IPhone 5c iOS 7.1.2 - Loss of Bluetooth

Both my and my wife each have an iPhone 5c. Both have lost Bluetooth connection. Hers doesn't work with the car stereo, mine doesn't work with my heart rate monitor or cadence meter on my bike. In Settings, under Bluetooth, neither now will discover devices. We don't know when it happened exactly, but it seems to be after the 7.1.2 update as they were fine before.
Can anyone help?

Try a reset ...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
* No data is lost due to a reset

IPhone 6, iOS 8.0.2, constant dropped Bluetooth... a solution

After reading many, many, many postings here on Apple Support and all over the web about the iPhone 6 and iOS 8.0.2 and how Bluetooth connections in the car are being dropped all the time for all different makes and models of cars, I figured I'd post my "adventure" and how I solved the problem. This was posted as a reply to another posting, but I figured I'd start a new thread so people can find it easier.
Here's the posting and solution:
I had the same exact problem with my iPhone 6, running iOS 8.0.2, when connecting to my 2014 Ford Fusion with the My Ford Touch (MFT) system. Calls would "drop" after about 10 to 15 seconds. Only it wasn't the call that was dropping, but rather the Bluetooth connection crapping out.
I found the answer (which I will list at the bottom of this posting), but first here are the many things I tried BEFORE I found out the answer:
1) updated 2014 Ford Fusion MyFordTouch with latest firmware upgrade from Ford (v.3.7).
2) Unpaired and deleted iPhone 6 from MyFordTouch
3) Deleted SYNC from Bluetooth in iPhone 6
4) Reset Network Settings in iPhone 6
5) Did Master Reset to MyFordTouch system.
6) Added iPhone 6 back into MyFordTouch
7) Successfully paired iPhone 6 with MyFordTouch
8) STILL dropped calls after ALL that.
The answer I arrived at after chatting online with Apple Support Reresentative ("Emmy").   I backed up my iPhone 6 to iTunes (even though I don't normally like to use iTunes), then used iTunes to do a RESTORE to my iPhone 6., which effectively downloaded a virgin copy of iOS 8.02 to my computer and then iTunes applied it to my phone. This RESTORE function completely WIPED my phone clean (so I had to make sure I did a backup otherwise I'd have lost everything).
AFTER the restore of iOS 8.0.2, the iPhone started to walk through the setup. BUT here is the IMPORTANT part. THIS TIME, I said, "Set Up as NEW Phone" instead of "restore from iCloud backup" (like I had been doing). I skipped the signing in with my Apple ID and all the rest and got to the Home screen.
Then I went out to the Ford Fusion and paired the iPhone 6 to the car.
This time NO dropped calls at all. Worked perfectly. I spoke with a friend for over 5 minutes and the call sounded great.
THEN, Emmy (support rep) said to do an "Erase All Content and Settings" and to do it OFFLINE (meaning NOT to connect to iTunes). So, iPhone 6 was wiped again. This time when it came up, I *DID* do a "Restore from iCloud Backup" and restored the phone.
After the restore, I shut the phone off. Went to car. Deleted the pairing from previously on the My Ford Touch system.   Then took key out, opened door, and closed it (thereby "rebooting" My Ford Touch).    THEN I powered up my iPhone 6.
Paired to Ford. Pair to iPhone.
And.... it WORKED. And continues to work.
So... I'm not exactly sure why this worked. The only thing I can figure is perhaps the iTunes RESTORE that I did, wiped everything and left a clean iOS 8.0.2 and then when I did the restore from iCloud it laid on only what was not already on the iPhone in a newer state.
After you read all the above, and after I typed this, I realize that this is a LOT to do just to get back Bluetooth functionality.
I'm thinking that Apple should release an 8.0.3 or an 8.1 update that will address all this for people that don't have over 3 hours to do what I did above to restore functionality.
I've seen other posts and this is happening to ALL car makes and models, not just Ford.
Hope this helped some people.

Even easier than what I wrote originally.    Just do a RESET ALL SETTINGS . I was originally only trying the "reset network settings" but didn't try reset ALL settings.   This has helped 5 of my friends regain their Bluetooth connectivity with a variety of autos.   But remember two things: 1) back up data on your phone before trying this and 2) don't forget to delete the bluetooth original pairing from your car.

Iphone 4 ios 6 does not pair with bluetooth on 2008 BMW 325i

I just updated my iphone 4 to IOS 6 this morning. I got in my car and tried to pair the phone with bluetooth but it did not pair. I removed the device from the car's memory and tried to re-pair the device but it did not function. Can I roll back my iphone's operating system to 5.1 or how do I fix this?

I just discovered the same issue today in my efforts to get alert times synced on my iCal and iPhone after noticing a difference yesterday. I have been using the iCloud calendar sync since iCloud first came out with zero problems. Today I discover how terrible this sync is. My wife and I use a macbook, imac, 2 phones and 2 ipads to enter in calendar information and we depend on a flawless sync for our work and family schedules.
First, the iCal on my iMac has default times that get applied to every singe item, even if that item had an alert beforehand. But this default alert time is not applied as an alert on my iPhone4 calendar just the imac. I haven't even looked at my macbook yet for fear of what i may discover. After changing alerts and unchanging them and activating default times and deactivating them and wasting time doing this i just need to go through every event on my iphone to make sure that is now correct since I use that the most. What an unbelievable hassle for a program that worked flawlessly beforehand. Apple needs to recify this and have the sync work like it did before.
I am running:
Mavericks 10.9.1
iTunes 11.1.3
iCal Version 7.0 (1835.1)
iPhone4 on 7.0.4 (11B554a)

Updating my iphone to ios 6

Everytime I try to update my Iphone to ios 6, it starts to update and then after a while I get an error message saying "An error occurred while backing up this iphone (-43). Would you like to continue to update this iphone? Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iphone."
What can I do?

Normally you would have all your media in your local library and would just sync to the device. You can access your past purchases from the iTunes store and download any that you need to your iTunes library, or download directly to the device from within the iTunes app.

Security Software For iPhone 6(iOS 8)

Hi,
Are there "Security Software For iPhone 6(iOS 8)"?
Thanks.

What about software like the "Norton Security" - protects from loss and privacy concerns like unwanted access to your messages, contacts and photos.
Or the "Norton Mobile Security" - against potential privacy risks, malware and phishing.
Thanks.

Again, as you've already been told..unless you jailbreak your phone, you don't need any security software.

Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password. On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

IPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) Won't Sync Movies

My iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) stopped syncing videos a few days ago, and removed all the videos I did have on it. Everything else is syncing fine. I double checked that my iOS 5.0.1 & iTunes software (10.5.1) are both up to date. The same goes for my MacBook Pro OS X Version 10.7.2.
iTunes seems normal as if it synced fine, but the "video" app on my iPhone says "No Videos. You can download videos from iTunes." And when I search for specific movies on my phone, none is found. I did a master reboot on my phone, but am hesitant to restore my phone, too, because I always have to re-arrange apps afterwards. Apparetnly, iTunes will remember every setting about my phone except app folders.
Even though this is an Apple problem, it refuses to help me at all, because my phone is already a few months old. Any help from you would be appreciated.
Many thanks!

I have exactly the same issue iTunes 10.5.1 / iPhone 4s (iOS 5.0.1) - impacts Movie and TV Show synch in the same way as described above.

IPhone 4S iOS 7 not syncing - stuck on "determining apps to sync"

Hello all:
My upgrade to iOS 7 started out smoothly enough, but now I have a problem. When I attempt to sync via USB, I get to step 3, "Determining apps to sync," and the sync doesn't go any further. I've tried it a couple of times now, and my current attempt is at 20+ minutes of just sitting there at the same status. Clicking the x in the status box doesn't cancel the sync. I have to force quit (or disconnect) for it to stop.
In the process, my contacts and calendars were erased on my phone, but are still in iCloud. I don't think anything else is missing. All of my apps in iTunes are up to date.
System info:
iPhone 4s
iOS 7.0.2
OSX 10.8.5
iTunes 11.1.1
I can't think of anything else to share. Is there any hope of getting out of this loop? Thanks!

This is very irritating I have a new iMac ($5000) an New ipad ($1000) when I sync the ipad to iTunes I get stuck at "determining apps to sync". I cant even shut down the iMac. I thought apple didnt make junk. ***

IPhone 4 iOS 5.0.1 stops receiving calls and text messages

Hi all,
My iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) suddenly stopped receiving calls and text messages. However, I'm still able to send them.
The workaround for fixing this issue is to make an hard reset to the iPhone.
This only occured with 5.0.1 version. It's very annoying because I'm not able to know if it's working or not (I can only suppose that it's not working when I'm a long period without receiving calls/messages)
Do you know how to solve this ?
Thanks in advance!

First, who really cares what you do? I certainly don't, and I doubt the vast majority of users on this forum don't either. Ridiculous statements like that just make you look stupid.
Second, this is a user to user technical support forum. I saw a lot of whine here, not a question. What is your technical support question?
