When I touch to connect, I get an error that reads 'make sure the iphone is turned on and in range". I can see the bluetooth connection on both devices, they just won't connect. I have turned off wifi on both devices. I have also tried connecting to & from both devices.
iPad, iPhone4
This type of connection is not supported on iOS devices. Describe what you want to do and perhaps we can help get it done.
Why do you want to connect them?
iDevices cannot directly connect to one another for anything outside of the Hotspot feature. For which you need to activate The Hotspot option on one of the devices.
Other than that they will not connect through bluietooth, as there are no supported actions to do between them.
I downloaded an app that can share a presentation loaded on one device with up to 15 other iOS devices. It said it would work over bluetooth. I didn't realize you couldn't "pair" the devices but still use bluetooth. The developer said just to turn them both on and low and behold, it works like a charm and I feel silly. 😊
Thanks for your interest, I've learned a lot today.
Glad you sorted it out.
And that is correct, the connection works from within the App. no need to pair them. Just have Bluetooth turned on, and the App does the rest.
My iphone and ipad can see each other on bluetooth but can't connect
