Why my iPhone doesn't airdrop with my macbook air or bluetooth also

Explain how to use airdrop between my iphone 5 and my macbook air

Currently you don't.
They are not compatible.
The upcoming updates to ios and OS 10 will allow airdrop between them.
The update will be released in the fall.

    iPhone 4 will not connect to macbook air via bluetooth

    Try the suggestions here >  iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
    If nothing helped, repair permissions.
    Disconnect the iPhone.
    On your Mac open Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Then select: Repair Disk Permissions
    This process can take a few minutes.
    When it's done, restart your Mac and connect the iPhone.
    If that doesn't help, reset the PRAM >  About NVRAM and PRAM

  • Can you use iPhone ear buds microphone with your MacBook Air?

    If you use your ear buds to listen to your Facetime conversations, are also using the microphone on them to talk?

    Yes you can. Any headset compatible with the iPhone works just fine for full duplex conversation on a MacBook Air of current design. The microphone and earphones are simultaneously active.

    What generation MacBook Air? You might start here:

    Apple will fix it. No pricing without making an appointment with the Genius Bar at the Apple Store. Usually an Authorized Apple Repair Store can do it with a faster turn around time and less expensive pricing.

  • HT4623 Why my iPhone doesn't connect with my wi-fi since the iOS 7 update?

    My phone no longer connects to wi fi since I upgraded to ios7.  It tells me it has updates but can only update it using wi-fi.  How can I do this if it will no longer connect to my home wi-fi or any other. Our iPad is fine.  Its just my phone.  Tried several of the suggestions that were posted on line and it still isn't connecting.
    Thanks

  • Why does my iPhone 6 occasionally refuse to tether with my Macbook Air

    Most days, my iPhone 6 tethers up with my Macbook Air just fine, and I use the personal hotspot successfully. But about once a week, the Air gives an error message that it cannot see the phone, and the phone makes a rapid series of alarm sounds. The blue hotspot bar at the top of the phone appears quickly as if it were to connect, then it doesn't. The phone shows the error message about whether to trust the Air. Restarts of both devices does not help. The only thing that helps is to keep the two connected, ignore the warning tones, and eventually the hotspot works. Weird
    This is one of those problems that occurs intermittently - very frustrating because this kind of problem resists my ability to diagnose what is happening

    An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
    If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458

  • Seems my macbook air's bluetooth cannot sustain pairing with other devices. It shuts off right away. Been trying to pair my iPhone 6 with it but it keeps disconnecting. I can't use my airdrop. My air is a 2011 11 inch with serial number

    My Macbook air's bluetooth does not sustain paring with my iPhone 6 so I cannot use my airdrop. Is there something wrong with my mac's bluetooth or is there something I need to do to activate it? My iPhone's control center has its airdrop open on everyone and with bluetooth open.
    <Personal Information Removed by Host>

    Both devices need to have their Bluetooth on, but they need not (and indeed cannot) pair.
    A MacBook Air can communicate to an iPhone using AirDrop.  Both devices would have Bluetooth on without pairing as I described.  But actually if you have a mid-2011 MacBook Air, that computer is too old to communicate that way, so you are out of luck.

    Hello Ann,
    What other computer are you trying to share with? If you are trying to do this with your iOS device, then you will need to have OS X Yosemite installed. Take a look at the articles below for more information and if you need more assistance, let me know.

  • Does anyone know why my iphone 4s wont sync with my itunes

    Does anyone know why my iphone 4s wont sync with my itunes

    What year and model?
    I own a 2007 GL with an iPod adapter. My iPhone couldn't charge or play music through the adapter until the 2.1 update. After a complete new restore of my iPhone, the iPhone's music will play, however, as I expected it will not charge. Regarding BT through the MHI Puck, the iPhone will sync the Contacts & Call Lists, I now have full control through the steering wheel controls, and sound is much better than the 2.0.x FW. Through the 2.1 update, I effectively had reset all network and BT connections; be sure to reset all of your settings on the iPhone and re-pair it again, if you use a BT MHI Puck. And, be sure to wait a bit - the first pairing took about 3 minutes, the subsequent pairings are complete in about 20 seconds.
    Not available on this side of the pond (yet, AFAIK), MBZ has an iPhone 3G cradle adaptor for a lot of the newer MBZ vehicles (sadly, not the GL). Mercedes' part number is 204 820 23 51. The cradle plugs into the UHI connector (option 386). More at:

    I'm waiting to see if someone comes up with an adapter to the existing system's iPod connector.

  • Why my iPhone doesn't have Squared Input Method?

    Why my iPhone doesn't have Squared Input Method? I heard that this input method is supported on Chinese and Hong Kong iPhone, but there are lots of people using iPhone from other countries need that Input Method. Apple should consider that since there is no any technical difficulties.

  • My i phone 4s doesn't sync with my matchbook air

    my i phone 4s doesn't sync with my matchbook air?

    I had this same problem.  I just updraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 6.0, and it wouldn't sync with iTunes (Error 1150).
    I tried a couple of the other things suggested on this forum:
    1. Uninstall and reinstall iTunes (didn't fix it)
    2. Change the Sharing and Permissions for iTunes to everyone: Read & Write.  This has also been termed as "removing all restrictions".  (didn't fix it)
    3. Messed around with a bunch of options -- don't sync everything, sync only some things, etc. (didn't fix it)
    Finally, what worked (at least for me) was the following:
    (1) With iOS 6.0 still installed, restored the iPhone to factory settings.
        Went thru the basic on screen setup on the iPhone once it was back to factory settings.
    (2) Restored my individual settings from Backup, via iTunes.
    After this, it sync-ed properly and everything seems to work fine.  Go figure.
