My ipad has bluetooth and its turned on. My HTC phone is also turned on. My phone will bluetooth stuff to other devices but not to my Ipad. Is there a communication problem between androids and IOS devices? I also cant bluetooth my sons Iphone.

    As far as I know, IOS devices don't react the bluetooth in the same maner as other devices.
    It can't be used for file transfer (see this page, post 2).

    iOS devices don't allow file transfer via bluetooth. Awkward and annoying but true.

    Email it (depending on size) or use dropbox or similar. HTH

    Not sure if this would work as I don't use itunes, but in theory:

    Transfer video from HTC to computer via data cable
    Import video to itunes
    Sync video to ipad
    How do I add a signature?
