    It will not connect to your ipad.  This has never been a feature of ipad/iphone/ipod

     

    It supports stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone devices, some keyboards, some apps from the app store, and internet tethering if provided by the carrier.

     

    Other than these, it will not connect to another phone or computer.

    The iPhone has a limited number of Bluetooth profiles and File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is not one of them so you cannot use it to pair with your iPhone and sync. What devices are you trying to connect and what are you trying to accomplish?
