I first tried to connect to it to my printer which it would not do, however i did find that my printer didn't have the AirPrint support, so I fully understand,
However I tried connecting my Mobile phone, fathers mobile phone and my iPod through bluetooth and it just does not work.
You would think Apple to Apple would connect easy, I just wonder why on earth Apple has bluetooth to begin with if it wont connect.
Bluetooth does not support IOS device to IOS device connectivity. It's intended to connect IOS devices to such things as wireless headphones, external keyboards and Apple TV, and probably a few more things that I can't think of right now.

Why wont my iphone play all my music

Why wont my Iphone play all of the music i have saved on it from itunes

If you are using files that play on your iPhone when synced with iTunes these files should play via your website. The iPhone can play these formats.
H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
H.264 video, up to 768 Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file format
The most certain way of producing files in the correct format is to use either iMovie08 or Quicktime Pro and export in iPhone format.

Why wont my ipad connect to wifi ???

why wont my ipad connect to wifi ???

You just aren't suppling us with enough information. Are you trying to connect to the WiFi at home or at work? Will other WiFi devices connect successfully with that WiFi access-point? Is your WiFi access point showing up on the list of available access points when you're trying to connect to it from the iPad, or are you being forced to manually enter it in? We really need more info about your specific situation before we can help.
Thanks,
L.

Why wont my iPad connect to the closest/strongest wifi?

Why wont my iPad connect to the closest/strongest wifi at home? It alway defaults to the one upstairs even when I am right next to our extender in the kitchen?

Try #5.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Why wont my ipad connect with itunes

why wont my ipad connect to itunes?

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
or
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
- Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem

Why can't I play movies on my iPad since updating to ios7

I have recently updated my ipad mini, to ios7 and now movies that played before updating wont play, although they show in movie menu, when play is clicked, they just open and then close back to menu ?

First, try resetting your phone: Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

Why can't I play .mov files on my IPAD?

The file plays ok on IMAC. Is there an app I can download?

Hey there Bencat45,
It sounds like you have a video that is not playing at all on your iPad. I was thinking the next best thing to do would be to create an iPad version then sync that video to your iPad and try again. This article will help you with that:
iTunes: Videos may be unable to sync to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1497
Other video sources
If you didn't purchase your videos from the iTunes Store, they may not be a format that you can play on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. In many cases, you can convert them to the correct format using iTunes.
Depending on your device, choose one of these options:
Select a video and choose File > Create New Version > Create iPod or iPhone Version.
Select a video and choose File > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV Version.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Apple tv is the worst product ever, why can't I play movies I have purchased through iTunes?? It's terrible

Apple TV is NOT ready for use...I have movies and TV shows I have purchased that won't play on Apple TV, what good is it? I have authorized, deauthorized, logged in, logged out reauthorized until I am blue in the face and is still won't work. What is APPLE trying to do with this product???
The concept is great if Apple could get it to work.

Unbelievable. I just played the movies on every laptop around our house but Apple TV won't. How can they even put their name behind a product like this?
BTW our house has 2 iPads, an iMac, MacBook Air, a MacBook Pro, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, 3 iTouches, 3 Nanos and an orginal iPod so we are not novices to Apple.
Unfortunate.

Why won't ipad play music or video files?!

This started suddenly. Music and videos will load but not move at all (jumps right back to pause as soon as I hit play.) I know they are loaded because I can jump to different frames of video but neither will move at all. Other apps are also snarled (This American Life keeps quitting as soon as I go to certain screens.)
Have I mentioned that I wish I just bought another PC? Same BS, twice the cost...

Try this and see if it helps.
Quit all apps in the recents tray completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Why can't iPhone play movies in MobileMe galleries published from iPhoto?

I have movies published to my MobileMe galleries from iPhoto or QuickTime. They are in .m4v format, but the iPhone doesn't play them. Does anyone know why?

I have the same problem...movies uploaded directly from iPhoto to the MobileMe gallery. When you double-click on the movies to play, you get, "Quicktime is unable to play this movie. Please try again." This happens regardless of whether I'm logged into MobileMe or viewing my gallery as anyone else would.
If I upload movies from iMovie, they work fine. Anyone have any ideas?

Why does my iPad play music at random times?

I don't know why my iPad 2/mini plays music at random times. I told my aunt if she could put away my iPad,
But then she came out and said the music started playing. So I stopped it. Any help out there?

Is the Control Panel accidently being brought up and the Play key being pressed?

Why wont my ipad air let me download any apps or get rid of some that i dont want? it all started after i updated it

i just gotted a ipad air and decided to updated it to modern times. since i done that i cant get any apps or get the apps to do the 'wobbly' thing if i want to move or get rid of the apps.
if there is a way for me to download apps or get rid of the apps i have now then please tell me.
HELP!
i can still see logos for the apps and go search for them but when i click on the app it just give the discription of it and not the the little button that is suppose to say 'install for free' or '$$$"

Yeah, I know I can restore it, but I might as well go ahead and try. I just finished a backup for icloud and itunes to make sure, I'll go ahead and restore it and set it up as new and see how that works. Seems like I have no other options at this point, I'd still like to know what they did with the Download tab in itunes store, if they removed it or if I'm just overlooking it.
