I was unable to get my iphone 3 to pair with my iphone 5?

I tried to pair my iphone 3 with my iphone 5 in order to transfer photos but they would not pair.
I noticed that others had the same problem. Does anyone have a solution?

Thats because you can't pair iphone to iphone via bluetooth http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3647
you can backup your 3 and restore your 5 to that backup http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
or import the pics to your computer http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 and then sync those pics using itunes.

    Thanks for the responses, they have been very illuminating!
    This is very disappointing from The Carphone Warehouse. If they had mentioned this when I went into their stores, I wouldn't have completed the purchases. I bought two phones at separate outlets and neither of them told me this.
    I have been in contact with T-Mobile already as I thought they had sneakily applied a software update that locked the phone. They have denied locking it and suggest that it is something that Apple do. Their solution was a factory reset.
    I have a call logged with Apple this afternoon, so will see what they suggest. Hopefully they will give me something that I can take to The Carphone Warehouse or T-Mobile.

  • Hi, I tried to download a bunch of my favourite TV episodes.  I was unable to get them all due to lack of storage.  I increased my storage but the downloads didn't come.  I tried deleting the already downloaded and viewed episodes but don't know how.

    I'm wondering if I should increase my storage again but I'm not sure that's the issue.

    You need more storage on your iPad, however, it can't be increased. iCloud storage is ecternal to the iPad and is used for backup.
    You need to delete some item on the iPad.

    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
    There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.

  • I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my Mac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events

    I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my iMac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events, so that if adding an event on my iPone it never appears on my other hardware? Can anyone help me sort this out?

    Re: check that the appointments in my phone are going into iCloud calendars....exactly how do I do this?  I fear this is a really stupid question!
    My iCloud account is set up with my Apple ID as one email account (for example [email protected]) which is the email account I use to sign up for internet sites like Amazon, Apple,etc, so that I can differentiate vendors/mass emails.  But my default calendar on my iPhone is in a different email name (ie [email protected]) which I use for most communications to friends, relatives, etc. and it is this account that holds most of my appointments.  To further complicate things I have other email accounts that I use for business/professional and community work.  If I want all my calendars to show on my iPhone AND sync to my iCloud, do I set this at the phone level or the iCloud level?  or both?   
    Let me clarify....It looks like if I go into appointments that I previously set up through my personal account (ie above [email protected]) and edit the entry on my iPhone, selecting the iCloud "home" calendar within the entry, it will then sync to my iCloud account, no problem....do I have to do this to EVERY entry I have? or is there  a way to name my personal account as one to sync to iCloud?

    Where exactly did you buy this phone?
    Have you tried contacting your phone carrier to activate the phone?
    Do you have a sim card?

  • HT204380 When someone called using FaceTime,I was unable to get to the IPad in time.and I missed the call. When I went to use the IPad it was locked up.unable to get further than the FaceTime screem.

    When someone called me on my IPod I was unable to get to the pad in time to recieve the call.When I went to use the machine it was locked up on the FaceTime screen. And it remaines locked no matter what I do

    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Or if that doesn't work, quit FaceTime completely and restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • TS1398 Unable to get my iphone 5 to connect to my home network

    Unable to get my iphone 5 to connect to my home network, there is no "Forget Network" option on the phone and I have many other Apple devices connected successfully so I know the network works and the password.  Can anyone help?

    Are you using WEP, WPA, or WPA2 for your network security?  If you are using WEP, I am not sure that it is still supported.  I know that some people have had issues not being able to connect to some networks until they changed the security to be more secure.  SOme of them even just changed their initial WPA key to be more complex and that resolved it for them.

  • I'm unable to get my iPhone out of recovery mode?

    My iPhone was on charge earlier this evening, and when disconnecting it to use it again I noticed it had entered recovery mode randomly (I'm still not sure why this happened in the first place) I know usually this isnt a very big problem and you can simply connect it to iTunes and restore it, which I attempted to do, however when doing this my iPhone displayed a black screen with a blinking apple sign and iTunes wouldn't recognise my iPhone. I held the home button down, and iTunes then recognised my iPhone, however when I hit restore, an error sign comes up saying my iPhone cannot be restored - so I am unable to restore my iPhone through iTunes.
    I cannot restore my iPhone by holding down the home and power button as my power button jammed just over a month ago randomly (literally woke up one morning and was unable to use it at all) so my iPhone is now stuck in recovery mode and I can't get it out.
    I'm going to visit apple tomorrow to see if they can help. I'm still covered by warranty as I've only had my phone just over 11 months. Do you think it's likely they'd be able to restore is via iTunes in store? and if not do you think I'd be able to get a replacement because of this issue and because of my broken power button? Incredibly worried, as I don't know why my phone has even randomly entered recovery mode or why my power button jammed in the first place and I really don't want to end up paying £120 for a new handset when I don't feel any of this was really my fault.

    I am having the exact issue as yours, but, I fixed this issue myself and I would like to help many of those suffering from this issue to not be treated by Apple -- when I woke up in the morning I found my iPhone 4 was in "Upgrade to iOS6" mode on the moring that I planed to travel -- my alarm is still alarming me to wake up but the phone could not be used anymore, so fortunately I have backup phone to switch the sim-card to. When I am back home I went to a local "Short Hills" apple store Genius Bar and the staff told me that it could not be fixed, the only way to resolve this was to pay $150 for "Replacement" for a refurbished iPhone - I didn't believe him! My home PC/iTunes can detecte my phone, but the Genius Bar staff said it can't be deteted. I tried many different ways and finally I came up the followings which fixed by iPHone: 1) if you need to backup your stuff within the iPHone, you can use iTools from your PC; 2) Install the latest iTunes; 3) Try to recovery your iphone with iTunes several times and to see if it could be fortunately restored, Pay attention to the error messages, I got (-1) and (3194) which are ok, if they all are not working, then perform the last: 4) download the latest firmware for your version of your phone, such as iphone 4,5, GSM, CDMA, etc and save it into your PC; 5) perform a recovery mode from iTunes, but this time, you are pressing down the "Shift" key while you are clicking the "Recovery iPhone" from your iTunes, it will pop up a window to ask you to upload the firmware, you then select that downloaded firmware and it should fixed you problem and your iPhone will be just like brand new from Apple manufacture! Good luck! -- I have several negative experience with Genius Bar -- they are using refurbished phone with much older screen life LCD to replace my warrenty new phone -- this is apple the policy which are being complaied worldwide!!!! If I had choice, I would not have been using iPhone!

  • Itunes was unable to sync my iphone becuase it couldn't determine the apps on phone

    When I was trying to sync my Iphone, it told me it was unable to do so because it couldn't determine the apps on my phone.  It also told me that if I updated my software on my phone without first transferring the purchased apps I would lose them.  What do I do?

  • I have rolled back to firefox v3.6.19 as v5 does not support 'no script', 'download status bar', or 'forecastfox', or at least i was unable to get them to work. v5 is no good imo.

    For the second time in as many months I have had to roll back to version 3.6.19 as the new firefox (versions 4 or 5) was unable to use 'no script', 'forecastfox' or 'download status bar'. I hope mozilla will continue to support v3.6.19 until my issues have been resolved. Also the after one or two clicks on any of the aforementioned extensions on the add-on bar/page caused v5 to hang.

  • HT4111 i cannot get my apple keyboard to pair with my iPad 2, but it will connect to my iPhone. checked the blue tooth; turned on, turned off; checked batteries in keyboard....

    My apple keyboard will not pair with my iPad2.  It worked at one time.  The keyboard does function with my iPhone.  Does this possibly mean that the Blue Tooth is not functioning in my iPad?  Is there a way to check?  My software is up-to-date on my iPad.

    Keyboards Can only be paired with one device at the time so if it's paired with another device IN range it Will not pair with the ipad

  • HT1386 I am unable to get a two way calendar sync with my iPhone 4s and my mac's ical.  iTunes syncs my mac's calendar to the phone, but not the other way.  I do not use iCloud and I cannot find any menu for removing sync history as described by others.

    I have spent 3 hours trying to get my ical updated on my mac with events added to my iphone calendar. Itunes will sync the calendars from the mac to the phone, but not vice versa.  I have read every post which relates to this problem, but I do not use iCloud, there is no iSync app on my mac, and there is no menu to delete sync history under system preferences.  My mac is fairly new and is running Mac OS X 10.7.4.   I tried to delete the iphone from itunes and start over, but can't even do that.   Now what?  Any advice short of throwing both devices out the window?

    For resetting the sync history on a Mac running Lion - 10.7.x if needed.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    If you see the Sync menu in the menu bar, skip to step 3: 
    If you do not see the Sync menu in your menu bar, skip to step 7.
    Hold the Option key on your keyboard, then click the Sync menu in the menu bar:   
    if you see the Sync menu but you are unable to open it, skip to step 8.
    Choose Reset Sync Services.
    Click Reset Sync History.
    Test for the original issue. If the issue persists, or if you are unable to open the Sync menu, follow these steps:
    In the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu.
    Open Terminal.
    In the Terminal window, type or paste the following command on a single line:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full
    Press Return.
    Quit Terminal after the operation has completed (when Terminal returns to the command prompt with a $).
