Why can't I connect to samsung or htc device via Bluetooth?

Why can't I connect to samsung or htc device via Bluetooth? or can't copy any picture or song from my laptop to Iphone 5?

Because this has never been a feature of iphone/ipad/ipod touch.
Ipod touch/iphone/ipad support bluetooth for handsfree telephone devices, stereo speakers/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps form the app store, and internet tethering where provided by the carrrier.
Otherwise, they will not connect to another phone/device/computer.

How can I link my iPad Air and iPhone 4s via Bluetooth, please? They haveBluetooth turned on but will not find each other.

How can I link my iPad Air and iPhone 4s via Bluetooth, please? They both have Bluetooth turned on but will only search and find nothing. The words 'Now Discoverable' appear under the search panel.

for the devices to find each other via Bluetooth you would need to turn on the iPhones cellular hotspot and then let them search for each other. As far as I have found this Bluetooth connection is only for connecting the iPad to internet via iPhones data plan.
To transfer photos you could setup a new photo stream and put the photos you want transferred in it. When it syncs to the iPad you can save directly to the camera roll and delete the photo stream. You may also be able to delete the photos old photos and re-add them to photo stream so it looks like they are new to the iPad.

How can I pair an iPad with an android phone via Bluetooth?

How can I pair an iPad with an android phone via Bluetooth? I get the pair message on both, but after acknowledging on both devices the connection fails to establish. I looked around and everything I found had to do with file transfer. I can share access to the internet via Bluetooth and it works with other devices I've tried this with. Thanks.

Sorry. After re-reading my question I realized that I wasn't clear. I don't want to transfer files. I want to use PDANet from my android and connect my iPad for internet access via bluetooth. I know this is a 2 way transfer of data not very different from transferring files, but I just want to be sure that this is not going to work so I can stop trying as if I'm doing something wrong. Like I said, I can do this with any other bluetooth capable device/computer I have. Seems like it's just not working either by design or as a result of some limitation. I guess 2 way communication with a headset gave me hope that internet access would work. Thanks!

My iPhone 5 won't discover my iPad or any other devices via Bluetooth. Has anyone else experienced this?

My iPhone 5 won't discover my iPad or any other devices via Bluetooth. Has anyone else experienced this?

You haven't said which generation iPad you have, but this article might help you regardless:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647
I imagine Keynote Remote uses Audio/Video Remote Control Profile which should be available on both your iPhone and iPad.
I think you're saying that since you got the new iPhone 5, these two things occur:
1. Your iPhone cannot discover your iPad
2. Your iPad cannot discover your iPhone.
If that's true, when you turn on Bluetooth on each of the devices, you might see old devices listed that are no longer used. If you do, I suggest clicking the white arrow to the right of such devices and clicking "Forget this device".

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

Not via Bluetooth. You can connect over Wi-Fi, but this needs to be configured when the device is connected with a cable.

When connecting ipad to iPhones personal hotspot via wifi it is showin up as 2 connections when only 1 device is connected. Is someone hacking my phone?

When connecting ipad to my iPhones personal hotspot via wifi it is showin up as 2 connections when only 1 device is connected. Is someone hacking my phone? I only figured out I had a problem when my partner did the exact same set up and it showed up as only 1 device connected. I have changed the password and turned it off/on and etc. the really weird thing is now when my ipad is turned off and I turn my iphone personal hotspot on it shows up with 1 connection (when I don't have anything connected) for about 5 secs and then goes off and then 1 device connected for about 5 secs and then back off. This just keeps going on and off. What is going on. Could my phone have a bug or be hacked. Please help as it is kinda freaking me out. Thanks.

Hello asrt17,
This may occur if your iPhone is connected to your computer via USB, as it will automatically share the connection via USB.
iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756
When Personal Hotspot is enabled, your iOS device automatically shares your Internet connection with your computer when connected using USB.
Example: When you connect iPhone to your computer to charge or sync with iTunes. To avoid unnecessary data charges, turn off Personal Hotspot when not in use.
Cheers,

Since upgrading to Mavericks, I can no longer connect to my Bose Sounddock 10 via Bluetooth. It was fine under Mountain Lion

Pairing my Bose Sounddock 10 to my Macbook Pro (early 2011) via Bluetooth was fine under Mountain Lion. After installing Mavericks, connection failed. I deleted the Sounddock & attempted to pair it again. I get an occasional 'flash' in the 'Devices' list, but no pairing occurs.
I have no issue pairing the Sounddock to my iPad running iOS 7.0.3.
Has Bluetooth been changed for Mavericks?
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?

I actually have the same problem, since I upgraded to Mavericks my MacBook Pro can't seem to find the Bose sounddock 10. Has anyone found a solution to this.
It still works with the iPhone 5
Thank you

Trouble connecting iphone 5s to macbook pro via bluetooth

My MBP (OS 10.10) and iPhone 5S (iOS 8.0.2) (both late 2013) do not connect via bluetooth.
I want to use Handoff and file transfer between them, which is why I am trying to connect them.
Steps taken:
1) I pair the devices here:
2) My phone says that they are not supported (see below)
Sometimes they connect for about 30 seconds, but then disconnect.
What should I do?

Found a solution on this page:

Check the following settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn on Wi-Fi if necessary.
Make sure your iOS devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network by going to Settings > Wi-Fi and comparing the name of the network each is on.
Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth if necessary.
Go to Settings > General > Handoff & Suggested Apps and make sure Handoff is on.
Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
Check the following settings on your Mac:
Go to the Wi-Fi icon at the top of your screen and turn on Wi-Fi if necessary.
Make sure your Mac and iOS devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi on your iOS device and compare the name of the network with the Wi-Fi network on your Mac.
Go to the Bluetooth icon at the top of your screen and turn on Bluetooth if necessary.
In System Preferences > General, select “Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices.” If you don't see this setting, your Mac may not support Handoff.
Open the FaceTime app, go to FaceTime > Preferences and turn on “iPhone Cellular Calls.”
Go to System Preferences, and sign out and then sign in again to your iCloud account.
