IPad successfully paired with iMac, but it says it isn't connected

It says my device is not connected and on my iMac, it shows the bluetooth connection to the iPad, but has a red dot and it says not connected. How do I connect them. Thanks!

My iPad isn't house broken, never mind jailbroken. It's a bog standard Gen 2 iPad (no 3g).
The iMac is by the window, where it's able to pick up a free WiFi signal. The iPad doesn't see the WiFi at all, even when I stand by the window with it. The iMac seems to have a better receiver. That's when I decided to see if I could use the iMac to share its internet connection, and after a bit of mucking around it worked via bluetooth.
Hope these images help...

To check "Bluetooth PAN" checkbox on the right, you have to uncheck "Internet Sharing" on the left first. (Re-check it when you're done)

iOS devices do not have the BT profiles that support file sharing and othr general functions. See:

Try checking the box you mentioned
Check the manual for your Bluetooth device it will tell you the code Read all of it!!!!!
Try turning on Bluetooth just as phone is put in search mood.

Bluetoothctl successfully pairs with device but cannot connect

Hello,
I'm trying to get my phone (nexus 4) to connect to my computer. I have bluez and bluez-utils installed. I've been able to successfully pair the device with my phone, but I can't connect to it.
Here's some output from bluetoothctl:

I'm trying to set up my phone to send keyboard input to act as a kind of remote control for pianobar. Does anyone have an idea why this might not connect?
-Nia
EDIT: I've looked into the problem a little bit more and it seems like it has something to do with audio. I've set the default agent to KeyboardOnly, but the error still persists. Despite this, I've tried installing pulseaudio-git, which hasn't messed anything in my system up just yet, but has done nothing to fix the problem. I also tried reverting to bluez4. bluetoothctl refused to acknowledge hci0 (my device) and wouldn't work, the bluez commands worked somewhat, bluez-simple agent works, but you need to specify hci0 before the address, this works. Any other bluez command will fail. I've reinstalled bluez since (bluez5).

My device is an IX12-300r with 4.08 firmware. I have 4 volumes setup as iSCSI targets. Two were the orinigal volumes on the drives that came with the device and are still accessible. Those are working, fortunately, and still able to be connected as iSCSI targets.  I purchased 4 x 3 TB drives in December and setup two more volumes as iSCSI targets for additional resources on our servers/network. All worked well with the new volumes/iSCSI targets until 3 weeks ago when the system was restarted.    Now, althoug all the volumes are still present, the iSCSI page on the Web UI shows only the two original volumes are iSCSI targets. The new volumes are not present there and therefor not accessible from the Microsoft iSCSI initiator.    I've installed the Lenovo Storage Manager for Windows: Version 1.4.4.14439 to check if it could connect the other targets, but sadly no.
So I called Lenovo to see if I could get some support, knowin that it was out of warranty, and so expecting to pay per incident. BUT that's no longer available, and they don't offer extended warranties on out of warranty products. SO BUY an extended warranty NOW if you plan on keeping this product. Better yet ditch it and get something that offers support beyond "I'm sorry we can't help you at all. I suggest you call data recovery service if you want your data back".        :- P
Any idea how much it would cost to recover 4 TB of data?!?
This product is being ruined by Lenovo and their decisions to remove support options previously available. I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND anyone using these products to think twice!   Also, I'm an IT consultant and have been steering all my clients away from ANY LENOVO products, Thinkpads, Servers, desktops, to avoid runnning into this kind of issues. My reputation is on the line when I make recommendations to my customers and cannot possibly consider using products with this kind of support.

Mac shows wireless internet connection, but Safari says "computer isn't connected to the Internet"

Situation:
Computer shows internet connection (full bars), but won't actually connect to the internet and load webpages
Attempted Fixes:
Reset Safari
Quit Safari
Restart the computer
Turn off the computer with router unplugged
Turn off Airport
Swear at the computer
Swear at the internet
Unplug the router and turn the Airport off too
Additional Info:
Second computer (mac) connects to the internet so it's not an internet problem.
Last few days the internet has been slowly dying on the computer (Mac OS X) in question. Meaning that the internet asks me for the router password constantly, which was a new development.
I have seen information about reseting Plists and a few other weird things, but I didn't want to do anything drastic based on someone elses issue. I figured it's best to bring my specific issue to the forum before destroying my Mac by randomly deleting Plists.
Any thoughts appreciated.

Excellent troubleshooting solutions which usually works.
Which os version are you using?
First contact your ISP. You need to confirm that the issue is not on their end.
Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.
System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network
Unlock the padlock
Locations: Automatic
Highlight Airport
Click the Assist Me button
In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock. Highlight Airport. Network Name-select your name. Click on the Advanced button. Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined." Click the OK button and lock the padlock. Restart your computer.

My ipad is hung with the dialogue box saying "this iPad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. Backup happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to WiFi".

The dialogue box doesn't go at all even after pressing OK a hundred times. I treid tacking the back up through itunes and through 3G conncetion but of no avail. Please help

I too have been having this issue since about 12/14. That is around the same time I got the Ipad for my kids. I am unsure if it is related. I have tried logging out of icloud/deleting it and trying again. Removing most of the apps to sync. I reset my router. All of the attempts have produced zero results. I will be anxiously watching this thread for some help. Good luck to you also

Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.
The problem I see is that the photos aren't on your phone and you won't be able to get them from the cloud because they are over 30 days old.
As for your iPad it sounds like they might be there, but you have encountered some sort of corruption. The problem is you can't turn photo stream off and on again to reset it, because you would lose what ever you have (even though they are corrupt) and they can't be recovered from the cloud.
The only suggestion I have is to try restarting the iPad.

Bluetooth paired with Photosmart but NOT connected.

Bluetooth connection on android device says paired with Photosmart but NOT connected. How do I get connected?

You can always manage or configure the switch via HyperTerminal. You can connect the PC to a serial cable and access the switch via the serial port. Hyper Terminal doesn’t depend on the IP address of the switch so you can manage it. To access the switch via Hyper Terminal, follow this link:

Reset your iPad and see if that helps.
Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me. I recently got my first ever Ipod. It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation. I have tried to synchronise it with Itunes but it says "Connected, Eject before Disconnecting" but nothing happens.

Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your help.

I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos. It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again. Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen. In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device). Under Settings, click on Music. To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box at the top for Sync Music. That turns ON automatic syncing for music. Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod). Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below. Then click Apply.
