I cannot connect my I pad mini and iPhone using Bluetooth.

I'm not sure what made you think that that was not what Regal trail was asking... I am having the same problem and wish that that question had been answered! I believe I've gone through the same steps that used to work, to no avail now. But I'm betting that you (Chris) have the answer to this!
In a nutshell: I'm trying to share my iPhone's cellular connection with my WiFi-only iPad Mini, using a Bluetooth connection. I used to do this regularly, but went for a period of time without the need for it, and so am hard pressed now to identify which thing that might have changed during the interim would have made it no longer work.
iPhone is connected to internet via cellular data (AT&T LTE). Bluetooth is on. Personal Hotspot is on.
On iPad, Bluetooth is on. My iPhone shows up in the list under My Devices, and I can select it, and it will connect for approximately 5 seconds. The shared connection icon shows up on the iPad. The iPhone (on the Bluetooth screen) shows, for those 5 seconds, that the iPad is connected, but the shared connection status bar never shows up on the iPhone.
After 5 seconds, it disconnects.
Thoughts? Need more info? Let me know! Thanks.

How to use keynote remote w/ iPad and iPhone using Bluetooth

Using IOS 7.0.6 on iPad and iPhone can't get a connection via Bluetooth to use iPhone as a remote to control keynote on iPad. Bluetooth is on, remote is enabled in keynote on both devices but that is as far as I get. I'm looking for some instructions for what seems to be a simple process. Searched all over and only find outdated instructions or instructions that appear incomplete. I don't think my Wi-Fi connection at work will allow this type of connection that's why I want to use Bluetooth. I can't get the 2 devices to do this on my home Wi-Fi either. Using the latest update to keynote. iPad is work issued and not sure if it is iPad or iPad 2 but I don't think this would make a difference. Any help would be much appreciated. Very frustrated at this point.
Thank you,
Carl

Hey, I had some issues but I finally figured it out thanks to this article: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-use-keynote-to-control-keynote-on-ios-mac/
Basically, you find the remote (let's say your iPhone) while your iPad has a presentation active then go to Presentation Tools on said iPad and link your iPhone. Your iPhone has to be searching for a device after you tap "Add Device."

Can I share music between Mac and iPhone using bluetooth

While I use Home Sharing to allow my phone and my wife's to access an iTunes library housed on my Macbook Pro, when we travel by air obviously we do not have Wi Fi available. I know I can buy a "Y" cable to connect two sets of earphones to my Mac so we can both listen to music without disturbing other passengers, but I'm wondering if we can eliminate cabling both devices to the Mac by using bluetooth?
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Thanks

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Connection between Sony ericson PDA and desktop using bluetooth

Hi folks,
My desktop is bluetooth enabled using a motorola USB dongle and I have a Sony Ericsson 910i PDA. My program which is written in JAVA needs to communicate with a midlet running on the PDA. Unfortuantely it doesn't, 'cause its not able to discover the PDA nor find the services.
I have tried most of the bluetooth libraries like jsr82,bluecove,atinav,avelink .... but even the test programs which come as a part of these jars do not discover my PDA.
The motorola USB dongle comes with a Widcomm bluetooth stack versioned 4.0.1.2500.
Am stuck up with this from past 4 weeks and its really frustrating.
Can anyone please help me regarding this.
Thanks in advance,
$hanki

Can u tell me from where u downloaded the Widcomm..
i am unable to download Widcomm..

I connect my i-pad mini to my wireless router but when i try to use the internet i get a pop up saying "unable to connect with server. check your internet connection and try again i try and try it still wont work anybody know how to fix this

I connect my i-pad mini to my wireless router and it says im connected but it wont let me do anything anybody know why ?

You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

I would suggest that you buy a visa or mastercard gift card and put a few dollars on it and use it to access the store. Just add money to it before you want to buy something from the store and it will act like a normal credit card for you.

How do i connect my I-pad mini to cisco leap authentication

I have a new I pad mini and I want to connect it to my organization wireless network, the organization is using cisco leap for authentication.

It has a built-in Thunderbolt cable, see here: http://www.apple.com/displays/specs.html
So assuming your mini has a thunderbolt port (you said it's new so I assume it does), you'd just plug the display's thunderbolt cable into the mini's Thunderbolt port.

I cannot connect my new iPad mini to my iPhone 4S by bluetooth

Hi there,
I have just got my iPad mini wifi .
In the apple store the assistant showed me that it was possible to Bluetooth with my iPhone 4S
Now I am home I cannot connect the 2 devices .
I have reset both devices as well but the only device discoverable is my daughter's laptop.
Her iPhone 5 is not discoverable either.
What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks folks,
Ken

Other than the Hotspot feautre, there is no way to connect iPad and iPhone through bluetooth, because there's nothing they can do when connected.
I am assuming what the person at the Apple Store showed you was the Hotspot feature, in which case you need to Turn on Hotspot, and then turn on Bluetooth.

Cannot connect to Lacie Ed Mini with new Airport Extreme BS

I've just bought a new AE and cannot connect to my Ed Mini when its connected to an ethernet port when using an XP PC. I'm using the AE in bridged mode (temporarily) but I'm not sure if this is preventing being able to connect to the drive or not. Help!! any ideas? thanks in advance.
Windows XP Pro

Thanks Stuart, nice set up!
I listened to your advice and it worked!!!! They are both synced up, however somewhere in the setting I seem to get some problems.
I can use both Desktop(LAN only) and Imac (wireless only) to play Airtunes however I realized that the Imac is surfing the net using the Airport Express rather than the Airport Extreme. Hence a very slow surfing experience.
I went back into the Airport Express and set to join an existing network and tried using a different name, so the Imac won't use the Express to do the surfing. Upon resetting the Express, the green light is active which is good news but now I cannot play Airtunes on both my machines. So I guess even with the green light, the Extreme and Express are not linked up. Am I right?
Furthermore I can get my Imac to use the Extreme to surf the net which is ideal but have the problem where I cannot play Airtunes with Express. I think it's because Express is not linked with my Extreme base station.
What I want is for both machines to surf the net at normal fast speed using Extreme, and for Itunes to connect to Express via Extreme and play my music using Airtunes so I can get great music out on my HiFi.
Any solutions, or settings I need to do? Much appreciated for all feedback from members here.
Thanks!

I-Tunes cannot connect to I-Pad but i forget the I-Pad password. What should i do?

I-Tunes cannot connect to I-Pad but i forget the I-Pad password. What should i do?

If you've forgotten the passcode then you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode before your computer's iTunes will recognise it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/resync your content to it.
If you do it via a computer that it' not normally synced to then (from here) :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

Delete your account in 1. "Settings > iCloud" + 2. "Settings > Messages > Send & Receive" + 3. "Settings > FaceTime", but still let them using your account for iTunes and app purchases in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores". Of course, please make sure that they do not know your password to set up your account for iCloud again or purchase anything alone.
