HT204368 I have an IPhone 5 & Bluetooth just keeps searching & doesn't connect to devices I'm trying to pair with. Says "not supported"

Sorry, if I've posted in the incorrect place. First post, please bare with me.
I've been trying to transfer photos from my old Samsung Galaxy Ace & Toshiba laptop via Bluetooth to my iPhone 5.
iPhone but message of "not supported" comes up when pairing. iPhone stays in search mode when trying to discover devices & does nothing.
Thanking you all in advance for your patience, understanding & help.

All you can connect via BT are headsets and keyboards. You cannot connect to your Galaxy or laptop. That's why it says "not supported."

  • Why does my iPhone 4 Bluetooth just keeps saying "Searching" but won't show devices.

    When I go to my bluetooth settings, it says it's in discoverable mode & just keeps searching and not popping up any devices. I have iOS 7.0.2. I'm trying to connect my bluetooth headphones.

    I even tried to use bluetooth connection on both my parents' iphones, it just keeps saying "searching".

    Hello,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would need more information regarding what devices you are having an issue with to provide a better answer. However, most devices need to be placed in pairing mode before you will see them.  Try going through the article below as it may help with this scenario.

  • I have an iPhone 4s just eight months, it is normal that the battery lasts only 3 hours? please help me thank you very much.

    I have an iPhone 4s just eight months, it is normal that the battery lasts only 3 hours? please help me thank you very much.

    Three hours if definitely NOT normal. I get at least 48 hours out my 2 year old iPhone 4S' battery with light usage. Did you do the iOS 7 update on the phone it self (OTA) or through iTunes? In my experience most problems are caused by the OTA updates. For this reason I ALWAYS update using iTunes on my computer.
    I would suggest restoring your phone using iTunes on your computer and setting it us as a new phone. This downloads a fresh copy of iOS 7.1 from Apple and installs it on your phone. Just make sure that you transfer all purchased items (apps, music, etc.) as well as photos to your computer before restoring as the restore will completely wipe your phone. Do not restore from a back-up. Yes, you will loose all your data on the phone but restoring a back-up can restore the problem you are currently having back to your phone. Once your phone has been restored you can manually sync back your apps and music.
    Before restoring you can also check to see that battery-killers like Location Services, Background App Refresh, etc are only turned on for the apps that really need it. I recently read and article that said that the Facebook app can be a real battery killer. If you have this app installed turn of location services and background app refresh for this app and see if that helps. Also go to Settings / General / Restrictions / Location Services / System Services and turn off all the options in that menu. Your phone does not need any of those to function. Constantly using your phone's GPS is a huge battery killer. I only have Location Services enabled for Find my iPhone and Background App Refresh is turned off completely.
    I hope this helps.

  • I have an iphone 4 that keeps deleting my notes. How can I stop this from happening?

    I have an iphone 4 that keeps deleting my notes. How can I stop this from happening? I've had my phone over 2 years and only in the past 2 months has it started deleting notes. Now they are all deleted, but thankfully still in my email, but only on a computer.

    I guess he/she open Notes in Gmail settings. This archives (one way sync) notes in gmail account under notes label that is invisible if you are using the standard gmail setup on your iPhone. You can see it on desktop browser, Safari or gmail app in iDevice. Am I wrong?
    Sorry for bad English.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • Music spontaneously starts, stops, stutters at random and I'm not even using that app. Repeated attempts to pause the song and close the app have no affect. Just keeps popping on and off randomly no matter what I'm doing at the time.

    How do I eliminate this glitch?  Music spontaneously starts, stops, stutters at random and I'm not even using that app. Repeated attempts to pause the song and close the app have no affect. Just keeps popping on and off randomly no matter what I'm doing at the time. I tried double-clicking the Home button which brings up all of the active apps, touched and held the Music icon until all the icons started wiggling, tapped the Close icon in the upper left corner of the Music app to close the app completely, but the app is still open and still randomly stuttering. I did notice that the play button icon flashes in the upper right corner of the screen when this happens and it appears and disappears in concurrence with the Music app stuttering. When the music starts, the icon appears and when it stops, the icon disappears again. When the music stutters on and off, the icon appears and disappears rapidly and in sync with that random glitch. This just started today for no apparent reason. I turned the iPad off, waited 30 seconds and turned it back on. As soon as it was finished starting up, the same music glitch began again immediately. I'm using iOS 6.1.3.

    Well, no one seems to have any answers or ideas for me, I'll update what I've been able to accomplish.
    I reloaded all 14 disks in the time frame of watching Lord of the Rings on Fri. nite.
    Funny thing is, the first disk pulled the info from the online store! Hooray!
    Wait-then all the next 13 could find no information online...what the heck is up with that? So I MANUALLY assign each disk a new track # to co-inside with each disk, spent about 2 hours doing that.
    But still, itunes tells me my playlist is too large, there's not enough space on the ipod. so I unchecked 1 1/2 disks (I'd listen to 1/2 of disk 1 previously) and voila! there's my ipod full of my book. Finally. But what a lot of bother just to keep things in order!

    I have an iphone 4s just got the nano 6th generation for xmas can i use my iphone charger to charge the nano?

    Yes, you can. The iPhone 4S and 6th generation iPod nano use the same 30-pin charger, unlike the new Lightning charger used by the iPhone 5 and 7th generation iPod nano.

    You need to do as provided. If no change after restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.
