HT204387 Can anyone speak to why Apple will not allow iPhones to connect to Bluetooth enabled OBD-II readers for car diagnostics?
Hi! I have been reading up on Bluetooth OBD-II readers that plug into the onboard diagnostic port of your car and connect to apps like Torque. However, the readers cannot connect to iStuff (iPhones, etc.) because Apple apparently does not support the necessary Bluetooth profile to enable this kind of connection. Does anyone know why? And, is there anyway we could change that? All Android phones connect no problem. Thanks!
Apple doesn't share this information with us nor can we speculate about it.

My I4 will not allow me to connect a bluetooth. It keeps giving a message the pair list is full. There are no list available to delete. How do I correct the issue?
Check this article: iOS: Third-party Bluetooth headsets, headphones, and keyboards
Unpairing a Bluetooth accessory from an iOS device
If you've paired your iOS device with a Bluetooth accessory and no longer wish to use that accessory, you may unpair it. If you wish to leave the device paired, but route calls through a second, paired device, turn off the first device and then turn on the second device. Then in Settings > General > Bluetooth, tap on the device you wish to use.
From the Home screen choose Settings > General > Bluetooth. If Bluetooth isn't on, turn it on.
Choose a device and tap Unpair.
Until you pair the Bluetooth accessory again, your iOS device won't route information through it.
* Find information on which iOS versions and devices support which Bluetooth profiles. Not all Bluetooth stereo headphones include a mic. Only those with a mic and that support handsfree profile (HFP 1.5) can be used to make and receive calls. -
No Bluetooth headsets are compatible with IPhone 6 series-
I originally wrote this post to see if anyone else had come up with a solution to Apple's inability to engineer the Iphone 6 product line to be compliant with Bluetooth 4.0 that has been around for ONLY 5 years. Since you want to talk about driving while talking let's look at your evidence. 1) When you consider that the Washington Post will not admit to the number of participants participating in the study they site makes the study in valid as you cannot tell if any conclusion is statistically valid. The National Safety Council does not give what data it had or where it came from but is pure opinion- not factual. 2) When you look at your second source from Forbes- did you realize that the person who wrote it is a CONTRIBUTOR with no scientific data to back his conlusions? I happen to have be a licensed Insurance Agent for over 30 years. The largest insurance companies (who pay the claims) have not been able to draw conclusions about talking and driving as the number of incidents per million miles (determines the rates charged for coverage) have not been statistically different enough to go to state insurance commissioners to ask for rate increases due to talking and driving at the same time. The states that have enacted Hands Free Laws did so for 1 reason- if a person has 2 hands free to try to avoid an accident there is a higher probability that a driver will maintain control of their own vehicle vs. 1 hand. Can we stick to the subject- Do you think that APPLE should have made the IPhone 6 Compatible with Bluetooth Headsets and why haven't they done so yet?

Why apple is not allowing iphone 3gs to update into ios 7 ?
This is not good :(
Only Apple knows the precise reason why that older phone is not capable of running the next version of iOS. But the reason is most likely the same as why the original iPad cannot be updated to iOS 6 or later. As the operating system get more advanced it requires more processing power and memory. Older devices just won't be able to cut it.

Hi can anyone help my slot drive will not take cds its as if its locked shut
hi can anyone help my slot drive will not take cds its as if its locked shut
If you cannot insert any CD or DVD at all and there is no CD in that drive, then the mechanism might be defective. I've had that and Apple replaced the drive under warranty. To find out, I'd suggest an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar for a free diagnosis - if it needs repair and you're out of warranty, they'll tell you how much it would be (in that case, an external burner might be less expensive).

Can anyone tell me why i am not able to receive texts anymore on my i-phone? I can send texts, and can receive texts on my i-pad, but they don't come through on my phone?
Are you referring to a regular SMS text, or an iMessage. The solution is different based on what it actually is that you are not receiving. Are these from non-iOS devices (SMS) or iOS devices (iMessage)?

HT204380 why apple does not provide iphone 4 ability to use facetime using cellular/3G data?
Why apple does not provide iPhone 4 ability to use facetime using cellular/3G data?
Because you can't. That's why.
No one here can address any question as to "why" Apple made the decision they did. We do not represent Apple.
Speculation is prohibited by the TOU.
The fact is, you can't do it. If that's not acceptable, then buy a new phone. -
Am signed in to Adobe and trying to edit a form. Can pull up form but it will not allow me to edit the form. What am I doing wrong?
To elaborate on what Sukrit posted, it is likely that the form is not an Acrobat forum but a Designer form or was set for distribution and is locked for editing. I suspect it was probably created in Designer and thus can only be completed in Acrobat or Reader since the PDF is really container for and XML structure and does not have the basics of a PDF document. If that is the case, you either need Designer or you can print to a new PDF and use the field recognition feature of Acrobat to recreate the form. Of course, the latter will require some editing to the form fields in most cases.

Recently upgraded Mac OS to 10.5.5 - have an older G4 which is max'd out upgrade-wise - both processor and OS. At present Safari is 3.1.2. Itunes is 9.2.1. Itunes will not allow me to connect to store - says it requires Safari 4.0.3 - however, when I try to download Safari 4.0.3 or newer it says it requires an older version of the OS. What to do?
Update v10.5.5 to v10.5.8
Download and install the combo > Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update
Then restart your Mac.
That should update Safari for you to 5.0.6 and that should help with iTunes.
If necessary, after updating to v10.5.8, you can use the standalone Safari installer here > Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard
