My iPhone 4S will not connect with my new iPad Air through Bluetooth?

My iPhone 4S will not discover my iMac or new iPad Air. It has discovered my radio in my truck, but I don't remember if that was before the iOS 7 update?

What are you trying to do? Use Airdrop?

Close iTunes. On your phone, double tap the Home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar, tap & hold any app until they all start to wiggle & a red minus sign appears. Tap the red minus sign to remove every app shown. Tap Home button when finished. Re-start your Mac, launch iTunes, connect your phone. See if things work now.

My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my phone. I have updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro with iOS 10.8.2. Anyone have any suggestions? It was connecting with no problems prior to updating my two computers.

My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my iPhone. The connection was working perfectly before I updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro to ios 10.8.2. I have had ios6 since I purchased the phone a couple of months ago. It searches for a network and finds them, but when it asks for my password, it will not accept the password. Have never had this happen before.

Iphone:icloud will not sync with my new macbook

I just recently got a MacBook pro and I have had an iPhone for about 2 months and all my contacts from my phone will not sync with my Mac. I have no clue what to do and I have tried everything hooking it up to the computer...turning the contacts thing on and off...and even registering the icloud again off of my phone.
Please Help!

IPhone 5 will not connect to brand new MBA/iTunes. Error message is "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to the device."

Hi!
I've had my iPhone 5 for just over a year now, and I haven't really had any problems since iOS7 was installed. I had a PC, with no connectivity problems between any of my Apple devices. Then FINALLY, I purchased my very first Macbook Air 13". I set it all up, updated all the apps, and made sure it was good to go. My iPhone was really low on battery one day, and I just happened to have my USB for it handy and thought I would just plug it into my computer to charge it. I figured I worry about syncing it later as I hadn't really had time to set it all up with iTunes on the new computer.
MY PHONE WENT CRAZY. It just started vibrating all over the table. Looking at the battery icon, it was flipping between charging and not charging, and occasionally the "do you trust this device" window would pop up on the screen, but it was still going crazy. iTunes opened up and these alerts saying "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to the device." and "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected." All it was doing at this point was using up even more battery. But then the iPhoto app opened by itself on my shiny new Macbook and the vibrating stopped. It was charging and syncing! But not having iPhotos before on a computer weirded me out i hadn't decided exactly what I wanted to do with it, I closed the app. The phone went nuts again. ***. On a different day, I was trying to sync it again, and it worked. But only long enough to back it up on the macbook. W.T.F.
Plugging into any PC is no problem at all. The phone just connects and starts charging.
I've tried just about everything. All of my software is up to date, both on the mac and iphone. The USB cord is fine. I've reset the macbook with it plugged in and not plugged in. I have uninstalled, and reinstalled iTunes with the phone plugged in and not plugged in. I've reset all the contents and settings on my iPhone, as well as did a hard reset with it plugged in and not plugged in. My iPad has no problem connecting and it also has iOS7. It's just so weird though, that it starts connecting/disconnecting interchangeably as soon as I plug it into the computer, even when all my apps are closed. All this is leading me to believe that it must be some sort of issue between the devices' communication to each other. But I'm not sure if it's an iPhone, MacBook, or iTunes issue!
HHHHEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP!!!!!

I had this same problem with my new MBP 15", but only with the USB port on the left side. The USB port on the right side worked fine. Perhaps the ports on the left don't have enough signal energy for the iPhone.
Anyway, try using a different USB port, and if that doesn't work, perhaps you could try a powered USB hub.

My iPhone 4s will not connect with my mac pro

hey, so i have an iphone 4s with the latest update iOS7.1 and a macbok pro which is also up to date with itunes 11.1.5. The entire time ive had this computer and this phone all i had to do was connect the two via USB and my computer recognized my phone as well as itunes and proceeded to sync all my things automattically sometimes it would do it even if the devices werent connected but even if they were close in proximity they would connect, no problem. BUT now it will not do that when i connect it via usb neither one recognized that they are connected my phone will charge but thats about it, every once and a blue moon my phone will recognize the computer and ask if the computer is trusted to which i select "trust" and then it tells me its unable to connect but that barely happens most of the time nothing. Ive tried the typical restarting my computer, restarting itunes, searching for updates but its not just itunes that doesnt recognize my phone its my whole computer it seems, what could have happened to make these two devices unable to connect? how do i fix it?

My iPhone 4S will not connect with my Windows 8 pc, I have tried everything! Can someone helpe me!, My iPhone 4S will not connect with my Windows 8 pc, I have tried everything! Can someone helpe me!

I don't what happen, but when I got my new computer with the Windows 8 it synched my 4S just fine. Now it keeps saying that the "USB device not recognized." And it won't even connect with itunes.

Try the suggestions here > iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
If nothing helped, repair permissions.
Disconnect the iPhone.
On your Mac open Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Then select: Repair Disk Permissions
This process can take a few minutes.
When it's done, restart your Mac and connect the iPhone.
If that doesn't help, reset the PRAM > About NVRAM and PRAM

HT1414 I recently purchased three movies but two of them will not sync with my new ipad. What should I do?

I recently purchased three movies via ITunes on my computer. I bought them to transfer to my new Ipad mini. When I tried to sync them to the Ipad mini 1 worked and the other two did not. How do I fix this without having to reset all the settings?

Check in iTunes on the "Movies" tab while your iPad is syncing and make sure you have the correct sync options checked.
Also, I assume you did in fact purchase (and not rent) the movies. Rented movies have different rules - they can only be on one device at a time.

I had to reset my computer and redownload Itunes. My iphone 5 will not connect to the new itunes i have trusted the computer but it keeps bringing up the same question each time i reconnect to the computer. How can i get my phone to connect to itunes

I had to reset my computer because of a virus i had. When i re installed itunes my music was gone. I went to plug in my Iphone 5 and know my phone does not recognize the computer. I also have hit the trust button on my iphone but have to continue trusting the computer each time it gets plugged in. Still the phone wont connect to itunes at all to view what is on the phone. How do i fix this connection problem?

Hey ebe301,
Sorry to hear about your troubles with your PC. If you are not seeing your iPhone on your computer, then take a look at the link below to walk you through getting that working again. It will have you verify that drivers are installed and working as well as any third party software that may be causing conflicts.

My iPhone 4 won't connect with my new Macbook Air?

Got a Macbook Air yesterday, and I've always connected my iPhone with a Windows computer. I tried to connect the iPhone to the laptop (via USB) and it kept connecting and unconnecting. It would continuously vibrate and the battery would show charging/not charging over and over again.
I could connect my iPhone with my cable onto my PC, so I don't think it's the cable. I also was able to use a USB drive on the laptop, so I don't think it's the USB port either. Do you have any suggestions? All ideas are appreciated. Thanks!

Sound like something is making an intermittent connection. Even though you have used the cable successfully in the past, it might have some new damage or old damage that only causes a problem in certain positions. The cable is also the easiest and cheapest to replace; maybe you could even borrow one long enough to test.
If you bought the MBA new from a brick and mortar Apple Store, take it back for diagnosis.

Iphone 5 will not connect

My new iphone 5 will not connect to my new iMac 27" on bluetooth. The mac sees my phone but that is it. Also my wireless keyboard and mouse are very flaky. This was happening before and after 10.8.2 suplemental update. What else is there to do? Iwold like to transfer some photos I took.
Thanks

Hi tdavey51, welcome to the Apple Support Community.
Bluetooth problems can be related to the batteries you are using on your Keyboard & Mouse, The Apple Wireless Keyboard & Magic Mouse require batteries that give 1.5V constant, some cheaper batteries are not powerful enough or don't provide a constant voltage which causes the bluetooth connection to drop. I'd recommend changing the batteries to see if this clears the issue.
Regarding your iPhone 5, try powering it off and back on again (hold the sleep/wake button until you see slide to power off).
The easiest way to transfer photo's from your iPhone to the computer is either through iTunes into iPhoto if your iPhone is set up to sync to that machine, just connect it using the USB charge cable to the iMac - see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12116 for more.
Alternatively you can e-mail the photo's to yourself or share them using Photo Stream and iCloud - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486 will give you more info on this.

Iphone 3g will NOT connect to itunes

My iphone 3G will not connect with itunes. I see the device as a USB drive e and g and I see the music and files on the phone OK in windows explorer. The phone shows up in the USB devices as MEDIATEC FLASH DRIVE two times. The icons on the phone also are not whats on the box, the bottom icons are dial, filemanager, audioplayer and services for example. I do not have safari or the ipod icons at all. How can I reload the apple OS on this phone??? The phone is a 3G 16 GB. I can not check the os there is no about section.

My phone is not an iPhone. I took it to my Apple store in the mall and its a fake clone. It's close but not made by Apple.

I have just discovered that my Epson printer is not compatible with my new iPad 2. Does anyone know of a way around this as I don't want to have to purchase a new printer just for my iPad? Is Apple working on a solution for this? Am very disappointed

My Epson Artisan 610 printer will not work with my new iPad 2. Not AirPrint compatible. Only certain HP printers work. Are there any solutions to this other than buying an HP printer?

Epson iPrint doesn't allow printing directly from something like Photos, you have to call up iPrint and THEN select Photos, but it does work and very well. For my Epson Artisan 725, I had it print a photo, best quality, on 4x6 Premium Photo Paper, and it DID automatically select the right "tray" with my photo paper.
Thanks for posting this suggestion.
This was SUPPOSE to be replying to the following:

Can't connect my new iPhone 4 with internet via Time Capsule. IP4 recognized TC but will not connect with it. (Password etc. is ok)

Do the usual wireless things.
Change the wireless name to simple name with only alphanumerics and no spaces.
Set to manual and use channels 1, 6, 11 in turn.
For testing take off the security altogether.
The iphone only works on 2.4ghz so only that band is relevant.
