Iphone (5c) no longer connects iTunes to bluetooth since recent Apple iphone update

iphone (5c) no longer connects iTunes through bluetooth since latest update (8.1.2)

Hi Jill4547, 
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
It sounds like you're not able to sync your iPhone to iTunes wirelessly, or Bluetooth connections are not working as expected. 
The iPhone syncs wirelessly to iTunes using a Wi-Fi connection. If you haven't been able to sync wirelessly since updating to iOS 8.1.2, you can use the steps in this article to check your sync settings in iTunes:

  • IPhone 4s No Longer connects to Car Bluetooth after iOS 7.1 Update

    My iPhone 4s has been paired to our 2006 Acura TL hands free link (Bluetooth) and working flawlessly for more than a year.  After the iOS 7.1 update installed on my iPhone the connection has been lost and the car's Bluetooth does not recognize, and will not pair with my iPhone anymore!  I noticed there were two back-to-back updates for iOS7.  The first one caused intermittent interruptions and lost connections with the iPhone.  The second update completely destroyed the connection between the car bluetooth and the iPhone.  Any ideas on how to correct this problem would certainly be appreciated.  Thanks!    

    Hello algee1,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with pairing your iPhone with your Acura.
    In my experience, when updates are released for iOS devices, compatible devices release an update to maintain compatibility.  Step 2 from the article below recommends checking with the manufacturer of your car stereo to see if there is a firmware update available for your car stereo:
    2. Update software and firmware if necessary
    Verify that both your car stereo and your device have the latest software versions. Contact the manufacturer to see if any updates are available. If your device does not have the latest version of the iOS, update to the latest software version.
    I recommend reviewing the full article here for additional troubleshooting steps:
    iOS: Troubleshooting car stereo connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581
    I also recommend these steps if the issue persists after following all the steps in the previous article:
    Unable to find nearby Bluetooth accessories
    If a pairing record already exists, the device does not appear as discoverable. Try to connect the device using that pairing record.
    If you are unable to connect using the existing pairing record, delete the record and pair again.
    Ensure that the firmware or software on the Bluetooth accessory is up to date.
    Ensure that the Bluetooth accessory is charged or connected to power.
    Verify that the Bluetooth accessory is using a profile that works with the iOS device.
    Turn off both the iOS device and the Bluetooth accessory, then turn both devices on again.
    If the issue persists, test Bluetooth with another device or consult the manufacturer's documentation.

  • HT204368 After I updated my iphone 4 to ios 6.1.3 I can no longer connect to my bluetooth plantronics model M25.  I tried reset all settings after turning on and off also submitted diagnostic.  Do I have to buy yet another bluetooth set?

    After I updated my iphone 4 to ios 6.1.3 I can no longer connect to my bluetooth, plantronics model M25.  I tried reset all settings after turning on and off also submitted diagnostic.  Do I have to buy yet another bluetooth set?

    Thank you wjsten for your soon reply. Unfortunately on these days I'm in a country that Apple don't have any retail store here and for sake of time I prefer to fix it myself to DHL it to the nearest country to use its warranty. Do you have any idea how can I fix it? Do you think it's a software issue?

  • I have recently upgraded my iBookG4 from Tiger to Leopard 10.5.8 and find my Bluetooth USB adaptor no longer connects. The Bluetooth pane says inactive. Does Leopard require  USB 2.0. I've had the adaptor for some time so may be USB 1.0

    I have recently upgraded my iBookG4 from Tiger to Leopard 10.5.8 and find my Bluetooth USB adaptor no longer connects. The Bluetooth pane says inactive. Does Leopard require  USB 2.0. I've had the adaptor for some time so may be USB 1.0

    Bluetooth icon on menu bar shows bluetooth off. When opening bluetooth preferences it shows the devices I've connected previously,( my mobile phone), and other devices I've attempted to connect but not very successfully: my iPhone and MiniMac.  The bluetooth dongle in the USB port shows a continual blue light but does not react and the iBook does not recognise that it is there. There is absolutely no reaction when I try to pair my mobile phone, which I've done successfully before upgrading to Leopard, either by the iBook or the mobile phone.
    I assumed that Tiger was not bluetooth compatible with the iPhone or MacMini running SnowLeopard and hoped by upgrading to Leopard I could achieve some file transfers between the three devices (iBook, iPhone and MacMini)

    Hi rhiess,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPad may not have restored fully. I'd recommend restoring it again with the iPad in recovery mode.
    Use the steps in this article to place your iPad in recovery mode:

    After placing your iPad in recovery mode, use the steps in this article to troubleshoot the connection between it and your computer:

    If you still don't see your device in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.

  • My wireless keyboard no longer connects with my iMac since changing the batteries. It now shows as not connected, not paired and not configured. A friend recently connected his iPad to the iMac and since then the problem started. Any ideas to resolve this

    a friend told me that he wants my os x cd for my macbook pro to upgrade his imac.
    The discs that come with your Mac are "machine specfic" and cannot be used on another Mac.

  • HT1600 at the end of a recent apple tv update, a picture appeared suggesting a connection using a micro usb connection to i believe Itunes. the apple tv did not come with a micro usb connection. What to do.

    At the end of a recent apple tv update, a picture appeared showing a connection - micro usb  - to apple itunes. I don't have this micro connection. I now can't watch apple tv. what is going on?

    Many newer cameras have the Micro USB cable you can use.
    Otherwise, you will need to buy one to restore your Apple TV.

  • Since recent flurry of updates, all of which I applied, I can no longer sync photos to my iOS6 devices. Any thoughts

    Since recent flurry of updates, all of which I applied, I can no longer sync photos to my iOS6 devices.
    iTunes sync error at the photo sync step with an unknown error 1140.
    I have restarted everything, unsynced & attempted re sync to no avail.
    The photo sync screen only allows me to select the sync all option, the select specific events, albums etc . Choice is greyed out.
    This is true for both my iPhone 4S and ipad2.

    I think I have figured it out, and photos are syncing now.
    Here is what I believe happened: There is an iTunes generated folder called "iPod Photo Cache" in my "Pictures" folder on my Airpot Disk. This folder gets generated by iTunes whenever you designate a location for syncing. The "iPod Photo Cache" folder contains a file called "Photo Database".
    It looks like the "Photo Database" had been corrupted. Deleting this file, or alternatively, moving my pictures to a new folder and letting iTunes regenerate the Photo Database fixed the problem.

  • Since upgrading to OS7 my iphone 4 no longer connects to my bluetooth...pls help.

  • My Droid Razor HD updated yesterday. Now it will no longer connect to the bluetooth in my car

    Yesterday I accepted the update for my Droid Razor HD. Now it will not connect to the Bluetooth in my car (worked for the previous 8 months).

    Christin - Generally your pairings will still be in a list under BT on your phone. Unless of course, you performed a Factory Data Reset on the phone.
    Your car's radio should have a reset capability. The front panel on my SONY comes off, and there's a reset button there. Do you have documentation that came with the car for the radio, or if an aftermarket radio, for the radio itself? If not, there is generally information on the web that you can Google to find the reset procedure.
    HTH.

  • My I phone 5 will no longer connect to my car via Bluetooth since the 8.1 update?

    SInce the 8.1 update my phone will not connect to my Ford car via Bluetooth?

    Use this article: iOS: Troubleshooting Bluetooth connections - Apple Support
    Most likely your Ford needs a Bluetooth firmware update.

    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - 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.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • MacBook no longer connects to T.V. after Thunderbolt 1.2 update

    I recieved a 13 inch, mid 2012 MacBook Pro for my birthday on Dec. 20th 2013. A few days later I bought a Nexxtech Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adaptor which was working fantastically for a couple weeks when connecting my MacBook to my Insignia TV. After installing the Thunderbolt 1.2 update, my MacBook and TV no longer connect. The screen on my MacBook will flash for a second like it is detecting the TV, but that's it. I get a "no signal" sign on the TV. I've tried everything I could find on the internet. Resetting the PRAM and SMC, detecting through command + F2, turning off "displays have seperate spaces", and all the little rituals some people have to go through to get it to work. Nothing. I've even tried it on my parents LG TV. Nothing. I'm so ****** off. This was a huge reason I got a MacBook. Seeing that this update came out in May 2013 and people have been having the same issue since then, I'm not hopeful that Apple will be fixing this any time soon.

    I also can't get the media sync to connect after the update. I can get the mass storage to work with no issue, but media sync is having issues.
    Every time I connect with media sync, Windows 7 pops up a message stating that the driver failed to load and to contact Samsung. So I contacted Samsung support, which was completely useless.
    I need the media sync to work because that's the only way I've found to get DRM-protected media files to transfer properly to my Charge. If I copy them to my phone while in mass storage mode, I can't play them because there is a licensing error.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Galaxy S3 no longer connects to PC via USB after 4.3 Update

    Can anyone else verify on the Verizon JB4.3 update, that connecting their Galaxy S3
    to their PC, only initiates charging, but no longer makes the connection for data transfers.
    Developer Mode is active, and USB Debugging checked.

    I ran into this problem last night.  At least,  I wish that I could call it a problem -- and not a catastrophe
    I am in the middle of programming for a delivery next week... and all of a sudden i can no longer connect to transfer executables.   I did not agree to be disconnected; but then I didn't agree to the update either.  I am sure there is some legalese that verizon will use... but it boils down to this....
    Let's say that my lawyer, who I will be talking to next week - goes out to get in his car to go into court... that's his job.. it's how he makes his money.   But on this particular morning.... he pushes the button to start the car and nothing happens... because the car did an update during the night.
    I "pushed the button" and nothing happened.   I made sure the debugger options were unhidden and selected.  Still.. next week I get to talk with my investors and explain why I can't show them something.   
    Thanks Verizon.
