How can I link my iPad Air and iPhone 4s via Bluetooth, please?  They haveBluetooth turned on but will not find each other.

How can I link my iPad Air and iPhone 4s via Bluetooth, please?  They both have Bluetooth turned on but will only search and find nothing. The words 'Now Discoverable' appear under the search panel.

for the devices to find each other via Bluetooth you would need to turn on the iPhones cellular hotspot and then let them search for each other. As far as I have found this Bluetooth connection is only for connecting the iPad to internet via iPhones data plan.
To transfer photos you could setup a new photo stream and put the photos you want transferred in it. When it syncs to the iPad you can save directly to the camera roll and delete the photo stream. You may also be able to delete the photos old photos and re-add them to photo stream so it looks like they are new to the iPad.

  • 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!

  • How can I downgrade to 7.1.2 from IOS 8 (iPad air and iPhone 5S)?

    Since my update to IOS 8 i have Strong Akku Problems.
    I will back to IOS 7.1.2 with my iPhone 5 S and my Ipad air.

    Many Thanks for the quick answer. But this isn’t helpful for me. I've got no option for downgrade. Only for IOS 8 factory reset!!

    Can you restore from backup?  That would be best to keep all your stuff.  You can find usually several versions under restore option in iTunes.  I really hope you have one of those iOS7 versions backed up to iTunes.
    If you really want to start over, and I mean no contacts, photos, music, apps, anything but factory settings that aren't in the cloud or in one of the restore options. You can search ios 7.1.2 firmware and download it and install by shift click restore and choose the file you downloaded.  But that is a really desperate act.  But this also requires iTunes and if you've been using iTunes you probably have a backup.

  • HT5163 How can I backup my iPad Air?

    How can I backup my iPad Air using iTunes??

    Connect the iPad to your computer and follow this article:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    Use iTunes
    You can use iTunes to back up and restore your content on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Note that iTunes and iOS do not support installing backups of newer versions of iOS onto devices using earlier versions of iOS.
    Back up
    To back up the content on your iOS device, follow these steps:
    Make sure your computer has the latest version of iTunes.
    Connect your iOS device to your computer.
    Choose File > Devices > Back up.
    If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click the device from the list and choose Backup Now.
    You can also back up by syncing your iOS device with your computer. When you use iTunes to sync, backing up is the first step.

  • Why can't I download or open tif attachments on my iPad Air and IPhone 5s in mail running 7.1.2?

    Why can't I open tif attachments on my iPad Air and IPhone 5s in mail running 7.1.2?
    Tap to Download icon flashes but does nothing.

    I just hooked this thing up to my computer and was able to load new apps and update via the app store that way, installing them onto the iPad via sync. Very annoying though as I cannot make in app purchases etc still.
    Wish apple wouldn't pull this kind of junk.

  • How can i transfer my Ipad Library and Apps to a new laptop - my old one died

    How can i transfer my Ipad Library and Apps to a new laptop - my old laptop died before i could backup my library to an external hardrive

    You will need to do this via iTunes to start with as you need to copy your iTunes files to the new computer.
    If you have everything on your iPad you can select "transfer purchases..." when plugging your iPad into your new computer and in iTunes (right/ctrl click the iPad icon) after telling iTunes to not sync this iPad.
    Once the items are in the new iTunes then when it asks if you wish to sync to this new iTunes your items will be copied to the iPad again.
    However if you do not have all iTunes items on your iPad, then you will need to follow the instructions on to move iTunes first, then deal with your iPad.

  • My laptop has crashed and I can't sync my iPad air. I have tried to back up off I cloud but it hasn't transferred all of my photos or music. Is there anyway I can access my iTunes account any other way?

    My laptop has crashed and I can't sync my iPad air. I have tried to back up off I cloud but it hasn't transferred all of my photos or music. Is there anyway I can access my iTunes account any other way?

    Your iTunes account won't include your non-iTunes purchased e.g. music copied from CDs etc, nor photos that were synced from a computer.
    To get non-iTunes music you will have to go via a computer. If you don't have that music on, for example, an external drive, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back from a device : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer then there are apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy them between devices and/or to a computer (though photos are 'optimised' as part of the syncing process, so if you do copy them back to a computer then they might not be the same as they were on your laptop).
    There is also this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • I want to update my ipad into ios5 how can i backup my ipad apps and song?

    please help me how can i backup my ipad apps and songs thank you...

    To update to iOS 5.0.1 you need iTunes 10.5 on your computer. When you've got iTunes 10.5 installed then connect your iPad to it and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases - that will copy off your apps and iTunes bought music, films (not rentals if they were bought directly on the iPad), tv show, ibooks, but it won't copy off music bought from other stores or music copied from your own CDs (if they are no longer on your computer then you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off the iPad).
    You should also backup the device (right-click the iPad 'device' and select 'back up'), and copy off any important documents, files, notes etc (e.g. by email, the file sharing section at the bottom of the Apps tab in iTunes, wifi, whatever the apps that you use support) - the update process should backup and restore the content but it's best to be safe.
    If iTunes doesn't prompt you to update to iOS 5.0.1 on your iPad, then with your iPad connected to and selected on the left-hand side of it, then on the Summary tab on the right-hand side click the Check For Updates button.
