Why Cant i pair iphone and ipod via bluetooth

Why Cant i pair iphone and ipod via bluetooth

you cant because you couldn't actually do anything with them even if they were paired. Bluetooth on iphones and ipods is really just for accessories. Its annoying though that you cant transfer files and photos ect. but at least we have iCloud.

  • WHY CANT I RECIEVE PICTURE AND MUSIC VIA BLUETOOTH ON THE IPHONE5

    why cant i receive pictures, music, videos via bluetooth from other devices on the iphone 5

    Then return your phone.  Have you ever actually USED bluetooth file sharing?  It's as slow as molasses.  Do you know how long it would take to transfer one photo taken by your iPhone?  Seemingly forever.  This is why Apple doesn't support this.
    Apple does support BT where it makes sense, and where the slow BT speed doesn't matter:  BT headphones, BT for car handsfree units, etc.

    You can't do that, as such has never been supported on any iPhone.

  • IPhones and iPods ALL drop wireless at same time-but not iPad??

    In my family, we have mutliple Apple devices online at the same time.
    iPhone 3s
    iPhone 4s
    two iPods
    iPad 2
    I also have two work laptops and a personal laptop, all running Windows 7. Plus, I also have an XBOX 360 on a Linksys wireless gaming router (older one...can't run WPA2 security, only WPA)
    They are connected to internet with Netgear WNR2000 wireless router, running WPA security, up to 54 GB/s (I believe on 2.4 GHz).
    HERE'S MY ISSUE:
    About once every day or two, all of my iPhones and iPods will drop off of the wireless network - at the SAME TIME.  However, every other device in my house is running perfectly smoothly on the network.  Including the iPad 2, which never has any network issues.   The "fix" is, going over to the router and cycling it off and on again.  But that is not a real fix. 
    The dropping is kind of random, sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the evening.  But usually after several hours after a recycle.
    I have tried all kinds of router channels,1 -11, I have tried WEP and both kinds of WPA security (AES and TKIP).  I cannot do WPA2 because of my older Linksys access point.
    The problem started happening when I added security to the router.  But I do not want to have the router without security any longer, so removing it is not an option.
    Does anyone have any idea why all of my iPhones and iPods would drop the wireless network at the exact same time, however, my iPad 2 and every other device in my household NEVER drops?
    I have already tried renaming the network, and that doesn't help, and I have tried moving the channel around - no better.  I am trying reserved IP addressing for my i-devices...but am not optimistic. (I read about trying this somewhere...)
    Please help!  If someone could at least help explain what is common between my iPhones and iPods but not common with the iPad it might help me figure this out.

    @wjosten
    I agree that network interference can cause problems. I have surveyed the other close networks and tried multiple channels, same result.
    But if it were bad channels, I don't know how that would explain why only the same set of iDevices would all be thrown off network at same time (and it's always the same ones),  while my other devices all work fine. 
    My router is only single channel, so everything is on the 2.4ghz band.

  • HT1541 Dear iTunes Why wasn't I able to download the twelve days of Christmas gifts? as I downloaded the 12 days of Christmas app or is it now just used as a ploy to sell your iPhone and iPod etc most disappointed customer

    Dear iTunes
    Why wasn't I able to download the twelve days of Christmas gifts? as I downloaded the 12 days of Christmas app or is it now just used as a ploy to sell your iPhone and iPod etc
    most disappointed customer

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    Why weren't you able to download each day's gift ? Whilst the 12 Days app required iOS 7 to be able to install it on a device, each day's gift was available to download direct in the iTunes or App Store apps, or via iTunes on your computer.

  • TS1363 my ipod classic is visible in windows but not in itunes, this happens on 2 different computers where my iphone and ipod touch work fine which leads me to think something is up with the ipod itself and i cant find any threads to help

    my ipod classic is visible in windows but not in itunes, this happens on 2 different computers where my iphone and ipod touch work fine which leads me to think something is up with the ipod itself and i cant find any threads to help.
    any thoughts anyone??

    Perhaps the reason you haven't had any replies is because there is no such thing as an 8GB iPod Classic.
    I suggest that you begin by correctly identifying which iPod you have.

  • Why have I lost radio 4 on my ipad, iphone and ipod. I have tried lots of different british radio apps.

    Why have I lost radio 4 on my ipad, iphone and ipod. I have tried lots of different british radio apps.

    I can't tell you how it happened, but if you want to get them back on your other devices, download the app My Contacts Backup on your 4S and use the app to back up your contacts as a vCard attachment to an email.  Send the email to yourself.  You can open the email on your iPad and tap the attachment to import the contacts to your iPad.  If you want them in iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud on your iPad and turn Contacts to On before importing the contacts.  If your computer is signed into your iCloud account this will also make them appear on your computer.  If not, import the vCard attachment to whatever contact management program you are using on your computer.
