Brand new iPhone 4s won't connect to ANYTHING via Bluetooth. Is there a fix to this?

I purchased a 4s yesterday.  I was reluctant but took the dive.  I am incredibly disappointed to find that the bluetooth does not work with ANY other bluetooth device I try to 'discover.'  It can't even DISCOVER other bluetooth devices!  By what I've read online, this has been an issue.  Does anyone know if there is a fix and what it is?  I'd sincerely appreciate the guidance!!  Thanks!

This may help as well... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1664
What BT devices are you trying to connect to?

  • Brand New iPhone 6 won't connect to wifi.

    So i just got my iphone 6 today and i just got home and it won't connect to my wifi..I have tried turning off wifi networking and rebooting, and I've checked my password multiple times and it keeps saying "Incorrect password for (Wifi Name)"

    Reboot your router by removing all power from it for 15-30 seconds. If it still says "incorrect password" then the password is incorrect.

  • New iPhone 4s won't connect to internet

    New iPhone 4s won't connect to internet beyond my home wi fi. How can I correct this? I need internet where I go.

    I've got exactly the same problem.
    Upgraded to iOS7 all was fine. 
    It then prompted me to upgrade to 7.0.2 and now my iPhone 4s won't connect to Internet anymore.
    There was also a carrier settings update that I accepted which could have broken things.
    I've tried different APN settings but it still won't connect for me :-(
    Tried a Reset Network Setting, and the problem is the same.

  • Won't connect to ipad via Bluetooth

    Re: iPad won't connect to iMac via bluetooth 
    Apr 29, 2012 3:35 PM (in response to mccass)
    I was successful in connecting my iPad and 27" iMac via bluetooth for the purpose of internet sharing, so it can be done. I was able to use my iMac's free wifi connection (which the iPad couldn't pick up, as I don't want to stand by the window) to get internet on the iPad. I forget how, unfortunately, which is why I'm back in the forums - my connection went down!
    *Edit: Foolish me. My iMac shows up under "Devices" on the iPad Bluetooth pane in General Settings. All I had to do was tap it to revive the connection (since I paired the devices the first time I set up the connection). iPad is now getting internet off iMac again :-)

  • HT1688 Since I've upgraded the IOS to 7.0.2 on my iPhone 5, my phone will randomly restart itself.  Is there a fix for this?

    Since I've upgraded the IOS to 7.0.2 on my iPhone 5, my phone will randomly restart itself.  Is there a fix for this?

    Howdy there Tuna241,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPhone is restarting unexpectedly after the update to iOS 7.0.2.
    I recommend the steps outlined in the article named:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • My brand new iPhone 5 keeps saying "Connection Unsuccessful: Make sure "___" is turned on and in range" when I try to connect to my BlueTooth Stereo.

    I just bought a brand new iPhone 5 (White and Gold) and have been having trouble keeping it connected to my BlueTooth Stereo.  The stereo was purchased brand new back in September and is current on all software.  Before I had my iPhone 5, I had the iPhone 4 and had no troubles with it connecting or remembering to connect to the stereo when it was in range.  Now, in order to connect to it, I have to first "forget the device" then search for it again, find it, and connect.  As soon as I turn either the stereo off, turn the iPhone off, or switch modes on the stereo (to CD mode, radio, etc) it loses the connection and does not pick it up again.  It still shows up in my list of available bluetooth devices, but when I try to connect it says "Connection Unsuccessful: Make sure '____' is turned on and in range" which of course, it is.
    I bought this stereo because I am a music teacher and use my phone frequently when teaching my classes.  You can probably imagine how cumbersome it becomes when after each class if I have alternated between using my iPhone to play music or switching to CD mode, I then need to "forget the device" and follow the steps I outlined above to get it working again.
    Has anyone else had this problem with the new iPhone and does anyone have a solution (I HOPE!!!!!)
    Thanks!

    I've not seen this type of behavior, but see if this support document helps. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1664

  • Second (brand new) iPhone 4 stuck on "connect to iTunes" while trying to update.

    My iphone 4 was stuck on the "Connect to iTunes" screen, and NOTHING I did fixed it. I took it to the Apple store, got a brand new iPhone 4, and it bricked again while trying to update to iOS7. Same thing... stuck on "Connect to iTunes". I'm connecting to a PC.
    What else can I try??

    The iTunes version is 11.1.2.32, and there are no error messages. I'm trying to restore from backup eventually. But for now I can't even restore to factory settings. I've tried DFU mode, and that does not work, or at least I'm can't even be certain it's going into DFU mode.
    Windows gives and audible noise to signify that a USB device is connected, so I know that somewhere beneath the surface Windows knows it is connected, but iTunes doesn't react at all, and the Windows file explorer, and even the drive manager in adminstrative tools, don't even show a volume connected.

  • My new iPhone 5 won't connect to iTunes, and when I connect to my computer it comes up as a usb storage device, also in the phone itself under usage it shows internal memory of 2gb and sd card 64 gb, is this an original iPhone or have I been sold a copy

    My new iphone 5 can not connect to itunes, it comes up as a usb storage device when I plug it in, also in the phone under settings/usage it shows internal memory of 2gb and SD card of 64gb, I cannot get it to connect to itunes at all so cannot sync etc, is this a genuine Iphone or a copy. I have owned 4 iphones and never had a problem with connecting to iphones and restoreing to a backup.

    According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_5
    the iPhone5 has 1GB of RAM, and internal storage of 16, 32, or 64GB.
    It does not use SD cards.
    Fake iphones are really Android phones using the skin of iOS6.
    Click on the App Store icon. If it takes you to Apple's App Store, then it's a real iPhone.
    But if you are directed to Google Play, then I'm afraid you've gotten a copy.

  • When I use my iPhone 4 my cheek hits the mute/speaker buttons is there a fix for this?

    When I am on calls with my iPhone 4 which I just purchased at full price ---- my cheeck hits the mute and/or speaker button....is there a fix for this without taking phone apart?

    If the iPhone is new and you take it apart, kiss the warranty goodbye.
    Are you using a case that may be blocking or partially blocking the iPhone's proximity sensor? If you are using a case, remove the case before the next call to see if the same occurs without the case. If not, get another case.

  • HT6010 Unable to turn on wifi on my iPhone 4 after the iOS 7.03 update.  Is there a fix for this?

    After installing the iOS 7.0.3 update on my iPhone 4S I am unable to turn on wifi.  Is there a fix for this?

    Not really.
    I upgraded to ios 8.0.2 and the problem goes on.
    I restored it to factory settings, and started installing every app, one by one, and the Copy + Paste problem still happens.
    I have an iPhone 4S 32GB

  • New iPhone 5C won't connect to wi-fi

    Just got new Apple iPhone 5c.  It won't connect to my home Wi-Fi.  Doesn't even ask me for password.  Just says "unable to join the network."  Help!!

        Congrats on getting the new iPhone, Jante! Have you been able to connect this new phone to any wi-fi services besides your home? If the home wi-fi is being picked up on the phone, I would recommend forgetting the network and start over. Here is a great link that will show you how to perform 'Forget Network' : http://vz.to/OmVF84 and see if this will help out with getting connected to home wifi. Please keep us posted.

  • New iPhone 4s won't connect to Internet unless  on wifi

    I just got the new iPhone 4s. Problem is that whenever I'm not at home and connected to my wifi, I am unable to open anything on Internet. Just says server cannot open page. The 3G icon is showing but nothing will open. And sometimes it won't even send my text messages, I just get that failure to send in red under the message. Any idea of how to correct this issue???
    Thanks

    Sorry ... this might be a silly question but have you contacted your mobile service provider. Maybe the 3G service is down. Maybe they change some settings on their 3G service and did not inform their customers. It doesn't hurt to run the phone configuration through with them anyway.
    Just a thought.
