None of Blue tooth devices are being detected by my iPad

My iPad won't detect any bluetooth device. It keeps on looking and looking but will not detecte while the same device will be detected by my iPhone 4 and iPhone3.
I have tried 3 Hands free blue tooth devices but none is being detected. iPad won't even detect the iPhone 4 sitting next to it.

Many headsets use the Hands Free Profile (HFP) which is not supported by the iPad but is supported by the iPhone. On the iPad you can connect to devices that uses the A@DP profile which support stereo headphones and some headsets and speakers, keyboards via the HID profiles and some other devises for gaming. See the following for supported profiles:

I need to know how to access and use the Blue Tooth device that comes with the Thinkpad W520

Forgive me for being a techo illiterate. But I know that this thing supports Blue Tooth. And one "problem" with it is although it has a DVD and sound card, music and movies have very lousy audibility. Is there something I can do about that? I can barely hear anything on a movie unless I plug in head phones to the computer. But that leaves me stuck in my seat. I'd like to get cordless headsets. And I'm ready to purchase the Plantronics BackBeat 903+ Wireless Stereo Headphones - Mic, Rich Audio, Bass-boost, Voice Alerts, OpenMic, 3-way Earpiece. And have heard that it's compatable with a pc that has Bluetooth capabilities. but could someone get back to me with exactly how I access and use the Blue Tooth device?

I was searching for how to setup the 903+ and my W520 and came to this thread.
1. The OP was asking about audio and there are updated audio drivers / tweaks to get it louder / install different drivers.
but if you are going to go BT headset....
2. What I did for the 903+
Uninstalled the currently installed ThinkPad Bluetooth program. ( I forget the exact name, came stock and was out of date).
Required reboot.
Activated the Bluetooth with FN + F5 menu.
Downloaded the updated Bluetooth driver from lenovo (search lenovo driver matrix).
Ran the updated Bluetooth driver install.
Rebooted for good measure.
Double-clicked the Bluetooth Tray icon.
Clicked Add A Device.
Turned off my 903+ and continued to hold down the power to enable pairing mode.
Showed up in devices and added it.
Worked for audio. There are probably additional options for enabling the mic.
Hope that helps whoever might find this thread.

Blue tooth device missing.

The laptop i own is a LENOVO G560 purchased from new york.I currently reside in mumbai,India. When i was about to set up my laptop to my surprise the bluetooth device was not detected..After several calls to the customer care and installing and reinstalling the drivers several times, I was told that there is a hardware issue.After exchanging emails and several calls to customer care again, i was told to visit the service center.
Now this is just the start of my horrifying experience. When i visit the service center , they open up the laptop and i was told that the blue tooth device is missing.And they refuse to order any part and fix it, because this is a case of manufacturing defect as there was no device present in the first place.So i was told to call up the customer care from the service center, as they do not communicate with the customer care themselves.And the customer care refused to help me with it saying it was the technical department and they do not handle such cases.So i was told to write an email asking for a replacement of the laptop.
Now i have written an email, but have got no reply yet. I don't know what i am supposed to do!

Can I use more than one blue-tooth device at the same time on IPhone 4S? Like a wireless headsets and speed and cadence sensor for cycling computer, receive the data and listen music simultaneously

As long as the profiles are different (ex. HID vs AD2P) you will not have any issues. But say if you try to use 2 keyboards at once, it won't work. Or 2 headsets at once. Your scenario seems fine.

USB Devices not being detected

I have a couple of problems i've been struggling with for a while, searching the forums to no avail.
1)
Firefox's UI font sucks.
Here it is compared to Thunar:
EDIT: Fixed. I had anti aliasing Disabled in .font.conf
2)
USB devices aren't autodetected after I start X.
i.e. if i plug my mouse before logging in (shell) and starting x, it works, but if i wait till later, it doesn't.
I don't think usb drives are being detected either, but I can't figure out how to try to mount them either. I would like to have automounting of usb drives and autodetection of usb peripherals.
Thanks

Is there a way to play to 2 blue tooth devices at the same time?

is there a way to play to 2 blue tooth devices at the same time from my ipad?

If you want to have 2 sets of headphones plaing at the same time, just get a headphone splitter. Here's a link to several that will work on your iPad......http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=Ao7XF2KB2RaGRXX1SKOKmICbvZx4?p=headphone+spl itter+ipad&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8&fr=yfp-t-701

Which Bluetooth device specifically? And does it support A2DP?

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!

Which blue tooth device works the best withe the Iphone?

Ok, I have spent a lot of time reading about the blue tooth devices and I am confused. I do have my $100 store credit to spend ( but dont HAVE to use it for that) so I am wondering....what blue tooth device is the best? The Jawbone, Apple, Motorola ( heard they have a new H12 thats great)....so any comments? Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays.

I have the Apple Bluetooth Headset... I gave it a 3-stars out of 5 rating. It is really tiny which makes it easy to carry in your shirt pocket or wherever. But, it doesn't fit in my ear well.. had to pick up an adapter that lets it plug into the ear canal.. much better. Also, it's slow to answer a call and no noise reduction for your voice (background noise goes thru to your phone-partner.)
My sister has a jawbone and really likes it. Many others on this forum have recommended the jawbone as well. It's physically bigger, but apparently sounds really good and kills the background noise that your recipient would normally hear.

T61 - Blue-tooth device disappeared

Hello,
I have a T61 (7659-A96) and the blue-tooth device was available some months ago.
Because I didn't use to connect other devices using BT, I don't know exactly when the device availability was over.
Now, I can't find the device. At BIOS setup is not present the BT on/off setting. BIOS version is LENOVO 7LETB9WW (2.19 ) 06/06/2008.
I don't know if this model has a independent BT card or if it is builtin motherboard.
Thanks in advance.
Expedito
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I've found the solution.
I was expecting to find a Bluetooth on/off setting in the "Network" screen of BIOS setup.
But the Bluetooth was disabled at CONFIG/SECURITY/IO PORTS of BIOS Setup.
After I change to "enable" the Bluetooth is working fine.
Regards.

Photos are being added to my iPad, without choosing any events in iPhoto or having them sync with iCloud

Photos are being added to my iPad, without choosing any events in iPhoto or having them sync with iCloud
I just upgraded to IOS6, and now my ipad is full of pictures I did not choose to sync.
I cannot delete them without deleting them from all sources.
Actually, the message is when I go to hit EDIT, select a picture, and then choose DELETE: "This photo is used in an album. Do you want to delete it everywhere? Delete Everywhere"
Does that mean "Everywhere" on my iPad, or everywhere including whatever place on my computer it found the photos to begin with?
PLEASE HELP
Ps:
I've already done this:
To delete photos from your device
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.

You can still sync the photos and keep the photos that are already on the device. You have to include all of the albums or events in the pictures folder that you sync from. If you are using iPhoto, select that in the Sync Photos from drop down menu and then select all of the albums or events that you want to sync. Make sure to check Selected Albums, events, faces and automatically include (no events). Using that option will allow you to choose exactly which albums and events to sync.
You have to remember that all photos must be included in every sync so you cannot sync photos from iPhoto today and then try to sync photos from another folder tomorrow, or you will erase all of the photos that were synced from iPhoto. You need to maintain one main Photos syncing folder for the photos that you want to transfer to the iPad. You can have subfolders within that one main folder and you can selectively sync those subfolders. You just have to place all of the photos that you want to sync into one main iPad syncing photos folder.
There are WiFi transfer apps that allow you to transfer photos to the iPad without having to sync with iTunes. I use this one. This app (and others like it) will allow you to use multiple computers to transfer photos.
Wireless Transfer App Easily send photos to iPhone/iPad ...

Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud

tl;dr: iPhone works properly with iTunes 11.1 and iPad does not. Can't sync with both iTunes and iCloud to separate, distinct Calendar/Contact/Notes groups.
Explanation:
Ever since iTunes 11 was released (I'm on 11.1 now) I'm unable to sync Contacts, Calendars, and Notes via iTunes because I'm using over the air syncing from iCloud. As late as iTunes 10.7, this was okay, because "On My PC" groups would sync perfectly with iTunes, and iCloud groups would sync perfectly with iCloud.
In fact, this still works, today, but only on my iPhones.
However on the iPad I get the message "Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud." (Well, yeah, I know that. My iCloud contacts should continue to sync via iCloud. I don't want to turn off this behavior.)
The "workaround" used to be sticking to iTunes 10.7, which had correct behavior for both iPad and iPhone. Of course iOS7 nuked that option.
Is anyone aware of another workaround? (Merging my professional Outlook stuff into my iCloud stuff is not a workaround.)

I can place a bounty. $20 USD to your Paypal account for a fix.
