Is it possible to pair my Mac to my iPad via Bluetooth

I'm trying to connect the two in an attempt to control keynote with my iPad

Hi,
You can pair via Bluetooth for a headset but not to the Mac.
If your Mac came with a "remote", that may work.

  • Problem pairing iphone5 to iphone4s or ipad via bluetooth

    Hi, I was trying to pair my iphone5 with my iphone4s or my new ipad via bluetooth, but it seems like they can't find each other. My iphone4s able to find the new ipad and vice versa, so the problem must be with the iphone5. Anybody know how to resolve this issue? Many thanks.

    Hi mirekmal
    I see that it has been quite some time since you posted this proble. i was just wondering if you had ever resolved this problem? if not, then you can at least take comfort in the fact that you are not alone! If you have, would you mind passing on how you eventually resolved it?

  • I cannot pair my Macbook Air (Yosemite) with my iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth.

    I cannot pair my Macbook Air (Yosemite) with my iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth. It is recognising the devices but 'connection unsuccessful'

    That is correct.  Macs do not pair to iPhones, iPads, etc.
    However, pairlng is not required to get Handoff to work.  Both devices must have Bluetooth on, but they need not (indeed cannot) be paired.
    OS X Yosemite: Pick up where you left off with Handoff
    You must be using supported devices:
    OS X Yosemite: supported devices for Handoff, Instant Hotspot, Phone Calling, SMS, and AirDrop

    "I have an Iphone 4s and i can't make a connection to my mac and other devices via bluetooth! ":
    That is correct.
    "Why is this a problem and how can i repair it?"
    Becasue this has never been a feature of iphone/ipod/ipad.  There is nothing to repair.

    No one from Apple here - this is a user-to-user forum for the Apple Thunderbolt Display. If you don't like your iPad, sell it.
    If you want to ask questions about your iPad, go to the iPad community forum.

    Bluetooth is not supported for file transfer
    You can pair to tether.
    You have to use USB

  • Why cannot my Mac book pro connect via bluetooth my Iphone 5?

    Because the iPhone does not support the BlueTooth file transfer profile. The only phone to computer profile supported is for tethering.

    How can I pair my iPhone 4 to my computer via bluetooth?

    Actually you can if you have tethering on your phone. I tether via bluetooth with my macbook air all the time. It will only pair if you have tethering turned on and if your carrier supports it. Otherwise it will not pair.

  • Can't pair iPhone 5s with Macbook Pro via Bluetooth

    I have an iPhone 5s and Macbook Pro with retina display (running on iOS 8.0.2 and Yosemite respectively). For some reason, my iPhone can never see my MBPr but the MBPr can see the iPhone. Pressing the "Pair" button on in the Bluetooth setting panel in OS X will trigger the pairing confirmation to show up on my iPhone. After confirming the pair request, the devices remain connected for no more than 2 seconds. Then they just disconnect. (The status is "Not connected" underneath my iPhone on the Devices list in OS X)
    This has been bugging me for a while, even before I upgraded to iOS 8 and Yosemite. I was hoping the upgrade will solve the issue but apparently not. My iPad  on the other hand has no problem in connecting and remaining connected to my MBPr. That's just baffling.
    Just some context: the reason why I wanted to connect my MBPr and my iPhone via Bluetooth is because I want to use my my iPhone as the hotspot. Yes, I can use the USB cable, but can't blame me for trying the wireless route (And no, connecting via wifi doesn't  work)
    Any help is appreciated!

  • Is it possible to use airplay for image and sound via bluetooth speaker for sound?

    I want to play my presentations using airplay, and it works perfectly, but i tried to use my bluetooth speakers at the same time and it doesn't seems possible! Each time i choose the bt speaker on system preferences it disconnects the airplay. Any suggestion?

    Hello, you'd need another Router, or at least a different range of IPs on the Router for Wired & Wifi, or at the very least specifically mount Windows® shares by IP.
    10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
    System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
    The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.

  • Mac not finding Itouch via Bluetooth

    Hello:
    Just received a new Itouch 3G. Itunes opened up when I plugged it into my Mac Mini. Synced, downloaded tunes.
    I went into System Preferences, turned on Bluetooth. On and discoverable.
    Went into settings on the Itouch, WiFi on, my network is found.
    Went to add the device to the computer, and all I get is that no devices are found. Turned on and off the computer, turned on and off the Itouch. My computer has airport and bluetooth pan turned on. It can't find my Itouch. Any help?

    The only BT profiles that the Touch supports are for BT stereo headphones (not the headsets you'd use for a cell phone), BT stereo speakers and peer to peer gaming.
    The Touch doesn't support any type of file sharing or syncing over BT.
    Best of luck.

    My sister in America has paired hers so it means you can use it instead of the remote it is much better when searching for a movie title or song
