Any help to resovle this issue is apprecaited.

If I'm reading your post correctly, I must assume you are trying to connect your iPad to your Mac via Bluetooth? If I'm correct, you can not. Bluetooth on iPad is limited to pairing with devices like speakers, or keyboards.

There is nothing in the iPad's BT stack to offer you anything with a general BT pairing to a Mac. There are specific apps available in the iTunes App Store that offer specific services, such as transfering photos over BT.
The Bluetooth is mainly for headphone, headset, wireless speakers and keyboard.
That's a bummer.
Thanks for the responses.
Bluetooth pairing but not connecting!
