Ok ive had it. None of my apple devices can find each other to pair with via bluetooth. I've tried everything suggested so far. I'm inclined to think apple are pushing the blame and not admitting their ios6 has a problem. Help anyone?

iPhone 4, iOS 4.3.2

Only the following bluetooth profiles are supported - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647


What exactly are you trying to pair, and to what end? Note for one thing, there is no FTP file transfer protocol supported in iOS. There are specific apps that will allow BT transfer between another iOS device with the same app installed, but otherwise you are never going to pair an iPhone with an iPad, for example.

Hi michael and tone fox. I've always been able to pair my iPad and iPhone 4 up until the new ios6 download. Other devices are showing. I wanted to pair for photo transfer, Bluetooth app transfer. Am I being an old fuddyduddy? I am 98% sure I used to see my iPhone 4 in the iPad Bluetooth connection box and vice versa.

Thanks for any info you can give me.
