Blue Tooth and Mac Air
Hi, First time using the support page. I have a Blue Tooth mini speaker that worked easily with my Mac Air, until this week when it won't sync. It is the only Blue Tooth device I use (not very techno savvy :-)).
I have tried turning the speaker off and then turning it on when I try to sync... nothing seems to work.
Any thoughts?
Thanks so much!
Have a look on iPhone 4 manual, page 47 , regarding Bluetooth Devices:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf
also http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647for a list of iOS : Bluetooth Supported profiles.
What are you trying to achieve?

my new iphone 5c does not pair with Macpro while Macpro display pairing via blue tooth and also my new iphon 5c does search other smart phones while Macpro does so
The iPhone supports only a limited number of profiles and will only pair with a computer for internet sharing (tethering, hotspot if your cellular carrier plan supports that). http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647

I love Apple and I use all product. iPhone 3,3s,4,4s,5, iPad and Mac Air(now no more 3,3s and 4)... Only one thing I want to know is... What can I do if some one spy on my phone? How do I protect all my stuff that I put in my phone?
the only way that anyone would be able to see anything at all on your phone is if they knew your apple id password, or they were looking over your shoulder
if you are concerned that someone may know your apple id password, please change it at appleid.apple.com -
my airport time capsule will no longer allow our iPhones or vizio smart tvs to connect to it, though my iPad air mac mini and mac air connect fine. Why is this? does a recent software update have anything to do with it?
What model is your TC? What is the firmware?
I recommend you do a factory reset and use short names.. not apple recommended names.
Short.. 2-20 characters .. less than 10 even better.
No spaces.
Pure alphanumeric.
Set fixed channels for 2.4ghz wireless.. test with 11, 6, 1 at least.
That often helps.. if not and is old, ie Gen1-4 go back to 7.6.1 firmware which is far more solid. -
It appears that I cannot share documents between my iMacs and and Mac air using icloud without first opening document in and IOS device. Is this true. If so, then icould is petty much worthless for me, especially since idisk will be discontinued next year.

You are correct. However, a document can not be opened by another computer unless the document has first been open by an iDevice.
iwork on iOS uses different file formats ( *.tef ) then iwork09 on Mac ( *.key , *. number , *.page ).
Uploaded documents to icloud.com must first be updated to the *.tef format and then re-written to the cloud system. The online service behind the iwork web-app does the re-conversion to Mac formats, pdf or Microsoft office. All that is happening "in the cloud", not on your Mac as he misses the engine to do the transcoding from the *.tef to the other formats. Mac simply does not know what *.tef is. -
MacBook Pro and Mac Air - "external monitor"
Is it possible to connect MacBook Pro and Mac Air and use one as an "external monitor"? And if so, which cable would I need?
Hi Hello1852,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
To use another Mac as a secondary display with your Mac, it will need to be an iMac, not a portable Mac. To learn more about using another Mac as a secondary display, take a look at the article below.

how do I use blue tooth and infrared on my laptop and how can I read the memory card in the sd slot?
You will need to enable bluetooth on your laptop. there are usb bluetooth dongles available for sale. Install the device on the laptop, pair it with your mobile phone and simply drop the MIDlet jar file on the bluetooth ftp exchange folder on the laptop. Ensure you enable ftp service while installing the usb dongle. hope this helps.

Dead Air Phone Calls with Blue Tooth and Speaker function?
My experience with Note 4 speaker function and blue tooth headsets is they malfunction as often as they work properly during phone calls. When the speaker or blue tooth is activated during a call there is dead air between myself and the other party. I am on my fourth Note 4 in a month due to this problem, that is I bought a new phone and Verizon has sent me three replacements in an effort to fix the issue. Each phone has malfunctioned in exactly the same way. Verizon and Samsung are unable to discuss this with me other than to go through all the diagnostic steps every time I call to ask for help. I am at the point of either living with the problem or changing phones altogether.
Something I find amazing is when I talk to Verizon or Samsung they say this is not a reported issue. Maybe I am the only person who had this experience. Maybe I got the only four Note 4's (in a row) that malfunction like this. Maybe.
This leaves holding the phone to my ear, which is rather old school and does not work with my state's driving laws. Any fixes or reality checks are welcome.SteveQuintanaRealEstate,
I'm saddened to hear that you've had such an experience with your Galaxy Note 4's. It sounds like Verizon has done everything possible to assist with your Samsung devices. Have you noticed any patterns to when the malfunctions occur?

I have a Sony Spiral phone and can not transfer music to it. I have tried USB and Blue tooth. I either get a message on the iMac saying "not enough space" but I have a Micro SD card in the phone. Or via blue tooth when I select yes on the phone to confirm the transfer it automatically cancels it.
You will need to refer to the user manual for the phone.

Transferring files between iMac and Mac Air
My daughter gifted me a new but older Mac Air (mid 2011). I tried to transfer files from my existing iMac (2008) to Mac Air using migration assistant, but the connection never happens. What am I doing wrong?
It sounds like you were attemting the transfer over a network. Try creating a Time Machine backup (or updating the one you have) and use that with Migration Assistant. It is faster and more reliable. You need a Time Machine backup anyway so if you don’t have on this is the time to create one. Create one (or more) for each machine.

Share aperture on my iMac and Mac Air
Can Aperture (and iPhoto, if possible) be used on my two computers?
I have all my photos on my iMac and have a Mac Air.
I would like to have them on both.
BTW, I will be buying a new iMac when they are available in a few weeks.
In case that is an issue in having an older model.
The current iMac is about 5 years old.According to Aperture FAQ, you're fine as long as you don't use it on both your iMac and Macbook Pro at the same time, and if you are not a commercial enterprise or educational institution.

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion after purchasing Apple TV yesterday from Best Buy.
I have signed in on the same wi-fi network (comcast 30mbps)
I was able to see photos from my wifes Iphone but not my IMac or Mac Air
Both computers connect but I am only getting audio.
I updated software on Apple TV
I shut everything down and reset my router. My Mac Air 13" 2012 was able to see the desk top but not anything that I was doing and then it disconnected.
I also tested the internet speed on the Apple TV but it just told me it was finished. (no results)WEP as a security measure is laughable nowadays. Even a kindergarten kid with a netbook can crack the password in a few minutes. Try using WPA2 if available on the device. And the Macs will be quite happy connecting with that protocol.

My calendar is not syncing between iphone and Mac air on iCloud.
Hi
The calendar entries I am adding either on my iphone or mac air via icloud are not syncying between the devices. Is anyone else having this problem currently? If yes, how can it be resolved. I have deleted the account and added it back in but to no avail.
ThanksAre all the devices set to actually sync calendar entries to iCloud? If any of them are set to sync with some other service (gMail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) while some of them are set to use iCloud then they can not sync. Or if they are set to iCloud but only set to sync say contact and bookmarks then they will not sync. They all have to be set to iCloud and they all have to have the calendar option selected.
