iPad not connecting with Nokia BH-503 bluetooth stereo headset.
I have an iPad, an ASUS laptop, a pair of Jembee bluetooth sterreo speakers and a Nokia BH-503 bluetooth stereo headphones. On the first day that I purchased the Nokia bluetooth headphones, I followed the instructions in the instruction manual and charged the headset and switched it on. The set connected with the iPad automatically and I to listened to some music for nearly an hour and then switched it off. The next day when I switched on the headset, it did not connect to the iPad though the name of the headset, Nokia BH 503, was listed in the list of devices discoverable. When I tried to connect it manually I got a message asking me to see that the device was switched on and that it was within range. Though I tried to connect the headset to the iPad a number of times I kept getting the same message. I then tried to connect it to the laptop, the connection was establised seamlessly and I was able to listen to the music that was available in the laptop. The iPad also connects effortlessly to the laptop. But the headset persistently refuses to connect with the iPad. I can not understand why this is happening. There was one thing that I noticed when I connected the headset to the laptop. The connection had to be done manually by using the "add device" feature in the Control Panel and after the device was located Windows took a few seconds to install some drivers before connecting with the headphone. I am using Windows 8 on the laptop. Does that mean that some drivers have to be installed in the iPad before it will connect with the device? If so, then how did it connect in the first instance? Perplexing. Well, that is my problem and I'd be very grateful if anybody can extricate me out of my predicament. Thanking you.
