My Bose wireless speaker worked fine connecting to my ipad but it won't connect now. I get a message saying turn speaker on or move closer to ipad. The speaker works fine with my iphone so I think it must be my ipad. Ipad shows Bose speaker on my bluetooth but when I click on it, I get the message I previously mentioned. Help?
iPad
Thank you for showing me how to reset my Bose wireless speaker. By pressing the mute button for 10 seconds did the trick. After this by pressing the discoverable button for 3 seconds made it work good again. All Blue Tooth devices should be turned off. Now the Bose Sound Link can find your device one at a time by turning the Blue Tooth on one at a time. Thanks, I am happy again.🙂

I have figured out a solution after I had tried everything mentioned here. On your Ipad/Iphone go to the bluetooth devices list and then click on the explanation mark to the right of the device you are trying to pair. next select "forget this device" . After this has been done you will notice once it finds your device again (mine being the bose SLIII) it will ask to pair rather than connect now. You should be able to pair the two at this point. It worked for me and hope it works for you guys.
try reseting the device - you will not lose any info
press and hold both the power button and the home button untill the device resets and you see the apple logo
hope that helps
I have already tried resetting the device - still won't connect. I think it has something to do with my ipad as my iphone is connecting fine. And, I have disconnect my iphone from the speaker and it still doesnt' work.
I think you have to reset the Bose speaker by pressing down on the Bluetooth button slider for about 6 seconds. It doesn't seem to like a "stale" connection.
I did this already.
1. Hold Bluetooth button down for 3 seconds so that iPad can "see" the Soundlink (bluetooth light should fade in and out every second)
2. Make sure it's within range
3. Keep speaker away from router, cordless phone or microwave oven
4. Keep it away from other Bluetooth device
5. Make sure it's not muted
6. Turn it off and on again
7. Make sure volume is turned up
already did this - still get the same message.
Reset the Bose speaker and setup again (press the Mute button down for 10 seconds).
did this already. I'm wondering if I should take my ipad in to the Apple store with the speaker and see if they can figure out what is askew in the ipad - thoughts?
No harm trying if they are not too far away.
Hi did you ever find a solution to this problem? I have same problem. Thanks.
Thank you this fixed it for me 🙂
HI, I just solved this problem like a pair of minutes ago. What I did, was to re-connected to my IOhone and then disconnect it. After that, I clicked on forget this device and then immediatly it appear in my IPad: Bose SLIII. As I said, this was my problem five minutes ago. It totally worked.
my ipad won't connect to bose wireless speaker
