Why won't ipad bluetooth pair with car stereo
"searching" goes on and on, text is gray
Here's another article that may pertain ...
It could be that your car stereo needs a firmware update. See:
TS4483
UPDATE: Never mind -- not likely since you said it works with your iPhone.

My iPod touch won't pair with other devices
While trying to pair with another iPod device using Bluetooth the device said " sherry's device not supported" how do I fix this problem so I can b able o pair with other devices.? Help please
An iPod can pair to an iPhone for tethering to the phones internet connection if the phone is subscribed to the optional tethering data plan. An iPod can also pair with another iPod (and iDevice) via app that allow peer-to-peer pairing. That is mainly for gaming. See the following for more information on BT:

Why can,t I bluetooth pair my iPhone 3GS with my new iPad, it does not even show up as discoverable. What can I do to fix this
For what purpose are you trying to pair them?
Only supported peer to peer apps such as photo transfer or multiplayer games can connect to other iOS devices via Bluetooth. You initiate the connection inside the app running on both devices. -

I have updated my MB to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 - I know this means I am a little behind the times but the problems I am now having seem to justify my reluctance. Now am unable to connect to the internet! I use a time capsule connected via a router. Everything is still OK with every other device (PC, I phone, Ipod) in the house so I know the "Network" is still enabled and there is no problem with the ISP. Strangley whenever I boot up the MB it appears to freeze the network such that the other devices also will then not access the internet. To regain access I have to turn off the MB and reset the router. Any help gratefully recieved as I have tried some of the ideas i have found in the internet but nothing is working. Thanks.
That's odd.
Try this: Unplug your Time Capsule and your router. On your MBP, click the Wi-Fi icon and select "Open Network Preferences".
Click the lock icon to authenticate, then click the "gear" and select "set service order". Wherever AirPort (or Wi-Fi - I forget what Snow Leopard calls it) appears, drag it elsewhere in the list. Click OK, then Apply, then power up your router and TC.
If that doesn't result in any change, repeat the above but try making the service(s) you do not need "inactive".
The purpose of this is to reset or at least change your Network Preferences, which somehow got confused upon upgrading to SL. -
My Macbook air's bluetooth does not sustain paring with my iPhone 6 so I cannot use my airdrop. Is there something wrong with my mac's bluetooth or is there something I need to do to activate it? My iPhone's control center has its airdrop open on everyone and with bluetooth open.
<Personal Information Removed by Host>Both devices need to have their Bluetooth on, but they need not (and indeed cannot) pair.
A MacBook Air can communicate to an iPhone using AirDrop. Both devices would have Bluetooth on without pairing as I described. But actually if you have a mid-2011 MacBook Air, that computer is too old to communicate that way, so you are out of luck.
Here is more information:

I want to pair my iPhone 5s with the Mini Boombox I was using with my iPhone 3Gs.
Once the iPhone Bluetooth setting has been switched on the 5s just continually searches for devices and finds nothing - although the Boombox is beside it on my table (yes, and switched on).Hello Ken,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your new Bluetooth Mini Boombox. I am sure you are eager to use your new speaker.
I recommend reviewing the following article for steps to troubleshoot the issue you described:

The other family member needs to create their own Apple ID to be registered and used with iMessage on their iPhone and get their own iCloud account to be accessed on their iPhone instead of sharing yours.

CAr charging?
That would be because the charger isn't putting out enough power to charge your Phone while in use. Not all car chargers are created equal in terms of output. After doing some research, I found there are some you can buy, but this one seems to be about the best option. It's $15 and you can get it on Amazon.

There are mny things you can do with Bluetooth on Apple Devices. You can use it with BT headphones, Speakers, Keyboards, In Car Media Centers, and Hands free devices.
You cannot use it with other Apple Devices or other mobile devices to transfer files, but you can use it to share interent connection between these devices.
What exactly do you want to accomplish? -
I'm trying to connect my iPad to my Samsung galaxy s by bluetooth but the ipad will pair with it but not connect and says "its not supported" does anyone know what this means and how I get it to work?
iOS devices do not have the BT profiles that support file sharing and othr general functions. See:

Basically it support headphones, keyboards, speakers, peer-to-peer gaming
