I can pair my bluetooth device but no sound comes over the speaker...??

I dropped my phone and did a factory restart last week. I'm able to pair Bluetooth devices but no sound will come over any device...???

Hi cknsdn,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you are having issues with the bluetooth please follow the troubleshooting steps in the attached article. You have already done a good job restarting the device but I would make sure to complete the other steps listed in the article.

Should my iPhone 1 (iOS 3.1.3) with Bluetooth 2.0 (Handset HSP?) work with wireless earbuds with BT 4.0 and the Headset (and Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP) protocol? They pair and connect; status bar looks good. But audio always comes out the speaker. Thx.

Should my iPhone 1 (iOS 3.1.3) with Bluetooth 2.0 (Handset HSP?) work with wireless earbuds with BT 4.0 and the Headset (and Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP) protocol? They pair and connect as expected (with a PIN); status bar looks good and shows Bluetooth active, and I even see the iPhone displays the battery levels of the wireless earbuds. But audio always comes out the speaker. (If I plug in wired headphones into the headphone jack then audio comes into the wired headphones, as expected.) I have rebooted the iPhone; I have had it forget about the wireless earbuds, and repaired and reconnected; I have reset all network settings. Thx in advance.
PS: I understand that more recent versions of iOS have a way to choose where audio output goes (speaker, headphone jack, Bluetooth device). Does this older version of iOS? I could not find an option or setting.

I've noticed this lately as well, with my iPhone 4. I couldn't confidently pin it directly on any particular iOS update, but my iPhone used to automatically connect up via Bluetooth with my Prius's handsfree feature, and now it doesn't. I work with a CE-based device at my job, with Bluetooth capability, and I used to test out that feature by having it discover my iPhone. This no longer works either.
What I have found (not really a solution, but it does work and may be a clue for Apple) is that if I simply go to the Settings app then the General -> Bluetooth screen and let it sit there, it will pair right up with my car within a few seconds. Bluetooth is always on, and always says "Now Discoverable" at the bottom of the settings screen.

Just upgraded my 2014 iMac to yosemite. Now my Bose sound link won't work. The bluetooth is connected and it beeps as normal, just no sound comes from the speaker. This is very frustrating (along with the now flat rather than 3D icons on the desktop)

I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:

What devices?
Iphoen supports bluetooth for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone devices, some keyboards, some apps from the app store and interenet tethering if provided by your carrier.
It does not connect to computers, other phones,etc.

I just bought a new 2013 Honda civic and my iPhone 4S won't pair with the cars Bluetooth device but it did on other people's iPhones; I have no other Bluetooth devices on my phone. Any suggestions?

I have to ask,
Are you making sure you are in park before attempting the sync? The car won't allow you to do it in motion, whether or not you're the passenger.

How do I upload the contacts from my iPhone 5S to the Bluetooth device on my Toyota RAV4. The car manual says to consult the phone's bluetooth instruction manual, but I don't have one.

That is very strange... I wonder if it has something to do with the firmware or some sort of error. I haven't ran into this but at the shop I work at I've ran into several firmware errors on iPhone 4 all the way through the 5s. Maybe its something as simple as putting a different part of the code into iTunes... I know you can something of this extent. I would look up error 1669, I know you have tried a number of things but look it up on the forum and see what fixes are available so that you may be able to restore it properly without all this garbage you are running into. Just a thought for you.

Have had to re-pair all Bluetooth devices since iOS 7

It seems that I've had to re-pair all bluetooth devices with my iPhone and iPad since upgrading to iOS 7. Was this expected or is there some issue with iOS 7 that is affecting existing bluetooth pairings?
Has Apple posted any knowledge base articles on this yet?
Thanks,

WiseJD's comments are fascinating to me, because I had the opposite situation. My iPads, with which I have never used Bluetooth, both came up with Bluetooth "On" after updating to iOS 7. I was surprsed by this.
As I recall, my iPhone also had Bluetooth on after the upgrade.
By the way, I also have a Lexus and can report no pairing issues since the update.

My computer recognizes my bluetooth device but not connected. How do i connect?

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears.

Is anyone else having issues pairing their bluetooth device to the new iphone 6?

Is anyone else having problems with pairing their bluetooth devices like Blue Ant or Jabra to your iphone 6?

Hi Diana,
There are dozens of threads and posts regarding this topic in this forum alone, and probably a lot more in other forums on the Web: it's a known software issue affecting iDevices running iOS 8.0.x, and it won't probably be fixed by Apple until they release iOS 8.1, in about two weeks, maybe less.
I too would prefer to use my (old but reliable) Sony Ericsson Bluetooth headset to listen to my music, but for now, I'm back to the regular cable one that came with my iPhone 6. It's not half-bad, but no match, sadly.

HT1414 Ipod Touch can't find Bluetooth device. (Jam Box) Upgraded Itunes software did a backup and restore on the Ipod. My PC sees it fine. IPod used to work with JamBox. Reset Jambox, no luck. Followed every instruction from the forums. Still no luck

Our airport extreme network works fine with our 6 devices. But when someone comes over and tries to log on, they can't until we restart the airport. Then they can get on, but it knocks one of our devices off the network. Any ideas?

I have not done a factory reset, I was trying to find out if I had some setting configured wrong first. I figured I'd just make things worse if went through a reset!
Here is a couple of screen shots:

Hi,does anyone know how the Iwatch will play music when it is not near a bluetooth device as it is stated in the feature setting..Icloud streaming,internal hard drive?

Hi,does anyone know how the Iwatch will play music when it is not near a bluetooth device as it is stated in the feature setting..Icloud streaming,internal hard drive?

I did not hear them state the feature requirements directly in the streaming even but there are statements on the Apple website that clearly say that an iPhone is necessary. I'm guessing that other than Bluetooth for pairing with the iPhone, it's just not technically possible to fit any other radios such as WiFi or LTE into that form factor or battery capacity. I don't even remember them mentioning if it had a speaker or could pair directly with bluetooth headphones.
While I'm hoping that the watch has a reasonable stand-alone feature set, they didn't make it clear what exactly it can and can't do without an iPhone nearby. I also hope that they communicate this better in the coming days.
