Handoff won't work between iPad Air and Macbook Pro

I'm trying to get handoff to work between my iPad Air and Macbook Pro (Late 2013). I have tried turning all devices on and off again, turning the handoff on and off again and turning iPhone Cellular Calls on and off again on both devices.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

This fixed your connectivity problem. However, I don't think this has actually fixed any problem.
I think this Handoff feature is buggy. I have three devices -- a MBP, an iPad Mini, and an iPhone 5 -- and I have done "the dance" you've described and only one of my devices, the iPhone, is now Handoff capable. The iPad Mini still doesn't support Handoff.
I think there is a problem in the software and that all of this signing in, signing out, powering on, powering off, is just getting the devices to clean themselves up so that stuff can start from a fresh slate and attempt to work together again...sort of. It's not necessarily guaranteed.

Airdrop between iPad Air and Macbook Pro

is it possible to share a file or a picture between a mac and an iPad Air ?

not via airdrop

AirDrop used to work between my iMac and MacBook Pro. Now, when I try to transfer a file (either direction) I get a message that my certificate is invalid or that the file has not been accepted. What do I do?

Syncing Issues between Ipad 2 and MacBook Pro

When we sync our ipad with our macbook pro we get over 100 errors for songs that won't sync to the ipad. These are all songs we have purchased on itunes or downloaded from cd's. Anyone encounter this before and have a suggestion on how to fix this?
Thanks

The underlying issue here is that you have chosen to use POP3 rather than IMAP mail accounts. Only IMAP mailboxes are 'synchronized' by default: it is virtually impossible to synchronize POP3 mailbox content.
For a discussion of POP3, IMAP and mail synchronization options, take a look at the Mail & Address Book - Tiger forum located here.

What is the difference between iPad 3 and macbook pro

I was going to buy an ipad 3 o macbook pro but Im not sure if I should send extra and get a macbook pro or get and ipad 3 which does just about everything I want to do

Unfortunately, most of the apps you listed are more like toys on iOS compared to the dekstop counterparts.
But they may be perfectly adequate for the original posters intended use (as they are for the thousands of people who use them daily). And iPhoto on iOS has a few features the desktop version doesn't yet.
One cannot really consider the iPad as a serious (doing more than just creating some quick holiday videos / edit photos) programming / video or image editor tool.
Professional musicians have created whole albums on the iPad. http://www.t3.com/features/gorillaz-ipad-album-how-it-was-made
Music videos have been created on the iPad: http://www.tuaw.com/2011/03/17/music-video-shot-with-only-an-ipad-2/
How seriously it can be used depends on what you are using it for, and your intended end result. Obviously it's not going to create the same type of work that can be created using $5000 worth of desktop computer and pro software, but then it cost 1/10th of that.
As we don't know panuccio11's intended usage (serious, fun, pro, amateur) we can't really say if it will suit his needs. But it's not correct to say it can't be used to create content, as the above examples and available apps prove.

I thought Air Drop would work between my iPad air and macbook pro running Mavericks

The air drop on the Ipad seems to only be useful with ipads and iphones (ios7). Am I missing something?

You are not missing anything. This is currently how it is with AirDrop. It will only work from iOS to iOS or Mavericks to Mavericks. Not iOS to Mavericks or vice versa.

Handoff not working between iPhone 5s and macbook pro

I was using Yosemite Beta and iOS 8. The handoff was working perfectly fine. Now after the Yosemite upgrade it has stopped working. The bluetooth does not pair the devices. In the Network preferences the iPhone shows not connected although it is syncing automatically when i connect the devices. In iTunes the sync over WIFI is also checked.
Please help
Thanks

Will Facetime work between ipone 4 and Macbook Air?

Will Facetime work between iphone 4 and Macbook Air?

Hello, may I change data between iPad Air and other devices by cable connection (USB), (not using cloud) ?

Do you mean you want to sync or transfer data using a cable? Between and iPad Air and what "other device"?

FaceTime volume issue between iPad Air and iPad 2

I've noticed that when making FaceTime calls between iPad Air and iPad 2, the volume on iPad 2 is too soft and the volume on iPad Air is too loud. This only occurs between 2 different type of iPads. If both parties use the same type, the volumes on both sides are roughly the same and loud enough to be heard clearly. I've also verified with Skype which produced roughly the same loudness when video calling between an iPad Air and an iPad 2.
Just hope Apple can take notice of this issue and rectify in the new iOS release.

Yeah, what's up with this? I too have PDF's I want to sync between iPhone5s and new iPadAir. I'm not having luck!. You would think it would be SIMPLE!

What are the major differences between the air and the pro

what are the major differences between the air and the pro?

In a nutshell, the Air is a lightened, more compact system than the 13" Pro counterpart. The Air loses some hardware features to accommodate the physical downsizing.
No FireWire port
No built-in optical drive
A lesser performing CPU to retain battery charge life, and adequate cooling.
No Ethernet port
No Kensington lock slot
The Air does have a superior native resolution at 1440 x 900, and a standard SSD that does make up alot of the speed differential, and then some. Of course, the 13" Pro can be optionally configured with an SSD.
You buy the Air if the physical size an weight savings are demonstrably more important than the features lost.

I have my ipad, iphone, and macbook pro all synced together. I receive all my emails on the macbook and iphone just fine, but don't receive all emails on my ipad. Some go to Trash because it says they're improperly formatted. What gives?

I have my ipad, iphone, and macbook pro all synced together, which generally works fine. I receive all emails from senders in my address book in my Macbook Pro and iPhone, but some end up in Trash on my iPad, with the message, "This message cannot be displayed because of the way it is formatted. Ask the sender to send it again using a different format or email program. text/plain" They appear to be mainly from competing platforms, android, etc. Is there a workaround for this problem?
Thanks-

POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

Syncing mail between iMac G5 and Macbook Pro

I work at home on a G5 and regularly read and then delete or file my emails. I regularly sync between my G5 and Macbook Pro, which I use when traveling. My syncing routine works fine with the address book, calendar, etc., but when I go my Macbook Pro Mail account after syncing, the inbox is still full of mail that I have already read and filed on the G5. Is the syncing routine designed to replicate the mail accounts or do I need to reread, delete, and file the emails on the Macbook as well.
PS: I am using email accounts with cox.net, i.e., not mac.com accounts.
Thanks for any help.
