Can't pair my iPhone 5 to windows 7 using Bluetooh, any Advice?

I'm trying to pair my iPhone 5 to my laptop that has windows 7 64 Bit installed on it by Bluetooth to use iPhone tethering. Everytime I try, it pops up "Device Driver software was not successfully installed" and it shows "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" not installed.
Note: I have an iPad Mini and it paired perfectly with my laptop.
I don't know what should i do, my iPhone is updated to the latest version, my windows and drivers are also up-to-date.
Thanks in Advance

OK, you must have a cellular iPad then if you were able to share its connection with your laptop.
Is your iPhone connected to a Wi-Fi network when you're trying to connect your laptop to it?  The iPhone can't share a Wi-Fi connection, only a cellular connection, so if it is connected via Wi-Fi it can't be a hotspot.
Does your laptop have Wi-Fi capability?  Have you tried sharing your hotspot over Wi-Fi rather than Bluetooth?
Not sure what else to recommend other than what's in that support article above.

    There are many apps in the App Store for transferring files between a computer and an iPhone using a cable, WiFi, or a cloud connection. Box and Dropbox cloud services are the easiest to use; I use Dropbox routinely to transfer business documents to our offices around the world.
    Evernote is another widely used cloud service.
    For local WiFi transfers there's Documents to Go, Airsharing, QuickOffice, and several dozen more. Documents to Go and QuickOffice also let you edit MS Word documents on the iPhone.

    If iTunes is installed, you just connect the iPhone to USB.

    You can also sync to iTunes using WiFi.

    Why I can't paired my iPhone 6 with my Mac Pro?

    Some of the continuity steps require you to have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on. Some require you to be logged into the same Wi-Fi network. Either way, the answer to your question is that it will not pair with your Mac.

  • Can I pair my iPhone and iPad so I can put the phone in my bag and take calls threw the iPad like the ASUS

    Can I pair my iPhone and iPad so I can put the phone in my bag and take calls threw the iPad like the new ASUS tablet/phone combo ?
    As a Quadriplegic I keep dropping my mouth stick on the ground and I fumble for my phone when it rings the table on my wheelchair is cluttered with my iPad iPhone mouth stick and TV and AC remotes I want to be able to put my iPhone in my bag and receive calls threw the iPad.
    All new electric wheelchairs allow you to pair the joystick or chin control of the chair to only one device so currently you have to sacrifice your use of one to use the other if we can pair the iPhone and iPad by wifi we can then sit the iPad in a mount on our wheelchairs and pair it ia bluetooth and operate them with ease .
    Can anyone out there help me or pass on my needs to a development team within Apple, please help as I don't want to have to buy the ASUS tablet/phone
    Paul

    I would like to be able to do this also but, i'm not sure how to set my iPad to manually sync for one thing and also, when I connect my iPad to my new (recently purchased,first time,new to this) iMac it only gives me the option to either set up as 'new' or 'restore to my recent iPhone back up'. I just want them to be separate. How can I fix this please?

    No. The iPhone does not support A2DP - bluetooth music streaming.

  • Can I have multiple iPhones with unique back ups using one icloud account?

    Hello forum users,
    Can I have multiple iPhones with unique back ups using one icloud account?
    I would like to back up and restore 4 different iPhones, 1 iPad, a MacBook and 1 MacBook Pro using the same single iCloud account.
    If so, how is this done?
    Many thanks

    Sharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address).  While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
    Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud.  You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account.

  • I have imported contacts from Outlook to Mail and they have synced via iCloud to my iPhone 3GS. I can't get my iPhone to make a call using these contacts but if I dial the number of any of the contacts on the keypad, the call DOES work! Help me please!?

    I have imported contacts from Outlook to Mail and they have synced via iCloud to my iPhone 3GS. I can't get my iPhone to make a call using these contacts (it tries but then says call ended) but if I dial the number of any of the contacts on the keypad, the call DOES work! Help me please - is there something I need to do to the contacts because tehy came from Outlook? Thanks

    Thank you for replying.    Yes I deleted the old email address..   

  • Can you get an iphone 5 at target that uses AT&T or Verizon network and use the Straight Talk plan from Walmart?

    Can you get an iphone 5 at target that uses AT&T or Verizon network and use the Straight Talk plan from Walmart? I don't have AT&T or Verizon network and I don't want to get them but I was just wondering if you can get the iphone 5 that is at target and use it for the straight talk plan. I will be getting the straight talk plan but I would like to do some research on the iphone 5 first for straight talk. At walmart the phone is $544.99 and I think it will be a lot cheaper to buy it at target.
    Thank You!

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

    unable to pair my iphone 4s to my mac using bluetooth been to apple store who have told me there is a clitch and to wait for undates to cure the problem ?

    I have my iPhone 4S paired with my macbook retina, so hexonxonx's reply is incorrect.
    After you pair your phone and your computer, go into network preferences on your computer. Click the bluetooth pan, check that you see your phone and click connect.
    That worked for me.
    If I click connect from the phone it tells me that my retina mbp isn't compatible and it forces me to forget this device. If this happens just repair it...
    Good luck
