Ipad bluetooth will not pair

Rocketfish SPX15 Bluetooth speaker will not pair with my iPad or my iPhone but it will pair perfectly with my Android phone.  What should I do?

It sounds like something is wrong with the iPad.  As a WAG, I would do some standard recovery work:
First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.
If none of the above helps, you need help from Apple.  With some degree of luck, you're within easy driving distance of an Apple Store.  My suggestion is to take the iPad, the iPhone and the Bose speaker to the store and show them that the speaker works with the iPhone but not the iPad.  It's best if you first make an appointment with the resident "Genius."
If driving is not convenient, give them a call.  800-275-2273 in the U.S.A. and I think Canada.

  • IPhone 4 Bluetooth will not pair with Jawbone Icon,  Jawbone 2

    Just got my iPhone today and am more or less thrilled to have it. The only problem (other than the antenna issue, which the bumper fixes beautifully) is that Bluetooth will not pair with any of my Bluetooth devices. When I turn on Bluetooth on the phone and turn on the headset, iPhone says it's "searching.." and "now discoverable" but it never discovers anything, let alone pair up. The Bluetooth on my MacBook recognized the iPhone and I was able to pair them, but no luck on the Jawbones. Sounds like a JB problem, but I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem and if there's a fix via the iPhone.

    On the icon, turn it off and hold button down while sliding the power switch on. This should put it in pairing mode. Then go into your i4's bluetooth menu and give it another go. Also, Jawbone has recently updated the firmware for the Icon so you need to load it as well. I have the icon and a Jabra cruiser and both work/paired fine. You may want to try rebooting phone and retrying as well.

  • Bluetooth will not pair with Moto Droid4

    My Droid4 has will not pair with either my "Verzion" Jabra VBT-4050 nor my Jawbone Icon.  Both these earpieces paired with this phone before, but will not now.
    Makes no sense to me.
    Thanks...Andy

        westa510b,
    That can certainly be confusing since it previously paired just fine with your device. We will be happy to take a closer look at this matter with you. Have you attempted to reboot the device? Tried deleting the bluetooth connection from the device, then re-establishing connection? Any changes recently to the devices software or additions of an application when you first noticed this issue began?

  • Bluetooth will not pair

    Bluetooth on MacPro laptop, OS 10.9.1 ceaseed to "pair" with other bluetooth devices.  How do I trouble shoot it?

    Bluetooth on my MacPro stopped working i.e. pairing with iPhone, iPad, iPod, plus a Senta Bluetooth speaker.  It was working well until a couple days ago, and now I can't connect to any of them  Bluetooh on iPad etc work great, but not on MacPro.  Seems Bluetooth on laptop just bombed. 

  • TS2662 My keyboard will pair with my iPad but will not pair with my MAC...any ideas?

    I have had my iMac for 2 years now...I have never had a problem pairing my keyboard.  The batteries died in my keyboard so I changed them and now I can't get the keyboard to pair to my iMac.  I know the keyboard is fine and the batteries work because the keyboard will pair to my ipad.  Any reason my iMac is having trouble pairing with the keyboard?  Thanks!

    If it is paired currently, you need to unpair it if you want to pair it back with the iMac.
    As I said, it can only be paired to one device. If you want to use it with another, you need to unpair it first and then pair it with the other one.
    And, if you need to sign in with your password to your Mac, you will need to borrow any USB keyboard to do so and to pair it; once it's recognized, you can use the wireless keyboard again.

  • My macbook pro bluetooth will not pair with my samsung 4s

    Went from a machook to a macbook pro running yosemite. Samsun 4s paired with macbook, but not macbook pro. Anybody have this problem and can help?

    Hi there d'andreTeeter,
    If you still aren't able to connect to your Samsung S4 via bluetooth with your Mac. To help you get the issue resolved, or isolated I recommend the information in the following article:
    Bluetooth Quick Assist
    Start with these steps, and there are more within if you need them:
    Check your device's system requirements
    Make sure that your computer meets your Bluetooth device's system requirements—visit the device manufacturer's website for details. This also applies to a USB Bluetooth adapter, if you use one.
    Make sure that Bluetooth and your device are turned on
    To check your computer's Bluetooth status, choose System Preferences from the Apple menu, then click Bluetooth. In Bluetooth preferences, make sure "On" is selected (in earlier Mac OS X versions, click the Settings tab, then click the Bluetooth On button to turn on Bluetooth). Check your device to make sure that it's also powered on. If you're trying to pair a Bluetooth phone or PDA, make sure that Bluetooth is active and that the device is “discoverable” (consult your product manual if you're unsure about how to change these settings on your device).
    Download and install the latest software for the device
    Some Bluetooth devices require you to install software before you can use them with your Mac. Make sure that you've installed any required software or that you're using the latest software available for the device on your computer. Check the device manufacturer's website for the latest updates and more information. For help with syncing a Palm OS device with your Mac over Bluetooth, see iSync 2: How to sync a Palm OS device over Bluetooth.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • IPhone 5S, bluetooth will not pair up with my Oticon Streamer 1.4 device

    My Oticon Streamer is a bluetooth connection device to my hearing aids.  I know it's working because my desk phone rings thru the Oticon to my hearing aids.  Works fine.
    I've been trying to pair up the iPhone 5S and the Oticon.  Briefly, the phone recognizes the Oticon, ask for the password (which is 0000), get a message to make sure the Oticon is turned on (it is), and cannot pair.  Any ideas?

    This support document provides the Bluetooth profiles that the iPhone supports. It does not support all hearing aids, and you may need to check with the manufacturer to see if the iPhone profile matches the profile they use to connect with. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647

  • IPhone 4S Bluetooth will not pair with Citroen c4 grand Picasso

    My new Citroen c4 Picasso can't detect an iPhone 4S or an iPhone 3 via Bluetooth.  A Nokia mobile phone can be detected, so it seems the car's system is ok, so must be an apple/iPhone problem.  Can anyone help, please? Thank you!

  • My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus 3.0) is recognised by my iMac but will  not pair?  I have paired it with my iPad using code 8310 but it still will not pair with my iMac.  Can someone help please?

    My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus brand - bought recently in Thailand)(similar to Mac small keyboard) will pair with my iPad using code 8310,and is recognized by my iMac but will not pair?
    There are very scant instructions with the keyboard and no mention of any code (the code was prompted by my iPad).
    I have followed the instructions but it still will not pair with my iMac!
    Can anyone help please?
    My iMac is 20 inch  Mid 2007 OSX10.9.1 4GB RAM

    Hi All, thank you for you suggestions.  I have been unable to find any website for the maker, but have looked at several Thai/cambodian sites incl <http://www.buycoms.com/Article/8435/index.asp>  which mentions the keyboard being suitable for tablet or windows.  No mention of iMac!  although the box is branded to indicate Mac compatable.
    I'm thinking that maybe it just will not pair with an iMac.
    Ill keep looking for the maker website, which might come on later in the future? maybe?
    thanks again.

  • Keynote remote will not pair with ipad after update to 10.7.2-bluetooth issue or remote app issue?

    Noticed keynote remote will not pair after updating.  Bluetooth light flashes a couple of times then goes off.  I'm wondering if it's a bluetooth issue or a keynote remote app issue.
    Any suggestions or remedies?
    thanks

    Then again, it may not.
    I've tried all the things recommended in the Apple KB article, and it doesn't work.  Mulderscully is right, in the recent iOS 5 upgrade, Bluetooth is not turned on (at least, its symbol is not visible) from within Keynote even if you turned it on in the Settings menu.  Posts in another thread recommended using another app to establish a Bluetooth connection between the iPad and iPod (I used Touch Rummy), then switching back to Keynote and Keynote Remote.  This does work for me, but it is an awkward workaround.  Shouldn't 'It just work'?
