Can bluetooth 1.7 in my PowerBook G4 sync with IPhones bluetooth 2.0?

I'm about to purchase an IPhone and does anyone know if I can sync my older PowerBook G4 with bluetooth ver. 1.7 with the Iphones ver. 2.0? Or would it be better to use a plugin antennae to go wireless with AT&T. If so....what are the specifics for the plugin antennae?
Thanks

The iPhone cannot sync over Bluetooth; the Bluetooth connection exists only for usage with a headset or some car systems.

  • The Bluetooth low energy protocol is not backward compatible with classic Bluetooth protocol. My iPhone 4s can not find my sonny in-dash player. However my iPhone 3GS does it. Very disappointed with this. Any idea how it can be fixed???

    Hello,
    You are correct, Blue tooth low engergy, BTLE.(only) devices are not backward compatible with Classic bluetooth and cannot connect.
    However the Apple 4S and above have Bluetooth 4.0 support.. Hardware wise it has bothClassic Bluetooth, like the 3GS, as well as Bluetooth Low Energy.  There is no good reason why your 4s cannot communicate to your Sony in-dash player using the Classic bluetooth that resides in the 4S.
    I know that this does not answer the why it does not work, but it should work. Do you have to somehow re-pair the new phone up to the player?  Not  knowing the model of the Sony it is hard to investigate.
    And I hate to ask but are you sure that the Bluetooth radio is on in the phone?

    You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud.  The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

  • ITunes can't see Aperture album photos to sync with iPhone??

    I had to export my Aperture library to downgrade from version 3.2 to 3.1.3 due to all the bugs in 3.2.  Since that time, though there are photos in my albums that I can see, edit, etc these pics are not showing up on the Photos screen of the Sync prefs when my iPhone 4 is plugged in.  The albums themselves all show up when I select to sync with Aperture but it shows "0" photos in every album despite the fact that all the albums have photos in them.  I have repaired permissions on Aperture library, on the computer, upgraded to iTunes 10.5, restarted the computer.  I'm guessing there was a preference file that might have linked the old Aperture library (no longer in the "Pictures" folder) to iTunes photo syncing with iPhone.  New Aperture Library has same name and location as the old one but iTunes just isn't seeing these photos.  Any suggestions on fixing?

    I made a duplicate copy of a picture and did some editing of it.  I added sepia tone, etc.  When I go to Shutterfly to upload the edited picture, I can't find it.  I see the original, but not the edited duplicate.  I shut down the computer last night and let it update and checked it again this morning, but still can't find the edited picture.  I know it is "in there" somewhere, because when I open Aperture 3, I can see the edited pic.  Any thoughts?  Thank you.

    One is now obliged to send private information to an external server...

    Thank you for the link but what a waist of time.
    Who is the idiot that decided to drop manual syncing of contacts and calendars?
    I am on the point of dropping all APPLE machines!
    I am looking to sync without having to worry about security issues, keeping my files and passwords locally on my machines, and not an external server such as a cloud drive.
    Do you know if Outlook syncs also over an external server?

  • Have a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 Leopard.  Can I just download 10.6.8 Snow Leopard as an upgrade so I can wifi sync with iPhone and iPad?

    Have a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 Leopard.  Can I just download 10.6.8 Snow Leopard so I can wifi sync with iPhone and iPad?

    To expand on Niels post...
    First you need to check that your current Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
    Snow Leopard Specs:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    If it does... then you need to Purchase and Install the Snow Leopard Disc,
    Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
    ( It should be noted that Apple will send paid MobileMe members the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD for free.)

  • Just upgraded to ios 8.1.3 but can't get my contacts or calendar to sync with my iPhone 5S

    just upgraded to ios 8.1.3 but can't get my contacts or calendar to sync with my iPhone 5S - any help would be appreciated

    I found  a solution that worked for me:
    What I did:
    1. Uninstalled iTunes, but didnt need to remove other related software components
    2. Downloaded and installed iTunes from here (as you suggested): iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    3. I didnt have to reset Sync History or change anything and it works!
    Hope it can help you too.

  • 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.

    Is this is a new iPhone that had never been synced with iTunes on any computer - the first time this iPhone was connected to iTunes on this computer which has been used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device?
    The first time a new iPhone is connected to iTunes on a computer that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device, or set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
    If you choose the former, the Camera Roll on the new iPhone is replaced with the Camera Roll contents included with the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device.
    Syncing with iTunes alone does not touch the iPhone's Camera Roll.

    Hi,
    You cannot manually manage music with match turned on on your iOS device. If you want to manage music manually, you will need to turn off match on your iPhone.

  • DM6 can't sync with a Bluetooth connection

    Hi,
    Since my system update automatically to DM6 yersterday, I cannot sync my Blackberry Pearl 8120 with my Outlook 2007 on my Dell Studio laptop computer with the Bluetooth connection.
    The sync work flawlessly on the USB connection.  When I try the Bluetooth connection I receive this error message: Blackberry Desktop Software cannot communicate with the connected terminal.
    When I check the Display Bluetooth Peripharals on my Dell BT icon, I see my BB 8120 and in the list of peripherals functions I see 2 Bluetooth Peripherals with a yellow triangle on the side.
    When I click on these i can read the message: Drivers for this peripheral are not installed.
    Why DM6 remove theses drivers and where I can find them???

  • My iphone won't sync with two bluetooths...

    I have two of the Motorola T305's - the "bluetooth" you just clip on your car visor.
    I just got an iphone, and it synced fine with the unit in the truck. Won't sync with the same model unit in my car. My previous Nokia phone had no issue with this.
    Anything I can do? Thanks.

    Sorry to hi-jack the thread.
    I have a Motorola V3 and just about to get an iPhone, nice to know my t305 will work... but how do I get it to pair with the new phone? Do I just un-pair the V3 first then go into the iPhone settings and pair the t305 with it?

  • Can Outlook 2013 Email sync with iPhone 4s via iCloud?

    Hi.
    I am hoping to sync my iPhone 4s with my email in Outlook 2013.  I thought I had found a link online earlier today to do this via the iCloud but my system rebooted and I lost the link.  Can this be done?
    When I try to setup my email using iCloud on my laptop I get the following error "Setup can't continue because Outlook isn't configured to have a default profile. Check your Outlook settings and try again."
    I have not made any changes in Outlook for fear that I will mess it up.
    Looking for any help I can get!
    Jen

    Email is not synced from phone to computer.  both devices should be setup to send and recive from the same account.  So setup your iCloud mail on your phone.  then set it up on your computer in Outlook.  if you are having issues with Outlook then ask on a Microsfot forum, as at this point the issue is not realted to your phone.
