HT204387 Bluetooth accessory not visible from iPhone

Hi,
We have a Bluetooth accessory that uses the standard PAN profile. When the pairing is initiated from our device everything gets setup and it works fine. BUT when we try to pair our device from the iPhone (prefered by the user) it doesn’t even show up on the display, which makes the pairing impossible. We have tested iOS6 & iOS7
What do we need to do to be recognized by the iPhone / Apple? Does our accessory need to be approved by Apple in any way? According to the MFi information accessories using standard BT-profiles are not requested to join MFi.
Thanks

Yes, but we do not have any apps, we just want to access the internet via bluetooth teathering. I still don't understand why our device not even is shown, or if there is something we should do to get it recognized by the iPhone.
The issue is that our device only has a very limited user interface, which makes the pairing from that end very complicated.

Mail send from iPhone not visible from Macbook

Any mail I sent from my iPhone (latest OS) is not visible from my Macbook Pro (latest OS) in the sent box.
I need this to be fixed. How? I have read through the forums and there seems to be no fix to this. And yes, I have everything configured properly (ie. to keep sent messages on server, etc).
Any help to fix this would be appreciated as I need to access all my emails for work from my computer.

Please ignore the above . I have discovered what I did wrong - but don't know how to delete the question!
Sorry

Hello AliHoward,
You may need to completely remove iTunes, QuickTime, and other Apple software from your system prior to reinstalling. The following articles (one for Windows XP, the other for Windows Vista/7) detail the removal process. I'll also link you to the latest version of iTunes for Windows (64bit specific installer).

Iphone 4s coming friday, what is the best way to get the notes content from iphone 4 to 4s without doing a restore? i want the new phone to be totally new but not sure how to get notes content across.

What is the best way to get the notes content from iphone 4 to 4s without doing a restore? i want the new phone to be totally new but not sure how to get notes content across. If I do a restore as I have when previously from one iphone to another it has shown (in settings, usage) the cumulative usage from previous phones so all the hours of calls on all previous iphones will be displayed even though its brand new. Anyone know how I can get my notes (from standard iphone notes app) to my new iphone 4s without restoring from previous iphone 4. Thanks for any help offered.

First, if you haven't updated to iTunes 10.5, please update now as you will need it for the iPhone 4S and iOS 5.
Once you're done installing iTunes 10.5, open it. Connect your iPhone to iTunes using the USB cable. Once your iPhone pops up right click on it. For example: an iPhone will appear and it will say "Ryan's iPhone."
Right click on it and select "Backup" from the dropdown menu. It will start backing up. This should backup your notes.
Please tell me if you have any problems with backing up.
Once you backup and get your iPhone 4S, you must follow these steps. If you don't follow these steps, you will not be able to get your notes on your new iPhone 4S.
Open up iTunes again then right click on your device (iPhone 4S). Once you do you will see a dropdown menu. It will say "Restore from Backup..." Select this and it'll ask for a backup, select it from the dropdown menu. For example "Ryan's iPhone - October 12, 2011." Pick that and it will restore to your backup. Do this when you get your iPhone 4S so you will not lose anything. Even though you're restoring, you're getting back, since you're getting the previous settings, notes, contacts, mail and other settings from your old iPhone. You'll still have Siri though! So, restore when you first get it. Also frequently backup your device, as it will be worth it. You can restore from a backup if something goes wrong or save your data for a future update.
Once you do that, you should have your notes on your new iPhone 4S and iOS 5.
Please tell me if you need any help.
I hoped I answered your questions and solved your problem!

This accessory not made for iphone

"this accessory not made for iphone would you like to turn on airplane mode" message keeps coming up. I select no, I have to unplug and plug back in the apple earbuds, yes the ones that came with the iphone and it will work for a song or 2. Suspecting the earbuds perhaps have a short in them ( yes the right speaker is pretty distorted at volume) I tried to play my songs with no head set plugged in, and I still get the "this accessory not made for iphone would you like to turn on airplane mode" message. This phone is pretty much useless as an ipod, and frankly thats the only reason I bought it. My phone is approximately 3 months old. Is there a fix, is my phone a lemon or am I gonna have to send it out and be out of luck for awhile? Like most people Im very dependent on my phone and music. Thank you

done211,
The message you are describing occurs when either a device is connected to the dock connector port that is not designed to work with the iPhone, there is debris such as lint in the dock connector, or the dock connector itself is physically damaged.
Connecting something to the headphone port will not cause this message to be displayed.
Hope this helps,

Sitting in the dock - keeps prompting: this accessory not meant for iphone?

What is up with that? Keeps doing it over and over...

while sitting in the provided dock - keeps prompting:

What is up with that? Keeps doing it over and over...
1. It's not aligning properly with the dock. Take phone out and really look carefully at the dock and the port on the iPhone and attach them both very carefully making sure the phone is fully and completely seated in the dock.
2. Even when seated properly, the message may display once. Hit OK and move on.
Here's what I've learned having encountered this (though not the repetitive display of that message):
The old docks for our other iPods really are not quite fully compatible with the iPhone. (Shame on you Apple). Somewhere on this board is a note that the new docks will be coming out soon as these 3rd parties re-vamp. I know I know... where does that leave all of us who have all this stuff that we had working just fine with our iPods pre-iPhone. I dunno but they better come up with some fix other than buy a whole new clock radio, et al.
Business opportunity - make little dock adapters for really cheap that you just drop into all of your older iPod docks that go between the iPhone and the dock on the clock radios, et al that will bridge that gap, so to speak. Maybe somebody is already doing this???

There may be other ways, but the best way I've found is:
Set up an iCloud email account so that you can use the Notes part of this service. Note that I said "iCloud email" not "iCloud" ... you need to enable the email service of iCloud in order to get the iCloud Notes feature. Otherwise, the "Notes" app on your device will only store notes on your device, or maybe sync them with some other email account (e.g. Gmail, Yahoo ... but does so poorly IMO).
On your Macs, set up the same iCloud account as on your iPhone. Now that you've set up the email part of iCloud, you can enable the Notes feature of iCloud on your Macs.
Be sure to set iCloud as the default account to store your notes, in case you have other email services with a Notes feature.
New notes that you create on any device will sync to each other.
Notes that you created before doing all this cannot sync to your Macs, since the notes were not in iCloud. Just turning on iCloud Notes does not cause them to enter iCloud and sync -- you'd have to copy and paste them into a new note, after ensuring that iCloud is the default account for any new notes.

Some notes disappeared from iphone, and others are not synchronizing on ipad, mac, and iphone. What to do?

Hi, MPiaM.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need clarification on if you are experiencing an issue with syncing photos via iTunes or iCloud to provide a better answer. However, here are a couple troubleshooting articles that cover both scenarios.

Very aggrivating indeed. All those issues here as well. My Iphone is only a month old. I can't even hear when I am on YouTube there use to be a volume slider and it's completley gone. I am able to hear my phone ring but not txts. The unlock button doesn't sound and I'm sick of the prompt. " this accessory is not made for iPhone" " would you like to turn on airplane mode.
I've hit yes. I've hit no. I have dusted dock. I have removed sim tray. I have called apple who suggested reset. I reset. He also suggested that I plug my ear buds in several times Nd play around with it. NOTHING works. I am at lost what to do. I sure hope there's a good answer right around the corner. Please. If anyone finds out something let me know. Purty please with like whateever u want on top.

Accessory not supported by iphone just appeared. HUH?!?

I have an iphone 4 and for several accessories i get "this accessory not supported by iphone" I cleaned the contacts and still get it - any ideas? It never happened until recently and it happens in teh car adapter and other adapters.

Clean the dock connector with a soft dry brush.
In the future, try a search before posting... this issue is discussed regularly.

When i plug my supra ekey adapter into my iphone, I get the message "accessory not supported by iphone". I know the adapter works because I took it back to my realtor association and they checked it.

Try cleaning out the phone's dock connector. A soft dry toothbrush or similar.

Wahoo ANT - Accessory Not Supported by iPhone

I try to connect a Wahoo ANT+ Fitness device, model AP201, to my iPhone 4 with IOS 5.1. I get the error message "This Accessory is Not Supported by iPhone". My wife has the same iPhone and the same IOS version and the accessory is working 100 % correctly with her iPhone. I have tried the following: Reset device in iTunes, Restored backup from iTunes, Reset all setting; however, the same message appears on my device. I have also tried to remove lint etc. from the connector contacts. Any ideas what to do next?
Message was edited by: toreboes

This does not help you, but i would like to mention that I have the exact same problem with my AP201 model (iOS5.1.1).
- Connector is clean (very clean).
- IPHONE 3GS en IPAD2 are working correctly, and 4 different iphone4 models do not work....
I hope Wahoo or Apple has a solution to this problem.
