Possible to Sych iPhone to Apple Laptop via Bluetooth Like Steve Did?
Several years ago at a Macworld Steve Jobs demoed a Sony/Erickson cell phone that interacted with an Apple laptop. What was pretty cool was his ability to have the cell phone interact with the laptop's address book, show a picture of the caller, and then actually take the call via the laptop.
I don't know with all the MobileMe, synching features and the iPhone's caller picture pop up maybe this is to old of a feature to pursue? However, it would be neat not to have to dig the iPhone out of the briefcase or pocket and take a call via the laptop.
Here is a link to the manual. It will answer many questions.

Is there anyway to connect iphone to other devices via bluetooth.like nokia and other phones
Is there anyway to connect iphone to other devices via bluetooth.like nokia and other phones
No
Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone devices/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps from the app store, and tethering where provided by the carrier.
Other than this, it will not connect to any computer/phone/device. -

HT204387 connect iphone 5s to windows laptop via bluetooth
I am trying to connect my iPhone 5s to my Windows Laptop via Bluetooth. The laptop can see the iPHone but cannot connect. What can I do?
Hello Rick,
Congratulations on your new iPhone 5s! To wirelessly sync your iPhone with iTunes, you need to be connected using a Wi-Fi network. I found an article that has the steps outlined on how to sync your iPhone wirelessly with iTunes:
Wi-Fi syncing
Open iTunes
To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
The iOS device is plugged in to power
iTunes is open on the computer
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
You can find the full article here:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

My wirelessinternet speed seems to be fine, however, trying to play a 1 minute video from my iphone to apple tv via airplay is so slow. Any fixes?
>Any fixes?
Don't use WiFi for streaming video. It is even worse for AirPlay since you are using bandwidth twice as it sends data from the iOS device to the router and then from the router to ATV. Use an wired connection to go to ATV. Even the high end consumer grade WiFi equitment is not great at doing streaming video. -
Problem to connect iPhone 4s (6.0) to a HP Pavilion DV6 laptop via Bluetooth
I'm having problem to connect iPhone 4s (6.0) to a HP Pavilion DV6 laptop via Bluetooth, the plan is to share the Internet (3G) from the iPhone to the laptop.
The driver for serial port is not installing and I don’t have the option to connect to Internet via the iPhone. The problem is isolated to the iPhone as my Samsung mobile installs and connects ok, and is available in the control panel. During install I receive an error that the drivers (I guess for the COM port) cannot be found by WIN7. Drivers and options for headset, sound, SMS etc has installed correctly and is selectable in the control panel for Bluetooth.
For troubleshooting I have reinstalled HP Bluetooth package sp44774.exe, no success. I then goggled and found a another package sp53961.exe, still I have the problem. Windows Update is configured to auto search for updates.
Anyone have an idea what to do next?Amazing how it can be the simplest things that get overlooked. Glad it is working.

STILL not able to pair iPhone and Mac Pro via bluetooth. Really, Apple?
Honestly, I thought Mavericks would usher in a new era and that we'd finally be able to pair our APPLE iphones to our APPLE desktops via bluetooth. I know I can connect via USB but I don't happen to have the cord on me and it just doesn't make any sense that bluetooth is not an option in this day and age.
Apple, with all of the amazing things you are doing, why on earth can I still not connect two of your most widely used devices? Why do your computers "talk" to other-brand bluetooth devices, but not your own iphone?
I have an iphone 4s running iOS 7 and a Mac Pro running Mavericks 10.9.3. All suggestions welcome...anything I'm missing here?Thanks Allan...just wanted to be sure there was nothing new that I was missing. And hoping the Geniuses see comments like these and pay attention to them. It seems so nonsensical and so "un-Apple" to still not support such a basic way of connecting their devices.

We have a new SONY BRAVIA 32" in our RV how can I stream directly from my Iphone or ipad direct to the TV via Bluetooth?No you cannot. The only Blutooth support for the ATV is keyboards.
AirPlay requires the ATV and source (iPhone/iPad/computer) be on the same network, wired or wireless. -

Can we connect IPad to Apple TV via bluetooth? How
Can you be a bit more specific about what you're trying to do.
You must have a black AppleTV 2 or 3. AppleTV 1 doesn't support this.
iPad 1 doesn't support mirroring only Airplay from apps. iPad 2/3 does support mirroring.
Mirroring is enabled by clicking iPad home button wtice scrolling to leftmost screen, enabling Airplay and then the mirroring slider underneath. -
Cannot sync N70 with laptop via Bluetooth
hi
i bought a Safecom Bluetooth dongle [0] from Ebuyer for about 8 quid [1] and i cannot get my N70 to sync with my laptop via Bluetooth using Nokia PC suite. it all works fine with the USB cable.
anybody got any ideas or has got this to work at all?
cheers

[0] http://safecom.cn/code/
[1] http://ln-s.net/+6XNot that specific hardware, but note that although getting Bluetooth syncing is cool, you'll revert back to cable syncs in the end.
Cable syncs are much faster, and much more reliable. When I was syncing by Bluetooth, I often had to reboot to get things working. Best not to bother, really.

I am able to connect my ipad 2 to an iphone 4s personal hotspot via bluetooth or wifi. The problem is that I only have internet access with a bluetooth connection. Both are running ios 6.1.2 and I have tried to reset both to factory settings. Any suggestions would be reatly appreciated.
Please don't shout! Using all uppercase means shouting on the internet. If your keyboard is stuck please say so, otherwise people will think you are being obnoxious.
Now the first question is, when you are saying connecting to personal hotspot, have you always been using the iPhone to connect to the internet? Are you someplace where the only place to connect is available via tethering to the iPhone's celluar network? Or do you have other options?
Maybe you are looking for
