My iPhone 4S Bluetooth will not connect with either my iPad1, MacBook Pro or Automobile BT. Suspect a stack issue in new BT 4.0 (BTLE) release. Has any one discovered fix to this. I have tried this with two separate 4S phones and have same problem..
One further clarification. I am most concerned with connecting with BT in automobile. I can use WiFi to tether to my other devices. I cannot change the car very easily! My iPhone 3G had no connection issues.
I'm new. Same bluetooth problem. Will not pair with my 2010 VW GTI w NAV system, or my MacBook Pro 17" (just discovered the MacB prob.)
When I initially discovered the problem I went to an Apple Store. Genius was excellent but requested that I check with VW. VW people were very helpful. A mechanic had an iphone 4s. He came out to the car ... He could not pair my phone but he could pair his phone ... So, it's the iphone ... Back to the Apple Store ... the genius was really good. He replaced the iphone. Great ! So, back out to the car & it would not pair, still. So ... can't be the phone , right. Back to VW. The Audi manager had an iphone 4S. He paired his phone with my car. He could not pair my phone to my car. He tries my phone in a new 2011 GTI sitting on the lot ... my phone pairs with it just fine. So ... it's my car. So ... make an appointment to get the bluetooth module replaced. They replace the Bluetooth module. My iphone will not pair. They end up pairing 2 different iphone 4S to my car ... but not my iphone 4S. My iphone 4S will also not pair with another 2010 GTI they have in for service. Though the 2 iphone 4S
pair with the second GTI just fine. They even try pairing my iphone with a brand new 2012 GTI in the showroom ... yep ... it paired fine. So ... ????????????????
They are going to update my nav software next (tomorrow), Hopeful ??? not really ... Will be taking my computer to Apple Store next ... maybe if they can discover why it will not pair to my MacBook Pro it will lead to a solution for the GTI ??? I'll get back to you.

IPhone 4s Bluetooth will not connect with my 2009 Mercedes S550
My 2009 Mercedes S550 will recognize my iPhone 4s via Bluetooth and then will connect but then I get a message on my phone that it is incompatible and then the car and phone don't recognize the other. Car says 'phone is off' when it is not. Any ideas on what to do? It has worked for 2 years with a 3GS iPhone and the other operating systems.
I took my phone to the dealership and they were able to get it to pair. They did all the pairing from the phone side. They activated the bluetooth receiver on the car and then went into the bluetooth settings on the phone to pair it. It works fine now. Regarding the ringtone...my wife had a similar problem and it was the ringtone she had selected on her phone that was causing the problem. You might try changing your ringtone to see if you still have the same problem.

Hi There!
I am having the same problem, my brothers samsung picks up every bluetooth device thats remotely close but the 4s just sits there searching while sitting on the same desk as my iPad2, iMac 24" and headset that worked fine on my old 3 g.

There must be a solution..... Thanks in advance -
is there any way to restore factory settings on an Iphone 5s that will not connect to Itunes because the phone is locked with a pass code. Problem is that the screen is completely shattered.
If the screen is completely shattered why bother to try and restore the phone?
Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support -
I have a G drive mini and 2 LaCie hard drives that connect fine using USB. Thunderbolt to fire wire 800 adaptor will not connect to either my iMAC or Mac air or LaCie drives. Help
Have you tried any of these soundcards designed for 2.0?
The 3.0 port is categorically designed to be comoatible with all 2.0 devices. The port itself will adapt to the usage parameters of the device.
But if you really want to downgrade, then simply plug any 2.0 hub into a MBA 3.0 port. The ports on the hub will be 2.0. -

Help! My Canon MG5520 printer is apparently not connected to my late 2013 MacBook Pro!
Help! My Canon MG5520 printer is apparently not connected to my late 2013 MacBook Pro! I have had this printer a few months and everything has been working fine until today. I did I have to turn my wifi router on and off this morning, so I think that might be it. I'm not extremely tech savy, so if anyone could lend a hand, I would appreciate it!! I've tried unplugging it, turning it on and off again, quitting it my from laptop, nothing works. Do I need to reconnect it to the wifi? How do I do this? I turns on fine and doesn't give my any error messages, it'st just my laptop that says it isn't connected. Sorry if this is a stupid question.
Thanks for providing complete information. It seems like you've ruled out faulty docking cable, bad USB port, and software issue on the new Mac. And since the shuffle still works fine on the older Mac, it's not a problem on the shuffle.
Some things to try...
Connect the MacBook to its power adapter, so that it's not running the battery power. If any other USB devices are connected, try connecting the shuffle as the only device, to a direct USB port on the MacBook.
If you can keep it connected for long enough, go to the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes and set it to Enable disk use (and Apply). This will keep the shuffle's disk mounted continuously, instead of iTunes unmounting the shuffle's disk when not syncing.
If you happen to have an old USB 2.0 hub that has its own power supply, connect the shuffle through the hub to see if that make any difference. The new Macs have USB 3.0, so if that's the cause, maybe a USB 2.0 hub in between can act as a "buffer" and make it work. -

IPhone 4 Bluetooth will not pair with Jawbone Icon, Jawbone 2
Just got my iPhone today and am more or less thrilled to have it. The only problem (other than the antenna issue, which the bumper fixes beautifully) is that Bluetooth will not pair with any of my Bluetooth devices. When I turn on Bluetooth on the phone and turn on the headset, iPhone says it's "searching.." and "now discoverable" but it never discovers anything, let alone pair up. The Bluetooth on my MacBook recognized the iPhone and I was able to pair them, but no luck on the Jawbones. Sounds like a JB problem, but I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem and if there's a fix via the iPhone.
On the icon, turn it off and hold button down while sliding the power switch on. This should put it in pairing mode. Then go into your i4's bluetooth menu and give it another go. Also, Jawbone has recently updated the firmware for the Icon so you need to load it as well. I have the icon and a Jabra cruiser and both work/paired fine. You may want to try rebooting phone and retrying as well.

My Iphone 4's bluetooth will not connect.
The problem that I am having is that my bluetooth on my iPhone 4 will not connect. When you visit the bluetooth settings, the area where you would turn it off and on has a loading circle. The button never returns and doesn't allow me to turn my bluetooth on or off. I used the control panel that you can access by swiping up on the screeen; however, whenever you turn that off or on there is no change to the bluetooth. I have completely restored the iPhone a couple times using different settings hoping that it would change the outcome but no luck. I am trying to connect my iPhone 4 to a JLabs bluetooth headset and it has worked well in the past but all of the sudden it seems like my phone no longer has bluetooth. I appreciate any information you all can give me regarding the issue. Thanks and have a great day.
Best Regards,
SeanWhen you restore the device as new, you are essentially reinstalling a fresh new copy of iOS 7 onto your device. This will clear out any potential software issues with the device, so it is important to not restore from a backup in order to isolate your personal files from conflict.
If the bluetooth is still not functioning after a complete factory restore with iTunes on a computer, than your device will be experiencing a hardware issue and will need to be serviced.
If you are within the 1-year warranty or have purchased AppleCare, you will be eligibile for a replacement iPhone 4 for free. If you are not within any form of warranty, then you will be subject to an Out of Warranty repair fee of $149. -
I have two problems with my 2012 13” MacBook Pro.
Gray screen shows at startup
Randomly disconnects from network.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.First, open Terminal in your Utilities folder and paste this into the prompt line:
sudo update_dyld_shared_cache
Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed to the screen. Press RETURN again.
Next, boot the computer into Safe Mode.
Next, do the following:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -
Bluetooth will not connect to a new devicd
I have a Bose stereo system with a blut tooth adapter. It connects to mly iphone via bluetooth but my Ipad with retna display will not connect to it. Help...
Yes they have reason to.
To send a file or photo to or from a phone.
Bluetooth does that on any other phone or device.
No point in bluetooth even being in a phone if it cant be used wherever or with what devices i choose.
May as well unistall it.
Craziest thing i have ever heard " it won't connect becasue it has no reason to" it has a reason to send a photo to another device.
I would not have bought these phones if i know that.
Why isnt it in the specs?
"Phone has bluetooth that will not connect because it has no reason to"
What does it have that does not work becasue it has no reason to? -

just bought Iphone 4s 2 days age. Bluetooth can not connect to sound system in my chevrolet captiva model change 2011 (Thailand) but my Iphone 3gs with iSO 4.2 is still worked well.
I have the same priblem. Got the 2013 Captiva (Thailand) LTZ and the dealer claims APPLE devices are not compatible. This is a Chevy issue - howcome Chevy cannot make their executive target market SUV be compatible with the leading phone used by executives??? This is such a turnoff.
