Connecting iphone to ipad via bluetooth

For some reason my iPad won't recognise my iphone while it looks for devices with bluetooth. A couple of my friends have already successfully paired their devices to my ipad. Is there something wrong with my phone or am I missing something? Please help me out with any information, just trying to sort this out asap so I can play the scrabble application I just downloaded. Both my ipad and iphone had bluetooth on when I tried to pair them.
Thank you

Tethering is something completly different. That same support article also says that you can use Peer to Peer bluetooth connections for applications. I also found an application that allows you to send files via bluetooth from my iphone to another or ipod touch or ipad. It is call BlueWaves. Tethering would in theory allow you to connect your iPhone to your iPad and use the internet from the iPhone on the iPad. Apple would not allow this because they have a 3G model coming out. Plus the iPhone is capable of internet tethering but ATT has blocked it from the phones until their network becomes more stable. I hope the information and that application help you accomplish what you would like to.
Thanks

    I cannot pair my Macbook Air (Yosemite) with my iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth. It is recognising the devices but 'connection unsuccessful'

    That is correct.  Macs do not pair to iPhones, iPads, etc.
    However, pairlng is not required to get Handoff to work.  Both devices must have Bluetooth on, but they need not (indeed cannot) be paired.
    OS X Yosemite: Pick up where you left off with Handoff
    You must be using supported devices:
    OS X Yosemite: supported devices for Handoff, Instant Hotspot, Phone Calling, SMS, and AirDrop

    Usually, I use my iPhone 5 to control Keynote in my iPad mini. After I updated iOS 8 my iPhone could not pair with iPad via Bluetooth anymore. I have been reset network and all setting but it still be the same. Now I updated iOS 8.1.1 to both device but Bluetooth can not find each other and pair them. How can I do?

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

  • Connecting iPhone to MBP via Bluetooth (Sync Contacts)

    Does your iPhone connect to your computer via Bluetooth? Mine will not.
    I have a new iPhone 3gs and a MBP. The MBP has 10.5.8. Pairing the two is easy enough, once the pass code is typed in to the iPhone a window on the computer says that pairing was successful. The IPhone is listed as a device on the computer as well as the computer is listed as a device on the iPhone.
    This is where the problem begins. They will not connect. I have tried everything I can think of including:
    Finding and dumping any BT prefs
    Wiping the 'devices' from the MBP
    Wiping the 'devices' from the iPhone
    Rebooting the MBP
    Rebooting the iPhone
    Re-pair the devices
    The iPhone pairs and connects to my BT headset no problem. My old cell phone (Nokia 6555b) pairs and connects to MBP no problem. Bluetooth works on each device, but they will not connect with each other.
    All I wanted to do was get my contacts sync'd .... pretty simple typically. After I gave up and hardwired to the computer to sync music, photos, calendars, etc I discovered I could sync contacts as well through iTunes .... BUT .... this does not solve the problem. If I were connecting Apple(s) and Orange(s) then pairing and connecting could understandably be an issue (other party hardware), but this is Apple(s) and Apple(s) .... Apple Mac to Apple iPhone .... a little embarrassing to say the least in regards to how I brag up my Macs.
    Any thoughts please?

    The BT on the iPhone is used for wireless headsets and stereo headphones - ie audio listening applications. The new APIs allow apps to use the BT to connect to 3rd party devices for some functionality (though I have not seen a device that has implemented this yet). Regardless, the iPhone does not support any manner of file transfer or sync via BT

  • Connect iPhone to Internet via Bluetooth

    I have a computer set up sharing ethernet internet connection via bluetooth. How do I connect iPhone to the Internet via bluetooth? (No cellular network, no wifi)

    I have a computer set up sharing ethernet internet connection via bluetooth.
    How do I connect iPhone to the Internet via bluetooth? (No cellular network, no wifi)
    You cannot. There is no network connection available TO the iPhone over bluetooth. When tethering becomes available, you will be able to tether your laptop using the iPhone as an Internet connection, but not the other way around. The iPhone CAN use wifi for its internet feed though, but not bluetooth. Bluetooth only supports headsets today.

  • Connecting iPhone and iPad via Keynote remote without Personal Hotspot?

    I live in Japan, where Personal Hotspot functionality is unfortunately unavailable.
    I bought the Keynote Remote app to control my Keynote Presentations with my iPhone, but in places with no wi-fi available, I cannot get my two devices to connect via bluetooth.
    Is there any way to link them? My keynote app is useless without a workaround.

    Check out this thread.  Go about half way down and read the post from Crankhead.

    You can pair one iOS device to another iOS device at least two ways:
    - Via app that use BT for peer-to-peer gaming
    - By a general purpose app like
    App Store - Bluetooth FileShare

  • Connect iPhone to ipad2 via Bluetooth?

    You actually can transfer photos between iOS devices with any number of wi-fi photo transfer apps. You will find the apps in the iTunes App Store.
    Here are two;

  • Connect iPhone to Mac via Bluetooth

    It's taken me a while, but I would like to link my iPhone 5 to my MacBook Pro using Bluetooth. I've paired the devices (supposedly - selecting the Mac in iPhone's Bluetooth list only offers "forget this device" - no settings shown), but when on the Mac I click Bluetooth Browse Devices it shows the iPhone in the list, but then reports "no device found". And if I click "iPhone > connect to network" it reports an error connecting, and "make sure network access is enabled and available on your device."
    So where do I enable network access on the iPhone? It's probably very simple, but I've hunted through Settings and can't find anything.
    Thanks!

    Well, I consider myself a rather advanced user and I gave up on this problem as soon as I encountered it. My iPhone is becoming more and more bothersome. Apple's instructions asking to refer to the phone manual, as if it was unaccessible to them, are a pain as well.
    The thing is that Android, with all the variety of phones it handles, got this straight time ago. As a number of other things in which Apple is lagging behind more and more -among the important ones, conection to a folder structure, not to apps' folders.
    I don't care about Apple's marketing strategies. The only thing that made me get an iPhone was to use apps (none of them made by Apple, by the way) in connection to my Mac. Now I am ready to move back to Android as soon as a few of those apps make Android versions. And I may as well even if not. I know both systems and, in my opinion, not only the OS but some terminals have been better than Apple's for a while.
    The only thing that hooks me to Apple for the time being is OS X, but to be happy with the price of its hardware I want spotless performance. Not public performances of their top executives nor economic performance of their stocks in the stockmarket, but spotless performance of my tools, in case this is not clear, as it seems not to be!

    Hey guys I hav an iPhone 4s n i've been having troubles connecting it to other phones (not iPhone) by Bluetooth. Is this's really impossible or there's a way of doing it?

  • Connect iphone to Lenovo via bluetooth

    I have an external bluetooth. I can pair my iphone 4 to the laptop, but then a failure and a driver not found...
    I dont know if the problem is from the iphone or from the laptop..
    Thank you for your help.

    hey V570,
    hard to say which, but if you have another device that has bluetooth, try that and since this is an external bluetooth dongle, get in contact with the manufacturer.
    they might have updates to the bluetooth driver for that dongle.
