Bluetooth connection with Mac Book Pro
How do I set up a Bluetooth connection with my Mac Book Pro?
I'm trying to set up the Blue Tooth connection so I can use internet tethering from my iPhone to my MacBook Pro. I have already set up the USB option and that works well on my Rogers network. I've achieved Bluetooth paring between the iPhone and MacBook, but I can't get them to connect.
I'm using Snow Leopard, if that makes any difference.
Any ideas?

Bluetooth connection between Mac book pro and IPad
Hello,
i am having trouble creating a Bluetooth connection between a Mac book pro running Mac OS X 10.6.8 and a IPad air 2 iOS 8.1.2.
I have managed to pair the devices but when I try to create a connection to transfer data an error message on the Mac comes up saying "Bluetooth network unavailable, make sure device is on, in range and set up properly", similarly if a connection is tried from the iPad an error message comes up saying "make sure the device is on".
Both devices Bluetooth is on and discoverable and i have managed to pair them but can't create a actual connection!
Any help / ideas appreciated?
Best regardsBluetooth paring for file transfer is not supported on iPads.
You can use Airdrop if both devices support it, or a 3rd party App, but you cannot directly pair an iPad to a Macbook and transfer a file over the bluetooth connection. -

When using my macbook pro to stream music etc/BBC iplayer from the internet the connection fluctuates whereby it keeps reloading. My Imac desktop on the other hand has no problem at all and they are both within the same distance from the router approximately 8 feet. Any suggetions anyone please?
Hey halley.carleton,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the Mac is having connectivity issues. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

what do i need to connect my mac book pro to the tv with the mac's thunderbolt port to hdmi? I have the newest macbook pro. I'm wanting to have the best picture I can get from my 1080p tv. thanks
Thanks Community! I solved the problem. In fact it was not a problem but lack of understanding. These guys at Apple are way ahead in thir thinking. I will try to explain as short as I can.
In Lion, ihe Prefferences/Display show only two choices: 6-7 steps of resolution and some color tab. No two screens, no two display to overlap, nothing for us to do. "That was the problem"! Everything is automatic.
When I connected the HDMI cable to the Miniport into a T-bolt slot, the TV screen showed the "spiral galaxy" how Zyriab is calling it. In fact he gave me the best clue. That shows the connection is good. But where is the Mac Book image?
You have to drag it to the right out of the Mac Book display area, and "voila!" it will continue on the TV screen. The same with the mouse pointer, push it out ofthe Mac Book display area and you see it on the TV sreen. Good image, you can keep the max resolution, etc. The sound is still on the Book's speakers. I have to figure that out.
Thank everybody, especialy Zyriab, ne was the closest.
High regards to everybody -

How do I connect my Mac book pro to Apple TV wireless
I am not sure how to connect my Mac book pro to the tv with Apple TV wirelessly
You need to enable home sharing in iTunes on MBP and Apple TV. You will also choose which photos to share within iTunes.
Setting up Home Sharing for Apple TV (2nd generation and 3rd generation) - Apple Support
Any movies would need to be imported to iTunes or pointed to it if on external drive.
Back up your iTunes library by copying it to an external drive - Apple Support
The movies would also need to be compatible with Apple TV
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High or Main Profile level 4.0 or lower, Baseline profile level 3.0 or lower with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
They would then be accessed by going to the Computers icon on Apple TV.
Note: Computer needs to be on with iTunes running. -
How do I connect my Mac Book Pro to a projector I have the adapter but cant get anything on the screen
Go to your "screen settings". then chose "find screen" then you vill find the prosjector.
this will probably fix your problem.
if this dont works can it be something wrong with your adapter.
hope it helps -
Mavric doesn't support my 5 years old Big Screen Display, OR? Tried to connect my Mac Book Pro after installing Mavric, The Screen didn't work as before. I could only see the Desktop but not the movies for example.
<E-mail Edited by Host>It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
So what to do, what to do.
Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
So what you will have to do is this:
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files. -
I want to connect my Mac Book Pro to the internet in France without any wifi connection available? Mi Fi? Sim card? All we have is a phone signal in this rural French location. I want to be able to Skype to states from there. We have a friend with a 3G ipad who uses an Orange sim card to do it. I would rather not have to buy an Ipad.
thanksI found out that the data package for one month useage with MiFi is 1G. How many minutes of online time does that correspond to?

Hi, i tried to connect my mac book pro on my tv. I can't clci kon mirror displays
Hi, i tried to connect my mac book pro on my tv with my hdmi cable but when i click on displays, "arrangement" doesn't appear . Even if i click on detect displays, it doesn't work. Mirror displays doesn't appear on my screen. Does anybody get any idea ?
Thanks a lot for your help
VictoriaHello Victoria,
It sounds like you are connecting your MacBook Pro with your television, but you are not getting additional options for your external display.
I found an article with steps to troubleshoot issues with displays. This article is for internal and external displays, so you can skip any steps referring to the internal display. I recommend reviewing the section titled "No video or no signal, image distortion, 'snow,' or flickering" in the following article:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

i bought a mini DVI to HDMI convertor and a HDMI to VGA cable to connect my mac book pro to a tv but it doesn't work any one can help.
I would suggest looking into a Thunderbolt to HDMI connector. In this case, you may be able to use the TV as an external monitor. For this option, please confirm through additional research. I have not tested it personally.
You can also use an Apple TV, which connects with HDMI. In this case, you can use Airplay Mirroring. Not all Macs support Airplay Mirroring, so you need to check first. I have a Mid-2011 27" iMac, and it supports Airplay Mirroring. I don't use it often because my TV is in another room, but I just tried it and it worked. It had to change the screen resolution to work well, so I don't know if I would want to use it as my day to day monitor. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5404 -
How to connect my mac book pro to network printer Canon IR 2010f?
I'm desperate to know how to connect my Mac book Pro to network printer Canon IR 2010f. This printer has an independent system, therefore, no need a PC to be on, in order to print. But this printer is a network printer. Help me please.
The Canon UFR2 v2.20 driver for Mac OS X does not list the iR2010F as a supported model. The same is so for the Canon PS driver so I therefore believe this model is PCL5e only.
What you should do is open Safari and type the IP address of the iR2010F. This will connect to the internal web page of the copier and from the provided pages you should be able to see what printer languages are supported.
If it only lists PCL then you will be able to print to this copier using the Generic PCL driver included with 10.6.
So if you open Print & Fax, click + to add and then select IP > LPD for the protocol you can then enter the IP address of the iR2010F and leave the queue name blank. For the name you can change that to iR1020F and for the Print Using, select Generic PCL Laser Printer.
One note with regards to this driver. It is defaulted to 300dpi so you will need to open the print dialog when you do print and change the resolution to 600dpi to get better print quality.
