Bluetooth Problems With iPhone 6

With the latest iOS on iPhone 6 is there still problems with Bluetooth connectivity? I have a FitBit, a Plantronics Marque 2, and a Casio STB-1000 watch that will not stay constantly connected. Since the later two were new, I was blaming them until I started having problems with the Fitbit which I never had problems on my iPhone 5 and seeing others having problems. Come on Apple, with all the people having problems we need a fix.

3 problems with iPhone 3GS, iOS 5

1. I deleted the movies and tv shows from my iPhone via iTunes, but when i look in Videos, they are still there. When i check the remaining space on my phone with iTunes, it shows that the videos are taking up 4.4 GB.
2. This is more of a problem with iTunes, but every time i try to sync movies or photos, it attempts to sync all my apps from the computer to the iPhone as well.
3. I cannot delete podcasts through iTunes.
An answer would be very much appreciated.
EDIT: When i go to the Movies and Tv Shows tab in iTunes, the movies aren't there. But they are still on my phone an watchable.

I tried restoring my iPhone through iTunes, but it said the internet connection timed out. I'm doing a reset using the phone itself now.

Bad Bluetooth behavior with iPhone 4S / iOS 5.0.1

I'm having a very strange issue with my iPhone 4S the last few days. I own a Hyundai Sonata, which has built-in Bluetooth for hands-free use, and it's been paired with my 4S since the day I got it (and my old 3G before that).
Up until a few days ago, BT has worked flawlessly: Everything auto-connects when I start up the car, incoming and outgoing calls would automatically use the Sonata's BT system, and the Music app could independenty play audio over the Kensington AUX connector dock cable I own.
But the last few days, even though the phone shows the BT logo in the status bar and my car shows it's connected, and even though checking the Settings app shows everything is connected, calls refuse to use the BT audio (either incoming or outgoing). Even stranger is what happens I tap the Audio Sources button in the Phone app -- I see "Sonata" listed in the options, as well as "Dock Connector" and "Speaker". But tapping "Sonata" does absolutely nothing; it stays locked on "Dock Connector". Restarting the phone has no effect, and I've found I have to shut off BT in the Phone and turn it back on to get the phone working right again.
Even weirder was what happened this morning. I got another call, and again I had to shut off BT and turn it back on (after pulling over ). But then, when I went back to the Music app, I saw "Sonata", "Dock Connector", and another option I'd never seen before (can't remember the name now). This time, tapping "Dock Connector" was useless, and I had to play everything over BT for the Music app (but at least the phone was working).
My normal flow when I get into the car is this:
1) Start the car
2) Wait for BT to connect
3) Connect the AUX cable to the dock port for power and music playback
4) Fire up my music / podcasts
This saves me from having to use the AirPlay controls to select the audio source, since reversing steps 2 and 3 causes audio to play back over BT by default once that's connected, and I don't want to do that when I've got a nice AUX connection. I've been doing this for months without issue, so I don't think it's cause and effect.
Likewise, in all the cases where this has happened, I had the Music player open and playing a podcast at 2x, but again I don't think this is the cause, either -- I've played podcasts at 2x before and didn't have these connectivity problems when a call came in.
Are others having this issue? I haven't tried a "hard reboot" yet (holding Home and Sleep/Wake until screen goes dark and then comes back with the Apple logo), but I'm getting sorely tempted.
Thanks in advance!

If your phone was hacked to unlock from another carrer, when you updated it was re-locked to the original carrier.

Bluetooth problems with car and iOS 8

Since I uploaded the new iOS 8 on my iPhone 5s I can't get the bluetooth connection working anymore in my Volvo XC60. It pairs but then it doesn't work. Can't receive calls, can't make calls. Nothing happens! It just says "Calling" and the number shows, but nothing happens. I tried also to pair my old iPhone 4 which has iOS 7.1.2 and that works great, just as my iPhone 5S did before with the iOS 7.1.2 version. So this really seems like an iOS 8 issue, unless something has happened with the bluetooth hardware in my iPhone 5S... Any ideas?

Hello,
I have an iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S under 7.1.2 and they work perfectly with my car bluetooth (Land-Rover).
I have now an iPhone 5S, that was delivered with iOS 7.1.2 and after updating in OTA mode to iOS 8, it worked fine also with my car.
BUT I preferred to make a clean install of iOS 8 on the 5S (bad idea ...), and now it does not work anymore, I can pair and connect the phone with the car, but it is impossible to send or receive a call and the car says "no signal" (for GSM network).
After resetting network preferences, the car sees the GSM network again (but impossible to send or receive a call ...), and after rebooting the phone, the car says "no signal" again (and of course no call).
I have tried to unpair, pair again, reset again network preference, but no succes.
I think that obvioulsly iOS 8 is faulty, and Apple guys, if you read me, I think it is really a pitty from Apple to deliver this OS with such bug without giving possibility to downgrade !!! (if possible, I would immediatly come back to iOS 7.1.2, waiting for the fix).
I HOPE it will be fixed quickly now !!!

Bluetooth problems with iPhone 3G

Does anyone know why my iPhone 3G will only find some bluetooth devices and not others? Since i got it i have only been able to successfully pair with my Samsung bluetooth ear piece.
Cheers
Rob

What devices are you trying to pair with? Note that the iPhone only supports protocols for voice and music, not for file sharing - so, you cannot pair with other phones, computers, etc. (except for tethering, if your carrier supports that).

Bluetooth problem with iphone 5

why i can´t conect my IPHONE 5 with my MAC...... someone knows how to do it??? because i try everything and nothing works!!!

Unless you're trying to Tether, by Bluetooth, your phone won't pair with your Mac. File transfer, by Bluetooth, has never been supported on any iPhone.
So, you can quit trying.

HT1222 Is anyone having problems with iPhone Bluetooth to BMW s since iOS 6.1

Is anyone having problems with iPhone Bluetooth to BMW s since iOS 6.1?

Yes. I had an iPhone 3G and when upgraded to 6.1 the bluetooth connectivity failed progressively and eventually the phone just wouldn't connect. I broke and reestablished the pairing am few times and each time it would work for a while then disconnect to the extent I thought the bluetooth hardware in the car was failing. I then got an iPhone 5 and the same issue remained. In the last few days I've paired an old Blackberry with the car kit to rule out the BMW hardware. Blackberry is fine so it has to be iOS incompatibility.

My iTunes won't detect my iPhone that has to be restored via iTunes *because if pass code problems* and its running iOS 7.2

my iTunes won't detect my iPhone that has to be restored via iTunes *because if pass code problems* and its running iOS 7.0.4

If itunes is comming up and saying it can't read the device because it's locked with a passcode, you may have to put your device into recovery mode first.
To put your device in recovery mode: (Following these steps will erase your device and reset everything to factory defaults)
1) press and hold the power button until you see the slide to power off option
2) swipe to power off
3) Press and hold the home button while the device is off and connect it to your computer. Continue holding the home button until you see a graphic with the iTunes logo with a picture of a USB cable below it.
4) iTunes should give you a message that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click ok and then select Restore iPhone. iTunes will download a fresh copy of iOS and then wipe the device and restore it. Depending on the speed of your computer's internet connection this may take a while. Just leave the iphone connected to your computer until it's finished.
If itunes is not detecting it at all or is Not giving you the message that the phone is locked with a passcode, you may end up having to reinstall itunes. This seems to be a fairly common problem after the most recent itunes update (11.1.5)
If this is the case and you happen to be running a windows based computer you will have to uninstall itunes in this order from your programs and features option in control panel:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Then download and reinstall itunes from itunes.com try putting your device into recovery mode again and restore.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Problem with GarageBand for iOS 6/7 Iphone 3gs / 4

Problem with GarageBand for iOS 6/7 Iphone 3gs / 4

and within the instruments :
audio Recorder
Sampler
Smart Drums
Smart Strings
Smart Bass
Smart Keyboard
Smart Guitar
Keyboard
Drums
Guitar Amp
1.4.1 is the latest version for ios 6.
Configure my AppleID on a Iphone 4 and install the program , the version I have the Iphone 4 is the orange ( different from 3gs ) icon and put it on the AppStore : ios 2.0.1 for ios7.
With these instruments :
audio Recorder
Sampler ( to download the instrument )
Smart Drums ( to download the instrument )
Smart Strings (Download the instrument )
Smart Bass ( to download the instrument )
Smart Keyboard ( to download the instrument )
Smart Guitar
Keyboard
Drums
Guitar Amp ( to download the instrument )
and if I give what I need to restore tells me if I bought it I did not restore anything and tells me to buy :
Complete collection of GarageBand instruments and sound at a price of : € 4.49
As they are 2 different versions ? More than anything I say because I have to pay for the instruments in the 2.0.1 version of the Iphone 4 ... ?
And besides not wearing demo Demo Curtain Call : (
GarageBand 1.x If you are upgrading it using iTunes on a Mac or PC, you can restore the original collection of instruments and sounds. There is no need to buy this collection. Press "You've already purchased?" When displayed on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
this puts on the AppStore but I have tried to restore as I wrote above, and does not work. There is nothing to restore.
regards

I've been having the same problem. However, I believe my problem is due to the 3G issues I've been having. I don't have internet access even when the 3G symbol appears, so probably my iphone keeps trying to connect to the network and has its battery drained! Have you been having the same issue?

Reception / Battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

There are major reception and battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1.
I can not believe that Apple did not test this for major bugs like this one is.
I am a business user and can not effort to have bad reception. Apple wants to gain in the business clients... I never had this with my former BlackBerrys!
I need a reliable phone not a play thing like this is right now, it just needs it to work propely. And if a major bug like this comes along, fix it immediately. After the iPhone4 story, now this...incredible! Going back to my reliable BlackBerry! It just ain't reliable and takes forever to fix a problem.

I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public.

Ipad air using iOS 8.1.1 refuses to mirror or use airplay. Same problem with iPhone 5c.

I use an iPad Air to deliver keynote presentations via Airplay using Apple TV. Did this a few months ago no problems. Tried yesterday to deliver a presentation iPad refuses to mirror/airplay. Both are on same wifi - signal is good. Select tick box for airplay (mirroring tab is selected) but nothing happens! After barely a few seconds tick box jumps and selection is removed. Tried hundreds of times same result. Have tried powering down and re-staring all the equipment no joy. Restarted router no joy. Interesting to note have same problem with iPhone 5C (and 4S which is still on IOS 7). Any help gratefully received. Thank you.

By accident solved my own problem. Apple TV and iPad were working on the same wifi network, close to the router, with a strong signal. That signal is boosted to the far corners of the house via a network based on the Airport Extreme & Express units. Perversely Airplay & mirroring only works when picking up that weaker wifi signal via a different channel! Now to see if a similar solution works for the iPhones.

Problem with iphone 5 bluetooth

Have problem with iphone 5 bluetooth pairing with 2012 toyota corolla audio. After receiving incoming call, there is a pause then return to radio mode for a 3-5 second period. Unlike pairing with old iphone 3g, bluetooth connected immediately to incoming call. Have tried various methods to redo pairing, but same result and 3-5 second delay. Any suggestions?

My Bluetooth on iPhone 5 works fine with 2 x BMWs never had any issues

Problem with battery running down more quickly after downloading OS6 to 3GS iPhone

Problem with battery running down more quickly after I downloaded OS6 to 3GS iPhone.

I guess I should have asked for the "definitive" fix. I read several "fixes" but it seems no one knows if Apple has a definitive fix. Kind of like going into an Apple store and getting three different answers from three different reps. At least they are not rude and no, I don't have a problem searching the forum.
