HT201328 Trouble with iPhone Bluetooth seeing devices

Just purchased iPhone 5, but it will not see any Bluetooth devices, Jabra headset or my ipad. Tried the usual, turning Bluetooth off on all devices and powering down (rebooting) turning Bluetooth on etc. iPhone will not see anything and the other devices do not see the iPhone, hints anyone

Figured it out, thanks. It had been so long since, I had paired a new Bluetooth devices, I forgot to make Jabra discoverable (flashing blue-red). I am not sure why phone wasn't seeing iPad but when I made iPhone 5 a personal hotspot, it saw the iPad.

Trouble with Toshiba bluetooth stack

Hello, I'm having a trouble with toshiba bluetooth stack. I had windows vista installed in my laptop. I decided to upgrade to Windows 7. I had a bluetooth mouse attached to my toshiba bluetooth stack in windows vista. After upgrading to windows 7 my bluetooth mouse is not working any more and it is not listed in the devices list. But, when I switch my mouse on, the bluetooth stack icon tray turns green like when the device is connected, but it doesn't work and the device is still not listed. I'm trying to redetect it, but it is not detected. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the bluetooth stack, but in the reinstalation, my devices are still listed.
Anyone can help me or tell me how to remove manually all the attached devices? Thanks in advance.

It seems that the mouse has still stored the pairing information (normally it should loose it if the battery was removed).
The mouse tries to connect to the last connection, but the other side (PC) has not the information anymore.
Could you try to pair the mouse with any other PC or notebook before you try to pair it with your notebook again ?
Furthermore increase the security for this test by enabling the following option:
Right click Bluetooth system tray icon > Options > Security > Custom Level > Mode: Link level enforced security

Has anyone had trouble with their bluetooth headset? (even after pairing)

Has anyone had trouble with their bluetooth headset? I have a Motorola H700 that pairs with the iphone but takes about 10 seconds after i hit send for the connection between the phone and the headset to be established. I also get allot of static when the headset is more than 3 feet away from the phone. (this headset worked perfectly @ about 40' with a Motorola Razr I had)

HT1222 Is anyone having problems with iPhone Bluetooth to BMW s since iOS 6.1

Is anyone having problems with iPhone Bluetooth to BMW s since iOS 6.1?

Yes. I had an iPhone 3G and when upgraded to 6.1 the bluetooth connectivity failed progressively and eventually the phone just wouldn't connect. I broke and reestablished the pairing am few times and each time it would work for a while then disconnect to the extent I thought the bluetooth hardware in the car was failing. I then got an iPhone 5 and the same issue remained. In the last few days I've paired an old Blackberry with the car kit to rule out the BMW hardware. Blackberry is fine so it has to be iOS incompatibility.

Had trouble with iPhone 2.0 upgrade? CHECK YOUR FILESYSTEM!!

I can't find my original post (deleted?), but when I tried to do the first 2.0 iPhone upgrade the day it came out (BIG MISTAKE), I had a lot of trouble. Thanks to an Apple support person who was kind enough to call me, I deleted a file per his suggestion, which made the backup finish to completion and I was happy.
Or so I thought...
Now, several weeks later, I (or rather our IT guy) has discovered that some of my iPhone backup files were corrupted, which has made a mess out of my Macbook Pro (10.4.11)'s file system. It was not fixable with Disk Utility (in the Utilities Folder of the Application Folder) and only partially fixable with Disk Warrior. Nothing appears to be wrong with the hardware (except that my video port was malfunctioning although that problem had started way before the upgrade.)
If you had trouble with the iPhone 2.0 upgrade, I strongly recommend you verify the integrity of your Mac Filesystem. If there's something wrong, you may need expert help in repairing your file system.

Wingstat,
It should still work fine. I have the original iPhone and Apple BT Headset purchased about a year ago. I upgraded to the new 2.0 software 2 weeks ago. BT Headset works fine.
There has always been the occasional incident when I couldn't get the 2 to pair. This was always solved by un-pairing then re-pairing the two manually. To do this:
With your BT Headset:
Press and hold the headset's button until you here the 4, rapid descending tones
Your headset is now off.
On iPhone:
Open SETTINGS, then GENERAL, then BLUETOOTH
Under DEVICES, tap on the iPhone Bluetooth Headset link and select UNPAIR.
Note: If your headset doesn't show up here... keep going...
Tap on the DEVICES link again to put iPhone in DISCOVERABLE MODE
Back to your Headset:
Click and hold the button again... when you hear 4 ascending tones, keep holding
Keep holding the button until you hear 5 rapid, short beeps
Release the button: you're in DISCOVERABLE MODE here too.
Back to your iPhone:
You should see the Headset appear on your DEVICES list.
It should pop up and ask for Pairing Code
Enter 0000 on the iPhone.
You should be all paired up for good now.

I am having trouble with my bluetooth skipping while its playing music from my Itunes music...I thought that this was an antiquated problem with the new technology?

I am having trouble with the music from my bluetooth "skipping" on my IPhone 5. I thought that this was an antiquated problem with the new technology. It's very frustrating to purchase all of this music and expect great sound and playability and get "skipping". Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Does the issue occur when listening to the media using the speaker or wired headphones? If it does, the issue is with the media itself.
If it does not, it's likely a bad connection or interference.

Are people still having trouble with iPhone/HP Laptops?

Since I've had my Envy I've had no end of trouble with getting it and the iPhone to play nice. Any my search continues. So far, I have updated every bios, reinstalled Windows 7/iTunes many times, have restored the iPhone far more times than I care to remember and I am STILL having troubles with this thing. Having got through the Syncing issues with the PM55 chipset and iPhone I can now sync with my laptop. However all is not well as it would seem that I cannot sync my photo's. It doesn't matter if I have 0gb, 15gb or 30gb free, iTunes is telling me that there is not enough memory available. This error seems like an old one and there is even some info in the Apple KB but after following all that I still can't get it to sync my photo's.
Some info on my setup:
HP Envy 15 (all the latest drivers installed, bios F.24) Core i7-820, 8gb ram etc.
iPhone 32gb, ver 3.1.3
iTunes (whatever the latest one is)
I should add that I can sync my iPhone with an identical install of intunes on my vintage Quad core desktop PC, but as I use my Laptop a lot more (and have all my media, email, and contacts etc on it) I would prefer to sync to it.
Is there anything that I can do? Its very frustrating to have blown $4k on this equipment and it doesn't work...

Well I tried deleting the photocache but alas, no luck. I also tried syncing with just the photo's enabled, and it worked! So then I enabled my other media and that copied across too! I thought I was on a bit of a roll here, but now whenever I try and sync it will do one of 3 things:
iTunes will crash.
iTunes will indicate that there is not enough memory on the device (+9GB free)
iTunes will remove the iPhone from the sidebar (and my computer/disk management) even though it will continue to charge.
Interesting point to note is that it works fine (cable/iphone/itunes/media library) on my desktop and macbook. Still really disappointed that I cannot get these two to cooperate. Also still haven't got any contacts from outlook but that may not be related?

Having trouble with iphone 5 music starting randomly.

My music or audiobook starts on its own at times. Can't figure out what is happening? Is it a bluetooth issue? Then I have to take it back to the beginning of book and lose my place.

Camera is not functioning
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center. Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll. Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

Has anyone faced troubles with iPhone internal speaker?

Unfortunately, since I've bought my iPhone 4S less than 8 months, I'm facing troubles with the internal speaker of the phone.
It was enough just to restart the device to get the ringtone and speaker work.
But today, suddenly, the voice has disappeared again! I can hear the ppl calling me but no any other tones or rings r working.
I googled for a solution, and I was shocked that I found a lot of iPhone users r facing the same problem!
With all types of iPhone, seems it's been a long time problem with apple software that apple hasn't found a solution to it, nor admitting that they have such problem.
I need to get my phone fixed, but I do t want to lose my data, photos, a d programs..
And I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE MY PHONE AT A WORK SHOP! It's a HEADACHE?
So please if u have any other easy solutions to provide, I'll be so thankful.

Have you tried resetting your iPhone?
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"
A further troubleshooting step would be to backup your iPhone and then restore it as new using iTunes.

HT2954 Trouble with email on multiple devices, help!

I also was just reading one, and went to read it later and it disappeared, very frustratiing!
Thanks!

Is it POP or IMAP accounts we're talking about?
Not much to go on, but it sounds like maybe POP & some devices are set to remove it from the Server after downloading, & others set to leave it, then it sounds like Syncing may be involved if IMAP with the disappearing, the device not getting it resetting the Server or other devices.

Having trouble with iPhone 5 sound level changing.

When I touch the edges of the side of my iPhone 5, the phone vibrates and the sound level goes to zero. I have to press the sound level button to change it back to whatever setting I had it at in the first place. Any suggestions to solve or is this normal?

Troubles with iPhone 4...

Hi
I am using an iPhone 4, and I bought it a bit over a year ago. I updated the iOS to iOS 5.0, and after this my iPhone has troubles with talking to my computer... After I configurated it (which iOS 5 was so kind to do without asking...) it did not want to open any of my former Apps or showing any of my music on my iPhone. After configurating it a couple of times it started to show some signs of "restoring", but I still have troubles updating songs on the iPhone. In iTunes I can still change infomation on songs (such as album name, picture, artis and so on), but the changes never appear on my iPhone. I have tried shutting down the iPod program on my iPhone and restarting the iPhone without any luck. I am using the latest version of iTunes on a computer running Windows 7. The computer itself is a custome made, stationary, gaming computer, but the specs on it should not in any way cause these troubles. Anyone having any idea of how I can solve this? Thanks in advance

On iPhone 4 with IOS 5.1.1 is there a power saving mode activated at some moment ? and if so is it configurable some where ?
i ask because my problem seems to be that iphone enters power saving mode just like a PC ou Mac
I also noticed that in this case it is very long to get it back started ...... much longer than a boot after a normal shutdown....
Further more after a normal boot it ask the SIM Pin Number after this sort of wake up after power saving mode ...... it does not ask !

TS3018 Bluetooth trouble with iPhone 5

My iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.4 is not connecting to the Bluetooth device JBL Flip portable speaker. Any solutions?

You should really start your own topic since this one is about a video recorder.
In your new post list the make and model of the speaker you are trying to connect with and what you have tried so far.
Sorry, wrong Flip. Is yours a JBL? Is it in discoverable mode? Do you have another device paired with it?
