Hi guys!
I do not know if i had the problem with 4.2 because when i bought it i've upgraded it straight away.
But now, i cannot connect any device.
I turn on bluetooth on my iPad, and although my mobile and macbook Pro can see it, the iPad looks like it keeps searching and searching and finds nothing nor identify any device.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Unless you're Jailbroken iPad's bluetooth does not connect to devices besides headsets and some keyboards. It does not work as a data transfer. So yours is acting normally.

Hello BrennB!
Thanks a lot for your answer.
Ive just turned on My Bluetooth headset and turn the sound into mono and still cant find it...
Ive been thinking about jailbreaking it. I have 4.2.1 is it tottaly safe?
Will i be able to transfer data?
Thanks again!

I am not the one to talk to about jailbreak as I've never ventured. As far as Bluetooth did you put the headset in pairing mode.

Hi there!
Thanks again for your help, but yes it was in pairing mode.
Unless this headset is not compatible...
Thanks again for your help!

Could be that. I would try another set just to see if you can get a connection, if you have a headset for like your cell phone see if you can pair that. I can listen to music from the iPad on my jawbone...

So do you have a link where one can get this information? it seems to me that Apple releases new devices - computers, OS, iPad, iPod, etc. with virtually ZERO documentation, Stevie seems to belive we can all just 'figure it out' precisely how you are describing.

When Apple starts releasing real, readable and rational documentation, we may have better answers.

My big one, that i have been unable to answer either on Apple's site or in the OS manual (that would not download...) - I have never seen an app that deliberately disabled HARDWARE. Where's my screen lock? PLEASE - point me to the location where this info is hidden. maybe I'm just blind, but I worked in REAL databases (SQL, dBase, FoxPro) for 15 years, and I do not find the answer on Apple's site.

The Book of Luke Chapter 11 Verse 9 "And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you"

Here is what you seek -- Apple - Support - Manuals

Thanks - been there with no luck, and this time it downloaded - I tried several times to get this doc a few days ago and could not. Xmas rush, I guess.

Yes everyone, THANKS! great info here. And let's not forget that not all is created equal. As the col. said, with that many units being produced, there is a level of failure that the MFR (suppliers and, in this case Apple) have deemed acceptable. Yes, perfection is possible, but it comes at a huge price. A price which could result in the product being too expensive for the population Apple expects to sell too. MFRs build everything with an acceptable level of failures - electroncs, gadgets, cars, even airplanes. Hopefully, they cover that range of failure within their spec limits so as to limit or even elimitate the impact to the users. Take airplanes for instance. They typically only carry half the weight they are certified or capable of carrying. MFRs build for the majority of the population, but not for 100% of them. Just my thoughts.
