My iPhone 3GS no longer connects through Bluetooth to my MacBook Air, nor my BMW X3. Is this fixable?

My iPhone 3GS no longer connects through Bluetooth to my MacBook Air nor my BMW X3. I've made no recent adjustments, it's just stopped functioning. Any ideas? Can this be fixed, or is my iPhone on the way out?

Problem solved!! I finally managed to pair the SE HCB-100 car kit speakerphone with the 3GS. I surfed the SE web site and it mentioned resetting the speakerphone. Tried it on 'one color ID' but it didn't work so I did it on all 'color IDs' and left it on reset mode when it 'accidentally' was picked up by my 3GS while searching!!! Found 'headset' and then recognised it as HCB-100. One happy guy for the holidays!!!

My iphone is backing up to icloud but not my macbook air nor my iMac. Any ideas?

My iphone is backing up to icloud but not my macbook air nor my iMac. Any ideas?

I use Time Machine with an external HD. That seems to do what I need. Others also recommend an second EHD with a bootable clone of your boot drive and use a 3rd party app like Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper, Synk Pro, etc. to keep the clone up to date.
In addition to Time Machine I have a hard drive that I keep key files backed up with Synk Pro which does incremental backups, i.e. copying only those new or modified files. For other candidates for the cloning and backup apps to go MacUpdate.com and search for "file backup" and "clone".

IPhone 3GS no longer works with bluetooth since ios 4.3.2 update

Hi all. Since the ios 4.3.2 update my iPhone 3GS no longer works correctly with the bluetooth in my car (2006 Acura TL). I know it's not an issue with the car and the only thing that has changed is the update with the phone. Anybody else having this issue? I have unpaired, tried to re-pair, reset the network settings, reset all of the settings, and did a restore. I'm at a loss with what to do next.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Its becoming a problem of epic proportions...so many people are having the exact same problem...I have a Feb 2010 Toyota Land Cruiser Series 200 and since upgrading to OS 4 my USB function no longer works like it did before the upgrade.
My Apple has become a LEMON!!
Would be nice to hear that Apple recognises there is a problem...buut maybe they are too busy counting all their money to care!!

Hi gofroggy08,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
It's possible that the iTunes software didn't update properly. Try the specific steps below for the iPhone first:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If the issue is not resolved, you may need to uninstall iTunes and all of it's components, and reinstall the latest version as explained in this article:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open

I hope this information helps ....

Iphone 3GS no longer connects to computer or Itunes.

I have a decomissioned Iphone 3GS that I've been using as an Itouch (I don't use the phone features). Up until today it would connect to my computer and Itunes with no problems. When I had to uninstall a bunch of stuff and reinstall the new Itunes (the update is what screwed everything up) since I had a C++ runtime error R6034. Now I finally have Itunes again however my Iphone no longer wants to connect to my computer or Itunes. There is no beep from the USB no syncing, nada. The only thing it does is charge...which is only sort of helpful. I've tried two different cables, restarted my computer, restarted my Iphone. I just want it to connect so I can get my new music. Does anyone have any suggestions. Preferable if I didn't have to restore my Iphone.

IPhone 3Gs no longer connects to my Blue Tooth hands free cars

Within the last week, there appears to be a software update to my iPhone 3Gs. Since that time, my phone can no longer be paired with the hands free blue tooth options in both of my vehicles. The first vehicle is a 2010 Lincoln MKX with Sync and my other vehicle is a 2010 Volvo C30. Have other people experienced this? I have updated the connection between the phone and both vehicles. If I cannot get this fixed it looks like my iPhone is useless as a phone with blue tooth.

Iphone 5 no longer connecting to bluetooth in car?

My Iphone 5 has been connected succesfully via bluetooth to my car for the past 5 months (Ford Fiesta). Yesterday I went to use it and it wont connect, I powered off the phone, turned bluetooth on/off still not working.
I debonded all phones from the car and went to start afresh but that wont work either.
When it is searching for devices it just seems to be stuck? I tried another Iphone 5 in my car and that connected no problems at all.
Anyone have any ideas, it clearly must be the phone but wonder what on earth I have done.

Thanks for that, when I go to delete the pairing in the phone it does not give me the option of deleting a device, it is just 'searching' under devices - like it is stuck?? I am guessing by the Head Unit you mean the car, I have deleted all phones from the car so it is completely empty.
I am truly stumped as I say it has been working perfectly and now its not, its driving me crazy!!

Can no longer connect through Facetime on my MacBook

I can not longer connect to other Facetime users via my MacBook Pro. Has anyone experienced this issue?

Hi PI Gadget,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Take a look at the article below, it provides tips that should help you resolve the FaceTime connection issue.

Troubleshooting FaceTime for Mac
You can make FaceTime calls using the FaceTime app. You can call FaceTime users whose contact information is in Contacts. You can add contacts and edit contact information in either FaceTime or Contacts. To place a video call, you may use a phone number or email address.
If you encounter issues making or receiving FaceTime calls, try the following:

Verify that the Date, Time, and Time Zone are set correctly:
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences > Date & Time > Date & Time.
Enable "Set Automatically".
Click the Time Zone tab and confirm the closest city is correct.
Verify that both parties are connected to an active broadband Internet connection.
See Mac OS X: Troubleshooting a cable modem, DSL, or LAN Internet connection.
Consult Using FaceTime behind a firewall for necessary ports to open in firewalls, security software and routers.

IPhone 4s won't connect to Wifi or my Macbook Air

I have an iPhone 4s (iOS 7.1 software, phone says it is up-to-date) and it is not recognized by my Macbook Air (OS X version 10.9.2, computer says it is also up-to-date). I switched computers in January, from a Macbook Pro to a Macbook Air, but did not transfer any iTunes information onto the Macbook Air from the Pro. I've avoided connecting my phone to iTunes on the Air because I would lose my music on my phone (which I have backed up on the Pro). I don't know if that has anything to do with the problem, figured it was worth mentioning. My iPhone also stopped connecting to Wifi (it is greyed out), causing me to use a lot of data. How do I fix these two issues?

at this very moment, all of apple's servers are a little over loaded, so i wouldn't be surorised if you have trouble baking up to iclou right now. with that being said, go a head and try restting your network settings under Settings > General >Reset > Reset Network Settings

Iphone 5C no longer syncs calendar to iPad and MacBook Air

I am having syncing problems with my iPhone 5C to my iPad and MacBook Air. I installed the latest updates on all three devices yesterday. Now my iPhone will only sync to my other devices when I add or delete an event on my iPhone. It does not sync when events are added or deleted on iPad or MacBook Air. When I add or delete an event on the iPhone then all previous events syncs on my other devices to my iPhone. How do I fix this?

Yes. I have done everything I can find on Internet. All devices are det the
same with iCloud on, all calendars, push is on.

My iPhone 3GS no longer connects to home network but connects to others

I recently moved my router into another room and when I did, I messed it up big time. I fixed it and now the internet does work, BUT my iphone will not connect wirelessly to it. The network shows up on the phone, asks for a passcode and I input the pass and it it's right. It doesn't say it's wrong but it doesn't connect. This is making me mad because I can't be using my carrier's network, 200 MB can go quick when you download music or websites all the time. I'm almost over now, and I can't use my phone while home for internet until our next billing cycle.
SUM UP: Phone won't connect to wireless router anymore.

Problem solved!! I finally managed to pair the SE HCB-100 car kit speakerphone with the 3GS. I surfed the SE web site and it mentioned resetting the speakerphone.

IPhone not connecting through Bluetooth on iMac 21.5 inch with Nvidia 750 M

On my iMac 21.5 with Nvidia 750 M, both of my iPhones (iPhone 5s and iPhone 6) won't connect through bluetooth. I've tried disconnecting my wireless keyboard and mouse. The same connection error would pop-up. *By the way, you can talk in programmer's terms to me.*

An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458

My iPhone 5 will no longer connect via bluetooth to Fitbit Flex or wireless headset

My iPhone 5 will no longer connect via bluetooth to my Fitbit Flex aftering updating to ios 7. Apple phone support had me completely erase and set my phone up again as new to restart bluetooth pairing, then restore again through iCloud. Worked last night but same problem today. It also will no longer connect to my wireless headset in my car. Of course I'm now 5 days over my 1 year warranty as well. Any ideas?

Delete the pairing from both devices then pair them again.

Iphone (5c) no longer connects iTunes to bluetooth since recent Apple iphone update

iphone (5c) no longer connects iTunes through bluetooth since latest update (8.1.2)

Hi Jill4547,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're not able to sync your iPhone to iTunes wirelessly, or Bluetooth connections are not working as expected.
The iPhone syncs wirelessly to iTunes using a Wi-Fi connection. If you haven't been able to sync wirelessly since updating to iOS 8.1.2, you can use the steps in this article to check your sync settings in iTunes:
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch with iTunes using Wi-Fi - Apple Support
You can also use this article to troubleshoot the Wi-Fi connection on your iPhone:

For help with troubleshooting Bluetooth connections, see the tips in this article:

All the best,
