Occasional loss of bluetooth connection with BMW or will not sync sometimes

there have been numerous times that my iphone either would lose it's bluetooth connection or will not sync with my bmw's bluetooth system. it has been necessary to turn off my iphone and turn it back on, then the bluetooth link syncs. does anyone know if this is a glitch in the iphone awaiting an update

I'm having the same problem except, I am using the iPhone and the new Bluetake bluetooth headset. Both the phone by itself and the headset by itself are fabulous however, I continue to lose the sinc between the two. Is anyone else having this problem and can help?

I have macair bought 2009. Bluetooth connect with mouse and keypad not working. It used to work. Batteries are good. Green light flashes on each device, but no connection. Any suggestions to help me here? Thanks.

Dear Community,
I have a macbook air bought new in 2009. Since 2011 I only use it occasionally as I now mainly use my iMac. The mouse and keyboard that came with the macbook air used to work fine with bluetooth connection to the macbookair, but now they don't. The batteries are good. The green light flashes showing it is seeking other bluetooth device to connect to. But they wont connect to my macbookair. What could the problem be? Your help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for that. Yes I checked that already and BT enabled. Yes, external keyboard. But I just moved the computer to different part of room and bingo the devices paired and connected. So problem now solved. Thanks for offering your help.

IPhone 4S with IOS 8 will not sync with iTunes on a Mac.

I can not sync my iPhone 4S with iTunes on my Mac. Had to delete the music I had to make room for the upgrade to IOS 8 and now I can't put any playlists back on my phone. What gives?

Hi zara,
the thing is we have no option in iTunes to allow it, no check box. Perhaps this is because we're not meeting the system requirements as listed by Apple in this KB article.
Wi-Fi Syncing requires:
An iOS device running iOS 5 or later, and a computer running iTunes 10.5 or later on:
OS X Lion or Snow Leopard (version 10.6.8)
or
Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7
So it CAN be done with Snow Leopard apparently, but not Leopard (as carmstr27 indicates he/she's using). I'll give it a try once 10.6.8 v1.1 downloads and installs.

Bluetooth connection with Porsche PCM does not work

When I play a playlist with my android mobile phone ( xperiaz3) on my Porsche PCM Entertainment sytem ( connection via bluetooth) the playlist starts to play but after every 15 seconds the next song is played resp started. With my old mobile phone all playlists played regular but since I connected my new monbile the same problem starts with every playlist. Does anybody know what I can do ?thanks Alex

Thanks for the feedback.
Good to know it's not just me and my phone; however, saying it's the way it was designed to work is a bit charitable.
Can you imagine why they designed it that way?
I think it was just one of those little things that was missed and needs to be pointed out in Feedback so they can correct it with the next firmware update.
I've sent in my Feedback and, unless you can think of some reason that it would benefit users, I ask you to also send feedback or a feature request to change it.

IPod 30GB Problems with iTunes 9; Will not sync iPod and freezes iTunes

Since I have updated to iTunes 9 on windows xp (and more recently iTunes 9.0.1) I have not been able to sync my 5th generation iPod 30gb.
What happens when I connect my ipod is that iTunes will instantly freeze and not allow me to do anything on it, but I am able to open other windows just not iTunes. After about 10 minutes iTunes will unfreeze briefly and claim to be syncing my iPod. Eventually after a further 10 minutes I am greeted with a message saying:
"The ipod 'HARRY'S iPOD" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (-50)."
http://tinypic.com/r/2wchbgy/4
Also when I try to access my iPod through the window's explorer, when I try to enter any files I get the message "Please insert a disc into drive F:" followed by "F:\ Photos is not accesible. The parameter is incorrect"
I have no problems synicng my iPod Nano 4th Generation 16gb.
I've tried to revert to iTunes 8 after uninstalling iTunes 9 but when I do it wont let me open it saying it cannot read the file "Itunes Library.lib"
Does anyone have a clue where the problem is? And better still how to fix it?
Thanks

Do NOT Threadjack. Start your own topic please. Help you get in your topic may help others when searching for like topics (your post could be lost in a unrelated topic).
If you don't know how to post a new thread...
In order to see the post link, you need to drill down to the subtopic level of a discussion area. If you see a list of subtopics, you are not down far enough.
For example, from the main discussion menu, you can choose Classic iPod and you will see the following...
Note that in the Classic discussion there are three sub-topics you can choose and NO post link yet. Now pick any sub-topic, for example, pick "Using iPod Classic" and you will get the following...
Now you have a link to post a new topic.

IPhone with Exchange contacts will not sync to Laptop

A user at our company has an iPhone that syncs with our Exchange server just fine. He just purchased a Mac Book and cannot get his contacts to sync through iTunes.
It will sync any contacts that he has directly on the phone, but not any that are from the Exchange account.
Is there a way to do this?
Thank you in advance.

No way to do this, which is a limitation with an Exchange account accessed via ActiveSync which provides for syncing contacts over the air with the Exchange server, and this is the way that most employers want it. Contacts synced over the air are not stored locally on the iPhone.
If the employer allows for accessing the company Exchange account on a personal computer at home, the user can create/access the company Exchange account with the Mail.app on his Mac, which provides for syncing Exchange contacts and calendar events with the Address Book and iCal.
What is available when syncing Exchange contacts over the air with an Exchange account on an iPhone is syncing personal contacts direct with a supported address book application on a personal computer at home via the iTunes sync process. Business and personal contacts can be viewed combined or separately on the iPhone and are stored and synced separately on the iPhone.

MacBook Pro dropping bluetooth connection with HP Officejet 100

I've recently started developing problems with my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.7.4) maintaining a bluetooth connection with my HP Officejet 100 Mobile Printer.
The problem I'm seeing is that when I send something to the printer, everything starts out okay, but then after about 10 seconds, the bluetooth icon in my status bar indicates that it is no longer connected. The printer pauses for a minute or so and then spits out the half-printed page.
Anybody else seeing this? Any suggestions on how to fix?

I have a similar issue, albeit a different bluetooth printer from yours.
According to a review on CNET's website, the dropping of bluetooth connections seems to have been introduced in the 10.7.4 update and did not exist in the 10.7.3 version of the Mac OS X Lion software.

Windows Media Player 11 Bluetooth connect with N73

Anyone can help me with connecting N73 to Windows Media Player via bluetooth?
I have Nokia PC Suite updated and Bluetooth connects with it.
I can see it on "My Computer" folder as a phone and also as a camera.
In Device Manager, i can also see it as a "Portable Media Device"
But Windows Media Player doesn't seem to detect it when it is connected to PC via bluetooth. Only when connected by cable. But as I want to get rid of the cable, how should I manage this?
Thank you very much.

As you are using Windows 7, you can use this extension from Microsoft - http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/html5-extension-for-wmp-plugin

Bluetooth connection with Mac Book Pro

How do I set up a Bluetooth connection with my Mac Book Pro?

I'm trying to set up the Blue Tooth connection so I can use internet tethering from my iPhone to my MacBook Pro. I have already set up the USB option and that works well on my Rogers network. I've achieved Bluetooth paring between the iPhone and MacBook, but I can't get them to connect.
I'm using Snow Leopard, if that makes any difference.
Any ideas?

I can detect my Bluetooth devices using a BLE scanner and it says they can be connected but - My 5S will not pair with these devices

What devices?
Iphoen supports bluetooth for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone devices, some keyboards, some apps from the app store and interenet tethering if provided by your carrier.
It does not connect to computers, other phones,etc.

DroidX dropping Bluetooth connections with 2010 Honda Accord

I hope soneone has an answer for this one.
My phone drops the bluetooth connection with the HandsFreeLink in my car (2010 Honda Accord w/Nav) after a period of time (20-30mins). The phone call is still active. Only the bluetooth connection is cutoff. The car will not recognize the phone until I either shutoff and restart the car or pull the battery on the phone and reboot it. This does not happen with my wife's motorola flip type phone.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you all for posting your questions and concerns!
I can imagine how frustrating it gets when experiencing the Bluetooth connection problems! Just want to let everyone know our Product and Bluetooth Team are aware of the issues with connectivity since software update, and are working diligently to provide a permanent fix as soon as possible.
We will keep you updated!
Thanks for your patience, and for choosing Verizon Wireless!

I cannot get my iPhone 5S to make a Bluetooth connection with my iMac. I get the Message that the iMac is not supported. Huh?

I cannot seem to get my iPhone 5S to make a bluetooth connection with my iMac (OSX 10.9.1). Phone claims that the iMac is not supported. Any suggestions?

The only connection supported to your iMac is Personal Hotspot to use the iPhone's cell connection to connect your iMac to the Internet. If that's what you're trying to do, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756
Otherwise, as Raymond said, connecting your Mac and iPhone via Bluetooth is not supported.
Regards.

What are you trying to accomplish? File transfer is not supported.
If your Nokia provides personal hotspot, you should be able to make
