Bluetooth wont Discover

Hi,
       Bluetooth wont discover my girlfriend's Samsung Galaxy after pairing with it five minutes ago. I find bluetooth truly is tiresome on every device I've owned, and not sure why it never seems to work with me. Tried USB, and the Macbook Air isn't even registering the phone on the computer, despite the phone being aware it's connected. Time to ditch Apple after initially thinking it was marvellous? Possibly.

That's normal. The iPhone supports only the headset and handsfree profiles (no file transfer, music streaming, etc.) - therefore, the only devices that can pair with it are headsets, speakerphones, car kits, and the like. It cannot pair with your Mac, with another cell phone, etc.

    Why my iPhone 4 wont discover any other bluetooth device, including my ipad?

    It will not connect to your ipad.  This has never been a feature of ipad/iphone/ipod
    It supports stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone devices, some keyboards, some apps from the app store, and internet tethering if provided by the carrier.
    Other than these, it will not connect to another phone or computer.

  • Help! my iPod touch bluetooth cannot discover my iPad nor mac air, but it can discover other devices... I don't understand why.  My Mac and my iPad can't discover it, as well... :(

    My iPod touch bluetooth cannot discover my iPad nor mac air, but it can discover other devices... I don't understand why.  My Mac and my iPad can't discover it, as well...

    Thanks for this... I actually wanted to pair my iPad with my iPod touch so I can use the keynote remote app in my iPod touch to control my keynote presentations... I was able to control my presentations through wifi... I wanted to use the bluetooth since internet connection is quite slow.. The app tells me I can connect through bluetooth with my iPad but sadly, it can't... I've been trying to pair them but the can't discover each other... :(

  • I cant export my photos from my mac to my ipad , bluetooth wont      se

    i cant export my photos from my mac - osx - 10.6.8 to my ipad air , bluetooth wont recognise it

    That's because Bluetooth is not supported out of the box for the transfer of photos to the iPad from your Mac. There are third party apps that let you transfer over WiFi or Bluetooth. I use this one. There are others in the App Store that you can check out.
    Wireless Transfer App - Share, sync & backup photos, pictures ...
    You can also sync photos from the Mac to the iPad using iTunes.

  • Bluetooth wont keep connection to headphones!

    anyone else having this issue?  bluetooth wont keep connection to headphones!  It works great for anywhere from 20 minutes to 3 hours at a time, then it loses connection, but shows it as being connected on the phone. I have to reboot bluetooth and my headphones and restart any one of the 6 different music players i use.

    Hi Go to settings on iPad Reset Network Settings After Reset you need to enter your router wireless key I found that the Router your I S P gives you are not very good I now use a top of range Netgear Router R 6300 bought off  Ebay for £70.00 It even works at the top of back garden no problems with iPhone or iPad & Apple TV.

  • Bluetooth wont work on my dv7 5004tx

    The BT profiles on the iPod on support:
    - Some peer-to-peer gaming
    - Headphones and headsets that use the A2DP profile. Note most headset used with phones use the HFP profile which the iPod does not support.
    - Speaker that use the A2DP profile
    - Some BT keyboards for 3G and later iPods

  • Z3 Bluetooth wont turn on

    My bluetooth wont turn on and the visabilty doesn't high light also phone sometimes scrolls by itself

    Try performing a system repair as this will often fix issues - This will factory reset your phone
    Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
    Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the onscreen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
    If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP
    If this fails then you need to either return your device to the place of purchase or contact Xperia care and have your device inspected for a fault http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/

  • TS3581 Iphone 4 wont discover bluetooth devices ie. my car

    Out of the blue my iphone 4 has stopped connecting with bluetooth devices.  I removed my car builtin bluetooth out of my phone and took my phone out of the car's system.  It was synced to the car's system but just stopped working.  Car is brand new 2013 Ford Explorer & I'm sure it's not the car.  I've tried to add the phone but it just spins and says discoverable but does nothing.  This is why I'm sure it's the phone!  It won't discover any bluetooth device. I have shut off my phone, reset my phone, made sure my phone was charged, deleted things that could be taking up to much memory etc.  My phone software is current @ iOS 6.1.3
    Please help!!!!

  • My ipod wont discover any device. HELP!

    I read on twitter that if you microwave your iPhone/iPod for a min it will charge fully so i decided to try it...i foolishly microwaved my ipod for 5 secs but i have a screen guard and i started smelling smoke so when i checked nothing was wrong with the iPod itself only a smoke like scent on the screen guard. Nxt morning i tried connecting to wifi bt it wont even discover it(i think its the  microwave thingy that caused it), yet every other device in my house does. I tried bluetooth....same thing and im really scared... Does any one know what i can do? and if the microwave thing is real?

    Someone else posted today about micrwaving their iPod and they broke it.
    Microwaves imparts energy to the iPod and can damage it.
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar          
    Apple will likely exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $149

  • My bluetooth has discovered my speakers but cannot connect till I take the headphones out, but there are no headphones connected what can i do

    My Imac has discovered my wireless speakers but cannot connect because it ask me to remove my headphones which are not connected, can any one help?

    Will you're iMac play music through the internal speakers or does it give you the same error?
    I ask because most (all?) Macs these days use a combo optical analog jack for headphones which means that there's a tiny switch inside that can get stuck. I've never heard of a problem just like yours (which could be a bluetooth issue) but I have had similar issues on my wife's Macbook.
    If you get the same error, or can't play music out of the internal speakers then try inserting re-inserting a headphone plug a few times. If you do a few Google searches you can find additional info.

  • IPhone 4S Bluetooth not discovering any devices

    Hi, my iPhone 4S won't discover any Bluetooth devices at all.
    I've tried resetting network settings, hard resetting the phone and neither of these work.
    I have another iPhone 4S for work that will find the devices (I tried it as a test) but I need my personal phone to connect as the devices personal devices are a headset (which my phone did previously connect to) and a Nike Fuelband.
    Any ideas what's wrong with the Bluetooth or how to fix it?
    Thanks

    Hey Ellen12345,
    Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. You've almost completed every step, as the following article outlines:
    iOS: How to troubleshoot Bluetooth connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4562
    Additional Information
    - If the steps above have not resolved the Bluetooth behavior you are experiencing, perform a software restore in iTunes.
    - If the issue persists after restoring your iOS device in iTunes, contact Apple for support and service options.
    Tip: You may want to go back and run through every step one more time before restoring, just to make sure we didn't miss anything.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.
