IPod Touch won't find Bluetooth headsets

I have 2 Bluetooth headsets, one of which is brand new, but my iPod Touch will not find any of them whatsoever.
Any tips? I have Bluetooth turned on but it still constantly says "Searching..." under devices and never finds anything. And I know the mics are in pairing mode because they work fine with my PS3.
Thanks in advance

If you are talking about a headset that has a earpiece(s) and and mic it depends up the bluetooth profile that the headset uses. Many such headsets, especially mono ones use the Hands Free Profile (HFP) with the iPod does not support. The iPod supports Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP). See the following for supported BT profiles.

  • My apple devices all on iOS6.1.3 (iPhone 5, iPad 4 and iPod touch) won't find Bluetooth devices

    My iPhone 5, my iPad 4th generation and my iPod touch will not find my Bluetooth panasonic speaker or any other Bluetooth devices that are switched on. They all have the iOS.6.1.3 software. When you turn on Bluetooth on any of these devices it just swirls  around and doesn't continuously and never finds any devices despite my Panasonic Bluetooth speaker being available. Can anyone help or come up with any suggestions as to why all three of my devices cannot Find or connect to any Bluetooth device? Much appreciated!! Thanks!! X

    Based on your explanation, it sounds like your Panasonic speaker and "any other Bluetooth devices that are switched on" are not in pairing mode when your iPhone, iPad, and iPod are looking for devices to pair with.
    The most likely way to achieve your objective would be to cycle power on the Panasonic speaker and other devices at just about the same time as you start your Bluetooth pairing hunt on the Apple devices.  In other words, turn on Bluetooth on, say, the iPhone and then quickly after that, cycle power on the Panasonic speaker.

  • Ipod touch won't connect to computer, windows 7, and itunes, and won't charge on my computer

    Whenever I plug in my ipod touch to my computer, NOTHING HAPPENS.There is no "bleep" sound, nothing shows up under my computer, nothing shows up in itunes, and my ipod touch won't even charge. How can I fix this?
    I have tried many things to fix this issue, including reading and doing everything listed under "iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows".
    I have:
    - deleted itunes and reinstalled it
    - reset my ipod touch using the home and power key
    - tried fixing drivers
    - using a different cord
    - using a different computer (my ipod touch won't even show up on any other computer)
    etc.
    And yet my ipod touch still will not connect to my computer or itunes, and will not charge on my computer. It charges fine in the wall, though.
    I have more information that I believe may be integral to fix this issue:
    - My ipod touch is up to date with iOS 8.0.2
    - My itunes is up to date with version 11.4
    - I tried to connect my ipod using bluetooth, and it shows up like this
    (other than this, it won't show up on my computer at all)
    - After I had updated my ipod touch and itunes and even synced my ipod (which had worked fine), I had then put a facebook app and facebook message app on my ipod touch, which after I had done that the next day I noticed that my ipod touch would not even show up on my computer at all (so I deleted the apps) and yet the problem is still persisting.
    - I installed iCloud on both my ipod touch and my itunes
    - Other than what I stated, I have not made any changes to my ipod touch.
    In my device manager, NO APPLE PRODUCTS/DRIVERS SHOW UP ANYWHERE
    The only place that apple mobile device show up at is here -
    I've even tried to reset/stop/set to automatic the Apple Mobile Device here, and still it does not help.
    Someone please help me. I've provided much information, so some assistance would really be appreciated. If I need to provide more information, please let me know.

    You can try going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and setting and then try setting up via iTunes. If still problem then set up via wifi and go to an Apple Store
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:         
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store   

  • HT4623 My old school iPod touch won't update.  Does apple mess it's customers over by not allowing updates for older models of the touch?  My last update is Ios5.  My touch says its up to date.  So has my old school touch reached its pinnacle?

    Correct. The 3G iPod does not have the hardware to support an iOS version higher than 5.1.1
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was releases, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • HT204387 can you listen to music with your ipod touch 4g and a bluetooth handsfree device

    can you listen to music with your ipod touch 4g and a bluetooth handsfree device

    Yes if the BT device supports the profiles supported by the iPod. See:
    iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles
    The A2DP provide is used with speaker and headphones
    The Hands Free profiles (HFP) is typically used with headset (headphones and mic).

  • My iPod touch can't find any wifi?

    My iPod touch can't find any wifi at all. I've restored it reset everything and it still can't find the wifi even when I had it right next to the router. Any help please? I got this ipod from my brother a few days ago and apparently the wifi worked fine until he updated it to the 3.1 update or something like that so he gave it to me. I want to be able to connect to the wifi in my house and it just won't. Any help please????

    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My ipod touch won't connect to the wifi network?

    Hello,
    My ipod touch won't work upstairs in my house. It is a 32gb 3rd generation and you have to stand close to the router. My family has two other ipod touchs and both of them work up in my room. I need help on how to mak it so my iPod works. I have reset the network settings 5 times and I have restored it once. Neither of them work. I have had it since 2009 and i got the wifi router in February 2011. It worked until March break when I went to my friends house and my iPod wouldn't work unless I stood bside her laptop. there was 3 other iPod touchs that worked fne though. Can I get viruses on my iPod touch?? Please help

    Here's how I solved my connection issues (I got this from doing online research):
    Manually Configure Your Network: From DHCP tab, tap the STATIC tab at the top. You will be presented with 4 fields to fill in:
    Field 1 is the IP Address. This address is for your iPod and it needs to be corret inorder to connect to the network. You need to know the address of your router in order to fill this field in. If you have a home network router, chances are your router address is something like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 (you need to find this in your router's manual). Set your iPod's IP address to something like 192.168.X.150 (X= the 3rd number in your router's address).
    Field 2 is the Subnet Mask. Most likely, your Subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0 (as long as your router's address begins with 192.168.X.X).
    Field 3 is the Router Address. This address is given to you in your router's user manual. Some manufacturers even have it written on the bottom or back of the router itself. Most likely, it will be either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 (confirm with your user manual). This address is also called the Default Gateway.
    Field 4 is the DNS address. If the above fields are correctly set, these should be determined automatically. However, if they are not, you will need to get this (or these) address(es) from your Internet Service Provider. You may also obtain this information from http://opendns.com (free service).
    When I first tried this procedure, I could only receive mail and not send. Later on, I could send but not receive. After a few calls to my ISP (they said they were having problems with the internet) and a lot of entering and re-entering the information, I finally gave up and early the next a.m. I input everything again and all of a sudden I was hooked up!
    My ISP never could tell me why I couldn't get a connection.
    P.S. The port I used was 25.
    Good Luck!

  • My ipod touch won't turn on anymore!!!

    MY IPOD TOUCH WON'T TURN ON ANYMORE!!
    I don't know what happened. but I am beginning to think apple is ripping me and everyone off.
    I don't know why I paid about 200-300 dollars for this iPod to be frozen or not turn on anymore!
    When I downloaded Currency converter pro, it just froze my ipod.
    Either it's that problem, or something is wrong.
    I never dropped it in water or anything bad.
    PLEASE HELP.

    Have you've tried holding down the power button for several seconds?
    If so and you're still getting nothing you may have to do a hard restore.
    here's how to do it on Mac OS:
    1. Connect you're iPod to the computer with the sync cable, and open iTunes.
    2. Hold down the power and home buttons for 10seconds, then release the power button (continue holding the home button for about another 6-8 seconds). iTunes should display a message stating that the iPod is in restore mode and needs to be restored before it can be used (or something to that effect).
    3.Hitting the restore button will likely give an error message. You'll need to hold down option and click the restore button, which will bring up a file browser. Navigate to *<your user name>/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/* and choose iPod2,12.2.1_5H11aRestore.ipsw (or similar ipsw file depending on your ipod, or iphone, generally choose the newest one) and click open.
    4. Wait for it to restore, when that's finished you should be able to further restore it using the backup that was generated when you last synced it.
    I have never done this on windoze, but I imagine it's quite similar, just not sure where you'd find the ipsw file.

  • Ipod touch won't finish restore

    ipod touch won't finish restore.  It has apple logo with almost completed bar and it stops.  itunes still says restoring ipod software.  Just updated itunes.

    I had the same problem and the sad thing is that you wont find any solution, I left my ipod over night with the apple logo screen and the loading bar almost full but it wouldnt move, next day it was still there, I had to unplug it, and I'm pretty sure this cause irreversible damage to your device in the long term since itunes warn you no to disconnect the ipod while the sync is being done and it also messed up my computer, I had to force it to shut down since it got stuck with itunes trying to restore my ipod, you just need to keep conecting your ipod until itunes recognize it as an ipod in recovery mode then it will sync again and everything should work this time, that is what happened to me. Good luck.

  • My daughters iPod touch won't sync, says apps aren't recognized, nothing syncs though

    iPod touch won't sync at all. Only message is that some apps aren't recognized.  If I reset, will it sync? Or will she have a blank iPod because the "apps aren't recognized"?

    Use the communities search box in the upper right of this page and searc for: "the apps can't be determined". Use the quote makes and make sure the wording matches what the error message says.
    You will then find the previous discussions with the same error.  I do not remember the solution.

  • My 4th gen iPod Touch won't charge

    Hi, folks:
    Suddenly, my 4th generation iPod Touch won't charge. I don't mean it won't hold a charge; I mean it WON'T charge. There's no (peep!) when I attach it to a Mac, a Windows box, or to the wall. I've tried not only at my place but at my doctor's office, too, on his computer. Rats.
    It fell three feet onto a concrete floor a week before this happened, so I'm unsure of cause/effect there. However, chances are most excellent that I touched it while filled with static electicity (my bed is exceedingly staticky). Maybe I touched the charging port? I have no idea, but I kinda sorta have a memory of having gotten a shock while touching my pod and wondering whether that was bad.
    It'll be a couple more days before I can get to a Genius Bar (but thank cow I'm in New York City and have my pick of them!). In the meantime, can anyone calm me down about my situation? Do you imagine it's doomed (it IS still operable provided I keep it plugged in, though iTunes can't see it since it won't mount), or do you spose the installation of a new battery might bring my precious baby back to me? It IS freshly backed up (again, thank cow!), but I'm not in a position to buy a new one right now, and unfortunately, I don't know what to do with my eyeballs without a Touch in front of them.
    Oh, how I hope someone can tell me that this has happened to him, and an Apple Genius merely did something magical and handed it back intact and amazing again so Ican cry happy tears. It's been four days and I'm just sick without it (and having to look at this gigantic Mac, with its large and beautiful text in many windows, means I can't RECLINE! WAAAAH!).
    Thanks for any soothing words you have, and if you have sad ones, well, I'll vag up and read them, as I've prepared for the worst anyway (sob!). Just please deliver them gently.
    I appreciate it!

    Wow, Kevin; that's a tantalizing theory! I don't like it (I *never* like to think about logic board damage for any piece of hardware), but it's tantalizing, as it would explain my pod seemingly charging out of thin air, and it'd also explain why my pod doesn't just DIE altogether from a dead battery.
    I feel like an idiot: I have iTunes set to never sync automatically with my pod, so it never automatically recognizes the pod. I'll bet I could sync it if I clicked to "apply," as I've been downloading new apps since 2/21 (the last time I backed the pod up, mere minutes before it failed), but I don't want to risk not having a connection that's 100% and bollixing up what's on the pod now. (I'll be in the hospital for a day and will need something to read the whole time; I'll need an intact pod!)
    Thanks for sticking with me, Kevin; I always like figgering things out, and your theory's interesting. I'll mention it to the Genius. It doesn't give me any hope, but not having any hope, I can always be pleasantly surprised, whereas if I go in all hopeful, someone can dash my dreams. This way, I'll prolly just have my expectations met.
    I appreciate your talking it out with me a lot!

  • My iPod touch won't let me download any apps. .

    My iPod touch won't let me download any apps. Any time I try it sends me to a billing screen. I enter my information and it wnt accept it. Been doing it for over a month. Even with free apps. Very frustrating please help

    It appears that there is something incorrect with your billing information. You need to correct it.  For a standard account you need a valid payment method even for free apps.  You can however create a new account that is only good for apps by:
    Create an iTunes App Store account without a credit card

  • Help! My iPod touch won't let me download any apps. A message keeps coming up saying "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes store. Please enter another Apple ID" I changed my ID to see if that would work but the same message still comes up.

    Where are you physically located?
    What country's Store are you using?
    The two have to be the same and the payment method for your account also has to be associated (billing address, where iTunes gift card was purchased) with that country.
    Has the ID(s) worked before for purchases for this country's store?
