Hi, I am trying to connect my IPad2 to my IPhone 4 via bluethooth but nothing happens, both are in visible mode, the little wheel is spinning all the time but no sign of any device found.

For what purpose are you trying to connect them?

You can only connect iOS devices via Bluetooth using an appropriate peer to peer app, such as multiplayer games and photo sharing apps, with such functionality built-in.

The Bluetooth is mainly for headphone, headset, wireless speakers and keyboard. Doubt it'll work with your iPhone.

Yes you're right, I understand now, I have a Jambox to play music and works very well.

Thanks for the help.

Then you need a photo sharing app that uses Bluetooth.

You should use iCloud for Photo Sharing.
