  • Can't get Airdrop to work between my iPhone 6+ and my Mac?

    Hello,
    One of the most exciting features of Yosemite to me was the ability to Airdrop between my Mac and my iPhone, I've been wanting to do this since the introduction of Airdrop.
    Both devices have Bluetooth enabled, when I try pairing the devices together the Mac says 'connected', then immediately says 'disconnected' then I get a message saying: "Network Access is Unavailable"
    I've got all options that should be on, on. Anyone dealing with anything similar?
    This is an 'older' Mac (early 2011, the last 17") Could that be the trouble?
    Thanks!

    Try rebooting your router.

  • How do you easily switch Bluetooth headset between iPhone and MacBook Air

    I Have a Bluetooth headset that can pair between my mac and my iPhone individually.  However I only want my phone when I'm out and when I get home, id like to click the Mac and pair the headset without having to set the Bluetooth into the "searching mode".
    Wondering if anyone else is having this problem.  

    For this to work the Drafts Mailbox should be set to live on the server, not locally.
    Check in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [Your iCloud account] > Mail > Advanced > Drafts Mailbox

  • TS2972 File Sharing Between iPhone and MacBook Air: Please Help

    I have trouble retrieving a tone I created (in the Ringtone! App) and then put in the Tones tab in iTunes on my Mac. The syncing of my 4S and my Mac seems to go fine (no problems are flagged). But I do not see the tones on the iPhone after the syncing; I searched up and down the iTunes library. All updates are current.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    I have tried using the guest login but get the message "Access denied to this server, contact administrator". I can access the Air from my iMac but even though they are both running Mavverick some of the dialog boxes appear different. And thats even though I have enabled guest login on the iMac

  • Facetime between iPad2 and MacBook Air worked fine here in the USA.  The iPad2 is now in Rome, Italy and we can't connect internationally.  We both can hear the caller ringing in, but after accepting the call we cannot connect.  No voice, no video.

    I am curious if possibly the hotel has some sort of VOIP block on.  Have you tried Skype?  Did you talk to the hotel staff?  My husband is traveling to Milan in a couple of days and I wonder if he will run into the same issue.  He has had no problems from Istanbul but he is staying in a corporate apartment there.  If you find an answer please post back.  Thanks

    Hi Z,
    Lets check the Port Forwarding at your end.
    Does this Zyxel have UPnP at all ?
    If so use that and disable the Port Forwarding.
    If not then these ports need to be forwarded.
    I will list with Protocols as some device need these.
    TCP 5190 for AIM Login and text chats (can be substituted for 443)
    TCP 5220, 5222 and 5223 for Jabber (the last is for OS X servers and GoogleTalk)
    TCP 5298 this is part of the Bonjour set up for iChat if you have other Macs
    UDP 5060 this is for the SIP negotiation that iChat needs
    UDP 5678 this is where the visible invites come and go out on.
    UDP 5190 for AIM file sending and Group chats
    UDP 16384-16403 This group of 20 ports is where any Audio or Video chat takes place.
    As the 443 port is below 1024 (the NAT threshold) you should not have to Forward this.

  • I cannot get Airdrop to work on an older MacBook.

    I cannot get Airplay to work on an older MacBook, ca. 2007, even though I recently had Apple install a new hard drive, 4 Gigs of RAM, and Lion OS X 10.7.4.  Any suggestions?

    Unfortunately, it is not supported on 2007 machines:

  • A problem to sync emails in Mail app between iMac and Macbook Air

    Hello members,
    I have had a problem that can't sync emails in Mail app(OSX Mavericks) betwee iMac and Macbook Air. I have iCloud mail account and several Gmail accounts on the mail app.
    Is there anyone to help me?

    When both are at home on the same network and sharing drives, you can use a variety of tools.  Check the App store for fily syncronization.  Also, OS X includes rsync if you are a UNIX command line person, and there are shareware GUI's for rsync as well (RsyncX was one I remember).  Then there are commercial tools like Chronosync.
    Another, albeit to my mind cumbersome way, is to use an airport time capsule and time machine.  You use TM to backup each machine, and use the option in TM to browse another TM backup to restore from (eg. come home from a trip, backup the MacBook Air, then log on to the iMac, browse to the MBA backup volume and restore what you recently worked on from there).
    Or get a NAS device for home and use that as a common personal form of dropbox.  The key would be keeping a neat uniform directory structure for the things you need sync'd - like maybe just the Documents folder & subfolders.

  • Transferring photos between ipad and macbook air (not photo stream)

    Photos were originally on my IMac 10.6.8.  Put them on my Ipad (I think it's the 2nd one).  Now I want to put the photos from my ipad to my macbook air.  I have photo stream set up on both but I think because they were not taken on my ipad or originally downloaded from a camera to my ipad photo stream doesn't send them to my macbook via photo stream.  How do I get them from the ipad to the macbook air 10.8.4?
    Thanks, Kate

    You can also use 3rd party apps like Photo Transfer App.

  • Syncing contacts, notes and tasks between iphone and Macbook

    I have an iphone 4 and a brand new MacBook Pro and I understand how to sync contacts between the two and with my gmail contacts, however there are still some contacts on my phone that are not on my MacBook. I would like to know how I can keep my contacts up to date on both my iphone and Macbook without having to manually enter contacts from one to the other, ex: if I delete a contact on my phone, I want it to be deleted on my Macbook too. Is there a way to do this? Also is there a way to do the same thing with notes and tasks; between the iphone and macbook???

    You can sync via itunes or sync via icloud

  • I can't get airdrop to work

    My colleague and I both have iPhone 5S phones running iOS 7.0.4. We have been trying to get AirDrop to wok and have gotten it to work once. We tap on the AirDrop icon and we can't see each others phones, either selecting Everyone or Contacts.
    Thoughts?

    Best advice I can give u is simply text/mms what ever it is your trying to get to your friends iphone. To be honest airdrop is a very unnecessary thing that Apple placed in their updates. The fact it only allows u to send pics/videos/contacts that *****. We've been doing that via text for a long time. In short don't hustle over it cause its a waist of time. It was doing me the same thing then it started working after a while but to find out after that it's no big deal, my friend your not missing anything.  

  • Can't get airdrop to work

    cant get air drop to work

    OS X Lion- Can I use AirDrop with my computer?

    Subject: Pimping airport on older macs to support Air drop in Lion
    I recently was disappointed to find that neither my early 2008 imac nor macbookpro support airdrop.
    A japanese site reports that the following cards work:
    The cards that support AirDrop by default:
    Broadcom BCM94322MC, BCM94322HM8L
    Atheros AR5BXB112, AR5BXB92, AR5BHB92, AR5B93
    (And sounds like Atheros AR5B95 would work if AirPortAtheros40.kext edited to add DevID = 0x002b. Ditto for AR5BXB72 if edited for DevID = 0x0024.)
    Cards that do not support AirDrop:
    Broadcom BCM94321MC, BCM94312MCG, BCM94312MCAG, BCM94311MCG
    I'm in the process of buying a broadcom card off ebay and will attempt to install as soon as it arrives. An install video is available on youtube: Core Duo 15in MacBook Pro Airport Card Replacement
    (There's an old illustrated article here on that card swap/upgrade from Feb. 2007. Of course Lion doesn't support Core Duo CPUs.)
    If any one else has any input on this topic it would be appreciated.
