IPad 3 Bluetooth failure

Hi,
my iPad 3 has Bluetooth problems. I can't connect it because it doesn't find any devices at all. When I switch on the Bluetooth it starts searching for devices, but that's it. Nothing else happens.
I already tried this to fix it:
Turn off Bluetooth and turn it back on;
restart the iPad;
reset network settings.
I'm sure the problem is with the iPad and not the devices I want to connect, because I'm not experiencing any trouble with my iPhone 5.
Hope you can help!
Best regards,
Erik

Basicly anything. At this moment I'm trying to connect it with my JBL Charge Bluetooth speaker. My iPhone 5 connects within seconds, but my iPad cannot find anything with bluetooth compatibility.
I found something on a forum that it might be a hardware issue with the chip overheating: http://forums.imore.com/ask-question/284087-bluetooth-problems-ios-7-1-4s.html
However I don't fancy putting my iPad in the freezer for a couple of minutes bluetooth connectivity...
Could it be this?
Erik

Hi there.
I connected to my livebox after about three attempts. You have to pair the livebox by pressing either the number one or two that is on the box. When it is in pair mode it stays that way for ten minutes so it gives you chance to try your wep code that is on the bottom of the box a few times. I can't remember which one was successful but i did try the letters in uppercase and lower and one of them seemed to connect.
Welcome to discussions by the way.
Hope this helps JB

How to get Kensington K9294 to connect with original iPad. Bluetooth is on.

Sorry, but what is a Kensington K9294? I can find no mention of that product ID on the web, not even on Kensington's site. Do you mean the K39294, the KeyFolio keyboard/case?
Regards.

Why can't I sinc my iPhone to my iPad via bluetooth?

Why am I having a problem syncing my iPhone & iPad via Bluetooth?

Geez... I had such high hopes
You had completely unrealistic hopes.
Bluetooth is far too slow for anything more than the smallest of files.
Considering the fact that iPads and iPhones can store many gigabytes worth of data, you would be waiting weeks to sync your media.
USB is much, much faster. You can also transfer files via WiFi if the app you're using supports it. When iOS5 comes out later this year you'll also be able to sync via WiFi.
Bluetooth is just not designed for syncing huge amounts of audio and video data.

IPad and Bluetooth

Unfortunatelly there is not yet a forum for the iPad. I hope, this will be read by some apple personal and probably put into a new forum.
I am faszinated by the iPad. It is exactly what I expected and what I am missing up to now for our living room. We have a Mac mini connected to the TV as hard disc recorder, movie and picture player as well as mp3-player for the HIFI system. For this Mac mini we have the apple bluetooth keybord.
I am wondering if the keyboard could be used also with the iPad? Would make the use more independent and the small dock-in station would be sufficient - and look much better, e.g. for a digital photo frame. And the iPad has bluetooth anyway...

Generally speaking, Apple personel doesn't comment or view the forum. A few do, but they aren't allowed to talk about features of new products - if they even know them.
Short answer is that we don't know yet. When the iPad is released in 2 months we will be able to answer that question. Until then there is no information beyond what is already posed on this site.

If you do not set your device in discoverable mode, the iPad will never find them.

Transfer of photos from ipod to ipad via bluetooth, help

transfer of photos from ipod to ipad via bluetooth, help

The blluetooth isn't meant to do that. It's largely meant for headphones and keyboards.
now, if you have the camera connection kit you can attach your iPod to your iPad using that (plugging the iPod's charging cable to the USB part of the CCK) and the photos will transfer. I've done it with my Touch.

It depends on what the files are. If they were photos or videos they would likely be in the Camera Roll in the Photos App.

Hi
Can I link an iPad to bluetooth speakers to have a wireless sound system?
What bluetooth speakers are available?

Yes. Here's a link. Google shows a bunch. Beware though some are just bluetooth linking the left or right speaker and requires you to plug into the not-bluetooth-linked-speaker.

HT4061 Why is Iphone 5 not able to connect to Mac or Ipad through bluetooth

Why is my Iphone 5 not able to connect to Mac or Ipad through bluetooth
I have tried all sorts of resetting and tricks to make it work but my IPHONE 5 CANNOT connect to its sisterdevices like Mac or Ipads. it seems to be millions that have the same problem.
Will there be a fix for this or don't they care at all?

No iPhone has ever supported file transfer by Bluetooth & most likely never will. So, don't expect a "fix".
