Bluetooth recently will not work with my iPad 2 or with iPhone4

Bluetooth on my iPad2 and iPhone4 worked fine until recently. The only change is operating system upgrade so must be some problems with the upgrade. apple is really dropping the ball with their operating system upgrades. The operating system upgrades create more new problems ratther than correct prior probrlems.

This form is for technical help with the iPod Classic, not the iPad. Post this in the iPad forums.

My IPad cannot download live Tv from skygo. I have no problem with my lap top so I assume the broad band is okay. Can anybody suggest why the live streaming will not work on my iPad one.

Are you using the Sky Go app to try and watch it ? If so are you logged in with your Sky account ?
If you are using the app then you could try closing the app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Sky Go 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Sky Go app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

HT1222 Certain wifi's will not work on my iPad, it will show that it's connected but will not connect.

Certain wifi's will not work on my iPad, it shows it's connected but will not connect.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Farm Heroes will not work on my iPad Since I updated the game

Farm Heroes will not work on my iPad since I update the game.I could play just fine before I updated it on May 1st. I was up to level 120. I have tried everything,restarting iPad, uninstalling and reinstalling Farm Heroes,uninstalling all other games, and even did a reset on my iPad. The game will not stay on. I can sign in to Facebook but if I click Play it will shut off before or right after my first move.And always starts on level 1.I wish I could undo the uplate.....

Did you ever get an answer? I see no resolution to this problem, that I also have.

ICloud Drive will not work on my iPad 3. Pages crashes when I try. Setting resets to off after it crashes. any suggestions?

iCloud Drive will not work on my iPad 3. Pages crashes when I try. Settings resets to off after it crashes. any suggestions?

From the Ipad manual - actually the same in Ipad, Ipod, Iphone --- the support site listed has frequently asked questions on Icloud drive.
Set up iCloud Drive
You can set up iCloud Drive using Setup Assistant when you install iOS 8, or you can set it up later in Settings. iCloud Drive is an upgrade to Documents & Data. When you upgrade to iCloud Drive, your documents are copied to iCloud Drive and become available on your devices using iCloud Drive. You won’t be able to access the documents stored in iCloud Drive on your other devices until they are also upgraded to iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite. For more information about upgrading to iCloud Drive, see support.apple.com/kb/HT6345.
Set up iCloud Drive. Go to Settings > iCloud > iCloud Drive, turn on iCloud Drive, then follow the onscreen instructions.

Rusher dominance is not working on my iPad 1 with iOS 5.1.1 .Can anybody tell me it's reason ? If there's any reason please tell me how to fix it

Rusher dominance is not working on my iPad 1 withies 5.1.1 please tell me it's reason the same problem is with many other games e.g. Acr drift and highway rally.

Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again!

I have the i phone four and just uploaded to my computer and now it will not work has the apple logo with a long oval bar under it

i have the i phone four and just uploaded to my computer and now it will not work has the apple logo with a long oval bar under it

It may be that it is stuck loading. You will want to probably first attempt a Hard Reset (Home Button + Power Button for 5-10s until it restarts with an Apple Logo then let it load up) and see if this will get it working.

Home sharing will not work on my iPad it was but since IOS 5 it will not any ideas?, Home sharing will not work on my iPad it was but since IOS 5 it will not any ideas?

My IPad will not see my iTunes library, but iTunes syncs the iPad across my LAN. Remote will not see the same but Sonos does. All was ok, but since 5 it will not work, any one else having the same issue. Home sharing on etc.

Got the same problem. AppleTV 2 see MacPro and 2 other MBP's and can play both music and movies.
3 ipads can see shared library but on entering it doesn't showing any music or movies.
Have you found a solution yet?

VZ Contact Transfer will not work on Wi-Fi; Synch with iTunes sets up mail

VZ Contact Transfer goes into a loop with Verizon iPhone connected to your Wi-Fi and does not work.
Your wi-fi network will come up right after registering VZ iPhone. You could wait until later to allow it to connect.
Otherwise, disconnect router to force iPhone onto Verizon 3G network and proceed. If you click the change phone number button, it will get you a new access code to your old Verizon contacts from Verizon back up. (Back up before signing up on iPhone)
Took me hours of fooling around to learn this on another bulletin board.
Also after hours of fooling around to set up mail, synched iPhone thru iTunes to mail, calendar, etc and the email accounts set themselves up.
Hope this saves you some time
Enjoy!

I don't have an answer for you but from my experience iOS WiFi syncing has always been a hit and miss affair (more miss than hit I'm afraid). I have gotten to the stage where I rarely use the WiFi sync. It is just quicker, easier and much less stressful to use the USB cable. I am having the same issues with all the iOS devices in our family which includes various models of iPhone, iPad and an iPod Touch and have been having them since WiFi syncing was introduced (in iOS5 ???). And then I have not even mentioned my favorite iTunes syncing messages: "Waiting for items to copy" and "Waiting for changes to be applied"!
iTunes is always extremely quick and eager to pick up the devices but as soon as I click on sync it shows "Looking for iDevice" and then the device disappears. I have found that initiating the sync from the Settings app on the device prevents this issue.
It does however seem as if it is worse with Windows 7. I did not have so many issues with my previous Windows Vista PC.
Sorry I cannot be of any help.

Updated to iOS 7 with kensington keyboard, Bluetooth keyboard will not work, help

I Made the mistake of updating and now my Bluetooth kensington keyboard purchased with ipad won't work. Anybody know a fix?

Reset Settings
What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

Bluetooth Headset will not work following upgrade of PC desktop software

Recently I updated my laptop with the latest desktop software in order to allow synchronization between Microsoft Office 2010 and my blackberry tour.
The sync works!
But now that I have upgraded, I am having a problem with my bluetooth headset.
After syncing my phone to my PC over bluetooth, my bluetooth headset connects to the phone ok but when you try to use it no sound comes through either the headset ear piece or the phone.
So if you try and dial a number, the phone rings where you are calling but you cannot hear the ringing or the person on the other end once they have answered it.
To correct the problem you have to remove the battery from the phone. Then once you replace the battery and wait 5 - 7 minutes for the phone to re-initialize the headset works just fine. Until the next time you sync the phone with the laptop of course. Then the headset stops working again.
I have tried deleting all the bluetooth devices from the phone and re-connecting them. Does not help.
Anyone else seeing this problem?
This is my 2nd blackberry. My 1st was a Perl on T-Mobile. Never had a problem. But this tour from verizon has be a problem from the start. Think my next phone is likely to be anything but blackberry!

Hello ralpha,
I would suggest you back up your BlackBerry data and clear the Bluetooth Options database. Re-Pair your headset and try making calls again.
KB10167 will show you how to clear individual databases.
Let me know how you make out.

Hello Hilda Louise
Start with the article below to get your iPhone to be recognized in iTunes again. Then you will probably need to restore it to get it back up and running.

My ipod touch will not work the screen is black with a small white circle/wheel in the middle of it no matter which button i press and hold nothing happens

My ipod touch stopped working. The screen is black with a small white circle/wheel with ridges/teeth in the middle of the screen. No matter what button is pressed and/or held nothing happenes. Can anyone assist me?

Try the remaining items of:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least and hour try again.
- If still problem time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My internet connection will not work on my ipad

my wi fi does not connect to my home internet. should i reset the router. my home laptop connects to the internet.

Yes, power off the router for at least 30 seconds then turn it back on. Wait until it connects to the Internet before turning on your iPad.
You can also try
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Netorks
Then reboot your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Bluetooth recently will not work with my iPad 2 or with iPhone4
