IPad 2 Bluetooth Setting cannot be turned on

My bluetooth setting is set to off, but the slide option to turn it on is missing.  Instead there is only the circle hourglass like it is searching for something.  I noticed this right after trying to pair to a device that was aleady paired to my iPod. When I unpaired the device from my iPod my iPad 2 just showed the circle hourglass and never found a device.  So I turned the bluetooth setting OFF...as soon as I did this I lost the option to turn it back on.  Where the ON/OFF slider should be now shows only the circular hourglass/searching symbol.  Have done several resets or reboots...with no luck. I have even reset to factory defaults and then did a restore from my iTunes with no luck.  Any one have any suggestions?

I did try a Reset All Settings...no luck.  Unfortunately, I do not have an older backup that I can find. I have been backing up just the important stuff to the Cloud only...I just did a full back up today to my computer...so I don't see anything older than today.  Appreciate the feedback.  Let me know if you have any other ideas.  Really disappointed right now...everything else works fine.

  • Ipad 4 frozen cannot even turn off

    my husband's ipad 4 has frozen... he cannot even shut it off
    what do we do then?

    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    I did set up the password when I got the phone and iPad months ago but never turned it on. Now it is asking for the passwords for both my iPhones and iPad and I cannot select not the have the passwords active.

    If you do not want to use passcodes, why don't you just go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock and delete the passcode and set the lock to OFF.  That will eliminate the problems all together.

  • My Ipad and itouch cannot be connected ti wireless router tried changing setting still cannot connect

    my Ipad and itouch cannot be connected ti wireless router tried changing setting still cannot connect

    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

    Thank you wjsten for your soon reply. Unfortunately on these days I'm in a country that Apple don't have any retail store here and for sake of time I prefer to fix it myself to DHL it to the nearest country to use its warranty. Do you have any idea how can I fix it? Do you think it's a software issue?

    Try holding the power and home buttons for ten to fifteen seconds until the apple appears. If still bad, try a restore from within the computer&itunes.

  • Just set up my new ipad Air and cannot set up my gmail account into mail ?

    Just set up my new ipad Air and cannot set up my gmail account into mail ?

    EASY SIMPLE FIX....
    The problem is Google.
    I had the same problem, couldn't install Gmail on my ipad or iphone and kept saying wrong / incorrect password, error messages. Worked for hours and hours on this.
    It is Google's (optional) 2-step verification system that is to blame.
    Google won't tell you this, and instead, they have come up with work arounds, and even telling people to install the Gmail iPhone/ipad app, which then limites the iphone/pad functionality when not using iphone's native mail.
    FIX:
    Logon to Google...
    Go into your Google account preferenes
    DELETE your cell number used for 2-step verification...... leave it blank
         (it is optional, Google does not require you use 2-step verification)
    Thats it. Your'e done.
    Now set up your Gmail (now called Google) as usual on your Apple device.
    You don't need 2-step (optional) verification.
    There are other secure ways to do this. It is an option, but Google goes out of it's way not to tell you this.
    (and a great way for Google to gleen your personal information, in the name of security)
    Hope this helps someone.
