Treo 750 will only intermittently pair with Bluetooth PAN

I'm try to use my Treo 750 as an internet connection for my Macbook running Leopard 10.5.1. When I initially paired the two devices, the connection to the internet was instant. After I clicked "Disconnect from Network" under Mac's bluetooth settings, it wouldn't let me connected again. The "Connect to Network" link was greyed out. I deleted and repaired the devices, and it still wouldn't work. I restarted the computer and it allowed me to connect with no problem. After disconnecting that second time, it won't let me connect again - no matter what I try. Deleting and re-pairing, check and double check the settings - nothing is working! I'm ready to pull may hair out.
I've never had this problem with Tiger. Is this intermittent pairing problem a common issue with Leopard? If so- is there any fix. Are there any utilities that force bluetooth connections to pair, and thus allowing me to "Connect to Network," to connect to my phone's Bluetooth PAN internet connection?

I'm having the exact same issue with 10.5.2. I just got my work issued replacement for a Treo 700p, a Treo 750 with Windows Mobile 6. It is silly to compare WM6 with the iPhone (I have one of those too) but the iPhone lacks an essential feature for sysadmins, laptop tethering. The first time I paired the phone with my MacBook Pro, BAM, I was on. Holy wow, batman, that was slick!
Like yours, my second and subsequent connection attempts were not so joyous. I just got back on by deleting the pairing on both devices, rebooting both devices, and then pairing them again.
The idea of Bluetooth PAN is great, but I'm a bit under-impressed by the WM6 implementation. Why can WM6 not figure out that if I try connecting to the Bluetooth PAN network, that perhaps it would be a good time to automatically initiate the Internet Sharing feature? Instead, we have to turn the WM6 device on, launch the Internet Sharing app, click "connect", and then join that network from the laptop. At least it is smart enough to disable 'Internet Sharing' when I choose 'disconnect' from my laptop.
DUN is much more transparent once set up. Click 'Connect' in the modem menu and it just works.

IPhone6 won't pair with BlueTooth on MBPro

IPhone6, iOS 8.1.1 won't pair with BlueTooth on MBPro nor can I use it as Blue Tooth "hands free" device in my car. Blue Tooth is enabled on the phone and on the MBPro. I try to "connect to network" on the iPhone, using BT preferences on the MBPro, but get the message "can't connect" . On the MBPro, have gone to Sys. Pref., Network, can see the phone but again get the same message when I try to connect.
On the phone under the green button (which enables) the BlueTooth, I see the word "other devices" and a spinning beach ball as the phone tries to find additional devices but no joy.
Have Googled the problem, am reading similar issues - people seem to think it was the new iOS 8.0 and 8.1.1 was supposed to be a fix but it isn't. Any thoughts out there would be much appreciated.

Great - finally got our iPhones6 "discoverable" on our car. Whew!!! Thank you so much.
But, still can't pair our iPHone with my MBPro. Follwed directions on your link but no joy....<sigh>
The MBPro does NOT find the iPhone device. Don't know why......
However, the biggest problem is solved, hopefully.....that being the car/phone connection.
Appreciate the assistance.
thx

Photos in my from my iPhone have same numbering as photos from my dig camera. They all go into iPhoto fine but when I backup to my ext hard drive it will only save one with the name IMG 1002 and I have two separate images both with that name. Help?

Photos in my from my iPhone have the same numbering as photos from my digital camera. They all go into iPhoto fine but when I backup to my ext hard drive it will only save one with the name IMG 1002 and I have two separate images both with that name. How do I get them all to save on my ext hard drive and hope do I prevent this numbering overlap in the future? I'm really hoping I don't have to go through and manually rename every single picture. Thanks.

How are you backing up the photos? The best way is to backup the library itself as that will preserve your organizational efforts as well as all metadata like keywords, titles, faces, places, books, etc.
You can use a backup application that does incremental backups. Thus only the first backup is a full one and subsequent backups just copy those files that are new or changed. I use Synk Pro. The lower cost version, Synk, will do the same job. Other similar apps can be found at MacUpdate.com.
OR: upload your camera to a folder on the Desktop. There you can rename the files to something that is more informative than just the file name. I use the date (international format) along with a brief desc: 2007-1-20-adian1stbday-001.jpg. File renaming apps can also be found at MacUpdate.com. Also you can give the folder an informatve name which will become the Event name when you import the folder of photos into iPhoto.

How to pair with bluetooth

how do I pair with bluetooth on my car

What problems are you having? Did you follow the directions that should be in you car owners manual?

All of a sudden my personal hot spot isn't working. It only comes up with Bluetooth and USB connection options. Why would that be?

Palm treo 750 will not pair with Motorola H500

I followed all directions and the Palm recognized it but refused the passkey (0000) which was in the instructions. Now it won't recognize the device at all. Help!
Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

I have no other Bluetooth devices at all and nothing will pair with it and I followed the directions to the letter as have several other knowledgeable people, one being the AT&T tech in the store. You say the connection is locked to the last device paired. Is it possible that it's locked on the device even though the passkey didn't work? Can it be in some kind of limbo - recognized but not paired and the connection is locked? I don't know all the technology about that - but something happened when I tried to pair it the first time - it recognized it just fine and then rejected the passkey and it won't pair with anything, even a Palm earpiece. Of course, if that were the case, any of the 3 master resets I have performed should have cleared that huh? There are no devices listed and both devices are fully charged. The ebayer who sold me the phone is willing to let me return it so if you have any other ideas, please let me know. Thanks.

My iphone will no longer pair with my blue ant st3 bluetooth

We just upgraded an ipone 3 to an iphone5 and it will not pair with our blueant st3 bluetooth. My iphone4 is paired with my other blueant st3 and works fine. If I go into settings on my iphone4 and selett bluetooth it tells me the device is not compatiable and asks if i want to forget the device, after I reboot the iphone4, all is well. My iphone4 is running V6.0.1 and the iphone5 is running V6.1. Any suggestions?

Mark your above reply as Solved so that others searching for this issue will find the Solution.
Cheers.

My ipod touch 4th gen won't pair with bluetooth audio receiver?

My ipod touch 4th gen won't pair with my aluratech istream universal bluetooth audio receiver. It automatically paired the first time I used it, but now will not pair. I removed the bluetooth receiver from the ipod because it kept saying make sure the receiver device is on and within range. Now it doesn't even detect the bluetooth receiver. Any ideas?

Thank you! We got the bluetooth receiver to use with our car stereo and our motorcycle stereo and were very frustrated when it quit working. Thank you for helping me solve the problem!

For some reason My Imac will not wake up with bluetooth Trackpad or keyboard from being in sleep mode over night.

During the day it wakes up fine. this just happens on over night. I can press the power button on the Imac and screen wakes up but my trackpad or keyboard will not work. After I Restart my Imac by holding down the power button until it shuts down and then pressing to power back on it works right away. this starting happening about a week after Lion upgrade

I've been dealing with the same issue of not waking up from sleep. For a long while, I turned off the option entirely just so I wouldn't get mad at my computer. The difference with my setup, however, is that I use a USB keyboard w/ a USB mouse. I tried most the "solutions" that I've come across on these boards. What upsets me the most is the vast number of similar posts without a clear answer.
Anyways, since I use wired keyboard and mouse, I just turned bluetooth off on this computer and tried once more to wake it from sleep. Surprisingly, it worked. My suggestion, try a wired keyboard and mouse with Bluetooth disabled on the computer.
Edit: I spoke too soon. On the second attempt, it did not wake. For reference, that one single time that it woke up was the only time I've ever had my computer's display wake from sleep mode (like many, the computer wakes, but the display won't).
Here's to hoping that whatever is causing the problem is not around in Lion.

Thunderbolt will not stay paired with vehicle hands free.

Hello all.
I can't keep my thunderbolt paired with my vehicle's hands free feature. It keeps connecting and disconnecting on it's own. I've contacted the chevy dealer to see if there's a software upgrade for my car though I just bought my 2011 chevy cruze. My old env2 paired and worked fine. Hopefully this is just a glitch that gets resolved quickly.
I've seen many other posts on various forums with other people having the same problem with the thunderbolt. I've yet to see a solution which is why I thought I'd post on here.

Its very frustrating to have Bluetooth pairing issues. I checked on the Kia website and the Incredible 2 is not listed as a compatible phone with their vehicles. Click here for their website to check phone compatibility. You may want to check with your dealership to see if they will be updating their vehicles with newer devices.
Thank you

MacBook not pairing with Bluetooth Audio Sink Typhoon

I did not have success trying to get my MacBook to pair with a Typhoon Bluetooth Audio Receiver Set (http://www.typhoon.de/en/art.php?p=1523&pv=3 ).
The Typhoon device claims to be a A2DP-SNK (stereo audio sink) .
My MacBook (10.4.8 up to date, with a Bluetooth-MightyMouse) Bluetooth-Assistant finds it in "Search-all"-Mode and labels it as "BT Receiver", and also finds it if I search for Headsets alone.
But after that, it just sits there and "collects additional information.", which "should take only seconds".
There is no timeout on this, no error message is given either.
Actually, with this Audio-Receiver came an Audio-Transmitter (a USB-BT-Dongle). Connecting this with a MacBook USB-Port does not result in any reaction of the machine.
The BT-Dongle should be able to do most BT-profiles, including GAP,SPP,HSP,HID and A2DP.
The System.log does not show anything, except for a "kernel[0]: (3795: ps)tfp: failed on 0:" happening every 3 seconds continually.
I'm hoping for any ideas... Or should I dump this device?
Did anyone of you get an audio-sink (with Line-Out) working with OSX?
Thanks,
visioneer7
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I've just found out that my Macbook's Bluetooth spec is Bluetooth 2.0+EDR and my keyboard's Bluetooth is 3.0. Would this be of any issue?

Phone shuts down when pairing with bluetooth

I've had a Samsung Renown for a while and just installed a new hands free device in my car. When I pair the phone with the HFD or pair the HFD with the phone, it connects, then the phone reboots and the connection is lost. Any ideas ?

I researched your issue with the phone resetting when pairing to your vehicle, and I have some good news! It appears that there were some problems with pairing via Bluetooth to vehicles using the old software on the device. You can view your software by going under Settings & Tools> Phone Info> SW / HW Version.
The new software is u810.DE01. If you have any version besides u810.DE01, you will need a software update to fix the issue. If your current version of software is u810.CE14, you can most likely update to u810.DE01(the new one) over the air. All you need to do is go under Settings & Tools> Phone Info> Software Update> Check New. You will then be prompted to update the software.
If this over the phone method does not work and you have u810.CE14 as your current software or you have an older version of software than u810.CE14, please take your phone into a Verizon Wireless Store to have it flashed with the new software. In the software update notes to the u810.DE01 software, there are very specific details about it resolving issues with pairing with vehicles. This sounds like an open and shut case of a software update.

IPhone 5 won't pair with Bluetooth or connect to Wi-fi since reset

I reset my iphone 5 just before the latest update and since then it will not work on the bluetooth connection to my car. It goes the whole way through the pairing process but then fails as the passkey is incorrect. I updated the software in the car, I also checked another Iphone 5 and it works so it is not the car. I am now having the same problem with wi-fi, when connecting to a network it says the password is incorrect when it isn't. I have reset all connections, upgraded the software etc but it still wont work. Any ideas?

So let me see if I understand this. You have photos that are very important that you would like to get them back and you have 2-years worth of pictures and you have NEVER backed up the phone?
You can try after letting the device charge for at least 20 minutes to do a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home button together until you see the Apple logo and then release. This should reboot the phone. If that does happen, I suggest you connect to your computer as soon as possible and you import the photos to the computer before you lose them completely. You should import photos from the phone as soon as you can after taking them, just like you would with a digital camera. And, without a backup, you will lose all of your data.

Thunderbolt wont pair with bluetooth devices

have tried to get it to pair with the following devices, with no success:
plantronics voyager pro (brand new)
LG HSB-200 headphones
these devices formerly all worked perfectly with our BB storm, LG 8000 series and droid I
please help!

Same problem here - my Thunderbolt will connect and disconnect repeatedly to my vehicle. I reached out to HTC and received this response:
Thank you for replying to my email concerning the connection between your Thunderbolt VIA Bluetooth to your vehicle. The Bluetooth stack in the Android Operating system for the Thunderbolt is different from the Bluetooth profile that is used for the Motorola [Droid] X. The device is not compatible with the Bluetooth of your BMW. There is not an option to force the device to stay connected if the device will not stay connected.
Unfortunately it looks like I'll have to take back this wonderful phone due to a silly issue like this

8830 Paired with bluetooth on Nissan Rogue

Has anyone experienced problems with the bluetooth and pairing with their car. It was working for the first 2 weeks it was set up and now for some reason I get the bluetooth signal showing but its not recognizing the car bluetooth and vice versa. It shows I have a bluetooth link but it just doesn't work.

I'm having this exact frustrating problem. I have a Nissan Versa. It worked fine until a recent software update to my phone, that's when I first noticed the problem. My workaround has been to exactly that, transfer the call to privacy mode. I got annoyed and called Verizon, they were of no help and deferred me to Blackberry ... Nissan did the same thing. So, Blackberry. any suggestions??
Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
There is only one flaw in your request...these forums are user-to-user, not user-to/from RIM. These forums have nothing to do with your formal support channels. All formal support is provided by the carriers, who have the ability to escalate into RIM if needed. But, here, it's just other users who try to help as best they can.
Good luck!
