Limitation of XP, videos over 500MB's can't be imported using Camera/Scanner wizard. Try transfering these Videos directly from your phone by selecting them in My Computer and dragging or copying the movie files to your computer's hard drive.

Is it possible to connect an external camera via bluetooth to the Iphone 4 and use it with Facetime, if not.. why?

Is it possible to connect an external camera via bluetooth to the Iphone 4 and use it with Facetime, if not.. why?

Ok, in 2015 is it possible now? I would like to use an iPad and Face to share content between a dressmaker in Asia and a customer in the US, and I would like to attach better camera's than the built-in camera's on the devices.
Any thoughts? Any updates to the original post?
Thanks,

Using bluetooth tethering in iPad mini

can i use my nokia phone as modem for iPad mini through bluetooth tethering.I have done it with iPad touch 5th generation

You can use an iPhone (if your carrier supports it) as a personal hotspot for your iPad and use the phone's cellular connection to go online with your iPad - your iPad will see the phone as a wifi network.
If you are asking if you can share an internet connection from a wifi-only iPad then you can't, only cellular models potentially allow you to share its connection with other devices/computers.

How can I see "access point" for "connection method" to use Bluetooth tethering?

I have been using WiFi tethering. However, as everybody knows, the battery of my Nexus 5 goes down so fast. Now I wish to use Bluetooth tethering. I updated my Nexus 5 to Android 5.0. I have a desktop PC, notebook PC and new Surface
Pro 3 all with Windows 8.1 Update. Up to pairing everything goes OK but when I click the "Nexus 5" graphic on the control panel, I could see only "direct connection" (no "access point"). Some website indicates "KB290440"
but it is not found in the history of update. I would therefore appreciate if somebody would kindly help me to use Bluetooth tethering.
By the way, the Windows system I am using is Japanese.
Thank you in advance.

Some website indicates "KB290440" but it is not found in the history of update.
That's the latest "servicing stack". I think it is optional. More significant I think would be whether you have the latest rollup, which is also optional, so far. E.g. at the top of View your update history see what you have for
"Most recent cumulative update: "
FWIW here is mine:

Need to know what cell carriers/phones support bluetooth tethering

I had the MotoQ9C for about a year and was using it (OS Windows Mobile 6.0) to tether with my macbook with no problems. However, the phone went belly up and they sent me a replacement. It had the 6.1 OS. Well, it no longer worked with the Macbook after that. So aggrivating. After much discussion with my cell carrier, Alltel, they let me out of my contract a year and a half early because this is a feature I MUST have with my phone and they claimed to have no OS and no phones which would support it.
SO, now I am on the hunt for a new service provider and a new phone. I have to be able to tether with my Mac. Have to. I was using it on a daily basis before I was sent the new phone and I am beyond annoyed that I suddenly can't do it anymore. The Alltel sup basically told me, "good luck" when I asked if she knew of any providers who DID support the Mac/phone tethering. She said she didn't know of any herself and she's been in the industry to 6 years. Ugh.
So, I know it can be done but I need help finding out how, who and where. If anyone is able to tether with their phone, could you please send me info on who you're using, what phone and how to set it up??? I'm on the hunt and need this info yesterday. : )
Thanks in advance!

AT&T is correct (and donv doesn't seem to understand 'tethering' in this context) - tethering is currently not supported with the iPhone - not via USB nor Bluetooth. The iPhone itself is capable of tethering (either BT or USB) and can be used like that with carriers in other countries. AT&T may decide to support tethering via the iPhone at some point in the future, and will likely charge the same as they do for their other smartphones - an additional $30/month on top of the data plan.
So at the present time, the iPhone is not what you're looking for. But, any carrier with a device that supports tethering on their network will work with the MBP (phones from Nokia, Samsung, etc., BlackBerrys, whatever, from Verizon, AT&T, etc.).
@donv - "Tethering" means using a cell phone as a wireless modem to connect your Mac to the internet. The iPod Touch lacks a cellular radio, so tethering is moot.

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.

Bluetooth Tethering w/ Vista

I'm having an issue getting my Bluetooth tethering setup with Vista. My USB tethering works perfectly fine. Pairing seems to work , the problem is when Vista is installing the iPhone/BT drivers. Vista can't seem to find any drivers for the "Bluetooth Peripheral Device". I have installed iTunes on this machine (my laptop, desktop is my main syncing machine) and that doesn't seem to fix anything.
Suggestions?
(w/ Rogers in Canada for carrier)
Thanks
Sean

hi there!
I have the same problem too. After trial and error, I managed to get tethering done with bluetooth. please do the following:
1. make sure your iphone shows up under bluetooth devices in your vista computer. else, click add and make sure bluetooth is switched on, on both computer and iphone. go to the properties and make sure under the services tab, Wireless iAP is selected.
2. ignore the message which shows that windows can't find drivers for bluetooth peripheral device. click the on the last option in the message.
3. go to iphone --> settings --> network --> tethering and switch it on.
4. go to network and sharing centre by right clicking on the network icon on the system tray.
5. on the left panel, click on manage network connections.
6. there should be a bluetooth network connection under personal area network. right click it and select view bluetooth network devices.
7. there should be a network access point (your iphone in this case). click on the connect button.
this should work and your iphone's tethering would be activated (blue coloured panels at the top).
till a permanent solution is found, just use this go-around method!
cheers!

Bluetooth tethering with Sprint is slowwwwww

Is this normal? I get fast speed on the mobile handset, but when bluetooth tethered with
the Mac...its super slow. I usually get like 700kbs on the handset, now im getting 100kbs the most.

I might have a solution for you, but its a crappy one.
I have the exact same problem with this phone and my new 17 Inch Macbook Pro.
What fixed it for me was using a Bluetooth Dongle instead of the built in Bluetooth. You need to add a second PAN connection in the Network Prefs and repair everything, but when you get it all configured correctly and use the Dongle instead of the built in Bluetooth, I bet it works flawlessly.
There is something wrong with how Apples newer Bluetooth hardware is interacting with this phone. I even went to an Apple Store and tested on another 17 inch Macbook to make sure it wasent just my computer. The older Macbooks worked fine, so its something in the newer hardware.
Call Apple, make them aware that this is an issue with all their newer stuff. Let them (and me) know if using an external bluetooth adapter fixed the issue for you.

Xperia P lifetimer check and Problems of bluetooth tethering

1. As I understand there are no such option or code you can enter to see this.
2. Yes the year and week should be typed on the label underneath the bottom cap (xxWxx).
3. Do you get connection but no Internet access?

I am going to buy an iPad2. May I use my iphone4s to gain internet connection to the ipad2?

May I gain internet acces for an ipad2 using my iphone4s?

That would depend upon who your cell service provider is and what level of service subscription you have.
If you have AT&T in the US, then you would need to get the Data Pro plus tethering ($45 for 4GB plus $10 for each additional GB over 4GB used) to get the wifi hotspot service on your iPhone 4S allowing ou to then use it as a wifi hotspot to conenct our iPad to the internet. Other cell providers have different options and costs...

Os3 Bluetooth tethering

Hi guys, quick question regarding bluetooth tethering on new os3. Does this mean I will be able to streeam music from my iPhone 3g to my car sterio via the parrot car handsfree kit that diverts calls through the sterio and speakers ?cheers

You're mixing up bluetooth with tethering.
Tethering is using the internet connection on the iPhone with a computer.
3.0 adds the bluetooth A2DP protocol so you'll be able to stream music through your parrot kit.

Since the iOS7.0.2 update to my iPhone 4S, I can no longer choose use of my Bluetooth device if using the power cord to listen to MUSIC or answer my phone (choice of powercord as 'dock,' speaker,

Since the iOS7.0.2 update to my iPhone 4S, I can no longer choose use of my Bluetooth device if using the power cord to listen to MUSIC or answer my phone (choice of powercord as 'dock,' speaker, & phone only). Was this former-feature now an oversight?? I'd really appreciate having my Bluetooth once again listed as a choice of audio option. Especially considering the battery life is not what it was prior to this update, and requires recharging often.

Sorry to tell you but unless you have a Retail Apple Store close by, they are the only ones I have found with all the adapters and accessories. I bought an extra lightning to usb adapter the other day to use in my truck. Good luck....

I want to cut and paste iCal entries on iPad. Have seen a number of questions raised but no definitive answer - is it possible or not? (I use Bento but that doesn't sync with ICal now so can use that solution)

No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

That's only for the iPhone 5. On the 4 and 4S, they can repair the back glass in store for $30. They will not replace the display on a 4 or 4S. They must replace the entire phone. Replacing the display on them requires disassembling the entire phone, which they will not do in store.
