iPad and iPhone Bluetooth issues

Help!

I have an iPad2 and an iPhone4s and neither of them will discover the other.


In addition they won't discover any other Bluetooth items, although my iPhone will pair with my car Bluetooth for some reason and will find other car Bluetooth devicesIt's all very odd!


I have a Bluetooth keyboard but my iPad won't discover that either. I've tried turning off but make no difference.

iPad 2, iOS 7.0.4

4. Once you do this, your keyboard will show up under Devices and say Not Paired. - See more at: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/5772/ipad-how-to-pair-connect-any-bluetooth-keybo ard/#sthash.FZlCTbkx.dpuf


Hhi,

I have 2 Ipad 4th Gen tablets.. neither will discover anything. I turn on Bluetooth and it just searches forever, but never discovers anything. I can turn both tablets Bluetooth on and neither one even finds the other.

I tried turning off the airdrop thing, and still nothing.


Is there a config file or something? Im actually an experienced Windows/Linux developer, never used Apple products before now and am suprised there is really nothing that can be done to anything. I feel like Apple is treating us like untrusted kids lol
