My Bluetooth was working a week ago but it doesn't show up or connect in my bluetooth list it just says still searching for devices, why won't my bluetooth connect or pair again?

The bluetooth showed up in the bluetooth list last week & now it won't even connect to the phone when i turn the bluetooth on to start pairing it just says Searching.

Hey there Kaitlyn Turner,
It sounds like your bluetooth is not functioning correctly on the iPhone. I recommend the troubleshooting in this article for the issue you are seeing named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Bluetooth connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4562
Check that you are in range of the Bluetooth accessory with which you are trying to pair your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Most Bluetooth accessories have a range of approximately 30 feet.
On your iOS device, tap Settings > Bluetooth and find your device in the list. If your device says Not Connected, tap the name of your accessory to attempt to connect it.
Tap Settings > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth off and then on again.
Make sure that your Bluetooth accessory is turned on and fully charged or connected to power.
Make sure that your Bluetooth accessory is in pairing mode.1
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Bluetooth and locate the Bluetooth accessory you are currently connected to or attempting to connect to. Then tap and Forget this Device. Try to pair your Bluetooth accessory again.
Note: You may need to re-enter your Bluetooth accessory PIN if your accessory requires one. Some common PINs are 0000, 1111, and 1234.
Restart your Bluetooth accessory by turning it off and then on again1.
Update your device to the latest version of software. See how to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
If your Bluetooth accessory has upgradable firmware, check to see that you have the latest version1, 2.
And this troublehsooting from down the bottom if needed:
Bluetooth disconnects, intermittent connectivity, or unable to find
Move your iOS device closer to the Bluetooth accessory.
Position your iOS device and Bluetooth accessory in direct line of sight of each other. For example, move the Bluetooth accessory and iOS device to the same side of your body.
Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if performance improves.
Check for sources of potential interference and move both the iOS device and the Bluetooth accessory away from other electronic devices.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN, and APN settings.
If your device is still experiencing issues
If the steps above have not resolved the Bluetooth behavior you are experiencing, perform a software restore in iTunes.
If the issue persists after restoring your iOS device in iTunes, contact Apple for support and service options.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

  • Why won't Firefox automatically show new Hotmail emails or easilly down load attachments when it was working a week ago?

    Why won't Firefox automatically show new Hotmail emails or easily down load attachments when it was working a week ago?

    Hotmail has been having a few hiccups lately I'm afraid.
    If you don't see any emails when you log in, or nothing appears after some time, click in the middle of the grey bar on the left which has the word "'''Inbox'''" in it. This usually causes them to magically appear for some strange reason.
    I've read on on a few blogs that Microsoft is working on the problem, but don't hold your breath.<br><br>
    If this suggestion resolves the problem for you, please click the '''Solved it''' button next to this post after you log in into the forum. This will help others searching for a solution to the same problem.
    Thanks.

  • My ipad was stolen 2 weeks ago but can't be located since is off line. Please help.

    my ipad was stolen 2 weeks ago but can't be located since is off line. Please help.

    It's gone.
    The downside of the 'find my' app is that your device needs to be online, and it is an app that can be defeated within minutes by any thief that knows what they're doing.
    Hopefully you've already protected your data, changed passwords etc.
    Chances are your iPad has been wiped and sold and it's gone.
    You can or should have reported the theft to the police. You might get lucky.

  • Since reconnecting bluetooth on my 3G after accidently dropping (the ap not the phone) I have successfully reconnected only to find the phone continuously searching for devices. To stop excessive draining of the battery I turn bluetooth off.

    After successfully reconnecting my 3G iPhone to bluetooth (I accidently dropped bluetooth) the phone contantly searches for devices. Everything works fine now but it appears the battery is draining more rappidly because the phone is constantly searching in the background. I turn bluetooth off when I exit the but it drives me nutty. Any suggestions?

    Is it possible to find out what serial or UDID info is stored on iCloud being used by the FindMyIphone site?  The FMI website doesn't show anything but the name and the device image (which is a generic iPhone image, and definitely not the 5S )
    Unfortunately not.

  • Problem with printer on airport that was working 3 weeks ago.

    Hello
    I have an airport extreme and have connected to it an epson sp rx700. 3 weeks ago when I last used it, it was working fine. I have a macbook too which I print wirelessly through the extreme too. Yesterday I tried printing on my imac and it recognises it through airport settings but can't print. The print icon comes up and just says printing, but nothing happens. On my macbook its fine, prints normally. I've checked the driver and they are using the same drive which is version 8.37. All my mac OS updates are up to date on both computers. Does anyone know what could have happened in 3 weeks that could have caused one computer to print and the other not to? Would appreciate any help.

    Have you tried deleting the printer from Print & Fax and then re-adding it?

  • Report works fine in VS2010 but simply doesn't show when published

    Problem:
    Crystal Report works fine in VS 2010 but doesn't show when published to web-server, there is no error, it simply doesn't show.
    Background:
    Installed VS2010 on a freshly installed and fully updated (.net 4.0 is included in the updates) windows server 2003 box with production release Crystal Report 2010. Nothing else is on the server.  IIS 6 is running.  My web-server and VS2010 is on the same box.
    I went ahead and created a new asp.net 4.0 web project called webapplication1. Thereafter, i put a few controls (text-boxes, list-boxes and so on)  on the default.aspx page. Then i created a report.aspx page. This page will have the crystal report viewer on it. I went ahead and set the report up without much hassle (got how-to's from the internet).  I successfully tested my web app with the built-in testing server, the beautiful crystal report presented exactly what i asked it to. There was one recurring "Sys.Application is null or not an object" hiccup that occured every time during testing when i navigated from the default.aspx page to the report.aspx page (the page the report is on). Clicking ignore or continue  on the dialogue box that comes up because of the hiccup will allow testing to continue.  Here's a screen-shot of this recurring hiccup.
    http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Testing-Error.jpg
    As i've shown, testing went great, except for the hiccup. I now moved to setup a publish profile. Since my web-server and VS2010 is on the same box this seemed relatively straight forward. All the files went over except the report, i.e. crystalreport1.rpt  file. I solved this by  setting the build action to 'Content' in the CrystalReport1.rpt properties. I did a republish. Now i have all my files, see screenshot: [http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Application-Home-Directory.jpg], on the web-server.
    I proceeded to try to browse to my app from another computer on my network. This was successful until i tried to navigate to the report.aspx page that the crystal report is on. The the report.aspx page loaded but the crystal report was simply not on it. No errors, not even the hiccup from testing occured. Its as if the crystal report viewer was never on the page to begin with. Only when i right clicked on the page and 'view source'  did i see some remnants of the crystal report viewer.
    Here is the Report.aspx page when tested in VS2010:
    [http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/successful-Test.jpg|http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/successful-Test.jpg]
    Here is the Report.aspx page when published to the web-server and browsed to from another computer on the network:
    [http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Reportviewer-Disappear.jpg|http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Reportviewer-Disappear.jpg]
    Details of adding report to my web app:
    1) Populate my dataset then write the XML schema, reportschema.xml
    2) Added the crystal Report to the project then used the wizard to navigate to the reportschema.xml. Of course i had to create new connection in Database expert. see screen-shot:
    [http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/CR-Database-Expert.jpg|http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/CR-Database-Expert.jpg]
    3) I formatted the report the way i wanted it
    4) Added the Crystal report viewer on the Report.aspx page
    5) In the code-behind of the Report.aspx page i bound the viewer to a report document that is loaded with CrystalReport1.rpt file
    see screenshot: [http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Report-Page-Code-behind.jpg]
    That's it.  As mentioned, it tested fine in VS2010 but the viewer doesn't show when i publish to the webserver. I wrote a crystal report in .net about 8 years ago. Things have changed soooo much since then.
    I am wondering if its a license issue? Was also wondering if it had anything to do the testing hiccup, even though research is suggestion the two are unrelated.
    I've described my actions as best as i could (without getting into ridiculous detail) and have included screen-shots of relevant stages of the process. Have a look and tell me your thoughts. Thanks.

    The "Sys.Application is null or not an object" issue is known, submitted for a resolution and documented in KB #1528503. Unfortunately the KB search has been down the last couple of days...
    However, the issue is limited to compile time and does not affect a completed application.
    Re. the viewer missing. Sounds like the viewer directory did not get created or configure correctly. Before I get to that. You mention:
    "I proceeded to try to browse to my app from another computer on my network."
    This bring up the question: If you run the app right on the app server. e.g.; not a client computer, does the viewer and report come up? Is this issue isolated to client computers on the network?
    I suspect that the issue exists irrespective of which computer you try to see the report from - but that is an assumption. If the assumption is correct, see [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50aa68c0-82dd-2b10-42bf-e5502b45cd3a] article on configuring the viewer. The article does not have CR4VS2010 documented, but you should be able to guide your self using the article. I think the pattern will be obvious.

  • ADOBE PREMIERE ELEMENTS 7.0: CLONE STAMP RANDOMLY STOPPED WORKING A WEEK AGO.

    I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS HERE: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2211084
    It would mean A LOT TO ME IF anyone HELPED ME. I HAVE THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM RIGHT NOW AS THAT LINK, EXCEPT MINE IS ONLY THE CLONE STAMP.
    I use a Windows Vista and use Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0 on it.
    I have the same exact problem now, the clone stamp randomly stopped working, a week ago. I tried resetting, doing everything else you can think
    of and its just not working. Now I also tried doing that trick on that link that helped that person, but since I have a windows vista I am so lost and
    don't know how to get to those settings or where to go. Anyone know anything about how to help fix mine, please reply to me. It would mean so much
    to me. What also makes me sad is that I misplaced my cd-rom to uninstall and re-install, thats why I want to get through this naturally and try to fix it without re-installing it and stuff. Please help me.

    I read the other post. I wasn't sure from your post if you were able to reset the preference files or not. (I wasn't sure if you ever got the reset dialog.)
    Reset application preference files:  When you click the Editor launch icon, press and hold in the ctrl + shift + alt keys. Do not release these three keys. A dialog box will come up saying something like "Delete Photoshop Elements settings file?" After this dialog comes up, you can release those three keys. Click OK to accept.
    See if that works.
    If the above, did not work...
    Did you just install a program right before this started happening? If so, that program might be "stealing" the alt key. See this article:

    Hello Kimbo1991,
    It sounds like your phone is not successfully booting even though you have reset the device. I would next recommend attempting a backup and restore to iTunes with this article:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    If you are unable to restore with iTunes I would next put the device into recovery mode, and attempt the restore again:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
