How to pair bluetooth with other devices

need help...my iphone 5 bluetooth will not pair with any devices..

As Allan says, this has never been a feature of the iphone.
It supports bluetooth for handsfree tele[hone devices, stereo headsets/speakers, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps from the app store, and internet tethering if provided by the carrier.
Other than this, it will not connect to other phones or computers.

  • Cannot pair Bluetooth with 2008 BMW - 'Uncaught exception: java.lang.​Classcast Exception' message

    I have been trying to pair my 8100 with my new 2008 model BMW 135i built in car kit using Bluetooth set up. The phone finds the car kit and the two appear to pair (confirmation numbers entered etc) but then the Smartphone screen freezes and the following error message appears 'Uncaught exception: java.lang.Classcast Exception'. The phone cannot then receive or make calls (won't even turn off until battery removed). Have been through the whole process several times. The car will pair with other phones and my 8100 will pair OK with other devices. Can anyone help?
    Thanks, Paul.

    I have got aorund the problem by disabling address book transfer. I can now receive calls and make outgoing calls by either dialling on the blackberry itself or using the BMW idrive controller. It is better than nothing and my main use anyway is for incoming calls while driving. The whole idea of the integrated system was to be able to scroll through the address book on the steering wheel buttons and view the address book entries on the satnav screen.
    I have had similar problems in the past with an integrated system in a Porsche. The Blackberry never establised bluetooth contact with that system at all.

  • How should i share file with other devices such as nokia,blackberry and etc using bluetooth

    I want to share  files between other deivce such as nokia but couldnt, could u help me tell how can i share files with other devices???

    @AKRBTN: Thanks for the reply and info.
    That is a solution, but it really isn't viable.
    It is sad that apple refuses to support this.
    A simple example: Sitting somewhere with no signal and you want to share a file (photo) with your colleague or friend, who happens to be right next to you.
    Or even if there is signal and you don't want to be paying fees or data charges.
    Or you may be in a rehearsal studio and need to share that very important file and have no time to go outside and get signal and try to send the file, which then everyone else has to go outside and catch the signal and pay fees.
    Anyway, I see that this is a dead end with apple, so I guess I will be back to carrying 2 phones around again.
    Peace,

  • My iPod touch won't pair with other devices

    While trying to pair with another iPod device using Bluetooth the device said " sherry's device not supported" how do I fix this problem so I can b able o pair with other devices.? Help please

    An iPod can pair to an iPhone for tethering to the phones internet connection if the phone is subscribed to the optional tethering data plan. An iPod can also pair with another iPod (and iDevice) via app that allow peer-to-peer pairing.  That is mainly for gaming.  See the following for more information on BT:

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Since you are having an issue with syncing to a different apple id. You may want to make sure you are signing in with the correct apple id.

    Could be a problem with the contacts on your iPhone's connector.  Try cleaning the contacts using compressed dry compressed air, blowing on the contacts using your mouth being carefully not to spit, or using a very soft dry brush.

    There are mny things you can do with Bluetooth on Apple Devices. You can use it with BT headphones, Speakers, Keyboards, In Car Media Centers, and Hands free devices.
    You cannot use it with other Apple Devices or other mobile devices to transfer files, but you can use it to share interent connection between these  devices.
    What exactly do you want to accomplish?
