Since reconnecting bluetooth on my 3G after accidently dropping (the ap not the phone) I have successfully reconnected only to find the phone continuously searching for devices. To stop excessive draining of the battery I turn bluetooth off.
After successfully reconnecting my 3G iPhone to bluetooth (I accidently dropped bluetooth) the phone contantly searches for devices. Everything works fine now but it appears the battery is draining more rappidly because the phone is constantly searching in the background. I turn bluetooth off when I exit the but it drives me nutty. Any suggestions?
Is it possible to find out what serial or UDID info is stored on iCloud being used by the FindMyIphone site? The FMI website doesn't show anything but the name and the device image (which is a generic iPhone image, and definitely not the 5S )
Unfortunately not.

I'm using 3G3 16gb and just upgraded to 4.3.3. Tried activating bluetooth to use Personal Hotspot for my laptop. But the iphone keep searching for devices thou my laptop can detect the phone. Does anyone know how to solve this?
Hi NWL1,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

I want to pair my iPhone 5s with the Mini Boombox I was using with my iPhone 3Gs.
Once the iPhone Bluetooth setting has been switched on the 5s just continually searches for devices and finds nothing - although the Boombox is beside it on my table (yes, and switched on).Hello Ken,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your new Bluetooth Mini Boombox. I am sure you are eager to use your new speaker.
I recommend reviewing the following article for steps to troubleshoot the issue you described:

My search engines do not work. I can access all my bookmarked items but I cannot perform any new searches. This problem has been happening since this morning. I followed all the troubleshooting steps that I could find and nothing has worked.
Just to make sure, did you check the ring/silent button on the side of the phone? If it is set to "mute" you can still hear your selected ringtone in settings/sound, for example.

New imac, emails imported from Windows. Emails to delete goiing back to 2008 but no matter what I do to delete them, they are still there. How do I get rid of the ones that are no longer wanted.
Assuming you are using Mail, delete them in mail and then empty the Mail's trash. Also check Mail - Preference - Accounts - Mailbox Behaviors - Trash setting

I have a 3GS. Am trying to sync a plantronics explorer 232 Bluetooth headset and can't figure it out. I have Bluetooth turned on but it searches for devices and the headset never shows up. Anyone know exactly how to do this? My tech skills are lacking
I have the same blueparrott headset headset with the directions. Actually reading them just fixed my iphone pairing issue.
Here they are in case u still need them along with what I needed to do to get mine to work with iphone 4
Pair Headset with Phone
Turn off headset off
Hold down headset's MFB (large top button) until red & blue lights flash and you hear 2 rising tones, followed by 4 more tones. Must wait for all before you release the MFB button!! (I had my hubby hold the MFB while I waited for the tones since both come from the headset
Release the MFB and follow your phone's instructions to place it in 'bluetooth' discoverable mode. With the iphone4, go to "General" and then "Bluetooth" and turn indicator to "ON".
This is where my issue occurred as the phone could not find the bluetooth, although it worked with my LG phone. So after trying it several times thinking I was nuts and that the issue was with the iphone, I looked further in the blueparrot's directions and found this step that fixed the issue.
Reset Paired Devices List
On the bluetooth, press and hold down both the volume up & volume down buttons for 5-6 seconds. A double beep will be heard and the list will be reset. Pairing info for devices previously paired will be lost.
The bluetooth directions provide this as step 4 but that did not work for my phone (see below)
4. Once the phone discovers the headset, select "pair" and enter "0000" code and that when pairing is complete the blue light on the headset will stop flashing and phone will prompt you to 'connect'.
This is what I had to do after resetting the device list on my bluetooth
4. My iphone instanting discovered the headset and displayed it under 'Devices" but showed a message that it was 'not connected'. Once I selected the device on the iphone by pressing on it then it changed to "connected".
Even when I turn the bluetooth on and off the device remains on the list and alll I do is select it to connect and disconnect after I turn on my blueparrott bluetooth
I hope this helps others! -

I am trying to pair my phone to my 2011 Toyota kluger KX-R. I have turned bluetooth on my phone but it keeps searching for devices and can not find any, including my computer.
No worries. Often after iTunes updates you have to reconnect your device in order for iTunes to see it. Happens to me all the time!

Safari and firefox 'cannot find the server' for every other page that i navigate to, unless I turn Wifi off and on. Once i reconnect to the network, the page loads, but after loading a few more pages, the same thing happens all over again.
This happens each and every time, on different Wifi networks, in different locations. On the other hand, I don't ever encounter this problem when I tether my laptop to my mobile phone's 3g/2g network using Personal Hotspot. How do I fix this?Try this DNS server ...
Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
Click + and type:
208.67.222.222
Click + again and do the same.
208.67.220.220
Click OK.
Quit and relaunch both your browsers to test.
If that doesn't help, try here > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

My phone is lost. When I use "find my phone", it says that my phone is "offline". It has a charged battery and I hadn't turned it off. When I call my number it immediately goes to the voice mail. Does that mean someone has found it and turned it off? What should I be doing. I have used icloud to lock and send a message to my phone but if it is offline does that do anything? HELP!!
Welcome to the Apple Community.
It may be that someone has turned it off or it may be that it has been lost in an area where there is no reception. The best thing that you can do, is contact your provider and let them know that you have lost your phone, and change your iCloud password at My Apple ID -
HT201401 My bluetooth is no longer working in the car - it keeps 'searching' for devices
My bluetooth is no longer working in the car - it keeps 'searching' for devices. Anyone ever had this issue?
ThanksCan you connect from your phone to another BT device, not the car? If you haven't ,I'd try a reset of the phone by holding the home and power button down. Next step would be to talk to your dealership and see if they have any ideas. Sometimes software can either get updated on iOS or on the vehicle and it can cause problems. Every dealership seems to have a go-to person that handles issues like this. Getting to know him or her well and getting their direct phone number will pay big dividends. A device restore might be necessary, but if it were me I'd talk to the dealership first.

Bluetooth continuing to search for devices
I have a new Jawbone headset which has paired fine with my iPhone 3G. However, the "Devices" status is continuing to spin in search of other bluetooth devices and won't stop. I'm concerned this will kill my battery. My assumption was that after pairing with the headset, it would stop searching.
Any ideas on how to get it to stop searching for devices?
Thanks.It searches for discoverable devices +while you are in Settings > General > Bluetooth+, and for a brief period of time after that. It does not continue after that and will not drain your battery. Of course, if you go to Settings > General > Bluetooth to check, it will start searching - sort of like checking to see if the fridge light is off by opening the door.

I have an iphone 4 with latest software update. When entering the settings for bluetooth it continues to search for devices. It does not highlight any device, just continuous searching
Hello:
What are you trying to do? If you do not wish to connect to other BT devices, turn BT off.

My wife lost her iPhone. I have it signed up with find my phone but it appears that it isn't online. Maybe that is because I have cellular data turned off. What can I do?
What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen
If your Mac, iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should do in advance - before you lose it or it's stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

Bluetooth continuing to search for devices in jeep hand free
I paired the iphone 3g to my jeep "u conect" hands free, it paired ok but every time I go out of the car the iphone will never be available, tried a different phone and my car system work great, how can i fix the Bluetooth continuing to search for devices and will not conect to the car system
What year is your Jeep? There are a couple of other threads here regarding chyrsler (and other ) vehicles not connecting with phones that have software version 2.0 or higher.
As best as I can tell, it affects 2007 and later chrysler vehicles with Uconnect but not the MyGig system (supposedly there is a patch that you can use to update the MyGig software that may or may not work).
I spoke with an apple tech support person and he couldn't help. They didn't have anything in his help files to fix the problem and he actually turned to the message boards to get more info.
That being said, like someone else said, take the time to fill out some feed back.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
If you look at the rest of the bluetooth forum...there are tons of blue tooth issues out there. Might speculate that the only way to make the chrysler issue a priority is to make yourself heard. I personally don't know if there is a better method than the above feedback tool. But, if there is, I'd like to know.
If you are 2006 and earlier...according to others on here, you should be able to get it to work.
