Q: Bluetooth Speaker Not Connecting With iPod 5th Gen
Once you fix one problem, another one pops up...
A little over than a week ago, I bought an iHome iBT3, which is a splashproof, triangular shaped speaker. It has bluetooth, which I have used about three times now and it was working fine up until today.
The other day I had a problem with my iPod that results in me trying three methods; force reset, restoring the device, and resetting all default settings. Though I fixed my previous issue, when I tried to connect my speaker today, connected devices came up as two things that I had never seen before. I chose the setting for the iPod to "forget" the devices and tried to connect my speaker to it.
I watched it for 15 mins. The speaker tried to connect and connect and connect and the iPod tried to find the device, but they never linked up with one another; my iHome didn't show up on my iPod and my iPod never read that there was a device in the area.
I tried to force reset the iPod twice and it did nothing and if it has to happen again, I would really, really not like to restore my iPod as it took me two days and multiple handfuls of hair to do such a thing.
Is there anything that I can do to get my two devices to connect with each other?
Thank you in advance.
iPod touch (5th generation), iOS 9.3.2, null

It may be necessary for you to reset the speaker. There should be instructions that came with the speaker and provide instructions for resetting. Once you reset the speaker to default, then put it into discovery/pairing mode and attempt to pair it to the phone. If a similar speaker is pairing with your iPod, then the iPod's Bluetooth is functioning.
