Why won't my iPhone 5 connect to my macbook pro 13 over bluetooth?

I downloaded the iKeyboardRemote app  on my mac so i can control my phone across the room. The two both have bluetooth on and show up as recognized on both devices. I have paired them and all. The problem is they say disconnected so on my phone i press the bar that says "macbook pro" and my mac shows the two connect for a second but then i get a message on my phone saying "connection unseccesful, make sure "macbook pro" is turned on and in range" they both are turn on and sitting next to eachother, so why am i getting this error message?
Thanks

  • Why won't my Iphone connect to my Macbook Pro?!

    The thing is, I have transfered music for many time over the past year. My Iphone connected to my Macbook and everything, it loaded up iPhoto, iTunes etc. But now when I tried to connect my Iphone to transfer some new music it wouldn't even connect?!?! First I thought that it was the cable, but it wasn't because I can load my phone normally otherwise. Then I checked my USB-ports, but they worked just fine! After that I started to search everywhere for the same problem but all I could find was ''My iphone won't connect to iTunes'' and that was not the problem I had... I restarted both my devices and updated my iTunes on the computer, still nothing works... And now I'm sitting here looking for an solution I probably won't find... So please help me with this problem, I am getting really close to just throw the computer in the wall or something!

    It is not uncommon.. !!
    Go back in and setup wireless again.. let me strongly recommend you use a real utility.. not that toy in ML. See below.
    Change the wireless name/s to SMB standard .. short, no spaces. pure alphanumeric. I recommend fixing the 5ghz to a different name at least whilst you have issues.
    Now lock the wireless channels for 2.4ghz.. try 1, 6, 11 in turn. Keep whichever gives the best speed and range in your environment.
    On the screen shots above I still haven't finished the setup.. wireless security should be set to WPA2 Personal.. and use a pure alphanumeric key.. mix of upper and lower case and numerals.. 8-12 characters is plenty for most.. if you are paranoid add a few more.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
    For screen shots see this post.

  • Why wont my htc one connect to my macbook pro

    I have been trying to connect my HTC One to my macbook pro, when i plug in my phone it doesnt have anything pop-up. I have tried restarting both the laptop and the phone. I have used differert USB cords, different USB ports, nothing has worked. I tried using HTC Sync Manager so i could transfer my iTunes music to my phone like I did when I first got my phone. That ended up not working, and so I tried doubletwist and that didn't work. The next thing I thought of was using bluetooth to just share the music files. I paired my phone and my macbook, but when I go to share a file it says that the device (my HTC One) would not accept the file. When I go to the bluetooth settings on my laptop, it just says the Bluetooth PAN is not connected and it won't connect.
    All I am trying to do is transfer some iTunes songs from my MacBook Pro to my HTC One phone, which I have done once before but I cannot rememeber how I did it the first time. I don't know what the problem is but if I took a guess I would say that for some reason my phone just isn't connecting to the MacBook Pro when I plug it in. Please help!

    I, too, am having the same problem, although with different circumstances. I just recently switched over from PC to Mac, but after installing the HTC Sync Manager, it does not recognize my phone. I also just want to add music to my phone, so I'm eager to hear if anyone knows what the problem is...

  • Why won't my iPhone connect to my iMac via Bluetooth?

    I tried connecting my iPhone 6 Plus to my iMac via Bluetooth. Both have latest software.
    When I try to pair with the phone using my Mac it does connect after I accept it on the phone but only after 5 seconds it disconnects.
    When I retry connection from either of the devices some error messages are displayed -
    The iPhone says - "XYZ's iMac is not supported".
    The Mac says - "Make sure network access is enabled".
    I wished to use handoff but am unable to. Please help me with this.

    There is no iOS/OS X supported Bluteooth pairing profile between the iPhone and Mac other than Hotspot tethering. You cannot BT pair these devices with that one exception.
    See here for supported BT profiles: iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles - Apple Support

  • Why won't my music sync from my Macbook Pro to my iPhone 5?

    When syncing my phone, the music doesn't go from the computer to the phone. Just recently I got a bunch of physical albums and after I uploaded them to the computer, I wanted to put them on my phone. I checked to make sure I have enough data, and I did. But when I try to sync the music from my Macbook Pro to my Iphone 5, it doesn't work. On my computer it says that the music is on my phone, yet it isn't. I tried deleting all the music and resyncing it, but that didn't work either. It shows some of the songs greyed out on the computer with dotted circles next the them, what is that? Also, on my phone, some of the songs have circles next to them with squares in them and when i click them they just turn grey. I've been trying for a few days and I am getting very frustrated. Please help!

    I have this same problem. It is constantly recurring and after trying just about everything, I'm almost ready to give up.
    Things I've tried, that have not worked:
    restarting computer
    closing all open apps on iPhone before sync
    restarting iphone before sync
    syncing with wire
    syncing without wire (over wifi)
    converting the music files to another encoding
    dragging the music files individually onto the iphone in iTunes
    dragging a selection of music files
    putting music files in a playlist and adding that playlist
    Does anyone have a solution?

  • I cant pair my iphone 5c to my macbook pro via bluetooth why is that?

    Ive tried several time to pair my phone to my laptop but it wont pair, it says "failed" or "unsuccessful" pair and i want to know why.
    I first noticed when i was trying to connect my phone to use it as a remote for keynote but it wouldn't connect.
    then i tried an app called "remote mouse" and that wouldn't connect to my laptop either after following all the instructions.
    I can easily Airdrop stuff back an forth. thats not a problem.
    I see my iphone on my mac when searching for devices in Bluetooth but it won't pair.
    I changed the settings in keynote to enable a remote.
    I've changed my system preferences under "Security & Privacy" to allowed  "Keynote"and "RemoteMouse" access to control my computer. did nothing.
    My main concern is getting to work my iphone as a remote for Keynote
    Iphone 5c
    iOS 8.1.3
    Macbook pro
    I have Yosemite 10.10.2

    The iPhone and Mac do not BT pair with the one exception of BT tethering.
    The Keynote remote feature uses WiFi. See this support article for information: Using Keynote Remote - Apple Support
    if you are still using the Keynote remote App (which is no longer in the App Store) see this article:

  • Hi, there! My iPhone 4S refuses to connect with my MacBook Pro, via Bluetooth... Any tips?

    I start the whole process as indicated. Then, my MacBook Pro recognizes my iPhone 4S and starts the pairing. But when I try to pair my iPhone w/ my MacBook, the 4S indicates "the connection failed", and also says "the MacBook Pro isn't compatible"!
    Please, if you could help me I'd really appreciate. Tks!

    The Syncing process is via iTunes... not Bluetooth...

  • Why can't my calculator connect to my MacBook Pro?

    I use a TI-84 Plus (recently upgraded to version 2.55) and a TI-89 Titanium on a regular basis for school, and I create my own programs for my benefit. I have connected both calculators to my PC with TI Connect multiple times without a problem to sync programs and rearrange files, but I want to use TI Connect X for Mac to use the new version with a program editor. Upon installing TI-Connect and connecting my calculator(s) to the computer, I receive no indication that my calculator is seen by the application. Only after turning off and then back on my calculator do I get this message:
    It reads: "Alert - A device was connected, but we could not communicate with it for some reason."
    This has happened with both my calculators every time I try. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, used different cables, downloaded the software again, and connected to different usb ports, all to no avail. I sought out help from TI for this, and it was concluded that the problem was probably with my MacBook Pro because I am still able to connect to my PC and my friends' Macs, under the same conditions.
    Does anyone know of a reason for why my TI-84 Plus and/or TI-89 Titanium cannot connect to my new MacBook Pro using the TI Connect X software?

    Ok, so I went to Best Buy in an attempt to buy a TI cable hoping this would fix the problem. One of the guys from the Geek Squad told me TI's accessory products are not proprietary so it shouldn't matter what cable I used and directed me to the cell phone area for a generic USB-to-mini cable as they did not sell TI cables. I bought one for good measure just to make sure I didn't have a bad cable at home. STILL the same problem and error. I sent TI a message through their website trying to get help on the issue and this is what they said:
    "First, I would like to inform you that Texas Instruments has not tested this software on your platform. It was last updated to work with Macintosh 10.6.4 OS. While we will continue to troubleshoot any issues that may arise I am not able to guarantee that a solution may be available.
    Since you have Snow Leopard OS I am assuming that you either have 10.6.5 - 10.6.8 OS, if I am incorrect please correct me so that I continue troubleshooting. At this point, our software developers have become aware of an issue with our software and your platform. They are working on possible solutions for a possible future update to the software. Unfortunately, I do not have an estimated time frame as to when this update may become available. I do apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused."
    I definitely have 10.6.8 so I guess I'll be waiting for the software developers to do their thing. If you've got 10.6.4 then you should contact TI for more help.

  • Why won't my keynote files from my MacBook pro show up on my iPad 2 via iCloud?

    Hey anyone who can offer assistance,
    I recently upgraded my MacBook pro early 2011 from snow leopard to mountain lion in order to utilize iCloud and am experiencing an issue syncing presentations from my MacBook to my iPad 2.  The presentations simply don't show up on my iPad. I have gone through all the normal steps of making sure that iCloud is turned on on both the devices as well as confirming the documents and data tab is switched on in iCloud on both devices.  I then drag and drop presentations into the iCloud folder (within keynote) on my MacBook pro and keynote confirms it has been uploaded to iCloud.  Then when I open keynote on my iPad it is not there.  I am connected to the internet on both devices as well.  Thanks for any help you can offer.

    I am a doofus. All I needed to do was go into settings, click on keynote and turn iCloud on in keynote.

  • Why won't my iPhone connect to my home wi-fi router?

    I have an iPhone 4S, and the wi-fi all of a sudden stopped working. I have a Verizon FiOS router that I use at home to access the internet on my iPhone. I am able to enter the password and it says it's connected, but nothing that uses the internet is able to load, and it says it can't load the page because it isn't connected. And now, as I'm typing this, the wi-fi won't even load. When I click on the one I want, it just has that loading circle and never loads. I've done everything to troubleshoot. I've restarted my phone multiple times, turned the wi-fi on and off, and even tried resetting my network settings, but nothing works. I really need this to be fixed because I can't go on the internet without using my data, and I don't want to use it up, so I really need my wi-fi to start working again.

    Marv567, I would like to help resolve this issue if you are still having problems. First, we need to determine whether the phone or the FiOS router is causing the issue. Are you able to connect to other wifi networks on your phone? Are you able to connect other wifi devices (computers, etc) to your wifi connection? Resetting the network settings is a great troubleshooting step since it requires you to setup the wifi network again. As JimFitzgerald suggested, make sure to reboot your router as well. Soft reset your phone by pressing the sleep/wake button and home buttons for 10 seconds until the Apple symbol boots up.
    If you are still having issues with setting up wifi and the phone is not able to connect to any other wifi spots, you may need to restore/hard reset your iPhone. You will need to make sure your device is backed up as this will erase all data. Attempt to setup as a new device and then try the wifi connection again.

  • Why won't my iPhone connect to my home wifi?

    My iPhone always used to automatically connect to my wifi now it won't even find it and when I type it in manually it won't recognise it what can I do to sort this out.  Also I can't do my update without the wifi so how do I sort it?

    Hello Trixie29,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning network issues:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Occasionally while using your iOS device, you may notice unexpected Wi-Fi behavior:
    Difficulty locating or connecting to a network
    Unexpected Wi-Fi signal strength or disconnects
    Inability to access the Internet
    Not automatically connecting to Wi-Fi when expected
    Follow these steps to troubleshoot the above issues:
    Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
    Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
    Tap and Forget this Network.
    Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
    Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
    Update your device to the latest version of software.
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.

  • Why won't my iPhone connect to my wifi?

    I have an iPhone 5S and it wouldn't find/connect to my wifi. I tried going and looking at connections available and my network wasn't listed, I also tried connecting manually and it would say "Unable to join network". Please help? P.S My cousin has an iPhone 4S and it also happened to her, she checked with a nearby repair place and they said that we should restart out iPhone completely (meaning that our data etc. would be gone unless backed up) so my cousin took the risk and restarted her phone and it still was the same, "unable to join network" and no networks available. But for her it happened last week, mine today. When we went to the shopping centre our phone listed the free wifi networks. HELP PLEASE.

    Have you tried rebooting your router by unplugging it for 30 seconds to one minute?
