This will be the ONLY file you will not reinstall.
    Yes, you have more or less, in a very complicated fashion uninstalled the update (software update shows the Magic Touch update as needed afterwards).
    Find me on Skype, where I will be able to walk you through it from my Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset at james.t.bolin
    In case you developers want to know, I'll give you my play by play. After the installation of the update, it borked the bluetooth causing Skype to freeze. Reinstalling all the original kexts from the installer disk fixed the skype freezing issue, but there was still no audio. In fact, after reinstalling everything in the System>Library folder still left me with no audio, but it would not freeze or cause kernel panics at this point.
    This is where I got the magic. I started replacing stuff in the usr directory. Upon replacing the usr>libexec>cups>backend>bluetooth; usr>libexec>hidd; usr>sbin>blued; and the blue.8 and hidd.8 files, I got audio back and the stars aligned in perfect harmony. I suspect apple needs to retool the kexts and rewrite the root level profiles.

  • Bluetooth tethering no longer working - iPhone 3GS (iOS4.1) and Macbook Pro

    Hi all,
    I don't understand why this is not working anymore. In the past I had successfully paired & used a bluetooth tethered connection between my Macbook Pro (OSX 10.6.4) & my iPhone 3GS (pre 4.1). The network connection was working and I was able to surf the web/use MSN etc. This is not a feature I have used in quite some time and for some reason now it is not working. I have done several upgrades on my phone since I last used it, currently on iOS 4.1.
    Lets pretend I am starting from scratch and my Macbook & iPhone do not know each other, devices have been forgotten on both.
    - iPhone & Macbook both are on & discoverable
    - On Macbook Pro I select "Set Up Bluetooth Device"
    - Macbook scans and detects my iPhone, I select "Continue"
    - Macbook connects with iPhone & displays 6 digit pin, also pairing notification is shown on iPhone with the same 6 digit pin
    - I select "Continue" on Macbook & "Pair" on iPhone
    - Connection is made, iPhone is now listed on Macbook and vice versa
    - From bluetooth menu (on Macbook) in the iPhone device menu I select "Connect to Network". Error is displayed on Macbook "The bluetooth network is unavailable. There was a problem connecting to your device..." & on my iPhone an error "Connection Unsuccessful. Make sure iPhone is turned on and in range".
    - When I try to connect from the iPhone an error is displayed "Connection Unsuccessful. iPhone is not supported" with a button to Forget Device.
    What... the ****?
    This has worked in the past without a hitch. Has something changed between say iOS 3.x and 4.1 that might cause this to no longer work for me.
    Any protips are greatly appreciated!

    Don't feel like a noob, my settings changed after the last update without warning and I was having the same issue as you until I found your post that alerted me to the fact that my internet tethering might be off!
    So for others out there that are having this issue to turn tethering on go to Settings > General > Network > Internet Tethering > On
    Thank you!! I had already wasted over an hour repeatedly syncing and unsyncing my darn bluetooth connection.

  • Keyboard shortcuts no longer work iOS 8.3. Triple tap Home button on Bluetooth keyboard no longer works either. Help!

    Since updating my iPad Third Generation ("New iPad") to iOS 8.3, Keyboard Shortcuts no longer work. Also on my Logitech EasySwitch Bluetooth Keyboard, triple tapping the home button on it no longer works to trigger Accessibility, even though that is still set up for triple tap in Settings and continues to work on the iPad itself. How can I get these functions back? Wah!

    TEmporary solution at iOS 8.3 keyboard shortcuts. Old bug reappeared.

  • Bluetooth mouse no longer works

    My Microsoft Bluetooth 5000 mouse no longer works after install of the latest 10.6.4 update
    any reason this could be? (Also forgive the use of a microsoft mouse haha)

    I had the same issue since the latest OSX upgrade. Bluetooth mouse 5000 just stopped working and couldnt be set up again.
    I installed the latest Intellipoint 8 drivers from microsoft.
    google microsoftmouse_d279.dmg and run it.
    reboot the mac after installing.
    going through the usual mouse setup in system preferences still gives you the same error so forget that. Instead, go to Bluetooth settings and add new device manually. finds the mouse and connects.
    hope this helps.
    BTW.. BT mouse 5000 is the best mouse i own and i have many!!! was devastated when it stopped working. Happy to be using it now again...

  • Bluetooth connection no longer working in VW Touareg

    I updated the software on my iPhone 6 plus to 8.1.3 and now am no longer able to connect my phone to the car through bluetooth. after several failed attempts (the message I received was "Unable to Connect") I reset to factory settings and when I attempted to pair my iphone it showed my phone as incompatible.
    Is anyone else experiencing this? When is this going to be fixed?

  • Bluetooth headsets no longer working after latest update

    Has anyone else run into this, &/or resolved it?
    our btooth headsets were working (barely) w our Mbook Pros. the latest s/w update completely killed it completely.
    the system recognizes the devices, but no audio will work. I've tried everything I've found on it:
    - deleted and repaired the headsets
    - cleared the PRAM
    - deleted the btooth audio profiles
    - hardset the headset use for the various apps
    any idea if Apple is aware that this problem exists, or any ideas as to how to pass it on?
    For the first time in a year, I'm missing my Dell laptop, and may have to consider going back to the darkside if this continues. Our side business relies on Skype, and using wired headsets won't cut it for long.....
    I am really surprised that the btooth support in OS X is so poor -- really didn't expect this to be a problem.

  • S11 flex Bluetooth headset no longer works with ios7

    Unit connects but sound plays through iPhone or iPad. S11 is not available (even though connected) in Airplay Listing. If I hold down  mute button SIRI come on through head set. If I tell SIRI to play play list the playlist plays but music still plays through speakers on iPhone

    I have a similar problem -- iPhone5, when I installed IOS 7 the S11 Motorola HD headset is NOT an option in airplay for the itunes Music player. S11 can be used for calls.  S11 is also NOT an option for Pandora OR TuneIn Radio.  However... I have a big Jambox AND appleTV that BOTH show up as working options on the iphone (thankfully). 
    Here is the kicker -->  The S11 DOES show up as Music player output option on my IOS7 iPad3 !!! It also allows jambox or appleTV as output options.   Seems like the problem lies with Iphone5, bluetooth,IOS7, and the S11 Motorola headset interface. 
    This is a BUG !!!!   Please fix it.

  • Bluetooth calls no longer work in car since upgrading to ios 8

    upgraded my 5S to iOS 8 on Sep 19 and now cannot make or receive calls in my car or my bluetooth headset. I have reset my phone, deleted bluetooth connection and repaired, updated my car's software and all to no avail. I'm sure Apple will blame my car (2014 bmw x6m) but my Plantronics bluetooth headset doesn't connect either. Please update ASAP, this is crazy and last straw I think. I hated but followed along when they changed the charging ports to lightning but I can't take this anymore. I live where its illegal to be on the phone in my car so I need this and I'm tired of my Android friends laughing at me and never mentioning these type of connection/compatibility issues.

              Was in the Apple Stor this morning in Indianapolis and picked up a Bluetooth keyboard to use with my iPad mini 2. Sadly neither I nor staff could get it to work with voiceover working. The staff, both sales and tech, appeared as shocked as I was. I was surprised that over 6 months Apple had not fixed this issue. Now I am wasting my time trying to back up reports of this problem on Apple's website. I know Apple over the last 10 years had given a lot of us so many advancements, but maybe that's changing? All I know is that as a busy professional, Apple has cost me about 4 hours of lost productivity today. I wish I could charge them for it!       

  • Bluetooth Motostream no longer working after upgrade

    I can connect but once i do nothing will play anything with sound, Chrome, Safari, iTunes, none will play anything. Videos won't start, iTunes won't even pretend to play.
    The really impressive thing is that I can't play anything even through the internal speakers or headphone jack until i reboot. No matter what output I select in System Prefs nothing plays till a reboot.
    I'm sort of presuming this is just f*cked till Apple figures out how to work BT again, but if anyone has any great ideas or has figured this out i'd love to hear about it.
    PS The motostream worked fine with Mavericks and still works fine with my iPhone 6.

    Hi Hilde,
    1. please have a look in the Visual Admin Tool -> Services -> EISConnector ans see if the SAP Connector is deployed there. if you see it there, so it is deployed.
    2. try to remove and add agian the SAP Connector (in the same place as from section one)
    3. why dont you use the last Portal Patch and J2EE patch?
