My iPad can't find my Sony Ericsson phone via Bluetooth

Hi, can anyone help me please? Both of my devices my iPad with retina display and my Sony Ericsson Arc S, have the Bluetooth turned on but they won't connect with each other. Does anyone have advice on how to connect them as I'd like to transfer my photos from my phone. The message on my iPad is cannot find phone make sure it's switched on :-/

iPads and iPhones do not support bluetooth file transfers to each other or any other device. There may be apps in the app store that can allow such things but each hone has to be running the same app. iOS Devices also don't allow bluetooth transfers from computers.

I can't get iPad 2 to link with my Android phone via Bluetooth... Is it unable to?

I tried to get my android phone to sync with my new iPad 2 but it said it was not capable of doing so. Is there any way around this? Is there something else I am not doing right?

There is no way to do this as of yet iOS 4.3 added Bluetooth support but only between iOS devices.

Can't connect to my phone via bluetooth from windows 8.1

I have just bought a Lenovo G50 laptop but it can't find my samsung GT-S5830i via bluetooth.
It will connect to my old laptop though.

Ok, if reinstalling iTunes as suggested above does not resolve the issue of iTunes recognising the iPad then try this -
Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
Thirdly, make sure your lead /connections are no faulty.
Fourthly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
As for making your new laptop your 'home computer' follow these instructions -
1. Without connecting your iPad to your computer -
A) Install iTunes / make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed.
B) Go to the Store tab and click on "Authorise This Computer".
C) Go to Edit, click on Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and click on Devices. Put a check mark in the box next to "Prevent iPods/iPhones/iPads from syncing automatically". Click OK and close iTunes.
2. Connect your iPad to your computer -
A) Start iTunes (it will not start automatically because of the action at 1(C) above).
B) Right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select "Transfer purchases".
C) When the transfer has completed, right click on your iPad again and select "Backup".
D) When the backup has completed, left click on your iPad, click on the Apps tab, and put a check mark in the box next to "Sync Apps", and then click on "Apply" (bottom right).
E) Unless you want to always do a manual sync (as I do), go back to Edit, Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and uncheck the box next to "Prevent your iPod.....".
F) Finally, on your iPad, check that everything is syncing properly. If not, go back to iTunes and check all settings.
NB You should not lose any apps. However, any 'purchased' missing apps can be downloaded again FOC. As with updates, this must be done with the Apple ID under which they were originally 'purchased'.

Cannot print to HP Officejet Pro iPad can't find printer?

AirPrint working well from my iMac but my iPad can't find it! ( even when I am next to it!)

Which OfficeJet Pro printer is this? What is the specific model?

My iPad can't find my specific Wifi network

Hello,
About two days ago while on my iPad, my wifi connection suddenly dropped from my network. I didn't think much of it because my room is far from my router, so I went downstairs and tried to connect. However, my iPad couldn't find my wifi network. It showed all the other networks around my house that it normally does, but not mine, I thought my router may have possibly shut off, but my iPhone, computers, and Xbox all connected fine. I tried restarting the iPad, resetting network settings, turning airplane mode on and off, restarting the iPad while airplane mode was on... nothing. I restarted my router several times, nothing.
I'm not sure what the issue is, as again it is specifically my wifi network that the iPad can't find, even though there's 5 iPhones, one mac, one laptop, 2 Xbox's, and 2 other iPads that can all connect to my wifi without a hitch. Is this some sort of known issue with the iPad? It's an iPad 2, by the way. Or do I have to take it in to a store?
Thanks.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

I have a cannon mg3120 air printer and it is connected to my wifi but my iPad can not find a printer, what can I do

1. Reboot iPad
2. Reboot router

HT204368 iPhone 5 Bluetooth not working. Nor can it find my iPad, and the iPad can't find it, but can find my old Nokia phone.

New iPhone 5 can't find any Bluetooth devices. I have reset the network settings without any luck. I have an iPad which can't find the iPhone but can find my old Nokia phone on Bluetooth. I want to use Bluetooth with my hearing aids, which work fine with the Nokia.
In terms of what is happening, when I turn on Bluetooth, I get "searching" under the devices section but no devices are found. Grey Bluetooth icon beside battery life icon.
Anyone solved this problem?

iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles
Iphone/ipod/ipad will not connect to each other.

Ipad2 printer is wifi but iPad can't find it. Any suggestions please.

I have bought a wifi printer, connected it to sky router but iPad can't find it. Any suggestions please.

Left to its own devices, the iPad won't find any printers at all except for, I gather, AirPrint ones. All the rest have to be handled in various different ways through various different apps and techniques.
Suggest you provide a bit more information about what you're actually trying to connect and perhaps someone can provide some more specific info for you.

I have a new PC and the iPad can't find it to sync

I have a new PC and now the iPad can't find it to sync. How do I change the settings so the iPad recongizes my new PC?

You mean iTunes doesn't see the iPad.
If you are running iTunes 11 - go to View>Show Sidebar at the top of the screen in the iTunes menu. When the sidebar is enabled - do you see the iPad under Devices?

Using Sony Ericsson HBH-608 Bluetooth Headset for mac

Dear All,
I have decided to pair up my "Sony Ericsson HBH-608 Bluetooth Headset" to my macbook.
I have successfully paired it up with my mac, but i am not able to use it.
I mean, i want to use it as a mic and headset to get over calls using skype.
Can some body suggest me wat went wrong in the process and why i am not able to use my bluetooth device ?
Cheers and Thanks !!

Nopes. I cant see that.
But in Bluetooth devices, I can see my headset configured and paired with the mac, but it is not connected for some reason. The headset stops beeping which means it is connected. But it is not being shown there.
I think there are some connection probs. Ways to find it out ??
please let me know

I feel cheated at Sony Ericsson phones

I have a W980 phone and your DESIGN FLAWS on your UNIQUE PLUG SYSTEM broke off and cutting the solder ends with it, now it is unable to be soldered thus making it unable to be reformated from a previous hang on the operating system. Now i have no way of using it anymore... what should i do about this phone and future sony ericsson phones if the same thing happen again?

There is no repair option. Technicians gave up on it.
If you know your SE well, you should be very much informed that once this plug outlet is torn-off from the motherboard with its solder ends with it... IT CANNOT BE FIXED.
...it cannot be charged
...pretty much it cannot be connected to anything anymore
...not unless you wanna order a new motherboard for the phone, which is not applicable.
Why can't SE just use a SIMPLE mini-usb outlet rather than this absurd unstable plug outlet. Now, I don't feel very confident just thinking about this accessory outlet.

Acessing a data in Sony Ericsson Phones

In Nokia phones you can also use an absolute path so that it
does not matter the SWF's path, for example:
myXML_obj.load(file:///c:/nokia/others/mydata.xml);
How can I do this in Sony Ericsson phones?

Thanks Michael, you just reminded me I needed to update that page!
Having owned a K700, then a K750, I've just got myself a K800, which I can thoroughly recommend. It's a great upgrade from the K750 and K700, especially if you like 'candy-bar' style phones, and the SE user interface.
The 3.2mp camera and 240x320 pixel screen are superb.
Also, as you're in the UK, you can get it free on virtually any contract from all the networks. Check out somewhere like www.e2save.com for details.

Download to sony ericsson phone

I'm downloading songs onto my sony ericsson phone. Some files transfer fine and some come up with 'no useable track found message". The ones that don't work have the main folder but I can't open that folder any further to get to the downloadable track ( which has a picture of a white music note with an orage background)
HELP

That happened to me, too. What I ended up doing was burning those songs that can't expand (don't have a "+") onto a cd. Then instead of selecting "My Music" or "My Computer," selecting "Audio CD." You can then download the files, aren't named. Hope this helps!
