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.

How do you sync calendars between iPad and MacBook Pro running Maverick

I had no problem syncing my iPad with my MacBook Pro before upgrading to Maverick. Now I just keep going round in circles. It's such a basic requirement to be able to sync calendars, but just so problematic.

Use iCloud.

How do I share files between my iPhone 5 and MacBook Pro?

I need to transfer files between my iPhone 5 and my MacBook Pro. The latter is running Mavericks. I have enabled AirDrop on both devices (I chose "AirDrop for Everyone" on my iPhone), but when I click the AirDrop file in Finder on my Mac, my iPhone doesn't appear.
Thoughts?

Sorry; I've got Yosemite installed on my MacBook Pro, not Mavericks anymore.

Only one of my earbuds on my bose headphones works with my ipad, iphone and macbook- if I hold them there the right earbud will work, but for the life of me, I can't get them to both work. Why is this? And is Apple doing anything about this?

Only one of my earbuds on my bose headphones works with my ipad, iphone and macbook- if I hold them there the right earbud will work, but for the life of me, I can't get them to both work. Why is this? And is Apple doing anything about this? While Apple's headphones have (finally) admittedly gotten better of late, I still prefer the much more comfortable headphones & sound quality that Bose makes and that I spent the money for.

There aren’t any. AirDrop between the platforms requires that the Mac support Bluetooth 4.0, which wasn’t introduced to them until the 2012 models.

I cannot sync contacts between my iPhone 4s and MacBook Pro after I upgraded the Mac with the latest operating system software upgrade. Even the Mac Store couldn't help...

That is because that sync ability (for contacts and calendars) has been removed. Use iCloud instead.

CS5 Photoshop/Bridge/Suite not working on new Retina Macbook Pro, running Mavericks 10.9.2

I recently purchased a new Retina MacBook Pro laptop running Mavericks OS X 10.9.2. I had Apple perform a data migration of all my apps and files from my older laptop onto the new one. Now when I go to open Photoshop CS5 I receive the following error message, "Could not synchronize the color settings because of a program error." Photoshop will then open but I can't do anything in the app. When I go to quit Photoshop I get this error message: "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the 'Get Info' command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders."
I am able to open Bridge, however the app in entiretly is noticeably lo-res and pixelated looking, so clearly something is not up to speed there either.
InDesign and Illustrator are also having issues.
I have run the System Update and it does not show anything in the CS5 Suite needing to be updated.
Please advise! Thank you.

I do not get the Airplay icon on my Macbook's menu bar. I have checked the box in the Display settings to show mirroring options but still no icon. Airplay Display shows 'No device Detected'. Both AppleTV and MacBook Pro are on the same physical Network (192.168.1.0/24) and connected directly to my home ethernet switch (not wirelessly). I also made sure MacBook's Firewall is disable. Airplay feature use to work before upgrade to 10.9.2. As far as Home sharing from my AppleTV has a similar issue; it just does not find my MacBook after a while of loading and searching my music library. I am logged in to icloud on both devices (appletv and macbook). Also use to work before upgrade. Any ideas or recommendations. Thanks.

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.

HT204291 I have a MacBook Pro running Mavericks OS 10.9.2 and discovered that my airplay mirroing feature to my AppleTV (version 6.1) is not working. Is there any fix for it? I have been waiting for 4 months for a patch to come out. Any ideas?

Any ideas on a patch or fix for the Airplay mirroing feature to AppleTV? Home sharing to AppleTV is also broken after I upgraded to Mavericks 10.9.2.
Thanks.

Ios 7 air drop not working with mountain lion air drop

Hi, didn't see an iOS 7 forum, so I'm posting it here since I was testing it out on my iPhone 5.
I tried to use air drop to share photos b/w my iPhone and my MBP running mountain lion, both has air drop enabled, but I couldn't see either on the air drop window.
is iOS 7 air drop not compatible with OSX air drop??
bluetooth and wifi are on for both machines.
thanks

I have a Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Folio i5. Also, even before reading your suggestions, I moved my phone hand set away from the iPad. There aren't any other sources within 10 feet although the phone base is within 30 feet. The WiFi router is about 5 feet away. Haven't had a chance to "troubleshoot" the connection.
Have you any suggestions for Air Drop or Air Print? My Pixma MP 450 which in excellent working order isn't compatable with either OS 10.9.x or iOS 7.
Canon suggested a Pixma MG 3520 which was hellatious to set up, requiring a big download and both a USB cable and Ethernet connection to the router, and isn't working with the iPad.
Clearly, technological "advancements" are for teeny boppers who spend their time taking phone pictures, sending mindless messages and listening to music. Oh, to be 14 again.
Sorry about the bitters. Rare opportunity to vent to adults.

Why does Home Sharing not work on iTunes 10.5.3 between a Windows PC and MacBook Pro?

I have a Dell XPS M1530 laptop which is my older laptop, consisting of all my music, apps and so on. I recently purchased a MacBook Pro (latest version) and would like to use Home Sharing to browse my music libraries and so on on there. However, I find that I am unable to do this, after several methods I have attempted in order to resolve this issue.
The Home Sharing on the left column does not appear at all.
I have upgraded iTunes on both laptops to the latest version yesterday, which I assume is iTunes version 10.5.3.
I have turned off Home Sharing, and turned it on a few times.
I use the same Apple ID to log in to Home Sharing.
I named both playlists/music libraries to the same name - not sure if this is a way to 'fix' the problem but I saw it in a thread.
I tried all the above methods, but to no avail. Home Sharing still does not work - in fact, it does not even appear on the left column; it disappears as soon as I turn on Home Sharing.
Help is very muchly appreciated.
Thank you very much!

First, each Library should have a unique name, not the same name.
Now, I wrote an extensive how-to in another thread that explains Home Sharing, Library Sharing, how to turn them on and identify them and so on. See if it helps you with your problem.

WPA PEAP No working under 10.4.8 and Macbook Pro C2D

After the Core 2 Duo upgrade I finally decided to buy a Macbook Pro to use at work.
Everything working fine so far (Love the MBP) except that at work we are using a Radius Server to authenticate with PEAP under WPA for wireless.
I created the 802.1x connection and after giving it the Network name and UID and pwd (SID is not broad casted) it sees the network and connects OK (after accepting the certificate) but I do not get an IP from the DHCP.
I looked at the forum discussions and apparently this has been an issue before o certain Intel machines but was fixed on 10.4.6 or so, well apparently is brocken again.
Called Apple Support but they did not know how to resolve.
Anyone else having the problem?

If anyone is interested the problem of instability resurfaced despite doing an archive and instal to reinstal 10.4.8 and then go through the upgrade process from there to instal the updates to bring it back to 10.4.10. Even after that the instability got to the stage that I only had to sneeze and it would crash.
Ultimately I resorted to backing up all my data onto a 120Gb USB HD, erased the HD drive and started from the beginning again with the discs that came with the MBP. As you can imagine that was a long process and took me from about 4pm in the afternoon to 1am in the morning. Eyes were hanging out of my head after that effort.
So far I have not had any further problems.
I really don't know now to what extent that Safari 3 Beta was the cause of all my instability problems but the crash logs seemed to point to it. Some people are reporting no problems with Safari 3 whatsoever so that begs the question if there was a conflict with some 3rd party application I was running or something got corrupted that could not be repaired for whatever the reason.
After the rebuild I was thinking that re-establishing my iPhoto and iTunes library would be a slow nightmarish process by having to import each photo group or each iTunes album one at a time. I chose to gamble on copying the entire directory for iPhoto and the entire directory for iTunes across from my USB HD. Well I needn't have worried because it worked perfectly. I also had copied out some user/library/.... folders and gambled on copying them back after rebuild in the hope of restoring various setups etc and that worked too. Things like Application Support files, Mail files, selected Preferences, Safari bookmarks and history and Widgets. That sort of approach worked on my well used Windows XP box so thought it would work on the MBP. Worst case is that I would have had to start all over again if I messed it up.

Bluetooth tethering no longer working - iPhone 3GS (iOS4.1) and Macbook Pro

Hi all,
I don't understand why this is not working anymore. In the past I had successfully paired & used a bluetooth tethered connection between my Macbook Pro (OSX 10.6.4) & my iPhone 3GS (pre 4.1). The network connection was working and I was able to surf the web/use MSN etc. This is not a feature I have used in quite some time and for some reason now it is not working. I have done several upgrades on my phone since I last used it, currently on iOS 4.1.
Lets pretend I am starting from scratch and my Macbook & iPhone do not know each other, devices have been forgotten on both.
- iPhone & Macbook both are on & discoverable
- On Macbook Pro I select "Set Up Bluetooth Device"
- Macbook scans and detects my iPhone, I select "Continue"
- Macbook connects with iPhone & displays 6 digit pin, also pairing notification is shown on iPhone with the same 6 digit pin
- I select "Continue" on Macbook & "Pair" on iPhone
- Connection is made, iPhone is now listed on Macbook and vice versa
- From bluetooth menu (on Macbook) in the iPhone device menu I select "Connect to Network". Error is displayed on Macbook "The bluetooth network is unavailable. There was a problem connecting to your device..." & on my iPhone an error "Connection Unsuccessful. Make sure iPhone is turned on and in range".
- When I try to connect from the iPhone an error is displayed "Connection Unsuccessful. iPhone is not supported" with a button to Forget Device.
What... the ****?
This has worked in the past without a hitch. Has something changed between say iOS 3.x and 4.1 that might cause this to no longer work for me.
Any protips are greatly appreciated!

Don't feel like a noob, my settings changed after the last update without warning and I was having the same issue as you until I found your post that alerted me to the fact that my internet tethering might be off!
So for others out there that are having this issue to turn tethering on go to Settings > General > Network > Internet Tethering > On
Thank you!! I had already wasted over an hour repeatedly syncing and unsyncing my darn bluetooth connection.

Hardware Test on MacBook Pro running Mavericks not working, Help!

Hi Folks,
I am hoping someone can help me get the Apple Hardware Test working on my Mid-2012 MacBook Pro (model 9,1) running OS X Mavericks v10.9.5.
It came with Mountain Lion pre-installed. I successfully ran Apple Hardware Test when I received it by holding D while powering up. No problem. Since then I have done nothing involving OS X other than installing Mavericks.
Recently I have installed some RAM and wanted to test it. I find the Apple Hardware Test no longer works. The mac simply boots into the username screen as usual.
Here's what I've tried:
0. Reading instructions on Using Apple Hardware Test - Apple Support. Ensured Mac was plugged in, and confirmed I pressed D prior to grey screen, and confirmed I held it down. No effect.
1. Pressed Option-D while powering up. No effect.
2. Searched for .diagnostics directory in /System/Library/Core Services/.diagnostics
It didn't appear to be there. (I don't know why, I can only guess that the upgrade from Mountain Lion to Mavericks must have hosed it)
So, I found instructions on how to obtain the AHT .dmg file for my version of MacBook Pro and downloaded it.
It's at this link by the way:
http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Hardware_Test/022-5879-A.dmg
Then copied the .diagnostics directory from the .dmg into the /System/Library/Core Services/ directory on my HDD.
Tried again, pressing D after powering up. No success. Option-D, same thing.
So, I don't know what else to do. IEverything I have read indicates the test should run. It doesn't.
Can anyone help?
BTW: I don't have an install disk. System came with Mountain Lion pre-installed and I subsequently upgraded to Mavericks a while later.
Thanks in advance,
- BS

Forget the code yoyu have a hardware problem. Only Apple, or a AASP, knows the codes and what they mean. Take it to a genius bar.

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