My iphone 4 can't find my Dell laptop by bluetooth

My phone was updated iOS 4.2, bluetooth of phone and laptop are ON, internet tethering is ON but it is still searching devices (my Dell laptop) and can't find my laptop How can to do and pair the phone with laptop? Thanks

Your first post said that you are using it to tether?
Your second post says something about file transfer, synching, etc?
As for your second post, you can not synch to itunes via bluetooth, you will need to connect to itunes via USB cable. YOu can only connect to bluetooth for tethering but not for synching to itunes.

  • The Bluetooth low energy protocol is not backward compatible with classic Bluetooth protocol. My iPhone 4s can not find my sonny in-dash player. However my iPhone 3GS does it. Very disappointed with this. Any idea how it can be fixed???

    Hello,
    You are correct, Blue tooth low engergy, BTLE.(only) devices are not backward compatible with Classic bluetooth and cannot connect.
    However the Apple 4S and above have Bluetooth 4.0 support.. Hardware wise it has bothClassic Bluetooth, like the 3GS, as well as Bluetooth Low Energy.  There is no good reason why your 4s cannot communicate to your Sony in-dash player using the Classic bluetooth that resides in the 4S.
    I know that this does not answer the why it does not work, but it should work. Do you have to somehow re-pair the new phone up to the player?  Not  knowing the model of the Sony it is hard to investigate.
    And I hate to ask but are you sure that the Bluetooth radio is on in the phone?

  • I accidently deleted my pre-installed safari program on my iphone and can't find it anywhere. I have tried to search spots to download it again, but not sure which is the right download as only see for mac users etc.  Need help to get safari back Iphone 4

    Hi,
    I have accidently deleted safari from my iphone and can't find it to put it back. I did it ages ago as I didn't know what it was and I was trying to create extra space!   Now when I click on a link say in an email, it doesn't come up with a browser.  I have looked at the apple site but can only see a download for mac users.  Not sure if this is the case because it is preinstalled on the iphone.
    Help needed please!

  • HT4061 i lost my iphone how can i find it through find my iphone

    i lost my iphone how can i find it through find my iphone

    Well, Firstly, It Is Only Possible to find it using 'Find my iPhone' If location services are turned on on the device.
    you can track it using a computer or any iDevice.
    if you have a computer, login to www.icloud.com using yor iCloid credentials and click on Find My iPhone. You can track the device, provided location services are turned on and it is connected to the internet.
    if you have any iDevice, login to the 'Find My iPhone' App[Download it from app store for free if it isnt there already] and do the same.
    All the best

    Here, let me explain the way you use the word "crap" in a sentence like this, especially when I'm asking for help from a total stranger such as yourself. It's rude, obviously I know now not to do something like download something like that to my computer. It's not the difficult to figure out, and obviously I'm suffering the consequences for it now. So are you planning on helping me? Or should I not reply to your next reply if it has the word "crap" in it? I'm sure this whole discussion board was created to be used in a professional way, which is how I would like to keep my responses.

    There is an app I want to purchase for my iphone , but can't find it on the app store from my MacBook Pro.  I have credit on the Mac Book, but can't see it from iphone.

    Are you checking from within the Apps section of iTunes on your computer? Is there a reason you can't download it directly to the iPhone?

    lost my iphone and can't find photos and videos from camera roll on my computer. where are they?
    thanks

    Where did you put them?
    These are not part of the sync process at all, as the manual tells you.  You should be importing them to your comptuer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

  • IPhone 4 can't find wifi - have to reboot

    Hi, all.  I've been having intermittent problems for the last month at least (maybe two months) where for no apparent reason, my iPhone 4 can't find any wifi networks.  I've been updating my phone as soon my Macbook Air tells me a new iOS version has come out, and I'm currently running 5.0.1  I have found that 100% of the time, if I reboot the phone, it can find wifi immediately upon restart.  Sometimes I'll go a week or two without the problem; other times it recurs within four days.
    Any ideas for solving this issue would be greatly appreciated!
    Sandy

    Unfortunately, I had to reboot the phone last night, so resetting the network settings did not solve my problem.
    Still looking for a solution.

  • I lost my iphone, how can i find it?

    I lost my iphone , how can i find it ?
    I didn`t register it in me.com

    Hi alifromlos angeles,
    Unfortunatly there will be no easy way to locate your iPhone.
    Maybe you could contact your phone provider and they may be able to help you locate it.
    Try sending an SMS to it saying something like "If found please call..."
    I hope you will find it.
    Regards,
    Tim

    You have to have enabled Find My iPhone on your phone before it was lost in order for it to be located.  If you did, you could play a loud two minute sound on it even if it was on slient, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f19b5.
