Is it possible to connect my Ipad2 via bluetooth to my iMac

I'd like to sync my new iPad2 via bluetooth to my Quadcore i7 iMac, instead off using the thin white USB-cable that comes with the iPad2. Syncing works fine over the cable, but it would be easy the use a wireless connection to sync iPad2 via iTunes on the iMac. Any suggestions? I've heard a rumor that iOS5 would support such wireless link...

Transferring such data via bluetooth - music, videos, and 3rd party apps would not be nice. Via w-fi would be nice which will be supported with iOS 5.

Wirelessly sync your iOS device to your Mac or PC over a shared Wi-Fi connection. Every time you connect your iOS device to a power source (say, overnight for charging), it automatically syncs and backs up any new content to iTunes. So you always have your movies, TV shows, home videos, and photo albums everywhere you want them.

    Hi Tomiwa,
    You cannot print from the iPad to that printer. AirPrint and Bluetooth are completely different.
    There may be apps you can buy that will enable using that printer, but that is not an ideal solution.
    That particular printer has had many bad reviews, and is unreasonably expensive for its features. Considering that you just bought the printer, as well as its lack of AirPrint, I suggest you return it and buy a printer that supports AirPrint.

  • Is it possible to connect two Macs via USB ?

    Is it possible to connect two Macs via USB just like Firewire back in the day via Target mode or is there something similar? I am asking this because about 2-3 years ago I would normally image Macs via Target Mode. I used to have a regular Macbook running 10.6 along with a customized-ready-to-go .dmg image saved on the Desktop. Whenever I needed to put that image into any Mac I would simply connect the two Macs via Firewire, I would then press "T" at startup which will get me in Target Mode, I would then see the disk appear in the desktop of the Mac I had the image. I would then copy that image to the T mode macbook using super duper. Can this still be done through USB with new models and if so will I also need to press T at startup ?

    No, USB connection does not qualify for this, only firewire and thunderbolt, as I read (but cannot test, for the time being I have only one such mac around).
    This is why the short series of alu MBs (2008) are not qualified for target mode either.
    p.s. What ‘new models’ do you refer to?

  • Would't be able to connect nokia mobile with ipad2 via bluetooth

    Dear Freinds,
    I just bought an Ipad2 32 GB but unfortunately wouldn't be able to operate it properly.
    Problem 1 - Trying to tranfer some data from my Nokia C7 to Ipad2 via bluetooth but every time it shows error "UNABLE TO CONNECT"
    Problem 2 - When i tried to download free apps from apple store through my Ipad it always ask me for my credit card detail.
    Please help me out. Thanks in advance.

    1, bluetooth on the iPad is aimed at devices such as keyboards and headphones and isn't for transferring files. The bluetooth profiles that are supported by the iPad (and iOS devices in general) are listed on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647
    2, there are instructions on this page for setting up an iTunes account without giving a credit card : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 . If you want to use an iTunes account that you've already created then you won't be charged for free apps even if you enter a credit card - you may get a temporary holding charge (to validate that the card is current and active) but that should be refunded within a few days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702

    You cannot link to another smartphone via Bluetooth from your iPad except perhaps to use the Xperia's personal hotspot (WiFi is supported, but I'm not sure about Bluetooth). If you wish to transfer files or data, that's not possible.
    Regards.

  • Why is it when i try connecting my iphone via bluetooth it says my computer is not supported?

    Why is it when i try connecting my iphone via bluetooth it says my computer is not supported?

    Because File Transfer, buy Bluetooth, has never been supported on any iPhone. Your computer and iPhone will only pair, by Bluetooth, if you're trying to Tether. If you're not trying to Tether, you can quit tring, as your phone won't pair.

  • Can you send files via bluetooth from a imac to an ipad mini

    Just purchased an ipad mini and was wanting to transfer some pictures via bluetooth from my Imac to my Ipad mini? Is this possible?
    They are paired but when it goes to transfer files, it says connection lost. Is there another way of transfering files from the computer to the ipad mini?
    Any help is much appreciated.

    No, Bluetooth on the iPad is aimed at devices such as keyboards and heapphones : supported Bluetooth profiles.
    You can sync photos to the iPad via your comptuer's iTunes. Connect and select your iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (with iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders/albums to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    There are also third-party iPad apps such as Simple Transfer which allow you to copy photos to (and from) the iPad via your wifi network.
    For documents you can use the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

  • Possible to connect to wlan via PC trough n95?

    Hi there!
    Is it possible to connect wlan with my computer using my n95? I can connect to our wlan with my phone but I can't find such a option on pc suite.
    Thank you.

    The only option on pcsuite is to connect to your providers 3g/gsm network and use your device as modem. Using your device as an WIFI usb dongle is not possible.

  • When I connect my headphones via bluetooth to my iPad 4 I lose my internet connection?

    I recently upgraded to iOS 7.1 and along with the problem mentioned in the title there are many other, not so major problems but I can put up with them.
    So basically before I updated I could do this fine with no problems but ever since it updated my Turtle Beach PX5 has been able to connect to my iPad via Bluetooth but as soon as the connection is established I lose internet connection which is extremely frustrating as I tend to FaceTime while I'm playing on a console.
    If I go into the wifi settings no possible access points are shown unless I turn off my bluetooth. Although on one occasion I have been able to connect to both services but the bluetooth was very unstable and after 20 or so seconds it seemed to have disconnected itself.
    It's extremely frustrating that I pay money for a quality product (might I add that I've very much enjoyed up to this point) expecting that both these services can run simultaneously when they cannot.
    So I wondered if there is a solution to this? Has anyone else had similar problems? And is there any way I can downgrade as the newest update (for me at least) has been a major disappointment.

    One thing you should definitely try is keeping your iPhone 4 connected via USB cable in your computer and restarting.  This should make the computer recognize that it is connected and as long as you have your iTunes set up to automatically open upon connection with your iPhone you should be all set!

  • Connecting to Printer via Bluetooth, documents print gibberish

    Howdy,
    I have a Canon Pixma iP100 and have recently installed the bluetooth accessory so that I could print wirelessly from my computer and iPhone via bluetooth. However, it won't work! I have sent documents to the printer from my computer and the documents come out in gibberish. Varying about 10 - 20 lines per page, it's become a real waste of paper and is getting to be really frustrating. Once it starts to print a document, it continuously spits out these pages of gibberish until the paper runs out as if there is no 'last page.' It does however print photos.
    I also am unable to connect my iPhone to the printer. It will not recognize that the printer is available to connect so therefore won't print anything (documents or photos). Any ideas?
    I've followed the Bluetooth Guide that came with the Canon Setup Utility and have set up the bluetooth preferences within it.
    I have a Macbook Pro (OS X 10.5.8) and an iPhone 3Gs (4.2.1)
    Thank you for your help!

    Hi again:
    Since the printer works when cable connected, it appears that he BT connection is the problem (not exactly a startling revelation! ).
    You probably have already done so, but my next step would be to contact Canon (tech support) to see if there is a software update and/or a workaround. I am jumping to conclusions, but I suspect the Canon software is not playing well with your Mac.
    Barry
    P.S. There is no OS X setting that I am aware of that would cause what you describe. However, you could trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restart. It would also not hurt to reset the SMC.
