Trying to connect iPad and iPhone via Bluetooth

Whenever I try to connect my iPad with my iPhone via Bluetooth a window shows up saying "Make sure iPhone is turned on an in range" ,even though I switched off and on Bluetooth many times but it didn't work

In general this is not a feature of wither iPad or iPhone.
The excepts are internet tethering, if provided by the carrier, and some apps allow connection from within the app.

  • How to use keynote remote w/ iPad and iPhone using Bluetooth

    Using IOS 7.0.6 on iPad and iPhone can't get a connection via Bluetooth to use iPhone as a remote to control keynote on iPad. Bluetooth is on, remote is enabled in keynote on both devices but that is as far as I get. I'm looking for some instructions for what seems to be a simple process. Searched all over and only find outdated instructions or instructions that appear incomplete. I don't think my Wi-Fi connection at work will allow this type of connection that's why I want to use Bluetooth. I can't get the 2 devices to do this on my home Wi-Fi either. Using the latest  update to keynote. iPad is work issued and not sure if it is iPad or iPad 2 but I don't think this would make a difference. Any help would be much appreciated. Very frustrated at this point.
    Thank you,
    Carl

    Hey, I had some issues but I finally figured it out thanks to this article: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-use-keynote-to-control-keynote-on-ios-mac/
    Basically, you find the remote (let's say your iPhone) while your iPad has a presentation active then go to Presentation Tools on said iPad and link your iPhone. Your iPhone has to be searching for a device after you tap "Add Device."

  • Ipad and iPhone hotspot/Bluetooth no connection

    I'm trying to use iPad Air 2 as hotspot for my iPhone 4s over bluetooth, but I cannot pair the two devices, because them are unable to se each other, in Bluetooth connection.
    iPhone has iOS 7.1.2, iPad has iOS 8.1.3.
    tnx

    Hey Blunotte82,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the two iOS devices are not able to be found. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

    Bluetooth disconnects, intermittent connectivity, or unable to find
    Move your iOS device closer to the Bluetooth accessory.
    Position your iOS device and Bluetooth accessory in direct line of sight of each other. For example, move the Bluetooth accessory and iOS device to the same side of your body.
    Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if performance improves.
    Check for sources of potential interference and move both the iOS device and the Bluetooth accessory away from other electronic devices.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN, and APN settings.

  • Strange Mobile device tried to connect to my iMac via Bluetooth! Should I be concerned?

    I woke up this morning with a pop-up message saying that a mobile device tried to pair with my system but was rejected most likely from an incorrect password. I've always had "bluetooth" enabled. Never used it though, I have a wired mouse and keyboard. I never thought about possible threats occuring from this until now. I originally had all default settings turned on for bluetooth but no sharing enabled. I clicked off "discoverable" and turned bluetooth off altogether. My concern is that I am seeing a "T-Mobile myTouch Q" Smartphone in the list. I don't own this type of phone. I've never had a t-mobile phone or know anybody who does. I tried to "browse" the device but I get an error. I am unable to remove the device from my list.
    It doesn't appear to be connect or ever have been connected to my knownledge but I would like it taken off.
    Is there any way somebody can hack your iMac via a mobile device? I went on a researching rampage this morning but am unsure of what to think at this point. If bluetooth only operates up to 30 feet of range, who could possibly have wanted to connect at 4-5 am in the morning? Also, if they were paired, exacly what information can they gain from being paired via bluetooth to a mobile device?
    Should I be concerned about this? I have Mac firewall enabled in stealth mode. Have Sophos installed and up to date and running. All sharing is turned off. What else can I do and how can I remove this device from the list so I can use bluetooth in the near future without any worries?
    Thanks for any help!

    Bluetooth is very limited, in range (20 to 40ft on a good day)....
    The Bluetooth on my wife's iPad, before I turned it off, put out a signal much further than that. Out of curiosity, I took it down to the lobby of our building, easily a hundred feet or more--just guessing--through one floor and a number of walls. It was still getting a healthy signal there. Maybe the Mac's Bluetooth isn't so powerful. Probably depends on the device being used. I know if I move my mouse not far away from the Mac the connection is quickly lost.
    That is an extraordinary connection distance for BlueTooth, did you happen to investigate the data rate at that range?
    This really only applies to older Blutooth devices (so should exclude an iPad)
    Many USB Bluetooth adapters or "dongles" are available, some of which also include an IrDA adapter. Older (pre-2003) Bluetooth dongles, however, have limited capabilities, offering only the Bluetooth Enumerator and a less-powerful Bluetooth Radio incarnation.[citation needed] Such devices can link computers with Bluetooth with a distance of 100 meters, but they do not offer as many services as modern adapters do.[clarification needed]
    The spec for Bluetooth is a bit vague but here is some general info.
    But wireless is a bit like playing Roulette

  • Trouble Connecting iPad and iPhone to Exchange Server 2010

    Exchange Server 2010.
    I have found some online instructions for connecting iPhones and iPods (or iPads) to Exchange Server 2010 using activesync.  I enter all the information as I understand it (the same info used to successful connect Droids), and I do not get an error
    until I try to sync (retrieve mail) the first time.  Then it says, "The connection to the server failed."
    In the instructions I follwed it has this statement, "Before we get started, please be sure your administartor has purchased you an Activesync license and assigned to
    your email address."  What the heck does this mean and how can I accomplish it?  I know activesync is working.  So why do I need a "license"? 
    Any help will be appreciated.

  • WLan connected, iPad and iPhone internet ok, iMac not working after trying everything (manual ip etc...)

    I am quite new with a mac computer. But i think i nearly tried everything, i have no idea what else could help...
    My iPhone and iPad are working perfektly in the wlan. My iMac works very rarely. Yes it worked once by manual ip, but later it did not work again.
    Wlan always works (sometmes it takes a few seconds until thesymbol is fat, mostly it starts with "no internet")
    I tried so many things...
    - manual ip found out by my windows pc
    - $ in front of the password
    - the apple faqs on the websites
    Very strange, but i hope someone solved an comparable problem already ;)
    Thx!

    I had a surfstick before, does that influence the whole thing?
    And another thing: in other wlans the iMac worked perfectly... Without any manual settings etc.
    Anyone an idea?

  • I use a pc. i keep getting a server error messge trying to upload photos to my iPad and iPhone via iCloud. the error states can't update photostream, server error.

    uploading worked in the beginning, but in the last few days it has not. how should i proceed.

    Go into Settings, iCloud on your iPad & iPhone. Turn streaming on there. I did that when I first set up my phone & iPad & have not had any problems. It will only stream over new photos so take one on your phone & see what happens. I hope that works for you.

  • Can I sync my iPad and iPhone via iCloud

    Sorry if this has been answered before, but I searched and could not find a solution.
    I, obviously, did not set up iOS5 correctly because I now have two sets of Contacts on my iPhone.  One is called Contacts from my Mac and the other is called from iCloud.  I guess I was confused by being able to sync over Wi-Fi and also being able to sync with iCloud (maybe).  Below is what I'd like to be able to do.  Can I?  If so, how?
    My Mac runs Snow Leopard. ( I rely on too many Apps that run Rosetta to upgrade now.)  My iPhone and iPad have iOS5.  Can I sync my iPhone to my Mac using Wi-Fi?  It seems the answer is yes as long as the iPhone is plugged into a power source and both devices are on the same network.  Does the sync'ing occur in the background or do progress bars show up on the Mac and the iPhone?  Can I use a PowerMat as the power source or must it be receiving power through the doc connector?
    It appears that while I can sync the iPhone to my Mac, I can still back up the iPhone to iCloud.  Is that correct?
    If I do not plan to enter new data on my iPad, can the iPad be set up to receive contact and calendar updates from iCloud. i.e. iPad either pulls updates from iCloud or sync's with the iPhone data that's backed up in iCloud.
    I think what I'm trying to do is have all 3 devices current without installing Lion in my Mac. I recognize that new data on the iPad will not sync to my iPhone, but that's OK.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

    Are iPhone and iPad both use the same Apple ID for iCloud?
    Are they both on Wi-Fi?

  • ITunes crashes when trying to sync iPad and iPhone to Macbook Air

    I would like to back up iPhone and iPad.  Every time I connect either device to my Macbook Air, iTunes crashes and I have to force quit.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Pictures don't upload onto my macbook air from ipad and iphone via icloud

    The pictures I take on Iphone and Ipad often just don't transfer to my macbook air via Icloud. Some do, some don't, its very
    inconsistent - some just never upload.
    Any ideas? I think that all the settings on all machines are correct..! :-)
    thanks,

    Hi Russell,
    I'm assuming you have iCloud activated on your Mac. Try signing out & then logging back in on your Mac. Are you using Photostream within iPhoto or Aperture...or both?
