Why can't my 2 iPads find anything apple on bluetooth

I tried to play some scrabble multiplayer with my 2 iPads and so I went on Bluetooth but they couldn't find anything except my mums phone-which is not an iPhone.
I also went to my friends place and tried to find his iPod but nothing only his dads phone which isn't apple. They seem to find everything that isn't apple branded.
Oh, and Bluetooth is on.

"If the app says it supports connecting to another iOS device via Bluetooth this connection would most likely be made within the app itself."
Sure wish I would have thought of that!

HT204370 I rented a movie on my iPad from iTunes why can't I watch it on my Apple TV?

I rented a movie on my iPad from iTunes why can't I watch it on my Apple TV?

At the moment it's not possible to copy films rented on an iPad to another device - from here :
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Why Apple have decided to do that I don't know, but you can try leaving feedback via this page : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

Can you connect your Ipad to a projector using Bluetooth

Can you connect your Ipad to a projector using Bluetooth, if so what projectors, My situation is that I want to connect my Ipad3 wireless to a projector where there is no wifi available so the apple TV and airplay won't work.

No.
If you have an Apple TV, get an Apple Airport Express wireless router which is small enough to fit on your pocket. You can set up a wireless network without having to have internet for your iPad and Apple TV to be connected to.
Or use a wired connection.

Why can't I watch YouTube videos on Apple TV?

Why can't I watch YouTube videos on Apple TV? Problem started yesterday. I'm able to watch via Airplay from my iPhone.

You may want to describe the issue in just a little more detail. "Can't watch" doesn't tell us much.

HT201471 Why can't I just type in my apple serial number and identify which ipad that I have?

Why can't I just type in an ipad serial number and find out what model it is? This used to be a function of the Apple Tech Specs. Why has it been removed? If it is in a different place, where is it?

Have you tried here? This will tell you which model of iPad you have when you enter the serial number.

Why can't I log in to anything using Safari?

It's as if all my online accounts have been FROZEN by Safari; can't log into facebook, can't log OUT of youtube, can't log in to anything else. But if I'm using FireFox, I can log in-or-out of anything and it all works great; But let's face it, Safari is way, way cooler. It all started after I downloaded a facebook "menu bar" application from the Mac App Store. I have deleted all package contents and stopped all processes in the Activity monitor and restarted the comp. and all... now I'm stuck with "frozen" Safari. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Just discovered it! Go in to Safari Preferences. Click on Privacy and it probably has set "Block Cookies" to "Always" (Why I don't know!) which prevents you from logging in!
When I changed that I could Log in!

Why can't I use iPad first gen with iMovie?

Why can't I use iMovie with the first gen iPad?

It does not have a camera.
iMovie iOS is made to edit video recorded on the device.
Some also suggest that the processor is not fast enough.
I doubt it, but those are the best suggestions I have heard.

Why can't Lightroom TRY to find "missing" files?

It's so frustrating--can someone please tell me why Lightroom can't even TRY to find "missing" files? Years and years ago, iView (now Expression Media) did it so it shouldn't be that difficult to offer "missing file suggestions"!

If you move and rename your files from within LR, your outside programs can't find them, unless you export them. This creates quite a mess in the end
What outside programs do you have in mind?
By outside programs I meant Adobe Bridge and CS5. The only filenames that remain unchanged are the raw files. I eventually rename files as part of the workflow. I work with 3 different cameras, all creating different filenames. As LR is limited in what it can do, but not without its merit, I have to use other programs.
Anyway, I don't have a problem - as I had mentioned in my first reply. Synchronising folders does the job for me very well

Why can't Safari 5.1 "find the server"?

For several weeks now, Safari 5.1.10 has frequent amnesia attacks when looking for servers. Just now, for example, it coulnd't find the Apple.com server, but it did a few moments later.
This problem also appears much less often in Chrome and Firefox. I have reverted to Chrome as my go-to browser since it is much better that Safari which is a real pain. Still, however, I vastly prefer Safari if only it could find servers like it used to.
What's gone wrong here?

Go step by step and test.
Power Cycle
Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
Restart the computer.
Start up in Safe Mode.

Why can't I purchase movies from my Apple TV? When searching not all available movies even show up!

I've had my apple tv for a while now, but have never actually purchased anything from the itunes store directly from the device. A friend recommended "Sleepless in Seattle" to me, and since it's not in Netflix or On Demand, I decided to buy it from itunes.
In doing a search in the Movies section of my Apple TV and typing in "Sleepl", I got no results. Bummed, I went onto Amazon to see how much the DVD would cost. On a whim, I opened itunes on my computer and did a search for the movie. To my shock, it is available for purchase on itunes for $9.99!
Once I found this out, I went back to my Apple TV and searched again. The movie still didn't appear to exist. I noticed then that every movie on the apple tv only gave me the option of renting, not buying. I was going to purchase from my computer, but then thought better of it because I wasn't sure it would be made available for me to watch on the apple tv.
Is there something wrong with my system? Why can't I buy movies from the device? I can buy tv shows, so it just seems weird to me that this is limited to the movies!

Ha, ha, you are such a tool!
That profile was written in 2007 and never updated. Unlike you, I don't live on this forum. I have one 5 year old Dell gathering dust, waiting for the trash that has some kids software on it my kids never use.
Currently I own a 27 inch iMac, and a 21 inch iMac used by my wife. I just sold my MacBook Air, which replaced my MacBook Pro of two years ago. I have an AppleTV v2, and unfortunately gave my AppleTV v1 to a friend before I realized they stripped out the movie purchase feature. We also own an iPad, two iPhones, and 4 iPods, two of which are used as digital music storage for our cars.
So yes, all of my factual posts concerning Apple's shocking decision to try to hide the fact they removed significant functionality from AppleTV when they revved it, are just driven by the fact that 4 years ago I used almost no apple products. Apparently I harbor a twisted desire to hurt the company that provides me almost all of my technology of choice today, despite being an early software developer for the Mac, helping start two Macinotosh software companies in the 1980s and 1990s, and working at Apple for 2 years in the early 90s.
The truth is, Apple's products weren't so good 15 years ago so I gradually switched to Windows for professional reasons. About 4 years go I bought an iPhone, and started to wake up to the fact that Apple had done a tremendous job moving the Mac platform to the intel architecture, and was very happy to replace my crappy dells with Apple products.
But that doesn't mean I wear blinders when their product teams and marketing department makes mistakes, or does something deceptive.
