*** Can't get my phone to recognize G5 and vice versa

I have a G5 with a newly acquired Bluetooth adaptor (D-Link DBT-100). I'm trying to get the G5 to recognize my bluetooth enabled cellphone but haven't had success. I'm using a Sony Ericsson Z600.
Any ideas on what to do? Is it likely settings on the phone or on the G5?
Thanks in advance!

Do you see a small lock icon with an arrow encircling it on the status bar, to the left of the battery meter?  If so, the phone is in portrait lock mode.  Double click the home button to show the "multitasking" apps bar, slide it to the right and touch the portrait lock icon (at the left) to unlock.
If you don't see the portrait lock icon on the status bar, reset the phone: press both the home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
FYI:  "Turn sideways" means landscape mode.
FYI2:  You can't have an iPhone 3G with iOS 5.1.1 as your profile says.  The highest iOS installable on the 3G model is 4.2.1.  Do you have an iPhone 3GS?

  • How can I get the phone to recognize mini SD Card?

    I have a 32G Sandisk SD Card in the G4 mini but one day the phone said the card was blank and unsupported.  I purchased another SD Card and installed it however the phone does not recognize that I have an SD card.  When I try and save music or pics to the card the phone says I have removed the storage.  How can I get the phone to recognize the card storage?

    First of all do you Mount or Unmount the card from the settings menu before pulling the card out of its slot? Make sure that the option Mount is greyed out in you settings menu when the card is in the phone. If not select it.  If you pull the card out of the phone select Unmount first.  You can also try formatting the card from the same settings menu.  If these two things do not work, then either the card is defective or the card hardware slot is defective.

  • How can i get apple mail to recognize gmail and pac bell mail servers?

    thank you

    Google has a support notice that may explain the problem here: http://support.google.com/mail/answer/82350?hl=en
    Apple has a built-in method for setting up Gmail accounts that makes sure that they are set up properly.
    Go to System Preferences under the Apple menu and select Mail, Contacts & Calendars. In the left-hand sidebar select the Add Account… item. In the main window select Gmail. Enter the information in the drop down sheet.
    As for Pacbell I don't know what the proper settings are and could only find these from a third party so proceed with caution. http://www.emailserversettings.com/category/pacbell

  • My beatz speaker doesn't appear in my iPhone 5's Bluetooth menu.  How can I get the phone to recognize the speaker?

    Any ideas?

    Try to pair with the iPhone 5 after that.

  • HT1146 I have a macbook pro and an imac, I have both these mails synced with my gmail account, when im on the macbook and open the mail I get it just fine but I dont get it on my imac afterwards and vice versa. How can I get all my mails on both machines?

    Need some help with this please..

    Open Mail, then under Mail, Preferences, look at the gmail account and find the settings for the account...see how the deletion is set.  If it deletes on opening, or when removed from the inbox (same thing) change that so the email stays available on the server.  Do that on both machines.  See if that makes things work right for you.

  • Can you open a keynote presentation in PowerPoint and vice versa?

    I've opened a powerpoint presentation in Keynote but had trouble opening a Keynote in Powerpoint.  I wasn't sure if it was just that particular keynote or is does it just not work.  I know some formatting sometimes get lost.  What's the quality like when doing both?

    Correct?
    Yes correct
    I'm not sure what you mean by "you must export to powerpoint in keynote to convert files".  How do you do that?

  • If I buy a TV series on Apple TV, can I watch it on my Mac? And vice versa?

    I want to purchase a TV series. I wanted to make sure I would be able to watch it on all my devices. Also, is it better to purchase through itunes on the Mac or through Apple TV? Or does it even make a difference?
    Thanks

    In theory it should not matter whether you purchase on AppleTV or Mac (except for rentals which made on AppleTV are for that only), so long as you use the same AppleID you should be able to transfer purchases via USB or play from the cloud on recent iOS devices.
    Movies are not available in the cloud in most countries except USA.
    In practice I would recommend purchasing in iTunes.
    I've bought a few individual TV Show episodes on the AppleTV - some have then allowed a 'Complete my Season' in iTunes, others haven't even though the indiviudal episodes list as purchased.
    My preference tends to be to buy and download and backup via iTunes - and then stream locally from itunes or the cloud to AppleTV.
    I think it's wise to make a local copy and backup of a show in case it gets removed from iTunes Store and is no longer available in the cloud.  A bit of me is starting to think however that for the small number of shows you might lose the monetary value might be offset by the times and cost of backup media if you absolutely had to purchase the show again in itunes (season changed subtly and no longer available) or on optical media.

  • Stupid newbie question here: When setting up for hot sync, both PC and smartphone will ask for "device name" but how do I know which devide I'm naming? If I'm on the phone, do I specify the phone or the computer; and vice versa.

    Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
    It's more like naming the partnership. By "naming" your device is doesn't do anything harmful. If you name it Pat's Treo, when syncing it tot he computer, hotsync will say "Syncing with Pat's Treo." You can name your device Fido for all it matters.

  • My partner and I share and iCloud account, we updated our software now whenever she gets a text message I see it on my phone and vice versa

    My partner and I share an iCloud account . We both have the iPhone 5. We recently updated the software to the iOS 7.2 and now whenever she gets a text message I receive and vice versa. This never happened before only happened since the update

    iCloud has nothing to do with messages (iCloud does include an email account, but not a messaging service).  If you both use the same AppleID for iMessage, then you are sharing the same messaging account.
    One of you needs to get an alternate AppleID, sigin out of iMessage, then sign in with the alternate AppleID.  That way you will each have your own private iMessage accounts.

    Hi there,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
    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 15 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.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • HT1766 Hi, I share an iTunes account with my wife. Sometimes she gets my iMessages and I don't and vice versa. Also if people face time me it goes to her phone. How can I stop this from happening?

    You can share the same Apple ID in
    Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: here
    But for all other Apple services like:
    FaceTime, iMessage, iCloud, etc, one of you should use a different Apple ID.
