HT204368 bluetooth keeps saying unsupported when trying to pair with another phone

new user, phone will not pair says other device not supported

That's correct. You cannot pair with another phone - except other iPhones from within apps that support peer-to-peer connections such as multiplayer games.
Here are the Bluetooth profiles supported by iOS: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3647

    When trying to pair my ipad2 to my wireless (bluetooth) keyboard, it will search from the ipad, but the light on the keyboard will jusk keep flashing, any help?

    Hello:
    An iPad will not connect (Bluetooth) to the KB.  As I understand the device, it should connect to your Bluetooth-capable Mac.

  • Bluetooth freezing up when trying to pair with a bluetooth headset

    I recently got a Plantronics Voyager 520 and whenever I try to connect it with my MBP it like freezes, not the whole computer though. Whenever I move the mouse into the top right corner (where the time and stuff is) it does the spinning thingy to show that its working. Also, system preferences stops working as well.
    I have a brand new macbook pro model that I purchased in June. I was hoping to be able to use my headset with it but I have no idea why it isn't working.
    Oh, and I paired the headset with computer fine. But whenever I try to connect them after that it doesn't work.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    If the error persists consider capturing a user mode dump of the crash to see if perhaps another, possibly third party, module may actually be causing the crash.
    You can configure Windows to create user-mode dumps. Create a System Restore Point first.
    If you copy and paste the following in Notepad and save as a .reg file (save with the .reg extension and give it any name such as explorerdump.reg) then right-click the .reg file and select "Merge" to add to the registry, a .dmp file at the time
    explorer.exe crashes should be created in the C:\CrashDumps folder:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\explorer.exe]
    "DumpFolder"=hex(2):43,00,3a,00,5c,00,43,00,72,00,61,00,73,00,68,00,44,00,75,\
    00,6d,00,70,00,73,00,00,00
    After Explorer (explorer.exe) crashes, can you then make the .dmp file available (provide link) via a public folder on Windows Live SkyDrive or similar site.
    Here's a couple of links on using OneDrive (SkyDrive):

  • When trying to connect with another iPad or iPhone user it tells me they are unavailable even when they are

    I am having trouble connecting with people on FaceTime.  When I try to connect with them using their email address it will come back saying they are not available when I know they are.

    The question is, Do they have the emai address that you are using configured as a, "You can be reached by Facetime at:" in Settings > Facetime?
    Of course they may be just choosing not to accept your call.

    I backed up my 3GS using iTunes. I then restored the file to my new 4GS. Then I synced the apps onto the 4GS. Then I downloaded 2 custom ringtones, and attempted to sync them onto the 4GS, but it says "This Library is already synced with another phone, and if you try to sync, you will lose all of the information on the iPhone." I am a Windows user. This Sync process is VERY confusing.

    How can I possibly get these two new ringtones onto the iPhone without wiping out everything else on the phone? This Sync process is nuts.
    I have Backed Up the phone twice. Why would iTunes try to wipe out the phone?

    Hi there
    I'm getting a similar problem with my Macbook Pro. itunes match was working fine until two days ago when i created another 'user id' for the laptop and then an itunes account for that user under their profile. Now i cant turn on itunes match on my itunes under my user account. Contacted Apple today who said to use the Express Lane and email the problem and they might be able to make an 'exception' on the account. Otherwise I'll have to wait 88 days to access a lot of my music on the macbook pro. itunes match is still working on the iphone 4S and ipad2.
    Can anyone help? The only thought was too re-stream the laptop. Ive already tried deauthorising the other user but it made no difference.
    Thanks

  • I have had apple products now for apron 7 years BUT have never been able to make the bluetooth work , not even when 2 products i.e. : phone and iPod are in the same room. So i stopped trying but would like to set it up between my iMac and i

    hi can anyone help please ? i have had apple products now for apron 7 years BUT have never been able to make the bluetooth work , not even when 2 products i.e. : phone and iPod are in the same room. So i stopped trying but would like to set it up between my iMac and iphone / ipad but can't get it to work, they say discoverable but just will not connect to one another. I also tried the connection code and tried without one ... NO JOY ... Is this common or am i a twit ?

    You can't connect an iPhone or iPad to a Mac via Bluetooth, except for Internet tethering.
    You're not doing anything wrong - it just isn't a feature of iOS devices.
    What were you hoping a Bluetooth connection would allow you to do?

  • ADSL Broadband keeps dropping out when trying to u...

    Hi, hope someone can offer some advice please.
    Our connection seems to have got a lot slower over the last few months (about 2.64 on a very good day) and now keeps dropping out when trying to use either the laptop or PS3. I have followed the advice on the self help guide and tried changing the ADSL filter, moved the hub away from the telephone, re-booting the hub and tried using it directly in the test socket and none of these have solved the problem. I have done a line test from work and it says there are no problems with the line??? I am getting really annoyed as we only have the phone line so we can use the internet so are paying over £40 a month for service we cant even use. I get the impression that as there are so many users on ADSL where I live (we dont have fibre optic yet) that it is too much for the exchange and that BT are upping peoples connections when they complain thus making other peoples worse (we had this problem about a year ago and complained and it was ok for a while)
    Could this be true? Or am I just thinking too much in to it? And does anyone have any suggestions on how I could resolve the problem? I have had a bad experiance with being charged for an engineers visit in the past (eventually refunded) so would like to avoid having to get them involved if possible.
    Thanks in advance.

     you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) http://speedtester.bt.com or http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9354/c/346,4740,5520 and post the results .
    Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

  • HT5163 I keep getting No Service when trying to connect my unlocked phone to a new carrier. I know the SIM card works so it is an iPhone or AT&T issue.

    I keep getting No Service when trying to connect my unlocked phone to a new carrier. I know the SIM card works so it is an iPhone or AT&amp;T issue. Can anyone help me with this please?

    You must complete the unlock process with the ATT SIM in the phone. Follow the directions you received with the email saying that your unlock was approved.
    At the end of the process you should have gotten an message saying that your phone was succesfully unlocked.

  • My daughter has just bought me an iPad 2 from Dubai and set it all up for me but unfortunately the iMessage function doesn't seem to work. We keep getting messages,when trying to activate it, that there is a network connection problem - help!

    My daughter has just bought me an iPad 2 from Dubai and set it all up for me but unfortunately the iMessage function doesn't seem to work. We keep getting messages,when trying to activate it, that there is a network connection problem - help!

    Thank you both for your responses but my daughter was reassured by the salesman in the iStyle store (official Apple store in the UAE) that iMessages would work but conceded that FaceTime wouldn't. My iTunes account is registered in the uk and my daughter's iPhone has iMessages even though she bought it (and uses it) in Dubai. Can anyone else throw any light on this?

  • HT1199 I bought my Macbook pro in 2010 and had Snow Leopard which I upgraded when Mountain Lion was available.  Now it keeps saying Mavarick is available.  Is that another update?  Or is that something else?

    I bought my Macbook pro in 2010 and had Snow Leopard which I upgraded when Mountain Lion was available.  Now it keeps saying Mavarick is available.  Is that another update?  Or is that something else? 

    Mavericks is an upgraded System in the same way that Mountain Lion was, the difference being that it's free. You can download the installer from the Mac App Store (the system requirements are the same as for Mountain Lion so you should be OK there). I've not got it: reports suggest that it is an improvement over Mountain Lion but it has some quirks that may or may not be an issue for you. It has its own forum, so you could look there for information.

  • Iphoto keeps quitting unexpectedly when trying to share photos on Facebook.

    iphoto keeps quitting unexpectedly when trying to share photos on Facebook.This only started a short while ago. I never used to have issues posting pictures before. Moreover, it also tells me there are issues with my library and prompts a "repair" of my iphoto library. This is scary - I have tons of pics and I'm not ready to lose any of them! I did change cameras a month ago, but it is the same make as I had before - a Canon powershot SX150 IS. Could it have anything to do with it? Could it be the fact that I keep so many pictures in iphoto (10,000 +)?

    How to backup? You should be doing regular backups - if you are not you will lose all of yoru files and photos sooner or later
    If you are not ready to lose all of your photos then you need to pruchase an external hard drive and start backing up immdeiately - for simplicity I recoommend a Time Capsule and Time Machine - but any backup is better than none - I do two daily
    For this simply make a temporary copy of your iPhoto library
    Will it fix the FB problem - hopefully
