IPhone 4s in detecting any device via bluetooth

Hi,
I just got a new iphone having used Windows Phone all along.  I am trying to transfer my contacts using bluetooth but iPhone 4s is not just detecting any device.  What's the way forward for this?  This should be a straightforward transfer but all standards.  Why is it so difficult for iPhone?
Many thanks
Bright

Pair it for what?
Syncing with iTunes is done via a USB connection with your computer, or syncing can be done via wi-fi when the computer and iPhone are connected to the same wi-fi network. Either one is much faster than syncing via bluetooth especially for music, movies, larger apps, and a number of photos. You can pair the iPhone via bluetooth with your computer for tethering but that is about it for bluetooth.

    Hello,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would need more information regarding what devices you are having an issue with to provide a better answer. However, most devices need to be placed in pairing mode before you will see them.  Try going through the article below as it may help with this scenario.

  • My iPhone 5 won't discover my iPad or any other devices via Bluetooth. Has anyone else experienced this?

    You haven't said which generation iPad you have, but this article might help you regardless:

    I imagine Keynote Remote uses Audio/Video Remote Control Profile which should be available on both your iPhone and iPad.
    I think you're saying that since you got the new iPhone 5, these two things occur:
    1.  Your iPhone cannot discover your iPad
    2.  Your iPad cannot discover your iPhone.
    If that's true, when you turn on Bluetooth on each of the devices, you might see old devices listed that are no longer used.  If you do, I suggest clicking the white arrow to the right of such devices and clicking "Forget this device".

    can i connect ipod touch 3G to other non apple devices via Bluetooth??

  • Is there anyway to connect iphone to other devices via bluetooth.like nokia and other phones

    Is there anyway to connect iphone to other devices via bluetooth.like nokia and other phones

    No
    Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone devices/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps from the app store, and tethering where provided by the carrier.
    Other than this, it will not connect to any computer/phone/device.

    "I have an Iphone 4s and i can't make a connection to my mac and other devices via bluetooth! ":
    That is correct.
    "Why is this a problem and how can i repair it?"
    Becasue this has never been a feature of iphone/ipod/ipad.  There is nothing to repair.

  • My iPhone 5 will no longer connect via bluetooth to Fitbit Flex or wireless headset

    My iPhone 5 will no longer connect via bluetooth to my Fitbit Flex aftering updating to ios 7.  Apple phone support had me completely erase and set my phone up again as new to restart bluetooth pairing, then restore again through iCloud.  Worked last night but same problem today.  It also will no longer connect to my wireless headset in my car.  Of course I'm now 5 days over my 1 year warranty as well.  Any ideas?

    Delete the pairing from both devices then pair them again.

  • Why can't I connect to samsung or htc device via Bluetooth?

    Why can't I connect to samsung or htc device via Bluetooth? or can't copy any picture or song from my laptop to Iphone 5?

    Because this has never been a feature of iphone/ipad/ipod touch.
    Ipod touch/iphone/ipad support bluetooth for handsfree telephone devices, stereo speakers/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps form the app store, and internet tethering where provided by the carrrier.
    Otherwise, they will not connect to another phone/device/computer.

  • How do I transfer photos from my iPhone 4 to my iPad 3 via Bluetooth?

    I want to transfer photos from my iPhone 4 that is still running on iOS6, to my iPad 3gen that's running on iOS7. How do I do it? Do I need to download an app to facilitate the transfer and if so, which is the best app to use?

    Carolyn,
    Once again, I see you're giving out false information. Please refrain from replying to threads where you do not know the answer. It doesn't help anyone.
    Photos CAN be transferred between iOS devices via Bluetooth. There are dozens of apps in the AppStore for doing just that. Just search the AppStore for "bluetooth photo" to find them.

  • My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calles does not work.  It looks like it is working but doesn't.  I have tried in my Hyundai and a Dodge rent car and get the same results.  I updated the last 8.0.2.

    My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calls does not work.  It looks like it is working but doesn't.  I have tried in my Hyundai Sonata and a Dodge Dart rent car and get the same results.  I updated the last 8.0.2.  It worked the first day i had the phone, and then i updated to Ios 8.0.2 and it quit working.
    Now when i get in the car, it acts like it is connected and makes the same call it was on after syncing to bluetooth, but it really isn't on a call.  This is happening on both cars.
    Does anyone know if this is the phone and i need to take it to Apple or if there is an issue that Apple is working on getting a fix for?
    My son in law has the exact same phone as me, we both got the on 10/6, he had a Dodge Dart and his is working via bluetooth.
    Someone HELP please, as i consider this a safety issue by not having my calls go to bluetooth.

    We had the same problem, but figure out the solution.
    You MUST have at least 1 song added to your ITUNE!  After you add a free song, then everything else should work as normal!
    Hope this helps!
