Can't pair iphone & ipad

I can't seem to pair my iphone & ipad via bluetooth since the ios 7 update.
I tried turning both devices on and off and even clicked on "forget this device
and now the ipad just sits there saying "connecting". Not sure what to do. ?

Actually, MikeK5117 is correct. I have used iPhone tethering with my iPad for the past year as well. It's always paired with Bluetooth and with the iOS 7 update my iPhone 5s and iPad can no longer tether. Hopefully there will be a fix soon... Really frustrating to pay for something and not be able to use it.

How can I pair iPhone 6 / 8.1 with Audi and Mercedes until 8.1 is fixed?

How can I pair iPhone 6/8.1 with Audi and Mercedes

Generally your put the vehicle into discovery mode, turn Bluetooth on for the phone and the two should discover each other. I don't know what you mean about getting 8.1 fixed, as it is working just fine for me in my vehicle. Try going into the phone and removing the car(s) from the phone list. Turn off Bluetooth. Go into Settings>General>Reset Network Settings. Do a reset on the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple Logo and release. The phone will reboot. Go into the vehicle(s) and remove all reference to the phone from the vehicle list. Turn the car off, then back on. Put the vehicle's system into discovery/pairing mode. Turn Bluetooth on for the iPhone. The two should pair after following any additional instructions from the vehicle's user guide, such as entering a PIN code.

How can I pair an iPad with an android phone via Bluetooth?

How can I pair an iPad with an android phone via Bluetooth? I get the pair message on both, but after acknowledging on both devices the connection fails to establish. I looked around and everything I found had to do with file transfer. I can share access to the internet via Bluetooth and it works with other devices I've tried this with. Thanks.

Sorry. After re-reading my question I realized that I wasn't clear. I don't want to transfer files. I want to use PDANet from my android and connect my iPad for internet access via bluetooth. I know this is a 2 way transfer of data not very different from transferring files, but I just want to be sure that this is not going to work so I can stop trying as if I'm doing something wrong. Like I said, I can do this with any other bluetooth capable device/computer I have. Seems like it's just not working either by design or as a result of some limitation. I guess 2 way communication with a headset gave me hope that internet access would work. Thanks!

Bluetooth is not supported for file transfer
You can pair to tether.
You have to use USB

Can't pair iPhone 5s with Macbook Pro via Bluetooth

I have an iPhone 5s and Macbook Pro with retina display (running on iOS 8.0.2 and Yosemite respectively). For some reason, my iPhone can never see my MBPr but the MBPr can see the iPhone. Pressing the "Pair" button on in the Bluetooth setting panel in OS X will trigger the pairing confirmation to show up on my iPhone. After confirming the pair request, the devices remain connected for no more than 2 seconds. Then they just disconnect. (The status is "Not connected" underneath my iPhone on the Devices list in OS X)
This has been bugging me for a while, even before I upgraded to iOS 8 and Yosemite. I was hoping the upgrade will solve the issue but apparently not. My iPad on the other hand has no problem in connecting and remaining connected to my MBPr. That's just baffling.
Just some context: the reason why I wanted to connect my MBPr and my iPhone via Bluetooth is because I want to use my my iPhone as the hotspot. Yes, I can use the USB cable, but can't blame me for trying the wireless route (And no, connecting via wifi doesn't work)
Any help is appreciated!

Can't pair iPhone Remote App in 3.0

After updating to 3.0 I now can't pair my iPhone Remote App with my ATV. I had it paired at one point in the past. Since I've done a factory reset of the ATV and today upgraded to 3.0. The option to even add an iPhone in ATV is greyed out and the option to select ATV on the iPhone is also greyed out.

I am having the same problem in that the iphone does not even show up under the remote section on ATV. I have three ATV units and it does the same thing on all of them. They all were accessible using the remote app in the past. Had no issues previously with pairing the iphone as a remote. Updated remote application just the other day and it still is not working. Anybody have a fix. My network is fine we have tons of devices that use it daily. ATV's are connected through ethernet.

Can't pair iPhone 3G 3.0 with Unibody Macbook

I've updated my iPhone 3G to 3.0, but I can't pair it with any of my macs.
I've tried:
15" unibody Macbook Pro (last. gen, no SD slot)
13" unibody Macbook
24" iMac (latest gen.)
It pairs fine with my XP laptop.
When I pair it, it seems to work ok, I get the popup on the phone screen, "confirm you see XXXXX on the computer "Name"", I tap pair, and then nothing happens and on OSX, it says there was an error pairing.
What's up?

I had a similar problem with my iPhone and Macbook.
What I did that did work was this:
1) Make sure bluetooth is turned ON on your iPhone, but tethering off
2) System Preferences
3) Bluetooth
4) + Sign to add device (Launches Bluetooth Setup Assistant)
5) Click Continue
6) Select Mobile Phone, Click Continue
7) Click Continue to let it gather information
8) It will show a passcode, and this should also appear on the iPhone
9) Click allow/accept or whatever is says on the iPhone when promoted with the code
10) It will appear like its waiting for something else, just click continue on the Bluetooth assistant and it should continue the rest of the process.
11) It should then create that Bluetoon Pan network connection
What was failing for me before was after clicking allow/accept on the iPhone I was waiting thinking it should automatically detect this on the Bluetooth Setup Assistant on the mac, at which point it would fail.

Can't pair iPhone

Why is it that I can't pair my iPhone 4 to my son's iPod Touch 4G? It seems a bit ridiculous to not allow Apple devices to connect via bluetooth.

Because this is not, and never has been, a feature of either iphone or ipod touch.
You can play some peer-to peer games/apps between iphones/ipods, but it is specific to those apps.
File sharing is NOT supported via bluetooth.

Can I pair iPhone to iMac to utilise Bluetooth function?

Hi everyone,
I currently own one of the first iMacs built in 2006 that were originally built for the education sector. This model doesn't have a Bluetooth card so obviously I can't use any wireless peripherals with it.
But my question is whether I can use my iPhone 4 as a substitute. Is there any way to pair the iPhone with my iMac and use it as a Bluetooth access point?
I'm planning on getting a Magic Trackpad for it and I don't really want to buy an adaptor if I can somehow do this.
Thanks in advance for all the help!

The iMac must have Bluetooth too in order to pair with another Bluetooth device. So the answer is no, if your iMac doesn't have Bluetooth you cannot any Bluetooth wireless devices to it. You may however use your Iphone as an access point for wi-fi if you do not have Wi-Fi access, you will need to check with your carrier to see how this is done and what the additional costs would be.

Can't pair iphone ios 8.1 with mac

Am running Yosemite on my Mac and cannot get handoff to work. Tried to pair iphone with the mac and haven't been able to do it. Keep getting not connected on bluetooth.Am supposed to be able to get phone calls on Mac and make them using Contacts. No to both.

Exact same problem on my end.
MBA 2012 Yosemite with an iPhone 5s 8.1
Not only is the phone NOT pairing with my iMac, I can't seem to get handoff to work. When trying to pair in the system preferences, it shows that the phone is connected for a split-second, then I get the "Network Unavailable" message also.

Can't connect iphone,ipad,samsung to WLAN.

Hi everybody!
I'm having a headache with a problem, i hope you can help me guys.
We have a WLC 5508. This WLC has a guest network, which SSID was hidden. Now that i want to use, i enable the SSID broadcast
and try to connect to it.
With my laptop, or any other computer i don't have any problem. But with the gadgets (an iphone, ipad and samsung) i've been having some issues.
I can tell that, at the beginnning i thought that maybe it was a problem with the devices and the encryption i was using on the WLAN (WPA2 PSK). But
these devices can connect to another WLAN network in the same WLC, with the same encryption without a problem.
I try to change the encryption, i used all of the possible ways, even i let it opened, but nothing worked for me.
I'm not an expert on wireless, and i don't know if i'm missing a command or something.
Thanks everybody for your time, i really hope you can help me! :-)

HT201205 can't pair IPhone with SYNC in Ford

Have tried numerous times to pair IPhone 5 to SYNC system in two Ford vehicles. Help?

This is a problem with the bluetooth and the macbook air. I mentioned the reason behind my need to pair - as it is not to share music, internet, etc. which I understand may be an issue. I cannot find how to get support from the app maker, which is apple from my understanding. This app, keynote, only controls the keynote app on my mac. I haven't had any problem pairing the iphone and keynote but I need to control my keynote using bluetooth, as I have no garuntee that I will always be in a place with wifi or be able to access the wifi.

Can't pair iPhone 5 with Mac mini or iPad

When I try to pair my iPhone 5 with my Mac mini (current model), I'm able to go through all the steps and the Mac shows the iPhone is connected for about 1-2 secs and then drops the connection. I'm trying to pair them so I can use the TokenLock app to automatically lock my Mac when I walk away from it.
I have the exact same issue when trying to tether my iPad to my iPhone via bluetooth to connect my iPad to the internet. A connection is established for only a couple seconds. I'm able to tether via wi-fi though.
What am I doing wrong?
