Bluetooth pairing issues.

Hello I have several apple devices 2 x iPhone5c, 1 x iPad3, 1 x Mini iPad. I'm unable to pair these devices using bluetooth. I can however pair with none apple products. e.g my Nissan handsfree unit, Bose music unit.I've carried out all the suggested fixes.

I used to be be able pair between my devices, but since I followed the unpairing fixes! I've lost the pairs e.g iPhone>iPad3

My iPhone is currently only paired with my Car.

All my devices are IOS 8.3 with auto update switched on.

Please advise/help

thank you Alan

An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) or iPad except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722

If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204678
