Re: iPad won't connect to iMac via bluetooth 
Apr 29, 2012 3:35 PM (in response to mccass)
I was successful in connecting my iPad and 27" iMac via bluetooth for the purpose of internet sharing, so it can be done. I was able to use my iMac's free wifi connection (which the iPad couldn't pick up, as I don't want to stand by the window) to get internet on the iPad. I forget how, unfortunately, which is why I'm back in the forums - my connection went down!
*Edit: Foolish me. My iMac shows up under "Devices" on the iPad Bluetooth pane in General Settings. All I had to do was tap it to revive the connection (since I paired the devices the first time I set up the connection). iPad is now getting internet off iMac again :-)

  • Connecting 2 iPads via Bluetooth

    A teacher is attempting to use an app called Q-Interactive Assess. The instructions state that the 2 iPads need to connect via bluetooth with both having the same bluetooth name. They have connected sporadically, however they will lose connection at any given time and then are unable to "see" each other. I have already taken the troubleshooting steps with bluetooth issues, and this hasn't helped. She is using new iPad Airs. Thank you.

    Have you contacted Q-Interactive Assess support?

  • Brand new iPhone 4s won't connect to ANYTHING via Bluetooth. Is there a fix to this?

    I purchased a 4s yesterday.  I was reluctant but took the dive.  I am incredibly disappointed to find that the bluetooth does not work with ANY other bluetooth device I try to 'discover.'  It can't even DISCOVER other bluetooth devices!  By what I've read online, this has been an issue.  Does anyone know if there is a fix and what it is?  I'd sincerely appreciate the guidance!!  Thanks!

  • When I connect my headphones via bluetooth to my iPad 4 I lose my internet connection?

    I recently upgraded to iOS 7.1 and along with the problem mentioned in the title there are many other, not so major problems but I can put up with them.
    So basically before I updated I could do this fine with no problems but ever since it updated my Turtle Beach PX5 has been able to connect to my iPad via Bluetooth but as soon as the connection is established I lose internet connection which is extremely frustrating as I tend to FaceTime while I'm playing on a console.
    If I go into the wifi settings no possible access points are shown unless I turn off my bluetooth. Although on one occasion I have been able to connect to both services but the bluetooth was very unstable and after 20 or so seconds it seemed to have disconnected itself.
    It's extremely frustrating that I pay money for a quality product (might I add that I've very much enjoyed up to this point) expecting that both these services can run simultaneously when they cannot.
    So I wondered if there is a solution to this? Has anyone else had similar problems? And is there any way I can downgrade as the newest update (for me at least) has been a major disappointment.

    One thing you should definitely try is keeping your iPhone 4 connected via USB cable in your computer and restarting.  This should make the computer recognize that it is connected and as long as you have your iTunes set up to automatically open upon connection with your iPhone you should be all set!

    Hi Tomiwa,
    You cannot print from the iPad to that printer. AirPrint and Bluetooth are completely different.
    There may be apps you can buy that will enable using that printer, but that is not an ideal solution.
    That particular printer has had many bad reviews, and is unreasonably expensive for its features. Considering that you just bought the printer, as well as its lack of AirPrint, I suggest you return it and buy a printer that supports AirPrint.

    You cannot link to another smartphone via Bluetooth from your iPad except perhaps to use the Xperia's personal hotspot (WiFi is supported, but I'm not sure about Bluetooth). If you wish to transfer files or data, that's not possible.

  • Transfer of photos from ipod to ipad via bluetooth, help

    transfer of photos from ipod to ipad via bluetooth, help

    The blluetooth isn't meant to do that. It's largely meant for headphones and keyboards.
    now, if you have the camera connection kit  you can attach your iPod to your iPad using that (plugging the iPod's charging cable to the USB part of the CCK) and the photos will transfer. I've done it with my Touch.

  • Why is it when i try connecting my iphone via bluetooth it says my computer is not supported?

    Why is it when i try connecting my iphone via bluetooth it says my computer is not supported?

    Because File Transfer, buy Bluetooth, has never been supported on any iPhone. Your computer and iPhone will only pair, by Bluetooth, if you're trying to Tether. If you're not trying to Tether, you can quit tring, as your phone won't pair.

  • I cannot pair my Macbook Air (Yosemite) with my iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth.

    I cannot pair my Macbook Air (Yosemite) with my iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth. It is recognising the devices but 'connection unsuccessful'

    That is correct.  Macs do not pair to iPhones, iPads, etc.
    However, pairlng is not required to get Handoff to work.  Both devices must have Bluetooth on, but they need not (indeed cannot) be paired.
    OS X Yosemite: Pick up where you left off with Handoff
    You must be using supported devices:
    OS X Yosemite: supported devices for Handoff, Instant Hotspot, Phone Calling, SMS, and AirDrop

  • HT4111 magic mouse to ipad via bluetooth

    can you connect magic mouse to ipad via bluetooth?

    No.
    Apple iOS touch devices are touch devices only.
    Why would you want a mouse to use with a tablet.
    If you need a physical mouse and keyboard, should look at and purchase a MacBook Air instead.

    Hi there.
    I connected to my livebox after about three attempts. You have to pair the livebox by pressing either the number one or two that is on the box. When it is in pair mode it stays that way for ten minutes so it gives you chance to try your wep code that is on the bottom of the box a few times. I can't remember which one was successful but i did try the letters in uppercase and lower and one of them seemed to connect.
    Welcome to discussions by the way.
    Hope this helps JB

  • Why can't I sinc my iPhone to my iPad via bluetooth?

    Why am I having a problem syncing my iPhone & iPad via Bluetooth?

    Geez... I had such high hopes
    You had completely unrealistic hopes.
    Bluetooth is far too slow for anything more than the smallest of files.
    Considering the fact that iPads and iPhones can store many gigabytes worth of data, you would be waiting weeks to sync your media.
    USB is much, much faster. You can also transfer files via WiFi if the app you're using supports it. When iOS5 comes out later this year you'll also be able to sync via WiFi.
    Bluetooth is just not designed for syncing huge amounts of audio and video data.
