IPhone 4S, MacAir, Bluetooth compatibility

I cannot get my iPhone 4S to connect to my MacAir via bluetooth.  Is it me or that they just don’t talk to each other?

It's you.
They've never been able to 'talk' to each other. Data transfer using Bluetooth has never been a feature of the iOS.
Bluetooth supported profiles are listed here:

You can't use AirDrop either before you ask:

What you're supposed to do is use iTunes and the cable provided with the iPhone.

You could have easily found this out first prior to asking your question.

  • IPhone 6 plus Bluetooth compatibility for Infiniti

    Has anyone who has an 2013 Infiniti been able to connect their IPhone 6 Plus to their Bluetooth? I've been told for the last 4- 5 months Apple would be fixing the problem with the next update. However, that has not happened. I was told today that when the watch comes out April 24 it will have another update but they don't know if it will fix this problem. I was told by Apple today that if I want it to work I need to downgrade to 5S. This doesn't make sense. I have a newer car, how can it not be compatible? Any suggestions on how to fix it?

    I haven't seen many issues with Infiniti connectivity. Have you gotten out the Infiniti manual, cleared the BlueTooth settings, then put it into Pairing mode, at the same time the phone is in Settings/BlueTooth?

    Hi AMRS11,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The article linked below has some great tips that should be able to help you resolve the intermittent Bluetooth connection issue that you described.

    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.
    Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN, and APN settings.
    If your device is still experiencing issues
    If the steps above have not resolved the Bluetooth behavior you are experiencing, perform a software restore in iTunes.
    If the issue persists after restoring your iOS device in iTunes, contact Apple for support and service options.
    Notes:
    If needed, refer to your Bluetooth accessory documentation or manufacturer for assistance.
    Some Bluetooth accessories may require a firmware update for full compatibility with iOS devices such as a firmware update for AVRCP 1.4 Bluetooth compatibility.
    Cheers!

  • Iphone 3GS as Bluetooth receiver.

    I work on the mines and want to listen to the TV with headphones on as not to disturb next room.
    I have got a Bluetooth transmitter than I can plug into the TV Earphone Jack and I would like to pair my Iphone with this and use it as a receiver into which I would plug in my earphones.
    I know simple solution is to buy a bluetooth compatable headphones, but a have a nice set already and wish to use these rather than carry around 2 sets.
    Is this possible and is there an app for it?

    okay I will try and simplify it.....
    One end of the room you have a TV and at the other you have me on the bed with headphones. I want to be able to watch TV with my headphones on as not to disturb the rooms either side.....
    okay, I am trying to work out how to acheive this using blue tooth tech. The TV sound will be transmitted via the headphone jack on the TV to a BT transmitter (ie SONY HWSBTA2W Stereo Bluetooth Transmitter ) then on the receiving end I want to pair my Iphone to this device as a BT receiver to which I will plug my Headphones into the earphone jack on the Iphone and listen as if I was listening to my music.
    okay to recap, TV (A) sound at one end of the room sent via an independant Bluetooth Transmitter (b) ......... to me at the other end of the room received by my Iphone (c) as a (Bluettoth receiver) and played via the headphone jack into my headphones (d)
    A-B .............C-D
    not sures without drawing a diagram I could explain it any clearerm I understand a lot of the time the Iphone will act as a transmitter to send music to a source be it car stereo but effectively this is the other way around

    Hi there.
    I connected to my livebox after about three attempts. You have to pair the livebox by pressing either the number one or two that is on the box. When it is in pair mode it stays that way for ten minutes so it gives you chance to try your wep code that is on the bottom of the box a few times. I can't remember which one was successful but i did try the letters in uppercase and lower and one of them seemed to connect.
    Welcome to discussions by the way.
    Hope this helps JB

  • My pc cannot connect to iphone 4 using bluetooth,says no bluetooth driver.

    my pc cannot connect to iphone 4 using bluetooth,says no bluetooth driver.

    What exactly are you trying to achieve by connecting via bluetooth? If you have a tethering plan, that's the only thing that's supported via bluetooth to a computer. It cannot sync or transfer files via bluetooth. Those are not features of the iPhone.

  • Hi my iphone 3gs wifi, bluetooth and imei not working

    hi my iphone 3gs wifi, bluetooth and imei not working

    Do you have modified software installed on your device?
    If not, try to set it up as new device, explained here, without using the latest backup afterwards, in case it is containing corrupt data.

    If this does not help, you'll have to get it serviced, there might be a hardware problem.

  • My Ipad 1 suddenly does not see my iphone 4 on bluetooth

    from one minute to the other my Ipad will not any more recognize the Iphone in the bluetooth mode.
    both are enabled. I reseted ipad, restored it from the backup via itunes. but nothing changed.
    I am not amused !
    Anybody out in the world who had this problem?

    Try something very simple .... quit iTunes, reboot the iPad and then restart the Mac and try again.
    Reboot 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.

  • How can I link my iPad Air and iPhone 4s via Bluetooth, please?  They haveBluetooth turned on but will not find each other.

    How can I link my iPad Air and iPhone 4s via Bluetooth, please?  They both have Bluetooth turned on but will only search and find nothing. The words 'Now Discoverable' appear under the search panel.

    for the devices to find each other via Bluetooth you would need to turn on the iPhones cellular hotspot and then let them search for each other. As far as I have found this Bluetooth connection is only for connecting the iPad to internet via iPhones data plan.
    To transfer photos you could setup a new photo stream and put the photos you want transferred in it. When it syncs to the iPad you can save directly to the camera roll and delete the photo stream. You may also be able to delete the photos old photos and re-add them to photo stream so it looks like they are new to the iPad.
