iPhone5 bluetooth not working

I have a pair of Plantronic Backbeat 903+ headphones, they have worked fine on my iPhone 4 since I purchased them. I recieved my new iPhone 5 on Friday and after going through the usual set up they just don't work. I know how to pair them up with my iphone as it's just the same as my last. If there's a new version of Bluetooth then that's all good but surely it must be backwards compatible.

I've tried turning bluetooth off on my iphone, turning my headphones on and putting them in pairing mode, then turning bluetooth on on my iphone..... Nothing. Then all the combinations possible to get them to pair.... Nothing.

I'm pretty sure it's not me but this seems far too big a deal for Apple to mess up on. (Let's not mention maps)

Please help me anyone???

Nick.

itunes not syncing since IOS 7

Since IOS 7 I cant sync my iPad 3 or iPhone 5

 

First it appeared to be just photos so i turned off syncing to a folder in the photo tab but it now get hung on Determining tracks to Sync step 5/6

 

The sync appears to go fine until it gets to step 5 as above and iTunes still appears to be accessing the drives for a while but the barber pole progress bar is static and eventually the external drive access light stops and ITunes just drops out of syncing no error messages no sync

 

ITunes does not sync anything, no my new audio books, no new apps etc if I look under the app tab iTunes thinks it has installed the new apps becuase they have remove by each new app name, but it has not as the apps are not on either device, same with audio etc.

 

My old Iphone 3g (IOS 4.2) still syncs ok so i can listen to my new adiobook on that, at present, but neither my iphone 5 or my ipad 3 will accept new items.

 

This happened since i installed IOS7 and iTunes 11.1 my mac is running Mac OS10.8.5 and unfortunately Apple Does not allow you to go back to an older IOS

 

i sync via USB to my devices as i alter alot of the details in my books etc like Book series, book number in series and narrator etc and it means i only need to download the books once and sync the ones i want to itunes.

 

I have done a warm reset (power button only) and cold reset (power and home button) on both devices but still the issue exists.

 

I hate IOS 7 its hard to read (yes i know about bold print) and this issue does not make me warm to it.

 

Also does any one know how to shut off auto play of podcasts in itunes 11.1  even the ones you have marked as manual download are auto uploaded and played.

 

Itunes Radio for those that are looking for it outside the US should stop looking as it is US only.

 

Any help on the syncing issue would be appreciated sending Apple emails appears to fall on deaf ears . . .

The iPhone 5 uses Cellular Data over WiFi?

My wifi connection is rock solid.  I just upgraded to an Asus RT-N66U router about a month ago and couldn't be happier.  Every room in my house gets a solid 3 wifi bars on all of my iOS devices.  I haven't had a single issue with this router, so I highly doubt it has anything whatsoever to do with my router.

However, the Apple tech that I spoke with on the phone did say that the iPhone chooses whichever connection is best and uses that one.  I assume this means that if over LTE you were getting 20Mbps download speeds and if your wifi was only getting 1Mbps download speeds, that your iPhone would switch to the LTE even though you have wifi enabled.

Now, if this is true, then how does the iPhone determine the "best" connection?  Over my wifi network, I get around 40Mbps up and down.  Over LTE, I am around 20Mbps.  So as long as I'm not downloading a bunch of stuff from another system, then it should choose wifi.  However, if by "best" it takes into consideration other factors such as ping, etc. (I'm no network engineer), then it may indeed choose LTE over wifi.

Anyhow, the Apple tech I spoke with said that she'd talk with her engineers and get back to me tomorrow, Thursday.  Any enlightening information given to me, I'll stick in here.

Unable to change song details...

So I purchased the song "Work B**ch" by Britney Spears, and upon hearing that the album will be called "Britney Jean," I went to change the album name to "Britney Jean" from "Work B**ch - Single." After syncing my phone to iTunes, the song still appears under "Work B**ch - Single," even though the album title says "Britney Jean" on iTunes. I've un-checked and synced, then re-checked and synced - no luck. I've deleted the song and re-added it both from the computer and from my iPhone 5 - no luck. iTunes Match is always off for me, and I've never had this problem before. Any suggestions?

How to setup Gmail on iOS 7 so you only view a certain amount of recent emails in your inbox?

In iOS 6 you could set gmail to view only the newest 50 emails.  In iOS 7 I cannot find this feature and really need it because I have almost 4000 emails that are showing up just for gmail and I only need to know the newest 50.  Has anyone came across a setting to fix this issue?  Or does Apple need to fix another bug?
