IPhone Bluetooth not sharing with iMac - WHY????
iPhone Bluetooth not sharing with iMac - WHY????
How can this function not be available on iPhone - What an embarrassing disgrace Apple!!
I refuse to conform to iTunes - NO!
Am so over your lack of basic user services Apple - sort your **** out!!!
The simplest answer is that the existing Bluetooth is not suitable for this purpose. With a max speed of 2.1 Mbps (0.5% that of USB), it would be pretty painful to use for this purpose - a backup of a 16GB iPhone would take a whole day. Transfer a movie? It would take an hour.
On top of that, Bluetooth doesn't provide a standard mechanism for the type of data transfer and synching that iPhone needs -- they'd have to write their own propriety one and you'd still have to use proprietary software to do the data transfer / synching.
A better mechanism would be standard Wi-Fi, which would be MUCH faster than Bluetooth and for which the protocols necessary are already in place. It's still comparatively slow to USB (about 10% that of USB), but much faster than Bluetooth. However, it appears that Apple's research has led them to believe that waiting an hour or two for the phone to backup over Wi-Fi using the existing mechanism is still undesirable.
From what they've indicated about iOS5, however, it seems that they will be supporting more over-the-air updating and synching mechanisms, meaning that, for the first time, you can do most everything but backup the phone without iTunes (though document exchange for certain apps is much faster and easier with iTunes, it won't be necessary).

spill water on my Iphone and I want to recover photos on my Ipad The pictures on the Iphone were not shared with other apple devices is it possible get my photos from the iCloud ?
Had you set your iPhone up to use Photo Stream?
Had your performed an iCloud backup of your iPhone before it was damaged?
If you did neither of the above, then your photos are not in the cloud, and they are gone.
If you performed an iCloud backup, then it would contain the photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll (taken on the iPhone) at the time of your last backup. You could restore this iCloud backup to a device.
If your iPhone used Photo Stream, those photos are immediately accessible to your iPad if you set it up to use the same Photo Stream. -

I have tried to download Yosemite so that my imac 2010 (OSX 10.6.8) will sync with my new iphone6 - but the yosemite icon is just sitting on tool bar saying - waiting -for several hours now - Do I need to download an earlier operating system before I can download Yosemite and is this why my imac is not syncing with iphone 6 or is it a different issue? I have also rebooted phone and imac once connected- thank you

Why iPhone 5 not charge with its own charger but will with iPhone 4 charger
why iPhone 5 not charge with its own charger but will with iPhone 4 charger. Thanks to the member who posted that fix.
It sounds to me like the charger that came with the iPhone 5 is defective, or the cable is if you've been switching the cables when you switch the chargers.

In Itunes it is set to automatically sync to the laptop and in info sync contacts is checked and all contacts are checked.On my Mac Pro, contacts and Thunderbird contacts are synced. I want my Iphone to sync with the Contacts on the Mac Pro. Incidently I am not using Icloud. Is that the problem?

can we get apple to make a fix to download that would enable the bluetooth file sharing with any deivce? i would like to to stay with Apple iphone but if they dont improve the lack of features.. i will move on and I know im not the only person to think like this.
regards
gavin_pThere is not "fix" to be provided, Apple made a decision to not include the file sharing profile.
You are welcome to provide feedback, but after six years, I would not hold your breath.

iphone will not sync with itunes or ture on only with it on a charger but will only keep popping up the apple sign or on acation show iso6 on screen and say sync with conputer but as soon as i take it off yhe charger it wont do anything
I followed the instructions in those 2 articles. Still not able to see the device in ITunes. I reinstalled the latest iTunes and all updates to my iMac (Mac OSX ver 10.6.8). I tried 3 different USB Cables in different USB ports. Rebooting both the Iphone and IMac. Still nothing seems to be working. I searched the discussion boards and I see other people with the same problem but they seem to run into the same problems finding a solution. I dont understand what happened because this was working properly up until 2 days ago. Do you have any more suggestions?

I have a lot of contacts in my phone that are not mine. In addition, my contacts are showing up on peoples devices that I do not associate with. Why is this happening?
Hey Raffiecat,
Thanks for the question. If your iPod is setup to manually manage content, you can add content from multiple libraries:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod

When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad.
You can also learn which content you can import to your new computer from your iPod:

Or, if you still have access to the previous computer, you can transfer your iTunes Library:

Touch screen problem - 3,5 jack in Iphone is not compliant with other 3,5 headset
Hi,
I have plugged a Beast head set in to my Iphone 5; 3,5 jack after that the touch screen is problem. Sometimes I can not select correct a application icon (Another app near by openned) or I can not type correct a character (one or some other character apreared) when I try to type.
I did all kind of reset, inclucluded factory reset. But the problem still remain the same.
How to fix this issue?
PS: Before I have same problem with my Iphone 2G when I try with a Ipod headset. I think that it is all Apple headset but it is diffrence. It seem the Ipod headset is not included microphone that why the pin is diffrence. After sometimes I try with Ipod headset then touch screen totally die and shop need to change for me a new Iphone.
Does the 3,5 jack in Iphone is not compliant with other 3,5 headset?
Thanks,i restored as a new. I am facing following problems :
1. if iphone is locked then it won't get unlocked. I need to swipe/restart many times to unlock it. or need to use siri to unlock it.
2. after unlocking iphone, it will work normally for few mins then there is some abnormal behaviour in its working.
for e.g some applications will open without actually opening it. some applications will close automatically.
3. sometimes suddenly in the middle of work, iphone touch will stop responding.
There is no specific case for above problems. I m facing these issues in the middle of any applications at any moment of time.
