Ipad and iPhone hotspot/Bluetooth no connection

I'm trying to use iPad Air 2 as hotspot for my iPhone 4s over bluetooth, but I cannot pair the two devices, because them are unable to se each other, in Bluetooth connection.
iPhone has iOS 7.1.2, iPad has iOS 8.1.3.
tnx

Hey Blunotte82,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the two iOS devices are not able to be found. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
iOS: Troubleshooting Bluetooth connections - Apple Support
Bluetooth disconnects, intermittent connectivity, or unable to find
Move your iOS device closer to the Bluetooth accessory.
Position your iOS device and Bluetooth accessory in direct line of sight of each other. For example, move the Bluetooth accessory and iOS device to the same side of your body.
Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if performance improves.
Check for sources of potential interference and move both the iOS device and the Bluetooth accessory away from other electronic devices.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN, and APN settings.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one,
Mario

Bluetooth between New iPad and iPhone 4S won't connect

This worked earlier this week (for the purpose of using Keynote Remote on the phone to make a Keynote presentation on the iPad), but yesterday, the iPad and iPhone began to be unable to connect via Bluetooth. I've rebooted both devices a few times. Sometimes they can see each other, but can't connect; other times, they can't see each other at all.
This is for my boss so I am really in need of some help.

It does seem that this isn't possible, but for some reason this reads as though you can use Keynote Remote on your iPhone to control a Keyntoe Presentation on your iPad. I can't get it to work: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3325?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

My iPad and iphone both can't connect to my network. why?

both iPad and iPhone fail to connect to my n etwork. they both 'see' it and ask for password but when i put this in they say they cant connect.Why?

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 drooping 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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

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."

IPad and iPhone keeps losing wifi connection.

Hi all,
So I'm having wifi connectivity issues that's rather annoying. On a daily basis, both my iPad 1st gen and my iPhone 4S disconnect from wifi and are then unable to connect until i restart my modem. Normally i would think its my modem acting up but no other device on the network has this problem. (All other devices are wifi also) Both my ipad and iphone are current on iOS updates, 5.1.1 and 6.0 respectively. I've tried restarting both devices as well but it doesn't help. Every morning I wake up and every night I get home they both refuse to connect. The iPad stays at my house while the phone remains with me. Any help/input would be great appreciated. Thanks

Although there might be a deeper rooted issue with the iDevices, I did manage to solve the problem another way, I just forgot to give an update in the discussion.
I read in another forum or discussion that the problem might be my wifi signal. I didnt think so at first because it only happened with my iDevices. So, just to be safe, i purchased a high end router designed for extreme gaming and sure enough.. I havent had a single issue with with my iDevices losing connection. From the very moment i plugged it in...no issues. That was about 3 1/2 months ago. All my devices (Laptop, Xbox, Ps3, wii U, Iphone, and iPad) have Excellent connection at all times except when my modem (not the router i purchased) needs to restarted but thats normal and does not happen very often.
So if youre having any sort of connectivity issues with your WiFi i strongly suggest investing in an good router. I wont ever go without one ever again
Upon request, i will link the one i got, if anyones interested.

Wifi is working and accessible on my IPad and IPhone but can not connect with another iPad. I've tried all the listed fixes, forget network reentering password. The iPad sees the network but the wheel keeps spinning. Help thanks.

Wifi working on 1 iPad and iPhone but not on another IPad (same model). All posted fixes tried with no help. The iPad recognizes the network but the wheel keeps spinning. Any help is greatly appreciated.

first step would be reboot
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1 the cure for most ios ills
then I would troubleshoot by taking it to another wifi network to see if it had problems in general with wifi
then if it did not then I would try to update the firmware of my wifi router for better compatability

Trying to connect iPad and iPhone via Bluetooth

Whenever I try to connect my iPad with my iPhone via Bluetooth a window shows up saying "Make sure iPhone is turned on an in range" ,even though I switched off and on Bluetooth many times but it didn't work

In general this is not a feature of wither iPad or iPhone.
The excepts are internet tethering, if provided by the carrier, and some apps allow connection from within the app.

HT3500 my laptop, iPad and iPhone suddenly do not connect to my printer. All of these Apple product and my HP printer are connected to wifi, but now I cannot get anything to print from computer, iPad or phone. suggestions?

All of my Apple product have suddenly been unable to find my HP printer. All are working/connected to wifi and were printing just fine yesterday. Suggestions?

Hello Faith25
Check out the articles below to get your notebook and iOS devices to print again. Check to see if there is anything that could be preventing it from being print to like a jam in the printer or a print queue that may be stuck. Another think to check, if you can get it to show up on your notebook. is to see if the printer has the latest firmware.

Can't see local DLNA server from iPad and iPhone

Hi
I have a Windows 8.1 PC running a DLNA server which services a community of devices including Win 8.1 Laptop, XBOX One and 2 x XBOX 360 Consoles, an iPad and iPhone. All has been working until recently (within last 7 days). (I cannot recall whether the current situation immediately followed ay one particular change).
Right now all devices can still use the DLNA service apart from the iPad and iPhone. I cannot connect to the service from the iPad using a DLNA renderer or even connect to the web interface via Safari. I have tried (and failed) to ping the server from my iPad (pinging from my laptop both wired and wirelessly is fine). I have turned off the Windows firewall and still have the problem. Using a subnet pinger, my iPad does find my laptop.
I am at a loss! I have tried to isolate the issue but have failed. Sounds like a server side / firewall issue (access to a port) but other systems are fine. Seems curious it is occurring on the 2 iOS devices in the household!
Can anyone suggest a course of action?
cheers
John

Hi Rudegar
I have been successfully using iOS apps such as 8Player as DLNA renderer, but it is no longer able to find the DLNA server (Media Browser Server) and, as reported, I cannot even ping the DLNA server from my iPAD (yet can ping other Win 8.1 devices).
regards
