I'm trying to pair my iPhone 4 with my MacBook Pro and it is saying my MacBook Pro is not supported. I just bought this thing and it's telling me that it isn't supported???
Do you mean Bluetooth?
If you are trying to activate your iPhone you need to use iTunes.
There's no need to "pair" an iPhone with a Mac. Syncing, restoring, backing up, apps/ music / photos etc., is all done with iTunes. -
IMessage on MacBook Pro DOES NOT allow me to sign in with my Apple ID. What can I do?

Highly anooying as I can't even use the Express Card slot at all, due to the fact the Macbook doesn't even recognize it exists. Has anyone else had this problem. If so, how was it fixed? I only upgraded my Macbook Pro due to the fact Ineeded a better performance but I still need my Expressbox1 to work with my UAD DSP card. If not the buying the new MAcbook was a total waste of money if the Express Card does not even fundtion on it? Please help!!
Mavericks is no longer available from the App Store, so your choice is Yosemite. One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.
Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

Even though my software and hardware is up to date my new iPhone 5c is not recognized by my computer or itunes, it does not even load or show up on my desktop. Is anyone else having this problem?
I'm afraid it may be related to activating the phone in the store earlier today and not having my computer on hand?Hi, akp2585.
If your Mac is running OS X v10.6.8 or later and iTunes version 11.1 or later, here is a troubleshooting article that you may find helpful.

Macbook Pro Retina- not 3 months old - will not install operating system
My computer which I bought in May 2013 and have had documented problems all along died last Monday after taking it in for them to test the hard drive. They said it was fine. Within 20 minutes of using it nothing worked at all. I talked to a Tech supervisor - he walked me through erasing everything and then reinstalling. It said it could not download components to install OS X. I tried again. Same thing. I talked to a different Tech supervisor who had me do an internet recovery and then try and install - same message. Now he says for me to take it back to Apple and have them do it. The thing is.... he said when I get it home I'm to work with a tech to install all the software on piece by piece to make sure none of it caused the problem(this same software is still on my old computer and works fine) then piece by piece reinstall all my data. OK... a pain but... However he said a month or more down the line - it still could be the hard drive and we will have to do this ALL over again!!!!! I have taken the computer into Apple several times, I have talked with Apple Care people countless time, sent reports in all all the crashes... and yet they can do nothing more. I haven't had a useable computer in almost a week and this is OK on a basically brand new computer..... Has this happed to anyone else? I do not have much confidence in Apple as the third time I took it in the guy in the one to one session, did something to totally screw up my email and internet connection and it took me too several hour sessions with another Apple Care supervisor to get it working- this was of course just outside of their 14 day return policy - I think it was 21 days out! Very upset this may continue to be a proble. I thought Apple was supposed to really stand behind their products- they tell me all they are required to do is to keep fixing it as long as I have Apple Care - then what? Thanks if anyone has any thoughts!
This has not happened to me, but in this case, you'd do best to move "up the chain" to find satisfaction. Set an appointment with your Apple Store and outline your situaiton; they probably have customer service notes. You shouldn't have to do any fixes yourself; the Apple staff should do this for a machine that's still under warranty.
If this doesn't work, then ask for a supervisor. Don't fall through the cracks. Demand a fully working computer, or demand a replacement that works. When you reach a dead end, ask for several specfic contacts. Names and email addresses.
And then, there's this: http://www.computerlemonlaw.com/rights.html Your results will depend on your computer and the laws in your state.
And please post here with your results. -

ICloud sync with MacBook Pro does not work
I've installed iOS 5, updated Lion to 10.7.2, marked Calendar and Contacts sync in System settings for iCloud on my Mac. However iCal and Address Book sync between iCloud and Mac (MacBook Pro) does not work though there is no problem in syncing between iCloud and iPhone. Whether I create new event or contact, change existing one or delete existing one in iCloud this change is not reflected on my Mac and vise versa. I could not find a solution in this site or in forums.
Yep, worked for me, too and now contacts and calendar seem to be syncing perfectly. We'll see if it lasts.
Thanks for your answer. -
My iMac is able to use my wireless internet from my airport extreme, however, no other devices(iphone, ipod) will connect. The network shows up, but the indicator just spins without ever joining.
I have tried resetting my airport extreme, creating a new network, etc nothing seems to work.I have a feeling you may be stuck in bridge mode there...
Factory reset the Extreme (so we don't second guess later), and re-set up the extreme using iOS5 on your iPhone.
Set up your Wi-Fi network with your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, or Mac.

I just bought a new 2013 Honda civic and my iPhone 4S won't pair with the cars Bluetooth device but it did on other people's iPhones; I have no other Bluetooth devices on my phone. Any suggestions?
I have to ask,
Are you making sure you are in park before attempting the sync? The car won't allow you to do it in motion, whether or not you're the passenger. -
Continuity Bluetooth Calling & SMS on Macbook Pro (via iPhone 5) Not Working
Devices:
Macbook Pro Mid-2010 running OSX 10.10.2
Iphone 5 running iOS 8.1.3
*NOTE: I understand that due to the version of the Bluetooth protocol in my machine, not all continuity features are available (Handoff, Air Drop, MBP Instant Hotspot)
However SMS to IMessage and the ability to make and receive calls from my Mac should be OK according to Apple's system requirements one-sheeter:
System requirements for Continuity on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac - Apple Support
================================================================================ =====================
Here's my problem.
I finally took the plunge last night and updated my iPhone 5 from 7.1 to 8.1.3 to access the iCloud Drive and additional continuity features integrated into Yosemite.
When I tried to pair my iPhone 5 with my MBP over Bluetooth, all seemed to go well for the first 5 seconds.
- Both devices were in discovery mode.
- Mac saw the phone and displayed a security code
- iPhone displayed the same security code and asked if I would like to pair with MBP
- Pairing took place. Each devices Bluetooth profile / device showed up in my MBP Bluetooth's Preferences and in my iPhone's Bluetooth.
- 5 seconds later, there's no connection between devices.
My iPhone displays:
"Connection Unsuccessful: Make sure [Macbook Pro] is turned on and in range." (The phone is 5 inches away)
Then sometimes I get this message:
"Connection Unsuccessful: [Macbook Pro] is not supported.
No rhyme or reason between the two either.
Here's the baffling part: When I activate my Phone's HotSpot function, the Bluetooth works and connects with my MBP allowing it to use my cell phone network's data for internet connectivity.
I don't understand what is going on or how to correct this? Can anyone succinctly explain how to correct this problems in layman terms?
If the devices can communicate long enough to exchange security codes and verify their identities, then use Hotspot, there is clearly a data exchange happening. Where is the break down taking place when it comes time to stay connected to so I can continue to use the limited continuity features.
I've seen this question posted before by people having problems with different model years of MBP including the most recents models, so I know it's not mutually exclusive to my model year, but cannot seem to find clarity on an answer.Handoff Continuity Troubleshooting

I have a wireless network at home. I run my iphone and ipad on it with no problems. Just purchased a MacBook Pro, and now my wi-fi keeps disconnecting and i get an error message saying another device is using the same IP address. What does all this mean?

Every time my MacBook Pro is put to sleep, it will not connect to the internet upon reopening unless I perform diagnostic assistant.
Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved. Make sure the box marked
Remember networks this computer has joined
is checked.
2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading
Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
3. Reset the PRAM.
4. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
5. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
6. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
7. Repair permissions on the startup volume.
8. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
9. Reset the System Management Controller.
10. Reinstall OS X.
