My iPhone 5 will not discover any Bluetooth devices I have. I followed the instructions after going to settings etc. and it just continues to search finding nothing. I've made sure the devices are on and ready

Bluetooth not working

If the iPhone 5 was purchased yesterday, you should still be within your free ninety (90) days of complimentary phone support. Was it purchased as a new device, or second-hand?
You have free options, such as the troubleshooting articles on this website:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3018
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3647
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1664
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4562
Another free option is to get fifteen minutes of free troubleshooting support at a local Apple store.
Another free option is the one that you just used, asking a question on this forum.
Apple customers that pay for the Apple Care Protection Plan ($69 for an iPhone 5, to get double the length of hardware warranty, and twenty-one (21) extra months of troubleshooting support over the phone, live with an tech), get priority over customers that have chosen not to use that service.
Use the right solution for your needs. Some people are willing to pay for live tech support, others prefer the free options.

Bought the Iphone 6 2 days ago. My mac pro finds the phone on bluetooth but phone will not discover ANY bluetooth divices. Have hard reset the phone and restarted as well. nothing. Any suggestions or issues. This is the first apple phone I have owned. Am not very happy that Bluetooth would present a problem.

I can't help with the other devices but note that 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

Hello there, DonnaLou.

If you feel you have gone through all of these steps already, the article recoommends:
If the issue persists after restoring your iOS device in iTunes, contact Apple for support and service options.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

My iPad will not discover any blue tooth devices

My iPad will not discover any blue tooth devices. The Bluetooth is turned on but it will only discover a Blackberry phone and not my other iPad or 5s and 4s or a QED receiver.

To connect the devices over bluetooth, just enable Bluetooth in Settings app on both devices.
Bluetooth is activated automatically when Wi-Fi connectivity is not available or does not work properly.
Note: Initial Bluetooth connection takes around 15 seconds to activate.
This is the directions for the app. And all the reviews seem to just go right on through! I have a love hate relationship with my apples!!
Thank you so much by the way for trying to help me!

No matter what i do, my iphone will not recognize any sim card that is put into the phone, and i have tried 3 different networks

Most likely the phone is locked to a carrier that you haven't tried yet.

Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events

Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events or even when i select specific events or albums.

What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

4S iPhone will not discover WiFi network

My phone will not discover a WiFi network

Wow, same problem here after I upgraded to iOS6. My bluetooth and wifi both stopped working completely. I called tech support who told me i wasn't covered and acted like they had never heard of this happening and tried to sell me a $100 dollar warranty to get it fixed. I found these discussion forums and saw how many people were having the same problem and called tech support back to tell them I didn't appreciate the guy acting like he had never heard of this.
Turns out, I am completely covered under Apple care and she set me up with an appointment to get a new phone tomorrow, no charge. Now I see all these people who got replacements and are still having the same problem. Just when I thought I had everything fixed. Guess I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed.

My Iphone will not download some of the songs that I have purchased from Itunes.

My iPhone will not connect to Bluetooth devices it just keeps saying searching!! HELP!

My iPhone 5 will not connect with my Bluetooth devices it did before tonight! Now all it says is searching PLEASE HELP!!

How about telling us EVERYTHING you tried to troubleshoot, so that we don't waste our time suggesting what you've done. Our telepathic skills aren't what they used to be. What makes you think the problem isn't in bodymedia device?

Iphone will not sync any of my music from itunes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when i sync with itunes, the contacts etc sync, but no music. I have tried the restore option and it still will not sync my music. Please help, as this is a major problem.

Ok...I'm new with the iphone but I did notice one thing.
When your iphone is plugged in to your itunes, from the "music" tab...you have two options, 1. Sync all music and playlists. 2. Sync selected playlists.
I noticed that I couldn't select and drag entire cd's to my iphone, I had to create a playlist, drag the music there, then sync the selected playlist from the "music" tab of your iphone menu.
It worked for me...but I haven't read the manual or anything for the iphone. I'm sure there is an easier way to get whole cd's on iphone.
I'm not really sure what to do because I have much more than 7 gigs of music...and if selected sync all songs and playlists my iphone might explode.
Please let me know if there is an easier way than what I came up with.

My iphone will not recognize any usb cables. I have tried 3 official apple ones and 2 different plugs. Ive tried plugging it into my laptop but will not find the phone. it has had problems since i updated my ios. Battery has been replaced.

I have tried 3 official apple ones and 2 different plugs. Ive tried plugging it into my laptop but will not find the phone. it has had problems since i updated my ios. Battery has been replaced. Any suggestions would be fantastic

test if it charges with an ac charger
test if it's detected by another computer
if it's no to both then likely the connector is broken
if it's yes to both thne it's likely your computers itunes install which is the problem

When on my secondary monitor, firefox will not perform any action that opens a new window (View page source, show all bookmarks, etc).

I'm using Mac OSX with Firefox 5, but also had this problem with Firefox 4.
I use an external monitor as my primary monitor and my laptop monitor as a secondary. When the window is on the secondary monitor, I can't open new windows to do things such as view source and manage bookmarks.
Any solutions or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.

Both Firefox and IE have the same problem. The cursor instead of being a finger when pointing to a link is still an arrow. However I can click anywhere on the page and an ad will pop up. I have eliminated all unwanted bars in Firefox, I ran Malwarebytes until it came out clean. I also have AVG which had detected a few items on it's own. But when I get into Firefox I still have exactly the same problem. Now it will not let me download Browser Safeguard. Usually after one click the pointer returns to normal for a few screens. When I try to click to download Browser Safeguard it keeps bringing up different ads or it tries to get me to upgrade Firefox or some other browser helper program which I know are all BS tactics to get me to load their junk again. PLease help I'm an engineer and pretty good with PCs but this one has me beat at least so far.

Compressor will not import any file. Anybody have an idea? It was working fine 2 weeks ago.

Compressor will not let me import any type of file. I can not export a sequence from Final Cut through Compressor either. Anyone else have this problem or have a soulution. It was working 2 weeks ago.

.. but my history window does not fuction.
It makes sense that past history is gone as it is blown out as part of the compressor repair process.
Or, do you mean Compressor does not keep track of current projects added to the que (aka history)?

My iPhone will not play any music not download from iTunes

Not even music ripped from CD's I own. Deleting, re-installing or re-syncing does not help.
When I try to play any song from my library, iTunes fast-forwards at breakneck speed through the songs until it finds one it approves of. (Including the F****** U2 album I neither wanted or downloaded.) I've tried deleting and re-synching, deleting and restoring from back ups in iCloud and from my laptop bot nothing helps.
When I choose 'Get Info' on the tracks that won't play they are described as 'AAC Audio Files', hose that will play are described as 'Purchased AAC Audio Files'.
My wife purchased an iPhone 6 on the same day, she has no such problems with her purchased and ripped tracks.

Well that was a complete waste of time. Thanks for nothing guys.
