My bluetooth seems just to search without connecting...

My bluetooth seems just to search without connecting and finding any phones, PCs. If I send the transfer from another phone or pc, it does ask to pair up but always says not supported. Anyone knows how to fix this issue?

The iPhone bluetooth stack is not intended to pair with other phones or computers (except in hotspot mode for sharing your internet connection with a computer). The Bluetooth on an iPhone is designed for A2DP and AVCRP (I believe I have those correct, headset and stereo audo), as well as some peripherals like the HID keyboard drivers. Other than that, your iPhone requires custom app support for bluetooth connectivity to other devices.

My new apple tv can't find its bluetooth connection, just keeps searching

My new Apple tv can't find its bluetooth connection, just keeps searching,

Seeing as MobileMe is being discontinued with no information from Apple as to whether or not galleries will be retained, there may be little point investing time in creating new ones from now on.
Photostream alone will not cut the mustard.

Hi, I want to use my Capsule just as a back up via wireless. How do I set this up without connecting it with an ethernet cable to either a router or the iMac??

Hi, I want to use my Capsule just as a back up via wireless. How do I set this up without connecting it with an ethernet cable to either a router or the iMac??

I misunderstood what Time Capsule is and had hoped for a wireless backup device that didn't have to be connected to the router.
The TC is a wireless backup device.. it does not need to be connected to the main router..
The problem is the computer.. not the TC.. the computer has only one wireless card.. if your current internet is by wireless.. then you must choose.. internet or backup.
But my other suggestion will work.. get a wireless USB stick compatible with Mac OS.. there are plenty and cheap.. since you are in the same room as the TC they will work fine.. plug it in and load the driver.. taint hard.
You should do the first backup by ethernet though.. wireless is too slow.. once you have that, you will do fine.
Search ebay for wireless n usb.. Mac compatible..

As you can see.. they are getting smaller and neater.
I have no idea if it works .. haven't tried one.. but I have used USB wireless stick on the Mac to overcome this issue.
You will need to set static IP .. not hard but you need to set specifics if you do buy one post again for the setup.

My bluetooth seems to have stopped working in my car. Both phone and car audio says it is connected but nothing comes through car speaker. I no longer have screen on iphone that says to choose audio source. How do I get that screen back?

Thanks, this was the clue I needed to figure it out.
From Settings you can pull up Control Center.
In Control Center you can enable "Access from within Apps" (also "Access from Lockscreen")
Now when I'm playing music, I can swipe up from the bottom and a little control center window slides up. Neat - this is new since my old iPod. On this window, the name of the current Bluetooth connection appears. Tap on that, and a list of connected Bluetooth items appears. I just tap on the one I want to connect to and I am now playing through the speakers I want.

HT4528 My phone will not connect to a carrier (Verizon). It just says searching instead of showing bars. Cannot make or recieve calls or texts.

My phone just started doing this, it just says searching instead of showing bars. Cannot make or recieve calls or texts.
I have reset the network settings and the phone itself. I have called the *228 and it said it reprogramed my phone. walked away from my phone and it found service again for like 2 minutes and then went back to searching. This is pathetic, I basically have a touch now. I have hear several people have had this problem and it seems even after the phone is replaced they still have the problem. I can't belive you can spend this much on a phone to have it not work. Any resolve to this problem coming?

I have first a question. When it states to activate a phone press 1, did you do it? If not try it.
The second thing I would recommend is to simply change the phone number either online through my Verizon web portal or call customer service and have them change your number.
Then wait about 20 minutes and see if the problem has gone away.
Since the micro Sim is only good for overseas unlocked use; I believe a *228 send and select option 1 will set up your device on the Verizon network. You may just try doing that without changing your phone . Hey give it a try what can it hurt?
Good Luck

Hello,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need more information regarding what devices you are having an issue with to provide a better answer. However, most devices need to be placed in pairing mode before you will see them. Try going through the article below as it may help with this scenario.

My iphone 4 with latest software update has a problem with bluetooth. It continually searches for other devices without showing any other bluetooth devices

I have an iphone 4 with latest software update. When entering the settings for bluetooth it continues to search for devices. It does not highlight any device, just continuous searching

Hello:
What are you trying to do? If you do not wish to connect to other BT devices, turn BT off.

I just purchased an Apple TV MD199LL/A, got it connected to my internet. I can go to Youtube and watch videos. I'm able to access Netflix. All seems well except I cannot connect to my iTunes account. I have gone through the list - home sharing is set correctly on both iTunes and my Apple TV. The userid is correct on both.
Message "Loading prodrigu's library" and then "Could not connect to prodrigu's library".
I had this same problem when I installed the REMOTE application on my ipad. Everything on the list was affirmative, but had the same problem not being able to connect to my iTunes.
What is missing? Is there a firewall setting that could be causing this?

I don't mean to be facetious but sometimes the simplest things are overlooked. To connect to your library you have to have the computer where the iTunes library is located running and with iTunes open. It also needs to be on the same network. My network is dual band and works with either stream but a friend of mine does not. He has to set the computer and the Apple TV to the same band. Hope this helps.

I can't download the latest update and my phone loses WIFI all the time. When I try to connect and put in my password, It just keep searching and searching.

You can download the latest iTunes (version 11) here:

If you just want to stay with version 10, you can get 10.7 here:

Maybe it's because of Mfi approving (https://developer.apple.com/programs/mfi/)
