Iphone 4 with bluetooth to tether wont work

i cant get my tethering to work via bluetooth... ive paired the phone...it asks me to install software after whick i figured out that if u uncheck the wireless iAP box the message goes away but i still cant get it to tether..please help

it won't pair with your computer by bluetooth.  File transfer by bluetooth is not supported. If you are trying  to tether your phone to your computer or create a personal hotspot that you can do, but it will cost more money.

  • Iphone stuck with apple symbol and wont start up

    i updated my iphone and when it finished and went to reboot it just stays stuck on the apple symbol it constantly reboots and will never connect to my laptop i dont know what to do if anyone can help please do

    Hi,
    Luca224 & Ingo2711. Thanks for bringing this topic. on 29th Nov. I faced the same problem on my iPhone 3GS 32GB Firmware 3.1.2, iPhone stuck with apple symbol and wont start up. I have tried with 10 Seconds Sleep/wake-up button + home button to reset. But didn't work. Did google about an hour with many blogs. Finally I made a call to 3 iPhone care and spent 30 minutes and explained whatever I have done; iPhone customer care asked me to go to nearby iPhone service center in Sydney. BUT BY LUCK CLICKED ON iTUNE AND GOT THE OPTION FOR ONLINE FORUM FOR APPLE iPHONE. Many many thanks to Ingo2711 who has given the solution link and also thanks to Luca224 , who raised the issue. I feel, this is a common problem with iPhones those who using iPhone 3GS 3.1.2...... but try the link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and thanks to Luca224 & Ingo2711. PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION CAREFULY:
    1. Verify you have iTunes 7.5 or later. Apple recommends using the latest version of iTunes.
    2. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    3. Power off the device (Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the the iPhone or iPod touch to turn off. _+(in my case - red slider didn't appear, but i pressed the Sleep/Wake button until the iPhone went off, finally it was just off... i was frustrated... tried 3 times with more patience )+_
    4. Press and hold the Home button while reconnecting the USB cable to iPhone. When you reconnect the USB to iPhone, the device should then power on. +_( Do exactly as it says)_+
    Note: If you see the message "Charging... Please Wait" or you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least 10 minutes to ensure the battery has some charge and then start with step 2 again. +_(True ... for me it happened 3 times)_+
    5. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. +_( I was nearly frustrated at my 3rd attempet; my thumb was hurting as I was holding the home button for few minutes..... but finally it worked yahooooooooooooooooo...... suddenly changed my decision.... about going to 3/Apple service center)_+
    6. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message:
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, then disconnect the USB cable from iPhone and repeat steps 3-6.
    Because you must restore iPhone or iPod touch, iTunes will not recover data from the device, but if it was previously synced on the same computer and the same user account, it should restore a backup (if available). See document HT1414, "Updating and Restoring iPhone Software."
    If you are still unable to restore the iPhone using this method, check Apple support for further troubleshooting and/or service options.
    Note: If you sync both an iPhone and an iPod touch to the same computer, make sure you select the correct backup to restore your settings from (don't select an iPhone backup if you have an iPod touch and don't select an iPod touch backup if you have an iPhone).
    **** ( BACKUP FROM YOUR iTUNES : MAC/PC; AS I GOT MY 95% DATA FROM THERE.... GOOD LUCK)******* IF IT WORKS PLEASE POST YOUR EXPERIENCE....*
    THANKS

  • Hi! I have an x-mini headset which im having trouble pairing to my iPhone 5s with bluetooth, any tips please?

    Hi! I have an x-mini headset which im having trouble pairing to my iPhone 5s with bluetooth, any tips please?

    Cellular calling doesn't yet work reliably.
    Make sure you've followed the instructions in this support article. Note that both iCloud and FaceTime on the Mac must be signed in to the same Apple ID; those are two separate steps. Also note that the Mac and the phone must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Ethernet won't work. Trying to pair the phone to the Mac as a Bluetooth device won't work either.
    If cellular calling still doesn't work, sign out of FaceTime and sign back in. You may have to do the same on the phone. The email address that you use as your Apple ID must be able to receive FaceTime calls.

    I have an iphone 4s with ios7. Does it work with 4g? If not what i can do to upgrade it?

    The version of iOS is irrelevant to 4G connectivity.
    The iPhone 4S supports HSPA which is considered 4G by some carriers, it is NOT an LTE capable device.
    If you want a device that supports LTE, you will need to upgrade to an iPhone 5 or newer.  LTE capability requires hardware that does not exist in the 4S or older iPhones.

    Connect the 5 to a computer and see if it is recognized. If so copy the pictures from phone. If not, you are out of luck.

  • Does my Iphone 4G with Swiss Orange phone number work in Japan?

    Does my Iphone 4G with Swiss Orange phone number work in Japan?

    If your phone is officially unlocked, you can purchase a pre-paid sim from SoftBank & it will work just fine. If not officially unlocked, it will still work, but cost a small fortune as you'll be roaming. You'd have to setup International Provisioning with Orange before you went to Japan if your phone is not officially unlocked.

  • Iphone 3GS with bluetooth connection with Audi car kit

    I connected my iphone 3GS to my Audi car system through bluetooth connection. The Audi system recognizes the iphone and his address phone and all works well.
    The issue comes when I disconnect the iphone from the car kit. After, even someone calls me, the call ringtone rings only two times and after switches off during the incoming call. This issue is random, sometimes the alarm rings well, sometimes not by working in the way described above. Someone has the same issue and knows how solve it? Is an issue linked to hw or only sw?
    thanks

    Hi.,
    Can I check with you if you have this problem..
    I assume you have paired the iPhone 3GS to the Audi carkit.
    First, play something on the iPod.
    Then go to the Bluetooth settings page where you can see all the paired devices.
    after that, make a connection to the carkit.
    Is there any stuttering or audio breaking you hear from the carkit?
    I have this problem with my iTech BluebandR headset and iSkin Cerulean RX. I only found this problem with iPhone 3GS but it worked fine with 3G.

  • IPhone buttons with website hyperlinks won't work

    Hi, I have done a few dps projects for iPad and Android tablets but am starting a new project for iPhone users.
    The way I have set up buttons to link to websites before does not seem to be working. I can see the button but it doesnt do anything... I have tested the same file on the ipad and it works fine.
    I know I am probably being stupid but does anyone have any hints?
    thanks

    Hi Bob,
    I usually just create a button under buttons and forms.

    and put in the url.
    This works on adobe viewer on the iPAD and desktop but wont work on my iphone's adobe viewer.
    thanks
