How do I get a bluetooth hotspot working (iPhone5 to MBA)?

I have an iPhone 5. When on a cellular connection I can enable to Personal Hotspot and this works over WiFi (my MBA can connect via WiFi and this works). But I would like to be able to connect by Bluetooth from MBA to iPhone. Connecting works (I can pair them), but on the MBA, this does not give me a working internet connection. The MBA for instance, does not get an IP address from the iPhone. What am I doing wrong?

On your Mac:
You did this:
System Preferences > Bluetooth. Click "Set Up New Device" and follow the onscreen instructions
Correct? Bluetooth was turned on and set to "Discoverable" in the Menus bar, correct?
System Preferences>Network...is Bluetooth PAN listed here?

How do i get the bluetooth to work om My 3GS?

How do i get the bluetooth to work on My 3GS?

File transfers over BT are not a feature of the iPhone. There are some apps in the App Store that will let you transfer photos from one iOS device to another. There may also be some that will allow music. Search the App Store and read the reviews before buying.
For what it's worth, file transfer over BT is very slow.

Help How do I get car bluetooth to work with iphone

I just bought a Santa Fe with bluetooth but when I try to pair my 3GS iPhone it will pair then gets disconnected. Does anyone know why?

I have a 2010 Hyundai Tucson and I have intermittent problems with the bluetooth using my iphone. It's a 32GB 3GS with ios 4.0. I had no problems pairing it.
Most of the time, everything works great but about 20% of the time I try to use the bluetooth and the NAV screen indicates that there was a dialing error. The weird thing is that the phone menu on the NAV screen always shows 'connected' and through the speakers I can hear the phone dial, but then the error appears on the NAV screen (phone menu). What's strange is that the phone itself continues dialing but the call doesn't transmit through the bluetooth. I have to manually use the phone at that point.
It also has a tendency to lock up the NAV screen for a couple of minutes afterward, meaning I can't switch back to XM. When this happens and I look on the bluetooth menu on the phone itself under 'Tucson', the phone says "Not Connected".
This happens when the phone is connected via the USB/Aux cable as well as when it's sitting in my pocket.

How can i get my personal hotspot working on my iphone 5?

i want to activate personal hotspot on my iphone 5, but personal hotspot on my iphone is not highlighted, making it impossible for me to turn it on. I am based in Nigeria, but when my iphone was brought, it came with AT&T sim card. Now i am using MTN Nigeria Sim card. Why can't i work with personal hotspot?

You have to enable that hotspot "feature" with your mobile carrier in Nigeria.

Apple really doesn't care what you think. They have an extremely low opinion of users. The real issue is Apple has continuously dumbed down their devices to match their clientele - and at that they are brilliantly successful.
They even handed over most of their support to a bunch of unpaid non-apple people. Even more brilliant.

Unless that feature is available on the keyboard itself, then you probably can't. You either have to press the shift key when an uppercase letter is desired or hit caps lock.

Will not work. To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported. The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

I am trying to setup my ipad 2 but I can't get back to the wi-fi connections section. How do I get there, nothing is working.

I am trying to setup my ipad 2 but I can't get back to the wi-fi connections section. How do I get there, nothing is working.

The Wi-Fi connections section is in Settings > Wi-Fi
If the home screen is not visible tap the Home button, the button on the front of your iPad that has the rounded square in it. Once you reach the Home screen swipe through the screen of apps until you find the Settings app. Tap Settings and go to Wi-Fi.
If your iPad is completely non responsive, try a restart.
Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep button simultaneously ignoring the red slider. Keep holding until the Aple logo appears and your iPad will restart.
The sleep button is on the side of your iPad on the side opposite from the Home button.

Does anyone know what I can do? I am unable to switch screens, and I can not see the track that is playing. The only was I can switch between songs is to use the controls on my headphones.

Try the stamdard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.
