Does iphone supports blutooth sharing with non Apple devices?

Does iphone support sharing with non Apple devices?

For that matter, it doesn't support bluetooth sharing with Apple devices either... except app to app connections that are specifically coded to communicate directly.

    spill water on my Iphone and I want to recover photos on my Ipad The pictures on the Iphone were not shared with other apple devices is it possible get my photos from the iCloud ?

    Had you set your iPhone up to use Photo Stream?
    Had your performed an iCloud backup of your iPhone before it was damaged?
    If you did neither of the above, then your photos are not in the cloud, and they are gone.
    If you performed an iCloud backup, then it would contain the photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll (taken on the iPhone) at the time of your last backup.  You could restore this iCloud backup to a device.
    If your iPhone used Photo Stream, those photos are immediately accessible to your iPad if you set it up to use the same Photo Stream.

  • Am I correct in assuming that Messages cannot communicate with non-Apple devices?

    Am I correct in assuming that Messages cannot communicate with non-Apple devices from laptops and or desktop apple devices?  From iPhone there seems to be no barriers to this using Messages.

    I wonder if Mt. Lion will include texting to "other" devices.  For there to be true continuity across platforms this needs to happen.
    Right now I am having an interesting thing happen - even messaging with another Mac User I am getting the red ! on all my messages sent from my mac.  Yet he is gitting them.  I am assuming this is some kind of beta thing.

  • How can I connect Bluetooth in iPad retina with non apple devices ?

    How can I connect Bluetooth in iPad retina with non apple devices ?

    What devices?
    The iPad can only pair with earphones, speakers and keyboards.
    It cannot directly pair with other phones or computers for file transfer or other operations.
    Most Bluetooth devices will have a user guide to connect them to other devices. follow that to start the process.
    From the iPad side, its just a matter of going inot Settings->BlueTooth turning it on, and searching for the device to pair. 

  • IPhone 5 Wifi Hotspot - Issue with Non Apple Devices

    Hi !
    I have iPhone 5 and a Working LTE connection , My Carrier officially supports data tethering. Previously i could turn on Personal Hotspot and use internet in my card with other Non-Apple Devices such as GPS , Samsung devices etc.
    But recently i noticed after update to 7.1.2 . I can turn on Hotspot
    1-  Apple Devices can connect to Hotspot such as Mac Book Pro , IPhone and iPad.
    2- Windows Laptop can use Internet Using USB Cable connected with iPhone but can not connect through Wifi.
    3- All other Non-Apple Devices ( such as Lumia 1520 , Samsung Galaxy S5 ) Can not Connect to Wifi Hotsopt.
    Is there any specific restriction or policy which is preventing this.
    I have tried , Reset All Settings , Reset Network Settings. but it does not work.

    Hi dumbcode,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    You sound very familiar with Personal Hotspot and have already done some good troubleshooting. In your situation I suggest going through the Wi-Fi trouble shooting section of the attached article.

  • Sharing iBooks with Non-Apple devices?

    My brother is an avid reader, but not an Apple user.
    Is there anyway to share books purchased via iBooks?

    Earle,
    I wonder if there's a confusion about iBooks the eBook and iBooks the G3 and G4 laptop computer?
    Anyway this could be possible, from:
    http://superuser.com/questions/634403/can-you-read-an-ibook-on-a-pc
    "The Apple store contains DRM, and non DRM encrypted ebooks. It is possible to export an ebook from iTunes and read it on your PC or put it on a non apple device (check with the apple license agreement before doing so)."
    He also references this thread:
    How can I read my iBooks on my PC?

  • Game saves sharing with your Apple devices.

    Hello. Couple days ago I bought my iPad2. And I have my iPhone 4 for a long period of time and I have some games that I adore to play. I was wondering how to send saved games to my new device to continue playing?

    For that matter, it doesn't support bluetooth sharing with Apple devices either... except app to app connections that are specifically coded to communicate directly.

  • Bluetooth file sharing to non apple devices

    Agreed, that Apple doesn't want piracy, but what about file types like documents and jpeg images that one would want to share over bluetooth with people having devices other than iOS? Its quite a handicap to flaunt around a $900 phone and then ask people to send via emails when they want to share something from their phones.

    Please read the subject and the original post.
    And please don't be sorry on behalf of apple. The fact that we love apple is what makes us want it to be perfect. And nothing/no one is perfect. But I'd rather do with a non standard ear phone jack or a camera without flash than Bluetooth file sharing, which is the most basic way of sharing files between portable wireless devices in general, and smart phone in particular.
    I'm also not ruling out possibilites of apple not getting license for incorporating this in the iPhone, from whichever company holds the patent for Bluetooth file sharing. Personally, I fell apple wouldn't leave out on something so basic.
    It's just that it should cite a reason officially.

  • Access Mail on Mac Server with non-Apple device

    I currently have a Windows server with Exchange installed and am considering replacing it with a Mac Server. IF I do that, can my non-Apple Windoes 7 & XP computers access Mail on the Mac Server as they now do with Exchange?

    Yes and no.  You will be able to access mail via IMAP but you will have a dickens of a time getting Address Book and Calendars to work.  Apple uses CardDAV and CalDAV respectively for these services.  Your options on WIndows are limited.  See here for options:
    http://caldav.calconnect.org/implementations/clients.html
    http://carddav.calconnect.org/implementations/clients.html
    If you are looking for something to "replace" Exchange, then check out Kerio Connect.

  • Can't make Airport Extreme router work with non-Apple device

    I am trying to help a friend who has a PC (Windows 7) that has a wired Ethernet connection to his girlfriend's Airport Extreme router.  He wants his Internet-capable Blu-Ray player and her IPad to wirelessly access the Internet via the Aiport Extreme router, with both the Blu-Ray player and the IPad's Internet access protected by WPA-2 encryption (both devices are capable of WPA-2).  How do I do this?
    Here are the problems we've run into:
    1)  The Airport Utility for Windows (5.6.1) has been installed on the P.C., and we've used it to update the firmware on the Airport Extreme router.  However, after we followed the Aiport Utility instructions to set up the network, all the router wanted to do was look for an Apple device.  His girlfriend and her IPad are out-of-town right now, so the only device within range was the Blu-Ray player, and the router did not see it.  Not only that, but almost all the menu options on the Airport Utility were "greyed out" (unusable), except for "Configuration."  I am very troubled by the fact that the Airport Extreme router seems to want to look only for Apple devices.
    2)  In order to get Internet access for his Blu-Ray player for the time being, my friend pushed the "reset" button on the Airport Extreme router, and he can now use his Blu-Ray player for Netflix and other Internet streaming options.  However, the Blu-Ray's wireless Internet access is an unencrypted connection, and the Airport Extreme router is displaying a flashing amber light -- not a good situation. 
    3) Although I know his girlfriend could access the router via her IPad when she returns, she is French-Canadian, and her IPad operates in French.  I happen to know some French, but I have enough trouble trying to understand  wireless networking terminology in English without having to try to figure out the equivalent terms in French.  Thankfully, the Airport Utility for Windows on his P.C. is in English, so that's what we've got to use to solve this problem.
    I have profound respect for Apple products, but I'm a Windows/Linkysis router guy, so that's why I'm stumped.  Can anybody out there help me?

    Which model of the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) do they have? What is the version of firmware that you updated it to?
    By default, the AEBS will broadcast an unsecured Wi-Fi network with a network name (or SSID) of something like Apple Network NNNNNN. This would be similar to a Linksys when first powered-up.
